Lorna didn't return until later that night when Daryl was already in bed, feeling guilty for his words.

He was surprised when she walked in, stripped down to her underwear and crawled under the covers, wrapping her arms around him in a way he usually did with her.

"I'm so stupid." He heard her whispered as she rested her chin on his shoulder, playing with his fingers.

"No you're not." He whispered back. He felt her jump slightly, clearly she hadn't known he was awake.

"I am...I don't know why i would even suggest what I did. Just thinking about you with another girl hurts."

He rolled over onto his back and pulled her against his chest. "I ain't ever going to touch another women like i touch you. I don't need sex, I told you that. I've got you, that's all that matters to me. I know you're safe here with me."

"But what about what we talked about? Our future together?" She asked.

"Exactly the future. Stop thinking about then and think about now." He told her.

Lorna nodded and kissed his stubbly chin.

"And you need to stop listening to Merle." He stated making her groan. "He's a bad influence."

She chuckled. "You ain't so innocent either." She stated.

"Yeah, but you love me.." He stated.

She chuckled. "That's doesn't make it a ngood excuse mister."

"Shut up girly, we have some make up kissing to do." He grinned before pressing his lips against hers. She chuckled against his lips before she reciprocated.

A few days later and the small upset was at the back of their minds. Both Lorna and Daryl as happy as before, smiling and laughing.

Unfortunately for Lorna she walked in on a conversation that she wished she never heard.

She had just come off the phone to a customer and went to inform Daryl of their upcoming job when she heard his conversation with Merle.

"...what if she's mad about it though?"

"But didn't she say she wanted you too..."

"Yeah, but what if it was just to keep me happy and she didn't really mean it. I upset her the other night, I don't want to be going it anymore..." He sighed.

"Just to and see Jessie, she'll help with your little problem..."

What problem?

"Sure she's the right person to ask for this? It's a pretty big deal, I only want the best..."

"Yeah, everyone knows Jessie is the best around here..."

Best at what? Where they talking about...sex?

Her mind began to go over the conversation again. What where they talking about, was Daryl really going to go through with her stupid suggestion even after he said he wouldn't?

She tried to put it to the back of her mind as she made herself knowing at the doorway.

Both Merle and Daryl snapped their heads around to look at her, both looking like a deer caught in headlights.

She said nothing and handed Daryl the form. "New customer, thought you'd want to deal with it." She said with a smile before walking back to the office.

"That was close." She heard Daryl mumbled.

Merle laughed. "It's going to be hilarious when she dumps your ass for this."

"She won't! She said she wanted this too!"

"Maybe then, but who knows what's going on in her pretty little head."

That was it. She had to so something to keep him interested in her and she had the perfect idea.

"Hey, where have you been?" Daryl asked as Lorna came back from her lunch break.

"Just shopping." She smiled, holding up a bag. "Maggie was helping me with something." She said nodding to Maggie who had just walked in.

Maggie smirked. "Oh are you in for a surprise Dixon." She giggled before pushing Lorna into the office and slamming the door shut.

"Told ya baby brother. Women are crazy, that Maggie's got a nice ass on her though." Merle said as he poked his head down under the car, licking his lips.

"She's engaged to Glenn." Daryl said, shaking his head.

"This pizza boy?" He laughed hysterically.

Daryl chuckled and shook his head.

Back in the office Lorna looked down at the items Maggie had helped her pick out.

"You think he will like it?" Lorna asked skeptically.

"Of course he will, Glenn goes crazy when he sees me in stuff like this. Any man would." Maggie grinned.

Lorna cringed slightly. "Guess there's only one way to find out right?"

"I hope you're doing this because you want to and not because he's forcing you.." Maggie said.

"Daryl would never force me into that. He's not his father!"

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just know some guys can be kind of pushy. Make sure you're one hundred percent ready. If Daryl loves you like he says, he will wait."

She sighed. "I'm not so sure about that." She mumbled, but Maggie was too busy checking out her new buys.

What do you think Daryl and Merles conversation was about? Had Lorna got it all wrong?

Don't worry, this story will have a happy ending, but if you know me, I like drama 😉
