Chapter 2- Did she just kiss you?

Daryl woke up to the sounds of people getting up and walking around. He tried rolling over but he stopped. His arms were still wrapped around Carol, he legs entwined with his. Only when he shook her a little did she wake. "Need to get up…" he said softly as she slowly woke up. He managed to untangle himself from her and he stood, his back to the others. He looked down and grew red. The bulge in his pants didn't help the situation. He rearranged himself and pulled on his boots. He walked down the stairs quickly, following the others to the canteen, leaving her sitting on his bed, a grin on her face. So maybe she had seen..

He sat down in the corner of the room, opposite his brother. He grunted his good morning to Merle and started eating the flavourless oatmeal that Beth had made. He occasionally looked up at his brother, who had a grin planted on his face.

"Whatcha lookin' at?" he said gruffly. "How long have you and her.." he started but stopped as Carol sat down next to Daryl. She had a small smile on her lips and handed her oatmeal to Merle who was eyeing it hungrily. "There's nothing going on between us…we're just friends" She said softly, looking at Daryl. She sipped her water and looked around. Some of the others were getting up, Carl coin towards her with the baby. "Daryl?" she said and he turned his head. "Wha…" he was cut off as her lips touched his briefly. She pulled away and smiled, getting up and taking the baby. "Thanks for last night.. and this morning" she said with a small wink. Daryl sat stunned, Merle laughing into his oatmeal. What the hell did she mean this..oh fuck. She must of seen him. Great he muttered to himself.

Rick moved forward slowly toward the brothers. "Uh, Daryl.. Did she just kiss you?"
