Once Grey

Chapter 41: Come back to me

Andrea's POV
Hosting fake surprise birthday parties was kinda normal not extreme at all , anyone could do it; I say so because Nicole has gone to parties which she hosted and still feigned surprise. My point here is we could fake anything even death but not marriage. I pulled a little stunt and he couldn't just let me get away with it, marriage isn't just something you say out of the blue. I know you're wondering why I'm pondering on it only now...well because I'm currently in a not-so-subtle-session with my mum.
" I dont trust that guy" my mum paced the room not giving room to explain.
" He doesn't just get to propose to you without meeting your parents."
Mum I kinda have only one parent and that's you.
" The tabloids are going crazy..your mental history isn't exactly helping the rumours" wow thanks for reminding me just how crazy I was and probably still am.
" They think you guys met during a group therapy session and you gained his love through pity....and who's this Emily Hart everyone is blabbing about?oh my goodness I'm gonna get a migraine from all these rumours" she said finally plopping on her couch while rubbing her temples. Emily Hart! That name again. I made a mental note to ask him about Emily Brontë or whatever her name is.
"Who cares about rumours?" I asked trying to convince myself.
" I do ...I'm running for office in a few years such scandals will come up... they're saying you guys are rushing things because you're pregnant."
Wow...things people will say . They don't even know me neither do they know Edwin. Yeah you don't know him either.
" What?"
" Well are you?" She questioned daring me to affirm yet expecting me not to lie.
" Ofcourse not" I blurted almost instantly.
" Good because my dear Dre teenage pregnancy isn't easy. You drop out, you are stigmatized, you might even lose suitors , you might even d.." she listed with her fingers.
" I get it mum"
" I want to meet this guy"
" That isn't necessary "
" Who's the mum here? If I say I want to meet him then I will, I'm just trying to be an understanding mum if not I would probably have him answer my questions in a dungeon." She snapped
" Alright fine , geez you're such a drama queen " I mumbled the last part as I made my way out of her office.
" Did you say something Dre?" She questioned, I know she heard me well... sometimes I wonder how much she's heard in this mansion.
" Nothing mum"
" Good, cuz I was just wondering who was going to pay the insurance on your car if not this drama queen."
" You? A drama queen? Ofcourse not what I meant was acting will suit you better...you shouldn't even join politics."
" I thought as much "
Drama queen

It was like one of those moments when you wanted to reprimand your best friend for telling your crush that you are crushing on him and just when you are about to rain on her, she so-innocently bribes you with your favorite ice cream and has tickets to your favourite rom-com movie...my point is you get torn between anger and desire and that's what was happening now. Here I was straddled on his lap with his arm safely guarding me as we not-so-innocently made out. I was engulfed in the warmth emanating from his body. The only difference was Edwin wasn't my best friend he wasn't offering me a bowl of my favorite ice cream neither was he having tickets to my favorite rom-com movie but...yes there was a but. But his tongue was ice cream enough...sounds gross but it made sense in my subconscious and his fingers were probably the best tickets i could ever have to the blissful place he was taking me to. Everything was going so fast and I saw my self tugging on his dark jeans so it could come off.
" Don't" he said between kisses. I didn't feel any will power in that tone so I kept going on, I managed to unbotton his jeans when....
He suddenly pulled away, his chest rose up and and down as he tried to catch his breathe, well guess what my heart was racing too but not because of the make out session but because I might have a panic attack....he just rejected me.. rejection
" We shouldn't" he simply stated and my eyes stubbornly looked down at his hard-on and his gaze followed mine.
" You okay?" I blurted the first thing I could think of. With Edwin I kinda held myself together, it was always like he said something but meant something else. So I always tried not to break down before he actually tabled his thoughts orderly. Or maybe you just don't want him to think you're pathetic. Sad to admit buh that too.
" I'll be fine,a few hand jobs will do"
" I didn't need to know that" I crunched my face in disgust
" Well you asked?"
" I asked if you were okay, I didn't need to know what you do when you get horny and are all alone"
"Mostly I just call Mia over" Ofcourse he could never be alone..he had girls at his beck and call but knowing that didn't stop my heart from dropping in my stomach. Is that what he has been doing ever since we got together?You guys aren't together babe. Yeah of course he broke up with me in the most subtle way.
" Hey, that was before you came along" Yeah every guy says that and he'll probably say that to the girl after me. Damn he probably even said it to Mia.
" I'll just get us more chips and soda." I got off his lap and made my way to the kitchen. What was I to him anyway?
" You're taking too long Grey, Klaus is about to rip heads off their bodies"
I didn't even realize I had been staring into space for so long.
We laid on the couch watching the originals. Aidan said he loved the movie because of Klaus' cruel self.
" The guy has a sibling dynasty, lucky him" I said while munching on my chips.
" Yeah, he gets to savour the luxury of locking them in coffins for hundreds of years." I smacked his chest. It became one of my favorite habits.
" Come to think of it you're just like him, you have a siblings at your disposal,which if i may add love you. There's Edmund , Edgar, Edin, Edna and Erin" I listed with my fingers. Which got me thinking why Erin's name didn't start with Ed like the others. I'll make a mental note to ask him later. Just like you made a mental note to ask him about Emily and ended up straddling him? Yeah judge me like you even know how irresistible he is.
" You forgot Edward" he added.
" Oh yeah right! Isn't he the one that takes care of your dad's company's branch in Los Angeles?" I remembered what I heard when the cameras almost flashed my eyes out when we left the Shedd aquarium and I also asked Kay cuz she kinda knows everything and everyone.
" Yeah he's often forgotten, good thing I remember him all the time" I saw hurt flash in his eyes but it was gone as soon as it came.
" The only difference between Klaus and I is that my mom hates my guts" he laughed like he didn't just blurt that his mom hated him. I thought it was the other way round. I wouldn't dare ask, last time I tried to inquire I was pushed against a wall by a very angry Edwin. So no my lips are sealed .
" Atleast you don't lock your siblings in coffins " I joked.
" I couldn't even if I wanted to, they are so evil." He pouts which is cute by the way. Everything he does is cute but it's just good to put it out there.
"That's a lie, Julia's a darling" I defend the lil kid.
" When she's with you yes,with me , she's an imp. I tell you most solemnly Edna is a demon." I didn't fail to notice how he avoided calling the name Julia.
" There's Edmund, he's a sweetheart and quite amicable, I like him." By now we weren't focused on the serie anymore.
" Don't say that about him"
" Are you jealous?" I irked him. By now my head was on his chest as it rose and fell simultaneously with my head that laid on it and my fingers drew circles on his stomach. I wouldn't even call it a stomach cos it was rock hard geez.
" I'm not , we basically have thesame DNA though I took all the beauty." He bragged
" Yeah and you forgot the brains"
" You sure know how to live up to the title of being my favorite girl don't you?"
" What can I do? You place such great responsibilities on my shoulders. It's hard keeping up with you Aidan Torres." I said half joking
" Sure?" You seem to handle me pretty well."
" I have a question f..." I was cut off by my phone ringing.
" Hey Dre-e " I heard him slur from the other end of the phone.
" Are you drunk?" I asked the obvious.
" Me?? Nahh I'm good" he laughed
" Alan where are you ? I'm coming right now."I said abruptly sitting up from the couch.
" You are.." hiccups "Are Soo paranoid, I'm just celebrating."
" Alan Milan Jones , where the hell are you?" I demanded in a sharp tone earning a somewhat blank expression from Edwin who had been staring at me all this while.
" My happy place" he muttered and I don't know if it's because of how silent that came out but it sounded sad and just then the beeping sound was the only thing I could hear signalling he cut the call. But i knew exactly what he meant by his happy place "BLISS" a club downtown.
" I need to leave " I said making my way to our.. I mean his room to change my clothes.
" Where are you going to?" I didn't even notice him follow me.
" I need to check up on Alan" I said finally making my way into the bathroom to change.
I come out minutes later.
" Where are you going to in that?" He asked eyeing me from hair to sole and i tried not to roll my eyes. I was putting on a black gown stopping alil below my mid thigh which covered my breast in a form of a bow exposing my cleavage and all of my stomach as the rest of the material hung on my waist.
" Just with Alan" I answer avoiding the Club word. I tie my hair up with my scrunchie. I noticed his gaze was between my cleavage and uncovered belly.
" Hello Aid my face is up here" I chuckled and he lifted his gaze with a frown and I just ignored it and applied gloss on my lips.
" There's no way I'm leaving you to go out dressed like that."
" Alan's gonna be there so I'm covered" Maybe if he knew I was going to a club he was gonna get mad and I didn't want to be at the end of it. I say" maybe "because trust me this dude confuses the brain out of me. I don't even know if he cares about me or not.
" Oh you mean the Alan who wants you to act the "sober driver"part ? Yeah right that Alan is in his right state of mind to protect you."
" Who said he was drunk?"
" I did, so I'm going with you, I'll just get my c.."
" Don't bother" I said cutting him off. It's very obvious Alan doesn't like us dating which obviously means he hates Edwin's guts. I don't want to risk them ending up in a fist fight so no, Edwin wasn't coming with me. And again I was going to a club...what's the worst that could happen? Yeah I know those statements shouldn't be stuck in one sentence buh hey what could possibly go wrong?
" You aren't going like that, makes me wonder if you're really going to pick Alan up or Kaylie put you up to this Cuz she's jealous I have you." He disappeared into the room not extinguishing the fire he lit in me when he said I have you
you've got me Aidan Torres
"Wear this" he handed me his jacket after coming back seconds later. I think I will wear this more often so I could get him to give me his jacket. Or you could just ask.
No I'll rather get asthma in an attempt to make him give me his jacket.
" Earth to Grey?" He said his hand still stretched infront of me with the jacket.
" Thanks" As soon as I got into his jacket his manly cologne flew into my nostrils and I couldn't help but take in a deeper breathe then he said the sweetest thing I'd ever heard.
" Come back to me" he said with a kiss on my forehead and the butterflies in my stomach erupted, my heart beat accelerated thrice it's normal rate and my legs almost gave up on me...and he doesn't even know what he does to me.

Oh wow did anyone realize how they always get interrupted my phone calls?
