Once Grey

Chapter 16: Sorry

"Stop it" she cried out and I stopped just like that.
" Get up " I said calmly pulling out a handkerchief from my jacket pocket and cleaning my bloodstained fist. The guy looked so horrified . I can tell from his expression that he doesn't belong here. He probably just heard the blaring sounds and decided to blend .
" Get up" I said alil firmer this time. " Now run" he scrambled to his feet and made his way downstairs like the jackass that he was.
I turned to a distressed Grey.
" What did you think when you where following that guy?" I finally asked.
" Atleast he didn't leave me like you did back there"
" You can't be serious" a small laugh escaped my lips" you refused to come with me Grey"
" Thanks for helping me out" she said and I almost strained to hear her.
" And I'm sorry for spoiling your day" where was she taking this to?
" What are you saying" this time I was right infront of her.
" I'm sorry for the things I put in your girlfriend's head and for ruining your night which was meant to be peaceful and for staining your shirt." Her eyes were already so teary I couldn't even see her pupils well enough cuz as much as I'm sure it blurred her vision it blurred mine too.
" I always mess things up, nothing ever lasts for long with me" she kept on and she might still be drunk now but once she is sober enough she will kill me for what I'm about to do.
" I'm so s..." Then I press my lips on hers at first she's shocked but slowly gives in. I taste the mint , the vodka all the different flavours in her mouth as our kiss deepens and I finally get a hold of her head tilting it slidely to get better access and I feel her arms around the back of my neck as she gets on tiptoes despite her heels.

Andrea's POV
The sunrise Pierces through my eyelids and I use my palm to shade it. I blink a couple of times trying to take in my environment. I do know I was at a party last night but I don't remember getting to my room. And I don't remember my bed being covered in black and white sheets. I put up the blanket to peek at what I'm wearing and realize I'm not in my party clothes, I'm in a white big t-shirt and black sweats that were really oversized. I try taking in my surroundings and I'm guessing I'm not in an apartment. The room is very big with the only colour dripping from it being white and black . The rug, the study table , the lamp were all black, the walls were white and the curtains were black which already looked like someone had opened them. With 3 different doors in the room. All I do remember is the talk I had at the bar with Edwin and then I danced alil and then some guy named Tristan pulled me towards the stairs and Edwin saving me and oh my God, he kissed me!!!
"I'm glad you're awake " that so familiar accent snapped me out of flash back mode.
" And what I'm I doing here?"
"You're welcome " he stood from the far end in black sweatpants and a white t-shirt with white towel over his neck and I notice his wet hair.
" Don't make it seem like I have to be greatful when you took advantage of me."
"That wouldn't have happened if you weren't so clingy"
" Don't act like you didn't want it too, you were so into it"Edwin said rather finding fun in all of this but it wasn't fun ok. He has taken away the one thing that still makes me feel like I haven't lost my sanity. Tears were already puddled at the Corner of my eyes
" Oh my God what have I done?" I mumbled to myself as I paced in the room raking my fingers in my hair.
" Hey calm down" he trotted towards me and I raised my hand to stop him.
" Don't you dare come beside me" . I couldn't take it, I had lost myself to him , just like that, so simple ,so cheat , I'm no different from Mia or the other girls who throw themselves at him. The tears just poured out. The tears I had been holding since yesterday flowed out.
" Arghhhhhh" I cried out I punched the pillow so hard.
" Calm down Grey"
" Don't tell me to calm down okay , do you know what you have taken from me? That was the only thing I had left that still made me feel sane , and now you just took it"
"Just listen to what I'm saying here"
" There's nothing to listen to just get out ...GET OUT? It came out sharper with a series of pillows hitting him until he grabbed one in he's hand coming closer and shooting it on the floor.
" I didn't take advantage of you geez I will never do that because those that I sleep with come willingly ." And he left the room . I felt humiliated but happy, I mean I just broke down infront of him but it's okay .But why was I being so stupid i mean i did wake up with clothes on right. Leave ut to me to panic and ruin things. But now I need to say sorry. Like you always do.
I decided to go out of the room and look for Edwin. I could tell this wasn't his apartment . I first of all went to the bathroom and found a spare toothbrush in the cupboard I brushed my teeth and washed my face before exiting the room. Going out of the room and walking through the hallway I could tell this house was huge. There were various doors on either side of the walls . I saw a half opened door and decided to go in. I made my way in and was surprised to see a lil girl with black hair falling on her shoulders and the most beautiful brown eyes .
" So you're the girl Eddy brought home" she said crossing her arms across her chest.
" Yh I guess I am , can you show me where he is please?" I said with alil smile I didn't want to prolong my stay here .I'm guessing he has brought trillions of female specimens home. Is that a glimpse of jealousy??
" And what do I get?" She asked with a cute authoritative tone.
" Umm lemme see, I have nothing here but I promise I will bake for you".At that her eyes lit up.
" You can bake?"
" Yh my mum taught me " i said stooping to her level .Maybe this was time to dig alil. "What about you does your mum teach you stuff too?" I asked in my playful voice...well the one I use with kids.
And her smile slowly faded
" I don't have a mum, Eddy said I don't need one" she said looking at the ground and I felt pity for her. Did I miss it or she just spoke about her mom like she was some book that wasn't really needed in a class. See wat My stupid curiousity about that picture I saw with Edwin has made me do to this poor soul.
" Hey look at me, that isn't true okay , every one needs a mom, tell you what I will bring you to my house to bake with my mom if you take me to Edwin.
"Promise" she put out her pinky finger
" I promise"
" And since we are friends now my name is Julia and you are?" The now named lil girl said extending her small hands for a handshake.
" I'm Andrea" and we shook hands gracefully which led to her taking me through various hallways and stairways which led to the decking of the building.
" You can always find him here" she said with a wink.
"Thanks"
The decking was quite a site as it had a pool on top and a very perfect view of the city.
He sat backing me with his legs dangling in the water.here goes everything yet nothing.
" Umm hey" I said as I pulled up my borrowed sweats and put my legs in water too.
" If you're looking for your phone it's in the second drawer to your left of the bed as for your dress I gave it to the maids for dry-cleaning." He said without looking at me even once.
" I didn't come here for that" " so what are you here for and how do you know I was here?"
" Julia showed me where u were ....." I paused alil."and I'm here to apologise, I shouldn't have judged you so easily considering you saved me two times since yesterday and I'm really grateful that you didn't take advantage of me."
"It's okay alot of people know I'm bad and are weary won't blame you "
" Well I don't think you are bad apart from your manwhore skills that irritates me."
" Manwhore skills, seriously" he said as he chuckled and that's when he finally looked at me.
" Yes I mean you are literally always with a girl...seems like they give you Oxygen or something".
" Are you jealous ?"
" You wish"
" I could always reserve a spot just for you" he said winking . I was happy he was easy going .. I still wonder why he detests his mom. Well he hasn't told mi buh I can sense it.
" Thanks but no thanks I'm good".
We were quiet for Abit with each of us engrossed in our own minds , I was happy I could save my friendship with him. Is that what we are? Friends?
" So who's the guy you didn't save ?"
" Was he your boyfriend?" Ed asked his eyes never leaving the ripples the water made because of the constant movement of his legs.
" No he was......" Was interrupted by a phone ringing. Edwin pulled out his phone and answered looking very serious which was a complete contrast to the happy look he had before.
" Let me take you home" He said as we made our way out of the water and back to the house.
