Knight in a Leather Jacket

Chapter 3

After checking out two stores and a gas station with no luck, you and Negan finally found a deserted shopping mall. "Oh look a mall! Surely there has to be something in there with all those stores!" you turned to Negan nudging his shoulder with excitement.

"Darlin' I do love it when your lil' ass gets all excited!" Negan said slowly pulling into the parking lot.

Before you got out of the truck Negan handed you a gun and asked, "You do know how to use a gun right?"

You turned to  Negan and replied to him in a southern belle accent while batting your eyelashes."Oh my well how did I ever survive without a strong man like you for all those months on my own... "  before Negan can say anything you yelled, "Are you fuckin' serious of course I know how to use a gun this isn't the 1950s."
Negan just smiled and said, "Well hot damn (y/n), my bad! Just making sure Miss Independent was able to use another weapon besides that lil' knife of yours. By the way nice accent, maybe you can use it in the bedroom later." Negan raised his eyebrows making them bounce up and down. You just smiled at your new friend and said, "Eww, as if!", when in reality your body started to tingle in places you forgot even existed.

Once you grabbed your backpack and weapons, you and Negan finally decided to enter through what use to be a JCPenny's. "You know I use to work at a store like this back in college. And if my memory serves me right there is a back room over there, with bundles of items that didn't make it to the floor yet." You could tell Negan was impressed by your notable fact because he let you lead the way. Before you enter the backroom you and Negan peeked your faces in the small windows attached to the door, looking to see if any walkers were guarding the place.  "I think we're clear princess." Negan whispered to you while opening the swinging door.
As you both enter the room it looked as if nobody ever looked back here, which made you extremely grateful because as time went on in this new reality of yours, it was hard finding supplies in order to survive. You and Negan found a lot of things in this back room. From  clothes, shoes, and even food, which was either expired or close to the expiration, but you didn't care. You were just glad that luck was finally on your side.

After hours of exploring the mall Negan had turned to you and said, "Okay, I think we are good to go. We've got food, water, and clothes, the only thing we need now is fuel for our cars."

"Wait, what about that store," you said to Negan while pointing to a camping store. "We should probably see if there is anything in there because you never know."
"Alright fine, but we need to stay close because it's getting dark in here and there could still be walkers dragging their ugly ass bodies around." Negan pleaded to you as he got closer. Once Negan tossed you a flashlight, you both entered the camping store.

As you entered you couldn't believe your eyes this store was huge! "Okay where should we start first, upstairs or downstairs?" You asked Negan.

Negan replied in his manly voice, "Well, since we already have the majority of items we need let's get survival things like tents, first aid kits, sleeping bags, more weapons with ammo...".  As Negan was listing all the things you both needed you got mesmerized in his musky manly scent wishing he would just take you right then and there. Daydreaming about all the things he could do to you, Negan finally snapped you out of your R-rated thoughts with a snap of his fingers. "Okay, (y/n) are you ready?"

"Yeah of course, let's do the damn thing!"  You raced Negan up the stairs to the camping corner. While quickly grabbing all the supplies you believed Negan told you to grab you somehow got separated from him. "Negan... Negan... where are you?" You whispered into the air. You finally noticed a figure over by the displayed tents and said, "Negan, I got the first aid kits, sleeping bags, batteries and I even found these sweet ass walkie talkies."

The dark figure came out around the corner and said, "Why hello (y/n), its nice to see that pretty little face again."

Your body completely froze you couldn't believe what your ears were hearing. You wrapped your hand around your gun and said, "Brody... is... that you?"

Brody stepped into the light and you noticed how ragged he looked and there was a "w" scratched into his forehead. "What..did..they..do to you?" you asked your ex-lover with worry in your voice. Before Brody said a thing Negan hit him in the back of his head with a fire extinguisher.

"Let's go darling', I saw some more of these fuckers comin' this way. We can come back later." Negan said while grabbing you by the arm. You absent mindedly followed your knight in shining armor's  orders.

"Wait but don't we still need gas?" You asked Negan still looking like you just saw a ghost.

"I got some, this store had models of 4 wheelers with fuel inside each one. Its not much but it will do for now. We just need to get you safe." Negan said with concern in his voice. "So he did care about you, maybe he is one of the good guys after all," you thought to yourself.

By the time you both arrived back at your RV it was dark. "You go on ahead and turn on the lights in your RV, I'll grab the supplies." Negan said to you. You were still spooked by what had happened at the mall.

As you were walking up to your home on wheels you thought to yourself, "was that really Brody? Surely he wouldn't have killed me right... ugh I hate to admit it but thank god Negan was there with me cause I don't know what I would have done without him. Gosh I sound like a damsel in distress; but with a guy like Negan who wouldn't want him as their savior?"
