Loving Her (Book 2/2)(RE-WRITING)

Chapter 12 Andy

"You," I didn't know what to say.

"I stopped because I hoped for the day you'd walk through the door and make me feel alive again. Like you'd make me feel in love again." I couldn't speak. I didn't know what to say. She stopped because of me yet she was going to because of me. I watched her grab something out of her pocket.

"Can you put this on please?" I took notice of the dolphin necklace I had given her.

"A-are you sure?" I stuttered, knowing that I told her to wear it when she forgives me.

"Yes, I want to move on with you," I smiled softly. I tucked her hair to the side and put the necklace on. I couldn't help but to stare at her. She was gorgeous. She was breathtaking. I looked in her eyes. They were red and showed so much emotion in them. My heart was still racing. I just don't want to fuck this up again.

"I forgive you Andy," she whispered.

"But Danni-" she pressed her lips against mine. I kissed her back, feeling the passion and love she had for me. I kissed her back with the same emotion and feeling. Her hands found my cheeks as she moved us so she was on top of me, kissing me passionately. I didn't want this to go any further. Not because I wasn't ready but because I want to take it slow. I want to prove to Danni that I love her with every inch of my being. We both slowly pulled away. Our breathing was heavy. Her eyes were full of lust.

"I've been wanting to do that since I saw you when I came back,"

"I can tell," she smiled, resting her head on my chest. She still laid on top of me. I let my hands run up and down her back, my fingers softly tapping.

"Did I ever tell you about Erica?"

"You mentioned her,"

"I found out how she died today," I looked down at her. Her eyes met mine.

"My mum strangled and abused her to death," she choked the tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry,"

"She died in pain Andy. I never knew how she died or if she was in pain for nearly six years,"

"I'm sorry Danni," I whispered.

"I just wish that she wasn't in pain," I nodded, and kissed her forehead.

"I just wish I could turn back time. I lost her because I told her about my mum and I nearly lost you too,"

"But you didn't," I reassured her.

"You died Andy. You were literally dead,"

"And I'm sorry I put you through what I did,"

"It's okay, at least I have you now," I smiled and let my lips find hers again. The kiss was soft and sensual.

"Please don't leave me again," she whispered. I wiped the tears from her cheeks.

"I promise with all of my heart,"

"So you and your lover girl are okay?" Yvette asked, sanding a new piece of wood.

"Getting there,"

"At least you guys are talking again,"

"There's still so much tension though,"

"And there will be for a while Andy. Give yourself some credit. You're pretty lucky for her to come back into your life after you left without a goodbye,"

"I know. I don't deserve her,"

"In all honestly you really don't,"

"Wow thanks for the ego boost," I mumbled, slipping my goggles on.

"Just don't hurt her again alright? After finding out what she was going to do, it's kinda scary,"

"Yeah," I still couldn't see past the fact that she stopped for me. I was the reason she wanted too. It was just so jumbled in my head.

"Are you going to ask her out?"

"Maybe, I was thinking of singing her a song at graduation,"

"Wow, that's a big step,"

"I know but I want to get it right this time. I didn't die and come back to fuck things up again,"

"Yeah true, I'll make sure I'm in the front row,"

"Alright,"

"So Narla and I are going really well,"

"That's great man,"

"I uh I think I love her," I looked up at her from sanding.

"You're face tells me otherwise,"

"I'm just scared Andy! What happens if it's too soon or she doesn't feel the same way,"

"Have you seen the way she eye rapes you every time she sees you? Or the face that she's so attached and in love with you?"

"How'd you know you loved Danni?" I took a deep breath.

"Because I would do anything and everything for her. I wanted to be with her and experience life with her. I guess I saw a world of black and white until I saw her,"

"That is disgustingly romantic of you," I couldn't help but to laugh at her.

"I think I do love her,"

"Then tell her,"

"You're right," she smiled, taking her glasses off and putting the sanding paper down.

"Where are you going?"

"To tell Narla I love her,"

"I didn't mean right this second!" I laughed.

"Tough luck," she smirked, running out of the room.

"Seriously Yvette!" I called. There were twenty tables that we had to sand and she left me here to do them on my own.

"My daughters got her heart taken hasn't she?" Yvettes Dad laughed, walking into the room.

"She's defiantly whipped,"

"You teens and your slang," he chuckled, starting to help me sand.

"You don't have to help me,"

"Well I'd like to,"

"Alright," I laughed, getting back to work.

"How's the shoulder?"

"Good, I'll be able to do more heavy work in a couple weeks,"

"Good because I want you to work alongside me and really promote your designs,"

"Really?"

"Yes, you have an eye for design Andy,"

"Thanks," I smirked.

"Oh and if you slack off, I'll cut your pay,"

"Alright alright I won't slack," I laughed, holding my hands up.

"I'll take your word for it," he chuckled.
