STAND BACK
Chapter 2
Stand back, stand back
In the middle of my room
I did not hear from you
It's all right, it's all right
To be standing in a line
Standing in a line
Standing in a line
Rick woke up early , he stood on the porch looking out over the neighborhood enjoying a hot cup of tea. He couldn't believe how normal the place looked or what was once considered normal. The truth was Alexandria wasn't what passed for normal these days, normal was what lay beyond the walls. He closed his eyes and opened them and for a moment he imagined that he was somewhere else the past. He couldn't help but think how much Lori would have loved this place, he remembered when they were first married when things had been good between them they use to drive through neighborhoods like this community and dream oneday...
Rick took another sip of his tea and then set the cup down, Deana had assigned them all jobs and she had given him and Michonne that of police enforcers, he was even wearing the uniform to prove it, it was funny in a way but typical of this place. He had the first shift and Michonne had the second. He'd gotten up early this morning and he couldn't really figure out if he was avoiding her or not. Ever since him, Daryl and Carol had decided that they would make plans to take the community over if the people couldn't adapt he had felt guilty every time he looked at her. He wasn't use to keeping her in the dark about things like this, it was the fact that he knew how bad she wanted this place, wanted it to work and wanted to work with Deana and the rest of the Alexandrians that gave him reason to pause and keep her on the sidelines, he didn't like it but there it was, and he knew deep down it was more then that, if he told her, he knew there was a good possiblity she would be able to talk him out of it and he didn't want to be talked out of it. He also didn't want to dissapoint her , not after all they had been through. Rick shook his head as he made his way down the street. As he walked down the street on his way to the main gate he noticed Carol conversing with a group of women, that woman sure does get around and early too he thought as he walked by.
"Hey Rick" called Carol catching up with him
'How's it going' he asked her
"Great" said Carol easy as pie these people are to easy, I've already worked out how I'm going to get the guns, when I go to the Pantry later today I'm going to make sure the window is unlocked and sneak back in tonight and get the guns they won't even notice, btw have you seen Daryl"
"No not since yesterday evening" said Rick
"Me either" said Carol shaking her head "I asked him to take a shower yesterday and I haven't seen him since, and I'm pretty sure he ignored me and still hasn't taken one... and did you see him skinning those squirrels on the porch. The people here don't know what to make of him"
Rick couldn't help but smile, even Deana didn't know quite what to make of Daryl
"Give him time Carol he'll come around you know Daryl it has to be when he's ready"
"I know huffed Carol..but honestly Rick he has to take a shower, he needs it the next time I see him if he hasn't I may have to enlist your help to make him"
"I'll talk to him about it..but even I can't make any promises..Daryl can be real stubborn when he wants and he's not taking to this place well"
"I can't blame him for that said Carol, these people..they're weak and if we let our guard down we'll become weak too, this place is nice but its not real.
"Yeah I know said Rick..I'll see you later Carol
"Sure thing" said Carol as she headed off in the opposite direction smiling and waving to people
Rick watched her and smiled Carol sure had come a long way from the timid woman he'd first met on the road, but then they had all gone through changes and because he didn't want to dwell on that thought to long he began making his way around the wall.
Later that afternoon as Rick was walking around the community he bumped into Jessie, she was in her garage with the door open.
" hey Rick" she called smiling and waving
"hey Jessie" said Rick smiling back at her
"So ' she said staring at him anything interesting happen today"
Rick tilted his head he didn't wether Jessie was being serious or not but judging by the look on her face, she was poking fun
" well I walked around the community 6 times, said hi to a few people..an that's about it"
" Oh is that all" said Jessie and I thought you would have so many interesting stories to tell"
Rick stood up a little taller and slightly tilted his his head and looked at the blonde woman, I could tell you a lot of stories I don't know if you would think they were interesting or...
" Or what" asked Jessie curious, she wanted to know why Rick would hesitate
" Nothing" said Rick its just being out there and now being in here..I never really thought of them as stories ..just stuff that happens..stuff that still happens..you know what I mean"
Jessie stepped closer to him and looked at him " yeh I think I do..or at least I would like to, I want to know what its really like out there..sometimes I think maybe we've all been in here to long..to sheltered..I feel like we should be doing more you know"
Rick nodded
" Look" said Jessie why don't you come inside I could make you a glass of tang..my boys love the stuff and we can talk some more".
Rick looked around " where is Pete" he asked
it was only an instant but Rick noticed the change in Jessie's feature even though the tone of her voice remained cheerful.
"he's not here he's at the infirmary and he won't be back for awhile, he usually comes home around two, to eat and take a nap, so you don't have to be concerned about him"
"I'm not said Rick that is ..if your not"
Jessie smiled..look its almost noon now the boys will be home soon..but just to let you know my mornings are usually free ..so anytime you want to come around and talk I'm here ok she said smiling.
Rick nodded " I'll see you around I have to go he said somewhat awkwardly he didn't know if he was imagining that Jessie was inviting him over for friendly talks or was there more to it and if there was he couldn't make up his mind or not if thats something he wanted ...but his body was telling him he did, he felt his cock go rock hard as he walked away and couldn't wait to get home to relieve himself. As soon as he got home he went to his bedroom and locked the door, he undid his pants and imediately began to work his hand over his member as he imagined Jessie bent over while he fucked her doggy style, fucked her till she screamed his name and he came all over his hand.
Oh god how he wanted to fuck her ..it was so bad it almost hurt, and the fact that she was offering herself up to him made his cock twitch just thinking about it, Pete was a problem for sure , being the only doctor but that wouldn't matter once they took over Alexandria ,Pete was a problem that could be easily eliminated in due time..whatever he wanted he would take it and that included Jessie, she would be good for Judith too she could take care of her and give Michonne and Carol a break, she smelled good and was proabably a decent cook too,and the fact that he could fuck her every night was even better, why not he thought as he drifted off to sleep..why not!
Rick's mind was totally in the gutter in this chapter
