Before the story continues: I would like to thank all of you, who read this little piece of my imagination. I want to apologize for the misspelling of Maggie´s name in the former chapter. For the purpose of the story, I have to write a b****y Beth. She´s never been my favorite character on the show ( I guess that is quite obvious, after all I´m writing Caryl stories), but I don´t want to be disrespectful to her. I needed an evil antagonist to Carol. I´m not a friend of OFC, so it had to be someone from the show. Beth had been my choice.

There is nothing ordinary
in the way, your lips curl into a smile
beautiful to me.
I never knew
I was incomplete
until we met
and became a whole.
Daryl wakes up with a jolt. His heart is beating hard and fast. He groans and runs his hands over his face. He is sweaty and embarrassed because of the wetness in his boxers. He had a goddamn wet dream. Like some stupid, fuckin´ teenage boy.
In his dream, he felt soft skin under his fingertips, under his mouth. He heard small sounds of pleasure, falling from pink lips. He drowned in deep blue eyes. His hands were running through short greying hair.
He cheated in a dream.
He feels awful.
Daryl gets out of the bed and changes his boxer.
He has no idea, why he seems to be so intrigued with this woman.
The entire sunday, he spent observing her, from a distance. Like a fuckin´ creep. He watched the way her behaviour had changed, the moment Beth and Ed had shown up on Hershels farm.
Where she was confident before, she became insecure.
This beautiful smile became rare and forced.
She became still.
Same as her daughter.
It was all so familiar to Daryl. He was there before. All his childhood, all his youth.
And it hurts to be reminded of the past.
No wonder, he´s confused.
There was this one moment yesterday, when Carol handed him a plate with vegetables across the table, their fingers brushed. He didn´t flinch.
And later, when they all went outside, he put his hand on the small of Carol´s back, to lead her the way. It was normal. It was unconsciously. But it was all him: he initiates that touch.
Something he never did before. With nobody.
He knows that Beth had seen this little moment, he saw her narrowing her eyes at them.
And now, he has sexy dreams of a woman that is not his fiancee and that scares the shit out of him.
There is nothing ordinary
in our love.
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Daryl sleeps quite well for the rest of the night. No more disturbing dreams.
When he comes to his garage the next morning, he´s delighted to find the parcel with the spare parts of the Peletier car. So he can make good use of his morning and work on the mercedes.
By noon, the car is running and he calls Eds cell phone.
And he is utterly confused when he hears Beth´s sweet voice answering the call.
"Is that you, Daryl?" she asks.
"Yeah! Why do you answer Ed´s phone?"
"He´s driving."
"But...but, his car is here. I fixed it. He can pick it up. Why are you driving with him?"
"We use my car. We´re going to Atlanta. Or somewhere else. He can make me famous. And he will make me famous. He´s so good to me", she practical purrs.
A shiver runs down Daryl´s spine.
"I´m leaving, Daryl. I´m leaving you and my family and my stupid life in that stupid little town in the middle of nowhere. I want to live. Last night has been fantastic and it changed my life from the beginning."
Last night, Beth volunteered to drive the Peletier family back to Maggie´s place.
"I spent the night in Ed´s bed and he turns my world upside down. It is so great to touch a man, who doesn´t flinch. A man, who likes to touch me. And,mmhhm, the things he can do with his hands...and mouth...and other parts of him. I guess, we made mousey and little mouse blush. They were in the room next to us."
Daryl can hear Ed giggle. That man fuckin´giggles! Daryl´s world falls in pieces and that bastard giggles.
His mouth runs dry and he feels sick.
"Daryl, don´t try to find me. I won´t come back. Ever."
