Chapter 9.
Once again Bob was in her cell. He knew this was risky, but he just couldn't stay away from here. All day long he had been picturing two of them in his mind. The scene he witnessed in the woods was such a turn on.
He stopped next to her bed with a rag in his hand. He listened to her breathing being on his guard. This woman was dangerous, he knew that.
He also knew that Rick wouldn't come here tonight. He had to stay with his baby daughter Judith now, since Beth was ill and Carol had already taken care of the girl two nights in a row. Michonne had to be tired now, since she had worked all day and taken care of her guard shift too.
Bob kneeled on the floor next to her bed, stretched out his hand and put the rag on her face lightly. Michonne moved a bit, whined in her sleep and then relaxed.
Bob waited for a moment. The woman didn't move no more. The man smiled in the dark. This truly is a perfect crime. No harm done to anyone, he told to himself.
He stood up and settled himself carefully on the bed. He took an extra pillow and put it next to the sleeping woman. Then he rolled her over so that the pillow was left under her stomach. He looked at the result with satisfaction. The angle was quite right now. He could take her from behind too. Just like Rick did earlier.
He bowed forward and started to whisper into her ear.
"Hello, girlfriend. I'm back. We can have fun together again. You're so sweet."
He settled himself behind her.

Glenn was very tired. He was returning from his guard shift and all he could think about was a warm bed next to Maggie. He walked down the hallway and around the corner so rapidly that he almost blunder into Bob Stookey who was coming from the opposite direction. Glenn dodged, recognized the man in the dark and stopped stunned.
"Bob? What are you doing here at this hour? You live in another wing. Is something wrong?" he whispered.
Bob stopped and stared at him obviously annoyed.
"I was just… just.. I think I saw a rat. I followed it here but I lost it", he said puffed.
"A rat? So what?" Glenn wasn't satisfied with the answer.
"Forget it, man. It's nothing, really. I must go to get some sleep", Bob said, turned his back and walked away.
There was something here that bothered Glenn. He looked at the hallway which Bob just came from. There was only one cell at the end of it. Michonne's.
Glenn smiled. Suddenly he understood why the man was so uncomfortable. Apparently there was romance in the air. To be honest he was quite surprised - Bob and Michonne seemed quite unlikely couple to him. And just the other day Maggie said something… something about Michonne and Rick. Oh yes, now Glenn remembered it. Maggie was sure that those two had something going on between them. If so, Glenn was happy for his friend. Rick had been like a living corpse ever since Lori died.
But now, when Glenn came to think about it, he realized that Rick had obviously been on much better mood lately. Maybe this was some kind of love triangle, Glenn thought.
He decided to tease Michonne a little with this. It might be fun, since the woman was always so stoic and reserved.
He would also tell Maggie about this, Glenn decided. This would be the first time ever he knew something like this before she did.

At the breakfast Glenn sat on Michonne's table. He was on very good mood and grinned at her wide. The woman didn't look so good, he noticed. She was obviously tired and had circles around her eyes. Also whites of her eyes were little reddish, he noted.
"Good morning. You look like you didn't sleep so well", Glenn said casually.
"I've a terrible headache and I feel kind of dizzy too. I think I must speak to Hershel about this", Michonne said quietly.
"Love hurts", Glenn hummed and winked his eye on her.
"What do you mean?" Michonne asked and knitted her brow.
"Come on. I know. I saw Bob coming from your cell last night. Love is in the air, I presume", Glenn joked.
"Please, repeat. What did you just say?" Michonne snapped.
Her face was grave.
