Sadie sighed as her thoughts wandered off to Claude, but she still kept an ear for Negan's voice. "Supposed to rain tonight darlin'." Negan focused on her hair. "Bad. So I'm going to need you to do a quick run around the Sanctuary before it starts."
Sadie held in a tear with a straight face. 'Eat my feelings.' "Alright. Right now?" "Yep." He kissed the top of her head and helped her up. Thankfully he didn't notice her eyes were slightly wet. "Thanks."
"No problem." She left to put her shoes on and wiped her eyes with her hoodie sleeves. After putting it back on, Sadie left outside for a thorough search.
Frollo coincidentally turned the same corner. He sighed and kept walking, ignoring her. Sadie pressed her lips and followed after him. "Claude. Wait." He rose an eyebrow and turned around with his arms folded. "Yes?"
She huffed, hearing the impatience in his voice. "What are you doing?" "Why I was unloading furniture before I was so rudely interrupted." He scowled. She blushed, trying to not take his tone so seriously. "Do..you need any help?"
"No. I do not. Now do not waste my time." He walked off. Sadie shook her head, not believing what she was hearing. She hurried over to one of the trucks. "Are you mad at me?" Frollo picked up a wooden side table, not even acknowledging her.
"Claude! Answer me, please!" "Why should I? You belong to Negan now Sandra." He looked down at her. "I'm not solely his Claude. We can still communicate with each other."
"Stop being so optimistic. Understand this." He held her shoulders. "You were everything to be Sadie. When he took you from me, that was the largest amount of pain I have ever felt."
She blinked. "You're joking. Stop being so dramatic." Sadie folded her arms. "I am not being dramatic."
Rain started to sprinkle from the sky.
"Our bond is broken Sandra. Now I want nothing to do with you." He sighed. Sadie stared at him in disbelief and shook her head. "You can't be serious." Frollo walked away to continue unloading the truck.
Her eyes filled with tears and she ran off to continue scanning the Sanctuary for walkers. "I was so foolish! Thinking he would have feelings for a girl like me."
Simon was carrying a pack of beer inside just before the rain started to come down harder. Sadie quickly ran inside and hid in one of the empty cell rooms to cry. Although pitch black, she hiccuped and heavily sniffled.
Simon unpacked each can in the pit and walked back to maintain inventory. He rose an ear as he passed by the closed door and heard her struggling to catch her breath.
Sadie clenched her chest as the door opened.
"You're not Daryl." He put his hands in his pockets with a smirk. "Are you sure?" Sadie looked up. Her eyes were blurred and wet. "I don't want to distract you." "Nobody's on Easy Street unless Negan says so." He knelt down. "Unless you want to be." He grinned.
She sighed.
"There's no cryin' in here." Simon felt her forehead. Sadie looked into his eyes. "Come on. Man up." He took her hand and helped her stand up. "Damn. No wonder Negan picked you as a wife." Simon pressed his lips.
Sadie shivered. "Davey said the same thing." She rolled her eyes. "Davey? Yeah. Heard about that shit." He began to unzip her hoodie. "Davey was just a boy.."
Sadie looked at him, now scared. "What are you doing?" "Making you feel better." He let her hoodie fall to the floor. "The scummiest rats can have feelings too."
Sadie felt his hands on her shoulders. "You're not a rat. Swallowing your hate and getting shit done around here can't be easy." He shook his head. "F*ck no." Simon leaned his head in close to her. "But it can be." He whispered.
"Simon. I don't think this is a good idea." She gently pushed him away. "If Negan finds out.." "It's not about that. Stopping a little girl from crying isn't breaking the law." He leaned back in to her neck. "That is, if you are done crying."
"I am." She whispered then gulped. "I should go.." "Uh uh." He gently put a hand to her face. "I sense emotions like a bloodhound." Sadie calmly sighed and shut her eyes. "I'm just overwhelmed."
He leaned her against the wall and moved his hand up and down the braid in her hair. "You're working too hard around here." He felt her chest. "You're just little."
"Yeah. I know. But.." "Negan is being selfish.." He gently kissed her on the forehead. "..Expecting too much. Not giving you what you want. When did he just make you happy and not himself?"
"Um.." Sadie gulped. "I..guess he never did." "Exactly." He sighed. "I, on the other hand, am very generous." He put his left hand at her waist. Sadie opened her eyes, lost for words. "I..did promise you a kiss right?"
He scratched the back of his neck. "That seems to ring a bell." Simon grinned.
Sadie quickly looked to the door. Closed. She then huffed and closed her eyes again. Simon lightly groaned as their lips met. "That's a good little girl." He held the back of her neck. "It takes..a lot of skill to..play with the big boys." Sadie panted between kisses.
"I f*ckin' bet." Simon sat Sadie on the ground and spread her legs. "That's what I like in a woman. Maturity." He kissed rougher and placed a hand between her legs.
She groaned and stood up. "Hey. I didn't scare the squirrel did I?" Simon rose to his feet as well. "No. You didn't." Sadie saluted him. "Thanks for making me feel better Simon."
He hummed. "Why the sudden end though? Got a date?" "A very loose date." Sadie coughed. "Negan put me on walker duty. He thinks I'm still out there doing that. Oh man. I'm in some deep shit." She covered her face with her hands. "F*ck. Better hurry then. Don't want his dick to burst."
Sadie smiled and forced herself to give him a small hug. "Consider me your shoulder to cry on if you ever need something." He lightly smiled and looked down at her. "You're so much more than that." Sadie quickly ran out and quietly walked back to Negan's place.
'Damn. Wasn't expecting him to be so civilized.' She opened the door and wiped her lips on her hoodie. The girl huffed and walked back to the bedroom. 'He's not a bad kisser either.'
"Took a while darlin'." Negan lay on the bed in his boxers.
"Yeah. It was mayhem out there." She blinked and looked out the window. "Hope more of them don't start acting like ducks."
He slowly stood up and walked over to her. Sadie held her breath, trying not to mention anything. He inhaled the scent of her neck and slowly nodded, making Sadie lightheaded.
"You smell nice darlin'." He rested his chin on her head. "Like you were using Simon as a f*ckin' guidance counselor or some shit." Negan narrowed his eyes and wrapped his arms around her waist. She shivered. "N..no I wasn't." Sadie panted.
Negan turned her body to face him. "Then f*ckin' prove me wrong!" He shouted.
Sadie gripped the bottom of the bed in fear. "Jeez-uh! You don't have to yell! I was just helping him unload beer." She sat next to the baby on the floor.
He towered over her and she widened her eyes. "You've crossed the line big time here darlin'." Negan picked up Lucille and Sadie ran into the living room. "You belong to me you f*ckin' slut!" He cornered her near the door.
"Shut up!" She managed to shout. "It's not all about you here! I have feelings too! Wake up and see the reality! This not your world with everyone else just existing." She clenched her teeth.
Negan grabbed her by the neck and lifted her up. "If you had died, Lucille would still be with me. And that's exactly what I'm going to do." He grabbed her throat tighter.
Sadie tightened her eyes and coughed. "N..Neg..an..I..can'.."
He dropped her to the floor and she hit her head hard on the carpet. Negan huffed and left her there to accompany Gracie back in the bedroom.
Sadie weakly opened her eyes then closed them. 'I'll..be okay.' She started to feel a growing headache and started to silently cry. 'Okay..'
Simon sighed and went back to work, not guilty in the slightest about what just happened. Although he knew somehow that Sadie wasn't so lucky. He paused for a minute, just hoping she was standing her ground and denying any questions Negan was asking her.
Sadie shut her eyes, feeling as if her head was bleeding but she didn't know for sure. 'Simon. I'm sorry.'
Negan lay back down on the bed to close his eyes. "Not my world? What the f*ckin' shit?" He muttered. "She's going to f*ckin' regret saying that."
Simon huffed and quietly snuck up to Negan's room about an hour later and slowly opened the door. He found Sadie on the floor with a small cut on her head and glared at the bedroom door. 'Kiss my f*ckin' ass.' He carefully picked up Sadie and quietly closed the door behind him. He carried her to Dr. Carson's office and lay her on the table.
"What happened here?" Dr. Carson anxiously looked at her.
"Negan's f*ckin' temper got the better of him." Simon sat beside her and held her right hand. "She wasn't a motive in the slightest."
"I see." The doctor put on a single white glove and felt the wound on the left side of her head. He sighed. "Well the more rest, the better. Bring her to the infirmary. She'll be safe there."
Simon took a warm cloth from Dr. Carson and lay Sadie under the blankets. He set the warm cloth on her cut and rubbed her right hand. Sadie tightened her eyes but didn't open them. "Simon?"
"Yeah. Sadie." He cleared his voice, forgetting about what Negan wanted from either of them. She huffed as his lips softly met hers. "Sensitive noggin there huh?"
"Yeah." She nodded. "Sometimes I lose my memory, and I just shut down. Like I don't speak, move, or even get up." "And he knew about this?" Simon scowled. "Yes. He did." Sadie opened her eyes. "But please don't bring this up with him."
"Oh that is something I know I can not do." He moved his hand up to her chest. "You don't ever hit a girl. No matter who the f*ck you are." He pulled the blankets up to her neck. "I swore on my father's grave that hitting a women is for f*ckin' pricks."
Sadie placed her hands on his. "I wasn't expecting you to be so..humane." She fluttered her eyes. "Thank you." Sadie closed her eyes again. "Why don't you get some sleep. I'll keep an eye open."
"But, won't you get tired? I mean.." Sadie blushed, hoping she didn't open up the idea for them to sleep together.
He smirked. "Eugene should be back in a hour. Don't worry about it. No other man here is ever going to lay a hand on you again."
Sadie lightly smiled and pulled the blankets back up to her neck. "Okay. Thanks Simon."
He lightly kissed her on the lips and snuck a hand under her shirt. His hand rested on her stomach with a straight face. 'Negan is a f*ckin' dead man.' "Doing my job. And tomorrow will be even more rewarding."
