23 - SONG

It took a week before Carl finally came back to our house. Yes, our house. My mom allowed me to stay in their house and sleep in Carl's room, but not without the nonstop teasing from her and everyone else and her and Rick lecturing Carl and I about not doing anything stupid, and telling us that awkward 'The birds and the bees' story. Seriously, it was the most embarrassing thirty minutes of my life.

I've slept better than before because I have Carl. The last person I see when before sleeping and the first person I see when I wake up. It's a sight I never want to miss. It's been a month since Alexandria almost fell apart and a month since those people came in, we rebuilt the walls and made them even stronger.

Enid and I had gotten closer than before and because of me, she and Carl are friends as well. Although Enid's still pretty hard to crack by other people, she opens up to me mostly and I do the same. Rosita, Tara and I have also gotten closer, us finding out the latter's relationship with Denise. I'm happy for them, I support it.

Glenn and Maggie are going stronger than ever now that they're having a little Glenn ot little Maggie. Everyone knows about it now. Pretty much everyone in Alexandria knows how to protect themselves now. I finally forgave Eugene for his mistakes and also Gabriel, since he proved himself to be trustworthy when he succeeded on protecting Judith that night.

"Carl." I whined when I keep hearing a ball hitting the wall. It still continues. "Carl, stop it."

Have I also mentioned he's still pretty annoying?

He chuckles but continues. "Wake up, sleepyhead."

I groaned before removing the covers off me and standing up. Carl's shirt stops at my mid thighs and that's the only thing I'm wearing apart from my undergarments. I tried grabbed to grab the tennis ball from his hand but he held it above his head, making it more difficult for me to reach. Carl laughs at me as I jump up and tried to reach it, failing of course.

"Asshole." I muttered jokingly before turning my back on him.

"Oh really?" Carl grabs my waist and I squealed, covering my mouth before he pushed me against a wall gently.

He goes to lean in but I pushed his lips away using my pointer finger, shaking my head. "I haven't brushed yet."

He bites the pad of my finger, making me bite my lip as I smile. "I don't care."

I remove my finger and he leans in and kisses me. I giggled a little when he drops the ball and his hands placed themselves on the back of my bare thighs. I took a fist full of Carl's hair, before gently tugging on it, making him moan. My cheeks flushed, this isn't the first time he moaned but it's still new to me.

"You have no idea what you do to me." Carl pants, pulling away from a second.

"I'm pretty sure I have." I teased before glancing at his lower region. I laughed when his cheeks turned red, pushing him away gently and standing up straight.

Somebody knocks on the door, making me and Carl stop. Then, we heard Michonne's voice before her footsteps descended down the stairs. "No making babies at ten in the morning."

I rolled my eyes the same time Carl did, both of us amused. My stomach grumbles and I look around for a bottom to wear. "I'm hungry."

"For me?" Carl raised an eyebrow jokingly and I playfully slapped his arm, making him laugh. "I think there's breakfast downstairs."

"Carl, Farren! Come down for breakfast!" We heard Rick yell from downstairs and Carl gives me a knowing look, before I found a pair of shorts at the corner of the room.
