I answer questions never maybe
And I'm not kind if you betray me.
So who the hell are you to say we
Never would have made it babe.

CHAPTER 1
Andrea stood there with a can of Dr. Pepper in her hand seating on the street. I watch closely as she put it up to her lips taking a sip.
"Hey," I smiled as walked up to her.
"Martinez," she whispers.
"Does the Governor know you are out here? It's past curfew," I informed her.
"No. He'll be looking for me soon. I am sure," she says throwing the can out into the road.
"You two have a thing, huh?"
"I am not really sure. We have been together, but I closed my emotions down a long time ago. I have no idea what he maybe feeling ,I don't even care to be honest," Andrea said her blonde hair falling in her face.
"What was his name? I know you lost somebody."
"I don't want to talk about it."
"Come on. You can trust me. I ain't an asshole like you think," I said placing my hand on her face.
"His name was Daniel if you must know. The only man I ever loved. We grew up together. He was my first kiss, my first date, and my first everything," she says sadly.
"You know what happened to him?"
"No. I assume Daniel is dead. We were going to get married after I got back from the road trip with my sister. I called him after the outbreak because I couldn't get back to Florida. He never picked up his phone once. He was just gone. Probably killed by one of those things like my sister. Still, not knowing drives me crazy," she says.
"And now you are with the Governor. Is he anything like Daniel?" I said removing my hand, I knew touching her was asking for trouble.
"No, Philip isn't like anyone I have ever meet before. I am not sure if that is a good thing or not. But Daniel was amazing. No one could compare. He was a civil right lawyer like me. He was very accomplished, wealthy, and handsome. Sometimes I felt like I didn't deserve him. All my friends were so jealous. And he was so easy to be with. Everyone loved Daniel. We couldn't keep our hands off each other. Everything was so simple then. My life was all planned out. Things have changed. My biggest concern then was my wedding venue," her voice is breaking up.
"Wasn't whether you should get a band or dj?" I teased her.
"No. We were getting a Beatles cover band," she says crushing the can with her shoe.
"Good choice. You know I have a record player in my apartment. I found Abbey Road album recently on a supply run. You want to come with me? Listen to some good music and a drink few beers," I asked reaching down to hold her hand for a moment.
God, her skin was so soft I though as she lets go.
"You shouldn't tempt me like that. You know why I can't," Andrea says sadly.
I am silent for a moment. I like her and I think she likes me too. Why can't it be that simple?
"The Governor. You don't want to upset him," I said finally.
"Woodbury is his town. I feel like I owe him my life. This community means the world to me. I can't risk getting thrown out," she says with unreadable expression.
"Do you want me to walk you back to your apartment?"
"No, I am supposed to go back to Philip's. I said I would. But thank you for getting me to talk about Daniel. It is good to remember the people we've lost. Makes me smile to remember his kindness. What wouldn't I do to see Daniel or my sister again?," she says a few tears coming to her eyes.
"Don't cry Andrea," I whisper holding her into my arms.
I look at her lovely face, and I know I am getting into deep with this girl. How did this happen? Damn.
"What is going on here?" I hear a low voice behind me, I turn to see the Governor.
"Martinez was about to walk me to my apartment. I lost track of time at Milton's and didn't realize I was out past curfew. He just was keeping me safe," Andrea says walking over to him.
"Is that right?" The Governor asks me.
"Yeah. That's plenty much it," I said.
"Good job. But I can take it from here," he says putting his arms around her.
I nodded, silently walking way. I feel my heart aching as I watch them together. I wanted to spend more time with Andrea, but I knew I wouldn't get a chance.
The Governor was claming ownership over Andrea, before anyone got a chance to know her. Sometimes, he could be so selfish.
