Awkwardness
Beth glanced over at Daryl on the other side of the fire. God, things had been so awkward all day, and the rest of the group could feel it too, but they weren't saying anything. Daryl looked up at her, sensing her watching him and she quickly looked away with a blush on her face. What was wrong with her? So they'd had sex, big deal, it didn't need to be this awkward…unless he realized it was a big mistake and he was feeling guilty about it. She rubbed her face. She really hoped that wasn't the reason. She really liked Daryl, and she had really enjoyed what they did the night before. She just didn't know how she was supposed to act around him and it was driving her crazy.
She sighed and put her food aside before getting up and heading to her tent. "Beth?" She stopped and looked at him as he chased after her. "Can we talk for a second?" he asked. Beth nodded her head, staring at the ground. The silence stretched on and on. She sighed and fidgeted, got just get it out. He tipped her chin up and leaned in and kissed her. Beth just stared up at him.
"Wh-what was that for?" she asked.
He frowned a bit, blushing and looking away. "You didn't want me to?"
"N-no, I did, I just…Daryl things have been so awkward."
He nodded his head. "I know." He shrugged his shoulders and glanced back towards the group. "Didn't know if you wanted to keep it a secret or not."
Beth smiled a little and looked at him. "Do you?" she asked. He shook his head slowly. "Then who cares?" She threw her arms around him and kissed him. Daryl groaned and picked her up, cupping hers ass in his hands. They both ignored the catcalls coming from the group who were watching them.
