Save Me

64. I Know You

Molly and Negan make their relationship public as Negan struggles with what is best for the one he loves.

'What about you?' I asked worriedly as I looked up to see his smiling face.

'What d'ya mean?' he asked.

'Michonne will put you back in your cell when she finds out you escaped' I said sadly.

He nodded.

'Yeah, she probably will. But hopefully she'll understand' he said tiredly.

'We're in this together remember, no exceptions' I said smirking.

He chuckled and repeated, 'no exceptions'.

He held my hand as we started to walk back until I stopped, making him turn back around.

'Life's too short, I don't wanna waste a single moment. Let's just be together, fuck everyone else' I said throwing my hands in the air.

'Not sure how your fellow Alexandrian's will feel about that' he chuckled as he played with my hand.

'I don't care, I want you, I want us and I'm tired of putting everyones happiness above mine' I said pleadingly.

'So we do this' Negan said excitedly as I nodded, 'we do this'.

'No exceptions' he uttered smirking.

'No exceptions' I repeated as we intertwined our fingers together and walked back.

I had butterflies in my stomach the whole way, anticipating what was to come.

I looked up at Negan to see that he was just as anxious as I was and he was rarely ever nervous about anything.

He usually concealed his nerves with humour but I could always tell when he was really nervous by his complete silence because he usually loved to talk.

We had stayed out quite a while and the sun was now starting to rise so I knew labourers would be starting their work.

Plus, Michonne liked to get up early so I knew she would be out and about.

As we got closer to the fence, I could hear the hustle and bustle of voices.

I climbed up the fence when Negan gave me a boost and he climbed up after me.

We dropped down into the compound just at the back of my house and as we peered around, we noticed that no one had seen us.

'See, she doesn't have to know' I whispered to him as we strolled through the street.

Michonne spotted us while she was in the field and furrowed her brows, probably wondering where Negan's guard was.

She started to walk over to us which made Negan let go of my hand.

I turned to him and frowned in confusion, thinking he had chickened out when all of a sudden he turned to face me directly.

He placed his hands gently on my face and planted a deep kiss against my lips for all to see.

I raised my eyebrows in shock, but soon melted into the kiss as my hands snaked around his torso.

I could tell he was going for an all or nothing kind of situation, so I deepened the kiss.

My tongue traced along his bottom lip as I nibbled gently, begging for access to his sweet mouth which made him smirk.

His tongue playfully flicked against mine as our hands roamed all over each other.
