JUDAS Masterlist
“DON’T YOU MEAN THAT SHIT DINER?”
You let out a playful scoff, acting offended. “Well excuse you Daryl, The Golden Bite is an amazing diner!” You spoke to him over the phone.
That’s when your coworker, Annie came walking with a plate in hand that had a half eaten burger. “Still tastes like cardboard.” She sang as she headed back to the kitchen.
“Annie-”
“Still not gettin’ it?”
You rolled your eyes. “Gonna come and say it to my face?” You flinched at the loud voices coming from the kitchen, Annie was once again arguing with the cooks.
You don’t blame her, the cooks the manager hired are shit and so is the quality of the food. It’s a shock that this place hadn’t been shut down yet.
You heard Daryl laugh and the infamous sound of his motorcycle. “I still wanna live another day and get another taste, still thinkin’ of ya.”
Your face immediately became hot, you thought you would break your phone with how tight you were clutching it.
“Daryl!” You harshly whispered.
“I’m an honest man and I’m honest when I say, I wanna bend you over my bike again.”
“I’m at work!”
“That ain’t gonna stop me.”
Annie poked her head around the corner. “Oh yeah, Meredith said that the sheriff wants you. Ain’t taking anybody else.” She disappeared before you could retort.
“That’s my cue.”
“I’ll talk to you later, Judas.” You set your phone in your pocket and looked over your shoulder for a quick glance, right by the window.
Shane sat at the table, looking over the menu as if he hadn’t been here for the hundredth time. You snapped your head back at the coffee machine the second his eyes drifted away from the menu.
You were still reeling from the conversation you had with him before, the two of you hadn’t talked, texted, or called each other. He didn’t stop by whenever he was in the neighborhood, did he feel guilty?
You walked to his table with a pen and notepad in hand. “Hey, Shane, what can I get you?”
“Just the special and a large coffee, nothin’ in it.”
“I’ll get that-”
“Can you give me a minute?” Shane interrupted you.
You looked up from your notepad and lifted an eyebrow. “Somethin’ wrong?”
“Jus’ sit, I won’t be long.”
You sighed. “If I get busted, it’s gonna be on your head, Walsh. I need this job.”
Shane chuckled. “You could always become a stay at home wife.”
You scoffed, clicking your pen. “Yeah? Who the hell’s gonna deal with my bullshit?”
“Me as your husband.”
Your heart sank into your stomach. “What?” You needed to bite this in the bud, like Amy said. “Look Shane, I don’t think-”
“You say that but what ‘bout later? Down the line? What happens when the jackass becomes borin’? Or worse? Hurts you?”
You could only shake your head in disbelief, Daryl was many things. He’s wild, secretive, and could be distant at times but he would never hurt you.
“Seriously? Do you really think that low of Daryl?! You don’t even know him.”
“Do you even know him?”
“That’s-”
“Do you know where the guy lives or any idea what he does for a livin’?” Shane then grabbed your wrist to pull you closer, his hot breath hitting your face. “I know you, (Y/n). I know that you like to chase after people who ain’t good for you and you know it! He’s one of them. And I know you’re better and safer with me.”
“I don’t-!”
“Pardon me!” Annie made you both jump back, Shane releasing his tightening grip. “Are you lovebirds done arguing?”
“Annie-!”
“Because we would like you to keep the volume down or take it outside.” Annie cut you off before you could even explain. “Or you can get back to work and not lose this job.”
“I’m sorry.” You mumbled, scurrying off to the kitchen.
Annie’s eyes turned to Shane who she glared at. “You ain’t good for her. Not even close.” She turned on her heel and followed you.
She found you in the break room, rubbing your arms and taking deep breaths. She could see it in your eyes, the slight anger.
“Need me to ask Miguel to toss that guy out?” Annie placed a hand on your shoulder.
“No, no.” You waved her off, your hands now fidgeting with your fingers. “I don’t know what that was.”
“That was a glimpse of an asshole.” Annie explained. “And a jealous one from what I heard, no ‘mout of therapy can fix that man.”
“You could never know-”
“I know ‘em (Y/n).”
“He’s probably cooled off by now.” You took one final deep breath. “I’m jus’ gonna hear what else he gotta say then I’m done, I’m out of here.”
“Workin’ or him?”
“Most likely both.”
Meredith peered into the break room. “Think she’s gonna reject him?”
Annie shook her head, her hands on her hips as she took a couple steps out the break room, seeing you sit back down with Shane. “The girl loves thrill and danger. Safety is never in her handbook.”
“Worried for ‘er?”
“I’m scared shitless.”
“Look, (Y/n) I know I ain’t your type of guy. But it could all change.” Shane explained.
“I ain’t got time for this, I ain’t got time for whatever you’re dreamin’ of. It’s all it is, a dream.”
“You don’t understand.”
“I do.” You retracted your hand when he went for it, speaking as sternly as you could without drawing the attention of customers. “And if you understand, you would stop askin’ ‘bout this guy.”
“I’ll understand when I get the chance to show you that a life with me is a safer choice than whatever you have with that guy.”
You groaned, was he really going to do this to himself? “You would rather be in a loveless marriage?”
“It ain’t gonna be loveless. What I’m askin’ you to do is to go out with me.”
“HE SAID WHAT?!” Andrea snatched the pillow that hid your frustrated expression, she threw it behind her and asked the same question again, even louder if possible.
“You heard me.” You mumbled.
You didn’t know how to feel other than uncomfortable. The lump in your throat didn’t want to leave, making you feel bothered.
“What did you say?!”
“Didn’t say anythin’, told me to think ‘bout it.”
“Dammit (Y/n)!”
“I know!” You stopped her before she could scold you. “I know I should’ve said no!”
“But you gotta admit, he’s gotta be loaded with cash.”
“...He kinda is.”
“S-Seriously?”
You nodded, you grabbed another pillow to squeeze at, trying to sooth yourself. “There would be times where Shane would pay for my expenses, like rent and water.”
“Oh he’s serious ‘bout you.”
“That’s the sad part. Even if things didn’t work out with Daryl, I don’t want Shane to be a second option jus’ ‘cause I couldn’t have Daryl or it becomes borin’. I wanna be sure that if I choose Shane, it’s gotta be true.”
You jumped at the sound of the wine bottle being popped open, you stared at Andrea as she poured you a rather large glass of wine.
“Then go see Shane.”
“Y’know I can’t-”
“See Shane and see how you feel. If nothin’ changes or worse comes to worst, you feel repulsed, then tell ‘im. You can continue to see Daryl with Shane hanging over your head.”
Andrea pushed the glass into your hands. “And what if it doesn’t? What if I end up fallin’ for him?”
“Then you could lose a man you love or a man who’s only sticking ‘round when he needs you to blow or fuck.”
“Daryl doesn’t seem like the type.”
“Then that’s worse, choosing between two guys is a fuckin’ nightmare.”
‘Im on my way’
You read the text again from Shane, silently hoping all of this was just a dream and you never heard Shane asking you out.
You shut your phone and stared into the mirror, you sighed, taking your tenth pair of earrings off. You were annoyed with yourself, how hard was it to say no? Especially to Shane?
The knocking on your door made you annoyed even more, you weren’t in the mood for a guest but it dropped when you saw Carl with Rick… Carl with Rick.
You opened your door. “Hey Rick.” Then you turn to the boy. “Carl!”
Carl quickly wrapped his arms around you, nearly knocking you down. You could never stay mad at the boy.
Rick stepped in and closed your door. “I’m callin’ in a favor.”
“Shoot.” You said, managing to get his arms off to get him a little snack.
“Lori’s mom canceled on us and I know your workin’ tomorrow. I was hopin’ if you could look after Carl after your shift. Jus’ for a couple hours.”
“It’s no problem, you know I don’t mind takin’ care of your rascal.”
“Hey!” His shout made you stick out your tongue at him playfully.
“So… What’s gotcha all dolled up? Goin’ out with that guy?”
“What guy-? How did you know I was talkin’ to someone?” Rick fumbled over his words. “Grimes.”
“Shane, he was worried ‘bout you.”
“Jeez, y’know I can take care of myself.”
“Said that last time, remember what happened?”
You rolled your eyes. “It was once.”
“Three times, three guys who broke your heart.”
“It was nothin’. They were nothin’. They jus’ broke up with me, nothin’ crazy.”
“You say that now but what if it’s different?” Rick pulled you away from Carl and whispered. “What if he has a criminal record or is involved in some deep shit?”
“I can find that out.”
“And so can I but quicker, jus’ give me a name.”
“I ain’t gonna give you shit, Grimes.” You walked back to Carl. Your smile came back as you watched Carl become happy when you let him get some more.
Rick wanted to get it out of you, but if he couldn’t get it out of you, surely Carl could.
You could never say no to him.
