Our secret ~ a Landrew story

Part 5 - Lexi R

June 25 12:58 PM

I nearly kissed Andrew today but I backed out.
I got really nervous and couldn't handle it. We were so close last night. He was cuddling me and I was laying on his chest. I woke him up in the middle of the night because I had a horrible dream.

•Flashback•

I saw the guy from the store again. He came up to me with a knife.

"Don't move or I swear I will hurt you and your family." He says with a straight face.

Then I see Andrew running towards him pushing him off me.

"Don't fucking touch her asshole!" Then he screams in pain. I look down and see that the guy stabbed Andrew in the stomach.

"Andrew!!" I yell and start crying.

"You're next bitch" The guy says while smiling creepily.

•End of flashback•

When I woke up Andrew was comforting me, making sure I was okay. I absolutely love him.
I'm surprised he didn't ask me about the dream. Luckily he didn't because I would've probably broken down.

His birthday is tomorrow and I still have no idea what to buy him. Maybe a chain? No he already has a lot. Shoes? He already has many too. Oh my god he has everything.

I move my hands in frustration. What am I gonna get him? He deserves the world but how am I gonna give him that?

My thoughts get interrupted by an incoming call. I glance over my phone to check who it is and see that it's Pierson.

"Hey P"

"Hey Lex wanna go to the mall with me and Liv?"

"Sure I'm down. Lemme just get ready really quickly"

"Okay we'll pick you up in like 20 minutes."

"Sounds good!" I say and hang up. It's been some time since I've gone out with the girls. I haven't been going out a lot lately. Ive been feeling really lonely.

I get ready in less than 15 minutes and walk out the door to wait for Pierson to get here.

"Hey Lex get in!" She pulls up and rolls down the window.

"I'm coming!"

We ended up wasting a lot of money at Louie Vuitton. Well it was mostly me because that's my favorite store.

"Guys my card is literally crying right now" I say while laughing.

"Don't buy anything else Lexi" Liv says pushing my hand down.

We walk around the mall and go inside stores for another hour and then we head back home. We stopped by Starbucks first of course. Pierson drops Liv off at her apartment first and then she drops me off at my house.

While she was driving me home she asks,
"When are you gonna tell Andrew you like him?"

I look at her and just sip my drink quietly.

"Don't ignore me girl!" She says while looking at me.

"I don't know yet! I'm pretty sure he doesn't even like me back." I say while looking down.

"Have you seen the way he looks at you? How he talks to you? Trust me Lexi, he is falling for you."

"How are you even sure? You could be wrong." I shrug.

"I could be but I'm not. Just go for it. Confess to him tomorrow."

"On his birthday?? I don't think so." I say as I look away.

"Cmon Lex just do it. If you don't then I will."

"No! Okay fine I'll confess to him." I say giving in.
I can't believe she's really making me do this.

After she drops me off I get out of my clothes and put on some sweats and a crop top. I feel super tired from walking around the whole mall.

I lay down on my bed and turn on the tv. I start watching All American since the new season came out. After a few episodes I start drifting off. Right as i was about to fall asleep I get a text from my mom.

Mom ❤️: Hey honey, we're gonna be going back on Monday.

It was currently Tuesday. I respond and say okay. My parents are always on work trips. My mom was a teacher but she got promoted to a super Intendant at the district. She has to go to multiple meetings around the state. My dad goes with her to keep her company and to help her out.

They haven't been home a lot lately.

I start to drift off again and think of me in Andrews arms....

••••
"Hey baby how'd you sleep?" Andrew says with a smile.

"I slept good, since you're here." I say and kiss him.

He grabs my waist and pulls me against him. He grabs me tighter and kisses me even more.

He takes his shirt off and I take mine off too. We make out even more. He starts giving me hickeys on my neck.

I wake up from the dream wishing it was real. I put my face into my pillow and start whining in frustration.

"Why can't he just be mineee" I say against the pillow.

I check my phone and see that it's 6:18 PM. I hear my stomach growl so I get up and walk towards the kitchen. When I get downstairs I see Brent and Andrew on the couch watching TV.

"Holy shit you guys scared me!"

"Hi to you too?" Brent says while laughing at me.

"Hey Lex" I hear Andrew say.

Just hearing his voice makes me feel nervous.

"We brought you sushi" Andrew says while pointing at the counter.

"Thanks, but what are you guys doing here?" I ask with confusion. Don't they have their own house?

"We came to bring you food since we knew you were alone." Brent says.

"Oh okay. How'd you guys know I was hungry?" I say while giggling.

"I had a feeling you were in the mood for sushi" Andrew says with a smile.

"Alright we'll we're gonna head out. Bye Lexi" Brent says as he walks towards the door.

"Bye Lex" Andrew winks at me and walk away.

"Bye" I say while blushing. Did he just wink at me? Oh shit.

I start getting ready for bed while thinking of tomorrow. I'm excited but nervous at the same time. I finally know what to give Andrew. I haven't told anyone because it's gonna be a secret. Our secret.
