Runaway Lover // Andy Leo

Chapter Seventeen

I stir, the daylight streaming in through the windows waking me. I feel Andy's arms around my waist and smile to myself before slowly climbing out of bed. I grab some new clothes and run quickly into the bathroom to change.

I cringe as I see two hickeys on my neck that aren't covered by my tank top and take my hair out from it's ponytail in an attempt to hide the marks.

"Sam?" I hear Andy call out, and quickly unlock the door to the bathroom.

"In here!" I call back as I frantically try to smooth my hair down. I hear the door open behind me and see Andy, in only a pair of boxer shorts, walk in through the mirror. I turn around and kiss his cheek before squeezing past him to get into the bedroom.

"Where you going?" He stands in the doorway confusedly.

"Down to get some breakfast. I'll save you a seat." I walk up to him and kiss him, earning me a smile. "I'll see you when you're down, okay?" He nods and retreats into the bathroom.

I walk into the canteen and see everyone sat at the same table, which I go and join. I sit in between Benn and Hayden, stealing a slice of fruit from the latter's plate.

"Our savior!" Dave says jokingly as he pretends to bow down to me.

"Who seemed to be absent the entirety of yesterday." Megan cuts Dave off and gives me what I presume to be, knowing her, a suggestive look. She sits on Brandon's lap, looking much better than she did the last time I saw her - her black eye had almost all but faded, and she was (apparently) back to her usual personality.

"I was upstairs with Andy." I cross my legs and take another piece of fruit from Hayden, who glares at me disapprovingly.

"Go get your own." He pouts and moves his plate to his other side, out of my reach.

"Thanks!" Andy appears behind Hayden and takes some of his food for himself before giving me a quick kiss on the cheek and dragging a chair over from another table, seating himself between Hayden and I.

"Hey! That's just bullying." Hayden hits Andy on the shoulder playfully, who winks back at him.

"Careful, Andy. Sam might get jealous." Megan says, grinning at me. I pretend to look disgusted, making everyone laugh. Andy slings his arm around my shoulders and pulls me into him.

"I'll just have to make sure that doesn't happen then, won't I?" He kisses my head, and I feel my cheeks turn a shade of red.

"Andy..." I groan, attempting to release myself from his grip.

"Jesus, and I thought we were bad." I hear Brandon and Megan joke about us as I pry at Andy's arm.

"We're much cuter. You know that." Andy grins up at them, and I take the opportunity to remove his arm from me. He takes a second to turn around and pout at me, which I return mockingly.

"Yup. So adorable." She says sarcastically, earning her a glare from both Andy and I.

"Would you guys shut up? I can't eat with all of you being cutesy." Benn complains, pretending to push his plate away in disgust.

"Oh I'm sorry princess. I'll leave if that'll make you feel better?" I stand up and push his plate back toward him. "But it'll cost you." He looks up confusedly and I steal the last scrap of food from his plate. "I'll see you guys later." I wave to them, shoving the food in my mouth as I make eye contact with Benn, and make my way over to where I can see Ashley hitting a punching bag.
