Incendiary: Carl Grimes Love Story

Chapter Twenty-Six: Infected

Maya's Pov

" Carl ? Maya ?" I heard, but did not dare to move knowing the voice came from Mr. Grimes." Come on."

" Okay." Carl whispered before his hand went through my hair softly like always." How long do you think we can stay till he gets us again ?"

" Five minutes." I laughed before getting up and placing my boots on before grabbing Carl's purple shirt.

Carl watched me putting his own shoes on." Are you coming to see the pig pen today ?"

" I would love to, but I have to go to cell block D and check up on stuff. Maybe after I will and help you guys." I said grabbing my gun and placing it in the holster. Carl stood up also and handed a knife." What's this ?"

" Be careful while there."

" Always." I answered taking the knife and going to kiss his cheek when he moved causing me to peck his lips. We both jumped back and I could feel my cheeks blush like his." Oh my bad. I didn't know you were going to move."

He froze a bit staring at me wide eye before nodding his head," It's...It's o..kay."

I nodded my head laughing before playfully punching his shoulder," Okay, see you later."

Carl's pov

" Okay, see you later." Maya answered lightly punching my shoulder before leaving.

She gave a small smile and left the cell leaving me in shock that she even kissed me. I moved my hand to my lips and smiled before leaving with Dad down to the pig pens. We got down seeing Michonne bright and early getting a horse. I felt instant sadness knowing she was leaving for a long time.

" Careful out there." Dad said having her look up and smile.

" Always am. Any requests ? Books ? Comics ? Some stale M&Ms ?"

I laughed." You and Maya are the ones that likes stale M&Ms."

" Then I'll definitely looking for some." She laughed." I'll look for some stuff you like, too. Why don't you wear your hat anymore ?"

" It's not a farming hat." I answered back turning to her." See you soon ?"

" Pretty soon." She answered heading to the gates.

I nodded and turned heading to the grass area holding a bucket for his father and turned to where Cell block D was wishing I was with Maya. I never understood why my father didn't let me do the dangerous stuff. Why I was always here being a farmer. I looked to the walker at the fence next seeing how big the herds were getting.

" They only took out one cluster yesterday. Probably gonna need more people today. Maybe we could help."

" I got other plans involving dirt and cucumbers and keeping people fed."

I rolled my eyes annoyed." Well, if you don't want to, maybe I could. Could I ?"

" We have other plans. That's what I should have said." Dad slightly snapped and walked over to the pig pen. I followed seeing him dumping the food.
