I came so close to kissing her last night. Daryl just had to go and interrupt me. Dad, Beth, Herschel and I were the only ones awake at the moment. We stand and sit around in silence. After several moments spent wallowing in my own thoughts, I hear soft noise float from a cell block. It wasn't alarming. It was beautiful. A soft, angelic voice sang. I got up and followed the song. I finally got close enough to recognize the words being sung. I didn't recognize the song, though. I followed the voice until I found the source. I found Mia singing with her back facing the door. She hadn't heard me coming. After a few more verses, she turned. Apparently she hadn't heard me coming, and she screamed when she saw me. Then she realized it was me and she started to laugh. I laugh along with her.
When we finish our fit of laughter I say "I've never head you sing before."
"I sucked, didn't I?" she groaned.
I quickly shook my head no. She rolled her eyes.
"You were amazing," I say.
"Thank you, but I know how I sound, and it is nowhere near amazing. "
Now I roll my eyes. She walks to me and grabs my hand. We walk down to the rest. We lean against the wall, still holding hands.
"Told ya'll that they were a couple lovebirds," Daryl states.
We both blush. Mia buries her head in my shoulder, which only made me blush harder.
"Look at him getting redder than a tomato over there!" Daryl exclaims.
That one got some laughs from everyone. I would've blushed even harder, but it wasn't possible for my face to get any redder. Mia and I return to our cell.
"I know it was embarrassing, but it was only because it was true," Mia says quietly.
"I guess you're right," I say.
Then I realized where we were. We were alone. No one could hear us. Before I could talk myself out of it, I said it.
"Look, I like you a lot. I don't even know if this concept even exists anymore, but Glenn and Maggie pulled it off. So, will you go out with me?"
She looked confused for a second. Then she looked happy.
"Of course," she said.
I smiled like an idiot and she laughed at me. I hugged her. She kissed me on the cheek. Before I could return the favor, we were interrupted yet again by Daryl.
"Your dad and I are going on a run. You in?"
I look over to Mia and she nods. She gives me another peck on the cheek before I leave. When Mia is safely out of earshot, we start to talk.
"What was that about?" he asks.
"I asked her out. And she said yes," I reply
He looks surprised.
"Look who put his big boy britches on!" he says.
I smile.
Alright guys. I think I might've done this a little too soon, but writing is about risk, right? Wrong? Please review! ~A.C~
