"Are you deaf or something?"
"YOU! Yes....you....carrying that box of my carrots. What the hell do you think you're doing with one of my shirts on? Damned thief. My personal possessions weren't part of the deal!"
Me and Jesus peered at each other.
Then up to the porch of the mansion. Where Gregory was lounging amongst a pile of cushions and blankets, lookin mightily pissed-off.
The little toe-rag has been watching us. As we packed up some of Hilltop's food and other items that were part of the deal Mags had eventually brokered.
Their payment in advance to us. For takin care of the 'Negan' problem on their behalf.
Nate didn't appear to hear him at first. Seemed to be off on her own little planet, instead?
But when he repeated his accusation, she stopped dead and turned towards him.
"I'm not a damned thief! You went and bled all over mine. So, now....I'm wearing one of yours. I call that a fair trade, Gregory. Put your big-girl panties on for once and deal with it!"
"Ahhhh yes, I remember you now. Harlan said that you did very well in assisting him. Why not stay on with us here at Hilltop? You can be my nurse. And see to my errrr....dressings."
His insinuation was sly and smarmy.
"It's Natalie....isn't it?"
"Oooow shit!" Breathing the words out, I sprint faster than fast.
Snagged her arm, just as she dropped the box. Then began stalking like a bristling she-wolf....towards the steps between her and him.
Clapped my other hand over her mouth. To halt her very graphic verbal train of thought.
Took all my strength to get us into the R.V, plant her backside on the bench seat. Held her down and waited patiently. Until she stopped her furious wrigglin to get away.
"Stay here! We're almost loaded and ready to go. Yer can dick-punch him after we're done with our side of the deal. I won't stop yer. Hell, I'll even hold the prick down and cheer yer on" I whispered consolingly into her ear before jumping out the door.
"Wasn't going to do that, Babe. He hasn't got one, or the balls to go with" She called out in disgust, but stayed put as I'd ordered her to.
"What was that all about? It looked like she was going to rip him a new one. Not that I'd blame her, of course."
Jesus handed Nate's box up to Blue. He stacked it on the roof of the vehicle with the rest, and started tying them all down. We've already filled most of the inside.
"Word of advice. If yer don't wanna find yer nuts up in yer skull? Then don't ever call her by the name that he just did."
"What name?"
"Fuck, she's got ears like a bat and I ain't dumb enough to say it out loud!" I whisper.
While peeping warily around me....as if in fear for my life.
"Smart decision, Dixon" My woman's voice wafted out from inside the camper, makin Jesus's eyes goggle.
"Ok then. Going by Nate's reaction, seeing me in your bedroom this morning....and the look she gave Gregory before? I'm sure glad it was you chasing me in that field, Daryl. And not her."
"Yer ain't dumb then, either" I observed as he walked away, laughing.
I know Nate's already startin to like him a whole lot. And goin by his actions so far, plus the fact that he's gonna join us in our attack against Negan?
