Chapter 2: Dying Young, Playing Hard

Negan tangled his hands into Andy's hard and lightly pulled her how he wanted her. Andy nipped at Negan's lip and then Andy's shot up, breaking their kiss.

"What? What's wrong?" Negan breathed out. Andy lifted herself off of him and fixed her dress. She buried her head in her hands and growled in frustration.

"This is crazy. I don't even know you! You have multiple wives! Which is totally disgusting by the way. I can't do this. I am not going to compete with those women. They have been nothing but nice to me and I can't…" Andy said as she covered her eyes with her hands. Negan stood up and put his hands on either side of her face, not in a loving way.

"Who said you would be competing?" Negan said as he looked into Andy's blue eyes.

"You killed one of my people. You bashed his head in. How am I supposed to forget that?" Andy cried out. Negan released her and smiled.

"So you are really going to tell me that you have never killed a person before?" Negan asked. "Hmm?" He questioned as he widened his eyes looking for a response. "That's what I thought. You're not so innocent doll." Negan said as he sat back down on the couch.

"Still. I can't do this. You barely know me Negan! You have known me all of what a few hours?" Andy argued.

"Well, that I was trying to fucking do. Get to know ya." Negan said back.

"There is a big difference between getting to know someone and just trying to screw them." Andy spat back.

"Did it ever occur to you that maybe I am fucking interested in doing both?" Negan argued. Andy rolled her eyes. "Okay so let me get this fuckin' straight. You're only damn concern is that I have more than one woman, yes?" Negan asked.

"Well, that covers a lot of it, yeah." Andy replied. Negan nodded his head.

"Okay, I tell ya what princess. I will put my wives on a temporary lay off so to speak if you promise you will give me a chance. I'm a nice fuckin' guy once you get to know me." Negan said as he stood up.

"Is that it?" Andy asked with her arms folded. "Do you really think I am worth that? That's a lot of pussy variety being traded for just one." Andy smirked. Negan laughed and inched towards her.

"This is true. But I have the weird fucking feeling your worth all of them combined." Negan said as he leaned down a bit to reach Andy's height. Negan breathed into Andy's mouth as her chest heaved. Just as their lips were ready to touch, the bedroom door flew open. Dwight stood there, unsure of what to do. Negan growled and blinked at Dwight in frustration.

"Oh sorry Negan, I'll come back." Dwight said as he turned to leave. Andy turned around and stopped him.

"No it's cool Dwight. We're done here." Andy said as she eyed Negan. Negan smiled.

"Think about what I said darlin'." Negan said as he winked at Andy. This made her heart flutter like a little school girl. Andy rushed out of the room and back to her quarters. The wives were sitting around when she arrived and Sherry shot up to greet her.

"So? How did it go?" Sherry asked. Ashlynn turned her head slightly to eavesdrop.

"Um, I have no idea to be honest. There definitely is something about him. Makes me go weak at the knees." Andy said in a low tone. Sherry's eyes widened.

"Huh. I think that means you actually like Negan. Not because you have to." Sherry said smiling. The other girls laughed and chimed in, except for Ashlynn. Ashlynn shot up and stormed to her room. She slammed the door and this made a few of the girls jump.

"Don't' pay attention to her. She is the only one of us who doesn't have someone else in the camp. She has always had a thing for Negan. But he just likes to….nevermind." Charlotte stopped herself. Andy felt a wave of disappointment. To think of this guy banging someone else just made her stomach drop. Like she didn't have a chance.

That night, the women all ate in their quarters and exchanged stories of their new lives. Andy soon learned that the majority of them didn't really like Negan in a romantic way. They just wanted their boyfriends or husbands to be safe. Andy found it incredibly sad. Not in a rude way, but in a legitimate tragic way. Andy also learned that there was a reason why Negan was the way he was. The girls didn't know the entire story, but from what they knew, he had it rough. Andy wasn't sure what it was about Negan. She had a serious boyfriend, Mike, when the world went downhill. But it took Mike forever to get with her. She was always hard to get. But when it came to Negan, she let her guard completely down.

The next few days were uneventful. Andy still hadn't seen any of her group. She was assured by Dwight that her friends, Casey and Jordan were okay. Sherry confirmed that Dwight was telling the truth. It broke Andy's heart that Sherry and Dwight couldn't be together. She could tell they really loved each other. Ashlynn had made personal jabs at Andy every chance she got. But Andy just laughed at her desperation. Andy did feel a bit guilty. Apparently if you were a "wife", you got special treatment, like extra food. But the girls told her to enjoy it. No one could figure out when and if Negan would propose to Andy or not. They hadn't seen him in days so whatever was going on had to be important.

"So wait, you guys actually marry him? Ceremony and all?" Andy asked Sherry as they sat on the sofa.

"Yeah. It's nothing special but he makes it official. But official doesn't really pertain to this world anymore I guess." Sherry said sounding depressed. "Well, I am gonna go to bed." Sherry continued. The other girls agreed and headed to their rooms.

Andy looked around the room and sighed. It was odd not to have to kill a biter for three days in a row. She almost felt restless. Andy said 'fuck it' to herself and went to her room. She changed into skinny jeans and her boots. She put on a forest green fit hoodie and grabbed her knife that she hid from Negan. She missed her machete. Andy snuck out of the compound with ease. The watch guards weren't exactly bright. Andy headed out into the forest and breathed in the fresh air. She walked slowly as she tried to find any sign of a biter. Just as she was ready to give up, a pack of about three biters shuffled in front of her. Andy didn't hesitate as she ambushed them. She did a double kick to the bigger ones as they snarled. She kicked the smaller one up against the nearest tree and kicked its rotting skull in. She smiled and turned to the other two. They growled at reached for her but she was too quick. Andy ducked and stabbed one in the temple then kicked the other down. She yanked her knife out of the biters skull and jammed the blade into the bigger ones eye. When she was done, she heard slow clapping behind her. She turned and saw Negan standing there with Lucille. A huge grin on his face.

"Nice fucking work doll! I gotta admit, I was worried you wouldn't be able to handle yourself. I was more than fucking prepared to step in but you seem to be pretty decent with a blade. Gotta say, it was pretty hot." Negan said as he slowly approached her. Andy smirked.

"Uh huh. You're not mad I came out here?" Andy asked as she walked towards him. Negan shook his head.

"Nah. Steve said he saw you heading out here and at first I was plannin' on punishing ya pretty good. But, I am thinkin' you came here for a little...release." Negan said as they met in the middle. He towered over her and she could feel his body heat.

"Yeah I did. Can't get it anywhere else." Andy said sarcastically. Negan licked his lips and tried to wrap his arms around Andy's waist. Andy lightly shoved him away.

"Nope, I don't think so dude. You still haven't put the girls on hold. I told you. I am not gonna let you in as long as you have multiple wives. You pick. Either them or me." Andy said smiling. Negan smiled back and laughed.

"Well, now I would be more than willing but how do I know you won't up and dump my ass after I let em' go?" Negan asked. Andy shrugged. This was by far the strangest conversation she had ever had in her lifetime.

"Let's just say I didn't accept your offer so I could get nail polish and trashy magazines." Andy said as she leaned against a nearby tree. Negan shook his head and smiled.

"My fucking God. What is it about you girl? I have been nothing but a womanizing asshole since everything went bad. Then you fucking come along and all I want is you. Every inch of you. So much that I am willing to let all of my ladies go." Negan said as he put his arm on the side of Andy against the tree, blocking her to him.

"I don't know. But I get it. First time I saw you, I knew I was supposed to hate you. But I didn't. You smashed in on my guy's skull. I should be plotting against you." Andy said as she slowly brought down the zipper to Negan's leather jacket.

"Doesn't it bother you? I saw the look on your face when I was finished with him. You didn't even seem bothered. What, blood and guts doesn't bug you?" Negan asked. Andy looked down.

"I don't feel much anymore. I think that is why I am after you. When you are near me, I feel. It's...different. I like the rush." Andy said as she smiled. Negan smiled.

"Yeah. Me too." Negan said as he crashed his lips to Andy's. She wrapped her arms around his strong neck and lifted herself up a bit. Andy felt his cold tongue on her lips and instead of letting him in, she pushed him away.

"Let the girls go. Then we'll talk." Andy said as she started to walk away. Negan laughed and followed her. He caught up to her and put an arm around her.

"Jesus fucking Christ girl. You sure know how to give a guy blue balls." Negan joked. Andy laughed.

"It's a gift." Andy said as they stomped through the woods. They saw a biter up ahead and Negan started to walk towards it. Andy pulled him back.

"Let me try." Andy said as she pointed at Lucille. Negan looked at her sideways.

"Uhh. You sure? He's a big one." Negan said as he observed the rogue corpse.

"I've got it." Andy said smirking. She grabbed Lucille out of his grip and approached the rotting body. It snarled and snapped at her. Andy swung the bat back and with brutal force, brought it to the side of the biters head. Since the guy was so far gone, his head just exploded. Andy looked down to be sure she didn't have biter guts on her and sighed when she saw she was in the clear. Negan came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her.

"You are fuckin' amazing. How can someone so small be such a badass. You can't be more than 5'3." Negan said as they reached the compound gate. Andy laughed.

"Excuse me, I am 5'4. Get it right." Andy joked. Negan laughed with her as they headed to their building. Andy looked over and saw Casey and Jordan by a fire pit, eyeing her suspiciously.

"Hey, i'll be right back. I haven't talk to them since the other day." Andy said. Negan nodded and headed towards the security tower. Andy approached her friends and they wouldn't make eye contact with her. "Hey guys." Andy said smiling.

"What the hell are you doing with him Andy? He killed Evan. He is holding us here as prisoners! And you're banging him?" Casey argued.

"Case, I am not banging him. He is not all bad. He just has some rough edges. I am going to work on getting fair treatment for everyone and getting rid of that stupid points system. But trust me he's actually a cool guy." Andy said. Casey rolled her eyes.

"So you are actually into him?" Jordan asked. Andy smiled.

"Yeah, I think I am." Andy said with ease.

"You better watch your back Andy. I don't trust him. So now, I don't trust you. Just stay away from us." Casey said as she and Jordan walked away. Andy looked down and shoved her hands in her pockets. She quickly walked back to her building and avoided everyone. Were they right? She honestly wasn't sure. All she knew is that when she was with Negan, her bones electrified and her skin tingled. That's all she needed to know.
