Carol was ready, teeth brushed, makeup on and hair done. Dressed warmly, Sophia was in the car seat with a warm all in one on that was like a little pink rabbit onesie that you could pull the hood up on, it had her feet covered. It was already starting to get dark and cooler outside, she had her baby bag packed for the night. Carol had packed a bag for herself for the night. She wasn't sure if that was what was happening or not but they were moving forward and they would probably go with Daryl to his house than the little flat. There had been whispers of a few drinks later in the evening at the Dixon place.
Daryl arrived back quickly pulling his truck into the garage jumping out and gathering up baby supplies and the pram putting it in the back. He clicked Sophia's seat into the back seat and come around to talk to Carol.
'You got the Carrier thingy?' Daryl jestered to her front. Carol shook her head.
'Might be warmer for her to be there? And we can keep her with us if we go dance and stuff, everyone will go dancing we don't want to leave her sleeping by the tables.' Daryl told her. Carol nodded going into the baby room and getting it, grabbing another warmer hat and blanket.
'You going to talk to me tonight or what?' Daryl asked as he took the baby carrier from her. Carol nodded and blushed a little. Daryl looked at her again. Fuck it! Daryl thought as he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around her and leaned in for the kiss he wanted all day. Carol was hesitant at first but she soon granted him access to her mouth as his tongue met hers.
He quickly had her backed up against the truck with his knee wedged between her legs running a hand up her back and under her shirt seeking out her bare skin, another trailed down her back to her butt and he grinded himself against her. She groaned into his mouth and he was hard up against her and on of her hands went to the top of his jean inching up under his shirt feeling his warm skin on his fingertips. She pressed her hand flat against his stomach and one behind him up the back of his shirt, he shivered towards her touch.
Daryl pulled back a little to take a breath, Carol looked in his eyes and there was no mistake of what he wanted and what was on his mind, she could feel it pressed hard up against her.
'Fuck,' he shook his head and pulled away, the kiss had only lasted a minute but it had change the playing field of how their relationship was defined and where it was going. It was going to be fireworks in the bedroom they both knew it.
'Sophia,' Carol whispered, Daryl looked over her shoulder into the truck she was fine chewing on her fingers contented.
'She's fine, ummm we better go,' Daryl opened the door of the truck to help her in, 'I need to stop at the service station.' Daryl told her.
'What for?' Carol asked him.
'Ummmm well just in case, we , I don't have anything, so we don't make any...' Daryl indicated towards Sophia.
'Bathroom,' Carol told him.
'I forgot, can I get some?' Daryl asked her. Carol gave a slight nod.
To be honest Carol didn't know the correct protocol to sleeping with someone, She was jumping from one man to the next. Not that she was with Ed but the town folks didn't know any better.
'Don't, Don't worry about them, we do want we want not what people want us to do, if we want to we are grown ups,' Daryl told her, 'If we don't want to we don't.'
Daryl moved away walking through the garage door to the bathroom, he knew there were condoms there because he had snooped but he didn't want Carol to know he knew because she might think he asked Andrea to get them. Andrea just liked to plan ahead. He looked through the selection she had brought and he took half, and he left half, he didn't want to be cut short at any place should there relationship go to the next level. He didn't know for sure Carol wanted to take that leap or not yet.
He shoved them into her bag in the back of the truck and drove down towards the park, when they arrived, he talked Carol into wearing Sophia and he would carry her bag because people were already out dancing that pushing the pram through the crowds could frustrating. He watched as Carol Strapped the baby to her pulling up her hood, tucking the blanket around her and pulling her coat on over top of it all, Daryl reached out for her hand and he lead the way back to their group. Rick and Lori were the only two there, Lori was on Rick's lap and they were making out. There baby sound asleep in his pram near by.
Carol had to look twice in the dark because she was almost sure by the way they had the blanket wrapped around them that she was actually doing more that just sitting on his lap facing him, she was certain they were having sex. Carol nudged Daryl and indicated towards them he looked at them and shook his head then said 'Probably, they do shit like that.'
