EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON
CHAPTER 7: A HUNTING WE WILL GO
The next day I woke up alone, I had always heard of the phase "walk of shame" I got to feel it today as all eye were on me as I walked to my tent, Lori had a smirk on her face I asked "what's so funny."
"I could say is Daryl is lucky he's tent is far away or the kids would have gotten an education. You're a bit vocal."
"I'm so embarrassed." I shook my head and turned a bright shade of red, I needed a shower all I could smell was sex and Daryl sweat not that, that is a bad thing. The Greens looked up, I would see if I could have a shower and I might be able to check on Sophia at the same time while I am at it.
Finally clean I went to see if Sophia was awake, both she and Carol awake I asked Sophia how she was, she said that she was still sore, I excepted it would be for a while I told Sophia I might send Caitlyn if that was ok with Carol who nodded, I was leaving and Carol said that she wanted to thank me for bringing Sophia back, Daryl said that you helped and I'm grateful and then she hugged me.
I found Caitlyn playing with Carl, who looked better, I love seeing kids playing, the next thing I felt was arms wrap around me and a sexy voice say to me "you wanna go hunting with me we didn't really get anything yesterday."
"Sure just let me get changed and grab my gear." I came out in shorts, singlet and my boots, I could tell that Daryl liked what he saw I grabbed my bow and arrow and we were off. The forest was quite, we got lucky and got a few squirrels, and then Daryl asked "why did you choose me?"
"Well, I could say that there wasn't much choice, but would you believe I was attracted to you the moment I saw you, it's your eye's they're very sweet, also you remind me of the boys I used to know. You know my first boyfriend was even more redneck than you, what can I say I have a type, Caitlyn's was the same but only slightly better." I could tell that he didn't believe me "You're better than other people think you are, yes you are rough on the outside but inside there is sweetness to you. Also how did you get so god-damn sexy by looking so god-damn dirty? Cause if you look this good to me now I'd hate to see what would happen if you dressed up, hell I might just combust from the heat. " He just laughed and shot another squirrel. I've noticed that Daryl doesn't talk a lot but when he does I love the sound of his voice.
We reached the lake on the property "So, you fell like a swim?" I didn't wait for an answer I started to get undressed, I stripped completely and wiggled my butt as I walked into the water Daryl followed suit. The water was cold and I went to Daryl when he opened his arms as I came to him. I had to ask I couldn't help myself. "The scars, Daryl what happened?"
"They're private, none of your business, alright keep your nose out of it." I was taken aback I had hit a nerve.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked, I just wanted to know if what I was thinking was right or if I was way off and for your sake I hope I am wrong, because I'd be sad for you."
"So what you think happened?"
"I think your dad beat the crap out of you, and if so I'm very sorry to hear that."
"Yeah, he used to beat Merle and me up all the time, it started before mum died when that happened it got worse Merle took most of the beatings but then he went to juvie and he started worse on me. When he wasn't beating me up I didn't exist to him, I disappeared for 9 days eating berries and wiping my ass with poison oak, my ass itched something awful, I walked back into the house no one was there and I made myself a sandwich."
"Come here, I know this does make up for it but I am sorry to hear that, no wonder you two are the way you are but you could be a lot worse but you aren't."
I wrapped my arms and legs around him, and I kissed him, that was the first time I had ever made love in the water it was sweet, hot and lovely. I'm glad the world has gone to crap otherwise I would never had met this man.
