Bella was in the house with Lillian, they didn’t have anything in common so they were just staring at each other.
Bella caught Lillian looking at her now and then but she thought nothing of it.
She was most likely just being cautious and who could bla her?
The rain poured yet soone was knocking on their door.
Lillian wanted to respond but Bella went into protective mode and placed a finger over her lips.
Bella didn’t know who it was and it couldn’t have been the others or at least this was what she thought.
Bella didn’t ask who it was and simply snuck up to the door, they didn’t have any peephole so she couldn’t see who it was behind the door.
"She’s so paranoid..." Lillian thought to herself, rolling her eyes as she sunk into the couch.
"Hey! Open up, it’s Carl and the rain is beating my ass out here!" The person introduced himself and Bella’s body imdiately relaxed.
From what she has seen or heard, Carl was a good kid so there wasn’t anything to worry about and it was most likely that he ca to check in on Lilian.
"It’s your boyfriend," Bella whispered and Lillian raised a brow in confusion before realizing what she ant. Lillian first checked what she was wearing, she looked like a holess person that just found shelter.
Lillian had to run into the room before the door could swing open, Bella wondered what was up her ass because Lillian always had this I-don’t-care-attitude so seeing her respond in such a fashion was unusual.
"She’s finally acting like a lady..." Bella thought to herself.
Carl entered the house and looked at Bella, she was muscular and part of him was envious of her build but she was also attractive.
"Hi, is Lillian ho?" Carl got to the point, trying to look past Bella.
"How about asking to co in before going after the girl?" Bella asked with a raised brow.
Carl chuckled awkwardly because he was still in the rain but he had on a raincoat.
"Can I co in... please?" Carl asked.
He was a normal kid when it ca to it but Bella still couldn’t pass him off as harmless.
She had seen what the world turned people to and while Carl was the reason they were and she was grateful to him, she knew she had to be on her toes.
She did find his politeness adorable and she already knew why he was here.
"Sure thing sport..." Bella said and the boy walked past her and into the house.
"I see Mother gave you one of the less fancy accommodations," Carl said as he looked around before allowing his gaze to settle on Bella.
"I could talk to her regarding this if you aren’t comfortable," Carl said, trying to use his influence to show favouritism.
This might be a simple kind gesture from the boy but Bella knew what harm this gesture could do.
They had to be treated like everyone else, this was the fastest way to be accepted in the community and taken seriously.
"That’s fine, we love this setup! It beats that crappy motel we had to stay in..." Bella responded but she caught the boy looking at her wounds.
She couldn’t bla him considering it was there for all to see and she had no intention of hiding it either, she took a deep breath and Carl imdiately looked away.
"I-I’m sorry for staring," Carl apologized the mont he realized he was making Bella uncomfortable.
"It’s fine, even I’m surprised I can still walk with all these wounds. You must be looking for Lillian," Bella changed the conversation while not making it obvious.
Carl was content ending the conversation there as well as this wasn’t why he was here.
"Is she ho?" Carl asked and Bella nodded.
"She is getting all dolled up for y-!" Bella felt sothing hit the back of her head. Lillian stopped her from saying any more than she needed to say.
Bella looked around only to see that Lillian had changed into clean clothes even though she retained her baggy clothing style.
She looked a lot cuter than she usually did and Bella saw this as the perfect opportunity to tease her.
"Did you do sothing with your hair?" Bella asked and she could tell Lillian wanted to kill her by the way she was looking at her.
"I like it, it looks pretty on her..." Carl said but there was nothing sexual in his voice.
This was a genuine complint and she didn’t know how to react.
"What do you want?" Lillian asked bluntly and Bella couldn’t believe how rude she was.
This was the person that they might very well owe their lives to.
"I ca to see how you’re settling in, I didn’t know if I should co after the rain as I was already on my way before it started falling. I could tell it was going to rain so I bought a raincoat with ," Carl said and Bella knew this was how every youthful romance started.
"We’re doing quite well but why are you so concerned about if we’re doing well or not?" Lillian was aggressive and Bella couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
This was sothing straight out of a high school movie and Bella wanted no part in it.
"Did I do sothing wrong?" Carl questioned, he could tell by her tone that she either wasn’t in the mood for a conversation or she was angry at him.
"That’s how she shows her love, don’t take it to heart," Bella said as she sat down on the couch but Lillian wasn’t glad about her butting in and gave her the death stare.
"She’s such an awkward kid," Bella thought as she prepared herself for the interaction that was about to transpire.

Jason and Clentine had their mont, Jason managed to empty his balls but it wasn’t as satisfying as he had hoped.
He wanted more but Clentine didn’t share that with him, she had gotten her point across so there was no need to go any further.
Besides, Glenn had woken up and sat right in front of them, Glenn was oblivious to the effects of the coffee because it usually puts him to sleep, this explains why he headed to bed the mont he made it.
He must have had so too or he could have easily been tired but Jason was able to kill his erection in ti.
"I’m sorry, I just get so tired whenever I have so of that coffee..." Glenn said to which Jason and Clentine nodded to show that they understood where he was coming from.
"It’s fine but I don’t think the coffee does what you think it does..." Jason said.
"What do you an?" Glenn asked with a raised brow.
"That coffee has an aphrodisiac that increases the libido..." Jason said and Glenn looked puzzled by this because this was the first ti he had heard of this.
"Aphrodisiac like it makes people horny?" Glenn said but he had a second thought regarding this and he just smiled.
"It all makes sense..." Glenn said, almost as if he recalled a mory.
"My wife... She always got in the mood when she had one of my coffees and when I asked her, she told that watching make the coffee turned her on," Glenn said.
Jason noticed that his face went from happy to sad in the blink of an eye.
"Your wife... She’s dead, isn’t she?" Jason blurted out and Clentine looked at him with an irritated look, this wasn’t the right thing to say at this mont but there was no taking it back.
"Yeah, she died after the world fell... I thought I wouldn’t be able to live without her but I realized that dying would take away the mories I do have of her. This is why I live, I live to rember her," Glenn said as the faded smile slowly crept up on his face.
"I lost soone too...." Jason said, trying to share in his new friend’s misery.
"It was my brother... I didn’t appreciate him enough when he was alive. I always felt like we had more ti, more ti to get things right. More ti to be better but ti was the one thing we never had... There was so much I wanted to say to him and apologize for but death had other plans, he died during the apocalypse," Jason said and this was to encourage Glenn to keep talking.
This was Clentine’s first ti hearing this, she didn’t know much about Jason when she thought about it but this was because she planned to leave.
There was no point trying to get to know them, she didn’t need to but this was a piece of the past that she didn’t know he had.
Clentine had no plans on sharing any personal details about herself, she wanted to see just how far this manly show of emotions would go.
"I’m sorry about that man, we have all lost sothing in this new sick world but we shouldn’t lose ourselves. I chose to beco a better man for my wife, the man I wish she had seen. A strong and dependable man that she could lean on for protection, sothing she could never do while she was alive so now I protect people so they don’t need to go through what I went through... What about you, Jason?" Glenn asked.
"I beca a better person, my brother had every reason to abandon but he didn’t regardless of how much of a screw-up I was. I promised myself after he died that I would never give up on anyone just like him... I was robbed and still risked my life to protect them because I knew I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I let those n do what they would have done to them and after my brother died, I decided to be better..." Jason said and Clentine finally understood why he gave people so many chances to get better, it was because his brother offered him the sa grace.
"I like you, Jason. I did from the mont I saw you..." Glenn said.
"Hey, are you confessing your feelings to ?" Jason teased prompting Glenn to giggle.
"You wish!" Glenn responded and Clentine understood why people were drawn to Jason.
He listened, that was it, he listened.
