I lay with my back on the pool table of the bar I work at in a small town in North Georgia. I run my hair through his dirty brown hair and he pulls away from my lips.
"Sorry Missy, boobs don't get ya everythin'." He says getting off me. "See ya around."
I growl in disgust as I stay laying on the pool table. I look to my right.
"Well look at this. If it isn't the two Dixon brothers." I say with my southern accent sharp.
"Ya know, I wouldn't leave ya like that if you let me have a piece of that ass." Merle says.
"I've always adored your sense of tryin' to get your next victim in bed with ya." I say sarcastically. I sit up and fix my dark red hair and throw it back up in the pony tail it once was in.
"Missed you to Missy." He says with a kissey face.
"Ya where'd you two run off to anyways?" I ask.
"Just out." Merle says.
"That's the answer I get every time. Try and switch it up every once and a while. But, why don't I get you two a drink." I say hopping off the table.
I could feel Merle's eyes linger on me as I walk. I grab two beers and go back to where the Dixon brothers were waiting. The three of us have been friends since Daryl and I started school together. Daryl and I are closer but Merle and I are pretty good friends too. I look at Daryl and he flashes me a smile but it's there for only a second.
"I'll leave you two. If I can't have Missy, I'll try Ally." Merle says winking at me. Ally was the girl I worked with, her mom owned the bar.
Daryl came over and sat beside me.
"What was that all about?" Daryl asked.
"Who, Merle and I?" I asked.
"No with Trevor." Daryl says. He means the boy I was with a few moments ago, Trevor. I liked him while growing up, Daryl knew that and always teased me about it.
"Nothing." I say. Trevor and I go back a bit. We had past together and Daryl wasn't happy with the end result.
"Nothin'? That's what you call nothin?!" He says.
"For Christ's sake Daryl let it go!" I say. I get up and throw my black apron on the table across from us and I marched out to the patio.
"I ain't lettin it go Missy! You know what happened last time you went 'round with this boy!" He shouted. I cleaned a table and loaded a try with cups and empty bottles.
"Are you even listenin' to me?!" He yelled. After me not answering he took the tray out of my hands.
"Hey!" I say and he sits me on a table.
"You ain't movin' till you hear me out." He says.
"Daryl I got places to be." I say trying to get down and around him.
"I don't care at the moment Missy!" He shouts.
"Ok then fire Dixon. What do you have to say bout this one?" I say crossing my arms across my chest.
"This one, is the one that you've been with and without for a while. Now you listen to me and listen to me good, I see what he does to girls. You see Ally over there." He says pointing to one of my coworkers "She has the scars from him! If that happens to you Missy, I will strangle him by his own intestines!" Daryl shouts.
"Who the hell put you in charge of takin' care of me?!" I shouted.
"I have been for a while Messiah !" He shouts. When he uses my full name I know shit is getting real.
"One, don't call me that! And two, I don't need you to! I am fine on my own." I say.
"Would your mother like to know that you are like this?" He asks with a smirk on his face.
"My mommas been dead for years now Daryl." I state.
"I mean the step monster. She thinks your an angle, what would happen when she found out that Messiah Lilly Hardin is a broke lil redneck? And that she's an all around the clock slut?" He says with a smirk.
"Well, that hurt. But you wouldn't tell her." I say getting up and standing only a head shorter then him.
"Oh I would. But maybe a month free of drinks and most importantly no Trevor in your life, I won't tell." He says.
"Fine." I say.
"That's my girl." He says roughing up my hair. I fix it and walk to the front. I see Merle watching the tv.
"Turn that stupid shit off Merle." Daryl says. All that's been on the news lately is a case that's been going on for a while. Someone took a bite out of a man, and they took him to the hospital and he was pronounced dead. But out of no where he came back to life and attacked some people. I think it's all a load of shit.
