Can we have another serious moment for a second? Please understand where I am coming from when I say this. I love that you all love For the Love of Dixon, I really do. I am also sad to see it go as I love writing it just as much as you guys love reading it. But all the hate messages about me ending it are getting ridiculous. I understand that you guys love it as do I. This was my first Daryl fanfic that I have ever written let alone the first fanfic I have ever written on wattpad. It will always have a special in my heart. All the reads, comments, and votes, I never expected the story to be that big and land at number one but you guys have to understand where I'm coming from as a writer. I know what's best for my story. Let me give you an example. A normal sized novel is 50,000 words. LOTE is 35 chapters in and already has 82,000 words. FTLOD has 30 more chapters so I can only imagine how many words that is. I've gotten several messages saying things like: "You need to make it more than 60 chapters." "You need to write a sequel." "You need to continue this because season 4 is coming out" (My story doesn't even follow the TWD story line!) I was supposed to end this story back in chapter 47 but I didn't because I got another idea and decided to continue it out just a little bit more. I love that you guys love this story and are sad to see it go but I'm getting sick of waking up every day to at least three messages telling me what I "need" to do. I refuse to drag this story out anymore. I am quite happy with the way this story has gone and how it will end. I don't want to drag it out anymore because it will just start becoming bad. I don't want to be that person that said "My story was really good but then this happened." I am the writer and I know what's best for my story and that is ending my story at 60 chapters. This isn't my last story on here, in fact I have two going right now, one of which is another Daryl Dixon fanfic. It may not be set during the apocalypse but a lot of people seem to be enjoying it! To everyone that has supported me through all of this I thank you and I hope you all will continue to follow me through all my writing on here and possible other sites. I'll leave it at this: "Every story has an ending, but every ending has a new beginning."

I love every single one of you and I truly hope that you do follow me through all my writings!

Now onto LOTE! Here's the next chapter, Nords! Xx

Things seemed to be going smoothly. It had been about two weeks since I moved in to Norman's. We had set up quite a routine. I will admit that it was better than living by myself but I was still practically by myself now. With Mingus back in school after Christmas break and Norman doing more conventions I sat in the apartment most of the time.

I still worked at Jordan's bar, but seeing as it didn't open to the evening it was sometimes hard to balance with Mingus. I never worked the weekends which helped a little but through the week sucked because I barely got to see Norman in general but when he was coming home I was leaving for the bar and Norman would spend time with Mingus.

I sighed as I grabbed my laptop. I was skyping with Stacey here soon. I hadn't told her that I had officially moved in with Norman. Every time she heard Mingus or Norman in the background she just assumed that I was hanging out with them. I clicked the accept button as the Skype request popped up.

"Stacey!" I said once I saw her face. It had been quite a while since I've gotten to speak to her without anybody else around. "What's got you all smiley?" she asked. I could see my face in the in the little frame at the top and I quickly wiped the smile off my face.

I didn't want to tell her just yet or I would never get her to calm down and I really wanted to catch up with her. "Nothing, just happy to be getting to talk to you with nobody around," I said. Stacey cocked an eyebrow at me as if she didn't believe me.

"What's been going on with you?" I asked her trying to get the conversation away from me. "I just started a new job. So that's pretty cool. Other than that I'm just dealing with the same shit," I chuckled a little. "Sounds like a typical Stacey," I said.

Stacey stuck her tongue out at me. "What's been going on with you?" she asked me. I sighed a little and pulled my feet up under me. "Well," I said while stretching out the word. I could tell that Stacey was hanging on to my every word. "What? Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" Stacey exclaimed.

I took a sip of the coke I had before answering. "It's official," I said. I watched as Stacey's eyes became wide and her eyebrows arched. "What?!" she exclaimed. I really wanted to know what was going through her mind right now. 'It's official,' could've meant anything.

"What does that mean?!" she asked. I chuckled as I watched her squirm with excitement. "I moved in with Norman a couple weeks ago," I said. First came the scream, then the computer was tipped sideways. I chuckled again as I waited for her to settle.

Finally she sat back down on her bed but she started bouncing a little making the camera move. "Stacey! Calm yourself!" I said. She took a deep breath and finally calmed herself. "I can't help it! I can't believe it finally happened!" She exclaimed. I sighed a little.

"How did he ask you?" she asked. I played with my charm bracelet, spinning it around my wrist. "Well I gave him his present for his birthday," I started while looking up at the frames now hanging on the wall. I could feel the smile forming on my face.

"Anyway, so after that he told me that he wanted to give me my birthday present earlier. He made me close my eyes and then he handed me his key. At first I thought it was mine and he was giving it back. It freaked me out at first, but then he asked me to move in. He was all nervous about it. He kept telling me if I only wanted too. It's like he didn't want me to feel pressured to give him the right answer," I said.

Stacey's smile became wider and wider the more I spoke. She let out a squeal and clapped her hands excitedly. "Oh my God that is just so cute!" she said. I chuckled and finished off the rest of my coke. "Yeah," I said sighing happily. I looked up at the clock mentally smacking myself.

"Shit, Stacey, I gotta go. I have to be to work in a little over an hour!" I said. She gave a slightly disappointed look but nodded slightly. "Bye!" she said. I quickly set the laptop to the side and headed towards the bathroom to take a very quick shower.

Mingus was at his mom's and wasn't coming back for a couple days. Norman was out of town but he was heading back. He wasn't due until later tonight. I turned on the water and quickly stripped of my clothing. I jumped in the shower and sighed when the hot water hit my back.

Even though I told Stacey that I had to hurry it was hard with the warm water. It made me really sleepy. I heard the front door open and shut and my heart leaped into my throat. Mingus wasn't supposed to be home. I reached out of the curtain and shut the bathroom door to hide myself.

I continued to shower thinking that he would make himself comfortable. Now I would have to call Jordan and tell him that I couldn't come into work. I couldn't leave Mingus here by himself. I sighed as I rinsed the last of the conditioner out of my hair.

Now that Mingus was here I didn't have to hurry. I could actually enjoy the shower. The bathroom door squeaked open and I jumped. I heard a little thud and I could see Eye in the Dark's black figure up on the counter. "Crazy cat," I said while relaxing again.

I jumped when I felt arms around my waist and turned around. "Jesus! What are you doing here?" I asked Norman. His eyes were bright blue and sparkling. I looked down to see his he was still in his clothes except his brown mismatched laced boots were missing.

"Are you nuts?" I asked not even giving him a chance to answer my first question. I grabbed the bottom of his sopping wet shirt and pulled it over his head. He smirked at me as I went for his pants. "If you wanted me naked you could've just said," he chuckled.

I smacked his now naked chest as his pants dropped to the floor. "You're the idiot who decided to get in the shower fully clothed! I was getting ready for work and I thought you were Mingus! I wasn't expecting you until later," I said while wrapping my arms around his neck.

The water was hitting me on the back of my head but I didn't care. I pulled Norman into the water with me and brought his lips to mine. I instantly moaned as he didn't hesitant to snake his tongue into my mouth. I sighed as his arms encircled my waist.

Norman pressed me against the wall and I shivered as the cool tile hit my back. "Don't go to work," Norman mumbled between kisses. "I have too," I mumbled back. Norman groaned and pressed himself closer to me. "Norman," I moaned knowing I had to go.

Norman's lips worked their way down my jawline to my neck. His lips latched onto my neck and I heard the moan escape my lips. My fingers latched onto the hair at the nape of his neck. "Norman," I moaned again this time more out of pleasure.

"Please don't go," Norman mumbled against my skin. I sighed. "If I don't go will you stop kissing me?" I asked. I heard Norman chuckle. "Mmm, no," he said while kissing down my shoulder. I groaned and shut my eyes letting my head hit the wall with a soft thud.

"You're so not fair," I moaned. Norman chuckled against my skin again. "Come on I haven't had you alone since Mingus went back to school," he said while kissing his way back up my shoulder. I sighed and tugged on his hair lightly pulling his face towards mine.

"This is true," I said before bringing my lips to his. Norman's hands ran down my sides and stopped lowly on my hips. "Don't tease me," I mumbled against his lips as he brought his hands around to the back of my thighs. Norman pulled me into him before lifting me up.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs went around his waist. We both groaned at the same time as he entered me. I will admit it truly had been awhile since we were intimate. We were both constantly busy and just crossing paths most of the time.

"Oh God," I breathed. "I'm Norman but close enough," Norman mumbled against my lips. I chuckled a little and connected his lips with mine again. He thought he was being cute. Both of our moans filled the air. The water from the shower head was starting to cool.

Norman and I didn't seem to care as we both picked up the pace. "Baby," Norman groaned as we both rode out our highs. Norman kissed my lips lightly. "Damn," he whispered once he pulled back. He slowly let me down and my feet hit the floor. I had to lean against the wall because my legs felt like jello. "Come on, we don't need to get sick," Norman said while shutting off the water and grabbing a couple towels.
