I Love You So

Part 39

"Mmm... Let me think about it." Negan said as he wiped his mouth, looking over at Judith.

Amanda pulled the bread out of the oven and watched Negan nervously as she cut a slice, serving it to him.

"Which room is hers?" Negan asked Amanda

"Second door on the left. Right by the stairwell." Amanda said

"Alright. Nobody goes in that room! You understand? You see baby shit, you leave it!" Negan shouted, nodding at Amanda.

"Thank you." Amanda said, looking up as a man came out of hers and Ricks bedroom. She chewed on her lip as she saw the man holding up a pair of black laced panties, "Nice." Amanda said as she inhaled deeply

"Not many women in our camp." Negan said, looking at the man holding her underwear, "Amanda, how would you like to become a Savior?" He asked, "I need a strong woman in my corner. Cooking my meals, killing my walkers."Negan said as he grinned over at Rick

"I thought I already was a Savior? Isn't that what you said? I work for you, I'm a part of you." Amanda said, telling Negan whatever he wanted to hear, in hopes that he wouldn't be too aggressive and kill anyone else.

"Mmmm, mmm, mmm. Rick, I see why you married her! Smart! Smart!" Negan laughed as he looked at Amanda in amusement, "We have ample supplies for you. What did you do before this?"

"I was in the Army then I became a nurse." Amanda said as she wiped Judith's mouth for her.

"Amazing. We have an army and we have a medical team. I mean - you can be both if you want! Or neither." Negan said, "Whatever you wanna be, you can be!"

"I'm comfortable here, thank you for the offer." Amanda said, smiling at Negan. Amanda had her hands placed to her side, gripping the blade of the knife she had used to cut to bread. She had blood trickling down her hands, but she didn't seem to care. She was too preoccupied with keeping Negan distracted so he didn't destroy the rest of the community.

Rick heard soft drips and he glanced over, seeing Amanda's hand was bleeding. Very calmly, he walked over and took the knife from her hand, placing it in the sink, "Why don't you go wash up?" He said, kissing the top of her head as he handed her a towel

"Thank you." Amanda said as she gave Negan a polite nod before walking upstairs. She walked into the bathroom and washed her hands off gently, exhaling softly. She looked up as a man walked in, looking around the bathroom.

"I like your necklace." Dwight said as he reached over, touching Amanda's neck

Amanda tilted her head away, closing her eyes, shivering under his touch

"What's wrong, huh?" Dwight asked

"Your face is repulsive." Amanda said, avoiding his look

Dwight leaned in, "Your people did this to me." He snarled in her ear

"Was it not deserved?" Amanda asked

"Everything alright?" Rick asked, stepping inside the bedroom. He clenched his jaw, looking at Dwight. He bounced Judith on his hip, his eyes darting between Dwight and Amanda

"I was just telling your wife that I think her necklace is so pretty." Dwight said, "She was very ungrateful with her response."

Amanda backed away from Dwight, looking at him with disgust as she walked towards Rick. She took Judith, putting her in the sling. She carried her downstairs, rubbing her back as she walked outside. She sat on the porch, watching as men carried mattresses towards their vans.

"Beautiful sight, isn't it?" Negan sighed as he walked up to Amanda, "Working together for a common cause!"

"Mmhmm." Amanda nodded, looking up at Negan, forcing a smile. She jerked up when she heard a gunshot. Amanda held Judith close to her body as she ran down towards the infirmary, "Carl, put the gun down." Amanda begged
