Daryl looked at the bag again and pocketed it with a shake of his head. He made his way back to the room Ann was still sleeping in. He watched her sleep for a minute or two.
'Well Ma I finally found a gal.' Daryl thought to himself. 'Only took the fucking world ending.' He smirked lightly as Ann whined in her sleep and shifted on the cot. He slipped back under the covers and pulled her closer with a sigh of content.
Ann woke up slightly when he pulled her closer and she snuffled into his neck making him blush again. She latched her arm around his waist and snuggled closer.
"Mine." She grumbled still half asleep. Daryl snickered quietly when he heard her.
"Long as ya don't pee a circle round me we're fine." He whispered mussing up her hair and she whined again.
"Yours." She sighed slightly and fell back to sleep and Daryl grinned at her.
"Yeah. Mine to." He looked at her as he said this. Then he looked over at the pants he discarded when he got back in bed. Mainly looking at the pocket holding the bag. The words from Jenners played again 'Don't screw this up.'
Ann finally woke up 15 minutes later and saw Daryl propped up on his elbow watching her.
"Morning Darlin." Daryl stated quietly brushing some of her hair from her face. "Beautiful, too good fer me." He admitted sadly and felt a kiss on his lips and smirked at Ann.
"Yer not too bad looking yerself." Ann kissed him again. She smirked and rolled over pinning him to the small bed. "So…" She grinned down at him before wiggling slightly. He whimpered and stilled her hips.
"Aw fuck!" He grumbled. "Don't start somethin ya don't intend ta finish…" He took in a shuddering breath when she looked at him with bright eyes.
"Oh but I do intend ta finish…"
Another 30 minutes passed before they decided to grab a shower.
"Uh…" Daryl ran his hand through his hair. "I ain't too skilled fer shower sex." He admitted.
"Yeah, and I'm still new at this." Ann admitted before turning on the water. "I need a shower, jus because we share it don't mean we have ta screw in it." She looked back in time to see the blush on Daryl's face.
They took their time with their first hot water shower in months. Then they started off towards the cafeteria. Ann stopped in at the REC Room and grabbed Moby Dick from the floor and put it in her bag beside Common Sense. Daryl grabbed her around her waist and they walked into the cafeteria together.
Ann felt the smirk on her face as she looked at Shane and Rick. They were both getting over the copious amounts of liquor they had consumed the night prior. Poor Glen was pretty much hanging off of the lunch table in agony.
"Rookie." Daryl snickered at the Asian kid who glared balefully at the two of them. Ann noticed T-Dog cooking up some eggs for Glen. The bigger man gave her a mischievous grin and put the plate in front of the kid. Glen groaned in dismay getting some snickering from the others.
Ann looked over at Lori who was watching her every move. Lori raised an eyebrow at her expectantly and Ann realized what the subtle expression meant. She smirked wolfishly at her sister in law and moved over to the coffee maker.
"What're ya doin?" Daryl asked quietly as Ann got out the coffee beans and put it in the grinder.
"Punishment." She saw confusion and smirked. "Just watch." Ann kissed his cheek which got a gooey expression from Jackie. "Shane…" She sang lightly. "Rick…" She beckoned the two to look over at her and they paled seeing her holding the grinder. "Who wants coffee?" She sang again which got Dale and Andrea to look at her confusedly.
Lori cleared her throat and raised her hand.
"Why yes Ann I would 'love' some coffee." She admitted loud enough to make both men wince from the volume.
"Ann don't do it…" Rick gave his sister a puppy dog expression but clenched his eyes shut when Ann hit the grind button. He moaned as a pain shot through his eyes.
"Sorry Rick what was that?" Ann asked after letting go of the button. Daryl grinned at the concept of Ann torturing deputy dipshit and idiot sheriff.
"He said don't…" Shane started to talk but the button was hit again. This time Shane laid his forehead against the tabletop with a whine. He linked his hands behind his head trying to block out the grating noise.
"Still cain't hear ya…" Ann sang again.
"Please…" Glen whined trying to process the smell of eggs and the grating sound of coffees beans getting ground.
Ann smirked and depressed the button again. This time Shane, and Rick made a grab for their heads while Glen's eyes rolled into his head. Ann let go of the button just in time to see Glen slip out of his seat onto the ground with a moan of pain. The funny thing was the three had all said something different almost at the same time.
Shane: Aw fuck
Rick: Shit come on!
Glen after he hit the floor: Where'd the table go?
The whole gang burst into hysterical laughter as Ann put the grinder down.
Edwin Jenners entered the room and noticed the laughter. He looked around until he saw Ann putting the coffee grinder down. He then looked back over to three members of the group that were in pain. He put everything together pretty fast and gave Ann an amused head shake.
"Well now ain't you jus evil." He muttered walking past her. She giggled before darting past Glen and hid behind Daryl.
"Protect me." She whimpered as Rick glared at her and Daryl snorted.
"Yer on yer own darlin." He shook his head. He smirked at her before snatching her arm and pulling her to rest on his lap again. "Ah much better." Daryl looked over at her when she snaked both arms around his shoulders. "Though we're gonna have ta talk about ya latching on like this." He grumbled into her ear.
Rick glared at Daryl hearing him say this about his sister.
"Ya weren't complaining about my ability to latch on last night." Ann rebuked and looked over hearing Dale choking on the food he was eating. Andrea was hiding a smirk behind her hand as everyone else had uncomfortable looks.
Rick glowered at the two of them but his forehead creased slightly when he noticed what Ann said had caused a pink tinge to flash across Dixon's cheeks. 'Huh. I'll be damned.' He muttered to himself.
Shane had enough and felt it was time for answers. He looked over at Jenners and stood up.
"So I think it's time we got some information." He stated simply. Jenners rolled his eyes and stood up. The others shot Shane a dubious glare. "I'm just gitting ready for whatever shoe ta drop…" The others frowned at him and Glen sighed.
"Thanks a lot Debbie Downer." He grumbled getting a snicker from Kim.
"Well if ya'll want answers, they're this way." Jenners motioned them to follow.
(AUTHOR'S NOTE) Sorry it took so long to update. My mother quit smoking which oddly enough the whole house came down ill. A filling came out of my tooth. Mom couldn't breath had to go to hospital which is why she doesn't smoke now. But since I'm better I'll try to get this story up and running more smoothly.
