For a few more weeks things went smoothly. Daryl still kept himself from both groups who seemed to be getting along well. Saint and Daryl didnt talk together. They would caught each other eyes but didnt talk. She spend alot of time with Shane and Daryl didnt like it at all. But he was angry with himself for even caring. They talked through notes theyd tape to each others doors. They never said anything serious to each other, they write mostly about events that happen during the day.
The group was there for three weeks and one night they decided to have a bon fire. Everyone who wasnt on duty gathered around the fire and told stories about their life before the outbreak, everyone that is, but Daryl. Gage and Wesley shared stories about growing up, the tricks they would play on Saint and how shed get them back. Daryl sat in with everyone and watched her the whole time. Her eyes would light up with the stories and her smile was bright. Her laugh was light and he once again thought how beautiful she was.
" I remember one time the boys made me so mad." Saint started another story. " We were about six, our other brother was 8, and they all made me mad but I cant remember why."
" How many brothers do you guys have?" Lori asked. Saint smiled waved for a minute.
" Well, Gage, Wesley, and I are triplets but we had another brother." She said. She glanced down the fire before speaking again. " He didnt make it through the out break." She said. Gage started rubbing her back and she rested her head on his shoulder. Gage placed a kiss on Saints head.
" So we all made Saint mad," Wesley quickly jumped in to pick up the story. He took Saints hand and squeezed it while talking. " It doesnt take much to be honest. Saints temper is short." She sat up straight.
" I have gotten better." She said. " You have to admit that. Im better." She said. Wesley smiled as he looked at his sister.
" You are, you really are. You barely want to punch people out now."
" Wait, Saints punched people out?" Rick asked with a smile. " I cant image that, your so laid back and nice."
" Thats some stories for another time." Saint said. Daryl studied her face. " Anyway, so I got mad at the boys and waited for them to go to sleep then I crept into their room and I cut out sections of their hair." Everyone in the group started laughing.
" Our mom was so mad when we got up in the morning, she knew Saint had done it. She went into Saints room to yell at her and there was little Saint, holding three plastic bags." Gage said.
" She had put our hair in the bags and wrote our names on them so mom could put the hair back on. She asked mom if she could glue it on." Wesley said.
The group continued to share stories and laughs until everyone decided to go to sleep. Daryl had left the group early though. When Saint went to her room, she found a note taped to her door. With a smile, she took it of the door and went into her room. Her heart was pounding when she unlocked door and went inside. She quickly unfolded the note.
' I cant see you punching anyone but Id like too. Maybe you could show me on Shanes face. D.'
She laughed. Daryl really didnt like Shane but he would never tell her why. She quickly write him a note and went to his room to tape it to his door. She smiled and touched his doorknob. She wanted to knock on it, she wanted to talk to him but instead she went back to her room.
Daryl got up as soon as he heard her door shut. He opened his door and took her note down. He relocked his door and went to his bed. He laid down on his bed and carefully opened her note. He placed one hand behind his head as he read the paper.
' Gave me a reason you want me to punch him and I will. Saint.' He turned over and opened the end table draw. He kept every note she had written to him and he placed this one with the others. He shut the draw and laid back down with a sigh. He knew that night would be another long night. Pictures of her smile and the sound of her laugh were playing through his mind.
The next day Gage gathered Daryl, Rick, and Shane to follow him to the basement. He walked over to one of the supply rooms where Saint was. She was taking inventory of their supplies and had her back to them. Daryl quick took in her ass in her tight fitting jeans but he noticed Shane doing the same thing. Saint faced them with a smile.
" So we need to take a trip to the town." She said. " We also go in a group of five. I told Gage to get you three because I thought youd be the most help in town but you dont have to go."
" Its the least we can do." Rick said quickly.
" I will go if you need me, Saint." Shane said. Daryl frowned and rolled his eyes. She looked at him quickly.
" Shit doesnt matter to me." Daryl said.
" Okay, we will leave tomorrow. We will take two trucks. We have one of the bigger trucks and if its okay with you, D, Id like to take your truck too." She said. He nodded.
" So we spray painted the houses we had checked so there is no reason to recheck them. We will break off into two groups once we get there. We are looking for everything we can use for daily life as well as food." Gage said.
" We will leave at dawn." Saint said.
Saint rode in the Daryls truck, while Gage, Rick, and Shane in another truck. Gage and Shane werent happy about her being with Daryl but she didnt care and hopped into his truck without another word to them. Daryl was secretly glad she was with him even though they drove in silence.
They parked the trucks away from the town and decided to walk there. They all either had bows and arrows or guns with silencers on them. Daryl had his cross bow. Once they reached the town they scouted out with their eyes and didnt see any walkers. Saint faced them quickly.
" Okay," She kept her voice low. " Gage, D and I are going to hit the houses on the right side, Shane and Rick take the left side. We hit the stores and shops together. If we have to break something to get into a house or a store, its not worth it. No noise, dont do anything that will draw attention to us, everyone got it?" Everyone nodded. " Remember, if the house has a spray painted black x on it then we have hit it up already. We meet back in one hour."
The first few houses the three hit they were able to find clothes, soaps, towels, and first aid supplies. What they found they were piling together on the street so they didnt have to make to many trips to the trucks. The fourth house they entered had a basement and Saint thought they needed to check it out. She knew it was her turn to go into the basement but Gage didnt want her too.
" Gage, I cant ask someone to do something Im not willing to do myself. I have to do this." She said, still keeping her voice down.
" No one is going to know if you dont go down there. Come on Saint, we dont know if there is one of them there. Im not willingly to take the risk." Gage said.
" Im going and thats it!" Saint snapped. " You dont like it then watch out the front door and D will have my back." Gage shook his head and walked away. He knew better then to fight with her when her mind was made up. Saints shoulders fell slightly and she took a shaky breath. She faced Daryl while she stood at the door to the basement. " Im going down there, stay up here and watch the kitchen, make sure no walkers get past my brother." She didnt wait for his answer, she turned to him and took another breath.
" Saint." His voice made her close her eyes. " Do you have anything you want to ask me to do?" Daryl asked.
" D, this is not the time for games." She said as she opened her eyes and faced him.
" Ask me." He said. She took in the serious look in Daryls eyes. " Ask me to touch you...please." She searched his eyes before she spoke again.
" Will you touch me?" She said, her voice was breathless.
Daryl set his cross bow down on the kitchen table and came over to her. They never took their eyes from each other as he pulled her against him. He placed one hand under her chin and tilted her head up. Saints eyes closed as he tilted his head and kissed her.
Saint brought her hands to his waist then to his chest. He tighten his arm around her waist as they made out for a few minutes. Saints heart was slamming so loud in her chest she was sure he could hear it. She tugged on his shirt to bring him even closer to her. His hand slid down to cup her ass before he pushed her against her wall. He took her hands in his, interlocking their fingers. He held her hands over her head and pushed his hips against her.
Saints breath caught in her throat as she meant his hips with hers. Their making out went from slow and soft to hot, heavy and full of need. He pulled away to start kissing her neck. She melted completely into his mouth and his body.
" D." She whispered. He rested his forehead against hers. With effort he pulled himself away from her. He rubbed his chin with his right hand.
" Go. If you dont go now, Im going to strip you down to nothing and take you against the wall." He said. Saint took a deep breath to gather herself. She pushed away from the wall.
" Promises, promises." She said. Daryls smile was slow.
" I will be up here if you need me." He said.
