A/N: Thanks everyone for your reviews! A guest asked me about the living situation. Michonne lives with Rick and Daryl lives by himself.

Rick's POV

Yesterday Michonne came home from work late. I said we needed to talk; I dreaded telling her what I did but I didn't want to hide anything. We sat on the couch and I told her I kissed Jessie at the welcome party; she slapped me and it went to hell from there. After receiving multiple low blows, in the heat of the moment I told her I had feelings for Jessie. I didn't want to tell her at that moment but I wanted her to feel the same pain I felt. Hearing those words she punched the wall; I never seen her so angry.

She claimed to have given me multiple opportunities to take it to the next level. I was too heated to even comprehend her words. As we kept yelling at each other she then said I was using her as a sex doll because my wife was dead; I didn't know how to respond. Not sure what came over me but once she tried walking away from me I pinned her against the wall. When I looked into her glassy eyes I saw the hurt I caused, so I kissed her.

Oddly she deepened the kiss, wrapping her arms around me, pulling me closer to her. It felt like she was taking my breath away as she stuck her tongue further in my mouth; then we found ourselves on the couch. Then she pushed me away, she said she didn't want anything to do with me anymore and just left.

After that I just sat down to think about what just happened. Then it came to me, when we were trying to find terminus. When Carl was sleep in the car we set up a small fire and began talking. She told me she loved me and wondered if there could be something more between us. I told her I don't know if I could love someone again. She held my hand and said let me show you, and that's when we got ambushed.

Then I also thought about how I have strong feelings for Jessie; I'm basically torn between two women. At that moment I needed to apologize to Michonne. That quickly changed when I found her having sex with Daryl in the fields. It reminded me of Lori and Shane, except Michonne wasn't my women. Later on I went to check on the wall but got caught off guard once again, seeing the two of them embracing each other under the shower head. That look she gave me while Daryl kissed her really angered me even more. She's still mine. It's not over between us.

The next morning Michonne was able to dodge a bullet since Rick wasn't home. She wanted to take a short walk before going to work; it's still early in the morning and quiet. Approaching the end of the street she saw Rick standing on Jessie's porch shirtless. Judging the sweat dripping from his hair she knew he had sex with her.

"Go straight to hell Rick" She mumbled. Continuing her walk to work she realized she still had feelings for him, but that quickly turned to anger knowing she opened up to him, spreads her legs multiple times for him and he still made no effort to make her his woman. She knew at that moment she needed a way to have the upper hand.

At work she managed to avoid him most of the time. With the look she had on her face Maggie automatically knew something bothered her. When she tried talking to her Michonne didn't say anything about what she saw earlier. During the usual Meeting Deanna made the decision to cut it short.

"Rick your taking a shift in the guard tower" Deanna ordered. After he left she pulled her aside.

"Hey Michonne, why don't you take an hour lunch break, you look like you could use it"

"Yeah" She replied.

Daryl came back from another failed recruiting mission. His mood changed when he saw Michonne sitting on Deanna's porch with her head down and her leg trembling.

"Michonne" When she didn't respond he lifted her head up; only to see her crying. At that moment he grabbed her hand and walked her to his bike. During the ride she had her arms wrapped around Daryl's waist and laid her head on his back; enjoying the softness of the angel wings on his jacket.

When she opened her eyes they arrived at an abandoned shop. After Daryl killed a few lingering walkers they walked through the building to get to the roof; the inside of the shop had wilted flowers scattered everywhere. Once on the roof they sat next to each other, looking out at their surroundings.

"Why did you bring me here?" She asked.

"Don't like seein' you sad" He held her and placed a small sunflower in her palm.

"Would have got ya some flowers but there dead" She smiled at his attempt to be romantic. She moved closer to him and laid her head on his shoulder. After remaining quiet for a while she broke the silence.

"Can I stay at your house?"

"Yeah, Don't worry" Feeling relieved she pulled him down with her and kissed him.

"Thank you" She whispered against his lips. They embraced each other in a deep, passionate kiss.

Later that night Michonne went to Daryl's house to get ready for another party Deanna put together. She sat on the edge of the bed to fix her shirt.

"Are you sure you don't wanna go?" She asked while adjusting her straps.

"I want do some work on that motorcycle in Aaron's garage. Probably drop by later"

"Fine, just have fun without you" That sarcastic tone didn't sit well with him. He walked closer to her.

"Sayin' earlier wasn't fun?" He questioned. Instead of answering she started tickling him. He pinned her on her back to try tickling her back.

At the party Michonne mingled with a few guests. She seemed happy for the moment until Jessie and Rick walked in together. Rick locked eyes with Michonne for a minute, until he started kissing Jessie.

"Are you alright" The women asked. Michonne walked away and came across a decent bottle of wine. After Maggie finished talking to Glenn she saw her slumped back on the couch with her wine glass. She grabbed the bottle and realized it was half empty.

"Let me take you home" Maggie offered.

"No, I'm fine okay, just gonna take a walk"

Once leaving the party she stumbled around the town. Not getting very far she fell on the steps of a house and took another swig of her drink. Before blacking out she saw someone coming towards her.

Who's the mystery person? To be continued…
