This Is How I Disappear (Negan/OFC)

Chapter 53

——— Negan's POV ———

It's still fuckin' dark out when a knock at the front door wakes me up. I'm sure it's fuckin' Rick. Yesterday, he went over my plan to take Eldritch the fuck down with Simon over the radio, but we still have shit to discuss before we actually get to it. And it can't fuckin' wait. I want to get on the road at fuckin' sunup, so we gotta get shit started.

I get out of bed quietly so I don't wake Chuck up. Yet, anyway. I'm gonna have to get her up in a few fuckin' minutes, though. I should've talked to her last night about everything she saw when she was in Eldritch's compound, but I fell a-fuckin'-sleep so quickly. She probably did, too. Neither of us sleep very fuckin' well when we're away from each other. As soon as we laid down together, it was like we could finally fuckin' relax.

Shit. I left the clean clothes downstairs last night. And I don't want to put my dirty shit from yesterday on again. Fuck, that shit went through a car crash, a trek through the woods, and two goddamn skirmishes with Eldritch and his guys. That shit's ripe, I'm sure.

I turn on the light in the hall and head down the stairs buck ass naked just to be met with Rick's eyes looking in through the window by the door. As soon as he sees me, he instantly turns his head away with a fuckin' sneer on his face. Guess he didn't want to see my dick.

I go over to the coffee table and throw on the pair of sweats that Aaron left there before I turn on more lights and answer the door.

"Really, Negan?" is how Rick greets me as he passes me to go into the living room.

"What? I sleep naked and you woke me up. And you were the one peeking in the windows like a goddamn perv." I follow him back into the living room to gather up the clothes left for Chuck in my arms. "I'll get Chuck so we can see what she knows."

Rick nods and I go up the stairs to the bedroom I left Chuck in.

"Wake up, sweetheart," I say fuckin' gently as I lean over her.

She lets out a little groan then looks up at me. "What...?" She's always so goddamn sleepy when she gets up too early. It's fuckin' cute.

I can't help but fuckin' smile. Goddamn, I missed her so much. I'm so fuckin' happy to have her back.

"Come on, baby girl. I need you to get dressed and come downstairs. We gotta talk to Rick."

"Okay." She slowly gets up and throws on the sweat pants and baggy T-shirt that Aaron left.

I guess it's good that Aaron didn't leave us real fuckin' clothes, because sweats pretty much always fit, so size doesn't matter. But I'm gonna have to at least get a pair of actual fuckin' pants from someone before I head out.

We get down the steps and sit the fuck down on the couch in front of Rick. Daryl's here now, too, sitting beside him. Rick must've let him in while we were upstairs.

"We need to know some shit about Eldritch's compound before we head out to kill those fuckers, okay?" I say to Chuck, but she's yawning. "Chuck? Are you fuckin' awake?"

"Yeah," she answers sleepily. "What do you need to know."

Rick clears his throat. "How many guys are there?"

"I'm not sure." She wraps her arms around herself, so I put my arm around her, too. I can tell she doesn't want to talk, but she's pushing through. She knows how important this is. "When I first got there, I was in a room with like thirty guys. But after that, I was mostly locked in a room by myself." She shrugs a little. "Andy said there were guys on the upper two floors, so I guess there's more than what I saw." She looks up to me. "I'm sorry I didn't-"
