Pencil Skirt.

I now know what one is and how it is suppose to fit on a well proportioned physique. I knew my mouth was hanging open and without shame I ravished her curves with my eyes. Unfucking-believable that this woman could look so good every time. I was intrigued by every angle. Something always new.

I have know idea how Michonne puts her hair up in some of the intricate ways but I have to say I am pleased no matter how she wears it. Lori never looked bad. Lori was put together but not in the same way as Michonne. I don't know it if it was because of the newness of our relationship or she was just flawless. It didn't matter if it was just sweats...she just really appealed to me. She became my preference if I suddenly had a choice.

Michonne wore the necklace I gave her along with the bracelet. The engagement ring could be spotted blocks away. She was mine. All mine.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked her as we met outside of her designated bedroom.

"Yes. How about you?"

"I wish we were sharing a room." I admitted boldly.

"Where was Granny when you were doing this wishing?" Michonne's eyebrow was raised and she had the beginning of a smile growing on the corner of her full lips.

Yes, Granny. She came to my room knocking on the door or knocking on Michonne's door with some fake reason for doing so last night after 1am. Oh, boy Granny.

"Trapped in her room," I responded back to Michonne with a kiss on her cheek, "I am going to have to have a conversation with her before we get back home, I mean it is my home if I am okay with..." I tried to reason before Michonne cut me off.

"You will not win. She is serious about the no fornication rule. She would be vexed for sure. She will curse us and..."

"Is this voodoo or Christianity we are talking about?"

Michonne swatted my arm. I love her laugh. We were standing outside our designated bedrooms in the hallway. "Don't you have some people to fire?"

"Ladies first." I wanted Michonne to walk ahead of me. I wanted to check her out. It was amazing how her ass responded to every step she took in the heels she wore. "What are you doing, Michonne?" I had to know if what she was doing on purpose or was it natural thing because I think postponing the firing could be arranged as I detoured her back to the cabin.

"Giving you a show." She glanced back at me as she headed to the front of the house.

"Where you two going?" Granny Mabel was holding Cesar the 4 pound black poodle that took a liking to her. I was shocked by this animal turn around but I had no time to engage Granny.

"I am taking Michonne to my office, Granny."

"The way you were looking at Michonne you better make sure that is where you take her and bring her right back. It is in the good book about fornicating and..."

"Granny, come look at Andre. He is driving a tractor. He wants you to come and see him. Come on Granny!" Abigail grabbed Granny's hand and we quickly vanished out the front door.

We were holding hands as I drove and I couldn't help feel the sexual tension between us. I was trying to not get so aroused by Michonne and the way our fingers were intertwining and linking, I had to thinking about something else quick.

"I was thinking about us taking a road trip with Andre to MIT."

"Rick, Andre is only six years old. There is more to a school curriculum and just because he excels in math he has to understand grammar and other core subjects are just as important. Knowing Andre he will be packed as if he is going to be dropped off to stay at MIT. "

"Here me out, There is a kid name 'Michael Kearney' who graduated high school at the age of six. I think if we have the right plan we can get Andre through high school probably by age 8."

"Where does MIT come in?"

"He's read about it. Dreamt about it. I would like to take Andre to see the campus. I know a math professor there that would love to meet Andre. If it is okay with you? We can make it a mini vacation. We can wait when all the kids have time out of school if you prefer."

"No. I think Andre would like the idea of just us three. You are going to be in charge of trying to relay to Andre that this is a visit. You will have to make it clear to him that we are only visiting. He's only visiting. If you can achieve that, then I will be ready to see the inner workings of MIT." Michonne winked at me when I turned to look at her as we sat at a red light. "We have to make sure we do something for Abby soon."

"Well her Birthday is coming up and she already supplied me with a different list which happens to be much longer than the original I must say."

"What was on the original?" Michonne was curious.

"Ask you to Marry me on her birthday."

"What?"

"Yeah. Since I asked you last night she has revised her list. Now she has our wedding all planned out. She wants it on her birthday."

"I will definitely have a conversation with Abigail."

"I don't think she understands that she can have a birthday party and fun. Her mind is set on wedding planning so if you can nudge her to think about her self, I will be forced to marry you in some fairy mermaid cartoon way and I refuse to disappoint her if I can help it at all." I squeezed Michonne's hand loving her laughter.

"So tell me something about all this firing you want to do?" Michonne asked as her hand caressed my free arm.

"All the centers are set up with a video conferencing. Are you going to be okay with that? Me introducing you to everyone?"

"I don't want to be there for the severance packages Rick and technically, I shouldn't be there, so you need to let me know when to excuse myself."

"I will. I never did this with Lori. I never talked about my relationship with Lori and I feel like I want everyone to know about you. I want to brag. I feel like I am a very lucky man."

"No luckier than me to have you in my life. I just don't want you to do something that is not what you would normally do. I know you are very private. I love that about you. So you don't have to do it." Michonne reaffirmed.

"I want too. It's just that I am so private, it affects how people respond to me and I want to change that in a way that shows here are my don't ever do." Michonne laughed and I couldn't help but look over at her and back at the highway."

"I think after this there will no longer be any misunderstandings on what you will tolerate. I stand behind whatever you want to do." Michonne squeezed my hand.

"As a future Mrs. Grimes, I want to make sure we are on the same page at all times. I will share my thoughts so you won't have to guess."

"Okay. I will share my thoughts as well so you won't have to guess. I am hoping we eventually get to the point where we are just attuned to each other."

"I would like that."
