ANDY MILES

Emotions

"Good morning Andy dear"

Usella's frenzy voice came on. She drew the drapes apart and the ray of light found it's way in. Andy groaned and covered her face with the duvet.

"Good morning Usella"

She grumbled into the duvet. Usella chuckled and walked over to the table where she had left the food.

"Get up already Andy. Ryan gave specific instructions to the cooks to specially prepare this meal for you"

The duvet was off her face that second. The events of last night rushed in like a flash. She turned to the other side of the bed. It was so neatly arranged, one would doubt all that had happened few hours earlier.

Andy soothed her hand on the sheets as her eyes went doleful.

What had she been expecting, of course he was going to leave right after. It was the baby that mattered. Her eyes were slowly getting wet. She glanced up to the food tray Usella had laid off on the bed. It was scrambled eggs and a wholemeal bagel and some milk as usual.

Andy frowned. What was so special about it?

The bed dipped as Usella sat at the foot of the bed.

"This here was his favourite meal up until his mother died. Eva was so good at preparing the bagels. Eat up"

Andy had only nodded. The wan look she had on didn't go unnoticed by Usella. When she had walked in that morning, the wispy smell of mint had hit her, she knew Ryan had been there and for reasons she didn't know but it was sure Ryan won't hurt her but his attitude wasn't so good either.

Usella stretched a hand and rubbed her thighs

"You don't look so good Andy. Want to talk about it?"

Andy looked down at her hands and shook her head.

"No"

Usella heaved and nodded as she shifted the tray closer to her. She gazed at her

"I'm here whenever you need me dear. When you're done eating, you call me. You know how. We will be going for a short walk later. I can't believe you do not have the desire to explore a big mansion like this one"

Andy smiled watching the excitement lit up on Usella'a eyes. She loved the idea too. She wouldn't want to be stuck in a room for the coming months. A thought crossed her mind as her face went plain again.

"Are you sure Ryan won't have a problem with it Usella"

Usella was up on her feet staring at her. She beamed as Andy's smile deepened. Her smile was so contagious, she could probably watch her, smile all day. It was like therapy to the soul. Usella flipped her hair to the back and Andy wowed. The thought of her once being a runaway model was something she could keep her mind on. She had done it so well. Andy was still absorbed in her world of fantasy, when Usella's chicky voice came on

"Who cares?"

Andy swallowed with a short laugh

"I do?!"

Usella joined her as she laughed again, Andy continued.

"I certainly do not want the arrogant rich ass to raise his voice at me or the child"

"It's his child as well"

Andy shrugged her shoulders

"I don't know" she mumbled

"He won't have a problem with that as far as you're safe and do not step outside the mansion. If something does happen, I will be in serious trouble"

Andy scoffed
