We had just got back from a run and my dad, rick was bitching the whole time about how I risked my life to save Merle.
It's a good thing we drove separate from daryl Glenn and Merle cause Merle would have beat his ass not gonna lie.
I've had this thing for Merle for a while and I feel maybe just maybe he will notice me as not the 15 year old girl that was scared at the beginning of the world ending but the 21 year old who is living by Herself in Alexandria.
I don't know how I ended up having my own house but I love it. I didn't want to be greedy and have a huge house all to myself so I took the smallest one which is still big to me.
Me and dad got back first.
"You have got to stop treating me like a little girl I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm 21 I'm an adult. I can go on runs without you just stop breathing down my neck dad." I say shutting my door and walking my way home.
"Hey hey wait up girl" it was Merle.
"What do you want Merle?" I say not making eye contact with him.
The thing about being 15 when the world ended I never got to lose my virginity and I've been wanting to jump Merle since he got back with us at the prison.
"I just wanted to say thank ya for you know Savin my life" he said walking beside me.
"It was no big deal" I say shrugging.
We made it to my house and I unlocked the door with the key under the mat.
"It is a big deal your dad just chewed ya out for it sweet cheeks" I opened the door and put the key back under the mat.
"He is just over dramatic." I say I open the door for him and he goes in and sits on my couch and props his feet up.
I shut the door behind me and Merle laughs.
" you are right about one thing tho" he says looking me up and down.
"And what is that Merle" I say crossing my arms over my chest.
"Your not alittle kid anymore damn your a young adult that is strong as hell" he says standing up.
"Well thank ya Merle your not that bad yourself" I say laughing at the end.
"Imma head on out now I'll see ya around sugar" Merle says walking out. I shut the door behind him with the biggest smile on my face.
Did Merle Dixon just say all that to me oh my fucking god it's like I was in a dream. He finally noticed me as the adult I am.
*******
A few days later.
I woke up to knocking on my front door.
"Sugar tits come on out we got a run to do." I hear Merle say from down the hall.
Shit. I sit up real quick and look at myself in the mirror.
Double shit. I look like shit. I'm in a tank top and pj shorts.
I hear the front door open. Did this man really use my key. I mean he did see me use it so I guess it's my fault. I hear him walking down the hall.
"Sugar wake your ass up we gotta go in 15" he says coming closer to my open door.
I jump out of bed and run to my closet.
"Just a minute Merle let me get ready" I grab my jeans my boots with socks and the shirt that has the least amount of holes.
I come out the closet with Merle leaning against the door frame.
