Soo, I know how much I suck and I'm sorry I didn't update sooner.. lots of big changes in my life these past months but I will be keeping up from now on.

I own nothing of The Walking Dead, I just play.

Chapter 5

Daryl 's POV

Beth had programed her number into his phone when he dropped her off at home. He wanted to text her but didn't want to seem desperate, he had only dropped her off two hours ago. He opened his phone found her in his contacts and started a message, deleted it, started again and then deleted it again.

"What the fuck am I doing, it's not that hard to talk to a girl."

She made him feel nervous and he didn't know why.

Beth's POL

Beth wanted to check out her body from the night before, she knew she would have be brused a little. Slipping out of the dress Daryl had picked out she dropped it on the floor and took her bra off. Only one of her breasts was slightly brused, she had a small brused next to her left eye and her one hip had hand print bruse where Zack had gripped her. She shuddered and looked away, grabbing a pair of black jogs and a comfy oversized t shirt she wanted to be comfy.

Beth thought her Dad would have been home by now she walked into the kitchen and seen her second note in one day left for her on the table.

Beth,

Visiting Rick and Lori, the baby was born.. beautiful little girl named Judith. Be home before dinner

Love Dad.

"Awe, that's great for them!" Beth said to herself. She decided to watch a movie in her room while she waited for her daddy to get home.

Back in her room her phone was flashing a new text had come in. It was from Daryl.

You forgot your work shirt here. Washed it for you.

Beth giggled to herself, she couldn't imagine Daryl doing laundry. She thought she would call him to say Thank you. He picked up on the second ring.

"Hey"

"Hey Daryl! Thanks for washing my shirt."

"It ain't nothing Beth, just washin my own cloths." She could almost see him shrugging and looking up under his long dark eye lashes.

"It something Daryl. You saved me last night, took care of me, brought me home and did my laundry. Let me make it up to you."

"You don't need to do that."

"But I want to, let me cook you dinner tomorrow night."

"You want me to come over for dinner, meet your family.. Beth look I'm not good with families and dinners and.."

"I'm not asking for a commitment Daryl, pick me up at my place tomorrow at 2, I'll make dinner at your house. Just something to say thanks. Nothing more than that, Kay?" He was silent for a few seconds she thought he was going to no

"Kay." He finally mumbled.

She let out a happy laugh "Bye Daryl, see you tomorrow at 2."

"Beth wait.."

"Yeah.."

Daryl's POV

He wanted to tell her to come over tonight, that he thought she was beautiful. That in that dress she look and felt amazing on his lap, he wanted to kiss her again. There was something so different about Beth, never had he had the desire to have a girl around unless he needed to get laid but that's not he felt about Beth. She was so real, she accepted him for who he was. Other girls wanted Daryl because he looked like a bad boy and sure he use to be, he had grown up and these girls didn't get that. He didn't know how to say this to her so instead he said.

"Bike or Truck?"

She let out a full laugh "Ummm bike! What do you for dinner?" Her laugh made him laugh, it was contagious.

"Anything a good as long as I'm not cooking Darlin'."

"Sounds good."

"I'll pick you up tomorrow, at the gate to your farm at 2 with the bike."

"Bye Daryl."

" Bye Beth."

With that she hung up and he was anxious for tomorrow.

Beth's POV

We actually made plans for tomorrow she thought, I'm going to make Daryl Dixson dinner. Who would of thought. While thinking about what she was going to make for dinner she drifted off to sleep in her bed. Beth woke groggy a couple hours later, she could hear Meggie and her Dad downstairs laughing.

She made her way downstairs to find making pizza together just about ready to go in the oven.

"Yummy pizza!" She said.

"She's finally awake!" Meggie joked while grabbing her little sister in a tight hug.

"Awe my girls." Hershel walked over and wrapped his arms around both his daughters. "Love you both. How was the rest of your night with Sophia Bethy?"

"Ohh, it was great. Stayed up late watch movies.. ate junk food. You know. Girl stuff Daddy." She felt instantly bad for lying to her dad but she didn't think he would approve of her real night. "I'm hanging out with her tomorrow too, if that's alright. Having dinner at her place, after church. If that's okay?"

"Oh that's great Beth, Meggie had plans too so maybe I will have dinner with Rick and Lori. Help them out a little bit."

"Thanks Daddy."

After they ate and watched a movie together they all headed up to bed. Beth couldn't sleep, all she could think about was Daryl and what she could make him to thank him right.

Please R and R and share any suggestions.. I'm always open to ideas.

Lots of Love!
