Something About You~

• Chapter-7 •

SHE BEGAN to cry harder in his chest and hugged his torso tightly. He watched her crying with a heavy heart. His concern for her was palable, and he felt a deep feeling of sympathy for her.

He hugged her back, tightly and carrased her head for calming her down. He didn't utter a word, but was hearing to her soft sniffs and his heart pounding loudly in his chest.

He carrased her head "Shh... it was just a nightmare... Calm down" he whispered softly like a lullyby.

But she cried her heart out this time almost making his clothing to be wet. He let her cry in his arms for good 5 minutes, because he knew when a person could not hold back there tears, it's okay for them to cry.

It was the moment he realised that he wanted to be always there for her, offering comfort and love.

She finally calmed down and closed her eyes feeling safe in his embrace. She could hear his heartbeat pounding loudly and loudly.

Slowly she pulled back and opened her eyes. Her eyes were red and cheeks were tear stained. They looked innocently at Andrew.

" Are you feeling any better??" Andrew asked feeling hurt seeing her like this. He was looking softly at her finding any sign of discomfort.

She nodded with a sniff. She felt relaxed in his arms. Her heavy heart turned light meeting his soft gaze.

'I love you so much... It hurts seeing you like this..!' Deep inside he thought seeing her in crying state.

" It's a nightmare.. don't think much about it.. and relax .. here" he spoke while filling the glass with water from the jug and offered to her.

She took small sips of water but it was enough to make her more relax. She never thought of Andrew being there to see her cry because she usually hid her tears with a smile.

" Is there something you wanna talk about... " He asked curiously thinking about the dream she had. He knew that she wasn't okay of thinking the nightmare she had.

She remained silent being deep in her thoughts.

Not earning any response he spoke " It's ok.. I... I was just curious... I am not gonna force you.."

She let out a sigh " I am sorry, I woke you up... It's just I was lost somewhere in my dreams.."

"It's completely fine Lavender... no need to be sorry for..." He whispered. He then took her hand and gently rubbed her back of the palm with his thumb. A new warmth spreaded inside her body.

Lavender regained some hope "When I was a child.. my mom and dad loved me the most in this world. They could do anything for me but one thing about them was troubling a lot that time..

At the age of 5, I never knew my parents real identity about what job they do, especially my dad... he would go outside around 2 and come home at midnight with some money....

It wasn't some, it was like really alot of money and the next thing I never understood that why my father always covers his face when he is outside, why he is so secretive of his life... Even our relatives didn't knew about it also..

But one day I was dragged outside a huge building, only to find my dad's dead body getting buried under a coffin.."

Her voice was getting weaker and weaker but he continued to give her strength by squeezing her hand lightly. He gave her the warmth,just by the touch of his hands on her.

She continued " i cried harder that time but at the same time I saw Mr.Jones who was my dad's biggest enemy talking with the police. At that time I figured that my father was the most wanted criminal at that time.
