Beth sat in front of her mirror and studied her thin face. she had pale skin, blonde hair and green eyes that were slightly too big for her head. There wasn't much their. Most 19 year olds her age had boyfriends, cars and where going to college. some where even married, but not beth. She was to busy helping her father run the farm and working to help out with bills.
She pulled her blonde hair up into a loose pony tail and sighed. Beth never thought of herself as ugly but she didn't find herself attractive either. She dressed in a pair of black dress paints and a red dress shirt.
"This will just have to do" she said to herself with another sigh as she left her room and went down stairs to the kitchen.
Beth started pulling out eggs, bacon and biscuits to cook for breakfast. She lived with her father and liked to have everything ready before he went out and started working on their farm. She had just put the biscuits on the table when her father entered the room.
"Good morning sweetie" he said as he gave his daughter a big hug.
Hershel was a kind older man with grey hair that he kept short. He was exactly what you expected a farmer to look like and was Beth's whole world.
"Good morning daddy" Beth said with a smile as she pulled the juice out of the fridge and poured her father a glass.
"Your all dressed up today" he said as he took a bite of his breakfast "where are you going?"
"Im going to talk to the owner of the bank about the loan. Im going to see if we can get an extension on it."
"Beth," her fathered said looking at her with sad eyes "i don't think it will work. The bank has already sent a letter saying that we have 30 days to come up with the the payments for the last 3 months or they would take the farm."
"Well i have to try" she said.
Beth couldn't believe that her father was just giving up.
"You are just like your mother" he said with a sad smile.
Beth's mother had died in a car accident 3 years ago and it still pained Beth and her father both to talk about it.
"she would be so proud of you" he told her as he put his plate in the sink and kissed the top of her head. "good luck sweetie he said with a smile and then went outside to start the morning chores.
Beth sat at the table for a little while longer thinking about what her fathered said.
'how can they take the farm from us?' she thought to herself as she looked at the clock on the wall and jumped out of her chair. It was already 7:30 and the bank opened at 8:00. Beth planned on sitting in the bank all day if she had to. She was not giving up.
"Good morning" said the kind old security guard as he opened the door for her.
Beth smiled at him as she walked to the front desk.
"Can i help you?" asked a smiling receptionist looking up from her computer.
"Yes, i am here to see the owner of the bank about a loan" Beth said with a shaky voice.
She was a nervous wreck. Beth was an extremely shy person and hated talking to new people, yet here she was fixing to walk into the room of the bank owner and try to beg him to let them keep their farm.
The receptionist pointed her in the direction of the elevators and what floor she needed to go too.
When Beth got off the elevator on the top floor she found herself in a brightly lit white hallway that looked like something out of a hospital. She walked all the way to the end where there was a giant wood door. She opened it and stepped into a very beautiful furnished room with a very tiny and young brunet sitting behind a desk.
She had flawless skin, brown eyes and looked as if she had just stepped out of a magazine. The secretary looked up from filing her nails and eyed Beth before turning her nose up and giving a bone chilling glare.
'wow what a welcome' Beth thought to herself as she walked up to the desk and smiled.
"Hi. Im here to see the owner about a loan." She said in the happiest voice she could manage.
"Name?" was all she was asked.
"Beth Greene"
"Im sorry but you don't have an appointment and will not be seen today" the brunette said with a smirk and then went back to filing her nails.
"well I'm not going anywhere" Beth said with annoyance.
Geez how dare this lady turn her nose up at her and be rude. She was feeling a bit braver as she sat in the chair right in front of the secretary with a smile.
"I suggest you tell him I'm here to see him or else we will be sitting here staring at each other every day until i can."
"Its ok Judy" said a deep voice from the other side of the room.
Beth turned around and looked at the man standing almost directly behind her.
"Im Daryl Dixon." He said extending his hand to Beth.
She was to much in shock to say anything though and just stood there looking at him like an idiot with her mouth open. He was the sexiest man she had ever seen.
Daryl was a shorter man with a dark complexion and brown hair that almost touched his shoulders. He had beautiful eyes and was wearing a black business suit that showed off his big shoulders and arms.
'If he looks this good with his clothes on then i cant imagine what he would look like with them off" she thought and then scolded herself for it.
After several minutes of Beth starring at the man who stood in front of her she finally pulled herself back together and reached for his hand.
"Im Beth Greene" she said with a blush.
'How embarrassing is this ' she thought to herself.
"Well miss Greene your in luck. Normally I do not see anyone who doesn't have an appointment but the one i had this morning cancelled." Daryl turned back to the secretary who had been looking at Daryl the same way Beth was and thanked her before turning and escorting her into his office.
It was was a huge office that put the others Beth had seen before to shame. It was painted a grey color and had a big black desk, a comfy looking black couch and black shelves that where to the left of the desk. What really caught Beth's attention tho was the floor to ceiling windows that had the perfect view over the city.
"Well miss Greene you have your meeting. I have 30 minutes so lets get the started shall we." he said as he sat in the chair behind the desk.
Beth cleared her throat and sat in the chair on the other side of the table. Gosh he was gorgeous sitting with the view of the city directly behind him.
20 minutes later Beth and Daryl had come to the agreement that he would give them a 2 month extension but Hershel would be responsible for late fees. As Beth was getting up to leave Daryl asked if she wanted some coffee.
"No I'm fine" Beth said with a smile.
"Please I insist" Daryl said as Judy's voice came over the speaker.
"Yes Mr. Dixon" she said in an over friendly voice.
"Judy please bring in some coffee" he said.
Beth couldn't help but stare at Daryl and imagine those lips on her. She felt herself getting aroused and knew she had to leave.
"I really cant stay" she said almost jumping out of her chair "Thank you tho Mr. Dixon"
Daryl stood up and held out his hand to Beth "any time Miss Greene" he said in a deep voice that had her squirming.
When she took his hand she felt a tingle going up her arm.
'thats weird' she thought as she turned to leave.
Daryl came up behind her and put his hand on the small of her back and led her to the door. Instead of stopping their after the door was opened tho he put his hand back where it was and led her down the hallway to the elevators at the end and pushed the button. They stood their in silence for what seemed like hours before the elevator finally opened.
Beth went in and turned. "Thank you again" she said with a smile.
Daryl nodded and turned to walk away giving Beth the perfect view of his butt. When the elevator closed Beth leaned against the wall and let out a sigh.
"How embarrassing" she said as the elevator raced towards the ground floor.
