A Little Too Dark

A Little Bathroom Session.

It was the most uncomfortable dinner Andrea has ever been to – including the time when Farrah decided to tell everyone she was pregnant with Liana at the family dinner. Farrah wouldn't stop talking about Caleb, Gus couldn't stop enjoying it and Lorenzo could stop squeezing her thigh like it was a squeeze toy. It was still weird for her to feel his touch – sure they kissed once and sure she imagined him when he was with Caleb, but still it felt so foreign because what they have right now is real – maybe as real as it can be, but that is on future.

The dinner went slow and she had lost all her appetite because of the hand that was pressing on her each time Caleb's name came up by her stupid sister. After dinner, all of them sat in the living area as they discussed the wedding. Lorenzo was out – probably having another smoke. Andrea wrinkled her nose. She will have to talk about it. She doesn't like the smell of it. Andrea had an urge to use the bathroom, so she excused herself and went to pee.

After she used the toilet, she washed her hands and stared into her reflection. She titled her head and squinted her eyes. She dressed up for Lorenzo, but he didn't even look at her that much. It is funny how he has touched her more tonight than he looked at her. She chuckled softly and fixed her hair when she heard a knock on the door. "In a minute!" she yelled out. It was probably Farrah coming to bug her again about Caleb. She needs to find a story to distract her from Caleb.

There was a pause before there was a knock again. She groaned and marched to the door before she swung opened it, "I swear if this is about Cal –" Her words died in her mouth when she saw Lorenzo standing on the other side. Andrea's mouth opened but no words came out.

"What about Caleb?" He questioned. His voice sounded deeper, but he didn't reek of smoke. He didn't give Andrea a chance to reply as he walked forward, forcing her to take steps back until he was in the washroom. He slowly closed the door behind him and then rested his back against it.

"Uh," She still couldn't form words. How could she? She was in a confined place with Lorenzo. He looked so good tonight, he always does but today was something special about him – maybe it was the reason that they were some sort of item – or not. She doesn't know what it was about this man, but his mere presence makes her speechless.

Lorenzo seemed calm – a lot calmer than she was. He didn't have his hand into fists. He didn't have a frown on his face either – Andrea squinted her eyes. It was weird to see him so calm. She leaned against the marble slab beside the sink and placed both her hand on the edge. Lorenzo titled his head slightly – his eyes, he needed to avert them or else Andrea's knees will give up. She gulped and looked away from him.

"What about him?" She asked as she glanced back at him.

Lorenzo softly shrugged, "Your sister seems to believe that he is the perfect match for you," he smiled. That smile was no ordinary smile. It wasn't a pleasant smile either. It was a soft yet sarcastic smile. A smile that was an ungracious one.

Andrea let out a nervous chuckle, "She doesn't know what she is talking about." She waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to worry about him. He is just a friend." She added.

Lorenzo narrowed his eyes and softly chuckled, "I am not worried about him." He asked.

Andrea twisted her mouth amusingly, "Well, I have an imprint of your hand on my thigh that says otherwise," She replied.

Lorenzo wrinkled his nose, "Sorry about that," he said. "Um," he scratched his eyebrow, "I don't know why I did that. I kept hearing about Caleb and well –" He paused.

A smile curled on Andrea's lips that she suppressed by bit her lips together, "And you got jealous," She completed his words for him.

Lorenzo averted his gaze at her. Just the way he looks at her could make her melt into a puddle. Lorenzo hesitated before he blew his cheeks and nodded, "Yes," He whispered. His confession couldn't stop her from blushing. She looked down on the floor and smiled while her teeth held her lips dearly in their hold. Lorenzo couldn't take his eyes off her either. "It is all so weird." He mumbled without taking his gaze off her.
