Just so you know

Chapter 12

- Hi beautiful- he said going to the kitchen to kiss her

- Hi husband- she said without looking at him

Three weeks since they married and he still was surprised to see she was his wife. Until the last moment he thought she would run away or change her opinion. He couldn't believe he was married to her, Carol Peletier.. now, Carol Dixon. He couldn't believe she is finally his.

- You good?- he said hugging her from behind and kissing her neck

Then he noticed she had her gun next to her. He knew she carried everywhere her knife but not her gun, she said it wasn't looked at her in confusion and he turned her so he could see her face

- What's wrong? why do you have the gun in the sink?- he asked her lifting her chin

- It's nothing really- she said but he knew she was lying- It was that guy..

- The new one? Eduardo?- he asked

- No.. - she said - Captain Thomas

- That fucker? what did he do? I told Rick that man is a danger- he said

- He just came here to talk and he wanted to come in- she said looking at him- I told him I was waiting for you.. and he said it didn't matter you weren't here.. and he got closer to me. I didn't like it, he was being so.. I felt threatened. I don't know what he wants or..

- He wants to fuck you - he growled - Fucker.. How dare he? coming to my house and going for you?

- I told him to go away and he said he just wanted to talk but I didn't believe him, I told him again and he touched my cheek and said something like " I'll talk to you soon" and I promise you I got scared with that look and the way he touched my cheek- she said- and you know I don't get scared easily

He moved to her and touch her mouth gently with his fingers, she really looked scared and he knew why. She could kill walkers, she could defeat a psycopath but she was still uncomfortable around men. She would always be.

- I'm here now- he said kissing her forehead- Want me to tell the others?

- Mm.. Rick? Just to let him know in case that man does something weird in our trip

Fuck, I don't want him close to you. I don't want that fucker in our trip- he said leaning his head so their foreheads were touching.

-Don't worry pookie, I will keep you safe- she said teasing him

-No, I will- he said seriously and then he pushed her against the counter kissing her passionately

Neither of them them thought about Captain Thomas or the fact that anyone could go into their houses and see them naked and making love

…..

- What's wrong?- asked Rick

- Oh hey- said Carol- You should knock at my door, you know?

- Mm.. sorry, but I saw Daryl upset and I was worried-said Rick stealing some cookies

- He didn't tell you- she said taking another cookie and Rick looked at her confused- Mm.. it's about Captain Thomas, he came to the house and let's say he.. was glad Daryl wasn't home

- Are you kidding, right?- asked Rick- He didn't touch you, did he?

- No but he .. scared me. Just.. I don't like him and Daryl.. I hope he doesn't kill him if he had the chance- she said and she saw Rick was upset too

- We'll have to.. observe him in the trip,don't go close to him, you hear me?- said Rick

- I will slit his throat if he comes for me and you know it- she said

- I don't doubt it.. but what if you're disarmed and we're not close to you? - said Rick- If he tries anything, he won't live.. Are you going to tell Ezekiel?

- Daryl has gone to talk to him but I doubt he'll do anything, you know? Ezekiel is too good, he will say something like " The man is lonely" - she said sighing- Tell Michonne and the others, okay? to stay away from him?

- Yeah, I will- he said- I have to go.. close that door, will you?

- Mm.. okay, thanks Rick

- You're welcome, sweetheart- he said leaving the door

She stayed in the kitchen in complete silent.

And she didn't like it.

…..

- Are you still scared? - he said as they watched another film, "Sixth Sense",and she just leaned her head in his chest.

Mmm no- she said sleepy- I can defend myself, you know it..

- I fucking know- he said caressing her head. He still remembered when he saw her in mode "warrior bitch" as some of them called her. Just a few weeks after the destruction of the Sanctuary.

They were attacking Alexandria and they were so alone. Hiltop was destroyed, the Kingdom was almost destroyed too and fuck they were just a few against the Saviors and Negan.

Alexandria was on fire, he couldn't even see with all the smoke and he could hear people screaming and he knew this was the end. He was kneeling in front of one of the saviors and they were waiting for Negan. He knew his fate was to die in his hands, Lucille would take his life away. There was no way he would survive this after running away from him… but he knew at least that Carol was safe in that creepy house, he was happy to have seen her a last time. He even hugged her twice and it was so good to hold her a last time in his arms.. if only he knew it was the last time… he would have told her everything. He would have told her she was his everything

- This is your last day on Earth, Dixon- said the Savior- Negan will come in a minute to punish you andd AGHH

He looked at the savior in shock, he saw how that savior's throat was cut by a knife. A knife he knew so well.

Carol. Fucking woman…

He saw the savior fell to the floor and she was there holding the knife, she was wearing an armour and her hair and face was bloody and she was smiling at him:

- Ready to figth with me, pookie?- she asked him

- Always- he said as he stood up hugging her

Shit, he would never forget that moment. She has risen from her ashes like a phoenix and she was stronger than ever and they fought together. Thank God, they won that battle and just a few weeks later, they defeated Negan and the Sanctuary ( well, Ezekiel and her did most of the job)

- What are you thinking?- she asked him kissing his neck and looking at him

- Just.. you're so fucking incredible- he said kissing her with all the love and passion

- Mm.. someone is hard for me, right?- she said teasing him and taking his hand- Want to show me in our bedroom how incredible I am?

- God yeah- he said taking her in his arms

…..

- I hope you have a good trip tomorrow, my friends- said Ezekiel as he walked around their dinning room- I think you'll be safe enough with the men I've choosen and your friends

- If you think is safe to have that fucker with us- he growled at Ezekiel and Rick looked at him trying not to laugh

- It has always surprised me your vocabulary, hunter- said Ezekiel- Captain Thomas is just a complicated man and I'm sure your wife will be able to control him if something happens. She managed to destroy half Sanctuary- said Ezekiel laughing- Where is our lady?

- She was tired, she went to sleep soon… she wasn't feeling well- he said

- Oh I see..- said Ezekiel looking at him in a weird way- Just come back in two weeks my friends, or we'll go for you.. and don't take unnecessary risks- said Ezekiel- Night, my warriors
