The Two Dixons ( Merle and Daryl Dixon fan fiction )

Chapter 28

Ciara's POV
I was sitting with my brother around the fire, eating what I think was squirrel.

"Who are you staying with?" I asked my brother. He didn't answer me, I looked up to see him watching Kaelyn across the fire. I nudged him with my elbow. "Someone's got a crush."

Caesar jumped and looked at me, his face was bright red. "No I don't!"

I chuckled, "Sureee, and I asked you who you're staying with."

He scratched the back of his neck. "Um, Kaelyn and Michonne."

"Someone totally has a crush." I said poking his side.

He squirmed away. "Stop!"

I laughed and got up and threw my dishes in the bucket. I looked around the fire, Alex and Daryl still weren't here. "Ciara." I turned around to see Alex coming towards me.

"Hey Alex, where's Daryl?"

She looked around. "He was right behind me, it's so dark out who knows where he is."

I shrugged. "I'm going to go look for him. Go talk to Carl, I think he likes you."

Alex blushed. "Okay, see you later."

I turned towards the house Daryl and I were staying at and walked towards it. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something move in the bushes. I watched the bushes, but couldn't see anything, I shrugged and continued walking.

All of a sudden my mouth was covered and I was getting dragged into the bushes. I started struggling against the strong grip, "Stop, it's just me babe." I relaxed at the sound of Daryl's voice.

He spun me around to face him. "What was that for!" I yelled, punching his chest.

He laughed and grabbed my hands. "I wanted to show you something, follow me."

He pulled me to the gate and unlocked it. "Are we suppose to be going out here?" I asked him.

He turned his head and gave me that Dixon smirk, "Nope." He locked the gate back up and grabbed my hand.

I smiled and followed him through the woods until we came across a clearing with a lake. "It's beautiful!" I said, running ahead of Daryl, stopping at the shore.

"It reminded me of you." Daryl whispered in my ear. His hands wrapped around my stomach as he rested his head on my shoulder.

"Let's go." I told him.

"What?"

"In the lake," I told him, facing him now. "I haven't been swimming in forever."

Daryl smiled and pulled his shirt over his head, his pants soon following, leaving him in his boxers. "Hurry up." he told me.

I stuck my tongue out at him and shimmied out of my jeans, and pulling my shirt off. Daryl looked at my half naked body, and picked me up, throwing me over his shoulder.

"Daryl!" I screamed. I pounded on his back until it felt like I was flying, and than cold water surrounded me. When I got to the surface I saw Daryl grinning at me, his wet hair sticking to his face.

He grabbed my hips and lifted me up, spinning me around. My legs wrapped around his stomach, pulling myself close to him so he wouldn't throw me.

I tucked my head into his neck and smiled. "It seems so perfect here." I whispered.

Daryl's hand slowly rubbed my back. "I know."

I raised my head and looked into his hypnotizing blue eyes. Some of his hair had fallen into his face, I raised my hand and brushed it out of his face. "I love you." I whispered.
