2. Crush
"I think someone has a crush," Michonne said as I entered the apartment.
I looked over at her and smiled. She had been pacing the floor waiting my return, I thought.
"Me? On the Governor?" I said blushing.
I would not deny he was attractive, but I did not think of him like that. To me it was like looking at beautiful sunset. I only needed to admire it from afar, and nothing else.
"Well, he is infatuated with you,"Michonne said walking toward me.
"No, I think he has something going on with Rowan already. And he was just being polite," I said a little annoyed.
Did she not know by now? Had she not felt it? Every time I look it her, it was so obvious.
"Andrea, he wants you. The Governor is the type of man who gets what he wants," Michonne said laying on the bed with me.
My heart started racing as soon she got close.
"He is not getting me. I have my heart set on someone else," I said placing my hand on hers.
"Shane, I know how much you love him," Michonne whispered.
"I did love him. But Shane wants Lori. This person wants me or atleast I think so," I said softly touching her hand.
Michonne looks up at me and smiles. There are no words now. Maybe because none are needed. She holds me in her arms and I feel her heart beating against mine.
Did she know what was going on in my heart? That I had all things unexplained feelings for her? I was the one with the crush, I thought.
I had a crush on Michonne, but what if it was not returned? Could I deal with that heartache?
"I am going to get you something to eat," Michonne said getting up before I could even try to tell her how I felt.
"I am not really hungry," I objected.
"Andrea, you have to eat," Michonne said firmly.
"Okay, but will you lay down with me again after I am done?"
"Yes," she said kindly.
Would I ever find the words to tell her what was going on in my heart? Maybe, I did not need words. Maybe I could show her somehow.
She walked back over handing a plate with some bread and a glass of water.
I took a bite of the bread and took a long sip of water.
"Feel better?"
"Yes, you know what I need," I said taking her hand. Michonne said nothing, but smiled at me.
