Omggg I'm so glad your requests are finally open 🥺 I've read you work in the past month and I have really really loved it so so much. The three of us is one of my favourites, the ending was so unexpected and Toying time is my favorite one shot!!
The request:- so the reader is a cinematography student and Norman (can he be a bad boy please) sees her first time on the set of Boondocks and she has this very shy innocent vibe and Norman begins to flirt with her and basically corrupts her😈 tries out all his kinks on her (lots of smut please 🤪) and she is also so deep in this relationship with Norman that slowly slowly she basically starts to do stuff for Norman (as in put his needs before her, basically changes her entire style and starts dressing up for him and just does everything to please him) and after the filming for Boondocks wraps up he leaves without a call or goodbye :(
Ik the ending is kinda eh but you can change it if you don't like this idea.
Please take my request 🤲🥺
also can the reader be 20 and Norman 10 years older than her, if that's comfortable with you ofc
Hi Anon!!
Okay, first of all, as I said, I'm so sorry it took me so long! But I would see that Murphy/Norman face and it was so hard for me to get started, because.... just look at him!
BUT I finally did it! I didn't specify ages, sorry, but I tried to cover everything you asked for and maybe I let my perverted mind fly a little bit....
Anyway I hope you like it, that you enjoy it and it's at least a little bit what you expected.
Thank you very much for the request!
My Good Girl.

(I don't know if this can be called Dark Norman, but just in case I warn you all.)
Words:
4000.
Summary: You're obsessed with Norman, he knows it and he wants to play with you. But he has his own rules.
Norman is exhausted, it's been a long day, they are finishing shooting The Boondock Saints movie and that night he went with Sean to celebrate, they had a few beers while he had dinner and then escaped to a bar to continue the party. Norman is not drunk, but he feels the happy bubbling of alcohol in his blood. He has to go to sleep, he has to get up early tomorrow morning to continue shooting the rest of the movie, but when he arrives at the trailer door to rest, a smile appears on his mouth.
He knows you are waiting for him. As he has asked you to do. You two met at the beginning of the film. You are a film student trainee and Norman immediately caught your attention. Those blue eyes and mischievous smile seemed to hide an innocence that was pure theater. At first you wanted to be professional and tried to ignore him, you dedicated yourself to your work as an intern, kept your distance because you were trying to be professional and maybe earn a place in the industry in the future, however the man's gaze was always on you and when your gazes coincided a kind and shy smile would form on his mouth.
Of course all that innocence was a mask to his true personality, Norman was a dominant and demanding man, with a marked game that he didn't mind putting into practice with you from day one, when you finally dared to confess, Norman had known it for a long time, his ego was imposing and he never missed a target.
"Do you like me?" he asked you with a crooked smile. "Good, get down on your knees and suck my cock." He ordered you staring at you, without a hint of teasing in his gaze.
Thus, little by little he absorbed your consciousness, dominating your will, making you dependent on him. Yet you still had a lot to learn.
When Norman opens the door of the trailer and finds you asleep on the couch his smile fades a little, but he relaxes a little. He's still molding you to his liking, but there's not long before the shooting is over and he feels a certain pity for you. He undoes the tie he's wearing and wraps it in his hand as he walks to the couch leaning towards you, his lips brushing your cheek causing you to sigh in your sleep.
"I'm back..." He whispers in your ear and you slowly wake up.
"Norman..." You open your eyes slowly seeing him watching you with tense serenity, his jaw slightly clenched.
"I thought you were waiting for me." He says matter-of-factly, without raising his tone, he dowsn't need to, hw knows that this game must have an absolute basis of trust and comfort from both of you despite how dominant he may be.
"S-sorry... it was late and I..." You don't know how to defend yourself, you know you have disobeyed and even if he forgives you or understands, there will be punishment.
Norman shushes you with a soft hiss that escapes between his lips and strokes your hair as you sit on the couch. He is gentle, his caresses reassure you, you know you can put yourself in his hands, that he will never really hurt you. You never thought that 'world' would be made for you, you had always been a submissive girl, but not to that extent, yet Norman had you in the palm of his hand from the first look you shared.
"I understand, the party with Sean ran a little long." He admits, it's his way of apologizing without actually doing it. "But I gave you an order..."
"I know, I'm sorry..." You repeat wanting to look away, but Norman holds your cheeks so you don't lower your head, to see his gaze turn dark and your body shudder. "Norman..."
"Get on your knees." He shushes you. You nod and when he releases you slide off the couch kneeling in front of him, you tremble nervously, your gaze pinned to the floor, now you know your every movement is controlled by him. "I'm going to take a shower." He doesn't need to add anything else, without moving you hear him walk away and lock himself in the bathroom of the caravan.
Your pulse unconsciously quickens, your body reacts to the sound of the shower water and you bite your lip, repositioning yourself into a more comfortable position. You know Norman must be exhausted, but he's not going to go to bed until he's finished with you. At that thought you feel your core slowly getting wetter and wetter.
Norman takes his time in the bathroom, not out of pure cleanliness, but to make you desperate, you need discipline, so he leaves you there on your knees longer than he actually spends under the shower. When he comes out a smile forms on his mouth as you are still in the same place, in the same position he has left you. He takes a deep breath focusing on his own role and leans against the door frame. He sees your body react, but you don't move, you wait for him to tell you what to do. Norman slowly approaches and his hand again strokes your hair, his fingers tangling through the strands of your hair, your skin crawls with goosebumps at the sensation, but you stifle a sigh of satisfaction.
"Good girl..." He whispers, your heart hammers harder inside your chest, you feel the urge to look at him, but you control yourself in time.
"Th-thank you, sir..." You whisper just as he does. Norman's smile widens, your words hitting straight into his cock, your soft, nervous voice winning out over his common sense.
"But remember, you disobeyed me..."
"I'm sorry... Are you angry, sir?" you ask with pure innocence and Norman's fingers twitch in your hair for a second.
"Disappointed." He speaks at last, his voice a deeper tone.
"I'm sorry, sir..." You repeat again and he hums in the affirmative.
"I know, but today your apology is not enough for me." Norman tugs lightly on your hair to make you look up. You swallow as you see the obvious bulge under the towel around his waist. "You're going to have to show me how sorry you are. Today has been a very good day, and I'd hate for it to be ruined now." He assures you and you shake your head.
"No, sir." You assure him before grabbing the towel and pulling it off slowly releasing his erection before your eyes.
His cock dances as the cloth disappears completely freeing it, he's not fully hard yet, but his size makes you salivate and your pussy squirts. You lick your lips circling his length with your hand, slowly jerking him up and down, not taking your eyes off his red head that pops up every time you stretch his skin, you feel it harden more against your palm and you are unable to stifle a sigh. Norman chuckles at the sight of your desperation, his fingers close over your hair guiding you to his cock.
"You're craving it, and you know I don't like to repeat myself, girl." He tells you once more and you moan low.
"Yes, sir." You whisper against his skin before sticking your tongue out and licking the tip.
Norman's legs tense up stifling his own urges, your tongue runs all over his size, making sure to lubricate it with your saliva, moving your hand still, you open your mouth and catch the tip of his cock, you lick and suck a little harder, the pre cum fluid squirts onto your tongue making you purr with pleasure, Norman gasps at the sensation and doesn't look away from you. It has always been a spectacle for him to watch you try to catch all of his cock in your mouth, never successfully, but he appreciates your effort. Your lips wrap around his hard, thick cock bobbing your head up and down, sucking, licking, moving your hand where you can't reach, striving to please him, wanting him to forget your punishment. But you know that's not going to happen. As he pleasure takes over Norman's body he moves his hips in time with your mouth, thrusting in a little deeper, his tip crashing against the beginning of your throat, you've learned to control the reflex and when you feel his hand lock tighter in your hair, you relax and let him fuck your mouth the way he really needs to.
"Oh fuck, girl, your mouth feels so good around my cock." He growls pinning his gaze on you, you can't see it, but you can feel it. He grunts as you purr against his cock, the vibration of your throat running up and down his length. "Shit..." He gasps voicelessly as he feels himself about to cum.
His hand clenches tighter on your head and he pushes deeper into your mouth. You close your eyes feeling a retch almost overpower you, but you control it as you feel his cum fill your mouth, trickling down your throat without resistance. The choking sensation scares you for a second, your nose almost brushes against his pubic hair, it's the first time you manage to take so much in your mouth and your lungs burn in search of oxygen that doesn't reach them properly. Your eyes fill with tears as you raise your eyes pleading for Norman to let go. The man doesn't move, his gaze connects with yours and there's a crooked smile on his mouth.
"Hang in there, sweetheart. We both know you're capable of it." He flatters you, but he moves a little, a minimal move to let your lungs fill enough. He only pulls his cock fully out of your mouth when it starts to go limp, several strands of cum and saliva slide from your mouth and chin to the floor, the air enters your body completely and you need a few seconds to compose yourself, you are shaking, and feel your throat burning, but your thighs are soaking wet and you feel your body extremely sensitive now. Norman holds your chin again and wipes the remnants of cum from your mouth with his thumb, you don't let him pull away too far, you open your mouth and clean his finger with your tongue, sucking on it, Norman's smile widens once again. "Such a good girl..." He whispers again. "But we've only just begun, haven't we? You remember I asked you to wait for me, and you haven't." Your body shudders, but you nod, again your gaze drops to the floor. "I can't hear you."
"Y-Yes, sir, I remember..."
"Good, and do you know what that means?"
"That I need a punishment..."
"Okay, take off your clothes, just leave your panties on." He orders you walking to the couch and sits there waiting for you to obey again.
Norman's patience has a very small limit when he is horny and has fully entered into his dominant personality, so you don't keep him waiting. Without looking at him you remove what little clothing you are wearing. You are actually wearing a short top with no bra and pajama shorts which you slide down your legs very slowly, you have turned around as you pull it down and it bends you over letting Norman see perfectly how wet your underwear is, you can hear him shifting on the couch knowing that the sight you are offering him is turning him on again. You walk slowly up to him, Norman spreads his legs a little apart and smacks his lap as his only command, you don't say anything either, you lay down on his legs and your ass is totally at his mercy. You get goose bumps as his hand caresses your buttocks slowly, reveling in it soft touch under his palm.
"Count for me." He says before his hand slaps your ass hard.
A gasp escapes your mouth at the sensation, but you do as he asks. He delivers several spanks to each of your buttocks, leaving them red, throbbing, hot. The last time his hand whips you your moan twists into a whimper, which makes Norman pause knowing you've reached your limit.
"Twenty..." You whisper in a breathy whisper, your whole body trembling on his legs. His fingers caress your skin again, but now the contact, though delicate, stings. Still you don't move, not wanting Norman to punish you again for refusing his touch.
You hiss and sigh as he leans in, his lips kissing your bruised buttocks, he purrs against your skin as his fingers slide under the fabric of your panties and your core is thoroughly wet, his fingertip sliding inside your unresisting pussy with a wet, obscene sound. You moan low wiggling your hips against his finger and his smile widens against the skin of your ass.
"Look at you, so desperate, do you need me so bad, girl?" he speaks to you, his free hand sliding up to your neck, pressing lightly into your flesh lifting you up, leaving you kneeling on the couch beside him, forcing you to look up at him. He leans you into him and his lips brush against yours, his tongue moistening them. "Tell me, do you need me that bad?"
"Y-yes, Norman... I need you." You gasp, closing your eyes, a tear escapes from them, but it is due to desperation and desire. The actor's gaze darkens dangerously he wants to tear you apart. He wants to ruin you. Turn you into a pleading mess.
His mouth collides against yours in a desperate kiss, his hand tightens a little tighter on your neck as his tongue bursts into your mouth controlling the kiss completely, you wrap your arms around his shoulders, tangling your fingers in his hair. His mouth runs down your neck now, licking your skin, biting, tugging at it, leaving teeth marks, little bruises that he knows you won't manage to cover up in full view of your partners and he loves that. He kisses you again with intensity, his tongue running along the inside of your mouth. You moan when he breaks away biting your lip, sucking hard, leaving them red and swollen.
"My room." He says matter-of-factly. "Wait for me there." He orders you, you nod your head before rising from the couch walking slowly towards the end of the trailer, your reddened ass the last thing his gaze catches as you disappear down the hallway.
Norman takes a deep breath in looking for his self control, that's his game, he's the one in control, yet your submission and compliance to everything he asks of you is overtaking him by a second. He knows that all this game has a limit, when the filming of the movie is over he will go back home and you will not see each other again, however he has a strange feeling under his skin every time he thinks about it. He chews his lip several times as his gaze meets the cross he uses in the film as Murphy. His pupils dilate, he gets up from the couch picking up the object playing with the balls of the rosary between his fingers, he smiles again going to his room where you wait for him.
You are lying on his bed, with your legs open, offering yourself totally to him, you still haven't taken off the last garment that still covers your body, you know you must not do it until Norman tells you, or he does it himself, you look at him out of the corner of your eye biting your thumb nail, waiting for him to say something. Norman studies you intently from the doorway of his room, grunts leaving the cross on his neck and moves to the edge of the bed.
"Turn around." He orders you. "On your knees, get your ass up." You obey his every instruction, your face hidden against the pillow, your knees digging into the mattress, your ass raised, dancing in the air for him. Norman watches as your buttocks take on an increasingly reddish hue, he caresses them, leaves several kisses on your skin still warm to the touch of his lips and you hiss, it stings, but you can take it. "Arms above your head." He tells you again. "I don't want you touching yourself at any time."
"Y-Yes, sir." You stretch your arms above your head holding onto the headboard of the bed.
Norman kneeling behind you plays with the fabric of your panties, grips and pulls at them hearing you moan softly as the fabric digs into your swollen and needy clit. A crooked smile forms on his lips as his mouth fills with water.
"So wet always for me..." The tip of his tongue licks his lips and he leans down brushing your pussy with the tip of his nose, enveloping himself in your scent, his nails dig into your bruised skin making you cry out in pain, but he is no longer reached by your voice, totally immersed in his own desire.
His fingers catch the edges of your panties and tug at them until they are tangled around your knees. His tongue licks your pussy catching your taste completely, licks, runs his tongue up and down your slit, sucks on your clit and even squeezes it between his teeth, your moans echo in the room as your knuckles turn white as you grip the headboard of the bed tightly.
"Feels good, doesn't it, girl? You love it when I fuck you with my tongue." You can't move, that's been Norman's command and you're finding it very hard to obey every time his tongue slides over your core or slips inside your pussy.
"No... Norman, I'm... I'm so close..." You warn him, your voice cracking and your breathing quickening.
"No, not yet." He warns you and stops leaving you brushing against your ecstasy falling frustratingly. You gasp and groan against the pillow, but you know you can't protest. "I'm not done with you yet."
He pulls away from you as he lays you down on the bed and gets rid of your panties completely, before throwing them on the bedroom floor his nose buries itself in the fabric again and he grunts masturbating with them, marching them off with his own pre-cum. You gasp at the sight of him and spread your legs once more, you want to touch yourself, but hold back, your clit pulsing cruelly and painfully. Norman pulls your panties, crawling up to you, the cross of his neck brushes your skin, his cool touch giving you goose bumps. Norman turns you on your side and lies down behind you. Your leg wraps around his waist, your arm around his neck tangling back into his hair, his chest completely against your back, his hand guides his cock to your entrance, he slowly pushes himself until his tip is inside you. You both gasp at the sensation. Norman holds your leg now, pulling them further apart, looking for the right angle, his free hand grips your neck, squeezing, giving you a choking sensation, but you can handle it. You are pushed fully against his body and his hips move hard and all at once, burying all of his long, thick cock inside you. The position causes you to stretch and dilate in ways you've never felt before, his fat cock making his way inside you. The moan that escapes your mouth is one of pleasure and pain, your hand tightens on the wrist holding your neck, but he doesn't stop. Finding the perfect rhythm, he keeps ramming into you, his breathing quickening, his grunts and gasps falling heavy against your ear, his cock sinking deep inside you, making you moan in desperation, digging your nails into his hand as you feel your orgasm building again in your stomach.
Norman feels it too, your pussy clenching around his cock wanting to keep him inside as much as possible. A smile forms on his mouth as he pulls your head back a little further biting your cheek, you gasp and moan in frustration, his hips moving slower and slower until he stops inside you.
"No, no... please, please..." You beg desperately wanting to move against his cock, but his grip on your neck is firmer, dangerous and that scares you for a second.
"Not.Yet." He growls against your ear in a dark tone and you nod nervously.
Norman releases you, letting you breathe normally again, his cock slipping out of you as he settles in behind you, tossing your hair to the side as he tries to put his rosary on, but in that position it's tricky. You sit up to look at him and take the object and place it around your neck, the cross falls perfectly between your breasts, the spheres of the necklace feel cold against your skin, but you know Norman likes the way it looks on you as his pupils catch all the blue in his eyes. Norman says nothing, but pulls you down on top of him, he lines his cock up against your pussy and you sit on it again feeling it stretch you deep, finding a new pleasurable spot inside you that you never knew about. Norman grunts and holds you by the waist, his fingers digging into your skin.
"Come on, girl, ride me, show me how much you love my cock. Show me how much you want to cum." He tells you in a full rock voice and you moan.
Your hands rest on his legs letting him see your body completely, at first you move your hips slowly, in small circles, looking for the right rhythm, you see Norman tense his jaw and frown as the rhythm of your hips quickens, he doesn't want to miss the slightest detail even though the pleasure is intense for him too. His fingers clench tighter around your waist and help you move more urgently on him. You moan, throwing your head back and abandoning yourself to your own pleasure. Norman can't take his eyes off you, the cross bouncing and dancing on your skin as your tits bounce with each thrust of his hips offering him a show that pushes him to the edge of his limit. He groans through his teeth closing his eyes for a second, his fingers clawing at your skin, convinced he will leave a good mark on your hips, though he doesn't really care.
"Norman... Norman please..." Your voice catches his attention again and he sees the desperation in your eyes. "Please..."
"Cum, sweetheart." He gives you permission at last. "Cum on my cock, I want to feel you squeeze me and soak me." He growls in a hoarse voice and you can't hold it in any longer.
Your moan is loud and prolonged, you arch over him throwing your head back, you squeeze your tits with your arms absorbing the cross between them, your body trembles, your thighs jerk violently and you cum soaking his length, your pussy clenching and trapping his cock inside you, feeling your walls never stop vibrating around his cock. Norman has to make a real effort to control himself not to let go and not cum too. He catches you as your body feels exhausted on top of him, carefully pulls out of you and lays you down on the bed again. Face down he forces you to lift your hips again by getting next to you behind you. His cock rubs against your pussy which is still recovering from the spasms of your pleasure and he pushes himself inside you in one stroke once again. The new angle makes you both moan, your quivering insides receive it tightening in step with his intrusion, Norman groans through his teeth holding you by your waist and starts ramming hard and fast behind you. He knows he's on the edge and won't last long. The new position means that every time he thrusts, his cock accurately hits your g-spot making you moan and shudder, your mind clouded with pleasure, even feeling dizzy, but your hips react to his movement by following his rhythm and feeling a new orgasm bubble up in your stomach.
"Oh fuck..." It's the only warning he gives you, but you know he's going to cum, his cock trembles inside you, you clench tighter around him and his final thrust makes you see stars.
You cum again, clenching, jerking around his cock, Norman grunts and gasps, even feels slightly dizzy as he explodes inside you, his seed stretching your walls white, your insides quivering.
"Milk me, baby, that's it, let my cum fill you completely." He says in a raspy voice, trying to control his breathing. His body leans over yours, his arms braces against the bed to keep from dropping his whole body on top of yours, his breath hot against your ear. "Such a good girl..."
There are never too many words between you two after sex. Your encounter is over, any other time, Norman would leave or you would pick up your clothes and go, but Norman has a moment of weakness, as he would call it when he was conscious, and he traps you in his arms, covers you both with the sheets and presses you against his chest, his fingers playing with the rosary on your neck. You don't say anything, you let yourself do it and try your best to stay awake a little longer, treasuring in your mind the feeling of having Norman wrapped around you, his warmth enveloping you and rocking you to sleep.
You know you shouldn't hate him, or at least you have no real reason to hate him. Yes, he's played with you, yes, it's all over and he hasn't even waited to say goodbye to you. He has disappeared. He has broken your heart. You're crying like an idiot at home and you know the void he's left is going to be hard to fill. He's discovered a part of your soul that you didn't know about and you know that no other man will be able to satisfy you like he did. But you can't hate him. You were the one who became obsessed. You were the one who gave yourself hope with a man who showed no greater love for you than the sex you shared, for in front of others he still treated you as he always did, sometimes he was even cruel and contemptuous, you never cared because he always sought your body for his greatest and darkest desires and for you that was enough.
But now you are lost, in love with a man you know will never come back, wishing you could tear him from your mind, but you know your body will never forget his touch.
You graduate and finish college, the world of film, the one you have always loved, now opens before you to try to make your way in it, but the motivation that once enveloped you has disappeared. You say goodbye to your classmates and return to your small apartment. You will return home, you will heal your soul and when you are able to face that blue gaze again, you will return to that world you had loved so much.
You stop then at the door of your home. Your eyes widen and your heart beats only once, or so it seems to you. The door to your apartment is open, but that's not what scares you, on the doorknob, Murphy's rosary dances as if greeting you. With trembling hands you hold the object and caress it, you are not conscious, but you put it around your neck entering the house, you don't need to advance too far to discover Norman sitting on the sofa in your living room, his smile is tilted, his eyes look at you from the corner of his eye, their blue color pierces you as his pupils dilate. Your whole body trembles as he stands up and walks slowly towards you, you lower your head unable to hold his intense gaze.
"We meet again..." He whispers, his hand caresses your cheek. There are a lot of questions in your mind, burning on the tip of your tongue. "Did you miss me?"
"Y-yes, sir..."
"My good girl..."
And it all disappears from your mind. The doubts, the pain, the questions.
Ok, I think I've fixed the problem... it seems to me that uploading the gif messed everything up, but I think it's done... Sorry if it looks strange posting it from the phone.
Wanna fuck? Norman Reedus x Fem!reader +18
Summary: Sex... there isn't more plot
N/A: This popped into my mind after a post from @normanthatisall and I couldn't stop thinking about it until I wrote it.
I hope you enjoy it!!
Sorry for my english, it isn't ny first language.
You've done this before. It's not the first time you've gone to a bar for this, in fact, you've been doing it for a few years. However, it is a new bar, the one you usually frequent is closed, so you've had to find other place. The first thing you feel when you enter the pub is that there are not too many people, Rock music is playing, but it is quiet, some people are playing pool, darts, several tables with groups of friends having a few beers. You go to the bar, sit on a stool and wipe the wooden surface with a handkerchief before resting your hands on it and ask for a bottle of water. You don't drink, not because you don't like it, you've just never needed it, plus tonight you'd rather have a clear mind. You thank the waiter for the bottle and glass and take a sip. Your eyes roam the area along the length of the place, until you find him.
He's on the other side of the bar, he's sitting on a stool just like you, playing with a glass of whiskey between his fingers, he doesn't seem very animated, his head is bent and his shoulders tense. His brown hair is longer than the usual length you like in men, the tips of his ears peeking out between the locks, as if he were a lion. You roll your eyes at the thought. What a stupid thing to say.
You bite your lip as he lifts his head and drinks from his glass. His gaze and yours connect. You've never been discreet, you don't think you need to be, you know exactly what you've come for and maybe you've already found it. As a rule you need a few minutes until you feel completely sure that you can go to what you are looking for, The body language of the person tells you if he is in tension or begins to relax under your gaze, inviting you to take the next step. With him you find it a little harder, you see him confused and uncomfortable, but you continue to watch him with interest and finally see an amused smile on his lips. He raises his eyebrows and you get up from your seat going towards him.
There is clearly surprise on his face as you walk to his position. You don't mind too much, he's not the first one to be self-conscious at first, but then he accepts without much trouble. You reach him, see him turn around on his stool still with that smile on his mouth and shake his head at you, waving. You imitate his gesture.
"Are you alone?" you ask without taking your eyes off him.
"Looks like yes. I was waiting for a friend, but he left me stranded."
"Do you want to fuck?" His eyes widen and a nervous laugh escapes between his lips.
"Wow! What?" he hesitates and laughs. "Yeah, sure, we all like..."
"I didn't ask you if you like it, I asked you if you want to..." you cut him off and see him bite his lip, hesitating.
"Now?"
"At your place or mine?" you ask again, you've never had to give so many explanations and you start to get nervous.
"You're serious..." You raise an eyebrow, why shouldn't you be serious? He shrugs, finishs his drink and stand up. "Sure, why not, my place is fine..." he hesitates again and you wait. "My name is Norman." He introduces himself. You roll your eyes and walk away.
You don't need to know his name.
The two of you leave the pub, it's a bit chilly, but it's nice, you like the cold. You walk next to the man, Norman, without opening your mouth, he still looks a bit confused, you can't blame him, he probably expected something else. Norman walks with his hands in his pockets, you feel his gaze on you, studying you. You don't know him at all, you don't know what his taste in women might be, but he hasn't put up much resistance either.
You arrive at Norman's house, it is a fairly spacious apartment, decorated with various photographs, he has books scattered on the living room table and some clothes lying around. It's obvious that he wasn't expecting a visitor. You don't mind, you just hope the bed is clean.
"We're here, do you want a drink or...?"
"I don't drink, your room?" You interrupt him again by taking off your coat revealing a nice dress that skims your skin above your knees. You are aware that Norman's gaze follows your movements. That dress always achieves its purpose.
"End of the hall..." he replies and shakes his head, you obviously weren't expecting a real answer, but the whole situation is new to him, he has never been with such a straightforward woman before.
He overtakes you and heads down the hallway hearing your footsteps right behind following him to his room. He has a rather absorbing decoration, he is a man with an intense taste, there is no doubt about that, but he is tidy and everything has a place and is placed neatly. At least at his room. You can't help but be a little curious about that detail. You look at him when his hands brush your arms, bringing you back to reality. You hand him your coat and he carefully rests it on a chair next to his closet. He comes back to you, his hands touch you again, you frown. You're not sure if that will be a problem.
You don't want to waste any more time, you've gone there with a purpose, this is your night. You close the distance and allow yourself to kiss him, Norman reciprocates the moment, his hands holding your cheeks. You feel a little resistance, but you manage to guide him to the bed. You pull his shirt off and sit him on the edge of it. He leers at you from his position, his hands run up your legs, caressing your skin. You hold his hands and lay him down on the bed. Norman lets himself be done, looking more and more interested in what you have in mind. You kneel in front of him, undressing him slowly, take off his shoes, sit up between his legs and slowly pull down his pants. You watch as his stomach tenses and he gasps for breath, you set his pants aside and your gaze drifts to the bulge beginning to grow inside his boxers.
You bite your lip, he's quite an attractive man and he smells good, he takes care of himself. Your hands caress his legs as you lean forward and brush his hard bulge with your lips. You watch him gasp, clenching the sheets between his hands. He's gotten the message that you don't want him to touch you. You pull down the last garment, leaving him totally naked. His cock rising into your view. You circle his hard length in your hand and rub up and down slowly. Norman grunts, rising up on his elbows to watch what you're doing. Your gazes connect once more as they did in the pub before you lower your gaze again. The tip of your tongue brushes the tip of his cock, probing, tasting. You're not used to it yet, but you like doing it. You move your hand along his shaft and take his glans into your mouth; you lick, suck, suck gently without stopping moving your hand, without taking in more with your mouth, putting all your attention on his tip. Norman moans and gasps without stopping watching you.
"Fuck..." he gasps as you slowly swallow his size and his hand comes to rest on your head, tugging lightly on your hair.
You stop at that moment. Pulling his cock out of your mouth, looking up at him, you see him grimace in frustration and surprise as you grab his hand and pull it away from you.
"No touching, okay... I got it." He snorts and grips the edges of the mattress to get himself under control.
You stare at him for a few seconds hoping he can comply. Your hand goes back to stroking his cock without taking your eyes off him. Norman clenches his jaw and breathes heavily. You lick your lips and lick his cock again taking it into your mouth, sucking up and down feeling the tip hit the back of your throat. Norman stirs a little, sensing that he is reaching his limit and if he doesn't stop you he will eventually cum in your mouth, but he's not sure if he can touch you to warn you either, he doesn't want you to stop abruptly like you did before. He hisses squeezing his fingers into the mattress and you slowly pull away licking his tip once more. You watch as she gasps, hair damp against her forehead. His eyes lock on you and you make him lie back down on the bed. You crawl on top of him, brush your nose against his, sigh against his mouth without actually kissing him, Norman holds the back of your neck to really kiss you and his other hand caresses the curve of your ass. You gasp against his mouth as his tongue enters your mouth and you pull away again trying to take control again.
"No? We still can't touch?" he asks when he sees your face and releases you putting his hands above his head.
You kiss his neck slowly, bite his skin, slowly move down his chest, your hands and lips roam all over his body, etching every nook and cranny and every crease in your mind. You may never see each other again after this, but you like to remember those nights. You sit up on top of him and pull your dress up a little. Norman bites his lip with desire, all this time you haven't let him touch you or let him see you naked.
Now he's not going to either.
You position yourself on top of him as you get rid of your underwear, you hold his member caressing it before taking it to your entrance, ready to sit on it. Norman stops you though.
"Wait, wait." He holds your wrist and sits up. You look at him without understanding why he stops you. "What are you doing?"
"You said you wanted to fuck."
"And of course he wants to, but I haven't even touched you yet."
"No need, I can do it myself..."
"Wait, stop." He stops you again and Norman realizes that you're a practical, mechanical person, you don't need to put too much thought into things, you're direct, but this doesn't work like that. "Have you always had sex like this?"
"Yes, why?"
"Because it's bullshit." He says sincerely too, and you look at him in surprise. Don't think it's bullshit, you get what you want, that's the whole point of it. "You've never had a problem doing it this way?"
"No. I get what I want. That's what matters."
"Yeah, do you always get to cum?" He looks at you curiously. You shrug your shoulders.
"Maybe not, but I leave and find someone else..."
"Wow..." His eyes widen in surprise and he blinks several times trying to process what you just said. "You're upfront..." You shrug.
"You asked, can we continue?"
"Oh yes, we're going to continue, but not like this..."
"Then I'd better go." You try to pull away from him, but Norman holds you again. You look at him frowning, but he smiles, he knows how to keep you there with him. It hasn't taken him long to figure out that you're incapable of not answering when asked.
"Do you remember what you said to me in the pub?"
"If you wanted to fuck, but it's obvious..."
"It's obvious that I want to, do you know what it implies that I want to fuck too?"
"what?" you look at him confused, you've never been asked that question before, you're fucking, what else does he need from you?
"That I can touch you too."
"It's not necessary..."
"Yes, it is. I'm a person, I also want to fuck, and if for you fucking is touching me, I also have the right to touch you, don't you think?" He bites his lip waiting for your reaction. Your gesture wrinkles, you bite your lip and sit on his thighs, confused. Maybe he's right, maybe you weren't doing it right. "If you weren't, it would be like you were with a giant dildo, you wouldn't need to go to a bar in the middle of the night looking for someone to sleep with..."
"It's possible...”
"Well, in that case, don't you think we should make things right? What do you want, to fuck me or for me to bring you a dildo?" She insists and again watches your face turn to confusion. You don't need a dildo, you're skilled with your hands, if you're doing this it's because you're required to by your mother, at least once a year. You bite your lip feeling too confused. You startle when his hands caress your legs and he pulls the skirt of your dress up to your waist. "Do you really want to leave, aren't you curious about what it feels like?" Norman asks you looking sideways at you, his gaze lost in the strands of your hair. You hesitate, but finally nod your head.
"You're right, no... I wasn't doing it right... But..."
"Are you uncomfortable?" he looks at you and you nod. "You've never let them touch you before?" you deny this time and he smiles. "Honey, you missed the funniest part of all this." The tone overflowing from Norman's voice confuses you a little. You don't think you've missed anything, it's not like you've had a bad time the other times you've had sex either, however, he seems to have another theory in mind. "Okay, you've played with me so far. Now it's my turn." He tells you convincingly and you startle as he moves under your body and lays you down on the bed. He lies between your legs and his lips brush your knee. Your body shudders and you try to push him away, but he holds your wrists and stretches your arms above your head. A smile forms on his mouth and you feel a strange chill in your stomach. "No touching. You wouldn't let me touch you, now I won't either, it's only fair, don't you think?" He knows you can't refuse.
"Y... Yes..." You murmur and shiver as his hands grasp the fabric of your dress and he pulls it up until he manages to pull it over your head. Your instinct compels you to cover yourself, but you know you shouldn't, you've undressed him before, you've seen him naked, you've touched him.
According to your theory, now he has to do the same with you. It makes sense to you when he has explained it to you, but you still feel strange when his fingers caress your outstretched arms, your bra-covered chest and down to your belly. His gaze sweeps all over you, you've etched his touch into your memory before, you feel as if he's doing the same and you begin to make sense of this. Norman leans over your body, kisses you slowly, waiting for you to respond his tongue brushes your lips and bursts inside your mouth tangling with yours. A gasp escapes between your lips and you're surprised, it's only a kiss, but your body is reacting to it. Norman slowly pulls away, kisses your chin, your neck, bites your earlobe, moves down your skin, kisses and bites the hollow of your neck and you arch up moaning low. You open your eyes in surprise and see an amused smile on Norman's face. Maybe this is what you mean by the 'funny' part.
His hands run up your body again, he caresses your thighs, your waist, your sides, goosebumps rise on your skin and he unclasps your bra leaving it to one side of the room as he had done earlier with your dress. He stops for a moment to look at you, his eyes fixed on your body, he licks his lower lip and his pupils dilate a little more. You want to say something, but Norman's hands on your breasts cut off any thoughts. You feel his fingers massaging your skin, caressing them, tugging gently on your nipples. The sensation is not new to you, you do that yourself when you're in the solitude of your room, yet in someone else's hands it feels different, it feels strange. But it's okay. You sigh and press your hands into the sheets as you feel the warm breath of his mouth harden your nipples further before catching one of them between his lips. You moan at the wet sensation around your hard nipple, his tongue caresses it and his teeth clench it harmlessly, the feeling of pleasure clouding your mind for a second. Norman gives the same attention to each nipple, licking, sucking until your body trembles, his hands continue to caress all over your skin and you feel it warm with a new touch. Suddenly a strange feeling of overwhelm comes over you. You've never had your head so dull, always thinking about too many things, unable to switch off completely, working tirelessly, but now your judgment is clouded. You try to fight it, you don't like losing control, you're scared to feel everything around you disappear, you can only think and feel Norman's mouth all over your body.
"Look at me." You hear suddenly and obediently you open your eyes connecting with the man's blue gaze. Norman has noticed you suddenly tense up and has seen the internal fight reflected in your face. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
"Yes..." You gasp averting your gaze, trying to take control of your mind again.
"Do you want me to stop, do you want to leave?" he asks, sitting up on top of you. He's not going to do anything you're not willing to let him.
"Y...Yes..." You mumble and Norman tenses his jaw slightly, maybe that wasn't a good idea, maybe he should have let you do things your way. "But... I feel strange... It's..." You don't know how to express yourself, for the first time in your life. You don't know what to say.
"You're curious, aren't you?" Norman helps you, again with a smile on his mouth, his eyes darkening. His hands caress your thighs making small circles on your skin. You nod and he spreads your legs apart exposing you to him. You close your eyes out of inertia, feeling embarrassed, but for the man it seems like the most natural thing to do. What has to be. "I'm going to keep going, okay? If at any time you don't feel good, you want me to stop. Stop me, okay?" he tells you and you nod still with your eyes closed. You feel his hand on your chin and turn your head towards him. "Look at me, did you understand?" he orders you and asks, you nod again and swallow saliva.
"Y... Yes, I understood..."
"Good girl..." Norman smiles before moving down to stand between your legs.
His lips kiss the inside of your thigh. His fingers caress you and you arch over the mattress as they stroke and press against your clit. Pleasure rushes through you again, you gasp and sigh, his fingers still stroking you in circles over your swollen muscle, his mouth moves further and further down your inner thigh until he reaches your groin where he allows himself to nibble on your crease and you jump up digging your heels into the mattress. You feel his laughter against your skin and again you get goose bumps. Has sex always been like this or is it something only he knows how to do? The answer never comes to your mind as his fingers are replaced by his mouth and tongue. You open your eyes wide. His mouth runs over your sex, he licks your folds that get wetter and wetter, he sucks your clitoris, his fingers spread your folds apart and the tip of his tongue presses against the entrance of your vagina and you need to cover your mouth with a hand because a desperate moan escapes and you have never heard anything like this come out of your mouth. Norman looks up to discover your eyes moist with the intensity that is coursing through your body, your cheeks are flushed and your breathing is ragged. He knows you're enjoying it, but at the same time it's too much. He catches your folds between his lips one more time before he sits up a little. Kissing your belly, his fingers take the place of his mouth, he caresses you moistening them to press gently pressing one in slowly moving it inside you, feeling your warm wetness, how you contract against him and hold it inside you. He smiles at your positive reaction and inserts a second one that meets no resistance. He moves them in and out, making small circles, his thumb stroking your clitoris to intensify the sensation. Again a moan escapes your mouth as he touches something inside you that makes you shudder. Your hand buries itself in his head and you tug lightly on his hair. You know he has told you that you can't touch him, you hadn't let him either, but that new sensation has been too much for you. Your body pushed against his fingers with desperation, you trembled as the pleasure exploded in your lower abdomen and ran all over you, you threw your head back and moaned with pleasure, feeling yourself cumming against his fingers that kept moving inside you, slower and slower, prolonging your orgasm, feeling your knees tremble again.
Norman raises his head to look at you and smiles. You are a mess, you yourself feel like you are broken down on the bed, your breathing agitated, a thin film of sweat covering your body, mixing with the man's saliva, your vision is blurred and your body is still trembling with pleasure. He pulls his fingers out slowly, he gets on top of you, kissing your belly, your chest, your neck, until he reaches your mouth. Your hair stands on end as he tastes you in his mouth and you feel that you don't dislike him as much as you thought you did. Norman breaks away once more to look at you and nuzzles the tip of your nose with his, the strands of his hair tickling your cheeks.
"Still uncomfortable?"
"N...I don't know...I can't think..." You admit and he laughs at your sincerity.
"Do you want me to stop?"
"N...No...Aren't we done?..." You look at him almost in surprise and his smile widens.
"No, honey, I'm not done with you yet."
You feel him hold your legs and place them on his shoulders, you look at each other one more time before he pushes himself inside you slowly. You bite your lip feeling him push his way inside you, still sensitive from your orgasm your body convulses again, your walls close around him and he grunts, thrusting harder staying wedged inside you. You moan, feeling some pain, but it is soon replaced as you feel Norman's fingers squeeze your nipples and begin to move slowly inside you. He gasps without taking his eyes off you, searching your expression for any sign that something is wrong. He holds your waist and positions himself better against you as your face contorts into a grimace of pleasure giving him permission to move faster, harder. You both groan at the sensation. You rest your hands on his knees moving in turn meeting his strong thrusts, feeling him deeper causing the pleasure to increase more and more.
"Fuck, girl...!" he grunts without stopping moving on you, faster and faster.
He lets go of your legs and embraces you with his whole body, squeezing you under him, digging his fingers into your skin, you feel like he can leave a mark everywhere, but right now you don't care. You feel overwhelmed again, the smell, the heat, the touch of Norman is everywhere in and on you and your mind goes blank again when his fingers press on your clitoris wanting to bring you to a new orgasm.
"N... Norman...!" his name comes out of your mouth in a rush.
You arch under his body, your walls squeezing his cock and you moan against his ear as you cum, your nails digging into his knees letting yourself be carried away by your own pleasure. Norman moves faster on top of you, seeking his own release. His fingers tangle in your hair, his mouth catches yours and he thrusts one last hard, cumming, grunting against your mouth. You feel trapped, suffocated under his body, but he doesn't move, needing his own time to recover. He pulls away from your mouth and hides his face in the hollow of your neck, panting. You bite your lip as you feel him sit up, slowly pulling out of you and lying on the bed beside you. Your lungs fill with air again, it's not as if the man is overly heavy, but you're not used to the touch of another person. You feel your sweat mingling with his sweat on your body, you swallow saliva because you feel something else slipping between your thighs.
You get out of bed, look around the room, behind you Norman sits up in bed, watching you. When you find your clothes you grab them ready to start dressing.
"What are you doing?" You hear Norman's voice right behind you.
"I'm getting dressed." You mumble as if it's not obvious.
"Do you want to leave already?"
"Yes, why should I stay? We're done..." You say putting on your panties.
"Wow... honest again." Norman gets a snicker out of his nose and shakes his head.
"What...what's so funny?" you really don't understand that man, he's nothing like the ones you've met before.
"I was actually hoping you'd stay." He says with a shrug without looking away from you.
You study him, not understanding what he means. You shift nervously, shifting your weight from one foot to the other, trying to find the words in your head, but still feeling a little over passed by everything that just happened. You fasten your bra and play with the fabric of the dress between your fingers.
"Why?"
"Why?" He looks at you confused and shakes his head. "I don't know, I was hoping we could sleep together, in the morning I could show you some new things and fix you some breakfast and maybe drive you home. You know, be a gentleman." He tries to joke, but you frown.
"I don't need a ride home, I'm a grown woman."
"God, I hope so, I don't want to go to jail." He jokes again and this time you snort, rolling your eyes.
Norman gets up from the bed walking over to you, he holds the dress in your hands and pulls it back to the floor, his hands rest on your waist, your body reacts instantly. You have never been so sensitive to anyone's touch before. You look up at him and his eyes have a different gleam in them, different from a few minutes ago.
"Stay." He asks you and you are only able to nod your head.
"Okay."
He lets go of your waist, holds one of your hands and leads you to the bed again, pulls the sheets aside and lies down on the mattress, waiting for you to react. Doubt assails you again, but you finally get into bed, lying on your back, staring at the ceiling of the room, Norman lying next to you watches you without saying anything. Resting his head on his hand. On his side.
"I don't like the changes..." You mumble not knowing why you tell him that.
"Sometimes change is good... look at everything you've discovered today." He tries to make you look on the bright side. You frown slightly, because he's right, you have discovered a lot of things in that night.
"The bar I usually go to, was closed today... so I had to find another place..." You say again and he nods his head.
"You see? Sometimes change isn't such a bad thing. If we hadn't come to the pub tonight, we wouldn't have met."
"No..." You mutter, and you don't know how much of a good thing you can consider it.
Norman moves to your side, his arm around your waist and his chin settles on your shoulder, you don't move, but he seems willing to keep hugging you even though you've made it clear that contact isn't something you're comfortable with. The warmth he gives off, your exhausted body and your blank mind, make your eyes heavy and before you are conscious you have fallen asleep.
Norman wakes up hours later, next to you, the bed is cold and empty, he can't say for sure when you left, but it's obvious it's been a few hours. He sits up in bed rubbing his eyes trying to engage his brain. He smiles as he remembers the night before. He has to admit it was the weirdest night he's ever had in his life. And he has experienced many things. Yet he has never met, personally, a person like you. He rubs his face with his hands and gets up to take a shower. He needs it.
It's been several weeks since that night. Norman has gone down to the pub every night looking for you, hoping to find you on your stool, but to no avail. He remembers you telling him you didn't like the changes, yet he had hoped you would feel that change as a good thing and see you again.
But he was failing miserably.
"Dude, here again?" He hears his partner's voice as he stops at the pub you two met. "You're starting to obsess."
"I'm not obsessing, I'm just... I want to have a drink."
"Then I'll leave you here, I have to get home." His partner shrugs and Norman snorts. "I hope you find her and stop making that face." He gives her a hug and walks away towards the main street.
Norman sighs running his hands through his face and hair. He doesn't think he's obsessed with you, he just wants to know why you left that morning without saying goodbye. He takes a deep breath and opens the pub door. As usual the atmosphere is pleasant, the music is not particularly loud, there are several people at the pool table and at the tables. He heads towards the bar, but stops when he spots you on one of the stools. When your eyes meet, you stand up and walk towards him. Norman is smiling.
Your bodies collide, the wet sound, as Norman thrusts his hips up to meet you, echoes in the room mingling with your moans and gasps. Your nails dig into his chest when you feel you're close. You groan in surprise when Norman sits up and pulls you off him. You moan again against the sheets as he lifts your hips, leaving you kneeling on the mattress, his cock thrusting inside you again, hard, gripping your waist, ramming fast, feeling like he was about to cum. You muffle your moan against the sheets as the orgasm hits you hard, tightening around his cock, giving him more pleasure. His fingers dig into your waist pushing you against the sheets and he cums with a guttural moan. His forehead rests against your back, his ragged breathing crashing against your skin, giving it goose bumps. You bite your lip feeling him jerk inside you with the last spasms of his orgasm. Once again your mind is clouded, you are unable to think of anything and you like that.
You realized that Norman had that ability over you. The night you spent together you stopped thinking. There was always something on your mind, consciously and unconsciously, your head is always spinning, there is always something you need to think about, there is always something to ponder, study and analyze. However when Norman gets his hands on you, all that disappears. The morning you left his house, again it all came back into your head and you couldn't shut it up, they even seemed to sound louder. You tried to resist, it had never been a problem for you. It is who you are, but now there is something else bothering you and that thought is the hardest to shut up. You needed to go out again that night, your mother was surprised, but accepted your decision and you walked back to your bar, however when you got to the door you stopped and changed direction.
Sometimes changes were good... and the proof was in the fact that you met Norman again. And your thoughts went quiet again.
Okay now I think everything it's in its place...
I hoped you enjoyed reading the story!!

1. The Beginning.
"Daryl!" You called out to him grabbing him by the arm. The hunter turned to you, biting his lip nervously staring at you waiting for you to say something. "Promise me one thing... promise me you'll come back alive..." You pleaded squeezing his arm with your hand, your other arm in a sling.
"I can't promise ya that." He replied hoarsely, a growl vibrating at the end of his sentence.
"You don't have to go, you know that..."
"This is my fault, I have to go." He jerked and let go of your grip ready to leave.
You hesitated, it was only for a second, but you finally ran up to him as he was about to leave the room. You held his arm again and when he turned to look at you you stood on tiptoe and kissed his lips.
It was a very slight gesture, you just pressed your lips against his feeling them vibrate on your partner's with hesitation and embarrassment. You slowly broke away to look at him, your mind completely blank, dread running through your mind reflecting in your eyes. You saw him make a very discreet grimace before grabbing the back of your neck and leaning over you to kiss you again. A little more intense getting your brain to 'click' again. When you broke apart your sentence was burning on the tip of your tongue, but he stepped forward.
" I'll be back. I promise" He whispered in a whisper before breaking away, adjusting the crossbow on his back and disappearing out the door.
"CUT!"
The director's voice echoes through the prop room and Norman pokes his head back through the false door he came out of with a smile on his face.
"Did it look good?" he asks amused seeing the affirmative gesture from the rest of the crew and walks over to you.
"Thanks for saving the scene." You say to the man who is still smiling at you amused and shrugs shaking his head. "I've suddenly gone blank..."
"It's the effect of kissing Norman Reedus. It happens to all of you." He struts off laughing at your offended gesture and snort a laugh.
"Yeah, right, if you call that a kiss..." You try to prod him and he catches you in his arm sticking out his tongue ready to lick your face as he always does to tease you. "No, Norman! NO!" You struggle with him, but it's impossible, his bicep nearly choking you. Neither of you stop laughing.
"Come on guys, give us the stage, you have forty minutes break." You are informed and the two of you get out of there so the rest of the team can continue working.
NINE YEARS EARLIER.
You were nervous, not quite sure where the hell you had gotten the courage to find yourself right there in the middle of the huge queue waiting to enter the building.
It was an audition for the next season of one of the series that was all the rage at the time. The main cast was almost complete but they needed new people for several recurring characters that would appear for the first time in the story. You were interested, you liked the story, you had seen the first few seasons and when you heard there was an audition where you lived you plucked up the courage to apply.
You looked around and saw that there were many girls your age and even younger, they were also much prettier than you, which made your spirits decrease, but when you realized it was your turn, you were at the door and they were asking your name. With a stutter you introduced yourself being guided to a room where there was a table with several people taking notes, waiting for you. The nervousness became much more intense in you, but you stood before them introducing yourself once again, attentive to their indications.
"You tell us your name, age and the character you want to play, okay?" One of them said to you turning on a camera they had on the table.
"Okay..." You nodded and introduced yourself. "I'm twenty years old and I'm coming for the role of Julie."
They nodded letting you continue. Julie was an original comic book character, Tyreese's daughter, but in the show they were going to put a different spin on it, they weren't looking for a person with any special characteristics, just an age range of 18 to 25. They gave you some guidelines of what you were to do, so you took a deep breath, laid out the scene in your mind and picked up the stick of a broom to use as a weapon and felt your eyes fill with tears before you started.
"Okay, that's enough." You heard one of them as you finished your interpretation. You got up from the floor wiping your tears and repositioning the broom again. "Since we have your details, when we are done with all the casting if we are interested we will call you."
"Great, thank you so much for the opportunity." You said goodbye with a fond smile and walked out feeling your heart hammering hard in your chest.
You walked out of the building and it seemed like the line was much longer now, you walked away wishing the rest of the people still there luck and looked at your watch. You still had time to go home to take a shower before going to work.
You really had nothing to lose. You hadn't studied anything related to theater or representation, so you doubted they would want someone like you in a series that was on everyone's lips, but you had to admit that you had fun auditioning.
You took off your white jacket when the shift was over and rubbed your eyes hard, feeling like you were about to fall over. Sleep had taken over you several hours ago, you had a double shift and it had been a hard day, too many people to deal with in a short time and you alone, but it was over and you didn't have to go back until the day after tomorrow afternoon. You said goodbye to your boss with a friendly nod and left the pharmacy to go home and sleep until it hurt.
The next day you were startled by the ringing of your cell phone. You looked around not knowing where you were until you discovered the phone vibrating on top of your bedside table. You sat up and answered it without looking at the screen.
"Hello?" you mumbled, rubbing your eyes.
"Honey, I didn't wake you up, did I?" Your mother's voice shook you for a moment, what time was it there? You frowned looking at the screen of your phone checking the time, ten o'clock in the morning.
"No, mom, I just didn't expect you to call him."
"Your brother gave me a watch so I would know what time it was there and since you had a night shift last night and didn't tell me anything..."
"I was out very late and it would be early morning there, I wasn't going to call." You explained clearing your head completely and getting out of bed yawning. You needed a coffee.
"A message at least, you know I like to know you're okay." She protested offended and you couldn't help but smile understanding her concern, you were her youngest daughter and you had thrown yourself into the world at barely 20 years old, it was normal for her to be scared.
"I'm fine mom, work is going well, there are hard days, but it's usually quiet and I don't do a lot of double shifts, which is fine." You informed her as you brewed the coffee pot and made yourself breakfast.
"But...?" your mother's voice sounded concerned and you stopped in your tracks.
"But?"
"Yeah, you don't sound very convinced, it sounds like there's something you're not telling me."
You were surprised. You sighed smiling against the phone, you hated that motherly sixth sense I had.
"Nothing! Really, it's nothing, it's just that well... yesterday I went to a casting..."
"A casting? Are you going to change your job?"
"No, no, a casting for a TV show." You bit your lip and waited. Your mother was speechless on the other end of the line, you knew what was going through her mind, you knew the face she was making at that moment, she wasn't happy, the fear that something bad could happen gripped her, nervousness and doubt playing tricks on her. "Mom." You called out to her to get her to react. "Don't freak out, okay? I'm not going to quit my job, it was just a test, I had time before I went to work and it was close to here and..."
"Tell me you're not going to do anything crazy, please." She replied at last with a frightened tone.
"Of course not, seriously, mom it was just an audition, I'm not giving up my job for anything."
"What if they call you wanting you to act?" she asked her voice sounded intrigued now and you laughed.
"It's an important series, I highly doubt they'd waste their time with someone who has no idea." You laughed taking the coffee pot off the stove and grabbing the milk from the fridge. "And if it happened I'd already think about what I'd do..."
"What show is it? Maybe we'll see you next season." She joked and you felt some relief that your mother's tone was already calmer.
"I doubt it, it's about zombies and the dead and stuff, mom, you guys don't like them." You scoffed listening to her protests.
Talking to your mother was always intense. You had a lot to catch up on, you could spend hours glued to the phone. You loved sharing those moments with her, knowing how everyone was doing there, your sisters, your brother, all your nieces and nephews. You would tell her about your job, living in a huge city like that, if the apartment was nice, if you had problems with your neighbors, if you had a boyfriend.
"No, Mom, there's no boy." That was the quintessential phrase when the question at hand came. "I don't have time for that."
"You should go out more!" Was what she always told you to which you wanted to add that if I had more hours in the day, maybe you would.
After the long hours and chatter, you hung up the phone feeling your ear burning. You finished preparing your breakfast by sitting on the wide window sill of your living room window that you had arranged with cushions to settle there and watch the people strolling down the street. You loved watching the crowds coming and going from one side to the other, the cars, the bicycles... you had never liked crowds in cities or crowds of people, but you had to admit that from a safe distance and without the anxiety of feeling in the way, it was fun and pleasant.
It was your day off, you didn't have to leave the house, you could spend the day watching people running from one place to another, but since your mother had woken you up, you took the opportunity to leave the whole house clean and tidy. It was not a very big apartment, a living-dining room, a small bathroom and your bedroom, you had two large windows, one in the dining room and one in the bedroom, which heated the house while the sun was streaming through them leaving the place warm for when the light was gone. So you finished early giving you room to spread out the rest of the morning on other tasks.
It had been several weeks since the last time you talked to your mother, the last news was that one of your colleagues had become a mother and you had to replace her position in addition to taking charge of your own guards, which meant more hours and some more money, but also that you would end up exhausted every day, lying on your couch trying to pull yourself together and not fall asleep right there.
Once again it was your cell phone keeping you awake, you sit up seeing on the screen a number you didn't know, you felt your heart skip a beat before you picked up the device and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello!" they asked for your name and when you said it was you your voice trembled a little. "We're from the TWD audition you auditioned for a few days ago."
"Oh, right, do you guys know who you're going to pick already?" if you were nervous before now your hands were ice cold.
"Yes, that's why we were calling you, the role of Julie, the one you applied for, we're finally going to give it the original comic book line and we've found a person who fits the parameters much better."
"Yeah, sure, I understand." You nodded even though they couldn't see you, you didn't fit a lot of Julie's stuff. "Thank you so much for letting me know..."
"The thing is, we have other options that maybe might fit you."
"Oh, really?" she surprised you by sitting up better on the couch biting your thumbnail.
"Yes, we'd like you to come in tomorrow around seven to practice some new dialogues, see how you get along interacting with others."
"Sure, there would be no problem, around seven?"
"Yes, same place as the previous audition."
"Perfect, in that case I'll see you tomorrow, thank you very much for the opportunity."
"Thanks, see you tomorrow." They said goodbye on the other end and you hung up at the same time.
You looked at your phone and leaned it against your chest, your gaze lost in nowhere, your heart hammering in your ears, your breathing ragged, you were in shock.
What were you supposed to do?
You couldn't call your mother, that was out of the equation, if the woman found out you were going to take another test without knowing for sure they were going to give you the part you knew her nerves would be shot she would shoot up the last time you talked to her, however you needed to talk to someone, so you called one of your sisters. She rang the dial tone twice before she picked up.
"Uh, hi, what's wrong?" your sister's voice relaxed and tensed you at the same time.
"Nothing, why should anything be wrong? why is it that when I call you you think it's because something's wrong?"
"Well... you don't call me during business hours, I know the store is mine but you've always respected that and besides... you're defensive."
"I'm not!" you protested and then you both remained silent. "Okay, maybe a little..." You muttered at last and she laughed on the other side.
"What happened? what did you do that you don't want mom to know about?"
"Well... I haven't really done anything yet, but..." you sighed hating that your sister knew you so well.
You told her about the casting, about the little audition you applied for, the part you had wanted to play, your conversation with your mother and that you had been called back for another audition to play another part, that you had to be there early the next day and you were a nervous wreck.
"So what are you scared of? don't you want to go?" she asked after a few seconds.
"No, I mean yes, I want to go, I lose nothing by trying again...."
"The 'no' you already have, what if you get caught in the end? I could take advantage and use you as a store lure."
"Uhm okay, I can see you're really worried about my future if I quit the job and then I'm out on the street." You said wryly, but you appreciated that your sister wanted to cheer you up, at least in her own way.
The talk with your sister made you feel a little better, but it didn't take away the nerves of having to go all the way to the new audition and hope they liked what you were going to do. As your sister had said, you already knew they could say no, if in the end they wanted you to be part of the cast for that new season, you had a lot of things to think about. Mainly about whether you were going to risk it all to jump into the acting world, something you had never thought could happen to you.
Just like the first day you were there the nerves became more intense as soon as you got to the door and gave your information, the man made you follow him to the room where they were waiting for you, again three people with a camera pointed at you. You greeted them all with a shy smile waiting for them to give you the necessary guidelines. They put you on stage giving your imagination the situation you were in, gave you a small script with which you interacted with one of them and you went through the scene.
"Okay, that's enough." They said to you like last time and you handed them back the little script they had given you and stepped back a couple of steps.
"Thank you very much, it's been fun." You smiled a little.
"You defended the role we gave you very well without a lot of annotations, a little static, but that can be solved with practice." They commented and you nodded again, you didn't think you'd ever show up for an audition like that again, but it was good to know your skills weren't too bad. "The official recording is in Georgia, I think you already knew this, we start next month, if you give us the details of your manager or agent, we will contact him when we have everything ready." They kept saying and you between opened your mouth in surprise.
"Wait, what?" you stammered trying to process what that meant.
"The paper is yours, if you're really interested, of course" Said another one of those still at the table, looking at you with a raised eyebrow.
"No, of course it is, it's just that I don't... Thank you very much, I... I don't have anyone... I actually introduced myself and..." God you wanted to crawl under a rock seeing their surprised faces.
"No problem, we can take care of that, for now give us an e-mail where we can send you your full script so you can go practice your character before we get everything going." The person who had interacted with your character during the interpretation spoke to you again and you nodded.
"Fine." You walked over to the table to leave your details, they explained a bit more about how everything worked and shook your hand with a gentle shake.
"Welcome to the TWD family." They said and you felt your eyes fill with tears of disbelief and excitement.
The conversation with your family went through different mood swings and mixed feelings; first there was surprise, then confusion, followed by your sisters' excitement and joy as your mother went into a state of denial and fear, your father was still processing the information. Of course it was nothing that you had expected before, the conversation with your mother that you had had before that had already had doubts and fear on her part, but now it was real, you were seriously considering leaving your stable job to embark on an acting career that you had never pursued, that no one in your family expected you to ever pursue. Yes, you had enjoyed some plays as a child, even as a teenager you were in an amateur company in your town to get rid of your stuttering and fear of crowds, but it was never anything serious, you never really thought of turning it into a full time job.
There you were with your script in your hands, shaking like a leaf as it was thicker than you thought and from what you could appreciate your character was going to stay alive at least all that season, which meant you would spend at least half a year out of New York City, you couldn't keep paying rent to keep it for yourself in case you had to go back there, maybe you could find something else later. You weren't sure how much money you would make in those months either, it was the least important thing, but if you wanted to stay in the US afterwards you needed to at least have a small cushion until you found a new job.
In case you didn't stay in the show, of course.
You decided to take the risk, maybe it wasn't forever, maybe it was crazy, but you could go on, you were still young, you could find something when it was all over, even if you had to go back home you weren't ashamed, you never said that city would be your final destination, that you would stay there forever.
Probably the worst part of leaving New York was the trip, having to take a flight to your next destination was the worst step you had to take, leaving your job and the apartment you had rented were the least of your problems, you left everything there, except for a half size suitcase with some clothes, your precious objects and your laptop, the rest stayed at home, you didn't need it, you had savings, you would buy what you needed as the days went by. The production company had told you that someone would be waiting for you at the airport when you arrived to take you to the specific place where the series would be shot. You had never gotten along well with airplanes, you liked them, you admired their ability to hover in the air, to make trips that used to take months just in several hours now, but your claustrophobia and your terror of heights did not make the trips pleasant for you, you remained in tension during the whole process of takeoff and landing, the trip in between was calmer, you only felt a little anxious, but if the plane did not have to make any sharp turns or you entered a turbulent area, everything was fine.
At the airport as you were told someone was waiting for you, with a huge black car they took you without many details to the city where you would spend the rest of those months, coming and going from the recordings, they had put you a small trailer where you could leave your things, a nice caravan equipped with everything you needed to make your life more comfortable in those days. Well, at least you didn't have to look for an apartment for the long weeks when you needed to shoot scenes too early or too late at night, or when they stretched throughout the day and you finally had to stay there to sleep.
Your nervousness started to become more and more palpable, now you were already there, it was a damn reality, you were not dreaming, you could see people moving from one side to the other, everything full of cameras, cables, people talking through microphones glued to their ears, others in suits talking on the phone with someone as if they were discussing about the decisions of a world war. Everything looked confusing and chaotic, for a moment you wanted to disappear from there when you felt a touch on your arm that made you let out an exclamation of surprise discovering one of the women you did the casting with and unconsciously you felt calmer, at least a familiar face.
"Hi! I see you've arrived safely, how are you?" she asked you in a friendly way picking up your suitcase starting to walk with you towards your little caravan, you weren't even sure where it was.
"Fine, a little nervous and... recovering, the flight has been... intense." You joked and saw her laugh nodding her head.
"I'm glad, I hope you guys didn't have too much trouble with the road." She insisted and you shook your head. "As you can see here since early morning people are already very intense, we've been rolling since very early." He informed you and you opened your eyes wide discovering some of the main characters moving around the cameras, practicing for the next scene.
"Now I'm really nervous..." you whispered and heard her laugh louder, she stopped in front of what would be your house from now on and opened the door letting you in first.
"Don't be overwhelmed, the first days are always harder, but you'll manage to adapt, you'll see." She encouraged you and you really hoped things would go as she said. "Did you take a look at your script?"
"Yes, I was going over it a lot, I didn't expect... I didn't think it would have so much text." You came clean seeing that she looked at you again amused and shrugged.
"She's a recurring character, she's going to have several major starring scenes, after that we'll see how she evolves for the following seasons."
"Okay..." you smiled nervously taking the script out of your bag playing with it between your hands.
"Until this afternoon we don't need you to record anything, so if you want you can take a walk around the place, meet the people and talk to your colleagues."
"That would be great, thanks." You nodded and she then received a call on the walkie she was carrying, looked at you apologetically and wishing you good luck she left your caravan.
Alone again you allowed yourself to let out a nervous chuckle, your eyes roaming the entire caravan, every detail etched in your mind. It didn't differ much from a common caravan you would find in a camping, a small living room next to the entrance, kitchen, a bathroom that you didn't know if you would be able to use and at the back your room, the largest area of the whole place, the mattress was thick and looked comfortable, you doubted you could sleep there, at least the first few days.
You decided to give yourself a little time to yourself, you called your family to tell them that you were settled in, that you had arrived safely and were making some time putting your things in the room and getting familiar with your new 'home'. Your mother bombarded you with a thousand questions, many of which you yourself were not yet able to answer, as you had not interacted with anyone else except the woman who had accompanied you there and whom you had met before.
When you were done with your suitcase, storing it in the built-in closet of the room, you said goodbye to your family and decided it was time to stop being a coward and walk around the recording set to get to know your new workplace and especially your new teammates.
You took a deep breath trying to temper your nerves as you exited the trailer and headed to where everyone was now crowding around.
On the way to the set you passed several people who were in charge of the cameras, wardrobe, some make-up girls, you also discovered several interns running around taking care of too many things at the same time. You introduced yourself to other colleagues who were also waiting for their time to shoot their scenes, it was easy because they were also starting there that same day as you so the nerves you felt were shared. You peeked your head to see what they were shooting then discovering an outdoor scene, a fight of the initial group with a few walkers, they were well studied movements, with short phrases, some screams, chases, but finally everyone was safe, fake blood and viscera decorated the whole place, but people seemed happy and amused.
There were some hugs, jokes between them, possibly the reunion between some of them was today the first day and they had barely managed to talk and they had to start shooting as soon as possible taking advantage of the daylight hours and that the sun was having mercy with all of you. It was going to be hard to shoot in summer, you were convinced of that.
Little by little people were dispersing, moving to another side of the stage to shoot some scenes closer, individual conversations between several characters, the staging introducing new members of the group. Without realizing it you stood there alone, watching the place, with your head everywhere and nowhere, mumbling something between your lips, but not really saying anything, behind you you thought you heard footsteps, but your brain didn't process it until they were accompanied by a voice.
"Are you lost?" He sounded hoarse, curious and even with an amused timbre. You turned around discovering a middle-aged man, with straight brown hair, black sunglasses, several strands of hair caught between the glasses and his ears, which peeked through his hair like a lion, he was wearing clothes full of fake blood and his skin glistened with sweat.
"N-no, sorry, I was... Sometimes my mind gets disconnected from the world, sorry." You stepped aside wanting to let him pass. You knew who he was, not only because you had seen the show, but because his character was on everyone's lips.
"Do you suffer fromany disease?" he asked you with an amused tone and you were suddenly offended.
"Would that be a problem? I'm not going to infect you with anything, don't worry" You couldn't bite your tongue in time, you saw his eyebrows shoot upwards, over his sunglasses and you regretted what you had just said.
"My character in the show maybe is a redneck, but I'm not an asshole, you know?" he replied with the serious tone and you lowered your head with shame.
To be Continued...
I hope you liked it!
I'm sorry if there is something wrong, I don't understand about castings, and act, or those things, it just was part of my imagination.
As always sorry for my english!!

That awkward moment when you met Norman Reedus. 5/6
Norman Reedus (45) Reader (29)
’Request’ from @srhxpci : They work together, they became friends, and then lovers, there’s a gap age and I add a little smut (sorry I can’t not do that).
Warning this chapter; None. Travelling. Legends. Myths. Stories.
Summary: You were part of the cast of the series, but your first meeting with Norman didn’t go too well, now after many years, you can say that you are very good friends. Norman wants to invite you to his own show, why not? it will be fun!
First thing Monday morning, Norman's team arrives to prepare everything for the program. Norman is in a better mood, it seems that everything from Saturday has passed and he is his usual self. He's talking to his crew in a lively way, explaining what he wanted to start filming, how to approach the town, you're in your sister's store helping her to pick up everything you had used for the convention and you put the shelves back in order.
"How's it going? are you nervous about the trip?" your sister asks you.
"A little, actually." You laugh quietly. "I don't know if he'll like what I want to show him."
"Of course he will, this whole area is very interesting and I'm sure he'll find something to photograph."
"Yes, I thought so too...it can encompass several of his hobbies I think he'll like that."
"You'll see it will... Have you thought about what we talked about the other day?"
"I'm not going to get in his pants, don't insist... we're just friends." You sigh and give her a serious look, so she won't insist on it. Your sister shrugs and doesn't say anything else.
"Do you have everything already?" you walk out of the tent approaching Norman who finalizes the details and nods his head touching your back affectionately.
"Let's pretend I go into the store and you're there, we'll talk to your sister for a bit and then we'll go on through town." He points to you and you nod.
At first you struggle to find the dynamic, after a comfortable week with no set plan, having to fake some things or forced questions give way to some nervous giggles or quick glances at each other, but eventually you find a nice dynamic with your sister.
After leaving your sister's store you walk around town, you explain a little bit of fun facts about the town and arrive at the main street where a childhood friend of your brother's who is a member of the town's car club is waiting for you.
"Norman, meet Dani, he's on the board of the street circuit car club, he'll be able to explain all this to you better than I can." You joke, Norman smiles and squeezes the other man's hand. You give him a hug since you've known him forever too, and Dani begins to explain a bit of the street circuit's history.
"And as you can see, we've brought a couple of riders from here in town who compete nationally and internationally and we've closed the circuit for a lap." Finishes the man surprising Norman.
"Really?" He looks at you and you shrug, that surprised you too. He walks over to the two cars waving to the drivers and looks curiously at the vehicles. "We're going to race with you?"
"Yes, you will ride in the co-driver's seat, normally in these cars there is no co-driver, but we will give you a slower ride." Dani explains and you smile broadly.
"That's great, thanks for getting this." You tell her giving her another hug.
"I don't know if that's a good idea, Norman." Intervenes a crewmate of the actor gesturing for them to stop filming for a moment. "We don't know if this is safe, I don't question your abilities, but..."
"It's only going to be one lap and I don't think they're going very fast." He cuts his partner off and picks up the go pro to put it on his chest. "I'm carrying this camera, I want the ride recorded."
"Okay..." He sighs stepping aside and making way for them to go back to recording. "Be careful."
The two of you climb into the cars, you've been fitted with overalls and a helmet before, Norman takes his middle finger off the camera and climbs into one of the cars. The roar of both engines is deafening, people curiously approach to watch, those who lived the races in their youth feel nostalgia invade them for a few seconds. The lap is quick, you set off at the same time and soon a constant but safe race between the two cars is evident, overtaking each other in the widest and most accessible places, creating a bit of a spectacle. Norman cheers excitedly as the cars cross the finish line again and slow down. He gets out of the car with his fists in the air laughing under his helmet. Your head feels a little dizzy and your legs are shaky.
"I'm going to take this off before I puke..." you say taking off your helmet and Norman laughs next to you.
"That was fucking awesome, spectacular." He admits waving to the riders, congratulating them and also squeezes Dani's hand again. "Thank you so much."
"How did you get them to let you close the circuit to race?" You ask Dani and he shrugs.
"I talked to the mayor trying to sell him a little bit on the program and he didn't put up much resistance." He smiles with a shrug and you laugh hugging him again.
You talk some more, the cameras give you a break when they decide to stop recording for the moment, you say goodbye to everyone thanking them again and go to your parents' house to pick up your bags that will go in the huge car that will follow you all the way with the equipment inside and your mother gives you a backpack with several lunch boxes and some of the cake she knows how to make, you try to tell her that you don't need to get any of that, that it's too much but she shushes you by keeping it herself in the van.
"Be very careful." Your mother asks you hugging you warmly and then Norman who squeezes her against him.
"Don't worry, I'll take good care of her." He promises your mother making her smile and dares to kiss the actor's cheek making him laugh shyly.
"Alright, we can get going." One of Norman's companions speaks and Norman takes the bike brought to him, tests it a little before making sure everything is okay.
You've been brought a biker suit and a helmet to fit you, it's been a long time since you've ridden one, so nervousness immediately comes over you, but you calm down when Norman gestures for you to get on, you say goodbye for the last time to your family by climbing on behind your delivery partner, holding him by the waist.
"Are you comfortable?" Norman's voice inside your helmet startles you and you bump your helmet against his. "Sorry." He chuckles. "I forgot to warn you, we wear a mic inside the helmet, so it'll be easier to talk while we're en route and they can record our voice without a lot of wind noise or interference."
"O-okay... yeah, I'm good, anytime." You assure him, Norman takes your hands and wraps them around his body making you lean over his back.
"I prefer you to be closer to me, you're not used to riding a motorcycle and we'll avoid accidents." You explain and nod your head settling against his back.
He starts the engine and you leave behind the black van that is marking the road avoiding cars to get too close to the motorcycle in which you two are riding taking much of the road for you.
The ride is quiet, fortunately there is not too much traffic on the road, you and Norman talk animatedly through your helmets as you follow the van's directions. A couple of hours later of driving and changing scenery Norman stops the bike looking over his shoulder at you.
"Are you sure it's this way?" he asks you hesitantly and you laugh nodding your head in agreement.
"I know you can't see it, but that's it over there." You point to some huge coppery red rocks and he turns a little more towards you.
"What? Come on, there's nothing there."
"Do you really think if I wanted to kill you I would have taken you that far?" you joke and you both laugh inside your helmets. "Come on, trust me, not all pretty things are in plain sight, sometimes you have to look for them."
"I like that line, remind me to record it." Norman asks you and starts off going ahead of the car now, following your directions.
What you are looking for is a small village on the ledge of a mountain, even Norman has doubts that the van will fit through some of those streets, but it is not the final destination, you must go up a narrow and curvy road, Norman's companions ask him to go first, they will follow him with a drone from the air giving freedom to the man with the motorcycle. You hold on tighter to his body as he accelerates at full throttle and pulls up the hill with a little wheelie as he releases the brake.
When you reach the top of the mountain Norman finally discovers the castle hidden inside the red rocks, the same ones used to build it and so it camouflages with the landscape. He needs to take off his helmet and put on his goggles to be able to observe the huge construction.
"I must admit that I didn't expect this..." He looks at you and smiles. "It's impressive."
"I told you." You joke taking off your helmet as well, feeling your pulse still shaking. Norman reaches over taking your hands.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, you know my experience with motorcycles isn't very pleasant."
"I know, sorry, I got a little carried away." He apologizes again and you shake your head dismissively.
Before entering the red castle Norman sneaks between the marked paths around the imposing site finding several lookouts with panels informing you of how great that place had been in its better days. You walk beside him watching him bounce on the tips of his toes, enjoying the scenery, the place, smiling broadly infecting you. You find Norman's eyes on you several times as you turn to look at him, to make sure he hasn't gotten lost along the way. Inside the castle they tell you its history, they show you the huge exhibition of large weapons such as catapults from which you have to move him away as you see him ready to climb into the basket of one of them to take a picture and the guide who is showing you the place is already looking at him with a face of few friends.
After recording a couple of scenes there, several panoramic images or Norman looking nowhere in particular, you get back on the bike heading to the next destination. More confident and with the road all to yourselves, you hug Norman's back feeling your body relax against his and even dare to close your eyes. You smile thankfully that Norman can't see your cheeks redden as he rests his hand against yours resting against his stomach.
The trip has been fun and enjoyable. You have made different stops where Norman has had a few questions for you about the place and about everything in general. However in the back of his mind is still the question of why you hadn't told him about your relationship with Tom. He knows he shouldn't dwell on it, that you told him yourself that it was nothing important, but it's a feeling he can't shake. He is driving to your last destination before returning to your village and finishing recording the program when he discovers something that surprises him. It's a huge lake next to you and in the middle... A church bell?
"What's that?" he asks filling his voice your helmet.
"The what?"
"That thing inside the lake, is that a building?"
"Oh yes, maybe... it must be an old town that got swallowed up in reservoir." You explain and hear him curse. Norman stops the bike and takes off his helmet pointing further ahead.
"I want to go there." He says seeing that his fellow program members don't look too happy. "There might be a fucking town underwater. I want to see it."
"No... I don't think they'll let you get that close, but..." you try to make him understand but he shakes his head.
"I want to go." He insists getting off the bike, unzipping the jumpsuit and pulling it down to his waist, the day is hot and the garment is a bit oppressive.
"Okay, let's go, but it looks to me like we'll have to walk."
"We'll take a couple of cameras to catch two angles, the rest we'll leave here." The team gets organized but before they can get ready, Norman is already walking away down the road that prevents vehicles from passing, but they can walk.
Again you follow closely, the reservoir is huge, it is now low due to the dry seasons so it has created several islands and uncovering part of the ruins of what was once a village, but the church is still submerged in the water, only the bell is visible at the top.
"It's not a medieval village or anything like that. It's probably only been thirty or forty years since the reservoir was made." You explain to him already that these are not wonderful ruins, you don't want to disappoint him.
"What made them leave, was the village abandoned, why the reservoir?" he asks you, he holds your hand pulling you slightly, his target is those ruins.
"Well... they were probably forced to leave. This area before the reservoir was very poor and wild, the winters were very harsh, very few people wanted or could continue to live from the fields or animals, young people looked for opportunities in more comfortable places... the reservoir helped make this area more prosperous, but they had to abandon their homes." You explain lowering your gaze, feeling bad about it. You didn't live through it, they weren't even your families, but it seemed so sad to you.
"They were forced to leave?" Norman stops abruptly to look at you and you bump against his chest. "No one cared about them finding another place?" his eyes widen in surprise as you shrug not knowing how to explain.
"Surely the vast majority were older people, so... yeah, I guess they just forced them to leave."
"What sons of bitches..." you mutter and laugh nodding your head in agreement.
"There are many villages that are still fighting against these big companies, some that were forced to leave are now fighting to go back to their homes because finally the dam didn't get done..."
"If they need help with anything..." he offers and a smile forms on your face.
You feel infinite affection and love bubble in your chest as his eyes sparkle with earnestness. Taking advantage of the closeness you kiss him on the cheek and squeeze the hand that is still holding yours.
"You're adorable..."
"I mean it."
"I know, but there's nothing we can do, it's a paperwork war and well... you know how these things are." You sigh with a shrug.
"I hate paperwork..." he sighs regretfully and you squeeze his hand again conveying encouragement.
You continue walking to the edge of the land with the water of the reservoir, as far as you can get and Norman pulls out his phone to take several panoramic pictures taking in the entire reservoir and the ruins of the village that were submerged there.
"Since you've gone off the grid, we'll stay here for a while and ask some questions." The voice of Norman's companions, they carry with them some bags of food and a huge blanket. "You take the blanket and the food." He says handing you the things. "In the meantime we'll do a general shot of Norman with the reservoir and then you sit down to eat and talk a bit." He gives you directions and you nod doing as he asks.
You leave the bag with the food you had ordered in a village within your established route on the blanket and sit to the side. Norman joins you sitting down, leaving the bag right in the middle of the two of you. You start talking about anything and everything as you eat, enjoying the nice weather, the sun warming you. You have to admit you don't like not being able to look at him since he's wearing the sunglasses, but you don't say anything.
"So... Does your sister do that convention every year?" he asks you when you finish eating and are quietly lying on the blanket, you have to admit you were about to fall asleep when his voice came to you.
"He's trying, not every year he gets the same acceptance or he can't book the site because there are other events, but his intention is to expand it little by little." You nod and hear him mumble something.
"I'd love to come back another day, so count me in." You laugh softly, but you know Norman is serious. "It's been fun, people have reacted well to the new season preview."
"Are you talking about the kiss?" you don't dare look at him as you feel your cheeks burning.
"Among other things, yes." You feel his body vibrate next to you as he laughs and it rubs off on you. "Were you afraid people wouldn't like him?"
"Daryl is a beloved character, you know better than anyone that changes to your character are complicated."
"I know, but you're not a change, I think it's more like... a stepping stone, they've been developing a relationship and... I don't know. I think it was supposed to happen." He shrugs lowering his voice lower and lower.
"Yeah, I guess so, people were pretty respectful with their questions."
"Oh yeah, it's the first convention where they didn't ask me about whether Daryl is going to shower or the size of my penis." He jokes and you both laugh loudly.
"Don't think so much of it, it was only once and because Jeffrey stopped you or you would have shown it to him right there."
"They were curious, and I'm pretty quick at unbuttoning things." She confesses to you and even though you laugh you feel some nervousness and clench your legs at the thought of it.
"I'm sure you are."
You set off again. You have a couple more hours until your last destination. You have left for last a small village that is really nothing special, but it is a place full of legends and stories and you are almost sure that Norman will like to hear about it.
You stop the bike at the foot of the small village that is also hidden in the mountains and above it are the ruins of a castle. You take off your helmet and get off the bike smiling.
"Welcome to Trasmoz, village of witches and pagan rites." You announce stretching your arms out smiling. Norman takes off his glasses and raises both eyebrows curiously.
"Witch village? Really?"
"Yes, officially today it is still a cursed village and is excommunicated by the church." A chuckle escapes you as you see the shocked look on the face, not only of your co-worker, but also of the camera crew accompanying you.
"I don't believe it..." You hallucinate as you move a little closer to the entrance of the village where you discover a metal statue in the shape of a witch riding her broom.
The look is of an old town, where not too many people must live, low, unkempt houses, the streets of stone and dirt, the ruins of the castle is the most imposing thing there, the clouds have covered the sun, the darkness of them give a more somber and gloomy touch to the place and Norman smiles like a little boy before wrapping his arms around your shoulders and kissing your head.
"This trip is being a fucking blast."
"Don't be exaggerating, I've only shown you a bunch of ruins and ghost towns."
"Not true, I trusted your judgement and you haven't let me down."
"Thank you..." You mutter looking sideways at him. "I talked to the guide of the castle and the museum, he told me he would leave the keys of the museum in the house we rented to sleep today." You explain and laugh low. "So if you're not afraid, we can take a tour tonight." You joke seeing Norman's offended gesture.
"Sure we can! I'm sure it's much more exciting to see it at night."
Norman accepts the challenge, you get back on the bike to go to the little house you have reserved at the foot of the village, although the village does not have too many inhabitants, you will go unnoticed and you can stroll through the streets in peace. The house is made of stone, with two floors and a large garage where you can store your motorcycle and van without any problem. The second floor is divided into a large living room with fireplace, kitchen, a toilet with shower, a large backyard and two bedrooms with two large beds in each, upstairs there were two more rooms, reserved for Norman and for you, a larger bathroom with bathtub, terrace overlooking the beautiful views of the castle and the mountains now decorated with the mist that began to rise by the change in temperature now that the sun was hiding giving way to the night. You enter your room, where there is a double bed, it seems comfortable and your bones protest for a moment. You smile leaving your suitcases aside, you have a big closet to keep your clothes in, but you are only going to spend a day there, so it is not worth taking your clothes out. You sit on the edge of the bed feeling the hard mattress, you close your eyes and you are sure you could fall asleep sitting up.
"They left us food in the fridge and stuff for tomorrow for breakfast." You hear Norman's voice, you open your eyes discovering him leaning against the door frame of your room, he's with his arms crossed and a small smile on his mouth.
"Great, I hadn't even thought about food." You joke seeing him snort through his nose coming over and sitting down next to you.
"You're tired, too many hours of travel maybe? We've been almost non-stop for two days now." He looks at you seriously, massaging the back of your neck feeling you relax under his caresses.
"A little, but I'm fine, I'm taking advantage of seeing new places thanks to this." You laugh and Norman smiles staring at you, his hand stops at the back of your neck, but his thumb continues to caress the line of your jaw under your ear giving you goosebumps.
"You know you can propose any trip whenever you want." He offers and you look up at him smiling, nodding your head.
After leaving the house ready, planning how you want to do the shots of that town and the night visit to the castle you are given some time to relax and you even fall asleep without unmaking your bed.
At night you walk through the empty streets of the village, if during the day you have not met anyone, now at night it looks like a real ghost town.
"The truth is that it makes a name for its legends." Norman comments looking around. "There's not much light, you can't hear anything... it's spooky."
"At vacation time there might be about eighty people living here, not many more." You laugh as you see the surprise on his face. "The rest of the year the few people who work in the fields or in the surrounding villages live here."
"What I was saying, bad vibe." He jokes and you both laugh.
You continue walking down the long, steep, unpaved streets of the village until you reach the door of the museum. You open it carefully and the statue of a witch greets you. It makes you jump backwards not expecting it and you bump into Norman who holds you carefully. Nervously you let out a chuckle as you pick up the huge key to the castle and stroll inside the museum to take a look.
The huge wooden and steel doors creak in the silence of the night as you turn the key and push them open. Norman makes a gesture of mock terror at the sound of them and you enter followed by the cameras. The silence in that place is absolute. If you couldn't hear anything in the village, there even less, only the air whistles through the ruins causing slight howls when it brushes against the rocks. You don't know much about its history, but you tell them what happened there, how it was passed from one lord to another, the fire that caused its decadence, the continuous passage of time and the attempt to rehabilitate it again, but it was never achieved. The multiple legends that deal with this place. Everyone listens attentively, your voice blurs in the place and creates small images in the minds of your companions, giving life again to what was once a majestic castle. You stand in the center of the most open room, where there is a small display of armor and weapons sheltered behind large glass cases. Norman comes up to you and puts his arm around your shoulders, the two of you standing close together. You don't mind his gesture, it's something innate in him, he can't help it. You wrap your arm around his lower back and lean against his body.
"Okay, so... The legends were true?" He asks after a few seconds in silence.
"About the witches?" When he nods, you deny. "No, there were some... money counterfeiters who used the castle as a base for their own purposes and to keep people away from the castle they made up a rumor that witches gathered here at night to do their potions and their meetings." You laughed as he looked at you raising an eyebrow. "They were simple folk, miners, farmers, housewives, so their minds believed the rumors and it spread so far that it reached a monastery near here, the bishop who lived there asked for help from another larger city to excommunicate the town since it was cursed and all...and to this day it's still going on." You laugh again and Norman snorts loudly through his nose.
"So someone who didn't care, stuck his nose into matters that didn't go with him..."
"Something like that."
"Yeah, I see we haven't changed much over time." He snorts again and you shrug.
"The difference now is that it's become a tourist attraction, it's a forgotten town, you see there aren't many people living here, but thanks to these things, it's kept alive, if only a little." You shrug your shoulders lowering your gaze ruefully.
Norman watches you chewing his lip. There's a droopy smile painted on your mouth and he doesn't like it. The hand resting on your shoulder caresses your cheek catching your attention, you raise your head and feel Norman's arm pull you closer to him.
You open your eyes wide when you feel his mouth on yours. His lips catch your upper one, his hand still caressing your cheek. You sigh and grip his waist tighter when you feel the tip of his tongue brush against your lips. You are about to reciprocate when you hear a noise next to you and you pull away from Norman quickly looking up at him in panic.
You had completely forgotten that you aren't alone.
Hi! Today I come with another sequel. I really didn't expect this idea extend so much, but I've been thinking about this for a few days now (Among other things, I have too much free time now, Help!) I think with this is the last part of this story.
I hope you like it and enjoy it as much as I did writing it.
Sorry for my English, it's not my first language!

Wanna fuck? Part 3. (part 1 part 2 )
Warnings: M, Smut, +18, fluff, a drama attempt.
Summary: You ran away from Norman and he needs to find you. The things can’t be finished like this.
(If you want me to add you to the list, just let me know!)
Everything has gone to shit.
Norman's not entirely sure what's happened, but suddenly you've disappeared. Maybe yes, maybe he has a vague idea of what has caused you to run out of his house and he hasn't been able to track you down for weeks.
It's frustrating and Norman feels like he's at the end of his patience. He knows that you lead a different pace of life to everyone else, he has never minded, he has adapted to it over time, being careful how he handled himself around you and your environment so that nothing was foreign to you, yet it has worn on his patience. It's not fair to either of you, he knows, he shouldn't be thinking about throwing in the towel, he knows where he got himself from almost day one, much more confident after talking to the mother at that dinner, but still, he is frustrated. Norman really thought things were going well, that he had the situation under control, that you both felt comfortable enough together that this could happen, but no, he's failed again and you've walked away.
He knows he can't behave like a hothead showing up at your door every day, making demands of you, much less banging on your door waiting for you to open it, but he tries. Being nice, the first few days he walks around, calls you and asks you to please open the door, but no one answers from inside, which makes Norman think that maybe you have gone to your mother's house to feel more protected, but you are not there either, Norman uses your mother as a last resort to find you.
He doesn't want to worry the woman, but when he shows up at her door, she already knows what has happened. Norman lowers his head, feeling embarrassed by the situation. You are both adults and supposedly responsible people and there you are, playing cat and mouse. Sarah lets him into the house and offers him a coffee, Norman accepts although he doesn't think it will calm his nerves.
They talk quietly, Sarah doesn't ask questions, but he tells her his own side of the story, wanting to defend himself somehow, knowing that the fault is not his. None of them really, but the situation is surreal to anyone who can hear it without knowing the details. Sarah smiles with kindness and infinite affection when Norman finishes explaining himself and watches as the man runs his hands over his face and hair, a clear gesture of desperation, wanting to restrain himself somehow. Sarah gets up from her seat and walks to the furniture that adorns the entrance of the house, opens one of the drawers and returns to the living room leaving some keys on the table where the coffee cups rest. Norman stares at the object, raises his eyebrows, understanding what Sarah is offering him. He bites his lip nervously and his fingers play with the hair on his chin. He looks at the petite woman and she smiles warmly, nodding her head.
"My daughter is at home, she hasn't left the house all these days, but I've talked to her on the phone, I know you've tried to go see her every day and you've respected her stubbornness in not opening up to you, but you have to talk, so if she doesn't want to do it the easy way, other measures will have to be taken..."
"I don't want to scare her any more than I already have..." he admits lowering his gaze, but his fingers brush against the keys your mother has given him.
"You've done nothing wrong, Norman, you've taken the step you wanted to take with her and believed she would understand, and not only that, you've been patient with her reaction. You're good for her, Norman, I know that, I know she sees it too and that's why it scares her...I'm just asking you not to give up." Sarah looks at him pleadingly and Norman sighs nodding his head, smiles softly and grabs the keys in his hand, getting up.
"I'm going to fight for her, but if she doesn't see herself capable of accepting things as they are...I'm not going to force her into anything."
"I understand, Norman. Thank you." The woman smiles and stands up, hugging him.
Norman walks out of your mother's house with the keys in his hand and a decisive idea in his head. He's not going to give up, he's going to go back to your apartment and try to talk some sense into you. If you don't want him to, then he'll turn around and accept that it's all over there. But first you're going to talk to him.
Go back to your building, open the door to the street and go up to your apartment, after that night you asked him to stay there you hadn't been back there, you always met at Norman's house, but he has a good memory and remembers perfectly how to get there. He clenches the keys in his pocket between his fingers and again his teeth scratch the skin of his lower lip thinking about what he can do, what he can say. He sighs and drops the keys, knocks on the door as he has done so many times before and waits. He closes his eyes, leaning his head against the door. He doesn't want to force his way in, he knows that barging into your intimacy, your privacy, isn't going to help fix things.
"Please..." He mumbles against the wood of the door. "I just want to talk to you, then I'll leave if you don't want anything to do with me, but open up..." He asks you. He tenses because he hears a creak, but it's not your door, but another one not far from where he is. He turns his head to discover an old woman peeking out of another house.
"She's not home, pretty boy." He says to her in a shaky, muffled voice. "She went out a few minutes ago, if you wait, she won't be back long." She tells him with a wrinkled smile. Norman mimics her gesture by nodding his head.
"Thank you, ma'am. I'm sorry for the show." He hones in, but she shakes her head, downplaying the matter.
"That's all right, young man. You like her very much, don't you? She's a very special girl."
"Yes, yes she is..." He smiles because it's true. He steps away from your door and walks over to the lady who smiles a little wider, opening the door to her house. "But I don't think I'm doing things right with her."
"Don't talk nonsense, I know she likes you too."
"Has she been told?" Norman looks at her in surprise and the woman laughs low.
"No, but I see these things and I’m old enough to understand what she's thinking about." She tells him in a confidential tone and winks at him. "Don't let her get away." She squeezes his arm affectionately and closes the door again.
Norman stands there for a moment staring at the closed door, weighing what the old woman has told him. He tenses because he hears footsteps on the stairs and turns in time to see your head appear around the corner of the hallway.
You are unaware of his presence, you are looking inside your bag at the things you have gone to buy at the supermarket down the street. Normally you do all your shopping online, but you needed food and maybe to get some air, so since you had work ahead of you, you allowed yourself to go out and shop. You don't really like it because you always end up buying things you don't want because what you're looking for, specifically, they don't have it, but this time you're satisfied with your purchases.
You're near the door when feet appear in your field of vision. You stop and raise your head. Your face pales as you discover Norman in front of you. For a second you want to turn and run, but Norman grabs your wrist. Your gaze shoots from his face to your hand and back to him. Norman releases you by holding up both hands, in an attempt to get you to stay calm. You babble, fiddle nervously with the keys and the bag in your hands. He still doesn't say or do anything. Following an impulse you can't control you open the door to your house and leave it unlocked. Norman hesitates for a moment, but then comes in after you, closing the door behind him, following you into the kitchen where you leave your shopping bag. He continues without a word, watching your movements, watching as you gather the groceries in your fridge and various drawers, pick up some clean dishes and make coffee. Norman sighs biting his lip. You startle when you hear him speak.
"Aren't you even going to look at me?"
"I'm making coffee..." You reply. "Do you want some?"
"Yeah, sure, do you want me to help you?"
"No, it's just a coffee..."
"Yeah, sorry..." The nervousness is evident in him, he's folded his arms and repeatedly bites his lower lip, tugging at his beard hair with his teeth. "Do you think you could put that down and talk to me?"
"Coffee's almost done..." You mutter turning back toward the coffee pot. Norman lets the air out of his mouth very slowly and nods.
"Okay, fine, we'll do it your way..." He agrees without turning away from the kitchen door, not taking his eyes off everything you do.
You move through the kitchen, take two cups and prepare coffee for both of you, black with two spoons of sugar for him and for you a little milk and two spoons of sugar. You hand him his cup with a nod of thanks and move into the living room where you have your entire work area set up. Several computers plugged in, your laptop on the side table next to the couch. You point to it and both of you sit there. The silence is still thick and uncomfortable. Your heart doesn't stop beating violently and violently, your mind doesn't stop working at a mile a minute. There are too many variants open and again your anxiety is winning over your sanity. You have to get back to work, you're on your workday, you can't neglect your job. You have to talk to Norman, clear things up or else ask him to leave, to leave you alone. You also need to talk to your mother, set some rules as it is clear that she is taking too many liberties. Especially when Norman leaves the keys to your own apartment on the table in front of you. You raise your head looking at him in surprise.
"Your mother gave them to me, I thought I should use them if... you kept ignoring me, but I didn't want to force things, I didn't want to pressure you."
"And coming to see me at my house and knocking on the door everyday when I'm working?"
"I'm sorry, I know I was an idiot doing that, but God, I didn't know what to do." He ran his hands over his face again, trying not to get too worked up. "You just disappeared."
"I didn't... you gave me..." You mutter, lowering your gaze again.
"It was just some fucking keys..." You snort unable to control the frustration in your voice. "They don't hurt you, you know, you could've..." He licks his lips searching for the words. "I don't know, you just could have not taken them and that's it."
"It's... It's another change, Norman I didn't..." You muffle because you know what he's going to answer you, you can see him clench his fists slightly, controlling himself. "A set of keys means a lot of things... I..."
"Meant nothing more than what they are, keys." He cuts off your stuttering and hesitation. "We always go to my house, okay?" he shrugs wanting you to understand what he means. "We've been doing this for two years, and...I don't know, I thought maybe some keys wouldn't hurt."
"It implies a commitment, Norman..."
"It doesn't imply anything, just that you can come to my house whenever you want... I told you, I'm going to be with you as much as you need me, but you can't block me every time I want to do something else for you..."
"You already do for me..."
"I don't want to follow a fucking plan." He cuts you off again and you bite your lips holding back your thoughts. "I don't want us to compulsorily see each other on Fridays, yes, it's not once a month anymore, yes, now it's every Friday of the month, I know the changes are slow going with you, I know you have a hard time accepting them, that you don't like them, but I thought we talked about this."
"You are not a change..." You mumble understanding what he means.
"Exactly...It’s been..." He bites his lip and moves a little closer to you, squeezing your hands between his. You startle and look up at him. "It's been two years since we started this...I don't want to follow a fucking calendar." He says and knows he's letting his anger get the better of him and he takes a deep breath. "I want to be able to meet you on Monday, Saturday, Friday, I don't care what fucking day. I want to be able to call you, know if you want to see me and leave the house or not, fuck like animals here or at my place, come home from work one day and see you waiting for me on my couch, not because it's the fucking day we're supposed to see each other, but because you really want to see me. That you've missed me at some point." He's sincere and squeezes your hands a little between his. You stare, understanding what he means, thinking over all his arguments, looking for a logical answer that will make you also understand if you want the same or she's just crazy. Norman sees that you are not able to answer and speaks again. "Is it the case that when you stay at my house on the weekend you feel bad about being there? Tell me, do you feel uncomfortable when you stay with me after we've seen each other on Friday?"
You hesitate for a moment on what to answer, there are so many things swirling around in your brain at the same time. You understand what he's telling you, what he's asking, but he also knows that you can't give him a yes or no answer, your answers are never simple, you never leave your decisions to a few simple monosyllables. You look down at your joined hands and feel his thumbs caress your skin lovingly.
"Yes..." You whisper, but he doesn't move, he waits, he knows there's something else caught in your throat. "I was uncomfortable, at first and yes, I wanted to leave because it wasn't what was agreed, I didn't want to... but that gradually changed, like everything about you... you always manage to trap me, you always manage to make my mind cloud and with you I'm unable to think about anything else but you... See us outside of... our dates? Yes, I thought about it once, I even came over to your place one night, but...
"What?" he looks at you in disbelief. "Why didn't you tell me... why didn't you knock on the door?"
"Because I showed up there too late, it wasn't the right time... maybe I could have bothered you or..."
"Oh God..." He can't help but chuckle under his breath and cover his face with both hands, trying to process what you just said. "Really, and I give you my keys and everything goes to shit?" He still can't believe it. He knows he shouldn't be using that asshole tone, but he's just feeling overcome. "You came all the way to my house yourself outside of our... dates. Don't you think if you had my keys, you would have avoided standing at my front door and going home? You could have come in whenever you felt like it and we would have had a great night, don't you think?" He insists and once again, the pieces seem to fit together much better than they do now Norman is the one explaining the situation to you.
"Yes... I suppose you're right, as usual..."
"No, don't say that, I don't want you to feel obligated to believe what I tell you." He sighs and again his hands fall on yours, he squeezes them and brings them over his mouth, kissing them lovingly.
"No, but it's true. I've gone back to acting without thinking about... anything." An amused smile forms on your mouth and Norman looks at you with a frown. "It's ironic, because my brain can't stop thinking... even now..."
"What can I do to make you stop thinking? What do you need me to do? Tell me." He looks at you intently, one of his hands releases yours and strokes your cheek affectionately.
You stare at him for a moment, move closer to him and kiss him slowly, your lips caressing his. Norman gasps, holding the back of your neck, kissing you back, making you sigh against his mouth.
Norman didn't come to see you with that intention, he didn't really have it in mind at all. But you find yourself in front of him, completely naked, devouring him with your eyes and he is not made of stone. Well, he is now, but for a totally different reason. His bare chest and his jeans concealing a more than obvious erection. He settles down on the couch, spreading his legs, inviting you to come to him. His own fingers caress his lips, watching every move you make, his breathing is heavy, but he tries to be as calm as possible, letting you do what you need to do with him. You walk slowly up to him, your leg brushing against his as you slowly, slowly climb onto his lap, resting your hands on the back of the couch he's sitting on. Norman's breathing becomes heavier as you consciously brush your breasts against his face as you sit up. Your hard nipples brush against his lips and Norman opens his mouth to catch your tit between his lips. You gasp and moan at the feel of his lips and tongue against your skin.
His hands caress your thighs slowly, you sit fully on his cock, hard and hidden inside his pants, you move your hips against him and Norman releases your breast from his mouth, panting against your wet skin.
"This is... this is all we are?" you gasp feeling your mind finally stop thinking.
"No... you know it's not..." Norman caresses one of your cheeks, lifting his head to kiss you slowly, stroking your hair, letting it fall to your shoulders. "But if it helps you keep your mind blank..." he smiles kissing your jaw, moving down your neck slowly. You gasp letting yourself do it, closing your eyes. "I told you I'd be with you whenever you needed me... and that's what I'm doing." He whispers against your skin, catching one of your breasts in his mouth again, enjoying it. You sigh at the sensation and move your hips against his body, rubbing against his hard bulge still inside his pants.
Your hands come loose from the fabric of the couch to caress his head, his shoulders and down to the edge of his pants, brushing your fingertips against his belt. Norman pulls away from you a little again, letting you follow your path, you settle over his thighs unbuckling his belt, unzipping his pants. You slide out and between his legs holding the edge of his pants and underwear, slowly pulling them down, Norman lifts his hips to help you and you leave him totally naked in front of you. Your eyes are riveted on him, who doesn't look away either, with a crooked smile, slowly stroking himself, hardening his cock all the way. You lick and bite your lower lip crawling up to him, licking the tip of his cock as he grips his own erection from the base, grunting at the wet touch of your tongue.
You like hearing him, you like feeling him grunt and twitch with need and some desperation as you take your own time sucking and licking the tip of his cock, producing little wet sounds that bounce in the silence of the room. Your hand replaces his hand at the base of his cock and as your mouth continues to give his tip a warm wet treat, your hand strokes and moves up and down his length. You hear a hoarse moan escape his mouth, your chest filling with a certain pride in yourself. You look up and your body shudders as your gaze connects with Norman's, he watches you intently, breathing hard, biting his lip, enjoying what you are doing with him. Your fingers close around his base and you open your mouth a little wider inserting every inch you are able by closing your lips around it, starting to move your head in a gentle up and down motion, lubricating his entire cock with your saliva.
"Oh fuck!" Norman grunts and his hand closes over your head.
For a second you stop, but again your lips close around his cock, still sucking up and down, tightening your grip on his base a little. It's another thing that has changed in your relationship. The first few times you shared your intimacy, the contact you allowed from Norman to you was minimal, only when he takes his time to go all over you. When you were the one enjoying him, the occasions were very specific, but now you don't care. You like to feel his hand closing in your hair, his fingers twitching against your skin at the pleasure, his hips moving against your mouth wanting to go deeper. You've tried, but your mouth has never fully cooperated, yet you know you're capable of making him enjoy it, of taking him almost to the limit, of feeling his thighs tremble and his cock swell inside your mouth, only to stop and leave him there, pleading and completely needy. You've discovered that you like the animal side that takes over him when you play with him like that.
“I love that fucking mouth of you…” He grunts and his fingers grip harder your hair. “Feels so fucking good around my cock…”
Your body shudders when you hear him talk. That's another thing that has changed between your relationships. At first Norman didn't talk much, if at all, while you were fucking. Maybe a little at first or when he felt your mind going back to thinking too much, but it wasn't usual. Then, little by little, his tongue became bolder, in every possible way. At first it felt strange and even uncomfortable, you felt that something was cutting the moment short, forcing your mind to start up again, but then you discovered that it wasn't your brain that started to work at speed, but your body, which reacted to every word the man whispered, with goosebumps and your pussy totally wet.
“You like that too, right? All my cock on your mouth, taking me to the edge… Feeling my cum on your tongue…” He grunts again and you moan getting wetter just thinking about it. “Yeah, I know, girl, but not now. I wanna play with you too… Stand up.” He says and you look at him sucking his cock once again before doing with he wants.
You stand up slowly, feeling the insides of your thighs completely wet, Norman looks at you biting his lip. He lies down on the couch and gestures for you to come closer again. Once upon a time you would have demanded that you go straight to the bedroom, that the couch was no place for such things, but now you feel the need hitting you so hard, you can't even protest.
You approach ready to straddle him and ride him the way you both like it best, however, Norman holds your wrist carefully and guides you. A gasp of surprise catches in your throat as he pulls you down and you end up on top of him your thighs on either side of his head. He pushes you down and his tongue brushes your folds from his position beneath you. You moan and shudder. You clutch at the couch and your other hand closes on his hair.
You've never sat on a man's face before and your whole body trembles at the sensation. You gasp as you look down to find Norman staring up at you. His hands caress your legs, your thighs, his fingers spread your folds further apart and his tongue delves deep into your tight interior. You cry out at the sensation and your legs slam together. You exhale in fear and move over him. Norman stops and looks at you with concern.
“Are you okay?”
“N… No… I never… I never did it before…” You mumble embarrassed, fearing that in some movement you couldn't control, you might hurt him. He smiles understanding what might be going through your mind and turns his head slightly to kiss your thigh.
“It’s okay, let’s go to the bed… You will not to escape from me anyway.” He smiles and you do the same getting up of him.
Norman has you back on the mattress. Your legs raised, the inside of your knees resting on his shoulders, he has you with your hips slightly raised, holding your thighs and his mouth is once again buried in your pussy. He licks, bites and sucks your folds, his lips tighten around your clit making you moan, arch against him and fuck you against his tongue as he makes his way inside your wet inside. His gaze is once again fixed on you, not for a second neglecting what he is doing. Your mind, as well as your body, are a complete mess, as he always manages, you can't think, you can't be coherent with any of your actions feeling his tongue take you to the limit. He lets go of one of your legs and inserts his fingers spreading your walls apart, moving them in and out, curving them inside you touching that special spot that manages to make you see stars. You moan loudly and arch once more, pull his hair hard and cum against his fingers and mouth, feeling the spasms of pleasure shaking your whole body uncontrollably. Norman licks, sucks and moves his fingers, slower and slower, until he pulls them out. His gaze is on you again, he sits up and licks the cum on his fingers, you gasp at what you see and bite your lip. Your gaze is clouded with desire, your chest rises and falls erratically, your body still twitching in the little scraps of pleasure that envelop you. Norman stretches over your body, now your legs encircling his waist, he kisses you slowly, with infinite affection, his tongue brushes your lips and enters your mouth lazily, he breaks away again to look at you and kisses your chin and neck.
You caress and scratch his back enjoying the kisses that run down your neck. You bite your lip and push his waist a little. He puts up no resistance. He separates from you and lies down on the mattress. You sit up, your hand caresses his hard erection and Norman hisses holding your wrist.
“Easy, girl… I’m so fucking hard, I could cum too fast.” He says in a husky voice and you nod.
You let go of his cock but not without squeezing once more on his tip, Norman moans and uses all his self-control not to cum on it. You straddle him, rubbing your folds against his erection, lubricating it with your own flow. He holds you by the waist and helping you position yourself on top of him, you sit on his cock, feeling it work its way inside you without resistance. You moan once more, he grunts digging his fingers into your skin and holds you still, again controlling himself. You watch him out of the corner of your eye guessing when you can start moving again, your hands rest on his thighs and you begin to move slowly over him, bouncing slightly, gasping as his own hips rise, meeting you on the way, going deeper, throwing you back to the edge of your own pleasure. Norman joins in, wrapping his arms around you, the two of you sitting on the mattress. His hands move down from your waist to your ass, your knees dig into the mattress to gain momentum, your hands clinging tightly to his shoulders starting to move quickly over him. Norman helps you propel yourself by grabbing your ass, digging his fingers into your skin and even allowing himself to spank you. You moan at the sensation and clench tightly around his cock.
It's triggering for him, as he feels his cock strangling around your walls he can't hold back any longer, he moans hoarsely against your neck, his fingers pull at your skin and push you down, getting wedged deep inside you as he cums intensely. The heat his cock gives off and his cum inside you, makes your body shudder and you reach your own orgasm, pressing back against his cock feeling him pulsing inside you.
Norman opens his eyes the next morning. It takes him a moment to discover that he is still in your bed, but you aren’t with him. There is a small twinge in his chest of fear, imagining that you might have run away again or waiting for him to ask him to leave. He remains silent and hears a steady murmur coming from your living room. You're talking to someone and from the mechanical tone of your voice, Norman deduces it's something about work. He stretches out under the covers and looks around for something to wear, but remembers that all his clothes were left lying on your living room floor, he's never left anything there either, so if he wants to go out he has to do it naked. Not that he minds, but he's convinced it won't be a good show if you're in a business meeting. He finally makes up his mind by wrapping your sheets around his waist like in the typical movies, feeling a little ridiculous, but at least this way he'll placate a little embarrassment if your coworkers see him through the camera. He trips a couple of times on the fabric of the sheets but manages to get out of your room unscathed. He peeks through the living room door and smiles.
As I thought you are busy talking to your co-workers. You seem to be explaining to him your latest interventions, what you've been up to over the past few days, the results you've been getting, but that's not what really catches his attention. Your hair is messy and you look a little sleepy, maybe you've been up too long talking about it, over and over again, but what he likes is to see his shirt wrapped around your body. You got up in a hurry and it was the first thing you grabbed before starting the meeting. The smell of Norman on the fabric relaxed you and allowed you to focus on what you had to say without overthinking things. Something that surprised your colleagues. You continue talking to them, your fingers stroking the collar of your shirt, feeling the softness of the fabric against your skin. You spot Norman in the doorway, but he doesn't move, just nods at you. You smile and point to his clothes, folded and gathered on the table you use for family meals. He winks at you in appreciation and walks over, avoiding being seen by your coworkers and puts on his boxers and pants, folding the sheet to put it in the washing machine if you want. You look back at the computer screen, listen to the proposals of your coworkers and your boss and say goodbye to them, turning off the laptop. You get up from the couch and stand there quietly, watching him. Norman smiles and points to the kitchen, separated from the living room by a breakfast bar. You haven't spent much time in your house, but you've had breakfast there before.
"Would you like me to make some breakfast?" he offers and you nod.
"Thanks." You whisper and Norman walks over to you giving you a soft kiss.
"Good morning..."
"Good morning..." You reply back feeling your cheeks flush. It's like you're getting to know each other all over again.
Norman walks back to your kitchen, the good thing about you being a methodical and mechanical person for some things makes it easy for him to find things around him. He's a bit of a stickler for that too, but not to your extreme. You sit on the stool in front of the bar watching him move from side to side. He looks so natural that again your heart races. You clench your hands tightly, rubbing them together nervously. Norman catches your eye after placing the coffee pot on the stove and there is a mute question in his gaze. You know you've left a talk hanging, that last night you had to have a serious talk about what was going to happen from now on. Norman has nothing more to say for now, you are aware of that, now it's your turn to be clear with him. You sigh and tangle your fingers in your own hair before intertwining your hands again.
"I think I'm afraid to fall in love with you..." You whisper at last, not daring to look at him, but you know Norman doesn't take his eyes off you. "I think... I was afraid of falling in love with you..." You clarify because you're sure it's too late to stop that from happening. "You know things work differently for me..." You whisper again and Norman nods his head.
"I know, but it's been two years..."
"I know, but I'm not like you..." You shake your head because you don't want to refer specifically to him. "Like everyone else... I need a plan, a routine, I need stability so that... so that I don't collapse..."
"I understand..."
"No, actually you don't." You look at him and sigh covering your face with your hands. "I need everything to have a specific place and control around me so I can keep moving. Since I've known you all that has failed, everything has been changing, little by little around me; changing things, bringing in new things and forgetting routines I had since I was almost a child... Everything has been transforming around me and you've seen what happens when that happens."
"It's never been a problem, I mean... We've known how to handle it..." He insists, he thinks your relationship is on a good footing, or at least he thought it was.
"And it's not, at least not now, now that I've adjusted to... a lot of our relationship. I like hanging out with you, I like being with you, staying at your house even if it's not part of the program, I'd like to see you outside of the program we have set up, but I'm afraid that one day... it'll all be over." You lower your gaze again and bite your lip nervously. "I can't go back, I can't... forget about it and start from scratch like you or someone else would. You leave a person because you stop liking them, or because things become complicated, you are maybe a few days or a few hours bad and the next day you find another person who seems to fill you as well or better than the previous one... I can't do that. My brain won't let me, I'd need to think it all over again, rebuild my wreckage, almost everything would go back to zero and... and I'd just collapse." You confess and your voice sounds choked, tears have taken over your eyes without being able to control it. Norman moves closer towards you and his hand squeezes yours. Your whole body shakes so hard he's afraid you'll break. "That's why every time you wanted to be with me, to bond with me in a more personal and intimate way I..."
"You think you're the only one in love?" He tells you softly, you lift your head like a spring and see that his cheeks are aflame. "Do you really think if I didn't care about you I'd be here?" He asks you again, but doesn't wait for you to answer. "You are important to me. Very much. I've had times when yes, I've wanted to throw in the towel, Has it been frustrating? Yes. Have I felt overdone? A lot, but it's not your fault, or mine. It just is what it is. And I'm not going to run away. And if you need me to come after you when you run away again because you really don't know what you're doing. I will. I told you, I'm going to be with you whenever you need me. That the first night was weird? It was, but I think it was for both of us. That the second night was personal curiosity? Yes, I confess that too, but then everything came together. I don't know whether to call it love, even for me the word is perhaps too strong, but I'm not going anywhere, nor am I going to get bored of you. That's not going to happen.
"You're just saying that now..."
"I've been telling you that for two years, actually." He jokes and you look up at him again, his warm, amused smile making you smile too. You squeeze his hand against yours and then stand up.
Norman takes advantage of you stepping away to take the coffee off the stove and put two cups on. When you return to the table, you leave the keys your mother had given Norman the day before on the table and look at him hesitantly.
"You can... You can keep them... I'd really like you to come and see me... Even if I'm working or it's not... Friday..." You say this last in a breathy whisper and Norman's smile grows much wider.
"Thanks, I'd love to... Mine I think you still have them." He jokes raising an eyebrow. "You ran out of my house with them in your hand."
"Y... Yes, I'm sorry..."
"There's nothing to be sorry about." He smiles once more and hides the keys in his pants pocket, just in case you drastically change your mind again at some point.
Your back protests once again as you shift in your chair and groan low. You've clearly stretched your working hours beyond what was rightfully yours, again. You peel your eyes away from the computer screen, rubbing them with your hands, feeling them dry from overexertion. You look around, still getting used to the idea that this is your new workplace. It's been a few years since you have reduced your work area to that room in your new house. You were used to working anywhere in your apartment, but that has been changing little by little, like everything else. But it's good, you know, there's nothing to worry about. Besides you imposed it on yourself for obvious reasons.
You smile weakly drinking from your coffee cup when you hear the door of the house open and close, filling the silence with laughter and nervous, anxious voices.
So much had changed.
Your gaze falls on the ring that decorates your ring finger and you rise from your chair, ending your workday. You grimace painfully and bring your hand to your bulging abdomen, caressing it gently, feeling the little one stir inside. The door to your office opens and two pairs of blue eyes stare at you, asking permission in a mute way, if they can come in. You smile and walk towards them.
"Are you done yet?" Norman asks you, opening the door all the way. The little boy with him runs up to you and hugs your legs.
"Mom, dad says we can go to the park if you're done working! Can we?" Norman's little reflection pins his innocent gaze on you and you laugh nodding your head.
"Sure we can, I think I've been sitting here too long." You smile and Norman comes up to you kissing you lovingly, his hand caresses your belly and his eyes sparkle with restrained emotion. Your cheeks redden as you look away, you still can't get used to him looking at you that way.
"How are you feeling, is she behaving?"
"Yes, you know it's been a very quiet pregnancy."
"Good, then I'll get some things ready and we'll go to the park."
Now you remember with embarrassment what your first pregnancy was like. You were so surprised by the news that you repeated the test a couple of times and then went to the hospital for a third. But there it was, it was tiny, barely a couple of weeks gestation. A "chickpea" as the doctor who attended you had called it, and for the first time in your life you felt like hitting someone. You didn't have a chickpea in your belly, you had a baby. Yours and Norman's. You had made a little person and you needed Norman with you to take it in.
You burst into the man's work to the cry of "I'm pregnant!" you literally shouted in the middle of the photography studio earning you a look of surprise and amusement from everyone there. Norman was thankful that day that he had his camera strapped around his neck or he's sure it would have fallen out of his hands.
After that you both needed a moment to take it in. Of course it wasn't an easy thing to hide until you were sure the pregnancy was going well, your scream in the studio had caused all your mutual acquaintances to spread the news like wildfire and a few hours later you had your mother in your house. For that was another change that had happened to you before the baby. You and Norman had married and moved into a nice house where you could both start from scratch. It was a complicated process for you too, but it was less difficult than you had expected from the beginning.
The dizziness, the nausea, the avoidance of certain foods and suddenly wanting to eat other things you had never tried before made the eight and a half months of your pregnancy a real roller coaster for you and Norman, you were both new to it all and every gesture, discomfort or doubt that assailed you became a big dilemma that kept you both on edge. At least at the beginning. From the fifth month onwards you both seemed more sure of what you were doing and Norman loved touching you, loved having his hands always on your belly, feeling it grow, feeling the baby move. He would lie close to your belly and whisper to it as he caressed your skin, sometimes, to your surprise, the little one would react to Norman's presence by moving into his touch or his warm breath would collide, making the man smile with immense excitement.
You never expected Norman to be a man who adored children.
"How did it go at the studio? I hope he's been good..." You say looking sideways at your son.
The little boy was born with a personality very similar to yours. Some things that happen around him are hard for him to assimilate, but it's not as drastic as in your case, however when he feels anxiety taking over he shows it by getting too excited. Norman found that painting and photography calmed the little boy. Despite his young age, he was able to capture very interesting things in the pictures his father let him paint. While Norman took care of the photography, developing and mounting, the boy stayed close by, painting on small canvases or in sketchbooks. Crises had dwindled to almost none over the course of the year, but one could never let one's guard down for good.
"We brought a gift with us. We left it in the living room." He tells you as his only response, biting his lip in amusement.
"What did you guys do this time?" You look at him fearfully and the three of you walk out of your office.
Your eyes widen when you discover that your son is holding a small black kitten in his hands, clutching onto his shirt like a life preserver. You look at Norman and his smile grows much wider. He's enjoying the situation, he knows you like animals and that you're not going to be able to say no to him staying at home.
"How did you...?" you try to ask and he laughs with a shrug.
"Our little adventurer found him and held on to our son so tightly that I couldn't say no to him." You look back at the boy petting and playing with the cat who keeps purring and rubbing against his face, making him laugh. "I think it will be good for him."
You look sideways at Norman and then at the little blond boy who has put the little kitten down and both of them explore the room making little jumps and running scared when some extraneous noise over jumped the little feline. You smile and stroke your belly feeling your second baby move. Norman catches your gesture and comes over and hugs you from behind. He kisses your cheek, rests his chin on your shoulder and his hands caress your sides, the baby moves again, looking for the source of warmth and you smile.
"You know what I love most about your pregnancies?" he whispers in your ear, as if it's a secret. "How big your breasts get..." He confesses and after a few seconds you both laugh loudly. You shake your head and turn around hugging him.
That Awkward momento when you met Norman Reedus. NormanxFemReader 4/6
Hi!
I'm going to post this story too. I'm so sorry for take me this so long.
That awkward moment when you met Norman Reedus. 4/6
Norman Reedus (45) Reader (29)
’Request’ from @srhxpci : They work together, they became friends, and then lovers, there’s a gap age and I add a little smut (sorry I can’t not do that).
Warning this chapter; No Smut (yet). Jealousy. Doubts.
Summary: You were part of the cast of the series, but your first meeting with Norman didn’t go too well, now after many years, you can say that you are very good friends. Norman wants to invite you to his own show, why not? it will be fun!
N/A: Non canon of the TV show.
N/A: The italics in the dialog is that they are speaking in another language. Or trying to.
You've been at your parents' house for several weeks. It's a routine you've had since you finished the second season working on TWD. Although you got a good and cheap apartment in New York, until you got that money you had traveled to your parents' house after every long period of shooting and now you continue doing it, you don't stay so long since you have your own house, but you like to spend some days there. You also have a pending thing with Norman.
You're still not sure how you got tricked into this. You had brought him cakes for his birthday and he proposed a motorcycle tour around your town. In fact he didn't want to know the details of the trip, he gave you the number of his buddies who were handling the issue and between the two of you you worked out the route Norman would take. You would both travel on his bike, first you would introduce him to your own town, tell him the anecdotes about the street circuit and then you would make a route to the north and then return to see the new circuit that was just outside the town. You hadn't found many things that would involve biker groups or motorcycle specific routes, but Norman insisted that he didn't care. That he was looking forward to making the trip with you.
"So next week we're having a celebrity over?" your sister asks you when you go up to her bookstore and open the door.
"Sort of, but I'm a little offended, I'm supposed to be a celebrity too."
"Yeah, but you're my sister, I've watched you grow up and I know how glamorous you are." She jokes and you laugh nodding your head.
"Touché...I wish it didn't feel awkward. I mean...I know it's good for business, but try not to have too many people come see him when we're shooting around here."
"Relax, I'm busy this weekend with the little convention we're doing at the theater, I won't have time to show off my future brother-in-law."
"Yeah I kno…What are you talking about!?" You squeal feeling your cheeks burn.
"Don't look at me like that! That guy is smoking hot, he's coming all the way down here to do a show And you mean to tell me you're not going to get in his pants? Yeah, right."
"He's my co-worker! And we're very good friends, he's invited me as he does with many others, I'm not the first and I'm certainly not going to be the last..."
"Yeah, but you like him." She cuts off your argument making you almost bite your tongue.
"That doesn't... that has nothing to do..." You mumble lowering your head.
You feel guilty about how you feel. You and Norman have been friends for many years, you can say that for sure, but a lot has happened since you first shared a conversation and you've realized that yes, you enjoy his company and adore being his friend, but something inside you quirks up differently every time you see him. It excites you and makes you nervous at the same time, you look forward to being a good friend to him and yet every time he is near or you feel him hug you your whole body trembles and your knees go weak. You've tried to avoid him, to ignore him and it hasn't helped. You don't want Norman to know, you don't want him to find out and all is lost because he doesn't feel the same, you don't want to make him feel uncomfortable around you.
You don't want to be one more in the long list of women who fell hopelessly in love with Norman Reedus.
"I finally find you." You hear from behind you and quickly turn around.
"Norman!" Your heart races as he smiles stepping fully into the store.
"Quite a journey you've made me take to get here." He jokes advancing a few steps in your direction.
"B-but what are you doing here?" you ask incredulously. "Isn't the program next week?"
"Yes, but I wanted to come earlier to see you." He shrugs and his arms catch you in a tight embrace. You hide your face in his chest, the smell of smoke and cologne mingle sneaking in through your nose, you smile against his shirt and hug him back tapping his sides to break away from you hearing him chuckle softly. "Besides I saw around that your sister is hosting a convention this weekend, and I didn't want to miss it." He smiles again looking at your sister who watches you two with her mouth open.
"What, really!? Oh thanks Norman, that would be great! People would love to see two TWD characters." She says excitedly bouncing a little on the tips of her toes.
You smile and walk over to her to officially introduce her to Norman, he allows himself to give her a smaller hug and a kiss on the cheek before squeezing her hand with his. Your sister's cheeks are red and she looks a little shy now. You laugh softly and give her a little nudge to get her to react.
"Can I announce it on social media? Maybe we could stretch out the Q&A a bit..." You start mumbling planning the weekend again, actually as a highlight so far I only had you, several well known comic book artists and even some voice actor, but Norman was a big deal. I knew it would move a lot more people.
"You don't have to." You say to Norman as your sister gets engrossed in her business and goes into her office leaving you alone in the store with Norman. "Don't feel obligated."
"I don't feel obligated, I proposed it." He shrugs going through the shelves and picking up one of the TWD comics. "Besides since I'm here, it might be fun."
"You know it's going to be crazy..."
"I'm telling you, I don't mind, really." He smiles and hugs you again making you laugh and feel your cheeks turn a reddish color.
"That's enough, you just got here and you're already groping me." You joke and he laughs pulling away. "You can't keep your hands off me can you?"
"Yeah, you're right." He pulls away a little smiling sheepishly averting his gaze from you.
"Norman, do you mind if I take a picture of you to put on the store website?" Your sister appears again. Your co-worker's attention turns to your sister and nods.
"Yes, come on." He takes her by the hand again and the three of you walk out of the store.
On the store front, next to the door is the sign with the name of your sister's bookstore. Norman hands you your sister's phone number and puts an arm around her shoulders, sticking out his middle finger, resting his chin on her head. Your sister puts an arm around his waist and smiles broadly. Her excited gesture rubs off on you and you take a couple of steps back to take the picture and show it to her later. Norman looks pleased, even your sister.
"Mention me to post it too so more people can see it."
"Thank you very much, Norman." She says walking back into the store bouncing on her own two feet from the excitement that is pulsing in her veins.
You look at your co-worker with a smile nodding his head. Norman just shrugs it all off and shares the post your sister has put on her store's social media.
"How did you get here? have you ridden your bike here yet?"
"I rented a car, I parked it behind the church." He informs you and you nod, entering the store again.
"I'm going to take Norman home, so he can leave his things there." You inform your sister and she nods.
"Okay, I'll come over later for dinner, let mom know."
"Yeah, sure. Come on Norman." You tell him and he looks at you curiously, but follows you.
"Where are we going?"
"We're going to my parents' house, we'll leave your suitcase there, if that's okay with you, and the car, around here you won't need it."
"No, I already realized it's a small town." He smiles and looks around again, amused. "You know what the best part is?" You look at him waiting for him to continue and he adjusts his glasses and cap. "It's been a long time since I've felt this calm, you know, being able to walk around and have no one pounce on me." He laughs and you imitate his gesture understanding what he means.
The good thing about your town that even though they know the show, people are disconnected from the rest of the world, Daryl, Rick, Michonne, Ezekiel, Carol, even your character, are just that, characters, the people behind them don't give a damn. Of course there are teenage girls in love with Daryl Dixon, and not so teenage girls, but they're looking for Daryl Dixon, not Norman Reedus. Which makes it easier to move around without a continuous escort or without having thousands of cameras taking pictures non-stop.
When you get to the car you tell Norman where to go until you get to your parents' house. It was one of the little treats you gave yourself when you started to have more importance in the series. You bought your parents a house. A nice and deserved house, with enough rooms to accommodate the whole family but without being something exaggerated and flashy. They lived on the outskirts of the city, away from the constant noise and bustle of people and you were sure that even their health, for the age they were, was much better now.
You gesture for Norman to stop in front of the huge front door, pull out a small remote from your bag and push the button causing the door to start moving to the side, opening.
"We'll leave it inside and make sure nothing happens to it, or do you want to go with this car in the program?" you ask him as Norman enters the lot and shakes his head, parking next to another car.
"No, we'll ride a motorcycle, if that's okay with you." He looks at you before bringing the car to a complete stop and you nod.
"Yeah, sure, no problem. Come on, didn't you want to marry my mom? Well, let's go meet her."
A small smile full of shyness forms on the actor's mouth, but he finally gets out of the car following you to the front door of the house. There's a man waiting for you, short, no more than five foot five, his hair struggles between gray and a deep jet black for his tall age, his chubby nose holds a pair of glasses and behind them you can see two big, bulging green eyes. Norman gives you a sidelong glance, if he is your father, genetics certainly hasn't given you any of him. At least to the naked eye.
"Hi, Dad."You greet the man and Norman takes off his cap and sunglasses to introduce himself.
"Hi, I thought you'd gone to help your sister."
"Yes, but I had an unexpected visitor." You say looking at Norman and your father follows your gaze having to lift his head to face your co-worker.
Norman has never felt like the tallest man in the world, in fact he feels short when compared to other men his age or older, like Jeffrey, but seeing your father having to raise his head to look at him makes him suddenly feel imposing in front of him.
"Dad, this is Norman, my co-star. I told you guys he was coming to shoot a show around these parts, remember?" You tell the man, stroking his hair with infinite affection.
"Nice to meet you." Norman says and his voice squeaks a little, you look at him in surprise and smile gratefully as you watch him try to communicate with your father.
"Oh, yes, I remember. Nice to meet you Norman." Your father's English isn't much better either and the actor smiles warmly shaking your father's outstretched hand.
"Thank you so much for letting me stay here." Norman tries again and your father nods.
"Just like your home." He lets go of his hand and opens the door letting you into the house.
Norman is the last to enter, you grab his suitcase to take it later to one of the rooms your mother probably already has ready for him. You put it aside when you see her appear with her unmistakable kitchen apron, her blond hair already had a handful of gray hair, her skin is wrinkled by age, but her blue eyes give off a lot of vitality.
Okay, now Norman understands all that hair you always have tangled and messy when you show up on set in the mornings, he smiles and rubs his hands together nervously, your father has been an easier test than he expected, but mothers are always more complicated. He knows.
"Nice to meet you." He repeats the words he's used with your father and you smile looking sideways at him. "Finally." He smiles and you laugh low. "I-I love your food..." You can't contain yourself and laugh loudly as you see your mother's gesture and how she blushes a little.
"Thank you so much, I... I didn't know you were coming so soon, Norman." You feel your mother's inquisitive look and roll your eyes.
"Neither did she, apparently he came alone." Your father explains and you nod.
"Norman is like that."
He doesn't wait for her permission, he walks over to your mother and hugs her warmly. Your mother's eyes widen and she laughs nervously as her hands rest on Norman's back. The woman's gaze shoots up at you with raised eyebrows, grimacing in surprise and you are grateful that Norman can't see her, but he surely feels your mother's hands feeling him up and down, examining him.
"Mom, please..."
"It's just so tight...and muscular." She dares to say knowing that perhaps the man can't understand her. "It's been a long time since I've touched a man so hard..."
"Mom!" You scold her feeling your cheeks burn, Norman breaks away from your mother giving her a kiss on the cheek before returning to your side.
"Don't be so confident, young man." Your father threatens him in a firm voice.
"I'm sorry, it's just..." He sheepishly lowers his head and laughs softly. "I was really looking forward to meeting you."
Norman continues to try to talk to your parents as you carry your co-worker's backpack to the room your mother has already prepared for him. You carefully set the backpack on the bed to return to the dining room and try to rescue the actor from your parents' hands, but the man seems comfortable and engrossed in conversation with them, so you don't bother going to the kitchen to help your mother with dinner while they continue talking.
In the evening you set up a large table in the garden behind the house so you can all share the dinner you have been preparing. Of course Norman is the attraction for everyone. There are many questions, anecdotes and conversations shared with the actor, about you, about your work together, about how things are going and about himself. Norman answers everything without hesitation, smiling, enjoying your mother's food live, also enjoying all the company of your family, getting to know them a little more, telling him some stories too that force you to shut him up and the laughter intensifies.
After dinner and sharing some more time with your family, Norman is exhausted, the flight has been long, the trip there tiring and then meeting your family and learning how your sister's convention was going to work have taken the last of his strength.
You say goodbye to your family and walk him to his room, at least for this week. You open the door to let him in and show him a bit of the layout and the bathroom that the room itself has.
"See you tomorrow, Norman. Get some rest." You tell him, but when you want to leave he holds you back by hugging you again. You smile against his chest trying to calm your beating heart. You wrap your arms around his waist caressing his back affectionately. "Are you okay?"
"Exhausted, it's been a long day." He admits holding you a little tighter against him and you laugh. "But it's been worth it. Your family is very curious." He pulls away from you and caresses your cheeks staring at you, you feel nervous, not sure what is going through his mind, but you let him do it. "Your father wouldn't let me near your mother." He laughs letting go of you and you join him in nodding your head.
"Yeah, it sounds to me like he felt threatened." You joke and squeeze his hands when you're finally able to separate completely. "Rest."
"Yeah, you too." He leans in to kiss your cheek and you mimic him.
You walk out of the room leaving him alone in his room to go to your own, it's been a long day for you too, not as long as your partner's, but you do need to rest. You change your clothes and curl up in your bed falling asleep shortly after.
Norman despite the tiredness and the exhausting day, feels like he can't sleep, his body aches, his head is spinning, he chews on his lower lip several times before getting out of bed and carefully leaving the room. He doesn't want to wake anyone up, he just needs to smoke a little and he'll go back to bed. With the pack of cigarettes in his hand he walks down to the kitchen and carefully opens the door to leave.
"Everything okay, Norman?" The actor's heart almost leaps out of his mouth at the sound of your mother's voice behind him.
"Yes, yes..." He lifts the pack of cigarettes and she smiles in understanding. "I'm sorry, I don't... uhm..." he tries to search for the words in his head, but your mother shakes her head.
"It's okay, Norman, take it easy, good night." She waves goodbye to him and Norman doesn't move until he stops hearing the woman's footsteps and his heart returns to its place.
The rest of the week you spend getting to know the town, showing him a bit of the interesting things there, Norman absorbs all the information you give him by simply listening carefully. The weekend comes quickly and the convention attracts more people than you expect. The interview panels and signings with the actors and cartoonists are in the theater, but the rest of the activities take place in the old Market right next to the theater making it easy to get from one side to the other, with many booths with different things. Norman goes through the different booths before people start arriving and it is difficult to access. People who see him and know him stop him to take pictures with him and get posters, t-shirts, and even some DVDs of his movies or the series signed. You have your little group of onlookers too, but the main attention falls on Norman.
You're in the theater because it's your turn to go out to the Q&A panel. You're nervous, it's not the first time, but you always have that feeling before the panel starts. Norman next to you squeezes your hands trying to calm you down. His lips crash against your cheek and you feel better. You smile in gratitude for his affection and squeeze his hands between yours.
"What do you think they're going to ask us?" you whisper listening to your sister talking to the audience before introducing you.
"I don't know, but it sure is fun."
"My sister has the video of the new season, surely people have already seen it online, but..."
"Have you seen it?" she looks at you curiously and you shake your head. Norman opens the curtain a bit without anyone seeing you and points to the huge screen where your sister is going to play the video.
You both look over and when the lights go out the images start jumping from one scene to another in no specific order. You hear the raspy voice of 'Daryl', you also hear Michonne or Rick. Suddenly the succession of images stops to show a scene in which your character and Norman's character are staring at each other.
"Promise me you'll come back."
"I promise."
The video ends as your characters kiss, you tense up enormously not expecting that in the video. The lights illuminate the theater again and your sister's voice ushers you in, Norman makes you react and you both walk out onto the stage being greeted by screams, applause and cheers, you even hear some compliments thrown towards the actor playing Daryl. You approach your sister, hug her and Norman kisses her on the cheek with affection, you sit on the small sofa that your sister has placed on the stage right next to the couch where she also sits to interview you. The crowd continues to shout and call out to Norman who turns around greeting everyone with a wide smile, his eyes shining brightly.
When the crowd calms down your sister does a little interview with you before giving the floor for people to start with their questions, they are questions in general, how are you, what has the series meant for you, if you are excited about the new season. There is a very nice little rhythm between the three of you and the audience, a dynamic and fun conversation even making those who have come to see you laugh. You are grateful that Norman is with you as he seems more comfortable with it all.
When your sister finishes the interview and you don't have much more to add, the round of questions begins. There is a prepared microphone controlled by a moderator who gives way to your sister for people to ask questions. The first questions are simple, a contact shot before people dare to ask what they really want to know.
"My question is for both of you: what was it like to start working together? Because it's always said that you're like family, but you came in the third season, did it get weird?" they ask you and you laugh nodding your head in agreement, however you see Norman get a mischievous grin and raise his microphone.
"Oh yeah, let's just say our first contact wasn't very friendly, was it?" he laughs looking at you and you feel your cheeks burn.
"That's not..."
"What happened?" your sister insists, she knows perfectly well what happened, you called her full of shame and remorse that very day.
"Are you telling or me?" Norman asks you, of course it's rhetorical, because before you say anything, he keeps talking. "You insulted my intelligence."
"I didn't...! You showed up out of the blue asking me if I was sick!" You try to defend yourself by listening to the audience laugh.
"You were there in the middle that you looked like you were going to faint!" he reminds you and you laugh along with the crowd. "Then he spent two months after that behind me apologizing to me for it." Again the laughter intensified and you covered your face with both hands.
"I hate you."
"We both know you don't." He laughs and takes one of your hands kissing it. People cheer at that, he doesn't seem to mind, but you feel a little suffocated.
"You two are obviously getting along better now." Your sister brings some order to the room and you both nod, your hands still clasped. "Let's get on with the questions." She says letting someone else speak.
"Norman, we've heard a lot of rumors about new projects you have, can you tell us something, why exactly are you here?"
"Oh yeah, I've heard a lot of rumors too, what have you heard about?" he jokes making people snort again in amusement. "Yeah, well, to tell you the truth I'm involved in my own projects now, I mean, other than Daryl right now I'm not working with any other scripts, but we are starting to shoot new episodes of 'Ride with Norman', have you seen it?" cheerfully everyone answers in the affirmative. "Gee, are you guys just as effusive about everything?" jokes your sister to which a coy giggle escapes and you smack your forehead. Then the little sister is you. "I'm around because we're going to shoot some stuff, and you're going to accompany me." She points at you and people let out complicit exclamations and the occasional whistle. "Nah, don't think so, I've seen her sleep and she's no princess."
"Hey!" You punch him in the arm pretending to be offended and again people are amused by your interactions. "Don't think he's in a very good mood when he gets up either."
"You clearly know each other very well." Speaks another person who has been approached with the microphone. "Was it hard for you guys to do the scene we saw? Because there's clearly kissing..." Again insinuating whistles echo throughout the room.
"She forgot her line." An exclamation of surprise struck the theater dumb. "We had to improvise. It's the Reedus effect." He scoffs and people laugh with him, you cover your face with both hands feeling like you're going to burst.
"Well, it's not your first kiss with a TWD guy, is it? There were rumors of your relationship with Tom Payne." Another voice is heard on the other end of the microphone and Norman turns to look at you, his eyebrows raised in surprise.
He didn't know.
"Me and Tom didn't last too long..." You admit looking sideways at Norman. "We're good friends, we didn't want to mess that up...besides it's not like kissing the great Daryl Dixon." You joke and everyone seems to agree, but the smile Norman gives you isn't sincere and you get scared.
You can't say you know each and every one of Norman's expressions, but you know that gesture is a smile out of commitment, but there's something in his head that's messing with his head and you're not sure what it is.
The rest of the questions are normal, nothing compromising, people don't keep harping on the kiss between your character and Daryl, yet you sense some tension in Norman, but he hasn't looked back at you after he discovered your moment with Payne.
"You have no right to be mad, asshole." He says to himself rubbing his face with both hands as he walks out of the theater after your little panel.
For today you are done, people are making their last purchases in the merchandising area, you guys are done signing, only the last stragglers are left and you can go home. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell phone, he knows it's an hour when maybe Mingus is still busy, but he tries. He dials his number and walks away a bit so he can talk to him.
"Dad?" He hears on the other end. "Hey, hi, how was the convention?"
"Good, more intense than I expected..." he sighs taking out a cigarette and the first puff completely engulfs him.
"Is everything okay? do you need to talk?"
"I'm a dick." He says matter-of-factly. "I have no right to be angry, she can do whatever she wants, but... God I feel like punching Tom..." He confesses.
"Oh..." Mingus' voice trails off and Norman freezes looking at his phone for a moment and then puts it back to his ear.
"Did you know!" He questions him hallucinating.
"She told me, yeah, I thought you knew too...it was no big deal..."
"She...!" He bites his tongue in time not to scream again and looks around, takes another puff on his cigarette wanting to temper his nerves. "She never told me...why? I knew about her other asshole boyfriends...Is it that Tom did something to her?"
"No! It's not that dad, maybe she'd be embarrassed because he was a mate, I don't know dad, but yeah you're a bit of a prick for taking offence like that, a few days ago you had a friend in your apartment, remember?"
"I know, I know. I have no right to... get like that, but I thought she trusted me..." He says that last thing with a made up voice.
"And trust you, Dad, don't make a bigger deal out of it than it might be..."
"Norman." You call out to him, tapping him on the shoulder. Norman turns to you feeling uncovered but you smile kindly at him. "Sorry, I didn't know you were..."
"It's Mingus." He hastens to clarify. "Well son we'll talk, thanks for calling." He says quickly and hangs up.
"Poor Mingus, you didn't need to hang up on him so quickly." You laugh, but you're nervous, Norman is nervous, you can see it in his tense face, in how he's holding his cigarette and in the twitching of his leg.
"No, it's okay, it was nothing important, what's wrong?"
"Nothing... you're... you're fine?" you dare to get a little closer and pull his bangs back.
"Yeah, it's not... it's just that I'm a dick." He sighs long. "Don't make a big deal out of it, shall we go home?"
"Yeah, my sister's already finished picking everything up, I'll help her take it to the store tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll give you a hand too."
You smile gratefully and see his face change again, there's something still stirring inside him, but it's okay, it's no longer the same smile he showed you before, so you relax. You both go back inside, help your sister and go back to your parents' house to sleep for the rest of the day. You are both exhausted, physically and mentally.
When your mother arrives home a feast awaits you, your mother has made sure you are all well fed. As the night before, taking advantage of the nice weather, dining outdoors is pleasant and you can stretch the after-dinner conversation. Slowly everyone leaves, even your sister returns home to say goodbye to you, thanking you again for helping her with the convention, and you and Norman remain at the table. Your co-worker dares to light a cigarette and you finish the last morsel left on your plate. You both remain silent, but you know something is still on his mind, the way he touches his lip with his thumb holding the cigarette lets you know he's turning something over in his head.
"You want to tell me about it?" You say suddenly, you see his pupils vibrate bringing him back to reality, he blinks a couple of times and fixes his attention on you, you smile. "Everything okay?"
"Yeah, just... I was thinking..." He starts to say and takes a long drag on his cigarette. "Why didn't you tell me?" he asks you swallowing the smoke, holding it in his lungs for a few seconds. "You didn't trust me?"
"What? are you talking about Tom?" you reply and you see him avert his gaze licking his lips with the tip of his tongue. "No... No! Of course I am, I..." You shrug not knowing what to say. "It wasn't... it wasn't important..."
"I knew about... the other assholes you were dating..." You try to justify your discomfort, but you remember Mingus' words, you have no right to be harping and nagging about it, but you can't help it.
"I know, but... Well we weren't hiding it either, it just... it only lasted a few months, then we each found another way... I don't know Norman, I'm sorry."
"No, God you don't have to apologize to me, I..." He rubs his forehead with his palm. "Just forget it, okay? It was a stupid question."
You stare at him, the nervousness is still in him, but he tries to disguise it with a small smile, he pulls out his phone and points it at the sky taking a picture of the moon. You sigh, you know the conversation has been left there, Norman is not going to bring it up again, and he will avoid it as much as he can. Yet you feel that there is a gap to be filled, something that has suddenly planted itself in the middle of the two of you. You can feel that strange distance and you don't know what to do.

That awkward moment when you met Norman Reedus. 3/6

He opens his eyes before the sun begins to enter through the curtain of the room. He lets out a long sigh, brushing several strands of hair out of his eyes as he rubs them, trying to wake up completely.
He lazily gets out of bed, shuffling his feet a bit as he picks up his cell phone and pack of cigarettes. He catches one of the cigarettes between his lips, the lighter illuminating his face for a few seconds as he inhales the smoke holding it in his lungs before slowly rolling it between his lips and sitting down at the living room table. He drums on the wood with his fingers, his eyes fixed on his cell phone, the hand holding his cigarette resting on his cheek. Lost in thought.
His fingers brush the screen of the device before unlocking it and searching the address book. He sucks back the smoke from his cigarette and stubs it out in the ashtray blowing the smoke out his nose like a sleeping dragon. The dial tone rings several times before he hears a sleepy voice on the other end.
"Dad?" The question echoes in the empty room as he activates the handsfree.
"Hi, Mingus...sorry if I woke you." He tells him sincerely, his fingers moving nervously across the surface of the table.
"No, it's okay, has something happened?" there's concern in his voice and Norman can't help but smile. "Do you want me to call Mom?"
"No, no, let your mother rest, I..." He is quiet for a moment and chews on his lower lip. "I needed to talk to someone." He confesses, Mingus on the other end of the line is still surprised, but tries to clear his mind completely.
"Okay... What do you need? what can I do?"
"Just... you know I'm going on a trip." Norman tells his son about the plan he has with you for his program.
"Yeah, I know, we've talked about it before, what's up?"
"I'm... God, I'm nervous as hell." He hones in and a nervous laugh escapes him.
"Come on, Dad, you've known her for a long time, you don't have to act any different than normal around her." He tries to encourage him and Norman nods even though the boy can't see him. He's about to reach for another cigarette, but holds back, placing it to his ear.
"I don't want to... fuck it up, you know? We're good friends, my intention isn't to take advantage of this trip, but..."
"Did you really call me for advice?" Mingus is still surprised by his father's words and Norman suddenly feels stupid.
"I'm sorry, I know you're just a kid, but I needed to talk to someone...say it out loud." His fingers brush the cigarrete in his ear again.
"No, let's see, I'm 22, I can give you advice on this, if you want, and I don't mind you calling me, I...I like that you trust me on this." He's assured by Mingus on the other end and Norman feels a little better, like he's not wasting his son's time.
"Sure, I'll take my chances." He laughs softly. "Tell me, what's your advice?"
"Well, I think..."
"Norman?" a female voice is heard from the living room door that cuts off both men's conversation.
Norman turns to see a pretty, slender woman leaning against the door frame completely naked, she has her arms crossed enhancing her chest, wanting to tease the man.
"What are you doing here?"
"Excuse me, I needed to talk to my son." he says pointing to the phone.
"Hello." Mingus' voice echoes in the living room and the woman unconsciously hides making Norman laugh.
"He can't see you, relax."
"Why don't you talk to him another time and go back to bed?" She offers him with a sly smile.
"Ugh, I don't want to hear this..." Mingus' voice rings through the house again.
"No, easy." Norman looks at the time on the clock. "I'm sorry, gorgeous, but I can't, I have a flight in three hours and I have to leave for the airport."
"What?" She looks at him dumbfounded.
"Have you booked the flight already?"
"Yes, I want to go see her and meet her family. Without the cameras, you know, they're simple people, I don't want her to feel uncomfortable or think I'm making fun of her." He shrugs.
"Are you talking about another... woman?" the girl standing there in front of him is surprised.
"Yeah, she's... she's a co-worker. Hey, if you want I can fix you some breakfast and give you a ride home before I go..." He offers, trying to be nice.
"Screw you, Norman, you're a dick." She says annoyed going back into the room to get dressed and slam the door out of the house.
"Okay, I don't think it was a good idea to talk about this in front of her." Mingus comments after a few seconds in silence. "Maybe you could have lied to her or hung up on me."
"I tried to be nice, I could have just told her to fuck off and that's it... I mean." He rubs his hair trying to find the words. "Do you really think I'm a dick?"
"For being a single guy who sleeps with a chick and then goes to go see another one he likes, but they're not a couple so he doesn't have to explain himself to her because she's probably doing the same thing?" There was a certain irony in his voice and Norman snorts rolling his eyes.
"You know, I'm going to have a serious talk with your mother, you've got a lot of nerve." The two men laugh at the same time, Norman feels a little better, to be honest. "Well, I think I have to hang up now kiddo, I have to shower and go get a plane." He says getting up from the table leaving the cigar on the table.
"Sure, dad, let me know anything, okay? Call me when you get there or text me." He asks and smiles looking at the phone.
"Don't worry, champ, I'll see you around." He says goodbye to Mingus hanging up the call. He brushes his bangs out of his eyes and walks to the bathroom to take a shower. He has to pack at least one carry-on bag before he leaves.
Showering he remembers the first time he introduced you to Mingus. It was nothing planned, actually it was a surprise for the three of you, as it was the first time you met in New York after a couple of seasons with the show.
Flash Back.
Norman had gone to pick up Mingus for a father and son day. Their relationship was good, they always had each other when they had some free time, but they were busy men, Mingus was finishing his studies and was starting to be important in the fashion world, something Norman didn't mind as long as it was what he liked, and his father was busy with the series, the documentary program and his own personal projects, but luckily that week he had some free days so he planned to spend them with his son. They would buy a few things, walk around their favorite areas of New York and then have a bite to eat and talk about things. He had realized that one of the things I could do most with Mingus without feeling too much of an idiot was just that, talk. It didn't matter what exactly, but they could spend hours, sometimes Mingus needed to disconnect from his own world, talk about everything and nothing at the same time, just letting off steam, to which Norman listened attentively, without saying anything, because that was not what the young man needed, other times it was a discussion between them, sharing opinions, laughing and sometimes Norman even had to pass his feet with some things because we have all had that feeling that everyone hates us but in reality it is just another stage to overcome in our lives.
Norman talked more about work, not because he had nothing else to talk about, but because it was what occupied his time the most. Sometimes talking about work would lead directly to talking about you, how you were resolving yourself on the set, how your character was evolving from season to season. You'd only been with them for two seasons, but you could see significant changes in your character. He wasn't aware, but sometimes his words rambled too much about you and Mingus listened with a small smile.
"Do you like her?" He would ask his father in surprise.
"I don't know." It was the answer he always gave him, and the most sincere.
When the subject drifted that way, Norman would try to change the subject because he himself didn't know what he wanted, not then, even now there were times when he had doubts whether he really wanted to risk your friendship for something he didn't dare name.
That morning Norman changed the subject by showing him several photos he had taken on the set, it wouldn't be long before he had a new exhibition and he wanted to include them in it. Mingus looked at them curiously, he liked his father's view of life.
"Is that your partner?" He asked then and Norman frowned looking at the photo, confused.
"Where?" the photo had Andrew and Scott in it with him, but perhaps from behind he had caught you unaware.
"Not there, there." He laughed pointing over his father's shoulder. Norman turned following the trajectory of his finger.
On the sidewalk across the street from where they had stopped for coffee for breakfast was a small neighborhood market, with a few stores pulled out into the street to sell their produce and there you were, next to a greengrocer's shop talking to the woman in charge of the stand, holding a tomato in your hand, smelling it enjoying its earthy, country smell, which hadn't been taken from a camera or a greenhouse that just smelled and tasted like plastic. You were a country girl, you liked the simple things, you enjoyed the little things and Norman learned a little from you to tell those kinds of things apart.
"Let's go say hello to her." He heard Mingus' voice next to him, bringing him back to reality.
"What? No, wait Mingus." He tried to stop his son, but he had already paid for the coffees and stood up from his chair, heading straight for you.
Norman got up like a spring going after his son, Mingus waited for him to catch up and when he got to your side he pushed Norman a bit who bumped into you, his father looked at him frowning and the blond looked at him apologetically, he didn't intend a rough encounter, but he hadn't thought of anything better.
"Sorry." He apologized to you and you looked at him surprised and excited, it had been almost a month since you two had seen each other because of the end of season hiatus.
"Norman! It's good to see you." You smiled and hugged him letting the man squeeze you tightly.
"Me too, I didn't know you lived around here."
"I just got back a little while ago." You explained and Norman touched his son's shoulder.
"Look, this is my son, Mingus." He introduced you and you smiled again squeezing the teenager's hand affectionately.
"My father has told me a lot about you." He said and you felt your cheeks redden.
"Oh yeah?"
"I talk about everyone." He inserted himself into the conversation so it wouldn't get awkward.
"Let's go for a walk and do some shopping, do you want to come with us?" Mingus offered surprising you and his own father.
Norman never knew for sure why that day Mingus offered you to accompany them, maybe he did it out of kindness, to make his father uncomfortable, maybe he wanted to fill in for himself information that Norman hadn't been able to give him or had been curious about you as a teenager. Something he would later make clear to you with a blunt:
"I can find a girl all by myself, Dad."
And Norman didn't doubt that.
End Flash Back.
He steps out of the shower feeling his skin burning from the high temperature at which he has let the water run over his entire body to completely clear his head. He shakes his head to get the excess water out of his hair before stepping out of the shower and wrapping a towel around his waist. In the bedroom he pulls out several pairs of pants and t-shirts, his most comfortable boots and a motorcycle jumpsuit and helmet. He stuffs all that into the travel suitcase, the rest of his clothes and a few things like his laptop, camera, sunglasses, some spare clothes to have on hand and some hats that he keeps in the backpack that he will take with him on the plane. He hesitates for a few seconds, he doesn't want to look like he's prepared to see you, he wants to be casual, normal, it's not the first time you share a ride or are together off set, but he feels nervous. Finally he grabs one of his T-shirts with the advertising of his program, some jeans and his boots. A meow makes him smile as he sees Eye in the Dark watching him lying on the bed, purring very softly. That reminds him to leave a small envelope of money with his son's name on it. He always takes his furry friend with him, but he's getting older and the long trips are testing his nerves and his health and Norman doesn't want to risk that something might happen to him, so he lets Mingus take care of the animal while he's gone. He strokes its head and the cat purrs a little louder, closing its big greenish eyes.
Flash Back.
Norman opened the door to his apartment dragging a huge suitcase. He was exhausted but he still couldn't relax, in a few hours he had an interview to comment on the episode that premiered that night and he had just enough time to take a shower and eat something. Right behind him you appeared with a suitcase similar in size to his, with the same tired gesture plastered on your face.
"I hate running back and forth..." you protested, carefully closing the door behind your back.
"You should be used to it, this isn't the first convention you've been to." He scoffed a little from somewhere on the wide floor.
"I know..." You muttered rolling your eyes. You'd never end up getting used to conventions, the presentations, the signings, the programs... It was something that just wasn't meant for you. "Oh my God, Norman, you have a cat!" You exclaimed with excitement upon discovering a cute black cat lying on the couch.
"Yes, technically it's my son's, but yes, I have a cat." His voice echoed through the floor again as he walked back towards the living room. "Be careful, he's a little surly around strangers and don't..." He fell silent in the doorway of the living room as he discovered you kneeling on the floor, half your body lying on the couch cushions with one hand outstretched towards the cat, but giving the animal its space to decide to approach or ignore you. Eye in the Dark had gotten up from his spot and sniffed your fingers resting his head against your hand, purring low. You looked up at Norman biting your lip, your face brimming with excitement. Norman smiled at that. "Wow, I wasn't expecting that." He said sincerely.
"He has chosen me." You whispered in fear that your voice might disturb him. "He's beautiful, and very gentle."
"Yes, he's a spoiled cat." He agreed and laughed. "I'm going to take a shower and order something to eat before we go. Just as if you were at home." He offered. "The kitchen is over there." He pointed. "And if you want you can take a shower when I'm done."
"Okay, thanks." You smiled gratefully without stopping petting the cat behind the ears.
For Norman it wasn't the first, it wouldn't be the last time he invited a co-worker to his home, you had overlapped on the flight home from a convention in Europe and you both had to be on the show that night, so he offered you his apartment which was closer so you could get ready there and then leave together for the interview. It seemed a little strange to you at first, since you had met that day he was with his son, it had become a little routine to go out together sometimes in the city, but that was his home, his intimacy, but it seemed to come so naturally from him that you couldn't refuse.
End Flash Back.
"Be good, furry." He says to Dark patting his head before adjusting the travel backpack on his arm. "See you in a couple of weeks." He promises him and leaves the house making sure he has everything important with him.
He hails a cab to take him to the airport and there he has to make an effort to be nice to people and get to the boarding of his flight on time. By showering and packing his bags he has had less than an hour to get everything ready before boarding the plane. He takes several pictures with some fans, smiles, signs blank papers and then says goodbye to everyone running towards the gate that takes him to his new destination. He breathes a little easier when his butt touches the seat of the plane and he closes his eyes rubbing them with some nervousness. He takes off his glasses and cap for a few seconds when the stewardess comes over to make sure he's okay. He asks her for a coffee and something light to eat and the woman walks away leaving him alone with his music and things. The seat next to him is empty and he smiles stretching a little, at least he can rest easy if he needs to.
It's funny how easily his mind wanders through all the memories he has with you. The first time you flew together discovering your great panic of heights and enclosed places.
Flash back.
He was watching you from his seat. You hadn't been on the show too long, neither of you had much more than a cordial greeting when you saw each other, kindness when it was your turn to work together and again when you said goodbye. It was all the interaction you were having that season, you were new and to top it off your first meeting was not the most pleasant, yet you have to travel to the presentation of the new season, the time of conventions, interviews, promotional events of the series arrives. And you looked like you were about to vomit. You weren't all going together, you didn't coincide neither in city nor in schedules, however Norman saw you getting on the plane, being a few seats ahead of where he was sitting. He wasn't sure if you had seen him or ignored him on purpose, but it was obvious that you were not comfortable. There was still time for the boarding gate to close and the plane to take off, he didn't have to butt in where he didn't belong, but he couldn't help himself. He unbuckled his seat belt getting up from his seat to walk over to yours.
"Hey, hi." He greeted you startling you a little, your eyes going wide when you realized who it was.
"Norman, h-hello." You stammered not expecting him to be there.
"Are you okay?" he asked with a worried smile and you reddened. "You don't look so good..."
"No, I..." You stammered not quite knowing what to answer. "I'm just a little nervous, that's all..."
"Are you sure?" You looked around and approached one of the stewardesses who were at the gate greeting travelers. It wasn't information they had, but Norman managed to get the seat next to his free and walked back to you. "Would you like to sit with me? Maybe a little conversation will help." He offered, gesturing with his head to a few seats further back.
"But...what if that seat is taken?" You hesitated looking at him not understanding his invitation.
"Don't worry, I've asked them to take your seat." He explained taking your hand. "Come on, I don't think the plane won't take long to take off and I can't be here in the middle." He insisted and you nodded nervously, unbuckling your seatbelt in a rush before following your fellow passenger to the seats further back.
Norman took his seat again, buckling up, you sat gingerly next to him. The nice thing about traveling in first class was the comfort of the seats, much more spacious, comfortable and almost individual so you could sleep if you needed to. You had never been able to make that choice, too tense to close your eyes and sleep. You glanced sideways at Norman who was fiddling with his cell phone while chewing on his lower lip. Maybe he wasn't sure what conversation he wanted to have with you either, maybe he had just been trying to be nice, but now he didn't know how to make conversation.
The boarding door closed then, your body tensed up much more, if that was possible, and Norman understood what was happening. You weren't nervous or anxious about the convention, you were scared to fly. You were scared of flying. Which was a bummer since it was practically day to day life, but Norman couldn't blame you. The flight attendant began to give the pre-flight instructions, Norman put the phone in his pocket and tapped your hand that gripped the armrest so tightly that your knuckles were white knuckled. You looked at him for a second to fix your eyes on the stewardess again, but then turned to pay attention to him.
"Hey... I know you're not a kid, but... I have a little trick I used on my son when he was a kid and had the occasional panic attack." He explained feeling a little uncomfortable about telling you that. "If you want..."
"I don't want to bother you..."
"I'd rather you bother me than have us end up full of vomit." He assured you and you sighed lowering your gaze. "Come, when you feel more comfortable just let me know."
You hesitated for a second, not quite sure what Norman wanted to do, you leaned back towards his seat and he covered your ears as he rested your head on his chest. You open your eyes wide, the position not exactly comfortable for either of you, but feeling his hands on your ears, muffling the sound of the engines starting, oddly enough, calms your being a little. Your hands twitch on his chest as the plane begins to accelerate into flight, but Norman's heartbeat is calm, leisurely, a gentle boom-boom that rocks you until the plane is fully airborne and your stomach no longer has that giddy feeling. Carefully, very slowly, you separate from him, both of you looking away, uncomfortable with the situation.
"Th-Thank you..." you whisper feeling much calmer than you expected.
"It was nothing... it's a bitch when we get blocked like that." He tried to understand you and you nodded your head.
"Yeah, because... well I like airplanes, but the first time I got on one... it wasn't exactly what I expected..."
You told it as an anecdote seeing that he nodded his head understanding what you meant, you were silent for a few seconds again, but then curiously the conversation flowed smoothly.
End Flash Back.
Norman wakes up after several hours of travel, the change in altitude has caused a ringing in his ears and that has woken him up. He yawns stretching in his seat and adjusts his cap and glasses before getting up to grab his backpack. He's not there yet, he has a car waiting for him and from there he has several more hours to get to your house. The company that rented him the car assured him that the route would be on the map in the car and that he would have no problem following it. Norman really hoped he wouldn't get lost. He had never been too bad at finding his way around, perhaps that was the only trait he had in common with his character Daryl Dixon. He gets off the plane, picks up his suitcase and walks out of the airport feeling the warm atmosphere of the city suffocate him for a second. There is a man waiting for him with a sign with his name on it. They understand each other although the man's English is not very good, but it is enough for Norman to understand that this is his car, that everything is organized so that he arrives at his destination without problems, that the deposit is full and that when he returns there will be when they make the payment for the rental days. Norman nods giving him an advance for the inconvenience and takes the keys, puts the suitcase in the trunk, leaves the backpack on the passenger seat and sets off on his way.
The trip from the capital to your parents' house is marked on the map and you still have several hours to travel. You have stopped at a service area for a coffee and a bite to eat. Some people have recognized him by taking pictures with him, asking him where he is going and what he is doing out there by himself. Norman hasn't answered too much, he's just on a trip, spending a few days away from the hustle and bustle of the city. He's back in the car and on his way.
It's a little over half a day when he arrives in your hometown, of course the landscape has changed completely since he has left the highway to go there. You let yourself be guided to a parking lot and get out of the car looking around. The heat is not too oppressive, in fact there is a very uncomfortable air that forces you to hold on to your cap so that it doesn't fly off. His head is up all the time contemplating the main square of the town, with the huge church, the town hall, the cobblestone floor, the bars sheltered inside some old arched porches. People have their routine, oblivious to the newcomer. Norman smiles, looking around once more before returning to the car for his backpack and pulling out his camera to take a few shots of the back of the church, right where he parked.
He knows exactly where he needs to go, though he doesn't know how to find it. You told him once that your sister's store was in the center of town, so he shouldn't get lost if he starts his search from where he is. He walks down the slope from the church to the square and approaches one of the bars, a waiter is fixing one of the tables that has just been vacated and he approaches him to ask about your sister's store. He tells you to continue just down the street from the corner of his bar, you will find another square and there it is. Norman nods his thanks for the directions and walks down the pedestrian street. There are stores on both sides, clothes, toys, a travel agency, other bars and even a barbershop. He stops for a second in front of a jewelry store attracted like a ferret by something shiny. He has to admit that there the prices of some items are much more affordable. He continues his way to the square where the waiter has indicated him discovering in its center a nice sculpture of a couple, the boy is lifting the young woman with his arms. He goes back a few steps looking for the angle and takes a couple of pictures. His eyes then catch the name of your sister's store and his hands sweat, but he can't back up, he's already there. He hangs the camera around his neck and moves forward, through the huge decorated window he spots you and another young woman, who he assumes is your older sister, sitting at the counter, talking animatedly. He smiles and opens the door. A tinkling of a soft bell welcomes him. You have your back to him, the first to see him is your sister and his eyes widen as he removes his glasses and places them on top of her cap.
"Finally I found you." He says feigning an exhausted tone and you turn around like a spring.
Okay, so here I come! This is the last part of that serie, I have to say thank you so much for all the reading and love and comments that you gave to me, it meant too much for me. I was a little scared to post something so long, but it worth it.
I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did writing it.
This part it pretty long because I fixed all in one last chapter so... I hope it will not become too boring.
Summary: You are part of a club called the 12 Apostles, you are the daughter of the Leader and Judas is the right hand of your brother, the next leader. Warning: M, Smut (Yes, finally, sorry!), +18.
N/A; I said it’s Lady Gaga’s fault but it’s also Son Of Anarchy’s fault…
N/A: Sorry for my English, it isn't my fisrt language.
(If you want to be on the list, just let me know!)
You look at them crossing your arms, Jax is quite a bit taller than Judas, but Judas doesn't seem to care about those extra inches, he lifted his head, squared his shoulders trying to make himself bigger that way and bites his lower lip while still frowning. Jax doesn't remove the twisted smile from his mouth and it is evident that he wants to fight with the brunet. Jesus stands up as well, banging his head on the table to get his attention. Your father and Clay also get up, not understanding what this is all about.
"I think that for today the meeting is over." Jesus speaks before your Father intervenes and bangs the gavel on the table. Reluctantly Clay manages to get Jax out of there and slowly the 12 Apostles leave as well.
"Leave me with them, Father." He asks the man. "I need you to calm the atmosphere down there." He doesn't look too pleased, but finally he leaves and Jesus closes the door to the meeting room. It's just the three of you; Jesus, Judas and you. You look at both men and it's obvious which Judas has deflated, whatever he was willing to do to Jax for opening his mouth was gone and now he had his eyes fixed on the floor.
"I'm sorry." He says to your brother. "I didn't mean to...I know I shouldn't have...”
“It's okay, brother, this was bound to happen sooner or later..." Jesus shakes his head and lets Judas rest his forehead on his shoulder. You are fed up with the whole situation, you need explanations. You get up from your chair drawing the attention of both men.
"What's going on here? I have anything to say? are you going to raffle me off like I'm a fucking prize?"
"Sis, calm down, it's something we wanted to tell you in due time." Jesus starts, but you don't want to hear it.
"I'm not a fucking object! I don't know what the fuck this all means but I don't belong to anyone!"
"Not yet." Jesus agrees and then looks at Judas who stands silently a few steps behind him observing the whole situation. "Listen, ten years ago, The Father found out about your relationship with Norman." You both shudder as your brother uses his real name. "Our father was angry, our mother almost had a stroke, he sent us on a mission and forced me to punish him..." He mutters and you see the two men lower their heads. "I had to because our father was there watching, but when he left I promised him you would be his, I gave him my blessing so you two could be together later..."
"That's bullshit, I was of age, I could have chosen whoever I felt like, you didn't have to plan anything behind my back." You are angry and you feel your eyes stinging.
"Your Father would never have left us." That's when Judas speaks up. "I may have the title of Vice President but your parents would never have left the club in my hands, even if you were with me... They never forgave what my father did to them, he pretended in front of everyone that he accepted me, but he never trusted me so I had to walk away and he would think it was all over."
"Was Mingus part of the plan too?" you say angrily and wipe away a sneaky tear.
"That doesn't..."
"That doesn't matter now. Our father forced him to bring that woman with him, and the things that have happened can no longer be fixed, but we are trying to have a different future." He explains and you raise your head like a spring, a different future? It's ironic since it's the same thing Judas had told you a few days ago in your apartment about Mingus, about his gallery, did that future also involve the club? Maybe Judas and Norman Reedus weren't as different as you first thought. Still all that doesn't make sense, you can't be Judas' girl, you never accepted that, they can't keep you there as a reserve for when he wants to claim you, things don't work like that. At least you're not going to let them be like that with you. Norman had his chance, you really don't believe what Jesus has said about your father, your father accepted Judas into the club many years ago, it didn't make sense.
"We are trying to change the direction of the club from within." Judas' voice brings you out of your thoughts. "We're fed up with the gun running, the problems with the police, the gangs, we want to make the club legal..." Okay, you have to admit that you weren't expecting that at all.
"We've never said anything to you because you've never been involved in the action, the club's accounts would be reduced but it wouldn't change too much for you... but it's something we have to do when our father is gone." Jesus insists and you stammer not knowing what to say. "I brought Jax and his men because they want the same thing they’re trying to take Clay's position away from him, if we join forces it will be much easier, but it's something we have to do little by little..."
"How many people know?"
"Andy and John... they are the only ones I fully trust." Jesus is sincere and Judas nods you look at them and run your hands over your face trying to process all that. "What I didn't expect is that Jax would want to claim you." At that moment it's your turn to avert your gaze and lower your head in embarrassment. You don't quite remember what happened the night before. You're sure that you and Jax didn't have a moment, it's also true that waking up alone in your bed doesn't mean anything, but you're convinced that if that man had spent the night with you. You would remember. "But I'll talk to him, I'm sure you aren’t a priority for the covenant otherwise... we'll look for someone else." Your brother declares and then sighs. He gently taps his right hand on your shoulder and exits the meeting room leaving you alone.
You don't quite know what to say, you feel the anger has subsided a bit and you feel bad about it, you shouldn't just accept what happened, you feel used and for some strange reason, you feel relief to know what is happening. Somehow it all makes sense; why Judas stopped talking to you, why they disappeared for so long, why the men at the club have never tried to approach you like that, why Judas showed up with that woman as if she was his but they never really hit it off. Everything seemed to fit together like a puzzle and yet you're still overthinking your head. You tense up when you notice that Judas is moving, he has taken out his phone and seems to be looking for something. He approaches you and shows you a photograph. You recognize it, you've seen it in Judas' gallery when you went the other time with Ana, it's blurred, you can't really see what it is, but you don't understand why he's showing it to you either. You look at him and he changes the image, you look down and cover your mouth with both hands to discover that it is the same picture, but now you see clearly what it is; it is Judas, his face is destroyed from a severe beating, broken nose, eyes completely black, split lip and hair mixed in blood and dirt. You look at him and he pulls the phone away from you a little.
"You can think what you want, that's your complete right, but I don't want you to think Jesus is a liar or a traitor to your father. Because he isn't. He did this to me on your father's orders, I'm not blaming him either, he did what he had to do. But he's telling you the truth, we're... he's trying to fix the club, so that no one else gets hurt." You stay quiet, looking at him, his pupils are dilated, there is passion and anger in them, he is not lying to you, they are really plotting something so that the club becomes something legal, something new and good. You don't say anything, you see him go to the door and leave, you need one more moment alone to think.
You take out your cell phone and text Ana asking her if she is alone, she responds positively and asks you if something is wrong, you don't answer, you just pick up your stuff and leave the club. She is your best friend, you need to talk to her, tell her everything that has happened in such a short time, besides John is aware of everything, it's not like you are betraying your brother or something like that.
It takes you twenty minutes to walk from the club to your friend's house, actually you have been almost running, while you were leaving you had heard Andy calling you to take you with his motorcycle, but you had ignored him completely. What you really need is to clear your mind, stop thinking about everything, stop crying like you are doing and control yourself a little, get your mind in order. You arrive at your friend's apartment and knock on the door. Ana takes a few minutes to open the door and when she sees you she lets you hug her, hiding your face on her shoulder, as if you were a little girl who has done something very bad. You go into the apartment and sit on the sofa. Ana doesn't say anything, waiting for you to recover a little and giving you time to talk without feeling pressured. You tell her everything.
You tell her about Judas, about Norman, you tell her about everything you went through together, you tell her about when he disappeared, when he came back with that woman, you tell her about how it was taking care of Mingus, you tell her about the club and the new intentions Jesus has to remodel it from the inside, about how Judas is even with him, they both want to change the club and that's why they need help. You tell him about the beating Jesus gave Judas for being with you at your father's command and that's why he walked away. You tell him about the covenant, the "blessing" Jesus gave Judas to be with you when everything calmed down. You tell him that you are confused, hurt and angry. Your feelings for Judas are still too present and too strong and you hate yourself for it because you should be angry with your brother and with him. But you can't. Ana listens to you without saying anything, she just lets you vent and cry as much as you need to. When you're done you're a snotty mess with red, puffy eyes. Ana hugs you warmly and strokes your hair.
"You want my opinion? I think you should send it all to hell. If it's true that Judas still wants to be with you, why not have fun? I think I told you that before and I'll tell you again. Have fun, he's been having fun out there no matter how much he says he loves you..."
"Well it's not like I've been in a convent either..."
"No, but I'm sure he turns you on quite a bit more." She smiles wiggling her eyebrows, you laugh and run your hands over your face and nod.
"I guess you're right... sorry for just popping in like that it's just... I needed to talk to someone."
"Hey don't apologize to me. We've been friends for many years, if you didn't tell me these things I'd be offended."
You look at her again gratefully and consider what she has told you. It could be good, remembering those moments with Judas, with Norman, when you were together. However you're not entirely sure if you could handle it. You need to think it through. The rest of the day you spend together, you watch a movie, you talk about nothing in particular, Ana tells you how things are going with John, something that makes you happy and you enjoy the fact that they are doing well. Afterwards you go out and have some fun, girls' night out and your mind wanders a bit and everything seems to weigh a little less. The rest of the night you forget about everything.
A few days pass after the meeting that the club had with Sons of Anarchy, At first it's awkward for you to run into Jax around the club, but the blond seems fun. On one of those afternoons when you're in your office, Jax walks into your office surprising you, there's a soft, mischievous smile on his face as he nods at you.
"May I?"
"Yeah, sure, come on in." You smile setting the ledgers aside. The blond closes the door behind himself and advances to your desk. "Is something wrong?"
"I wanted to apologize, Jesus told me what's going on between you and Judas." You look at him in surprise and lower your head feeling your cheeks redden a little.
"You don't have to apologize, there's nothing going on between him and me.... Not anymore, it happened a long time ago and now things are .... complicated." You sigh heavily because this topic is starting to wear on you. "But I do want to ask you something, did something happen between us the other night, why did you want me to be part of the deal?" You look at him confused and he smiles in amusement with a shrug.
"I thought it would sound more interesting if I wanted to have you in my gang, which your father wouldn't hesitate to agree to on those terms, Clay was looking forward to it too, but I didn't expect your guard dog to interfere."
"I'm sorry... And he's not my guard dog..." You try to justify Judas and see the blond's smirk, you roll your eyes and shake your head. "Whatever... And what about the other thing?"
"No, nothing happened, not out of desire I have to say, you have an impressive alcohol resistance, but you fell asleep at the bar like a baby and that guy.... Andy, took you to the room and politely told me to stay still or he'd blow my balls off."
"Yeah... Sounds like Andy, but more British." You joke and he laughs with you nodding his head. "Sorry..." You apologize anyway and he shrugs.
"There's nothing to forgive, I doubt the night would have ended like that, it sounds to me like that guy, he's more in your head than you want to admit."
You lower your gaze at that and feel your cheeks burn as your pulse quickens, he doesn't know you two at all and yet he knew how to read you perfectly. You feel him move again to get closer to you, but then the door opens, Jesus and his companions appear through the door and suddenly the atmosphere becomes rarefied. Mentally you hope that no one misunderstands the situation.
"You've come up early for the meeting" John comments with a menacing tone in his voice.
"I had some things to work out with your Sister." He says with a shrug and leans over giving you a kiss on the cheek, you redden and out of the corner of your eye you see Judas frown hard. Great.
The meeting is only with some members of the gang, they have tricked the old bosses to show him the district and how they work there to try to convince them in the union of both gangs. What they agree to is irrelevant, what really matters to Jesus is that Jax agrees to their terms and conditions, that his people support the move and prevail over the old blood.They still have a lot of things to work out to help them with their gang problems. Jax seems to be trying to do the same thing with his gang as Jesus did in the 12 Apostles, but Clay isn't making it easy for him either; the old blood relies on the old ways, on what kept them all safe, risking his people trying to legalize everything seems like a joke, which should be a good thing for everyone, apparently it's fucking crazy.
You haven't had a moment to talk with Judas again, he's busy with the club and his gallery, Mingus tells you he's getting to the apartment pretty late, exhausted, but he seems happy, surely the pictures are selling well and that future he so longs for his son is closer. You too have been avoiding him locked up in the office, at work or at home, there was always some excuse not to be too close to the club when all your brother's men were there.
However Ana's words keep echoing in your head "have fun" she had told you that day when you arrived full of snot and your eyes swollen from crying so much, like a damn baby. Your feelings towards Judas, towards Norman, have not changed, you know it is something difficult to happen, you have even been in love with him all your life, but the pain of deceit and lies is still too present in you, they do not let you take the step you would like, or at least try.
You sigh because you don't really know how you got here. The night before you had a shift at the hospital, you slept all day today and you were like a damn owl on the couch at home not knowing what to do. You've changed shifts with Ana so you couldn't meet up with her to go to the club to drink and play some pool. You were face down on the couch, staring at nothing when you decided to take a shower, put on something nice and go for a walk. What you didn't expect was that your feet, shod in nice, comfortable black booties, would carry you to the door of Norman's gallery. You tremble shifting your weight from one foot to the other undecided, you don't know if he might be there, you don't know if you are able to face him or you will just turn around and go home. You swallow saliva releasing your hair, arranging it on your shoulders and you enter, maybe you are not as elegant as the last time you were there, but the young woman who is at the door controlling the entrance and exit doesn't seem to care, she smiles at you and you get lost among the pictures. Many have been sold, which makes you happy, being replaced by more extravagant ones, by casual moments and some new ones of Norman with Mingus, where you never see anyone's face, but you recognize them. You're curious if there are any new photos of you, but you find nothing. It's a little disappointing, your smile weakens a little, when you feel your shoulder being tapped. Your whole body tenses up believing that Judas has discovered you and you have no good excuse to explain how you got there. However when you turn around you sigh in relief to discover that it is the same young woman who was at the entrance. You look at her in confusion and she seems a little nervous.
"Mr. Reedus didn't warn us that you would be here by before the opening." She says and you frown.
"He didn’t know I was coming...what opening?"
"He's opened another room in the gallery, it's a new exhibition." She seems hesitant, as if she's telling you something you weren't supposed to know, at least not at the moment. You start to get pissed off at all the secrets Judas is having with you, as if you have no say in it.
"Can I see it? I won't say anything to Ju... to Norman." You tell her rectifying his name at the last moment. "I'd love to see what he's doing, he said something about some new pictures, but he never tells me anything." You feign an innocent pout and the young woman seems to take pity on you.
The two of you walk to one of the rooms in the gallery that you hadn't seen before, it's all dark but you see a huge sign that says "The Judas’ secret, new opening " which makes your confusion and curiosity increase. The girl at the entrance turns on the light so that the room is illuminated and leaves you there to return to her work. You hesitate for a moment, reading once again the sign at the entrance " The Judas’ secret ", take a deep breath and enter the room. You are petrified when you discover what the theme is about. They are pictures of you. All of them. You should feel strange, you should feel uncomfortable and even be angry with him for exposing you like this without your permission, but you can't. They're not just pictures of you. They are not only photos of you alone, but moments, memories, moments with him, as always your faces are hidden by something, a hand, hair, blurred when Judas edited them, but you recognized the places, that precise moment came back to your memory. There are many of your relationship, when you escaped from the club, when you got lost, when you hid in his apartment and the nights turned into day and you kept enjoying each other. It isn’t a finished room, as the girl told you, there are things missing, you see the holes, you see the plaques but not the images. You walk around the room stopping at some images that are more recent. You are alone, distracted, observing the nothingness, smiling, talking with the boys, enjoying the company, you are with Mingus, taking care of the child, playing with him, enjoying his presence. Judas has never stopped looking for you, never stopped having an eye on you. It's something that these photos show you and you feel it tighten in your chest. You stop in front of one in particular. You are asleep on your desk, with the club's account books on the table and serving you as a pillow, your face is relaxed, you are in a deep sleep and on your back, covering you like a blanket, you are wearing the club's Judas vest, but that's not what catches your attention, behind you, blurred because the target of the photo was really you, is him, sitting on the couch in the office, quiet, with his elbows on his knees, one hand on his chin and his eyes on you, watching over you, protecting you without you being aware of it.
Another photo catches your attention much more strongly than the previous one, located next to the one you just saw. Your body shudders and memories flood you for an instant. The image projects your hands, you are holding hands, your fingers intertwined and on your ring finger rests a plastic ring. It's stupid, but for you it meant a promise.
You remember that day, Judas had returned from a mission after two weeks out of town. You arrived at his apartment that night, sneaking out of your parents' house like you used to do. When you entered the house and greeted Eye you went straight to meet Norman who was already waiting for you with dinner ready. It was an intense night, it had been a long two weeks for you and seeing the man again had ignited a flame inside you wanting to devour him completely. Lying on the couch, you were caressing Jude's chest with affection when the man looked at you holding your hand in his.
"Marry me." He asked sliding the plastic ring from one of the bottles down your finger. Your chest squeezed at that moment and you hugged him crying on his shoulder.
"Yes..."
After that pretending you had no feelings for him when you were with the rest of the band was hard, you just wished you were coming of age so you could be with Judas in a formal way at last, but that never happened. A few months later the man came back from his longest mission with the gang and with that woman under his arm. Your heart broke into a thousand pieces as Judas stopped addressing you, there was always someone in the way, he never had a moment alone for you to explain what had happened. Little by little you began to build a wall over your heart so that the pain would disappear and when The Father gave the news that she was pregnant, the walls became stronger.
But now...
You leave the gallery with a thousand thoughts in your mind, you feel agitated, confused and too eager to scream. Your life was so much easier before, how had it suddenly become so complicated? You walk with your hands under your armpits feeling the cold of the night, you should go home and stop thinking about everything, however your feet have taken a different direction, but first you will buy some dinner.
Judas is concentrating on his computer, he’s a little late with the new exhibition he has planned, he doesn't have too much material, there are many of them that he wants to keep just for himself, so choosing is being a real odyssey. He rubs his chin with some despair and sighs as his brain collapses once again. It's too late. Another day will follow. He turns off the computer running his hands over his face and hair leaning back in his chair. He hears Mingus laughing in the living room of the huge apartment and smiles, maybe enjoy a little of the small clear his mind and, for another day, make his work easier. He leaves his small office turning off the light and closing the door, it is one of the only places in the house that Mingus and Eye in the Dark are totally forbidden to enter. He heads into the living room to discover his little boy playing with the cat that has hidden under the side table and attacks his feet every time he walks past. Eye is gentle with the boy, not using his claws to catch him, stretching out his paws and swiping at his feet when he detects them, but not intending to hurt him. Mingus throws himself on the carpet and scares the little black cat who runs off into the rooms, Mingus goes after him without thinking. Judas opens his mouth to tell the little guy to calm down a bit when there is a knock at the door.
He frowns slightly and looks at the clock, it's too late to expect any visitors. He stands in the middle of the hallway and checks his phone. He doesn't have any messages or calls from his brothers at the club, so it must not be them. He walks slowly when he hears another call, next to the door he has a small cabinet where he leaves his keys, he slowly opens the drawer trying not to make noise and takes out a gun, places the barrel against the door and looks through the peephole. He is petrified to discover who is on the other side. He quickly puts the gun back in the drawer and yanks open the door.
"What…?" The surprise is more than evident in his voice. You stand there, head bowed holding a paper bag with a few tokens of takeout. His brow furrows because he doesn't understand anything.
"Hello..." You mutter daring to raise your head at last to face him. You're dead embarrassed, you've been debating for half an hour whether to go up or not, you've called the elevator two or three times and fled the first two when the doors opened before you. Yet now you're there and you don't even know what to say. "Are you hungry? I brought some dinner..." It's a start though you know Judas isn't expecting that answer, though he hasn't asked you the question either. You see him bite his thumbnail for a second before letting go of the door and stepping aside.
"Sure, come in."
"Is Mingus in?"
"Sure, where do you want him to be?" you know he doesn't mean to sound annoyed with you, it's just something so obvious that father and son should be together that he seems to be hurt by your hesitation.
"No, sorry, you're right." You shake your head. "I had a late shift last night and my brain cells haven't yet..." You try to justify yourself.
"Is that why you're here?" Curiosity is now evident in him. You grab your bags and make your way to the kitchen, you know that damn place like it was your own home. Maybe one day it was. You look around, not much has changed, if you discover any renovations in the living room, it's a little smaller, it looks like he's expanded the terrace, probably so he can play with Mingus there on nice days in New York, he still has plenty and plenty of room.
You both enter the kitchen. Judas looks curiously at the bags of food and takes out the Chinese food you ordered, checking the tupperware. He smiles. He seems satisfied with the choice you made when ordering. It's not like it's the first time you've done it, to tell you the truth, this way you had an advantage. You don't quite know what to say, you know that Judas has left a question up in the air, that he hasn't insisted on it, but he's waiting for you to answer. You twitch nervously, ready to open your mouth, when your body lurches forward with a small tackle. You gasp in surprise, eyes wide, look down and see Mingus clutching at your legs like a burning nail.
"Auntie!" he shouts with joy and you feel him squeeze you a little tighter. You smile and stroke his blond hair. In the position he's holding you you can't turn around and hug him back, you have to wait for him to pull away. Out of the corner of your eye you spot Judas on the other side of the counter, leaning with his hands on the edge of the counter, tensing his arms, squaring his broad shoulders, he looks at you with a soft smile that rubs off on you. "You came!" he releases you at last, and you are able to bend down and hug him. "Dad said you'd come to see us when you’ll be less busy." He smiles broadly and your heart skips a beat.
"Hey champ, sorry I took so long, I've been a little... busy, yeah." You don't know how to justify yourself to him, in theory fooling the little guy should be easier, but when you look at him you are unable to. "But I'm here now, and I've brought dinner."
"Actually, Mingus has already had dinner." You hear Judas' voice on the other end and slowly you sit up to look at him. His little smile is now twisted and mocking. "You always over ask, never learn." He tells you and you know he's joking. It has always happened to you, it's true. Whenever you ordered takeout you would always repeat the leftovers the next day, at first it was a little frustrating, then you started to see it as a huge advantage.
"Whatever's left over for tomorrow." You say without being too aware of what that means, however Judas is, and his pupils dilate for a moment.
"Sure..." His voice sounds deeper, like a growl, but you don't pick up on it. Mingus has captured much of your attention. He talks non-stop, telling you about everything you've missed those days you've been "busy " he tells you about school, his homework, the trips to the club, his evenings at Andy's house playing with his kids, he tells you that his father has also been very busy those days and finally he tells you about his little adventures with Eye. You laugh about it all and feel a little sorry for the cat. Eye has always been a bit wild, he doesn't tolerate human petting too much, he has always preferred Judas to you and now he even seems to be more protective of the little guy. "Come on, Mingus." Again Judas' voice brings you out of your thoughts. "It's time to go to bed."
"What, but auntie just got here!" He pouts enormously. "And I'm not sleepy!"
"Of course you are." The man smiles as he watches him rub his eyes trying to stay awake. "Eye is already waiting for you in bed and you know it, plus you have school tomorrow."
"But..." He turns to you, looking for support and you look at him apologetically.
"I'm sorry, kiddo, but your father is right. I promise you that another day I will come earlier and we can play as much as you want." You tell him and he seems quite happy with this, Mingus yawns loudly and Judas comes to his rescue by taking him in his arms, the little boy leans against his chest, all the energy he had playing with Eye is gone in a flash. Judas looks at you and he walks down the corridor with the child in his arms. You hesitate for a second and follow him down the hallway a few steps behind. Judas enters the little boy's room, decorated to perfection, with various toys scattered everywhere and a bed decorated with superhero sheets. You stand in the doorway of the room watching as Judas lays the little boy on the bed, tucks him in and kisses his forehead lovingly. Mingus is a bit of a nag and looks up at you. It's obvious he expects you to say goodnight too. You smile and approach the boy as his father steps aside. You kiss him on the cheek and wish him good night. The two of you leave the room as the little boy falls asleep.
You two return to the kitchen. You don't open your mouths, there is a strange atmosphere, to be honest you didn't expect to be alone with him so soon, you would have liked to enjoy Mingus a little longer but you were too late. You help Judas place the dinner things on the side table next to the sofa. You unfold it and sit down on the comfortable sofa. Your back seems to remember its comfort because suddenly your body relaxes and your mind regales you with various memories of everything that couch has been through and seen. Judas' gasps and moans dull your ears and your body shudders as you let the memories wash over you. Judas next to you passes you one of the tuppers of Chinese food and with trembling hands you pick it up putting some on your plate. He eats, for a few minutes, in silence, but he is a nervous and overly curious person and for you to be there, without saying anything, as if it were part of the daily plan. Like a routine. He drops his silverware and turns to look at you as he rubs his chin with his hand and then rests it there, still looking at you.
"Are you going to tell me at some point what's going on?" he finally speaks and you stop eating too.
"At some point..." You agree without daring to look at him.
"Today? Or will you wait for any other opportunity to run away?" there's irony in his voice, you can see he's not well either, after the conversation in the office and him revealing to you that you belonged to him things had become tense at the club and you avoiding him doesn't help either.
"Don't talk to me like that..." You sigh setting your silverware down on your plate and shake your head. "I don't know what I'm doing here..." You say at last. His gaze is locked on you, much more intense than before and it makes you nervous. "I've been thinking about you since that day in the office... how I should feel..."
"Have you figured it out?" he asks patiently, turns his body slightly towards you, resting an elbow on the back of the couch.
"No, but..." You sigh and dare to look at him. "I guess that's why I'm here, I... I was at home not knowing what to do, I went outside and started walking... I got to the gallery." You look at him again and see him tense his jaw slightly, biting his lip nervously. "I saw the exhibition... the new one" You whisper quietly, you appreciate how his body tenses, but he still doesn't change his gesture. You can see his pupils dilate and the blue color of his eyes take on an electric hue. Dangerous.
"Have you seen it?" he asks, his voice low, with a growl.
"Yes... I didn't know... I didn't think..."
"What? Say it, you didn't believe, what, that I was serious?" He sounds angry, growls like a wounded animal, but his gesture remains calm, controlling. "I've always been there, for you, I've always watched over you. I'm not going to justify what I did, because I can't, because I was stupid, but within that; I never stopped caring about you. I couldn't be with you, I couldn't make a false step. Anything that would cause your father to find out I was seeing you again would mean the end. He would have done anything to keep you away. He would have taken you away, as far away from me as possible, he would have killed me and if he didn't succeed, I would have gone crazy trying to find out where he had hidden you."
"You could have told me..."
"Don't you listen to me? I couldn't risk you, I couldn't just walk up and talk to you, it wasn't that simple. I have let my guard down now that Jesus is reasserting his power in the club. Your Father is old and growing weaker every day. I have no love for him and I truly hope he dies suffering, but when that happens, I can claim you." He said releasing air forcefully through his nose, like a bull.
"I'm not an object you can reserve in a store, you know, I'm a person, I have my own thoughts, I make my own decisions, I have an opinion about this... You can't expect me to wait until..." You fall silent and lower your head in pain, scared to death, but mostly ashamed.
"You can't wait for what?" He calls out to you, suddenly his voice sounds terribly close, his warm breath vibrates against your head. "Look at me." It's a command dragged out in a thick gasp. Slowly you lift your head to look at him, his breath is ragged, it runs all over your face and your noses collide. "Can't you wait, for what?" he insists.
"For you to claim me... I've been waiting too long for you; I can't take it anymore.”
His mouth crashes against yours. It is violent, desperate, his mouth encompasses and demands upon yours, his tongue bursts inside your mouth and tangles with your own tongue. His hand closes tightly on the back of your neck, pulls at your hair and a moan escapes you. There is no gentleness, at least not now. Judas' free hand tightens on your thigh and moves up to your waist to press your body as close to his as possible. As if he wants to melt into you. His mouth mistreats yours, kisses you desperately, bites your lips leaving them red and swollen. But you don't care, you need more. When you are able to reciprocate you wrap your arms around his neck to kiss him intensely, panting against his mouth for some air, but he gives you no respite. The food has clearly taken a back seat, as has your conversation. Judas pulls you up to straddle his waist. You settle in by giving the table a little kick, it's too close to your wiggle room, but right now neither of you seem to care that something might end up in the dream and stain the carpet. There will be time for that.
You pull away from Judas' mouth at last, he goes back on the attack but you bite the top of his ear and he stops, his hands tightening on your waist. You gasp at the feel of him, you trap his lobe between your lips giving him a little tug, he grunts as you move down to his neck, you kiss and bite his skin. You sit on his lap and move against him, causing some friction between the two of you, hearing him let out a longer gasp. His hands move from your waist to your booties yanking them off, one of them hits the table and the plate jumps, but stays in place. Judas moves his hands up again, unloads one of his hands on your buttock and you groan at the sensation of discomfort that has ruffled your hair. He repeats the action, but this time, after the spanking, he grabs your cheek and you moan louder into his ear.
"Calm down, girl." He says against your lips. "We don't want to wake Mingus..." You gasp and shake your head, look up at him and kiss him biting his lip.
"Let's go to bed..." You whisper in his ear and before you can even move, he grabs your thighs and stands up with you on top of him. You can't help but let out a gasp of surprise holding tightly to his shoulders, you feel him laugh and you bite his ear again. He stops in the hallway pinning you against the wall.
"Don't do that..." He growls glaring at you. The shove against the wall has knocked the wind out of you, but you recover enough to grin mischievously at him.
"Why, are you just not able to control yourself, have you gotten too old?" You provoke him and you can see his gaze darken once again, however this time you feel some fear as he pushes you away from the wall.
"You're going to regret that." He assures you.
You enter the room, he releases you long enough to turn and close the door. You back away, trying to put some control in the situation, but it's clear that your comment has touched his pride more than you expected. He moves towards you, like an animal surveying its prey, pupils dilated, his blue color has turned dark, electric, he has squared his back and shoulders and surprisingly looks much larger, he pulls his arms back to pull his t-shirt over his head and drops it to the floor. You shiver at the image before you and unconsciously squeeze your legs together. Judas senses this and smiles, licking his lips as he continues to move closer to you. Your legs crash against the mattress and before you can pull away, Judas has laid you down on the mattress, getting on top of you. He kisses you, his mouth dominating yours, leaving your lips red and swollen again, he moves down your neck, licks and bites the skin under your ear knowing that for you it is an extremely sensitive area, you throw your head back unable to hold back a moan. You wrap your arms around his neck pulling his hair slightly, but Judas pulls away holding you by the wrists, putting them above your head.
"Is it that you can't resist touching me, little girl?" he says wryly and you smile defiantly. "Are you like a desperate old woman?" He finishes and you can't help but laugh heartily.
Your laughter is cut short by another nibble on your neck, you want to hug him again, but you're not going to give him that satisfaction, you grab the sheets and stretch your neck giving him more space. He goes down slowly, runs his mouth over it, down your collarbone, bites the bone leaving a small mark, goes down a little more and bites again, this time your chest, over the fabric of your t-shirt and over your bra. You smile because he seems really desperate. He pulls your shirt up to pull it over your head and you can see he smiles triumphantly when he discovers that your bra has a front clasp. He unclasps it and yanks it off you. You moan low as his mouth takes over one of your breasts, he licks your nipple, sucks and pinches it with his teeth, you arch at the sensation of pleasure, his free hand catches your other breast massaging it and squeezing the nipple, you moan low and bite your lip trying to control yourself, but he isn’t making it easy for you. You feel him open your legs and place a knee between them, he presses on your center and a shiver of pleasure runs through you at the sensation of pressure against your clit. He pulls away from you, gets up from the bed and pulls your pants down to drop them somewhere in the room, unceremoniously. His own pants go next and you discover to your amusement that he isn’t wearing any underwear. He's at home, why should he wear them? You bite your lip with some need, it's been too long since you've seen him totally naked. You sit on the bed and spread your legs wider, offering yourself. Judas approaches ready to lay you down again, however when he reaches your height, you grab his cock and begin to slowly masturbate him. Judas grunts as he watches you lick your lips before grabbing his erection from the base and taking it into your mouth. You suck and lick his glans taking as much as you can into your mouth. Judas gasps and moans hoarsely holding you by the hair moving his hips slightly against your mouth. You relax your throat and hold onto his waist feeling him push into your mouth, not too hard, not too deep. You feel him swell and get even harder with each suck with each thrust. He pulls away from you when he feels he's ready and lays you back down on the bed. He kneels in front of you taking off your last remaining garment. He spreads your legs apart and sinks his head between them. You arch up on the mattress feeling his tongue run all over your sex, as his fingers spread your wet folds and he slips a finger in without getting too much resistance. You gasp and moan as his mouth closes around your clit, he licks and sucks combined with his fingers that keep moving inside you. You move your hips not knowing whether to push against his mouth or fuck yourself on his fingers. You feel like your head is going to explode with pleasure, Judas holds you back with his free hand so you can't move. However you can't hold on much longer, his mouth on your sensitive muscle is ravaging your whole body, you feel the pleasure bursting in your lower abdomen expanding to the rest of your body, you moan loudly and shudder against his fingers, which he doesn't stop moving at any moment, feeling the spasms of your body due to the orgasm. You are still trembling when you feel the absence of his fingers inside you. You try to focus your gaze to see him lying on top of you. He holds your legs below your knees and guiding his cock to your entrance, he rams in one thrust. You cry out, but Judas shuts you up with his own mouth, you feel him snort and pant like an animal. He stands still inside you, you feel him throbbing, how your walls still sensitive from your orgasm clench around him wetting his entire cock, making him slide deeper. You gasp and Judas moans in your ear.
"Fuck... you don't know how much... I missed this..."He gasps, but still doesn't move, he lets you brace your legs against his waist and his hands rest on the mattress to look up at you. "Always so tight for me." He moves slowly, thrusts hard, erratic, you groan and dig your nails into his arms.
"Norman!" You call out to him desperately, wrapping your arms around his shoulders.
"You're mine, little girl." He thrusts hard again and you roll your eyes, that's going to kill you. "Mine..." He growls in your ear.
"I'm yours, Norman..." you assure him and move under his body, you see him bite his lip and his thrusts suddenly take on a faster pace, desperate, pounding mercilessly inside you, deep, and intense. "Oh God, Norman!" you cry out wanting to keep up with his rhythm, tightening around his cock. You hear him moan, hear him curse under his breath. He falls on top of your body, his hands sinking under the mattress to grip your ass and ram so hard you fear he might actually break you in two. You wrap your arms around his shoulders, dig your nails into his back and Judas moans once more in your ear. He tenses suddenly, his fingers squeeze your buttocks tightly and he thrusts one more single time feeling himself spilling inside you as he moans languidly hiding his face in your shoulder trying to catch his breath. You continue to embrace him, your whole body trembles from your own pleasure, your nails loosen his skin and caress the marks you have left. You kiss his cheek, his temple, you kiss his shoulder and his neck and you hear him purr.
"I am yours..." He whispers and you open your eyes wide, smile and hug him tighter against you, if that's possible.
You stay like that for a while, Judas doesn't move from on top of you, you don't mind either because he's not carrying all his weight on you, he's just hugging you, arms resting on both sides of your body, his face hidden in the hollow of your shoulder. He's still inside you, you can feel him slowly losing his strength, but still doesn't pull away. Your arms are still around his shoulders, caressing his hair, damp with sweat. You feel him move, repositioning himself, fitting his legs better under yours that continue to encircle his waist.
"God, you don't know how much I've missed this." He murmurs against your skin, making your hair stand on end.
"Come on, it's not like you haven't fucked the girls at the club."
"It's not the same... I missed being here, like this... inside you." He clarifies and a small laugh escapes you, cut off by a thrust of your hips. You gasp because you're surprised, he's just cummed and you feel him getting hard inside you again. He sits up slightly on top of you, just to look at you. He thrusts inside you again and you arch slightly as you feel him slowly harden, expanding your insides, still sensitive from your orgasm.
You have to admit, you missed him too, in every way, but certainly now what you feel is that you missed his cock. You kiss him eagerly, hold him by the back of the neck so he doesn't pull away and move under his body. You feel him gasp and push a little harder. You moan and arch your back. Your mind takes you back to the old days, when Judas seemed to have no limit and you smile. Maybe calling him old has hurt him more than you expected, but it amuses you.
"I see you missed me too." You hear him gasp while still moving tremendously slow.
"A little." You laugh against his shoulder, but nudge him lightly with your knee in his side.
He watches you bite your lip, he seems to hesitate but carefully pulls out of you joining you a little more, you join him in turn and knock him backwards. Judas lets himself be done without looking away from you, you squeeze his erection in your hand slowly masturbating him, feeling how he recovers all his thickness against your palm. You smile leaning over it ready to put it in your mouth, but he stops you. You look at him blankly, but he gestures for you to come to him. You straddle his waist and he nuzzles your waist.
"Today I just want to feel myself inside you." He growls, holds your cheeks forcing you to lie on top of him to kiss you. You sigh long, settle on top of him and move against him, press his new erection between you and move, exerting pleasurable pressure against your own clit as you moisten his cock with your own fluids, but still not letting it enter you. "Fuck, babe..." He moans low squeezing your ass with both hands.
"You're an impatient." You kiss his chest, move up his neck, bite his lobe, still moving, feeling his fingers crisp more on your skin. "Have you always been like this?"
"You know damn well I am." One of his hands whips you and you moan into his ear getting wet further if that's even possible.
You seek his mouth to kiss him once more, needily, trying to control the situation a little more. Judas reciprocates holding you by the back of the neck so you don't pull away. You bite his lips, lick inside his mouth and pull away, tugging lightly on his lip, hearing him moan low. You sit on top of him and watch him lick your lips, grab his cock and slowly feel him enter you as you sit on his erection. Judas grits his teeth spreading his legs a little apart, settling under your body to help you move, his hands tighten on your waist as he is fully inside you. You moan low and lean back slightly, leaning back on his legs and begin to move slowly. Judas moans low, his hands squeezing and massaging the skin of your hips, but he holds still, letting you take control, at least for now.
Slowly you increase the speed of your hips. Judas' hands hold you tightly, but he can't hold on any longer. He thrusts under your weight, upward, hard, giving you no respite. You cry out in pleasure, arching further over his body, trying to keep up with the cruel rhythm of his thrusts under your body. You both moan as Judas joins in, leaving you both sitting on the mattress, moving intensely, resting your foreheads on each other, feeling your orgasm much closer than either of you expected, feeling the sensation run through your lower abdomen and explode with such force that it takes your breath away. You open your mouth unable to utter a sound the pleasure devouring you from within. Judas rests his head on your chest and his fingers dig into your skin leaving a mark as he cums inside you. You gasp at the sensation of his cum leaking inside you, you hug his shoulders feeling your body still trembling from the violent climax that has enveloped you in a few seconds. Judas’ hands loosen around your waist, just stroking you slowly, from your waist up your back and up your sides. He holds you carefully lying on top of him, you place your legs better on his sides and lean on his chest caressing his arms still around you. You smile because he is still inside you and can feel his cum dripping out of you, completely full. You sigh closing your eyes, your body is exhausted and your head starts to disconnect as you feel Judas’ fingers making soft circles on your back, relaxing in an unexpected way.
"Dad?" You hear on the other side of the door and as it is opened slightly.
"Mingus!" Judas shouts pulling you in, turning with you so that he was hiding your nakedness from the boy, however the door stops and the little boy doesn’t enter. You feel Judas pull out of you and cover you with the sheets as he stands up and pulls on some boxers from his drawer and hurries to the door, opening it just a little.
"What's wrong, champ?" You hear him leave the room and the muffled voice of the boy telling you possibly about some nightmare he's had and why he's gotten up looking for his father. You sigh and feel a small fit of laughter and embarrassment come over you and you pull the covers over your face to muffle the sound of your nervous laughter. Judas walks to his son's room and climbs him into bed and tucks him back in. He has had a rather complicated nightmare and seems quite nervous, Judas comforts him slowly, trying to calm that nervousness by kissing him on the forehead. Slowly Mingus becomes calm, Eye settles down next to him and purrs loudly. Judas smiles and strokes his son's new fur. "Come on, time to sleep again." He tells him and the boy smiles. "But first, you have to promise me one thing, buddy... never come into my room." He asks him, his voice is calm, loving, there's no threat, no anger, he's just asking him. "Will you do me that favor? No matter what you hear. Call me and I'll come get you, okay?"
"Yes, Dad, I'm sorry..."
"Don't be sorry, you haven't done anything wrong." He assures him and kisses him on the cheek. "Good night, buddy, I love you."
"Good night, Daddy." He whispers and settles under the covers. Judas pats Eye in the Dark and making sure once again that the boy is comfortable, he turns off the light and leaves the room.
He stands in the hallway for a moment and then heads back to his room, running his hands over his head, combing his hair back slightly, leaving it even messier than it already is. He enters the room ready to apologize to you but remains silent. You have fallen asleep in his bed, wrapped in his sheets and hugging his pillow you rest peacefully with your breathing steady and your face totally relaxed. He smiles half-sideways closing the door behind him again and walks over to the bed. Trying not to wake you up he lies down next to you and wraps his arms around your body, he pulls you close to his body and you stir a little, settling against him but you don't wake up. Judas kisses you on the head lovingly before resting his chin on your head and closing his eyes, falling asleep shortly afterwards.
The sun wakes you up the next day, you let out a little groan because you feel your body heavy, exhausted, despite having slept like a baby you feel that even your hair hurts. You need a moment to remember where you are, how you got there rather. You are bored at home, you left without a specific direction but you arrived at the Judas gallery, you discovered the new exhibition of the two of you and wanted to go home, however your feet took you to the house you weren't thinking about. You groan low hiding your face in the pillow and the scent of Judas floods your nostrils. You open your eyes at last discovering you are alone in the room. The sun is high so it must be late, you get out of bed feeling your legs tremble a little and you redden realizing why your whole body hurts. You go into Judas' bathroom and take a quick shower, under the water you discover on your skin several reddened marks in the shape of Judas' fingers, you smile and get out when you finish showering.
When you return to the room, Judas is still not there. You open the closet looking for some of the man's clothes and surprise floods you. There are clothes of yours there; neatly folded, laid out and clean, as if they were waiting for you, of course they are clothes from when you were younger and some of those things no longer fit you, but you can't help the surprise turning into a nostalgic smile and your heart gives a strong beat. Judas has always been waiting for you. You take a T-shirt that despite being old is big, you wore it to sleep at that time and now it can serve you, you take some sweatpants that surely when you put them on will surely be above your ankles. You open a drawer inside the closet and you laugh when you discover your underwear, even the panties you threw at him not more than a month ago. You take everything and when you are dressed you get up the courage to leave the room. The house seems quiet, however you hear a soft conversation possibly coming from the kitchen, in the hallway Eye is sitting, watching you, he gets up and approaches you rubbing against your legs, you smile and take him in your arms giving him a kiss on the head feeling that you have missed him more than you thought. You walk with him in your arms to the kitchen where Judas is having breakfast with Mingus who upon seeing you appear through the door is surprised to see you and laughs at the sight of your clothes. Judas turns to see you as well and an amused smile comes across his face as he raises his eyebrows. Your cheeks redden slightly and you shrug your shoulders.
"Good morning." You try to appear natural and walk towards them.
"Good morning, Sleeping Beauty." Judas jokes and gets up from his stool, you freeze because you don't know what he's going to do, however he walks past you, pulls out a cup and pours you a coffee, you breathe easy again, until he hands you the cup and gives you a kiss on the cheek. "Did you sleep well?"
"Y... yes." You stammer reddening, make your coffee to your liking then sit on the free stool next to Judas, Mingus doesn't take his eyes off you and you start to get nervous.
"Did you stay over?" It's an obvious question but you still nod your head. "Where? The guest room..."
"She slept with me, Mingus." Jude explains without cutting himself with a knife and you look at him with wide eyes. He's a five-year-old boy who doesn't understand a lot of things yet, but it's certainly not the best thing he could say to him. The kid can misunderstand things, you guys haven't even talked. You don't even know if you want to.
"Auntie and you...?" He starts with an exaggerated frown and makes a confused grimace. "Are you two together?" And there's the misunderstanding from an innocent, immature mind of a child. You gasp like a fish, you see Judas turn his head towards you, his smile is mocking and amused as he rubs his goatee beard.
"Don't look at me, you brought this on yourself." You say to Judas and watch as he smiles wider and then laughs through his nose. He turns to his son and you see him open his mouth. Unfortunately you have provoked what is to come so you can't stop it in time either.
"Yes, Mingus, we are together." His smile is sincere as much as the boy's surprise, you want to smash the coffee cup over his head, but it's clear he's not finished. "She's my wife, you know what that means? That she's mine, just like I'm hers." Your body shudders at his words, Mingus' confusion is evident, these are terms that such a young child is counted on to understand, but he still smiles because his father does and that means what he's telling him is good. "You can't tell anyone, it's our little secret, the three of us." He continues and Mingus puts his hands to his mouth making it clear that he won't say anything, your heart melts and you feel like hugging the little blondie. "I promise it won't be forever. When the club stabilizes, I'm going to make it formal." This time he's not talking to Mingus, but to you, you turn to look at him and frown slightly.
"We've already talked about this, Judas, and I don't think in front of Mingus..."
"I don't want you to be Judas' wife..." He cuts you off and again you freeze. "I want you to be my wife, mine for real. Of who I really am; Norman Reedus. I want you to call me by my name, like you always did, I want you to come back here, I want you to stay here with me, with us... because that's really where you belong. I love you." Your breath hitches because that overtakes you for a few seconds, it's a statement, a formal statement, Judas, no, Norman is putting his feelings on the table, not caring that Mingus is present, right now he's only looking at you, he's determined, you can see his pupils slightly dilated, serious, ready for whatever it takes, but he needs you by his side, he wants to have you with him, because it's clear that this goes beyond the club, it goes beyond the future he's pursuing for Mingus and apparently it also involves you, him. All three of you. You look at him trying to say something, but you're still totally paralyzed. Norman smiles a little and his hand rests on your cheek, you feel him sweep a tear from your cheek with his thumb, when did you start to cry?
"I love you..." You whisper with a trickle of voice.
You see Norman smile and rest his other hand on your other cheek leaning towards you, leaving a small kiss on your lips. Mingus claps and raises his arms in victory mode and you can't help but laugh. It's so surreal that you don't know if you're really awake or still sleeping. But it feels so good that if it's a dream, you don't want to wake up.
Things will be complicated in the club from now on, you know it, you are aware that there are going to be many changes, that Jesus is going to take his position as president, whether your father likes it or not, but he will not be alone, his people will help him, they will support him, Jax's gang will also be part of the movement, they will attack together against the old school, they don't care what it costs, but they will change their future, for a better one. And you are going to be by his side, because you want that future, you want to be part of the future of the new 12 Apostles, of Norman, of Mingus.
The End
