Year 1-Chapter 12

**The Next Day, March 20th Andrew was heading to the studio as he was on the phone with Freddy. He fortunately had the speaker on and was able to do it hands free, As they discussed about the new hero in town** 
Andrew: So what do you think of this new guy in town?
Freddy: He's cool but My dad is like his "Number one fan"
Andrew: How so?
Freddy: Him and one of his associates were and have been on the phone this morning. Talking about he might of been the "riff raff in the green hoodie" from a few nights ago. 
*Oh Shit.. there's a chance, they might of seen my face on the cameras..*
Andrew: "riff raff"? What happened
Freddy: Someone tried to steal info from Dad.. Don't know what but he "theorizes" it might have to do with his missing spider.
Andrew: Hope he doesn't become a hater
Freddy: **Chuckles** You and me Both, Bro 
**As he pulled up to the studio, someone stood there by his parking spot, awaiting for him**
Andrew: Alright, Fred I got to work/my internship. Plus Vanessa is waiting for me
Freddy: Aww, look at you Romeo 
Andrew: Fred! **Chuckles**
Freddy: What? I genuinely am Proud of you , I am Happy for you 
Andrew: Thanks, that~ That means alot.
Freddy: Of course, now go treat her right and good luck on your date.
Andrew: Thanks Freddy, Talk to you later 
**They both said bye and Andrew Hung up. He got out of his car and Vanessa gave him a nice warm hug. Flattered and surprised, Andy took the hug and hugs her back**

Vanessa: I'm sorry.. I just am so excited to see you.. Was that too much? **worried that a hug and physical contact was too early on**
Andrew: No , Not at all **He smiles** I enjoyed that! 
**She smiles back again** 

 Vanessa: I'm Just excited for our date tonight ! 
Andrew: Well I'm glad to hear that 
Vanessa: You know.. I haven't been on a date in some time... alot of guys in the past. Well .. they saw me as one thing and for one thing only... 
**Andrew slowly placed his arm on her back as they walked to her studio room first, rubbing her back,  back and forth** 
Andrew: You don't have to tell me anymore if its uncomfortable for you. Just know that I am here for you, If you need anything. Heck, just as a hypothetical sense, If We don't work out, I Still will be here for you if you ever need it
**It was abit clear that Vanessa was trying to hold back her tears, as her voice was starting to sound soft and abit choked up**
Vanessa: I appreciate that **She hugs him and stops in the middle of the hallway. Andrew hugs her back**
Vanessa: **as she wiped her tears away** You know, I can get to my room from here.. I don't want you late..
Andrew: I insist **With a smile** Lets go. 

**once they reached her room**
Vanessa: Well.. I'll be seeing you later then
Andrew: You know it, I'll come get you around 6:30 for dinner. And the movie **gave a warm welcome smile**
Vanessa: Can I ask you something? 
Andrew: Sure ! 
Vanessa: Can I get another hug? 
Andrew: Of course **as she approached Vanessa and giving her such a warm and soft embrace. 
After that, she went in her room and looked behind her as Andrew stood there and few minutes later, Andy started heading on to his room when suddenly**
Jared: Andrew! 
*Oh no.. I'm going to get the "I'm late and Stephen is probably getting frustrated with me" Speech*
Jared: You Scored a date with that Girl? 
Andrew: **abit surprised for a sec and then acted natural** Yea, why?
Jared: You lucky Dog!.. I can't believe I'm saying this but. Good on you
Andrew: Thanks, Jared.. **the two of them started to head to where they needed to be, as they were walking** Does this mean you have a new found respect for me ?
Jared: Don't push it , Williams 
Andrew: Eh.. It was worth a shot 
*That was a close one, but I do feel bad for Vanessa, whatever she's been through. Whatever is going on in her head, However .. I want to be there for her, make sure she knows she can count on me, if she needs a comforting hug, a shoulder to cry on or even somebody to love her. I mean, whatever happened, I can somewhat understand.. Finding that hope in the world and that special someone can be very, very hard. But I hope it goes well for us because I want to be hers. I hope I can be that special person for her.* 

**Later that day, it was 5:30 pm, Andrew was atleast putting on a nice navy blue button down polo shirt. He got out of the bathroom after a nice shower and combing/brushing his hair**

Aunt Elaine: So.. You nervous ?
Andrew: Uh. Kinda. I'm just trying to remain Calm and confident
Uncle: Thats all you need, Drew. The 2 Cs.. if you throw in a Third C~
Aunt Elaine: Paul?! **gave him a soft jab/tap**
Uncle Paul: What??!? I was telling him not to throw in a third one.. he doesn't need to use the 3rd C until another maybe 3 or 4 years 
Andrew: **feeling abit awkward and or embarrassed** Ookay , Well I'm heading out **As he started to head downstairs, with his Aunt and uncle slowly following**
Aunt Elaine: You got your keys
Andrew: Yup ! 
Uncle Paul: Got that breathe mint? **he teased**
Andrew: Do you? **Andrew teased back** 
**Elaine chuckled**
Aunt Elaine: You deserved that **kept on chuckling** 
Andrew: Well. Wish me luck and I love you Both!
**both he closed the door**
Aunt Elaine: Hey..**Andrew looks back** We love you too
Uncle Paul: And your parents would be happy for you
**Andrew smiles back at them and closed the door, heading out to go pick up Vanessa**

**6:16 pm, Andrew arrives at the Ramirez residence, he rung the doorbell and was greeted by her mother, Eliza Ramirez. Short for Elizabeth, a tiny bit shorter than Andrew but had very dark hair and had red ish maroon glasses**
Andrew: Hello, Mrs. Ramirez, I'm Andrew, Whether Vanessa has told you about me or not **gave a small chuckle**
Eliza: She has **she said with a smirk** But pleasure to meet you **As he gave a handshake to Eliza. Nice, firm and gentlemen like to Vanessa's mom. and out of the corner was Roberto Ramirez, aka Bobby Ramirez** 
Roberto: Hello, Good sir **He gave Andrew an even more firm handshake** Well you got Quite a grip there for your size **He teased a tiny bit**
Andrew: I was going to say the same thing to you **he chuckled** Is your daughter ready? 
*You have no idea how GOOD my "grip" is, Sir*
**And not a moment too soon, Vanessa came out of her room, wearing a pink and yellow floral top. If you look closely , there are some roses and sunflowers in the patterns. She approached Andrew with a smile**
Andrew: Wow! you look great! 
Vanessa: Thank You! **she looks over at Andrew's car and back at him** You ready? 
**He nods and they got in the car and he began to drive and as they were driving, cruising down the road, heading to dinner first**
Vanessa: Can I be honest?
Andrew: Of course! I don't see why not
Vanessa: I didn't want you meeting my fokes tonight, But they insisted on doing so..
Andrew: What's wrong with that?
Vanessa: I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable and feel like everything is all rushed. Like its moving too fast..
Andrew: I think its fine. Maybe after a few dates, I can have a proper introduction 
Vanessa: I'd like that! 
**Once they arrived at dinner, it was a nice sit down restaurant, Andrew made a reservation for. It had a comfortable seating fortunately for them. As they laughed and smiled and even sharing some personal stuff too, to open new doors and walls and windows.** 

Vanessa: Mind if I ask, Andrew?
Andrew: Vanessa, Sweetie.. you don't need to keep asking if I mind **Vanessa tried to hold back her blushing after he said "Sweetie"** I don't mind you asking me anything. I am a open book for you. 
Vanessa: Okay. You talk alot about your aunt and uncle ..Did something happen to your parents?
Andrew: **he took a small pause** They were actors.. hence my love for movies and wanting to be in the business. They were heading to work, my aunt and uncle babysat me as usual. I had just turned 4 and After entire day gone by, They didn't come back.. They were in an accident while on set shooting something. I found out later on

Vanessa: I'm so sorry **she placed her hand on top of his** Do you or your parents or your Aunt and uncle know what was or caused the accident?

Andrew: **Placed his second on top of her hand, his left hand was on the bottom, then Vanessa's right, Then Andrew's right and he shook his head no** No one found any REAL trace or footage of what caused it.. And no one from the set, like the rest of the cast and or crew haven't come forward on who was there that day and night.. Just the news reporting it. " Mr. and Mrs. Williams found dead on set, No remains found of their bodies but more on this story.." 

Vanessa: You can stop.. If you want and~ I'm sorry I made this touchy
Andrew: **shook his head no** Its fine, Vanessa. Not many have asked but Um.. I'm glad you wanted to know and .. They were the best parents I could of asked for. **Said with a brave smile** I had alot of memories of them for a 3 year old/4 year old at the time. My mom, teaching me how to draw and people make mistakes. While Dad made me laugh and told me to have fun. Even when the world is and or was Doom and Gloom. 
**The check came by and Andrew picked it up**
Vanessa: Are you sure you ok to do it ? 
Andrew: **Nodded yes with confidence** Yea! I want to take care of this, No problem
Vanessa: Ok, but let me handle the movie 
Andrew: Nope, I got that too 
Vanessa: **smirks** That's not fair.. What if I wanted to pay for the movie 
Andrew: **smirks back** Well too bad
Vanessa: **she gave a face that look annoyed at Andrew but she actually wasn't mad at him**
Andrew: Are you actually or **chuckles** this is something else that I need to be aware of
*I honestly can't tell right now, because I noticed she did one time this same thing but she actually wasn't angry. Hopefully this helps ease tension maybe* 
Vanessa: **Rolls her eyes and smirks abit** No. I'm not actually Mad. **She smiles** But, I'm paying for the movie. No Ifs ands Or buts **she widened her smile more, appearing more innocent and irresistible** 
**Andrew chuckles**
*She has me there, but I guess that is how you play chess not checkers* 

**They arrived to the movie theater, as they were going to see Sing 2, Vanessa courteously paid for the movie and snacks, they got One medium popcorn, Andrew also junior mints and Vanessa got gummy bears. She got a coke and he got a lemonade. After they got to their seats plus 10-15 minutes of previews, once the movie began to start. Andrew reached over, putting his hand over her hand and held it gently. She smiled at him for doing so**
Vanessa: You Really like holding me, don't you?
Andrew: I like feeling your touch, and I want you to feel like I'm affectionate to you in every way, Physically , verbal and emotionally.. If that is ok?
Vanessa: I~ I don't mind. Its different, But It feels good 
**Andrew smiles, kissed her hand and then they both faced the movie**
**After the movie, it was a nice drive dropping off Vanessa, the air was soft and flowing. As even though it was quiet, it was still filled with thoughts of love**
*I really felt this was one of the BEST times for me. I mean.. Look at her, the way she sits, looking at me with such a sweet and delicate smile. Eyes that shine brighter than stars, hair so luscious, and what a personality too. The BEST quality, someone that's very sweet and gentle but also kinda dorky and silly, Its cute! I feel such a strong connection with her, that both words can and can't describe.*
**once they arrived , it was close to 9:30 closer to 10 pm**
Andrew: Thank you again, Vanessa! 
Vanessa: No.. Thank you **said with a smile**
*And there's that smile again, I can't resist it* 
Vanessa: For such a wonderful evening.. I know, that I may seem like it but I'm not great with .. "expressing" or haven't been for some. Time but you bring that out of me, so Thank You, Again, 
**She unbuckled, got out of the car, went to window and gave him a kiss. This time on the lips, it was not too long but not too short. a "just right" in the middle ground type of kiss. Sweet and tender**
Vanessa: Be careful getting home
Andrew: I love you! 
**He blushed**
*I know I meant to say that but not out loud.. hope its not rushing*
Vanessa: **gave a slight giggle** I love you too **as she walked away and headed inside**
*Phew! Thank God! Also Thank God she said it back!*
**Andrew started the car and drove off**
