Illusion and Reality

After 4 seconds, the other side answers.

-Hi, are you okay? - (Daniel)

"That's what I should ask you! I thought you wouldn't call again!"

-Yes… I was moving all day, but I will summarize it for you, I am alive and now in a camp with about 20 or 30 people- (Daniel)

-I'm glad to hear that, if you are alone you have less chance of surviving, unless you are an expert surviving or you have a bunker all to yourself hehe- (Alicia)

-I'm also glad to hear your voice again- (Daniel)

A man's voice is heard talking to Alicia.

-Alicia, who is that person? - (Daniel)

-Oh, he's my boyfriend, I met him while we survived together- (Alicia)

Daniel was silent… he should have expected it, Alicia didn't love him anymore. Going to find her was just an impulse of the moment. She already found someone else to be by her side. He would only be excluded, even if he takes her to the side, he will not be greeted by her.

-I ... I want to apologize for what I did to you before, I think everything that happened to me has opened my eyes- (Daniel)

-It is true, you have changed, before you would be cold with me, but I forgive you, you were going through a difficult time, and if you think that I do not love you, it is not true, I continue to do so, but I have overcome you and I hope you do too, no we are for each other- (Alicia)

-You're right, I hope that boy makes you happy, like I couldn't do it- (Daniel)

-Thank you for your concern, he made me happy, I hope you find someone who loves you and takes care of her- (Alicia)

A moment of silence.

-It may sound inopportune, but as of tomorrow we will not have more electricity, I will not be able to call you or communicate with you for an indefinite time. I'm sorry- (Alicia)

-Why do you apologize?. It is not in your power, in addition, it is better to conserve electricity in these difficult times. I wish you the best, Bye- (Daniel)

-I wish the best for you too, Bye- (Alicia)

The call is cut off, maybe forever, just like Daniel feels like he lost something inside him ...

A small knock is heard, Daniel sees Andrea standing with some blankets.

-How much did you hear? - (Daniel)

-Just the end- (Andrea)

Daniel looks at her, he doesn't believe him.

-Okay, from the beginning, that girl is ruthless to cut you even now- (Andrea)

-She did the right thing, she is not to blame, I'm the one who ruined it- (Daniel)

-Okay, don't blame yourself, I'm over, there are many women in the world-

Andrea caresses Daniel's back, comforting him.

Daniel looks at her.

-B-but I'm not hinting at you or anything. Don't think bad! -

Andrea is embarrassed and turns her eyes away when Daniel looks at her, remembers his words, it sounds as if she wants him to look at her, but that is not true, but what would happen if he declares himself ?, no, our ages are very different, Daniel will not be interested in an old woman, besides that would be wrong, but what if he forces me against my will due to his wishes for me?

Andrea couldn't stop thinking about that, with an anticipation inside that she herself ignored.

-Do you want to call someone? -

Daniel has a small smile but he didn't say anything else to make fun of Andrea, if he does it too much it will be annoying and not funny.

-I only have Amy and that's all I need-

Andrea takes a look at Daniel, seeing that he doesn't bother her anymore, she is glad of her a little bit of her.

Amy is the only living relative of hers right now, or maybe others are alive but she either doesn't know them or doesn't have her phone numbers.

Since her father died, Andrea only thinks about taking care of Amy and getting along with her, something she could not do before, perhaps escaping from Amy for fear of failing and hurting her, but only now did she realize it, at this end of the world , what a fool she was and what she must do to fix things, spend more time with Amy.

She may not fix everything at once, but she will slowly fill Amy's heart with the years she lost by neglecting her and not being a good sister.

"Hey… aren't you interested in Amy, my little sister, are you? I'm warning you !! If you dare to hurt her, I'll even kill you with my life at stake!"

Andrea leaves the blankets inside the truck and, with her right index finger, presses against Daniel's chest, speaking fiercely.

Her little sister is the only thing in her family that remains and the most precious thing for her, she will not let anyone hurt her even if she is someone important to her.

That is the level of importance that Amy has in the heart of her pressed by the darkness that she has seen in the world these last two months.

Amy is the purest girl for Andrea, something she wants to protect from the dirt in this world.

-Quiet, I'm not going to hurt Amy, I promise. Come and sit with me, there are times when you have to relax too-

Daniel raises his hands in surrender, showing Andrea that he has no bad intentions. He grabs her hand gently, he makes her sit on the edge of the truck then sits behind her to start giving her gentle massages.

Although Daniel was not an expert, he knew how to massage by helping his grandmother with back and shoulder pain.

Andrea was losing her momentum with the massage and slowly relaxed. She did not feel malice or other bad intentions from Daniel towards her or her sister like other men, but still, she wanted to make it clear to him that Amy mattered more to him than her own life and she will not hesitate to take risks to protect her. .

-I understand, Amy is important to you, and from what I saw she loves you very much, so don't worry, I'll help you protect her even if you don't ask me to.

How long have you not relaxed? Your shoulders are very tense-

Daniel presses his fingers on Andrea's shoulders, exerting pressure and relaxing us, she feels good.

-She I don't know ... a long time ago ... I think-

Andrea closes her eyes and enjoys it, actually, she never got a massage, well, Amy did it when they were little but now they distanced themselves from her and she doesn't do it anymore.

Andrea was saddened again when she remembered that.

-Come on, let's order the blankets so you can sleep and then I'll give you a better massage. Because if I do it before you will leave without helping me-

Daniel saw her sad face and changed her plans a bit so that she would not think much about what made her sad, they were still not close enough to ask her what worries her.

-Hey! I would not do that, I came here with the intention of helping you, I will not leave after throwing the covers-

Andrea gives him a blank-eyed look, she would also help him sort the blankets, she is a girl who does something she does it to the end.

Andrea takes off her shoes and leaves them next to the door, inside the truck.

Daniel does the same and puts the flashlight on the ground, pointing it at the wall of the truck so he can look good.

They both take the blankets and stretch them, leaving her in the middle of the truck, they place them one on top of the other. They could even sleep 2 people there.

-Hey Daniel, better not offer to others to call with your phone or everyone will want to use it and you will not be able to use it when there is an emergency or if you want to talk to the person on the other side, because the battery with one hundred percent lasts eight hours of continuous use and one hundred and sixty hours in standby mode which is equal to six days. The charger, if you have it, is just a satellite phone battery charger that works with electricity and now there is no that, for that reason you should keep it to yourself, you never know what will happen or how long they will not talk again, do not regret it because then it will be too late to do something-

Andrea speaks without looking Daniel in the eye, she fixes the edges of the makeshift bed.

She had many regrets before the end of the world, but now she is relatively happy to be able to be with her sister as she always wanted. Therefore, she will speak with her heart and say what she really thinks instead of hiding it for fear of rejection as she did before.

Daniel reflects on what Andrea said while fixing his makeshift bed made of blankets and realizes why he would have to be nice to these people, they should serve him.

Daniel shakes his head to disperse those thoughts and thinks about doing things without regrets, with Alicia he already did, I wish him happiness when he knows that he cannot give it to her, but Rick, he was always by his side and tried to help him but never left him even hug him.

There are so many things Daniel might regret if he doesn't do them now, but first ...

-Thanks Andrea, I wanted to cheer you up a bit but you ended up making me realize that I've been doing a lot of wrong things-

He looks up and sincerely thanks Andrea.

-As my father said, the first step to improve is to realize your mistakes, and you have. I think so do I, thanks to you-

Andrea also looks up and smiles at Daniel.

-... you look beautiful when you smile Andrea, you should do it more-

Daniel stared at her for a few seconds and said those words.

-S-stop making fun of me, I'm leaving now! -

Andrea, a bit shy about her compliments, since she almost never called him cute apart from her parents.

She is older than Daniel but he makes fun of her and makes her feel like a girl, making her wonder who is the oldest here.

Andrea gets up and grabs her slippers to leave.

-Waiting!. Don't go yet Andrea, I won't bother you anymore. I wanted to thank you for your kindness and continue with the massage from before, do you want? -

Daniel holds her by the wrist and talks closely to her, looking into Andrea's green eyes, bright on this full moon night.

Andrea's breathing becomes a little heavier and she looks away from Daniel, she calms down a bit, but her heartbeat doesn't hear her and it beats fast, maybe even Daniel can hear her fast heartbeat, which does Andrea blushed up to her ears.

-Okay, I'll stay, but only because your massages are good !, and you'd better not disappoint me or I'll tell others how bad you are-

Trying to get him to let go of her so she doesn't hear her heartbeat, Andrea agrees to stay a bit longer of her, making her wonder if Daniel really stopped bothering her, which made her feel disappointed for a strange reason. .

-I'm glad, please lie face down here-

Daniel lets go of her and tells her to lie down in the middle of her blankets, so that she is more comfortable.

-I don't have to take off my clothes, right? -

Andrea looks at him uncertainly and covers her breasts with her arms, although she has clothes, she does not move from the place, but she does leave the slippers where they were before. She won't go away.

No wonder Andrea thinks that, her back massages are more effective and feel better if there are no clothes on her back to obstruct her hands. But Daniel doesn't ask Andrea to take off her clothes, he wants her to feel comfortable, and give her a massage again later.

-Don't worry, you can keep your clothes on-

Daniel smiles at her, he clearly heard Andrea's heartbeat earlier and didn't miss this opportunity. Better to move now that she is relaxed next to her.

Andrea looks him in the eye and nods, lying on her stomach with her head resting between her crossed arms.

-Also, I still haven't forgiven you for what you did in the mall, but if you make me feel good I'll forgive you-

Andrea still has not forgotten how Daniel attracted the Walkers to the building, but without him they could not escape, maybe the same would happen if he was not there and they would die, also Daniel is not a bad boy at heart and he tried to help them the best he could . That is why she is not angry and she is only bothering him, I have forgiven him for a long time, also he was not at fault, he was just surviving like her.

-Okay, I'll make you feel much better than you imagine-

Daniel speaks in a double sense and waves his hands provocatively.

-You ... pervert! If you dare you will understand why you should not make me angry-

Andrea, with a slight blush, shoots Daniel a fierce look.

-Just kidding, of course I'll be respectful-

Daniel smiles at her as she chuckles, prompting Andrea to ask if it was a good idea to let her massage her back.

Daniel complied with what he said and did not massage her in a professional way, with a serious face and touching her body, causing Andrea to let out small moans of pleasure that she had to contain so as not to be ashamed, she felt very good .

Daniel traced his hands on her shoulders and slowly lowered them down the middle of her back to the tip of her spine, where you could see Andrea's fat butt standing proudly like two hills as she was lying down.

A few minutes passed that way while Andrea tried to contain her little moans, but the only thing that did that, is that hers, her shame accumulated and made her more sensitive than she is, feeling Daniel's hands as if she had no clothes.

-Ready, now on the other side-

Daniel finishes massaging her and asks her to turn around to continue.

-It's fine like this, thanks-

Andrea was too embarrassed to look at his face and she sat up slowly, because she was weak, the massage made her relax.

She was sitting looking away, she couldn't see Daniel in her eyes.

-You look very pretty when you're embarrassed Andrea-

Daniel looks at Andrea, flushed, not looking him in the eye and nervous, she looks like a girl in her teens who never experienced a relationship.

"What ?! You said not to make fun of me anymore, you broke your promise! Liar!"

Andrea was more ashamed of her because Daniel called her cute again and started punching him on the chest quickly.

Andrea's blows were very weak, she did not want to hurt Daniel, only to release her discontent and shame.

-Andrea… -

Daniel spoke in a deep, magnetic voice as he gently wrapped her arms around Andrea's small waist and pulled her closer to him, causing both of her breasts to touch.

Andrea was shocked by her sudden action, her heart beating very fast from her feeling that she might come out of her chest, and instinctively tried to break free from her, but seeing her bright light brown eyes as she I could see, she stopped moving and looked at him in a daze.

Daniel, needless to say more, lowers his head slowly as he gazes into Andrea's wet, light green eyes, feeling her pounding heartbeat, her hot, fruity-smelling breath, and her hot body heat in his throat. her hands.

Daniel brushes Andrea's lips with his and stops there, maintaining lip-to-lip contact. Andrea is very nervous, and she closes her eyes, waiting, but what she was looking for did not arrive, so she shakes her head a little and kisses Daniel completely.

Daniel smiles and also closes her eyes, stops hugging her with her left arm and gently touches Andrea's hot cheek to kiss her better. Her lips meet warmly feeling the soft flesh and an electric current flowing from her lips to her entire body. But Daniel separates them after a few seconds.

-I like you Andrea-

Andrea opened her eyes at Daniel's shocking words, he took the opportunity that she was surprised and without waiting for an answer from her he kissed her again, sliding her tongue inside Andrea's hot little mouth.

Andrea felt something slick and hot inside her mouth and tried to push it out, but she only made her tongues entwine, spin together, rubbing each other and sharing saliva with Daniel's mouth.

Daniel stops kissing her because he notices that Andrea is out of breath.

-I ... I don't know what to say-

Andrea was stunned and saliva flowing at the corner of her lips, making her look cute and seductive at the same time.

-You hate me?-

Daniel rubs Andrea's cheek with his left hand.

-No, although when I met you a little yes-

Andrea speaks honestly, although at first she did not like her, she quickly began to get along with him and she felt attracted to this young man.

-If you hate me and you don't like me, then reject me or hit me now, because I want to do more than just kiss you now-

Daniel says those words with a dominant voice, hugs Andrea's body tighter and kisses her again, this time passionately.

Andrea feels an electric current go through her spine and she wanted to moan, but Daniel covered her mouth so she let out a strangled sound.

She can't resist Daniel's hands that run over her entire body, she shudders from the skin-to-skin contact, but she loves him too.

Daniel stops touching her for a moment and turns around, Andrea, excited and excited, does not understand what is happening.

-This is your last chance-

Daniel lowers the back door of the truck a little, if he lowers it further, they will both be locked inside.

-But you can't say any of this to Amy-

Andrea looks at Daniel with wet and shy eyes, but she unties her hair, which flows down the sides of her head like golden waves, moving gently and removes her blouse, tossing it to the side, leaving only her black lace bra covering her big ones. breasts, the white skin was glowing as if it wanted to be touched.

-It's okay-

The back door of the truck closes and the only light inside the truck is the flashlight. Daniel has already received his answer, he will not let Andrea wait any longer.
