Hello there. This is the last chapter unless you give me your opinion on that story. I might have much more to write but only if there are readers interested. Just let me know. Thanks :)

Chapter 10

The next morning the mattress was back in the bedroom. It felt weird in a way, no more love nest in the living room, she had gotten used to it even though it was a really bad habit to get. They needed a proper room, a proper bed, hell since they had been together they had never made love in a real bed.

-« Alright » She said as she put the last cushion back on the sofa, « I think everything is in order. I hope that house will find it's new owner today, the sooner the better »
-« Yeah » Daryl said as he wrapped his arms around her waist « but don't be mad if it takes a few weeks. I know you want to get rid of it but we still need a roof. If you sell it too fast you'll have to come live with Merle and me and Andrea, part time, and I'm sure it will kill us » He laughed « And you need to visit new homes yourself »
-« True » She sighed « I was thinking… » She looked up at his face « I can ask the realtor to expand the research area, I don't mind leaving the neighborhood and it will be closer to your place, my work and yours » Hey it wasn't an offer to move in, just, it would spare them time.
Daryl run a hand along Carol's cheek gently « I won't mind, it's your house, you do what you want.»
She was so used to have to ask every time she had an idea, every time she wanted to do something, it felt good to have someone who wasn't trying to control her « True, but it will be your second house too so I want you to like it, and you can't spend your time on your bike or in your brother's truck to come see me, think of the planet, we have to spare the gas » She smiled.
-« I'll like it, you'll be in it, it's more than enough for me » He got what she meant but he didn't want to interfere in her life that much. If things went the way it should they'd maybe share a house full time - one day, maybe, yes, it was a possibility right? - but he didn't want to hurry things. Oh he was sure enough of his feelings but all this was hers, the house and all. It was a step she needed
to take to get rid of the fucker that was her ex husband, erase him for good, she had made it clear she needed it he didn't want to get in the way.
Carol smiled knowing what he was doing there, god she was lucky « I'll ask him. Alright…work…Then I'll go back here and pack a bag, I don't want to just pack now knowing they'll be strangers in my house when I'm not there. At what time do you want me to be at your place tonight? »
-« Seven sounds good. I'll cook »
-« You spoil me » She gave him a quick kiss
-« Yeah I do » He laughed « Come on let's go » He moved away from her but grabbed her hand and they left the house.

Once again she kissed him shamelessly in front of the house. Table had turned, she was happy, she had everything she wanted, it was crazy but wonderful and he was happy too she could tell, she eventually let go of him and he got on his bike and left.
