"Aaaah" she started screaming as we watched the front glass being hit with bullets from those men who kept shooting again and again.
"Stop screaming, are you trying to deafen me? Just shut up-I said annoyed. She looked at me and her eyes filled with tears, as a slight tear slid down her cheek she quickly covered, I don't know why, but I felt bad seeing her cry. Could it be because I'm always used to seeing her smile?"
"You are not scared? Those guys are shooting at us, we could die" she said hiding her head in her forearm, shielding herself from me.
"What's fear?" I asked and she raised her head, her red eyes, red from tears.
"You never have been scared?" she asked incredulously, bringing her hands up to her cheeks, wiping away her tears.
"If I had felt it, I wouldn't ask you, that feeling isn’t something I experience" I said looking into her eyes. "I have never felt it in my life, maybe anger, fury, but never fear-, it doesn't mean anything to me, not as a child nor now."
She sighed and looked back at the men who were still firing their guns.
'Is Alessander normal?' Daniela thought.
"I've always been scared but when I'm with you, that changes. I'm brave. Besides, my life has not been easy, your father taught me how to use a gun and I always carry one hidden in my backpack. However, I always try not to use it."
"Who are those men? When did my father do this?"
"Enemies of my father. When I was 6 years old, your father has always taken care of me, but I don't know why" she said, not meeting my eyes, I know she won't say more.
My father only protects our family.
Even if I try to ask, I know she won't answer.
"I'm hungry, let's go home" I said, accelerating the car towards the men and running them over. Their bodies flew into the air, fragile, like they were made of paper.
"Goodness-I said, while she turned back to look at the men now on the ground."
After a moment, she seemed to relax.
"Are these the same men who tried to kill you last time? At Fran's house?"
"Yes, they are the same" she said heavily. "Thank you for saving me this time. You are my superhero and I would give my life for you."
"Don't exaggerate, Daniela"
"I'm not exaggerating. I’m just a kid"
"Haha, kid"
"I'm a virgin"
"Being a virgin doesn't make you a kid"
"Then, a young lady?"
"Hahaha, you never get bored with your nonsense. The virginal and sweet Daniela"
"I'm only like this with you"
"Well, you better be" What on earth did I just say?
"Alessandro"
"What do you want, Daniela?"
"Will you remove it?"
"Remove what?"
"You know"
"I don't know if I can, speak clearly"
"That" she said pointing at a black spider on her arm.
"Hahaha, it's a relief-"
"What were you thinking about? You pervert.."
"Nothing at all."
"I have arachnophobia"
"You are such a fool, that's what you are. If you really had arachnophobia, you'd be screaming or jumping to the ceiling of the car from the moment you saw the spider."
"Like this?.... Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, a spider, I'm so scared, hahaha" For some reason, it reminded me of my sweet sister Alessia when she pretends to be scared.
I don't know how, but she unbuckled her seatbelt and ended up straddling me.
I had to stop the car to avoid hitting another, and then I put my hand around her waist
"Are you ins...-"
Before I could finish speaking, she leaned in and kissed me.
Her kiss took me by surprise, so I didn't have time to react.
Just as I was beginning to return the kiss, she jumped off me.
"I got so scared" she said, her eyes averted.
"I'm hungry" I said as I started the car again and we continued the drive home. The journey was silent and when we got home, she paused at the entrance.
"Aren’t you coming in, Daniela?"
"Of course, grumpy old man."
"Old man?"
"Haaa, yes, you're as grumpy as an old man, you need some color in your life, everything is black and red."
"I don't like colors"
"Didn't you like it?"
"No, I have a girlfriend"
"Ha."She walked towards the house.
Just as she reached the door, my sister ran out like a little girl and jumped into Daniela's arms
"Little Dany, friend, sister of my heart, I missed you so much" my sister showing off her skills at manipulation.
"Hello, Alessia" Daniela replied with a smile.
"You can go in, my parents are in the living room with Alexis and Alma, I will talk to my brother" Alessia looked at me.
"Sure, excuse me"
We watched her walk into the house, neither of us spoke until she was inside.
"You have red lipstick on your lips" Alessia said wiping it off with her thumb.
"She..."
"Did you sleep with her in the car that Dad gave you?" she asked, smiling as she looked at my car.
"No, I didn’t. She's just an immature and stupid girl"
"You're upset because she didn't sleep with you? Brother, who is she...?"
"I don’t know."
"What happened to your car?" She asked looking at the slight scratches.
"Some people were trying to kill Daniela."
"Well, if they don't kill Daniela, Stephy will, when she finds out Daniela kissed you."
"Haha, yes….Don't tell her."
"Yes, yes, if Stephy tries to do anything to Daniela, dad will be furious, I wonder why he protects her. Could she be our sister?"
"Nooo, no, I don't think so" I said shaking my head vehemently.
"You say no because you'd be sleeping with your sister?"
"Yes... No, father is so foolish for mother he would never cheat on her."
"Yes, it's not him, it's you. But, tell me, how does it feel to kiss your sister? She started laughing and wrapped her arms around my shoulders."
"Don't spout nonsense, Alessia. Daniela is not our sister."
"How do you know?"
"Well," I asked Daniela and she said no, but our father has known her since childhood. Ask mother, maybe she knows something, use your charm.
"Yes, General Alessandro" She put her hands to her forehead and smiled"Brother."
"What?"
"Charles Walker is returning in a few days. Do you think he still has feelings for me?"
"I don't know, he's not the same foolish boy, now he’s the semi-CEO thanks to his father."
