Setting The Record Straight

Georgie knocked on Negan's door and waited, after a few moments he answered. He had what appeared to be a glass of scotch in his hand and he didn't look all that happy to see her.

"Negan. Please let me explain"

"You don't have to. I get it" he said as he retreated inside, Georgie following being him.

"No Negan, it's not what it looked like" she promised.

"Really? Coz what it looked like was you running into another man's arms and him whisking you off in his flash fucking car" he said, a hint of anger mixed with sadness in his tone.

"Negan-" she began only to be cut off.

"I was stupid to think that you would be happy sneaking around with me. I know we never put a label on this thing... but fuck Georgie I thought we had something".

"Negan shut up for a second!" Georgie cried and he looked at her a little stunned. "Please let me talk" she begged and he gave her a nod. " He's my brother Negan" she said in exasperation.

"Your brother?"

"Yes! The guy you saw me hugging was my big brother Ty. He's in town for a friend's engagement party and surprised me with a visit".

"Seriously, he's your brother? Fuck... now I feel like an asshole"

"You're not an asshole" she said as she approached him and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"God Georgie I was going out of my mind thinking you were out with another guy. I have never been jealous in my life but fuck... my head was spinning" he sighed as he wrapped his arms tightly around her, not wanting to let go.

"I would never do that to you. You know that don't you? I thought you trusted me?" Georgie said sadly as she looked into his eyes.

"I do. Fuck of course I do. I'm so sorry Sweetheart" he said as he placed his hands either side her face and kissed her desperately.

"Ty is waiting outside. He drove me here. He'd really like to meet you. If you're okay with that?"

"You told him about us?"

"I tell him everything, he's pretty much my best friend. He basically raised me since I was fifteen".

"What did he say when you told him?"

"He's fine with it. He just wants me to be happy. And I am Negan, I'm so happy with you. I'd never want anyone else" she told him.

"I'm happy too Sweetheart" he smiled. "Why don't you go get him, bring him in for a drink" Negan said.

"Are you sure?"

"Definitely" he nodded. Georgie gave him a smile and turned for the door. "Georgie wait" Negan called out.

"Yeah?"

"I uhh... when I was going crazy before and I thought I'd lost you, I realised something" he said as he approached her, placing a warm hand on her cheek.

"What's that?"

"I love you Georgie" he confessed.

Georgie looked shocked for a moment before a huge grin spread across her face and her cheeks flushed pink at his admission. "I love you too" she smiled in reply before pressing her lips to his in a passionate kiss, pouring all her feelings into it.

"So you're my girl right?" He smiled.

"I am most definitely your girl" she said before giving him one last kiss. "I better go get Tyler"
