The Redemption(A Laurent LT Tale)Prequel

Chapter 6:The Call

Andréa’s mind was racing and it seemed harder for her to focus ever since the other day. Those feelings have returned again; the feelings of being watched. She just had this strange feeling Laurent was somewhere watching her, for how could he have known where she worked if she hasn’t talk to him in over a year?

Andréa let Kyra run the shop today while she stayed locked in her office. Nyala stayed home for the day and Andréa just threw her hands up with that one. She told herself to keep from killing the girl she’d just let her do whatever she wanted to on this trip; she’ll be gone eventually. Andréa stayed locked in her office almost the entire day zoned out.

When a knock descended upon her door it startled her. The door opened and it was Kyra with a smile that looked promising but truthfully she was worried about her baby sister. Andréa exhaled, “What’s up KY? How’s everything going out there?”

“Fantastic! But I’m actually on lunch break right about now and only got 30 minutes”

Andréa nodded, “Okay…”

Kyra rolled her eyes “C’mon you’re going with me and I’m not taking no for an answer. We can go to that restaurant down the block, only 2 minutes away”

Kyra was practically pleading Andréa to go with her. Andréa knew this as well, so she sucked it up and decided not to fight with her sister. “Alright I’ll go but only because I heard they have good appetizers” she stated with her finger pointed. Smiling Kyra dragged Andréa off her feet, out her chair, waited for her to grab her purse and they left.

Andréa was happy she went with Kyra; the air was refreshing, the service was gentle and her mind actually began to relax once she stopped thinking about him for longer than a second. While they waited for their food to arrive Kyra decided to maybe help Andréa let some of that steam off her chest she’s been holding in; also to ask her why she was so quick to go form marrying one brother to the other.

“So sis, how was your wedding day?” Andréa looked at her sister as the wind caressed her red curly hair that was all over her head, “It was peaceful. It was in Hawaii and the day was perfect, no mistakes”

“So are you happy with this one?”

Too bad for Kyra Andréa could read minds and she read hers from a mile away. She knew Kyra was trying to get her to tell how in the hell did she wind up with Larry when the last time she checked she was with Laurent. Kyra wasn’t stupid and neither was Andréa.

Andréa took a sip of her wine before answering, “I’m living with this one. I can’t say I would’ve had that much of a choice with the other one”

When Andréa said that a baffle of laughs came from the table across from her; there at the table were 3 women, who seemed as if they were laughing at something and that something was Andréa. Her face began to heat up with tension and she didn’t know why. She wasn’t angry but she felt her face began to flush.

Soon her phone ranged and it was the house, she answered on the 3rd ring. “Yes Shaun what is it?”

“Someone wants to speak with you”

His voice didn’t sound so sure; as if he were in a rush. “Okay who is it?” Andréa asked back. Instead of answering her he told her to hold on while he clicked on the other line. When it clicked she heard his line hang up than there was a short silence.

“Hello?” Andréa asked becoming impatient.

"Bonsoir mon amour" 

Andréa had to steady herself and stop from panicking because she was in front of Kyra and the girl was already suspicious enough. She swallowed hard and took a deep breath letting him know she was back on the phone; but she didn’t say a word, he just heard her heavy breathing.
