Chapter 11
I pull the wet bikini off and dry myself with the towel and then slip into a flower patterned dress with many colours in it but mostly pink and orange.
I come down the stairs and find Andy cooking in the kitchen.
“Hungry?”
“Yeah”
“I hope you like beans on toast”
“Thanks” I sit down at the table and begin eating and he sits down on the opposite side of the table
“Ok let’s get to know each other a little better. How old are you?”
“17 nearly 18 you?”
“19 I’ll tell you about me and then you can tell me about you”
I nod and he begins to talk
“Ok I’m a champion swimmer. I live with my mum, dad, sister Diana and my dog splash. My favourite colour is blue. I love music. I graduated from Micklow College and I work as a life guard”
“I dropped out of performing school. My so called father and this guy called Hunter wants me. I live with my uncle Gerald but he is my dad and he’s a FBI agent. I’m on the run from these nut cases called the Redds. I may never see my daughter again or my friends. My favourite colour is pink and I also love music”
Andy stares at me and of course he is I’m so stupid spilling my guts to him like that after everything that’s happened I still haven’t learned not to trust people. Brown eyes seem to be my downfall.
“You look a little young to have a baby”
“Yeah Alicia is less than two weeks old, her father Hunter is crazy and obsessed with me. Wait why am I telling you this?”
“You can trust me” I don’t know why he is just so easy to talk to and he seems to really listen to what I say and I like it.
“The last guy who said that ended up betraying me” I remember pulling the trigger and shooting Will aka Gary in the head.
“I would never betray such a beautiful young girl” I look up it’s been ages since someone has called me beautiful or made me feel good about myself and Andy does.
“I’m not a good person to be around Andy” I don’t want him to fall for me but I have already fallen for him. I can’t fall for him anymore I have to guard my heart if I don’t Hunter will kill it.
“I don’t care you’ve got me hook line and sinker”
“You don’t know what you’re getting yourself into”
“Don’t care I’m involved in this now”
“Please don’t say that”
“Why? We are in this together”
Andy gets up and starts walking towards me and I spot a giant spider crawling on the floor and jump up on the chair.
“What?” Andy laughs
“SP ...SP” I try to shout spider but the words don’t come out. Andy looks on the floor and sees the spider.
“What this little guy he won’t hurt you” he holds it in the palm of his hand
“Keep that thing away from me”
“What you don’t like spiders?”
I shake my head “Just put it outside!”
He opens the door and puts the spider out.
“It’s gone you can get down from the chair now” I do
“It’s not funny everyone has a fear. What’s yours?”
“At the minute loosing you”
“That would be a good thing trust me”
“No it wouldn’t it would be a tragedy and a disaster”
“Why? You barley even know me”
“I want to know you. What are the chances I would meet the girl of my dreams three days before I leave”
“You should go home Andy”
“No I’m staying. Please Rachel just give me a chance I’m not like the other guys”
“That’s what they all say”
“Just one chance let me show you the real Andy Buntly”
“Alright, But I warn you I’m trouble”
“Yeah I figured that when I saw you running up the beach but hey trouble is my middle name”
“Well I’m shattered I’m going to bed”
“Night”
“Goodnight Andy”
I wake up in the morning and go down stairs. I find a note sitting on the table.
Morning Beautiful
Sorry I had to go to work. I left you something in my room for our date later
Andy xxx
I go upstairs again and find Andy’s room, it’s full of trophies, certificates and medals that look familiar but I can’t remember where I’ve seen them before. I spy another note sitting on the bed along with a black dress and heels.
Hi Beautiful
Rachel hope you like the dress be ready for half two my shift ends then see you later.
Andy xxxx
Andy arrives back at the house and hands me a dozen red roses. He looks smoking he is wearing a white shirt and jeans and he is eyeing my all over in my black ballerina dress.
We arrive at the beach he parks the car and grabs a bag from the boot of the car. We walk down the beach together and then Andy runs to leave the bag up at the tower and comes back holding two surf boards.
“You’re teaching me to surf?”
“No I’m just bringing these back two minutes then I’m all yours”
“Go”
Andy comes running down the beach once again he is such a fit person he’s not even out of breath I know I might be. He takes my hand and I know that it was stupid to think that the chemistry died it looks like he is getting closer to me. He surprises me by putting a blind fold over my eyes so that I can see nothing only black. He starts walking with me and I have to trust him to lead me.
He unties the blindfold and I can see a trail of red roses leading up to a table that is lit by tons of candles. I sit down and he takes out the contents of the bag. There are sandwiches ham and cheese from what I can see and he has also brought chocolate covered strawberries.
“One thing I probably should’ve mentioned I am the worst cook on the planet”
There is silence for a minute and then I burst out laughing as I don’t know what else to do. I pick up a sandwich. He may not be a good cook but man does he know how to talk. He has a way with his words that make you fall in love with him.
We sit and talk for ages about everything from family to my ex’s and he never once makes me feel like I’m a bad person he makes me incredible to say the least. Andy leans across the table and plants a gentle but sweet kiss on my lips and that’s when I know we have more than chemistry.
