7: Cinderella Pt. 2

Rick's P.O.V

"I love this song!" Michonne squealed as another song began to play on the speakers beside the swing we were sitting in.

I introduced her into almost everyone here, so we decided to come outside and swing on the swing together to pass time.

"She's the tear in my heart, I'm alive,
She's the tear in my heart, I'm on fire,
She's the tear in my heart, take me higher -----than I've ever been!"

Her eyes were closed, and she sat with her back against the swing, gently swaying her body with the cool breeze that came our way.
But as the song went on, and I actually payed attention to whatever the singer was nearly screaming, I realized Michonne  was the tear in my heart.
Being 'cause, It hurts the more and more I fall for her.
I'm still not over my wife, and Michonne sweeps in, stealing my heart, making the tear that's already there even bigger.

"You-- You like this kind of music?" I solicited

"Mhm." She nodded "I know it's not your cup of tea, you're a  country music type of guy."

I jerked back and placed my hand over my mouth like she had just offended me, which made her burst out in giggles.

"What? Just cause I'm a white southern sheriff makes me like country music, huh? Is that what you think?" I said, pretending to get angry.

"I don't know.." She murmured

"Well, you're right." I smirked

She playfully hit my arm and continued to move her body to the music and God, I couldn't keep my eyes off of her.

"ATTENTION. IF EVERYONE WOULD PLEASE COME INSIDE FOR MY GRADUATION SPEECH!" Beth spoke into the microphone which echoed across all the speakers, scaring the hell out of me since I was so close to one.

Everyone began to shuffle into the house at Beth's request and Michonne and  I were the last to leave. I helped her off the swing and we made our way into the house, squishing into people to get a good look at Beth at her podium.

"Hi everyone, thank you for coming!" She started, staring around at all the interested faces and eyes locked on her.

"Man, 8 years ago I would've never imagined myself graduating Med School, about to become a doctor.. But here I am!" She laughed and everyone let out a soft chuckle.

"I know many people don't throw Med School graduation parties that are formal from 9 pm to 12:30 in the morning.. But you know how I am, different and what not."

She's not lying. Beth is not like any girl you've ever seen before, she's quirky and idiosyncratic and caring.. She's a ray of sunshine.

"But I just wanted to thank you all, for never giving up on me! I wanna thank my papa, for being a great role model and telling me that I can do whatever I put my mind to, and I wanna thank my momma cause she raised a damn smart girl!"

A few claps and "wooooh's" went around the room and the only thing I could do was smile.

"I wanna thank my sister Maggie for being my rock, my diary, and last but not least, I wanna thank my boyfriend, Noah. He's been by my side since 3rd grade and no one has encouraged and motivated me more than that man, I'm so grateful for these people. I'm so grateful for you all, I'm only 26 and I have everything I want..And I hope you all still continue to support me through my Residency Program! Thank you!" She smiled

We all burst out into kudos and whistles and laughs and screams.. Everyone loves this girl.

She took a bow and suddenly Noah walked up and took the microphone.

"Thank you everyone for coming out tonight to see Dr. Beth Greene, your presence is much appreciated. Uh, party ends in about an hour and --- the refreshments and snacks have been refilled! Now y'all know how we do it in the Greene's house, late night dancing in the barn!" he exclaimed

Everyone still continued to clap whilst filing out the house to go over to the barn. I grabbed onto Michonne and pulled her out as she looked around in confusion.

"What's going on?" she smiled

"At every party  they have, It's a tradition to have a dance party in the barn." I explained

"Ohh." she murmured

"Rick, I lost the kids." she laughed

"Ah, it's fine. They're not too fa---"
When we stepped into the barn, people were already crowded in a circle and they all chanted,

"GO ANDRE, GO ANDRE, GO ANDRE!"

Michonne's eyes widened and she pushed through people to get to the center, to find Andre and Carl miraculously "break dancing".
The spot light was on Andre, Carl was squat down, moving his hands to the beat, basically boasting Andre up. But Andre-- he danced like no one was watching. He was so cute and carefree and even though he wasn't really break dancing, he was having fun.

It was some new school song, I don't know the singer or the song. It was bascially a woman saying "wer wer wer wer wer sjdsksk wer wer wer wer wer." OVER AND OVER. Some type of music Beth is into..

I glanced at Michonne and she had already taken out her phone and begun snapping pictures. She's in love with taking pictures but I don't blame her, If I had a face that looked as good as hers I would never stop taking "selfies".

Soon the song cut off and the crowd erupted in cheers, while Andre caught his breath and smiled back at everyone.

"Alright we taking it back to old school!" Glenn said, pressing a button on the stereo.

There was a moment of silence as everyone waited for the song to play and once it did, WE ALL CROWDED THE BARN. Dancing to Man In The Mirror by Michael Jackson.

An all time favorite, a song everyone knows.

As I moved my body to the song and did a little step, Michonne giggled uncontrollably at how bad of a dancer I was.

"You're adorable." she shouted over the loud music and conversations.

"I can't dance, how am I adorable?" I shrugged

"You're not even on beat. It's cute."

I wanted to say, "No you." but I was afraid she wouldn't hear me over the music and I'd have to scream to her that she's cute.

When the chorus began to play, Michonne pulled her dreads from her hair tie and moved her fingers through them. She was so beautiful and graceful in everything she did.

God Bless.

After Man In The Mirror played, Michonne and I were about to go sit but -- Footloose began to play.

"I wanna keep dancing!" she smiled

She was having such a good time.

"You want a drink?" I asked, trying to find an excuse to go sit.

"Hey Michonne wanna dance?" Ron asked, running up and grabbing her hand.

"I'm good!" she called back as Ron pulled her away.

Ah, perfect timing.

"Hey!" Enid said, walking up to me.

"Hey kiddo." I smiled

"What's my ex doing dancing with your girlfriend?" She asked, raising her eyebrows.

"Ex?" I exclaimed

She and Ron broke up?? No way!

"He dumped me when we first got here." she explained

"You okay?"

"Yeah. The reason was pretty legit and I just want him to be happy." she smiled

Wow she was taking this great.

Before I could ask the reason, she had already skipped off to talk to someone else.. Okay then.
____________________________________

"Yes! And then he puked all over himself." she laughed

"That sounds terrible." I chuckled as Michonne continued to tell me about her highschool prom disaster.

"It was.. It was." she said, catching her breath.

It's been about 45 minutes since we started dancing, and we're just now taking a break... Hell, it's almost time to go home.
I'm tired.

"So what'd you do then?" I asked

"I casually danced away."

I stared at her and then bursted out laughing because I simply couldn't hold it in any longer. She was almost crying from laughter but she was still so cute.

Suddenly, Glenn walked up with his camera in his hands and a smile ear to ear across his face.

"Hey guys."

"Hey Glenn," Michonne smiled

"Could I get a video of you two saying congratulations Beth?" he asked eagerly

"Oh, sure." I agreed

"Great!" he pulled out his camera and aimed it at Michonne and I.

"Say 'Congratulations, Beth' on the count of 3, okay?"

"Okay. "

"One...two.. Three!"

"Congratulations Beth!" Michonne and I exclaimed.

Glenn smiled and pulled the camera down, "thanks guys." he said before walking back off.

"Let's dance some more." She said

"Ughhhh," I sighed

"Come on Ole Man!" she pulled me up and I didn't resist.. What could a few more minutes of dancing hurt?... Actually alot. My back hurts.

She met up with Sasha and Maggie and Beth in the middle and began dancing along with them. I was the only guy dancing in the middle, so I casually danced my ass to the back once she wasn't paying any attention to me anymore.

"Dad." Carl exclaimed, walking up to me.  "Tonight has been amazing for me.. What about you? How are things between you and Michonne?"

Wow he's in a really good mood. I haven't seen him this happy since... Never.

"We're just friends." I murmured.

"Oh don't give me that just friends crap. Y'all have been feeling each other this whole night, I see the way you look at her and the way she looks at you!"

The way she looks at me? Did she look at me the way I look at her?! Because if so, she is totally in to me.

"How did she look at me?"

"I don't know how to explain man. She was just so interested in what you do. Like, when you were harmlessly dancing with Jessie, she couldn't take her eyes off of you. Everybody was watching her but she was looking at you." he smiled

Dang, that speaks volumes.

Abruptly, the dance music stopped and a slow song began to play.

One we all know a bit too well.

"Last one of the night!" Glenn yelled from somewhere around the barn.

"Look," Carl hit me
"She's lookin' right now. Go ask her to dance dude."

I turned my head and sure enough,  everyone had paired up and her eyes dawned upon me.

I didn't pay attention to anything Carl said after that, my body just like magically walked over to Michonne. I didn't even move my legs, seems like they moved on their own.

"Would you like to dance?" I asked, holding out my hand.

"Of course." She smiled and grabbed onto my neck, pulling me closer to which I wrapped my arms around her waist and awkwardly moved to the beat.

"Ohh for I,
Can't help---
Falling in love with you."

"Your dancing got better in no time," she whispered with her head against my chest.

"Just trying to impress you." I chuckled

"Well you're doing a damn good job Officer."

"Does that mean I can take you out sometime, like to the trampoline park or the fair or anything you'd like to do?" I asked

She chuckled lightly and nodded her head quickly, "yes I'll go out with you sometime."

"Good," I sighed of relief "I was afraid you'd say no because you're like way too cool for me."

She pulled away and smiled widely, showing all her teeth as she stared me in the eyes.

"How come you're always smiling?" I asked, curiously.

She hasn't stopped smiling since we got here. Doesn't her cheeks hurt? Like, wow.

"I have all the reason to smile." she said, a bit more serious now. Her smiled began to fade and I SWEAR I caught her eyes glancing at my lips.

"Yeah, like what?"

"You." she mouthed.

And that was it.. I couldn't resist anymore.

"You don't know the sickening desire I have to kiss you." I murmured

"Me too."she smiled

Without hesitation, I bent down and pressed my lips against hers. She didn't pull away, nope, and I felt like I could keep my lips against hers for hours because it felt so right.

Suddenly, the clock struck 12 and Michonne pulled away at the sound of the bell.

When I opened my eyes and looked around, trying to control my heart beat, I realized everyone was staring and it only began to beat even faster.

The grandfather clock in the far corner continued to ring and the only thing I could do was stare in embarrassment.

Michonne then pulled her dress up and ran out the barn. I tried to run after her but damn, that girl is fast, even in heels. Right when I stopped running, she nearly fell but regained her balance. She lost her heel but she kept running.

Maybe the kiss was terrible or maybe that really wasn't  what she wanted... I messed up damn it.
I turned around in shame and began to walk back into the barn when Abraham met me halfway.

"Go get your Cinderella." he laughed.
