"If love manages to sprout from the soil that hatred has irrigated, then that means it must be true love." What are you capable of doing to protect the ones you love? What about the ones you hate? What makes you fall for someone who you just know you shouldn't be falling for? Is it their smile? Is it their heart? Their voice? Maybe the small mannerisms like how their brows furrow in concentration? And how long does it take for that said someone to sneak into your heart when you know you shouldn't have left the door open? Maybe you should just let yourself find out. What's the worst that can happen? -- Hello, my lovely cherries! This story starts a while after our favorite antagonist Negan crosses paths with Rick Grimes and his group. There have been some alterations in terms of storyline, timeline and events, so I wanted to give you a heads up before you dive in, because there may be some confusion. It's an angsty and rough slow burn and there is some smutty stuff (gotta give the people what they want, right?). Negan x OC. It's my first ever published story and there will definitely be a second part, but it's still in the making and I wanted to see how this one does. So, enjoy! Warning: Contains mature themes such as sex, violence and inappropriate language. There are some spoilers, so if you haven't seen the show until the very end, go watch it and come back here.

Spencer wraps the blanket tighter around us causing me to melt into him further. He sweeps my wet hair over my shoulder while I stare out towards the golden sunset. He plants a kiss on my temple before nuzzling his face into my neck. "Thank you," He whispers. I run my fingers through his soft curls, "For what?" "For showing me life doesn't always have to be so serious," He sighs. "I don't know what I did before you," He mutters, almost like it wasn't for me to hear.
