*Andrea POV*
After about an hour and a half of sitting in my room after the discussion with Beau I got a knock on my door. I hurried to my door and opened it hoping to see Thor but instead Beau was there. I felt my face drop and all my hopes float out the window.
“Can you come to the living room please?” He asked politely. I nodded not knowing how to answer his nice question and followed him into the living room. What I thought was going to be another ‘discussion’ turned out to be a reuniting with Thor.
When I got to the living room I heard him bark and I looked up to see Thor sitting on the couch with Luke and Ariana. I pushed past Beau and met Thor half way, he practically tackled me to the ground but I was happy as ever to be back with my dog. When he finally calmed down I stood up and looked to Beau. Beau was smiling and it was weird to see a smile on his face, but I had to smile back “Thank you.” I said and turned around to Luke “and thank you too.” He gave a small smile then stood up and walked into the kitchen leaving Ariana, Beau, and me. I was about to walk back to my room with Thor when Beau interrupted “Ariana do you mind if I have a moment alone with Andrea?” Ariana nodded her head and went off to the kitchen. I felt a bit uneasy about all of this but he brought Thor back so what was I supposed to do? I turned back towards him and I felt Thor at my side, his fur grazing my leg. “Please, sit down.” Beau said pointing to the couch. I went and sat down and I made Thor sit at my feet but instead he sat on my feet. Go figures.
“So what would you like to talk about?” I asked nervously
“I just wanted to apologize for earlier, I got a bit out of line.” He said nervously.
I was in shock, “It’s okay, I am sorry to. I was just very upset and still a bit am.” I said.
He looked down and I saw his jaw flex and god did it send chills through me. I felt Thor put his head on my knee like he knew how I felt. I smiled down at him and patted his head. I looked back up to see Beau staring at me, “We are going out tonight by the way.”
“What? Where? Why?” I asked trying to gather everything. I was so excited to hear that we were going out that I forgot all I have are the clothes I have on, “And what am I going to where?”
Beau rolled his eyes at all the questions, “Because you want out right? So we are going out. We are going to a restaurant and you will borrow something from Ariana.” He said standing to walk away.
I felt my stomach drop, “But she is so small, and I am so not.” I whispered thinking about how tiny she was compared to me.
I guess he heard me because he stopped and turned towards me, “You really think that?” I looked up at him and I saw pain in his eyes, like he couldn’t believe I thought I wasn’t skinny enough.
“Compared to her I am a giant, Beau. I am not this tiny little thing, I am fat.” I chocked. I felt the tears surface and I prayed they didn’t spill.
“You really think that Andrea? You really think you are this big thing? Well you aren’t. You are be-“ He stopped and looked down, he cleared his throat “You aren’t fat Andrea.” He said and he walked out.
I watched him walk away and as the tears spilled from my eyes I whispered “Yes I am.” I sat there for a couple more minutes looking into the fire and letting the tears fall silently when Thor jumped up by my side and he started whimpering. I dug my head into his fur and started crying and I felt his head set on my shoulder.
I was starting to calm down when Thor let out a growl, I quickly looked behind me to see Nathan standing in the door way of the living room, I whipped my eyes and adjusted myself quickly “What do you want?” I asked.
“Nothing, just wanted to sit in here but I can come back later.” He said and started to walk away.
“Wait, I’ll leave. I have to get ready for a night out anyways.” I said getting up with Thor at my side.
As he was coming into the living room I stopped him “I am sorry Nathan.” I croaked.
He looked like he was just slapped in the face, “No you aren’t Andrea.” He said and walked away. I stood there for a second feeling like crap because deep deep down I’m glad he is suffering because of what he did to me. He saw right through me, yet I didn’t want him to.
I walked back to the room with Thor by my side and when I walked in my room I saw Beau sitting on my bed with a duffle bag next to him. “What’s that?” I asked curiously.
“It’s yours.” He said cooly.
He sat there with his Ralph Lauren Polo and his jeans and his hair a bit messy and he just looked so good, and there was something about him that made me want him so badly. Part of me wanted him, a big part of me wanted to kiss him and hold him and love him.
“Andrea?” He asked snapping me out of this trance I was in.
“It’s mine?” I asked walking over to open it. I saw clothes from home, my favorite sweaters and a few pairs of jeans and tshirts and a few nice shirts and dresses. I felt myself smile to see all my clothes. I pulled out my grey and white patterned sweater I got from Old Navy a year back and I smelled it and it smelled like home. It was amazing.
“When Luke went to get Thor he also got some of your clothes and your jewelry cabinet is over there and your make up is in another bag on the vanity.” He said pointing to where everything was. When I saw all my other stuff I felt joy, like maybe this could work for now. I looked down at him and smiled then I saw my blanket and my pillow behind me and I went and grabbed them up and smelled them. I looked back to Beau, “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome, just want to make you feel wanted.” He said giving me a small smile. He got up and went to the door. Before he left he turned around and said “Dinner is at 7, meet me in the family room at 6:15.” He said and left.
