Chapter 3: Holding Onto You

Andy woke up the following morning with a splitting headache. She stumbled out of bed and headed to the main room. All of the wives were sitting around drinking coffee. Everyone greeted Andy aside from Ashlynn of course.

"So, you snuck out last night huh? We were shocked the Negan didn't...you know." Sherry said looking down. Andy shrugged.

"I wasn't trying to escape. I just needed some air." Andy said as Charlotte handed her a cup of coffee.

"You know Andy, we were talking. Since you have gotten here, Negan hasn't touched us." Amber said.

"I'm sorry…"Andy said awkwardly.

"No! Don't be sorry. We are actually happy." Sherry exclaimed. "Negan has called for a meeting today in the warehouse. We better get going." Sherry said as she got up. Andy and others got dressed. They headed to the warehouse and gathered in with the huge crowd. Andy caught a glimpse of her group on the other side and got looks that could kill. Andy tried to ignore it and looked up as she heard one of the upper level doors open. Negan came out, Lucille in tow, and stood on the metal bridge above them. He wore the devilish smile that would scare any normal human being. It just gave Andy butterflies.

"Good fucking Morning, Saviors!" Negan boomed. "Now I know you all are wondering what this damn meeting is about. I'll tell ya. That woman right there. Can you come up here Andy?" Negan asked. Andy blushed slightly and worked her way through the crowd. All heads turned towards her and she couldn't help but notice Ashlynn glaring darts through her. Andy finally made it to the metal bridge and looked down. Negan took her hand and smiled even wider. He pulled her in close and wrapped his free arm around her waist. "This woman right here is changing a lot around here. First, I am divorcing all of you down there." Negan said as he pointed Lucille at the wives below. "You can go back to your original hubby's. Doesn't bother me none. Well go on!" Negan exclaimed. All of the wives ran to their significant others and cried with joy. Andy couldn't help but smile. Ashlynn glared up at Andy and stormed out of the warehouse. "Well, I guess not all of em' are happy." Negan whispered to Andy. Andy smiled and put a hand on Negan's chest. "Second, no more points. You all get treated equally." Negan announced. People gasped and turned heads. "I know I know. You may think I am going soft. Maybe in a way I am. This little lady here is doin' somethin' to me for sure. But don't for one minute think I won't bash anyone's head in who deserves it. Old Lucille here still itches for a brain to beat in. You're all fuckin' dismissed." Negan said. Everyone scattered as Negan turned Andy towards him. "Happy?" Negan asked. Andy smiled.

"You could say that." Andy said as she took Negan's face into her small hands. She planted a small kiss on his lips that got drawn out by him. "What are you up to today?" Andy asked.

"Movin' you into my quarters for one thing." Negan said smiling. Andy's eyes widened.

"Oh really? Don't you think that is a big step? What if I say no?" Andy said smiling. Negan bent down and put his lips to her ears.

"I'm not fuckin' askin' doll." Negan said. Andy's arms raised with goosebumps and Negan noticed. He laughed slightly and kissed her on the cheek. "I'll see you later." He said as he brushed past her. Andy smiled and looked down to see Jordan and Casey eyeing her from below. Casey said something to Jordan and they sulked away towards the rest of the group. Andy shook off the feeling of betrayal and guilt. She headed towards her quarters and thought about Negan the whole way. When she got into the main room, Sherry and the other girls were standing around. Sherry ran up to Andy and hugged her tightly.

"Thank God for you Andy." Sherry cried. Andy hugged her back.

"Glad I could help." Andy said smiling. "Are your guys moving in here?" Andy asked as she saw a few of them moving stuff into the hall.

"Yeah, we asked Negan and he said okay." Amber said smiling.

"That's great! Well, you will have an extra room." Andy announced. Ashlynn emerged from the hallway.

"Are you fucking kidding me?" Ashlynn growled. She walked right up to Andy and fumed. "Who the hell do you think you are? You are here for not even two weeks and you act like you own the place. You don't deserve him." Ashlynn bellowed. Andy stepped forward, not backing down.

"Got a problem with it? Take it up with him." Andy spat back. Charlotte got in the middle.

"Okay ladies. Enough. Andy, I will help you get your stuff. Ashlynn, go cool off." Charlotte ordered. Ashlynn hesitantly stormed to her room and slammed the door. Charlotte helped Andy gather her belongings and head to Negan's quarters. Andy pulled out the room key that Negan had given her before he left and opened the door. They set Andy's stuff down and Charlotte smiled.

"Thank you so much Andy. I don't know how you did it, but I am grateful. I have missed Scott so much. You are an angel." Charlotte said as she hugged Andy tightly. Andy wasn't much of a hugger but she didn't want to be rude. There had been a lot of hugging today, this was exhausting to her.

"No problem." Andy said smiling. Charlotte left and Andy started putting her clothes away in the closet. It felt weird to take something like this so fast. But Andy figured that the end of the world meant end of relationship boundaries and timelines. Once Andy was done putting her stuff away, she grabbed a random book from the shelf and sat on the couch. She began to read the mystery novel and sighed. After a couple hours of reading, Andy was startled by Negan throwing the door open. Andy shrieked slightly and Negan smiled.

"Fuck, you scared me." Andy said as she sat up and put her book down.

"Ah, Stephen King stories scarin' ya doll?" Negan said as he sat Lucille by the bed and shrugged out of his leather jacket. He stood in front of her in his white wife beater and Andy could outline his physique. Andy stood up and was only centimeters from Negan. She could feel the heat from his body.

"Takes a lot to scare me." Andy said as she put a hand on his chest. Negan growled.

"Oh yeah?" Negan asked. Andy nodded and Negan grabbed her by the throat. "How about now?" He teased. Andy smirked and shook her head no. Negan brought her neck up to kiss her. His mouth locked to hers. Andy wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her around him. Negan gently laid Andy down onto his giant bed and settled himself between her legs. Their clothes were peeled off, their bodies moved and melted together. Andy wasn't sure how she find this guy. She didn't know how insane he was. She just knew his crazy matched her crazy.
