Chapter 4
Beth POV
There was something heavy and warm wrapped around me when mornin came. Daryl was still here with me and I was in complete shock. When did we fall asleep, and why did he stay with me? I didn't want to wake him because he looked so vulnerable and it was a side to Daryl Dixon id never seen. I moved my arm from under him and he made a gruff sound. I was trying to get my other hand away and suddenly he woke up. When he saw my face he whispered to himself "fuck" He quickly unraveled himself from my body and my peaceful moment was over.
"How long have you been awake?" He asked with annoyance on his face.
"Ten minutes or so" I said without looking at him.
"And in those ten minutes you didn't think bout wakin me up." He responded.
"I didn't wanna bother you." I said.
"Well too late for that shit, I shouldnta fallen asleep with you. you're like sixteen or somethin" he said.
"I'm 18 Daryl. Are you really that repulsed by me that sleepin next to me is such a big deal to you?" I asked.
When he didn't reply I knew his answer. I shouldn't have been so affected by him for god sake. Instead of having to deal with his asshole of an attitude I turned around and walked upstairs to the bathroom. I needed a shower and a distraction from my mind. It wasn't a real big shock that the water was cold as ice but it helped me focus on just that. I tried my best to scrub Daryl's arms around me off my body, but I still felt them burning holes through my skin. Just as I was about done I heard him yell my name. I didn't reply just kept my head under the water, but the calls kept coming and the anger in his voice had grown. Before I knew it I heard footsteps and the bathroom door slam open.
Daryl's POV
What did this girl want from me? Did she want me to tell her sleeping next to her gave me the best sleep in months, that I wouldn't mind waking up to her looking at me like a damn puppy every mornin? nah that wasn't me, that's for damn sure. Instead of thinkin about Beth fuckin Greene I decided I'd eat some food because my hunger was gettin the best of me. There was an endless supply of stale cereal which didn't bother me. As a kid there was jack shit to eat. About an hour later Beth was still upstairs and I was gettin worried. Instead of letting it go I called out for her with no reply. Once that pissed me off enough I decided to go see for myself.
When I barged through the bathroom Beth was covered in only a towel which started givin me wrong ideas. 'She's a kid Dixon get your head outta your ass' I thought to myself.
"Well nice of you to respond ta me" I said.
"Sorry didn't hear ya" she said with a damn grin on her face.
"Get your damn ears checked then. When I call you name I expect you to answer me ya hear?" I told her.
"No sorry didn't quite catch that I'm deaf remember?" she said but with no humor in her voice. "Look just cuz you can't handle some guy not wanting to sleep next to you doesn't mean you gotta be a bitch to me, get over it and stop acting like a damn kid for once!" I didn't know I was yellin till I saw the shock on her face.
"I'm not a fuckin kid! Stop saying that" while she was yellin she also unintentionally let her towel slide to the floor.
In front of me now was a naked Beth Greene.
