Rick

Rick couldn’t help but continue to smile at her words. “Oh.. Is it because I’m a Daddy, huh?” He smiled, “Strip search? Well, now you’re making me sure she’s a bad judge of character. I better take you into the other room and make sure you’re safe,” rick smiled at her as he moved to get up. “Let me call carol, she’ll look after Judith for me,”

Rick smiled as he looked at the hand on his knee and then listened to her talk again. “Crush?” He asked, almost forgetting what one of them was.. They were of the old world before, and Alexandria gave them hope. “Thank you,” he said, smiling at her words.. at his kids.

“I think she likes you too.. But we’re not convinced she’s a good judge of character, so I may have to take you to a room and screen you. For all our safety,”

“yeah crush.  I know it’s lame.”  Shy wasn’t something ray was.  She said it like it was.  She liked Rick.  It was hard not to.  “Ya are annoyingly cute n I get butterflies n you can make me blush which is super annoyin’.  No one ever managed that before but I think it’s the whole daddy thin’.”  Saying that just made her embarrassed.  “I’m makin’ a fool of myself.  I hardly think ya should thank me for that.”

“Oh god I’m sorry!” Beth blushed hot as she backed away. “I didn’t know you were still in here! I thought…. The words trailed off while she looked the opposite direction. “Sorry, Mister Grimes? It is Grimes, Yeah? Sorry, just…”

Rick couldn’t help but smile as he moved to sit down beside her, shaking his head as he looked towards Judith. “I guess what I want doesn’t matter,” he said, as he looked at his daughter, even though it wasn’t quite what they were talking about or getting at.. But it was honest. It mattered more about his kids, not him.

“Company is a start I guess”

Rachael was a bit surprised.  It was like a flip switched in him and he went full daddy mode.   That was fine with her, she would never cross that line but his line of thinking was all wrong.  She turned slightly to him.  “Ya are wrong.  what you want does matter….  Look ya are a wonderful father n a great leader who has lead this group this far.  Alexandria is a place ta put down roots but it’s pointless if ya aren’t happy Rick.”  She placed her hand on his knee.  “Wanna know why I flirt?”  Ray was a flirty person but always more with him.  “Cause for the first time in my existence I have a crush on ya cause ya are a good man.”  She leaned over to kiss his forehead.

“Right.. right.. where are my manners?” He asked as he stepped aside, holding his door open for her “come on in,” he said, as his eyes couldn’t help but look the woman up and down. She was attractive herself, and rick enjoyed the flirting.

“Can I get you anything? A water, perhaps?”

She nodded before walking into his home.  She walked right passed him to go sit by Judith and play with her.  She was still very small so thankfully she had no idea what was going on.  “Are you on the menu?”  She teased before shaking her head.  “I’m good but I do need a shower eventually.”  She moved so he could sit down beside her.

“I’m afraid not, those cuffs are somewhere on a rooftop, if you wanna go find them” he smiled at her, “you’re just looking at me like I’m a piece of meat?” He questioned, laughing as he was only joking.

“Mm that’s temptin’ but ropes n belts work jus as well.”  This was the most she had ever seen him smile.  It was a nice change of pace to his usual burly side.  “Maybe I was.  I jus haven’t decided ta bite yet.”  Her tone was light to show she wasn’t serious.  She didn’t see him as meat but he was nice to look at.  “Are ya gonna keep flirtin’ or invite me in cause I mean I’ve been standin’ here long enough it’s weird now.  Least if ya invite me in it’s less obvious that I’m flirtin’ with ya.”

Rick couldn’t help but have a big grin.. It wasn’t always you’ll have a pretty lady come up and say that to you, at least not in this world.. “I get that, and we can, barter I mean..” he smiled,

“Be careful I don’t want to arrest you for harassment,” the man joked, as he looked down to his jeans. “It’s a tough world now and I can’t exactly get them made to measure now, can I?”

She raised a brow at that then sighed.  “Aw I just thought ya were gonna stop at I can…  cause y’know that would have been much better.  Let my mind wander.”  She teased with a smile.  “But barterin’ is almost as good.  Better I can make it feel good for you too.”

“This is good,” rick said smiling as he took the lists, looking at it, and then up to her. She offered to look after his daughter, “I don’t know, I mean, it’s not like I can pay you” rick said, laughing as money was something that used to mean the world, but not in this one. Money was nothing to these people. It was all about supplies, and survival now.

“Spending time with a child is precious, and should be payment enough?” Rick commented further, trying to push his luck.

“Or maybe there’s already something in your mind, you know you want from me. Is there?”

“It’s a barterin’ system now officer.”  Money wasn’t important but that would be something she wanted anyways.  She enjoyed her time with Judith.  Mostly everyone did which is why everyone was more than happy to watch her while Rick saved the day or whatever.  “Y’know it’s a good system.”  Rick offered insight and protection for them and she was grateful for it.

“I do enjoy watchin’ her but part of why I do it is selfish.”  She wasn’t going to lie about that.  “I mean I get ta check you out so that’s nice.”  

“How many have you put down?”

“Any canned food left?”

“I’m thinking while it’s quiet, now is a good time to do some scavenging.”

“GET DOWN!”

*whispers* “I see movement.”

“Do you hear an engine?”

“Shoot ‘em in the dead. Make sure they’re dead.”

“You’re not hurt, are you?”

“How did you end up over here?”

“Going into the city is suicide.”

“Look what I found!”

“How long have you been out here?”

“Don’t you move!”

“I saw your fire… can I join you?”

“I’m not sure going into that warehouse is a good idea.”

“This looks like a good place to stay.”

“Before we relax, make sure the area is clean.”

“I think we’re going to be okay.”

“You need to look before you leap.”

“There’s no room for error anymore. We gotta get this right.”

“Good thing about winter is they freeze solid.”

“Do you ever think about all the chemicals and things that are no longer being dealt with?”

Rachael had been in Alexandria for awhile before Rick’s group came in.  It didn’t take long for things to change and honestly she liked the new changes.  It felt more organized and better for them.  Safer too which was a big deal since there were still little ones around.  Most of the people in the community new very little of surviving outside of the walls but Ray had more experience so she was eager to go on runs.  She liked working and keeping busy.  She tended to volunteer a lot to go with Daryl cause he knew his shit and he didn’t annoy her and she didn’t mind Rosita all that much.  The only one she didn’t particularly like was Eugene but luckily he didn’t go outside a lot.  He was better there using his brains and making lists.

She had been on a run gathering things for a couple days and when they finally got back the only thing she was looking forward to was a shower and to relax for a bit.  First stop was inventory.  Denise was there to take everything and make a list.  It only took a few moments before she headed to let rick know since he needed to be in the loop about everything but their leader and all.

“Spending time with a child is precious, and should be payment enough?” Rick commented further, trying to push his luck.

❝Don’t you know? I’ll end you if you look at me the wrong way.❞

❝ You don’t own me!❞

❝Cry..do it. I can’t wait to get off on it.❞

❝Didn’t you hear me? I told you to shut up!❞

❝Did you think I would let you see another person? Really?❞

❝You deserve this. You deserve it. Don’t kid yourself.❞

❝I can’t wait to see you bleed. It’s only a tenth of how I feel.❞

❝I can’t stand to see you. Get up and leave. And clean up this mess before you do.❞

❝If you’re going to stand there, the least you could do is be useful.❞

❝If you died, the world would be a better place.❞

❝I’m worthless. I’ll never measure up to your expectations.❞

❝I can’t do this anymore–!Stop!!❞

❝Do you want me to make it better? Too bad.❞

❝I loved you! I loved you..why..?❞

❝Why are you doing this to me??!❞

❝It hurts–stop it! STOP IT!❞

❝I am useful–if you think you can talk to me this way, you have another thing coming!❞

❝I hate you! I HATE YOU!❞

❝Get AWAY FROM ME!❞
