Dixon Love

3| Nighty Night

As it got later more and more people started to pile around my fire. I noticed Daryl sitting down across from me and he was studying me. He had beautiful baby blue eyes with dark shaggy hair draped around them. He was extremely dirty but also extremely handsome.Chatter arose about the condition of the fences outside. Carol said the walkers need to be minimized but Rick said they were fine. Daryl stated that he was going hunting tomorrow and asked if anyone wanted to go. No one replied, so I volunteered. Daryl let out a small chuckle and said
"Promise not to cry if I kill any thin?"
I said " Promise" and let out a small chuckle as everyone else did. It had been a few hours of sitting around the fire when people slowly started heading towards their rooms. I stood up and politely said
"Um Lori, please excuse me if I'm being rude but would you mind showing me where I can catch some Z's tonight?"
She giggled and looked at Daryl. He huffed a sigh and reluctantly stood up. He started to walk off and I stayed there.
"New girl you coming!" He shouted at me.
" oh yah ok I'm sorry..."
A small part of me did a little title excited flip as I waved good bye to everyone. They all said good night in unison. I stumbled to catch up to Daryl but once I did my pace steadied and we walked **Left, right, left, right** we hopped up some stairs where I saw a jumbo sleeping bag, a table, and a cross bow.
"Your gonna have to stay up here with me. There is already 2 people per cell and all of them are full. I don't care what you do just remember I sleep here too."
Daryl started to strip and I began to chuckle. He took everything except his boxers off. Then put a pair of sweat pants on and crawled into the sleeping bag. He patted the spot where I was supposed to sleep and said
"I don't bite and I WONT try any thin."
I nodded and slipped off my boots and pants and stole a pair of his sweat pants and one of his t-shirts.
"Excuse me but did I say you could wear that?!" He chuckled out.
" No sir but I didn't think you'd mind making your new friend a little more comfy." I smirked and crawled inside the sleeping bag.
"Damn girl you is cold as hell." He said with a southern tone that a loved.
"Just a little." I whined.
"Come here" he said "I'll warm yah up some."
I scooted a little closer to him and he wrapped his arms around me.
"Thanks." I mumbled and then I drifted off to sleep.
