I could tell that Daryl was struggling to explain to me how he felt. It was kind of adorable, but I would never tell him that. I was still shocked by his actions and words. Gone were the days of him calling me baggage. Now it seemed he genuinely cared for me. I felt warm inside as he explained himself. Here was Daryl Dixon, a tough as nails redneck, explaining how he didn't want to have sex with me because he respected me too much to have my first time be in an inebriated state of mind. He couldn't even say the word sex. This may seem silly, but in a strange way Daryl was the most respectful guy I'd been with. I knew Jimmy would have given anything to get it in with me. But Daryl, Daryl actually made me feel like I was worth more to him than just a fuck buddy in this god-forsaken hell on earth.
I smiled at him. "I get it Daryl. Thanks." With that, I leaned in and gave him a soft kiss on his stubbled cheek. We spent the afternoon in bed too, drinking water and talking, trying to get rid of our hangovers together.
