Use Somebody
Daryl watched her walk around, cleaning up after him and Merle. She had wanted a job for the summer and somehow it had lasted well into the semester. He was beginning to wonder if she was ever going to leave, and dreading the day she might. He was starting to fall for her. He'd been lonely for a while, just going through life, looking for someone to share his miserable existence with. He hadn't realized he'd been looking for someone like her until recently. She was a brightness in his dark world. The things she said, and the way she moved, he was just drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He couldn't help it.
She walked back into the house after taking the trash out and looked at him. "You need to get off this couch and go find someone," she told him. She'd been trying to get him out there to find someone since the day she started. "You're too good looking of a man to be here alone."
He got up and walked over to her, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her against him. "I could use somebody like you," he whispered, staring down into her storm blue eyes. He really hoped she would realize that she could use somebody like him. Maybe he was getting his hopes up, but he didn't want to see the day she left without even trying to make her his.
She smiled slowly, a blush on her cheeks. Her hands ran up his arms until they met behind his neck. "Okay." She leaned up on her toes and kissed him.
