AN: I thought it be interesting seeing Daryl's take on how he felt about Timi and each chapter of my "Moments with Daryl" story, so here it is. Reviews are welcomed. :)

The First Meeting
I was walkin' with Merle back towards camp after an unfulfillin' day of huntin'. I don't even see why we're even hangin' with this group, we should have just kept movin' instead of plannin' to ransack 'em. Not like they have much anyway. Merle was talkin' to me about somethin', but I learned to ignore him after all these years.
As he was ramblin' on as we walked, I heard some rustlin' comin' from the woods behind us. I went the way I heard the rustlin' come from and had my crossbow at the ready. I went through this one bush and ran into a young girl with a compound bow aimed at my head.
"Ya bit," I asked the girl. S
He didn't look very old maybe 15 or 16, she was kinda cute though. Focus Daryl ain't time to hit on a kid who probably ain't even legal.
"No, you?" the girl asked me.
I could tell she didn't have a southern accent, so she wasn't from 'round here. With 'er tanned skin I'd say she's mixed or Spanish.
"No, you're not from 'round here are ya?" I asked the girl as I lowered my crossbow.
She lowered her compound bow and replied, "No, I'm from Florida."
Even though we both lowered our weapons I still kept a close eye on 'er. I could hear Merle comin' and complainin' about me leavin' 'im.
"Well I'll be damned little brother, ya found one sexy piece of ass. What's your name Sugar?" Merle said to the girl with a grin.
"Timi," She said.
I could tell she was nervous, but why the hell do I care.
"Huh an interesting name darlin'. Names Merle and this is my baby brother Daryl," Merle said while hittin' me on the back with his hand.
Merle continued talkin' and said, "I usually ain't inta Spanish bitches, but you're pretty fine."
"I'm not Spanish, I'm half black and half white," Timi said looking at my brother.
She's really brave, I'd thought she'd run by now from bein' surrounded by two strange men.
"Huh, well isn't that somethin'. I like her Daryl nice catch," My brother said to me.
I rolled my eyes at his statement, shook my head and said, "Leave the girl alone, she probably ain't even legal."
"I'm 18," She said with annoyance.
I was caught by surprise by her age, I couldn't believe it. She looked so young I assumed she was still in high school when the apocalypse began.
"See she's legal Darylena stop bein' such a pussy. He ain't never been a ladies man Sugar," Merle said to Timi as he went over and threw an arm around her.
"Leave her alone and let's take her back to the group," I said to my brother as I slung my crossbow over my shoulder and onto my back.
"Fine, Come on Sugar. Just between us the rest of the group are assholes and pussies," Merle said as he led the kid towards our camp.
When we took 'er to the camp, Shane didn't want 'er to join because it will be just another mouth to feed. In a way I agreed with Shane, but we couldn't just let a young girl go out alone in the middle of the night. Even though I didn't get involved with the debate, I was hoping they had sense enough to at least keep her overnight. Eventually they came to a conclusion to keep 'er in our group. Merle and I were hanging around my truck while Timi was gettin' acquainted to the group.
"Isn't she a pretty little thing," Merle said to me.
"Guess so," I said with a shrug.
"Oh, come on little brother. I know ya gotta feel somethin' for her. I think she's a fine little thing," Merle said while nudging me.
"Don't gotta feel nothin'. Ain't looking for a damn relationship, just tryin' to survive." I said and walked away.
"Jeez little brother, ya no fun. Just 'cause ya don't want a relationship don't mean ya can't have a little fun," Merle said.
"Yeah, but I wouldn't do that to 'er. She's too sweet and innocent, I ain't like that," I said as we walked to our tent.
"You're to caring sometimes Darylena," Merle said.
We walked up towards Timi where she was tryin' to put up her tent.
"Ya never put up a tent before Sugar?'' Merle asked her.
I started bitin' at my thumbnail and tryin' to get my mind off of 'er.
"Nope," She said as she let out a sigh and looked at the deflated tent.
"How'd ya even stay alive this long," I mumbled out.
"Mostly stayed in my car," she said to us.
I nodded my head at her and we started to walk away, but Timi said, "Do you think you guys can show me?"
We chuckled to ourselves and went back to help her put up the tent. It didn't take long to put it up and she said her thanks to us. We headed back to our tent and settled down for the night.
"Ya think I got a chance with her Darylena," Merle asked me as he laid in his sleepin' bag.
"Na, she'd never let ya touch her Merle," I said while looking at the ceiling of our tent.
"Thanks for havin' confidence in me Daryl. Not like you have a chance with 'er. She probably don't even care about us two rednecks. We got to stick together little D. We're the only family left," Merle said.
"I know Merle. Like I said ain't lookin' for nothin'. Just wanna be alone," I said.
I heard Merle snoring and I knew he didn't hear a word I said. Even though I really can't be with the new kid, I still think there just might be somethin' there. But who would want to date a Dixon, especially me, Daryl Dixon. Whatever it's the apocalypse don't matter any ways, guess I should get some rest to go huntin' in the mornin'.
