Daryl was tapping his fingers on the dash of Merles truck he was driving slow on purpose and Daryl knew it, they just dropped off Rick to his house and Merle was taking his slow sweet time getting to Carol's place. Daryl knew he smelt bad but he wanted to go straight to them. He all but leaped out of the truck before it even stopped grabbing his bag out of the back telling Merle he would be out home later to help clean up the Deer they got.

He saw his truck in the drive way, he hoped she hadn't gone out for a walk or something. She looked up at him from feeding Sophia on the couch when he come in. The smile on her face.

'Your back,' She announced. He moved in to hug her, excited to see them both, she wrinkled her nose at his smell.

'I know I stink, I'm gona shower,' She lifted her face so he could kiss her, she wrapped her hand around his shirt keeping him there sniffing again.

'Is it skunk?' she asked him.

'Its just a tiny bit on my socks, I'll take my clothes off in the garage,' He wandered off to the garage stripping down, throwing his socks away, putting the rest in the machine with three times the amount of washing powder then, turning it onto a heavy load. He was going to have to wash it all twice he was sure.

He wandered back through the flat, his smell was mainly his clothes that smelt bad. He was starving for real food, he pulled open the fridge to set about making himself a sandwich.

'Ummmm Daryl, you not going to make bacon sandwiches are you?' Carol teased him, he shook his head putting peanut butter in some bread heading to the bathroom to shower.

'Did you miss me?' Daryl stuck his head back out around the door of the lounge looking at her, she nodded, pointing towards the bathroom.

'You stink, please, I can't, not till you shower.' Carol told him.

He gave her a wink looked into the bedroom then went to shower. By the time he come out Carol had put Sophia to bed for a sleep. She come into the bedroom to talk with him. He was wrapped in a towel looking at her. She walked up to give him a hug. He felt great in her arms.

She went up on her tippee toes to kiss him. 'Did you have a nice time?'

'Not really, Rick and Merle in a tent after eating beans not a great time, missed you though,' Daryl told her, 'Gotta go home to help Merle clean up some meat, you wanna come?'

'Hmmm maybe,' She fell back onto the bed as he kissed her harder he went down with her moving his kiss to her neck.

'Carol?' Daryl asked her, 'Did you stay at home this weekend?'

'Yeah, just me and Soph, why?' Carol looked surprised that he would ask.

He reached above her under her pillow pulling out a box of chocolates and a little note he had left her. Putting them on her chest as evidence that she didn't stay at home, he looked into her eyes and she giggled.

'For me?' Carol asked him.

'For you, where did you go? My place?' Daryl asked, Carol nodded that he was correct. 'So let me guess while I was in a smelly tent, you were in the spa with Andrea?'

'And Lori,' Carol whispered.

'Lori too, you lot made us feel bad about going and you all had a girly weekend,' He pulled up her hand seeing her painted fingernails and brought her finger tips to his mouth. 'I had to sleep with Merle and Rick and you slept like a starfish, in my bed,' he teased her, kissing her neck.

He helped her out of her clothes to get to know her a little better, he missed her over the weekend and his body moved with hers quickly. He opened the box of chocolates and popped one in his mouth to chew on, he rolled onto his back with her, pulling open her drawers to get a condom, rolling in on he helped her climb onto him. Giving her the nod that it was ok for her to enjoy it.

Carol was bashful about sex not really knowing if she was doing the right thing or not. By Daryl's face and the noises he was making she was sure she was doing it right. She come down hard on him, he was rubbing at her clit with one hand and fondling a breast with another. She fell down flat at his chest as he came. Kissing him hard, rolling off him, drawing him to her side kissing him. She missed him heaps and he wasn't mad or upset she went to his house for a girls weekend either.
