Lise

Great... "What?" He sighed clearly scared. "Andrew what?" "Please don't leave me..." "Make sure it's not that you are having sex with another woman or just seeing one then you'll be just fine." He chuckled. "It's not that." "Then I'm not leaving Andrew." He looked at me in the eye. And he pleaded for me to understand with his look. His eyes welled up with tears. "Andrew... Dont cry..." I pulled him and hugged him. "Tell me what's wrong." He parted away. And stared into my eyes. His hazel eyes shined reflecting the moon light. And I can swear I fell in love with this man. I never thought, I still can't believe it because I would never imagine myself with someone this kind. Not perfect but kind, loving and everything I could ask for. Who would want to be with me I think. But yet here he is, life is queer in every way. "I had a fiancé... I was going to get married a year ago. We were so in love. But she passed away in a hospital bed after been assaulted on her way to her house[...]" Then it hit me, the night that I was walking to my house during the night, he got all stressed and angry. He was just really sacred and worried that it would happen again. He cares about me... "They... they raped her and stuck a knife in her left rib. She died... she lost too much blood. I've been in one other relationship, but I couldn't make it, I couldn't get the image of her out of my mind[...]" He said looking down. I held his hand and he continued. "But I met you... Not in the best way but I did. And I couldn't be happier because you make me happy in every way Lise. Just you being you. You and your imperfections. And for the first time in the longest time I feel free from her, I feel like I can finally live my life. And I want to live it with you. I love you and I'm sorry I took me so long to tell you." I couldn't help but smile. I hugged him around the neck and pulled him closer. I hugged my by the waist tightening his grip around me. I sighed pure love. "I love you Andrew.." I whispered in his ear. "I love you more." He said. I looked at him and a smile took over his lips. He kissed me and I kissed him back. We parted and he held my hand. "Wait!" I pulled him around. "How do I look?" I smiled. "You look beautiful." "Babeee." "Honey you look great, everything is going to be ok. Believe me." "Okk." We walked inside and I immediately spotted a lady standing up and waving. She was smiling, she had light brown hair. Under her shoulder length. She had the same eyes as Andrew. And dressed fancy like. I noticed a cross around her neck. It was really small and silver. I smiled at her. We got to the table. "Hello!" She said hugging Andrew after looking at him worriedly. She must've noticed Andrews red eyes from crying. "Hey sweetie." She said looking at me for a minute. She then hugged me tight. I hugged her back. "You are beautiful" "Awe thanks!" "I love your hair!" I touched my neck length blonde hair and smiled. "Thanks." I said giggling. "Well come on let's sit down." I loved her accent. "Sorry your dads not here, he had to stay in church fixing some things." My eyes winded and I looked at Andrew. "You are pastors?" I asked surprised. "Yes! Didn't Andrew told you?" "No... he didn't." I said looking at him for some kind of answer. "I'm sorry." He said. "Well yeah we have a church close to our house. You are welcomed any time!" "Oh yes I was trying to find a church to go to." "I'm going to the bathroom." Andrew said standing up. "Ok-" i said watching his move until he got in the bathroom. "Is he ok?" I asked. "He- he's probably angry because I told you we have a church." "But why? I'm a Christian. Why would anyone get angry?" "I don't know... He thinks you'll leave him. Bad past experiences I guess." "Ou but-" "I'll talk to him." Veronica said. "No no, I'll go." I said standing up. I walked towards the bathroom and saw him walking out, he turned right and kept walking. I followed. "Andrew?" I saw him. "I'll go in a minute." "Babe... Why would you think I'm leaving because your parents have a church? I love church. You never asked me, how was in you to know?" "I don't know Li, I just don't want to lose you, I can't afford that." I sighed and walked towards him. "Andrew Jisngton.. I'm not leaving... I promise... now come. Your mum is waiting." He turned around and hugged me. I hugged him back. I pulled him by his hand. "And I'm angry because you should be proud of who you are, your religion and you parents. Man up Andrew." "I'm sorry... I will." "Thank you." We walked to the table and sat down. "Hey sweeties." Victoria said. "Well don't worry, I'll meet him later." "Another excuse to meet up with you again aye." I laughed. We asked for our coffees and biscuits. We had a wonderful time together.
