Jess and Georgie pulled up at Negan's house with her bags packed in the back and soon after he appeared at the doorway before heading down to grab her things.

"Hey Sweetheart" he smiled as she climbed out of the car and melted into his embrace.

"Negan, this is Jess" Georgie said as she gestured to her friend who had hopped out from the driver's seat. "Jess this is Negan".

"Ahh so you're the cheeky voice on the other end of the phone" Negan grinned. "Nice to meet you Jess".

"Nice to finally meet you" Jess smiled. "I've heard... practically nothing about you" Jess said teasingly, directed at Georgie.

"With good reason" she countered. "But now you know".

"I'm losing a good roommate here. You better look after my girl Georgie" Jess warned.

"Georgie will be well looked after don't you worry about that" Negan smiled.

"Ahuh... I bet she will be" Jess teased.

"Jess!" Georgie scolded.

"What!?" She laughed. "The man is clearly doing something right. I've never seen you so happy... and I knew the moment you were getting some" she chuckled.

"Jess... Jesus!" Georgie giggled.

"I like this girl" Negan chuckled. "She tells it like it is".

"You're not helping" Georgie laughed. "First Ty... now you two. Stop" Georgie scolded, half joking.

"No shame in getting some girl" Jess giggled at her friends rosy cheeks. "How did he manage to get in your pants anyway?"

"Well..." Negan began with a chuckle.

"Oh my god we are not telling this story again" Georgie groaned as she slapped his chest lightly.

"C'mon Sweetheart. You gotta admit is kinda funny and a little bit cute".

"No babe... it's embarrassing" Georgie laughed.

"Oh C'mon. Now I gotta know" Jess grinned.

"Why don't you come in" Negan offered as he picked up Georgie's bags. "I'll put some coffee on".

"Negan I swear to God if you tell this story..." Georgie threatened light-heartedly.

They sat in Negan's living room, Georgie happily cuddled in to his side as they sipped at their hot drinks.

"So this story..." Jess probed.

"Oh god" Georgie groaned.

"Why don't you tell it Sweetheart" Negan chuckled.

"Do I have to?"

"If you don't... I'll make Negan tell me" Jess laughed.

"Alright... alright. Long story short, I had a crush on Negan. Like major crush" she blushed. "Anyway you know me, I'm always writing. One day I wrote something about him... a rather smutty something" Georgie told her.

"Oh my god... you didn't!?"

"Yup... I did. Well, one day I was stupid enough to lose it. I turn up to Negan's class one day and at the end of the lesson there he is holding my story in his hand. Threatening to read it out to the whole class if the owner didn't come forward".

"Oh that's mean" Jess laughed as she looked at Negan.

"I knew exactly who it belonged to" Negan smiled.

"So he had a little fun teasing me about it, I was mortified and was going to quit his class, until he told me that he had the same thoughts about me. We kissed... I freaked out and I bailed" Georgie laughed.

"Oh Georgie... you ran?"

"I did. I avoided him for a few days until I found his number written on my story and I texted him".

"You made the move? Shy little Georgie!? I'm so proud" Jess laughed.

"Well he's kinda irresistible and I couldn't get him out of my head. Anyway... one thing led to another and here we are" Georgie smiled as Negan kissed her temple.

"Aww that's a bit cute" Jess grinned.

"See told ya Sweetheart" Negan smiled.

"You guys are adorable" Jess smiled. "Well thank you for the coffee, and it was great to finally meet you Negan. I promise, your secret is safe with me".

"Thanks Jess" Georgie smiled.

"Nice to meet you too" Negan added with a smile.

"I'm just a text away if you ever need me girl" Jess smiled as she pulled Georgie into a hug.

"Thanks for being a great roommate" Georgie smiled.

When Jess had left Georgie began unpacking her things with Negan's help.

"Sweetheart?" Negan called out as Georgie was putting her clothes away in drawers.

"Yeah?"

"What's this?" He asked with a smile as he held up a stack of papers bound together.

"Oh that... that's nothing. Just a story I've been working on".

"Can I read it?"

"Yeah if you want to... I mean it's not that good" she said dismissing it. Truthfully she had really enjoyed working on it, but she didn't want to get her hopes up that it was any good.

Once they were done she flopped down onto the bed in his arms while he started to read her story, finally feeling like she had found a home.

"Georgie" he spoke up as he ran his fingers along her back.

"Yeah?"

"This is great"

"Really?" She asked, a hint of excitement and relief in her voice.

"Fuck yeah... I'm a chapter in and I'm loving it".

"You're not just saying that coz you don't wanna hurt my feelings right?"

"Sweetheart have I ever lied to you?" He said seriously.

"No... but I mean... we are together and you've always liked my work I j-" she began only to be cut off by Negan.

"Georgie, I'm a straight up guy. I'd tell you if I didn't think it was good. I really like it. Honestly. You should find a publisher and get this book out there. People will love it!" He told her.

"You really think so?"

"Of course Sweetheart. I really gotta build your confidence up babygirl" he smiled as he kissed her forehead. "You don't see just how amazing you really are" he gushed.

It was the last week of school and Georgie was looking forward to the holidays. She had a free period before Negan's class and she was spending it out in the sunshine reading when her phone rang. Checking her screen she didn't recognize the number.

"Hello, Georgie speaking" she answered.

"Hello, is that Georgie Monroe?" the unknown female voice asked.

"Yes that's me".

"My name is Amanda, I'm calling from MacMillan Publishing. We received your manuscript and we would very much like to talk to you about publishing your novel".

"Oh wow... th-that's amazing" Georgie replied a little stunned.

"Are you available to come by and meet with us this week?"

"Yeah sure. Absolutely".

"How does Thursday at 9am sound?"

"Thursday... ahh yeah that works great" Georgie replied.

"Excellent, we look forward to seeing you then. I will email you further details".

"Great. Thank you so much Amanda. See you Thursday" Georgie said excitedly before ending the call. Checking the time she had ten minutes before Negan's class so she decided to see if she could grab a moment with him to share her news. She hadn't told him that she was sending her manuscript out to publishers and she couldn't wait to see his reaction.

As Georgie neared his classroom she heard voices and thought he must still have a class. Approaching the doorway she waited quietly, and that's when she recognized the voice as Justine and she peered through the gap in the door.

"C'mon Professor" she whined. "If I fail one more paper then I'm done, I fail my whole degree".

"Maybe that thought should have crossed your mind before you spent all your time partying instead of putting in some effort with your assignments" Negan countered.

"Please Professor... I'll do anything" she hinted suggestively as she attempted to caress his forearm. Georgie felt a hint of pride when Negan quickly swatted her hand away.

"Justine... what you are suggesting is highly inappropriate".

"I promise I'll make it worth your while... I won't tell if you won't" Justine smiled. 'Ugh... what a slut' Georgie thought to herself. She both wanted to vomit and storm in there and punch her out. She had seen about as much as she could handle. Clearing her throat she made her presence known as she entered the room.

"Hope I'm not interrupting anything" she said with a somewhat sarcastic and bitchy tone as she gave Justine a look of disgust before looking towards Negan who gave her a sympathetic kind of smile and she could tell he was not at all comfortable with the situation. Most men would probably secretly enjoy women coming on to them, but clearly Negan only had eyes for Georgie.

"No. We're done here" Negan said sternly as he looked back to Justine. "Your grade is final. I suggest you start putting in more effort. Take a seat".

Georgie was dying to tell Negan her good news, but not with Justine hanging around so she decided to wait. Instead she took a seat in her usual spot, glancing up at Negan he gave her a small smile as he greeted her with a polite and casual 'Good Morning'. At least it was lunch after this, she could hang around and tell him the news then.
