Don't own any TWD characters.
After spending nearly an hour and a half in the Men's Warehouse, the boys were able to find themselves suits to wear to the party they will be gatecrashing too. Rick's older brothers led the group towards god knows where, but the rest of the group followed behind.
Rick looked around at the shops around them, Champs, Sprint store, Express to name a few. He began to people watch at the people walking around the mall. Rick hears female laughter coming from the opposite side of the mall. The same laughter he heard earlier.
Rick looked at the two women making their way towards the group of boys. The dread-haired girl was coming towards him. She has yet to notice him yet but he definitely noticed her. Her smile looks even better, the closer she is advancing to him. She was wearing a simple outfit of a grey crop top with ripped boyfriend jeans. She also wore pure white shoes with not a single scuff on them as well as carrying a leather bag. She is absolutely beautiful so much it made Rick feel a little nervous.
But she finally looked up and instantly their eyes connected. It seems like no one was around. The light around them darkened and all noise was silenced. Rick felt like she's looking into his soul and vice versa. They continue making their way towards each other and as they were passing, their hands brushed against each other, which sent electric shocks throughout their bodies.
They broke eye contact and Rick closed his eyes as he rode out the shocks going through his body. The noise came back as well as the light. Rick continued to follow his brothers but he decided to take a look at the dread-headed girl. He saw that she stopped as she listened to the brown haired girl next to her. Her back was to him and even her backside looks gorgeous. The things Rick would do to this girl are nearly unspeakable. But he thought of those actions intently. Wondering what she would sound like, then what she would sound like moan his name. He wanted to hear her laughter and he wanted to be the source of that laughter. Seeing her made him want to worship her for the rest of their lives.
As if she could hear him, the girl glanced at him, meeting his eyes almost instantly. He was probably drooling at the sight of her, but she still gave him a gentle smile. After that, she simply turned to other girl and began to walk away from him.
"Rick, man," he heard Daryl call to him. Rick didn't even realize that at some point he stopped and stared at the pretty girl. "Are you okay?" Rick continued to look at the girl until she was out of his sight.
He finally turned back to the group. All the guys were looking at him and the direction he was looking at. His brothers and Daryl looked curious as to what was going on, but Glenn looked completely nervous. Although his face didn't show it, Rick was wondering why Glenn looked so nervous. Did Glenn know the girl he was completely enamored with? And if so, how? But Rick decided to leave those questions for later.
"I'm okay," Rick responded. He looked back at the direction where the girl went. "I'm going to go this way. I wanted to see a store; I'll meet up with you guys in a bit." Without waiting for the guys to respond, Rick turned on his heel and swiftly made his way the opposite direction he was going.
"What the hell was that," Spencer questioned.
"I don't know but let's go. We'll let him know where we are at." Shane stated as he turned and headed in the opposite direction from Rick. The twin brothers followed behind without looking back towards their youngest brother.
Daryl looked back at Rick, preparing for the questions he was going to ask him when they were away from Rick's brothers. Daryl turned to look at Glenn and saw that he was aggressively biting his lips.
"What's wrong with you?"
Glenn turned from the direction Rick left into Daryl, confused. "What?"
"You're biting your lips like you're planning on it 'em. What's going on?"
"Nothing," Glenn mumbled.
"Yeah okay," Daryl responded. Shane called for the two boys. "We'll talk about this later." With that, Daryl walked away. He grumbled, "Rick and Glenn acting weird as fuck. What the hell is going on?"
Glenn looked back towards the direction Rick headed. Hopefully, Rick won't interact with Maggie. That was something he didn't need. Glenn just shook his head and followed behind Daryl, silently praying that Rick didn't recognize Maggie or her sister.
Rick looked all around trying to find the pretty girl again. She barely left his eyesight and now she's completely gone. He looked within the store windows and tried to see if he could see her. Finally, he saw her. He stopped just to stare as she looked at her face. She was smiling and laughing with the brown-haired girl. She was lifting clothes to her body and flaunting it a bit in front of the girl.
Rick decided to enter the store so he could hear her voice. As if she felt him enter the store, the girl looked directly at him. Her face was filled with shock but her face softened. She spoke to the brown haired girl, who nodded and moved away from his pretty girl. The dread-haired girl looked back at Rick and waved him over. Almost instantly, Rick moved towards the pretty girl till he was right in front of her.
The girl smiled at Rick and he smiled right back.
"Hi," She said so sweetly. Her voice sounded like smooth velvet. Her smile was almost blinding up close.
"Hi," Rick smiled back at her.
"It seems like you've been following me all day."
"If I was following, it would never be from afar. It would be extremely close. So I can clearly see your beautiful face."
The girl smiled and looked down. Rick gently grabbed her chin and made her look up at him. "Don't ever hide that pretty face and smile from me." He moved the few dreaded pieces of hair from her face behind her ear. He noticed her flower earring. "What's your name, pretty flower," Rick questioned.
"Michonne," she stated as she looked into Rick's eyes. Rick has yet to remove his hands from her face. Michonne nuzzled Rick's hand as it was cupping her face.
"Michonne," He repeated her name. "It's so pretty, just like you, pretty flower."
"Are you going to tell me your name or are you going to keep me in the dark," Michonne questioned.
"Rick," he simply stated.
"Hello, Rick."
Rick rubbed his thumb on the ball of her cheek and smiled at her, "Hello Michonne."
"Why does it feel like I've known you all my life?"
"I have no idea. But I plan to never let you go."
Michonne smiled and pressed herself against Rick. Since she was a little shorter than him, Rick wrapped his arms around her shoulders while she wrapped her arms around his waist. Rick smelled her hair, which smelled like vanilla and coconuts. Michonne nuzzles her face into Rick's chest and smelled the sandalwood and pine on his shirt. She wanted to roll around in his scent and have clung to her.
Michonne mumbled something into Rick's shirt that he had to pull back in order to hear her properly but he never let her out of his arms.
"What was that," He chuckled a little.
"I said," she exaggerated jokingly. "That I'm pretty sure that we look so weird right now." Michonne looked around the store, and sure enough, people were looking at them weirdly.
"I don't care what those people are thinking, I'm holding my pretty flower and I don't plan to let go," Rick responded by pulling her back into his arms and swaying them slightly aggressive. She smiled and let out a musical laughter.
"Sooner or later, you'll have to let go."
"I'll choose later."
"My sister is going to come back soon. I sent her away to try on some clothes."
"Why'd you send her away," Rick questioned.
"Because she would be all in our faces and I don't think that I want her to be here when I meet you for the first time. It would totally ruin the moment."
"Well, when will she be back?"
"Soon. But I plan on giving you my number and I want you to text me immediately."
"I promise I will, pretty flower."
Rick reluctantly released Michonne and the couple exchanged their phones to program their numbers in. They handed their phones back to each other and placed it back into where they picked them up from. Rick pulled Michonne back into his arms and leaned his forehead down to meet her.
"I hope that I will be able to see you again," Michonne stated as she closed her eyes.
"You will. I'll make sure of it," Rick confirmed confidently. Michonne pulled back and looked up at Rick. He smiled and kissed her forehead. "I promise to text you."
Michonne nodded and they slowly released each other. Rick backed up and out the store as he never broke eye contact. Michonne smiled and turned away from Rick because if she didn't she'll run back into his arms. Rick smiled at her back and headed towards the direction where his brothers and friends were headed to earlier.
Rick pulled out his phone and looked at her number. She put her name in, but he decided to change it to Pretty Flower. After that change, he immediately texted her and put his phone in his pocket.
Maggie made her way to Michonne with a few of the clothes that she was going to get. "What were you doing out here?" She questioned.
"Nothing, just looking around and being on my cell phone," Michonne responded distractingly as she looked at her phone. She smiled at the message Rick sent her.
I can't wait to see you again, my Pretty Flower.
"What are you smiling at," Maggie observed. Her younger sister is smiling at her phone and as far as she knows, there was no boy in her life. So it was weird.
"Nothing. Just some post on Tumblr." Michonne quickly responded to Rick and put her phone in her pocket. "Are you ready to go because I'm tired."
Maggie looked at her sister suspiciously. "Yeah okay." Maggie made her way to the register and looked back at her sister. She didn't understand what was going on with her sister. It was completely odd that she was acting this way. Maybe after Michonne got some sleep, she'll open up to her.
As Rick was practically skipping towards the direction his friends, he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket and practically ripped it out of his pocket. He looked at the message.
I can't wait either. Maybe next time, you'll be able to kiss me.
Rick felt extremely hopeful of this possible new relationship. He can't wait to see Michonne again.
