You And Me: Hold Off

Once Daryl had finished caressing his aching nose, he could tell I was upset. "What's the matter with you?" 

"Nothing, is your nose fine?" I tried redirecting the attention and he just got angry with me.

We both heard all too familiar moans coming from behind us. Two walkers had come from the back of the store and we decided to take care of them. Daryl had shot an arrow through one and I uppercutted the other with my knife.

The backdoor of the store was wide open and many other walkers had made an entrance through that door. "There's way too many!" I said to Daryl and he yanked me in front of him out of the door. "Go, now!" He shouted and that caught the attention of the group.

I opened the door and Carl was waking up to what was going on. We were all settled in the cars and took off with the semi small group of walkers following behind us.

A few minutes had went by and I was sitting there looking down at the ground. I had news, but not the kind of news that I wanted to share with anybody. "What happened? Is everything okay?" Carl noticed the look on my face and I just nodded my head.

"Yes, just it won't ever get easy. Walkers literally just suck." I tried to laugh it off and Carl agreed. That was the real reason why I was the way I was, but for now it would have to be. "There's a store a few miles up ahead, according to that sign we just passed. Carl, you and I will go in with Daryl and look for more water."

"I've never been to California before." Carl said as well all looked up at a sign that read 

'Welcome to California'

After the guys had made their stop and successfully found more waters we drove for about another forty-five minutes. I was falling in and out of sleep and Carl thought it would be hysterical to stick his tongue out and tap me on the nose with it. I was now fully awake and shoved his face away. "You're just such a creep." I laughed and he pulled me into his chest.

"You're just such a beautiful girl." Carl smirked at me and I rolled my eyes. "Creep."

"I feel attacked." Carl's feelings were jokingly hurt. "I'm sorry princess." I laughed and he kissed me.

Rick was now driving through what looked to be a very fancy and untouched neighborhood. There very few walkers in the area, but nothing that Michonne didn't take care of.

There was one house in the middle of a culdesac. It wasn't the biggest, but it was two stories and looked untouched. We weren't completely sure of that, but we were going to find out. 

We all stopped in front of it and Carol went to the other car to feed Judith. 

The rest of the group minus my daddy, Carl and I had went to check out the house.

Carl and I had our heads leaned against each other from the side, while we were waiting.
Our hands playing with each others, almost like a thumb war, but with all of our fingers.
"Have I ever told you that you have the hands of a baby?" he giggled still staring at our playing hands. I looked at him with a playful sad face. "Now I feel attacked." I said in his face while he attached his arms around my waist, pulling me onto him. My legs straddled his waist and I looked down at him.

"We're not going to do this in a car while we wait for our group." I shoved him away and he pulled me back. "I'm so sorry, you're just incredibly attractive to me." Carl smirked and I graciously thanked him. Comparing his voice to how it was at the farm was insane. It had become so deep and I loved it.

"You have a very hot voice." I smirked and started to kiss Carl with much passion.

We looked up and saw Daryl put his two fingers to his mouth moving his tongue through his dirty little fingers and laughing

"You're just plain wrong sometimes." Carl laughed and I hoped off of Carl. 

"You two little shits hurry before you have a baby." Daryl hollered to us jokingly and Carl laughed. "Yeah right." Carl got out of the car and my eyes were pretty wide. Well little does Carl know. 

We grabbed our backpacks and headed inside the new house.

"We're going to hold off here in this house together. There's five bedrooms, four bathrooms and an office that can be a bedroom. We need to make as little noise as possible and keep all of the doors locked at all times." Rick was talking to all of us in a circle. I had Judith on my hip as she finished off her bottle.

"Glenn, I need you and Michonne to board up these windows. Power still works strangely, but never use any of the lights at night. If anybody is going to walk out of this house at any time, you need to let somebody else know. That rule goes for everybody, including myself."  Rick said as we all stood in the living room of our new home..we all nodded In agreement and in unison. We quickly took all of our belongings out, leaving a couple of bags in the cars and having the vehicles faced away from the house in case we needed to leave for any reason.
