WRONG NUMBER GONE RIGHT.
Daryl/OC. No Zombies. Daryl dials a wrong number by mistake one night while looking for his drunk ass brother. A girl answers and the voice on the other line does something to Daryl. It awakens something in him that he's always been able to keep buried. Lust. So begins there unusual relationship over the phone and Text's that start something neither knew would end up being the best thing that ever happened to them. Mature content. Thought I'd try something different. Don't own anything.
Daryl sighed as he looked at the clock and saw it was already mid night and his brother still wasn't home yet. Which meant he had either been arrested again or gotten caught up in some girl or a party and couldn't get home. Groaning he rolled over on the bed and grabbed his phone. He pulled a business card off his table and tried to read the numbers in the dark with his tired eyes to the bar that Merle could normally be found at. Dialing he closed his eyes and listened to it ring. It rang several times before someone finally answered.
"Hello." Came the most sensual voice he had ever heard in his life. Daryl sat up in the bed quickly, opening and shutting his mouth several times.
"Hello. Anyone there?" she ask and Daryl cleared his throat.
"Is this Murphy's Bar?" Daryl ask and the women gave a throaty chuckle.
"I'm sorry darling but I think you've dialed the wrong number." She said in a southern accent.
"Hold on. Is this 678-659-8841?" he ask and she hummed.
"Nope. It's 8844. Got the last digit wrong honey." She chuckled and Daryl groaned to himself at his stupidity.
"I'm sorry for bothering ya. Looking for my dumbass brother. Anit home yet and wanted to make sure he hadn't got his ass arrested or some shit." Daryl explained not sure why his normal verbal filter wasn't working tonight. Maybe he was too tired.
"How olds your brother?" she ask.
"35 but he seems to thinks he's 21." Daryl said snorting as he laid back on the pillow and listened to her chuckle.
"He older than you?" she ask and he hummed,
"Yeah I'm 30." He said,
"Well then you're only a year older than me. I just turned 29 in January." She said and he gave a small smile.
"I didn't wake ya or anything did I?" he ask and she snorted on the line.
"Nope. I was up. I got home from work about an hour ago. Takes me a while to go to sleep if I do." She said and then gave a small yawn and he chuckled under his breath at her.
"Yeah. I know how that is. Always been hard for me to sleep too long too. Rough life does that to ya I guess." He said.
"I feel ya there darling. 100%." She agreed.
"What's your name? If you don't mind telling me?" He ask.
"Lily. Yours?" she ask and Daryl felt a jolt though his body. Damn her name was sexy.
"Daryl." He told her and she repeated it and he groaned silently as he shifted on the bed. Damn what the hell was wrong with his ass tonight?
"Well, Daryl. It's nice to verbally meet you." She said chuckling and he laughed with her for a moment.
"Yeah It is. Even if I'm sorry for bothering you by mistake." He told her.
"Naw, don't be. It's cool. I really don't mind. You have a pleasing voice." She told him and he smirked to himself.
"And you have a very sexy voice. Never wanted to talk to anyone on the phone for more than a minute let alone a girl but there's something about yours." He admitted and hopped to hell she didn't think he was some fucking creeper.
"You're sweet. Thanks." She said and he sighed in relief.
"Is your brother the only reason you're up late or do you work nights?" she ask and he could hear her shifting around to get more comfortable and he did the same.
"No I work during the day. In a shop fixing shit like cars and stuff. My brother works there too but he went out tonight and he anit home yet." He told her and she hummed.
"Maybe he got lucky and is too busy at the moment to call you." She said with amusement in her voice and Daryl chuckled.
"That's a good possibility. My brother thinks of nothing else but his next score. He's a whore I'm telling ya." He told her and she laughed out loud and he swore no one in the world could laugh that sensual. This girl was killing him.
"Do you share in your brothers talents of daily scores or is there a women in your life that's going to be mad that you're talking to me?" she ask and he snorted.
"Naw on either. Anit got no women and I rarely go out to score as you called it. What about you. Got an old man I need to worry about?" he teased.
"Not anymore. Left his cheating ass about 8 months ago I think. It's just me now." She said chuckling and he sighed again. He saw the lights of his brother's bike filter through the curtains of their house and heard the bike roar up the driveway.
"Looks like my brother finally brought his ass home. I should probably try to get some sleep now darlin." He told her.
"Alright. Glad he made it safely. It was nice talking to ya Daryl." She told him and he nodded.
"Yeah. It was. I know this sounds like really creepy since you don't know me or nothing but ya mind if I call ya again or something, sometime?" he ask and she chuckled at his rambling.
"Sure. Call or text me whenever. I liked talking to you too. Have sweet dreams honey." She told him and he knew he would.
"You too sweetheart." He said and then hung the phone up. He laid back on the bed and listened to his brother stomp around the kitchen before heading to his room for the night. Daryl thought over the weirdness of the last hour. He dialed the wrong number and got Lily. The women with the sexy ass voice. He didn't know why but for some reason he couldn't wait to talk to her again. And for Daryl Dixon that was very weird indeed.
Lily saved the mystery man Daryl's number in her phone and slid down in the bed of her small studio apartment east of Atlanta. She hated her small apartment in a not so nice area but it was all she could afford while working part time at a bar at night and trying to finish up her automotive tech degree. She drives into the city during the day for the classes she had to be taken in shop and the online stuff she did at home. She didn't tell Daryl that but she loved working on cars. Always had. Her father had been a mechanic and taught her everything he knew before he died. She wanted to get her degree so she would be taken serious in the male dominated industry but her ex didn't think a woman should be working on cars like a man.
She would have been done with her degree a long time ago but her ex was very controlling and didn't want her working or going to college around other men. She wasted 3 years of her life with that asshole that still didn't know how to leave her alone.
She left him when she found him fucking another girl in their bed. When she flipped out and yelled at him he hit her and called her a lot of names so she packed what little things were hers and left in the car her and her father built when she was in high school. She drove for 4 hours until she reach Atlanta from where she had lived with her ex in south GA and she'd been here since then trying to get her life back together. Getting the call from Daryl was a pleasant change and she had to admit she had fun talking with the country boy and hoped he called again sometime.
The next day Daryl got home from work kinda late around 8. They had a lot of work and really needed another mechanic but good ones were hard to find in this small town so Daryl, Merle, T-Dog and the owner Tyreese worked a lot of overtime. They had tried to hire a guy name Tony but the prick spent more time trying to pick up the women that came in the shop than actually working so Tyreese let him go.
He had thought about Lily all day long completely ignoring Merle telling them all about his night with some blonde he picked up at the bar and fucked at her place while he was worried about his ass. He wanted to call her all day but didn't know what she did during the day or what her work schedule was like. Plus he didn't want to come across any more needy or creepy then he already did.
So at 10 after he showered and ate dinner he watched a little tv before deciding to send her a text to see if she was even available to talk.
Hey it's Daryl. Can you talk? He sent and waited for a reply.
Hey Daryl. I was hopeing you'd contact me today. I'm on a break right now. We can talk for a few minutes but then I'm off at 12 and if you're still up we can talk more. Lily.
Lighting a cigarette he stopped himself from smiling like a giddy girl when she replied she had been hoping he'd call and he hit the send button to call her while she was on break.
"Hey." She said and a smile found its way to his face at the sounds of her voice floating over him.
"Hey. Sorry to bother you at work." He said and he could hear the sounds of music in the background before he heard a door open and shut and the sounds disappeared. She chuckled in his ear and he heard the sound of her lighting a cigarette of her own before she replied.
"No I'm glad you did. Your voice is a good distraction from my shitty ass job." She said and he laughed at her. He saw his brother come into the living room and looked at him funny seeing him on the couch talking to someone and laughing. Daryl just flipped him off and went to his room.
"Hate ya job do ya?" he ask and she snorted.
"You got no idea babe. Nothing but a bunch of drunks and pricks all night." She said and he gritted his teeth at the thought but didn't say anything.
"Why don't ya find another one?" he ask laying back on his bed.
"Would love too but I'm almost done with school and then hopefully will get a job in a shop someone soon." She said and he sat up quickly.
"What kind of shop?" he ask her and she chuckled.
"A mechanics shop Daryl. I'm finishing my automotive tech degree that I should have finished years ago. My father was a body man. He raised me since my mom died when I was little and he taught me everything he knew. I love fixing cars and rebuilding shit. My ex, he didn't think a girl should do shit like that so I put my degree on hold like a fucking idiot. But I'm back on it again and I'll be done in less than a couple months. Then I can get out of this bar." She said and Daryl was sitting there with his mouth hanging open. Oh my god she was his fantasy women. Hot ass voice and he was sure went with a hot ass body and she worked on car. Damn.
"Damn, Ya know how fucking hot that shit is. A hot chick that works on cars. Shit." He hissed as he felt himself harden completely. Damn she was killing him.
"What makes you think I'm a hot chick?" she ask chuckling and he laughed.
"Your voice. It's sexy as hell girl. I know damn well the rest of ya is too." He said and she felt herself heat with arousal. His voice calling her sexy did something to her that nobody ever could.
"Well, thank you. If ya want to see what I look like Google Bar east (made up name.) in Atlanta and check out the photo of the staff. I'm the only Lily that works here." She said and he damn sure wrote that shit down quickly. He'd do that as soon as they got off.
"Lil's. Time's up." He heard a man yell in the back ground and Lily groaned in annoyance.
"That's my boss. Got to go. If you're still up at midnight call me. I'll be home then." She told him.
"Damn right I will." He told her and she chuckled before hanging up.
He goggled the bar as soon as he hung up and scrolled through the pictures of the staff. The owner looked like a perverted old bald man and he staffed nothing but girls besides his bouncers. Most of the girls where hot but he barley paid attention to them. He scrolled fast until he saw the name Lily and clicked on her page.
"Son of a bitch." He hissed when she came up on the screen. My god she was fucking smoking hot. Her description showed she was only 5'4 so she was a small little thing. She was wearing a black tee shirt that showed her toned stomach that had the bars name on it and like all the girls she was wearing small little black shorts. She had long dark brown hair and hazel green eyes and a smile that damn near stopped his heart. God. He had been right she was gorgeous and to think of her bent over a car working alongside him made him stone hard instantly.
He saved the picture and looked at the clock. Damn he had 2 hours till he could talk to her again and he needed to take care of his fucking hard on now so he went and took another shower and thought of her picture and her voice.
He stayed in there for 45 minutes before coming out only to have Merle meet him in the hall smirking.
"Didn't ya already shower little brother?" he ask him and Daryl rolled his eyes and went into the kitchen for a beer.
"Yeah. So?" he said as Merle followed him.
"Who was you on the phone with?" Merle ask after taking a beer for himself and popping it open. Daryl eyed him through the pieces of his hair that his brother was always telling him to cut.
"Why it matter to you man. Talking to a friend it all." Daryl said
"I female friend brother cause I hope you wasn't smiling like that with no man friend." Merle ask and Daryl rolled his eyes.
"Yeah a female friend." Daryl replied walking out of the kitchen and into his room. Merle following along with him.
"Ya hitting it baby brother?" Merle ask and Daryl snorted.
"Anit everything about sex Merle. No I'm not fucking her. Just talking. Anit even met her yet." Daryl said and Merle frowned in confusion.
"What? Someone set you up?" Merle ask and Daryl sighed.
"No. Last night when you hadn't come home yet I was gonna call up at the bar to see if you was there. Dialed the wrong number and ended up with this women. We just been talking since then." Daryl said with a shrug and started biting his thumb nail. Merle looked at him for a moment and sighed.
"Look I anit gonna rib ya for talking to no girl Daryl. I just anit ever seen ya smile like that. It was nice is all. Enjoy ya phone sex." Merle said seriously before walking out the door. Daryl rolled his eyes and glanced at the clock. 1 more hour to go. He flopped down on the bed and flicked through the channels glancing at the clock waiting till midnight so he could talk with Lily.
At 12 midnight Daryl's phone rang and he was shocked that she called him but happy still.
"Hey," he said and she chuckled.
"Hey yourself. How's your night so far?" She ask him.
"Been good. Boring but alright." He replied and she chuckled.
"Hang on a sec." she said and he heard her set the phone down, the rustle of clothes before she picked it back up.
"Ok I'm back. Had to change out of my uniform. I'm good now." She said and Daryl had the sudden flash of her changing clothes in his mind and he had to shake his head to clear it.
"Shouldn't say stuff like that girl. Not when I know what ya look like." He said in almost a growl and Lily could hear the huskiness in his voice.
"Oh so you looked at my picture. Did I look the way you thought I would?" she ask and Daryl could hear the nervousness seep in.
"Better." Daryl croaked out and she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Really? Well thank you." She told him and he chuckled.
"Your fucking gorgeous ya know." He told her and she chuckled.
"No I don't know but I'm pleased you think so. I was worried after I told you where to look that you wouldn't like what ya saw." She admitted and Daryl grunted.
"Well I can promise you I like what I saw. Best looking girl I ever saw." He admitted the truth and he knew his face was bright red. He was never this forward with girls while sober or drunk for that matter.
"Well. Thank you. When do I get to see what you look like?" she ask and he paused for a moment.
"Not sure you wanna. Anit no prize like you are sweetheart." He told her and she sighed.
"Look. No one looks in the mirror and sees anything good. I don't see what you see when you saw my picture but I'd like to see the face I'm talking to. You could text it to me. When you're ready. No pressure. And if your voice is anything to go by then I'm sure I'll like your picture too." She told him and he blew out the air he didn't know he was holding and sighed.
"Ok. I'll send ya one." He conceded and she was pleased.
"Yay. So your brother out late again tonight?" she ask and he was glad for the change in subject.
"Naw. He's home tonight. You were right. Met some chick last night and came home after. The dumb ass is gonna caught something one day." He told her and she laughed. It was nice to have someone that laughed with him and not at him for once.
"So you're a female mechanic huh?" he ask smirking and she snorted at him.
"Just cause I shave my legs and not my face don't mean I can't fix shit too ya know." She huffed and he laughed out loud at her and he knew his brother was probably wondering what was wrong with him but he didn't give two shits.
"I'm just messing with ya darlin. I think it's hot." He told her and she chuckled.
"Really. So would ya hire me if I came looking for a job at ya shop?" she ask him.
"Hell yeah. We need another person too. To damn busy for just the four of us." He said.
"Well then maybe one day I can apply for a job and I'll work circles around you men." She teased and he laughed again.
They talked for 2 hours that night and even through Daryl was tired as hell the next morning he didn't care. He was happier than he ever could remember being.
"What's with you D? Get some last night?" Tdog ask at work the next day and he just shook his head.
"Naw, he got himself a girlfriend. Talk to her all night on the phone." Merle said from under the car and Daryl just rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah. What's her name?" T dog ask and Daryl just lit a cigarette and looked down at the motor.
"Lily." Daryl replied and then ignored all there other questions.
Hey. Heading to school wanted to wish you a good day. Lily.
He got her text around 10 that morning and nothing could have put him in a bad mood that day. Merle just kept shaking his head whenever he would see his brother smiling when he thought no one was looking. Merle may be an ass but his brother meant everything to him and if this girl put that smile on his face then Merle would do what he could to make sure it stayed there.
Thanks sweetheart. Just made my day better. Talk to you tonight? Daryl.
Yep. Look forward to it. Don't forget my picture. Lily Daryl bit his lip reading that and flicked through the pictures in his phone. He knew he'd have to send her one he just hoped it wouldn't mean the end of their talking. He found one that Carol, Tyreese wife took of him one day about a month ago when she was walking around trying out her knew phone. They had just got to work and Daryl was still sitting on his bike smoking. He didn't look half bad in it so he copied it to his text.
Here ya go. Hope ya like it. Daryl. He sent it and lit a cigarette hoping she would reply. When his phone buzzed he got nervous as he hit the open button to read her reply.
Damn babe. Love me a country boy on a bike. Is it too crude of me to say I need a new pair of panties now? Lol Lily. Daryl snorted in relief at her reply. He wasn't sure if she was telling the truth but from the few talks they had she didn't seem like the lying type so he just hoped she meant it.
Glad you like it. Talk to you later. Daryl
He got back to work then before someone said something to him and thought of nothing but the girl that was starting to consume his every thought.
They talked every night for a couple of weeks getting to know each other slowly. Some nights they just talked about their day and shit that happened. He would vent to her about the idiots he worked with at the shop or stupid shit his brother did.
She would vent about her boss who was an ass or the customers she had to deal with. She talked about school and the things they did that day during her shop time. She told him about her father who died 4 years ago. How her mother died when she was younger by a drunk driver and how her father never remarried. Always telling her that when you find the one you're meant to be with forever you don't ever consider anyone else if that person should leave you. He knew her father had been a good man. Like his grandfather Norman had been. She told him about her father teaching her how to fix cars and shit. And he told her about his grandfather who left him and Merle the house they lived in now. But that he hoped to build another separate house one day so he could live alone but still near his brother.
She never judged him on anything he told her. When he told her about the fights he got into or the shit him and his brother had done growing up she never once made him feel like he did anything wrong. Always just listened to him and it was nice.
She told him more about her ex and Daryl really wanted to meet this prick. She told him about how her father hated him. Always told her he wasn't the kind of man he wanted her to end up with. She said she needed a hard working man that would do anything to keep her safe and happy and that her ex only cared about himself.
She told him about how she always kept her ex at arm's length because her father hated him. Never would move in with him like he wanted. When her father died it messed her up for a while and her ex took advantage of that and that's how she ended up living with him until she found him cheating and that was something she couldn't forgive, not to mention he had laid hands on her too and Daryl couldn't stand a man that would hit a women.
All in all he looked forward to their calls. He couldn't imagine how he would feel if they just stopped talking. She was the light to his darkness and he wasn't about to give that up.
Check this out. I aced my painting assignment. Lily He got the text when he was on lunch break at work. He opened the attachment to see a picture of Lily dressed in shop paints and tee shirt standing next to a bad ass black with red flamed paint job. The car looked great but all he was checking out was how hot she was and proud she looked standing next to the first car she ever painted.
"Damn D. Who is that?" T dog ask from over his shoulder. He had been so engrossed with the picture he didn't even hear him come over. This got Merle's attention and he walked over and looked and whistled through his teeth.
"Is that ya girl?" Merle ask taking the phone to get a better look. Daryl growled and snatched his phone back.
"Yes." He answered and Merle looked at him shocked.
"Damn. Didn't know she was that fine and is that her car in the back ground?" Merle ask looked again and Daryl shook his head and smirked.
"Nope. She's about to finish school for auto tech. That's the car she just painted and aced it." Daryl said and that got all their attention even Ty who had been ignoring there little spat. They all passed around his phone and whistled at not only his girl but the paint job on the car.
"Damn. I'd hire her. When does she graduate?" Ty ask handing the phone back and Daryl shrugged.
"Month or two I think." He said and Tyreese nodded.
"Well, shit tell her if she wants to live in the sticks hit me up." He said before walking back to his office to eat lunch with Carol.
"Let me get this straight. Your girl looks like that and wants to work on cars for a living and you found her on accident by dialing the wrong number. Damn I need to give that shit a try." Merle said before walking off in awe and Daryl felt smug for the first time. Even though she really wasn't his girlfriend he still considered her his girl and it was nice to see his brother jealous of him for once.
Damn baby you did a good job of that. My boss said he'd hire ya in a heartbeat. Look good in ya work clothes too. Daryl. He told her and she replied quickly.
Thank you. Talk later? Lily
Yep. Daryl.
"So you didn't want to go out to celebrate for passing your painting test?" Daryl ask her that night when he called her. It was only 10 and she didn't have to work but she had a few other online test to do so they agreed to talk at 10.
"No. Anit no fun drinking by yourself." She told him chuckling.
"No friends you could have called?" he ask and she snorted.
"No. The only people I talk to other than you is people I work with and I only speak the bare minimum to them and my professors at school." She said and he felt kinda bad she didn't have anyone. He had a few people he considered friends here but she was the one he wanted to talk to all the time.
"So tell me about where you live? I never have asked. I can tell by the phone number you're in GA but are you south of Atlanta, north or by the coast?" she ask and he smiled at how she genuinely wanted to know more about him.
"North of the city in the mountains. Blue Ridge." He told her thinking about his small back woods town.
"Oh wow. I love Blue ridge area. My father took me camping there when I was 12 I think. At the lake. It was so pretty. Always wanted to live in the mountains." She said.
"Well, maybe you should come visit some time." He said and she hummed.
"Yeah. Maybe I should." She said and he was about to say something to that when he heard a loud bang in the back ground and she screamed in shock. He sat up in bed alarmed now.
"Lil's what was that?" he ask as she tried to calm her nervous.
"Someone's at the door. Hold on." She said and he heard her open a drawer and the click of a gun. He didn't like this one bit.
"Lily. Please don't open that door sweetheart." He said pacing back and forth in his room. She was silent for a moment until he heard the banding again and then yelling outside the door.
"Lilly. Open this fucking door. I know you're in there I can see your fucking car out front." He heard and Daryl clenched his fist in anger whishing he was there to beat the shit out of whoever that was. Lily groaned in annoyance on the line.
"It's my ex. I'm going to try and get rid of him. Hold on a sec or I can call you back." She told him and he growled.
"Anit no fucking way I'm getting off this phone while you might me in danger." He told her and she sat the phone down and he listened carefully.
"Lily." The guy screamed.
"Trent. What the hell are you doing here?" he heard her call out and Daryl was happy that at least she hadn't opened the door to talk to him.
"We need to talk. This has gone on long enough. Now stop acting childish and open the door." He told her and Lily glared through the peep hole at his ass. Now that she looked at him with eyes wide open and compares him to Daryl's picture Trent was nowhere near as hot as Daryl.
"Look Trenton. I said all I need to say the night I found you screwing some whore in our bed. Fuck you. I'm done. Get back in your Lexus and go back to South Georgia." She spat and Daryl heard the man bang on the door with his fist.
"Damn it open up Lily. That night was a mistake we can work this shit out." he said and Lily snorted.
"I don't think so. There are things that even I cannot forgive someone for Trent. Hitting me and cheating on me are at the top of the list. You don't get a second chance with me on those two counts. Now leave." She said and Daryl could hear how serious she was. That was something he knew if he wanted her in more than just a talking friend he would have to agree with and he had no issues with that.
Hell he hadn't even looked at another girl since they started talking. He didn't believe in cheating or beating women. His father did both of those to his mom and he watched her die alittle each time and Daryl promised to never do that to anyone.
"Damn it Lily. Open the fucking door before I break it down." Her Ex spat and Daryl growled into the phone in anger. This guys was asking for it.
"Knock yourself out asshole. I have a gun and my cell phone in my hand. I will shoot your ass and then call the cops don't play with me Trent. Go home I want absolutely nothing to do with you. I need a real man, like my father always wanted me to have not some pampered, rich prick that doesn't know how to treat a lady. Leave or I'm going to shoot through this fucking door." She spat and Daryl smirked at his feisty kitten. Damn she had claws.
"Fine bitch. I never liked your ass anyways. Rather act like some man in a fucking shop then what a woman should be. Go and find you a loser like you daddy." He spat with venom, punching the door before walking off.
Lily slid to the floor and listen to him start his car and sped off down the road. She sat there on the floor and cried. She had truly been scared. The look in his eye made her shiver in fear. If he had not have left there was no doubt this night would have ended bad for her.
Daryl's heart clenched as he listen to her break down. He wished more than anything he knew where she lived or he'd be on his way right now.
He heard her pick up the phone before taking a deep breath.
"Daryl. I think I'm going to go ahead and go now. I'm tired now and just want to go to bed." She said sniffing and he knew she was hurt more than she was letting on.
"Alright sweetheart. I'll talk to you tomorrow. You handled yourself well. Call me if he comes back." He told her and she thanked him and hung up. She was embarrassed he knew that. Probably didn't want him to hear any of that and he hoped like hell she would be ok.
Daryl didn't sleep at all that night and Merle could tell something was wrong with his little brother when they were in the kitchen making coffee for work. Daryl was frowning, glaring at nothing and he looked tired as hell.
"Have a fight with your flower last night?" Merle ask and Daryl shot him a look.
"No." Daryl replied and Merle sighed. Something had happened.
"What happened little brother. You've been nothing but sunshine's and fucking ponies for the last few weeks and now your pissed and look like you haven't slept at all." Merle said and Daryl sighed, rubbed his hands over his face before pulling out a cigarette and lighting it.
"Something happened last night while we was talking. He ex showed up trying to beat the door down. I had to listen to them fight through the door. He said some pretty mean stuff and she felt scared enough to threaten to shoot him when he said he was going to bust down the door. She cried after he finally left and then told me she was going to bed. Didn't sleep much after that." Daryl explained with a shrug and Merle watched him as he talked.
"You got it bad little brother." He said turning to turn off the coffee pot.
"Maybe I do." Daryl replied and Merle looked at him sideways.
"Maybe you too should meet and move this thing from talking on the phone to something else. You can't keep freaking out and not be able to do nothing about it when you don't even know where she lives." Merle suggested and Daryl just nodded. He had been thinking that too.
Are you ok today? Daryl He texted around lunch. She hadn't sent him anything yet and he was damn near about to chew his thumb off worrying. He just wanted to load this crossbow up and hunt that fucker down.
Yeah I'm ok. Just freaked me out last night and then I hated you had to hear that. I got baggage and I understand if you don't want to talk with me no more. Lily. She replied and he stared at the phone like she was crazy.
Sweetheart. Anit no crazy ex gonna stop me from talking to ya. He don't mean shit to me and if I knew where you lived I would have been there last night and he wouldn't have bothered you again once I was done with him. Daryl. He assured her. She was nuts if she thought anything would stop him from talking to her. In his mind she was his.
Thank you. I was worried it would be too much. I…I like you a lot Daryl. More than I thought I would. I don't want to lose you. Lily. She admitted and Daryl excused himself for a break and went outside to smoke. He needed to talk with her more after that.
"Is D ok?" T dog ask Merle who just shrugged.
"Worried about his girl I think. He was on the phone with her when her Ex showed up and scared her." Merle explained and T Dog nodded in understanding.
Anit nothing gonna make you lose me other than you telling me to never call ya again and even then I don't know if I could stop. I consider you mine even if we anit official or anything. Daryl
I have to admit I call you mine too. I just didn't want to say anything. I knew you said you never had girlfriends before and I don't want to be just a one night stand or fling for you. You mean too much to me for that. Lily
I don't want that either. Your right I've never had no girl friend. Never met a girl I wanted to keep around until now. Daryl
What does that mean? Lily
Mean your mine and I'm yours. I want to move our relationship past just phone calls. I want to meet ya. Spend time with ya. If you want. Daryl
I want that too. I was just too scared to bring it up. I just don't want to be hurt the way I was before. I'm scared. Lily
I would never hurt ya like that. I might not be good enough for ya but I damn well will treat ya right. Hell, I'm scared too. Daryl.
Ok. Let's meet then. Lily
When? Daryl
4th of July is this weekend. We have a few days out from class. I think I can swing time off at work since I've never taken a day off and I know a few girls that want to extra hours and money. Want me to drive to you and spend the long weekend together? Lily Daryl felt fucking butterflies in this stomach at the thought and couldn't wait to see her.
Yeah Darlin. That sounds real good. We'll talk more tonight. I can't wait to see you. Daryl
Me too. I'm fucking nervous as hell though. Lily
Me too baby. Have a good day. Daryl
You too. Lily
Daryl breathed a deep breath as he smoked to calm his nerves. She wanted to be his girl. She was his girl and hell who was he kidding she already owned his ass. And she was coming up to stay with him a few days. Damn he needed to clean the fucking house.
"Carol I need a favor." Daryl ask her that evening when they closed up. She turned to look at him and raised a brow.
"What?" she ask. She liked Daryl. He was like her brother. Him and Merle both. They had helped her get Ed off her back and help keep Ed away from Sophia when she finally ran with her to Ty's house. She owed the Dixon brothers a lot.
"I got my girl coming over this weekend for a visit. I, I need to get my house in order. It's pig sty." He admitted blushing bright red and she chuckled at him.
"I'll come by tonight and help you clean it up and make it look nice for you girl. What's her name?" Carol ask and Daryl smiled the first smiled Carol ever seen on his face.
"Lily." He told her and she nodded and agreed to meet him at their place around 6.
When Merle showed up at 9 Carol and Daryl where almost done cleaning the house. All the rooms where spotless except Merle's room and neither of them dared to open that door. He was the reason the rest of the house looked like shit.
"What's Carol doing here?" Merle ask Daryl as he tied up another bag of trash.
"Helped me clean the place up." Daryl said as Carol walked by and told them both bye. Daryl walked her out and thanked her before walking back inside to Merle still standing there gapping at him in shock.
"Why?" Merle ask and Daryl rolled his eyes.
"Lily's is coming this weekend. Were spending the long weekend together. I couldn't have her come here with the house looking and smelling like it did. So don't mess it back up Merle and while she's here don't fuck this up for me." Daryl said pointing his finger at his brother. Merle snorted and smirked before walking towards this room.
"I'll be on my best behavior baby brother. Sides I got me a new girl I'm trying to land anyways. I'll be busy." Merle called back and Daryl rolled his eyes not wanting to hear anything about this brother's love life.
"Had any more problems today?" Daryl ask her when they got on the phone that night. It was around midnight again.
"No. Haven't heard anything. He tried to call me a few times last night and once this morning but I blocked his number once I got someone to show me how on this phone." She told him and he sighed in relief. He had been worried about her today.
"I got the house cleaned and ready. My brother's a pig and he had the place messy as hell. Got Carol my boss's wife to help." Daryl admitted and she chuckled at him.
"You didn't have to do that for me Daryl. I don't care if you live in your car I just want to meet you in person. Be able to touch you and see you." she said and he shuddered at the thought of her doing more than just touching him.
"Me too sweetheart. Been thinking of nothing else for weeks now." He told her and she hummed in agreement.
"Really. What kind of things have you been thinking?" she ask and he blushed bright red and cleared his throat.
"Things I probably shouldn't have." He admitted and she chuckled.
"We must be thinking the same type things then. Embarrassing, lusty thoughts?" she told him and he groaned as need shot through him.
"Yeah. Those type things." He replied huskily and Lily had to clench her thighs together.
"You have no idea what your voice does to me when you say things like that." She admitted a little breathlessly and Daryl groaned louder.
"Shouldn't say those things to me baby girl." He told her blowing the smoke out of his mouth loudly.
"Really. So if I were to say tell you that I dream of your strong hands running over my body while I grip onto those fantastic arms of yours. You wouldn't want to hear that?" she ask and Daryl was rock hard and cursed.
"Fuck girl. Really? You dream about me sweetheart?" he ask voice blown wide with lust as his body heated all over and she moaned into the phone and he thought he'd explode right then. Her sexy voice in a moan was going to kill him.
"Yep. Every night since you sent me the picture. They get naughtier and naughtier each night." She admitted and Daryl had to squeeze himself through his pants to ease the tension.
"Yeah. Ya wake up hot for me baby?" he ask and had no fucking clue where this boldness was coming from. Lily woke up things in him he didn't know existed.
"Oh yeah. Have to touch myself every morning or I wouldn't be able to focus." She breathed into the phone and Daryl damn near bit thought his lip to stop from moaning.
"Shit girl. When ya coming up here?" he panted.
"Two days baby. I'll drive up Friday afternoon. May not get there till dark." She said and he groaned.
"Can't fucking wait." He told her.
"Me too." She replied and he hung up soon after that. He laid in his bed willing his erection away but no use. All he kept thinking about was what she told him. Her dreaming about him and touching herself and that fucking moan. God damn.
Sighing he slide his hand into his shorts and thought about her while he stroked himself. He ran his thumb over the head thinking over her doing this to him, maybe even with her tongue. It didn't take long before he was biting his fist to silence his moan as he exploded all over himself. Yep he needed another shower.
"You knocking off early today brother?" Merle ask Daryl as he looked down at him through the engine of the car they were working on. Daryl was underneath it.
"Naw. Why?" Daryl ask and Merle snorted.
"Your women is coming up today right?" Merle ask and Daryl grunted.
"Yeah. But she anit gonna be here to later. I got time to work." Daryl said and Merle just nodded as he handed Daryl the wench he ask for. Daryl knew this day was going to fucking drag ass.
Lily was bursting with anticipation. She wanted to see Daryl so bad. She couldn't wait till tonight. She went in for her lunch time shift and talked to her boss. He agreed she could go ahead and go since he had several girls that ask for overtime this weekend. Lily knew she'd be missing out on good tips since it was a party weekend but she didn't care. She had to see Daryl or she might die.
She packed her clothes and anything she thought she might need including a whole box of condoms because damn it she was getting laid by her fine ass man this weekend. Locking up her apartment she pulled out and headed north on 75 with the music blaring and windows down. She was excited.
He had told her to meet him at his house because he would be home by the time she was set to be there but since she was early she goggled the shop he told her he worked at and headed that way instead. Hoping to catch him before he left.
Daryl was still under the car when he heard all the guys in the shop whistled and stop working.
"Holy shit." His brother said and Daryl rolled his eyes as he heard a car door shut and he rolled out from under the car to see what the hell was going on.
When Daryl whipped his face and hands with his rag and looked up his heart damn near stopped.
Walking towards him in the flesh was his Lily wearing a big ass smile on her beautiful face.
Daryl shot to his feet quickly and walked towards her. He met her only a few feet from her car before picking her up to wrap her legs around his waist and pulled her into their first kiss.
It was filled for so much heat and passion that Daryl almost fell to his knees. The guys in the background where cat calling at them and clapping but Daryl ignored it all as Lily nipped his bottom lip and dueled her tongue with his as her nails bit into his bare arms.
Lily moaned when he picked her up in a show of his natural strength. He kissed her deeply and it was almost like she couldn't get enough.
When they had to breathe Daryl pulled back and held her face in his large hands just looking her over.
"Your early." he said smirking and she shrugged.
"Couldn't wait any longer." She told him and he nodded before kissing her again before letting her slide back to the ground.
"I think we have an audience." She whispered to him. He looked over his shoulder to see the whole shop was watching him and his brother was smirking at him. Daryl rolled his eyes and flipped them off.
"Follow me home." He told her and she nodded and jogged back to her car. She took a calming breath as she watched him go inside the shop grab some leather vest that had wings on the back and head towards his bike. She waved at the guys that were standing there slack jawed as she pulled out behind the bike.
She followed those angel wings all the way towards his house. He lived back in the woods in a cabin and when she opened the door she could hear a river nearby. She loved it.
Daryl met her by her car as she popped the trunk and he reached in a grabbed her bag like the southern gentleman he was and grabbed her hand and pulled her gently inside. He was damn near giddy that she was hear and early too. He couldn't believe it. She was just as excited as he was.
He walked towards his bedroom and dropped her bag inside and turned to give her the grand tour when he was shoved into the wall and her body covered his. Her mouth hungry against his.
Damn he had planned to take this slow not sure if she was ready for anything more than just meeting but it seemed she had other plans and that was just fine for him.
Grabbing the back of her head with one hand and the other ran down her side gripped her leg and pulled it up against him. She moaned as he was now flush against her. Lily had never acted like this but she also had never felt like this before. There weeks of talking and getting to know each other and the sexual tension that built was too much for her and she needed him. Now.
He felt her hands working the buttons on his shirt and he froze. Pulling back Lily looked at him confused and he looked down.
"Um. I never take my shirt off." he told her and she frowned.
"Why?" she ask honestly and he sighed.
"My father use to beat us. I got lots of scars on my back." He mumbled and she moved to finish taking off his shirt again. He let her ashamed as she slide the work shirt down his arms and let it fall to the floor. Lily's mouth watered at the sight on his toned chest and abs and she pulled him away from the wall enough to walk around him in a circle. He waited tense as he felt her fingers lovingly across his scars. He held still and let her look. He'd never let anyone see let alone touch his scars but for her he'd endure it. She placed several kisses along his back before walking back in front of him.
"You're gorgeous to me Daryl. Your scars only prove you're strong and a survivor. Makes me feel like you'll keep me safe." She whispered in his ear and he gasp as his eyes snapped to look at her. He was nothing but honestly and lust and he lost control then. Being accepted completely by this sexy women broke the damn he had built inside of him. But only for her would he let go.
Picking her up he walked her towards his bed kicking the door shut as he went and laid her on it. She reached up and pulled off her shirt and bra quickly and Daryl groaned when he looked at her. She was perfect.
Leaning down he grazed his nose over her neck taking in her smell. She didn't have on any perfume or spray her smell was all natural and he smelt like vanilla and flowers.
He kissed and nipped at her neck, moving down to her chest taking one nipple between his teeth and sucking hard. She arched her back off the bed, gripped his hair in her hands and moaned his name. He shuddered as her sensual voice washed over him with passion.
He treated the other the same before moving down her stomach kissing and swirling his tongue around her belly button.
"Daryl please. Damn." She moaned and he smirked up at her as he un did her shorts and pulled them and her panties off her body, tossing them on his floor. He gazed at her naked on his bed, not believe she was really here.
Daryl's work pants were extremely uncomfortable now so he got rid of them and his boxers before parting her legs with his hands, sliding them down her thighs, kissing and nipping at her skin.
Bending forward he had to taste her, had to hear her call his name again. The first lick of her sex exploded the best taste he ever tasted on his tongue and he was addicted to her now.
"Fucking hell." She yelled and gripped his hair hard pulling him towards her as she grinded against his mouth. He chuckled and held her down as he assaulted her, making her scream out in pleasure in that damn voice as he drank her down until she couldn't take anymore.
Kissing back up his body he watched as she panted and caressed his hair that she pulled before opening her stunning eyes and smiling at him.
"Damn." She said and he chuckled. Reaching forward he grabbed a condom and she took it from him, stroking him some making his head fall back with a hiss as she rolled it on.
Opening his eyes he knew the pupils were blow wide open right now. He had never in all his life been so turned on or wanted a woman so much as his Lily.
"Ya sure sweetheart. We do this and your mine baby." He ask one last time and she chuckled.
"I've already yours and your mine stud." She told him and used her legs to pull him towards her and he groaned loudly as he sank into her warm and wet depths.
"Son of a bitch." He hissed in pleasure. Damn no one ever felt this good or tight before and he knew he was ruined for anyone else. He belonged to her.
"Move baby." She whispered as she wrapped around him. Sitting back he brought her into his lap and wrapped her legs around his waist as they moved together, kissing and touching the entire time.
Looking into her eyes as they climaxed together he knew he was in love with her and always would be. And she was thinking the same exact things.
Daryl never cuddled after sex before ever but as he laid in his bed staring at the ceiling with Lily snuggled into his chest, his hand playing with her hair and running up and down her back he could het use to this.
They laid in bed for a while after just enjoying each other's touch. When he looked down and saw she was biting her lip like she wanted to say something he tilted her face up to look at him.
"What is it?" he ask and she blushed before looking away from his eyes.
"You don't think I'm a whore or anything do you?" she ask biting her lip again and Daryl frowned at her.
"The hell. Hell no. Why would you think I would?" he ask and she shrugged.
"Because I attacked you before you could even give me a tour of your house like a whore. I didn't even stop to ask if you wanted me like that yet or not." She said and Daryl snorted as he pulled her into his arms tighter.
"I would never think that of you Lil's. I wanted you just as bad trust me. I don't do things I don't want to. The tension that had been building between us over the phone was bound to explode when he met. I'm just glad we made it to the house first." He said and she chuckled and relaxed. Glad she didn't make a bad impression on him with their first meeting.
"I need a shower. Want to join me?" he ask smirking and she nodded and squealed when he picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. They made love slower this time in the shower and Daryl knew that he would never; ever no matter how many times he had her would be ever get enough.
When Merle came home after closing time he chuckled at the mushy sight of his brother and his brother's girl sitting outside under the big tree. She was in his lap and they were making out like no one was around. He shook his head as he walked towards them to meet this girl that had completely changed his brother's life.
"Hey baby brother." Merle called and Daryl groaned as he pulled away from Lily' lips. She giggled and hid her face in his chest before moving off his lap but Daryl held her still. He was not in any state for her to move from him right now and let Merle see him aroused.
"Merle." Daryl said nodding to him. Merle came closer and looked Lily over from her spot in his brothers lap. He had to admit she was one of the finest little pieces he'd ever seen. His brother couldn't have done better.
"Hey there little sugar. I'm Merle." He said and Lily reached forward and shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you Merle." She told him and he smirked at her giving an obvious leer that had Daryl growling.
"Watch it asshole." Daryl told him and Merle just laughed and rolled his eyes.
"Ty and Carol are having a cook out tonight. Told me to tell you and I quote from Carol. You better bring your ass and your girl down to meet her after she spent hours of her free time cleaning up you pig sty." Merle said and Daryl rolled his eyes but nodded.
"What time?" Daryl ask and Merle looked at his watched.
"Bout an hour. Think you can get yourself under control and off her in that time?" Merle ask walking away. Lily chuckled and spun around on Daryl's lap.
"Let's see if we can make it in time." She said and Daryl moaned as she grinded against him. He had an hour. Best make good use of it.
The cook out didn't have a lot of people. And Daryl was sure it wouldn't be the only one of the weekend. Carol and Tyreese had invited most everyone from their small group and Daryl was glad there wasn't really anyone he didn't like there. All except when Andrea showed up with Karen the little leech that had been after all the single guys especially Daryl and he groaned in horror. Lily heard him as she slide off his bike and looked over at him lighting a cigarette.
"What's wrong?" she ask and Daryl pointed to the dark curly hair brunette that was standing next to a blonde women.
"That harpy over there is Karen. Tried sticking her claws in all the men around here. She's been after me for a while now and I can't stand the bitch." Daryl told her and Lily snickered.
"Never slept with her?" Lily ask and Daryl snorted in disgust.
"Nope. Merle has. Don't like my brothers left over's. Shell start something I'm sure." Daryl told her as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders, pulling her tightly against him and walked with her over towards the group. Lily could feel all eyes on her as she walked with Daryl, especially Karen's but she didn't give two shits.
"Daryl she's georgeous. Wow." Carol told him and Daryl nodded.
"I know. Everyone this is Lily my girlfriend. Lil's this is everyone." Daryl said and she waved at them. Daryl introduced her individually to the important people and left out the ones he didn't really care for. He was shocked to shit when his brother showed up with Beth. Hershel's young daughter of 21 but she looked smitten and Merle didn't let go of her the whole night. Maybe his brother was turning over a new leaf.
Lily had a great time. She met Daryl's boss Tyreese and his wife Carol and Carol's daughter Sophia. She met Merle's girlfriend Beth and cute young blonde that was all smiles. T-Dog was the other black male that Daryl worked with and his girlfriend Sasha who was Tyreese's sister. She met Michonne and Andrea who where lesbian's and lawyers together and they had brought their friend Karen who wasn't a be hit with really anyone there. Carol had invited her old friend Lori Grimes and her husband the chief of police Rick and their son who Sophia was friends with Carl. Lily could tell Carl and Sophia liked each other but were at that awkward stage where they didn't know it yet. She told Carol and Lori about it and they chuckled.
"Oh we know. We're just waiting for them to get a little older and Carl to ask her out. Ty is going to flip." Carol laughed and Lori grinned and nodded.
"Where's Shane Rick?" Karen walked up and ask and Rick frowned and sighed.
"Shane and I are not speaking right now and we had to fire him from the force. His mind is not all there these days." Rick told her and she huffed and turned towards Lily and Daryl tensed where he stood not too far away watching Lily as Karen glared her down.
"Do your Daryl's new fling?" Karen sneered and Carol, Lori and Rick all gapped wide mouthed at Karen's mouth but Lily just chuckled.
"Nope I'm Daryl girlfriend. I'm here to stay honey." Lily told her and Daryl smirked damn right she was.
"If you say so. You and that little blonde think you can tame the Dixon brothers your nuts. I've been trying to get Daryl for a while but he hadn't took the bait yet." She sneered and Lily laughed at loud.
"From what I hear Daryl doesn't want his brothers sloppy seconds. Pretty said when a women spreads her legs for everyone in the family. Not very lady like." Lily said and Karen turned red in anger and Lily saw her reach back and go to slap her. Daryl saw it too and made his way over and was able to caught Karen's wrist in his in a hard grip. Everyone tensed then to watch and Rick was ready to stop a fight should it start.
"Don't fucking think about touching my women bitch. You don't want to go there with me." Daryl told her darkly. Karen paled and nodded and Daryl tossed her wrist back and pulled Lily towards him and walked her back over towards his brother. Lily just waved back and smirked at a pissed Karen who stomped towards her car and left.
"Told ya." Daryl said and Lily nodded.
"Should have just let me hit the bitch." Lily told him and he shook his head and laughed.
All in all the cook out was a blast. Lily felt really at home there and everyone besides Karen was pleased to meet her, Daryl was glad that his friends like his girl.
There long weekend wasn't that long at all. It went by too damn fast. Daryl took her hunting with him on Saturday and was able to get a deer right in front of her. Made him feel like a man to hunt food for his women.
They went around town on Sunday so she could see it and she talked with Tyreese more about maybe working for him when she's done with school. Daryl couldn't keep the damn smile off his face after that.
Monday was a sad day though. She had to leave and head back home. She had to work that night and school in the morning. Lily couldn't stop crying as she stood by her car kissing Daryl like it was there last time. He was teary too but didn't want to seem weak when she need him to be strong. He felt physically ill letting her go home. He had pains in his chest and his throat felt tight. He'd never felt these emotions before and he damn near didn't let her go.
"No more tears sweetheart. I'll talk to you tonight just like normal and well make plans to see each other again soon. I anit letting ya go for nothing now that I got ya." He told her and she nodded, tears just falling down her face as she kissed him again.
"I hate this." She said and he nodded.
"Me too baby. Me too." He told her.
"I love you Daryl. Even if it's too early I know its true." She whispered and he did choke back tears then.
"I love ya too baby. Never said that to a women before." He told her and she smiled before kissing him again and getting into her car before she demanded he take her back inside and lock the doors. He waved bye and stayed outside until he couldn't see her car anymore.
Merle watched from his window as she brother watched her leave; he massaged his chest before grabbing his crossbow and stomping into the woods. He could see the tears on his cheeks that he let fall and Merle was at a loss on what to do for him. He hated to see him this upset. Merle decided to go see if Beth had any ideas.
Lily cried the whole way home and she was miserable during her shift. She snapped at everyone but she didn't care. She missed Daryl and hated being away from him.
The sadness didn't go away during the days that followed. Daryl was only barley happy at work and they still talked every night and text during the day but now that he knew what it was like to hold her he couldn't go back to the way they were.
He wanted to with him permanently but he knew she needed to finish her last few weeks of school and hell who's to say she even wanted to move up there with him. She loved him but maybe not enough to change her life.
2 weeks after her visit to north Georgia Daryl couldn't take it anymore. He needed to see her so as soon as he was done working Friday he showered and packed a small bag and headed for the city. She didn't even know he was coming and he hoped she'd be ok with a pop up visit.
He didn't know where she lived but he knew where she worked and knew she was working that night. So he pulled his bike up to the bar and headed inside.
"Hey, just 1 tonight honey?" a blonde women at the door ask him. He nodded looking around.
"Lily's section please." He told her and she nodded and led him over towards the right. He sat and waited looking around. Several of the girls were eyeing him up but he ignored them. When Lily came out of the kitchen carrying a tray of food he felt so much better.
She sat the food at the table three down from him before heading over. When she saw it was him her whole face lit up and she walked over quickly and wrapped him in a hug. He held onto her tightly as he breathed in her scent finally relaxing.
"What are you doing here?" she ask pulling back. He wiped the tears from her eyes and kissed her lips quickly.
"Couldn't stand it anymore. Had to see you." he said and she nodded.
"I'm so happy to see you. Is it just for the night?" she ask and he shook his head.
"No. Till Sunday. I know you have to work and that's fine I just had to be with you." he said and she nodded before kissing him again and walking away to bring him a beer.
He sipped his beer for the last hour of her shift watching her walk back and forth in that little ass outfit. She would glance at him often and smile at him and he would smirk back at her. He knew his eyes help fire in them as he watched her because she blushed bright red at one point when he was lean back in the chair staring her down.
At one point he understood why she hated her job. A stupid drunk idiot grabbed her ass and Daryl damn near came off the chair but she turned around and slapped him. The big bouncer got there quickly and hauled the man out, Daryl glaring him down the whole time. He needed to get her out of this place soon or he'd kill someone.
"Hey doll. Why you sitting over her by yourself?" he heard someone say and he turned his head just as a hand that was not his girlfriend slid over his shoulder. Daryl jerked back and glared at her.
"Waiting on my girl to get done." Daryl said nodding towards Lily who had saw the blonde and was making her way over.
"Crystal. Back up off my man." Lily snapped getting in the blondes face. She jerked back scared before huffing and walking off like a child and Daryl smirked and stood up standing very close to her.
"You done yet?" Daryl whispered in her ear and she nodded, breathing picking up as she felt Daryl excitement.
"Yeah. Follow me home." She told him and walked out the back door with Daryl right behind her.
His impression of her home was not a good one. The complex was in what he would call the hood and there were groups of men standing all over. The apartment itself was small, studio but she kept it clean. Daryl did not like her living there.
He didn't have time to voice his opinion as she grabbed his vest and tugged him towards her bed and all thoughts of her place was blown out his mind as he finally was able to have her again. And he had her several times that night before they passed out.
They spent all day Saturday in bed, watching movies, talking and having sex. She cooked for him while he was there and when it was time for her to go do her shift Daryl agreed it was best if he stayed at her place because he liable to kill someone if he had to watch her get grabbed at all night again.
"I'll see you at 12." She said kissing him. He nodded and she left leaving him to nap and watch TV while she was gone. He was woken up at 10 by banging on her door and he went over shirtless and snatched the door open to see a blonde guy dressed in preppy clothes standing there looking at him in shock.
"What." Daryl snapped and the boy sneered.
"Where's Lily?" he ask and Daryl crossed his large arms over his chest and stared down at the shorter man.
"Working why?" Daryl replied and the boy huffed.
"Who the hell are you?" the boy ask and Daryl's gaze intensified.
"I'm her man. Who are you?" Daryl growled and the boy curled his lip.
"I see she's slumming it now. I'm Trent her ex." He said and Daryl snapped. Reaching forward he grabbed the prick by the collar of his pressed shirt and slammed his back against the door and getting in his face.
"I know who you are and let me tell you I've wanted to meet you for a while now. Lily is mine now. Stay the fuck away from her or you won't like the results." Daryl hissed and he could feel Trent shaking as he shoved Daryl off and ran towards his car like the chicken is was. Daryl watched him go and slammed the door shut and paced around the small apartment until he heard Lily come in.
When she walked in she knew something was wrong.
"Daryl. What is it?" she ask and he looked over at her while smoking.
"Your Ex stopped by. Had a little chat with him." Daryl said and Lily gapped in surprise at him.
"Seriously. He came by?" Lily ask and Daryl nodded, standing up and walking over towards her. He picked her up and sat with her in his chair.
"Has he been back since that night I heard him on the phone?" Daryl ask and Lily shock her head no.
"No I promise. I haven't heard from him. I can't believe he came by. I'm so sorry." Lily said and Daryl grunted as he passed her his cigarette.
"You anit got shit to be apologizing for girl. Look I'm not going to lie. I don't like you living here. It's dangerous. I don't like you job because I wanted to put my fist through the faces of several men in there. I understand through why you live and work there and I'm not going to tell you what to do. I just want you to consider moving in with me as soon as you finish school. Ty already said he'd hire ya. I know it's fast but I want ya near me where I can protect and take care of ya and I want ya in my arms every night. Just think about it and if that prick comes back after I leave tomorrow I want you to tell me." Daryl said and Lily listened to what he said.
"Daryl, I don't want you to get in trouble for me. If you hurt him he'll have you arrested." She said concered and Daryl snorted.
"Sweetheart. You're my girl and it's my job to take care of ya. If he so much as bothers you again Merle and Me will take care of him and trust me well take him so far into the woods the cop dogs wouldn't be able to sniff him out. I'll kill anyone that hurts you Lil's. Believe that." He said seriously and Lily knew he would. He was the kind of man her father wanted her to have. She felt safe with him and knew he'd never hurt her and would kill for her if he had too. It was a heady feeling.
"Alright. I'll tell you and I do want to move up there when I finish classes. I only have 2 weeks left but are you sure your ok with having me invade your space. And what about Merle?" she ask and he snorted.
"I wouldn't have ask if I didn't want ya there. Yes I'm sure and Merle will be fine with it until I get our house built. Done told ya I was planning on that and this gives me reason to move forward with it." he said and silenced anymore arguments with a kiss as he took her to bed. She was coming to stay with him back home, her new home and he didn't want to hear anymore about it.
The two weeks till she took her last test was over quickly. Her graduation was still a week away and she planned to stay long enough to get her diploma, give her boss a notice and finish out the month she had already paid for at her apartment. Daryl didn't like it but he understood and he and Merle was planning to be there for the graduation and to pack her things. She was a week away from moving out of her shit hole and making a new life up north with Daryl. She was excited.
Since she gave her notice her boss had been working her everyday and long hours trying to get his monies worth out of his best girl and was not happy she was leaving.
She hadn't heard from her ex since Daryl scared him off but that night at work things changed. He came in with a few friends and requested to section and she knew this night was going to be hell. Good thing she only had an hour left of her shift. Taking out her phone she sent a text to Daryl.
Daryl was sitting on his porch with Merle and Beth his phone was in his room since he hadn't planned to call Lily till later.
Lily sent the text and put it in her back pocket as she made her way over towards her ex and his friends. She shivered at the evil look in his eyes and prayed nothing happened.
Her night went from bad to worse. Her ex took every chance to tease her and make comments about her and Daryl calling her a lot of names. He had to in tears by the time he went to grab her and she punched him in the face getting herself fired in the process.
Driving home she tried to call Daryl but he didn't answer and she slammed her door of her apartment, crying her eyes out as she tried to call him a few more times.
When Daryl finally went to the bathroom he heard his phone going off but didn't make it to pick it up. Seeing Lily had tried to call him 3 times in the last 3 hours he was about to call her back when he saw her text.
Ex just walked into the bar. May be trouble tonight. I love you. Lily.
"Son of a bitch." Daryl yelled as he hit the call button and moved around his room grabbing his keys and wallet. His yell was heard by his brother who stood in alarm as Daryl ran out the door and headed to his bike. Lily didn't pick up and he cursing while trying not to crush his phone in anger.
"Daryl what's wrong?" Merle ask running towards them with his keys and helmet too. Beth behind him on the porch.
"Lily text me 3 hours ago her ex came into the bar and there may be trouble. She tried to call me too but I left my fucking phone in the room and now she's not picking up. Shit." Daryl spat pacing around his bike as he tried to call again.
Merle ran to tell Beth they were leaving and she nodded as he came back and waited for Daryl to decide what to do. If anything happened to her Daryl would lose it.
Daryl tried for another 30 minutes before deciding to drive down there. He and his brother were backing out there bikes when headlights pulled into the driveway. Daryl recognized Lily's car and got off the bike and ran to her as she got out and flung herself into his arms, crying.
"He's right behind me." Lily told him pulling back and he could see a bruise on her cheek and around her neck, she had been attacked but this fuck and drove to him to escape. Daryl tensed when he saw more headlights coming and nodded towards his brother. Merle took off and grabbed Daryl's crossbow and his gun before running back over.
"What happened?" Daryl ask as he saw the car park in the woods thinking they were being sneaky.
"He showed up at work when I text you. Treated me like shit and grabbed me ass. I punched him and I got fired. When I got back home I loaded my bags up that was already packed in my car to come up here he showed up alone. His high or something. We fought and he hit me and tried to strangle me but I scratched his eyes and he let go. I ran for my car and headed here. He followed me the whole way. I'm so sorry I lead him here." Lily cried and Daryl shushed her.
"Naw I'm glad ya did. I'm sorry I didn't answer I didn't have my phone. Wait on the porch with Beth baby. He anit going to bother you no more." Daryl said with anger and fire in his eyes.
Lily nodded and let Daryl kiss her as she ran to the porch and Beth pulled her into a hug as they watched Merle and Daryl stalk towards the woods on a mission.
Lily and Beth waited for over 3 hours before they finally saw Merle and Daryl walking back towards them. They stood as there men came forward and Lily looked at Daryl for answers.
"He's dead. Took care of it like I said I would. He anit a problem no more baby." Daryl said and Lily sagged in relief and looked over to see Beth nodding at Merle, love shinning in her eyes. Beth knew that Merle would do the same for her and that's why she loved him.
"What about the cops?" Lily ask and Daryl and Merle laughed.
"Anit going to be a problem. Rick owed me a favor and we met him at Hershel's farm. Let us who his crusher to get rid of the car and the body. Anit no one going to find him again." Daryl said and Beth gasp in shock.
"Daddy was ok with that?" Beth ask Merle who smirked.
"Your daddy and us go way back. We had to help him out a long time ago with something and he owed us. That's why he likes me so much." Merle told her and Beth nodded and didn't ask anything more. She was just glad everything was ok.
Daryl took Lily to bed and helped her unpack her things. They drove to Atlanta a week later for her graduation and to clean out her place and turn in the keys. She was glad to see the end of her days in the city and was ready to start her life with Daryl.
She got the job at the shop and worked circles around the guys much to their amusement. She was happy, had a great man, a job she loved and a new house almost built.
Daryl didn't think he's life would get any better as he watched his now wife help his brother pull the motor out of a car they were working on. They were trying for a baby soon and whether it happened or not Daryl knew that his life was perfect now all because of a wrong dialed number that changed his life.
