Merle couldn't help but stare into her beautiful eyes as she caressed his cheek, the softness of her hand made him feel awkwardly happy on the inside, Asia quickly removed her hand when she realised what she was doing. She got up from the ground with looking at her then walked out leaving him on his bed with butterflies in his stomach, *Did she just..* his mind cut off frantically. Meanwhile in the other part of the building Rick is consulting with Daryl asking him to replace Michonne in the guard tower shift, he had been thinking about this plan he'd hope would be a success but he had to find some people who would be willing to go through with it.. it involved giving Michonne up to The Governor. Daryl would be one of the people he would tell..maybe even Hershel.. anyway a very confused and misjudged Asia accidentally walked into them as she was too busy trying to flush out her mind. "Sorry." She said repeatedly feeling her throbbing forehead, Rick softly grabbed her shoulders calming her down.
"What's wrong?" He said as he inspected her worried expression. "It's nothing..sorry.." she wiggled from his grasp and headed outside to refreshen herself. 'Asia was always a troubled girl..it all started when she was 15 in the 8th grade, she had a huge crush on Jimmy Thompson a 16 year old jock who was in her class. He was always nice to her when they were alone but acted like a total asshole when he was with his friends.. calling her fat, ugly, worthless.. for years she thought she was a worthless loser who would never find love. Merle was the kind of guy she hated with a fiery passion, but.. Merle himself somehow made her tingle inside everytime she heard his name or when they got into a little racial altercation, she knew he was a good guy deep down inside he just never showed it because of his cold and racist personality.
Asia glanced at the stumbling walkers on the far side of the prison gates wandering aimlessely as she felt her tension slowly fade away, a low sigh escaped from her lips when she pressed her hands against the old chipping white gate. *Merle won't like me...why am I trying.. It'll just end up like the Jimmy Thompson incident all over again.*Daryl came out of the building with his crossbow at hand heading to the tower when he glanced at Asia leaning against the gate, he stopped 10 inches from the ladder with his eyes still on her. He had a pretty good idea on why she was acting like this but didn't want to bring it up because he wanted to avoid a raging arguement and a possible knife in the throat so he just minded his own business and climbed up the tower ladder. *Asia..* the voice in her mind said. *You know you like him..* "I know I do." she said to herself quietly, clenching to the gate. *He could love you..you just have to let him change..who knows..* She presser her face against the gate and exclaimed. "You know your going crazy when you begin to talk to yourself." she let go of the gate and began to walk back towards the prison, on her way there she saw Michonne climbing down the ladder.. as always she had that stern and blank face on. Michonne barely talked unless it was absolutely necessary, Asia thought of Michonne as a role model, she was independent, strong, stealthy,... hell of a woman. Something you didn't see that much anymore, anyway Asia walked into the prison with Michonne behind her everyone was doing the same thing they were doing a few minutes ago except Hershel was wrapping a bandage on Carl's finger, Glenn & Maggie were cuddling eachother (like always)
"Where's Rick?" she said crossing her arms
"In the back.." Hershel said as he looked up at her with a cute, innocent smile Asia smiled back then headed to the back to find Rick.
"Rick?" She looked through every room until she found him staring as his Colt Python, she stopped at the door and stared at him with suspicion in her eyes. "Rick? You okay?" He slowly looked up at her then put away his magnum.
"Yeah?" He rubbed his eyes then put on a fake smile so Asia wouldn't suspect anything even though it was blantingly obvious (Rick was batshit) "I just wanted to let you know I was going away for awhile..I need to clear my mind."
"You sure you wanna go out there?.. With.. The Governor running around with his gunmen." Asia placed her hand on his shoulder. "I'll be okay, I promise." She gave him a small peck on the cheek then got up and left the room.
