She isn't married to me

Chapter 13: trouble

ANDREW

After I went home last night, I couldn't sleep at all. She was in my mind the whole time, I want to help her, but I don't know if she wants my help, I do know she needs it though. If she only wouldn't keep her things for herself.

Now I know she likes me, but she doesn't want to hurt me. Does that mean she doesn't see a future with me? And why am I visualizing a future with her when she clearly said the phrase "after we are gone." I wanted to dug up this topic with her last night but when things started to steam up after some kisses, she stopped and asked me to leave.

I am a gentleman, I was doing what she said, but I'm a stubborn man, as well. I had to do it. She opened the door, but I gently closed it and kissed her one more time, I was so glad she let me. I wish I can say it was a passionate kiss, but it wasn't, it was the opposite, a tender and sweet kiss. I have no intentions to kiss her the way she doesn't want to, and for some reason she kisses me the same way. It was like if we are reconnecting after being separated for a long time and we were not in a hurry to take things further. Like if we have the eternity to be together or something like that.

And now I'm here, exhausted and working. The first question that comes to my mind is "will she come today?" I want to text her to see if she's ok, but she said I can't. So, when I see her car in the parking lot I wanted to run outside and lifted her up in my arms, or in one arm at least, pretty soon I will get rid of awful this plaster on my arm.

However, and to my surprise, it's not her, it's the beast with another woman, only she looks no more than 18 years old. That's gross, beast!

I can't move when suddenly he shakes my hair with his big hand and tells me "Andrew my boy, what are you doing outside? It's like if you were expecting somebody else. My wife couldn't come today, she took Sophie to her grandma's house. I know she eats lunch here every day, so why not bringing a nice lady to enjoy here too, right?" He winks at me. "It's a cold day, let's go inside, give us your best lunch, homeless boy."

Can somebody tell me this is a joke before I hit this guy on his nose? Now that I know Adria is not with him, I must text her. "Hey, is everything ok? Fred is here at the restaurant with a young woman, he says you are at your grandma's but I don't trust him."

She replies after some minutes "Hi Andrew, in fact I am at my grandma's, thanks for writing me, can I ask you a favor?"

"Of course, I told you I'd anything for you" I texted back.

"If Fred and the girl do something else than talking can you take some pictures, please?" She writes this and I know what she means.

"Consider it done" I send her the message. Now let's get this ball rolling.

It's funny to see how a man acts in front of the woman he wants to take to bed, that's exactly what happens with the beast right now, he knows he is in public, but he makes some subtle moves that prove she is more than a friend for him, she's not dumb either, she knows what she does. What he wasn't expecting was that the girl he is with now, was with me during our school days. Her name is Rhonda and while Fred goes outside to talk on the phone, she waves her hand at me asking me to come to her table.

"Hi Andrew, long time no see, how have you been? I heard you had a terrible accident, I'm so sorry for you." She speaks with a flirtatious look on her eyes, she's not sorry, I recognize that look on her eyes, she wants to get in my pants, typical Rhonda.

Oh no, that won't work with me again, I know what and how answer to that "I've been better, but nothing to be worried about. Hey, sorry if I'm being curious but, are you working for Fred or something? It's not common to see him eating in here." I wanted to say with a slut, but no, that's not me anymore. Besides, that's not what I want to ask her, I know she has always wanted to be part of rich people, this is not the first wealthy man I see her with.
