Life as it is

Really?

(A/N:Just a fill in, you don't HAVE to read, but it'll probs make sense more if you do)

Q's POV

When we finished our group hug, Mia, Joe, Sal, Murr, and Milana all went upstairs. Andrea said she was sleeping here tonight, so I left her and went to the kitchen to grab a beer, little did I know that she was following me.
"What were you thinking?" She looked, mad? "What do you mean?" I asked her. Andrea rolled her eyes, "You told Mia that you were gonna adopt her, how can you say that if you don't know if that's true?" Oh fuck. I did say that, but I don't know if I can still do that. Anxiety is rushing to me. What if I can't do this? Oh my god I can't do this. I'm such a failure.
"No your not." Andrea spoke up while also grabbing a beer. "You're not a failure, you are actually a great guy, damn hot too. Ha. I just think you need some guidance. You know?" Oh, I had not realized that I was speaking out loud. Did she say I was hot?

"Aw thanks, do you mind if you could give me some tips for taking care of kids? You must know how to take care of them, do you have any?" 

She gave a shy full smile, almost as if she saw of it as a way of flirting. "No I don't have kids, I'm single. And I'd love to give you some tips, you tired yet? If not we can talk more."

"Sure." I glad fully said.
And so we talked while sitting on the table, not just about parenting, but also about life, ourselves, interests, and dreams. I found out that she liked comics, animals, Jurassic park, food, and  is hoping to find love.
Towards 3am, we had known everything about each other. I also learned that whenever she had talked, butterflies went in my stomach. Did I love her? No, I just met her, that's fucking nonsense. But something about her made me happy.

"Brian? You okay?" Andrea gave a worried stare.

"Yeah I am. You seem tired, so let's sleep. You take the couch, and I'll get the floor." I said at the same time she yawned. Even though Andrea had not drank a lot to make her drunk, he was very tired, and so was I. So I got up from my chair, feeling a little dizzy, and picked her up to carry her to the couch. She's so warm, I thought.
I laid her on the couch and went to the closet to grab some extra blankets for her and I. Careful to not want to bother her, I gently put the blankets in her, then put some on the floor for me as well. But as I sat, she looked at me and said, "There's enough room up here Bri, it's fine. Come on, the floor ain't that nice."

So I did, putting the couch into a position where we could go side by side and not be smushed. The blankets were wrapped around each other, about as close as we were. Andrea smelled nice.

"Brian? Can I tell you something?" Andrea quietly spoke.

"Of course Andi."

"I promised myself this ever since my old ex boyfriend broke up with me 3 years ago, but  I am falling in love with you. And what's the most scary is what's going to come out of this. I think I love you Brian." She seriously said while looking deeply into my eyes.

I put my head on top of hers, wrapped my arms around her, sighed, and said, "Me too Andrea, me too."
