Kidnapped By Killers

Chapter 31

Violet's POV

The next morning I woke up and saw Andy asleep beside me. I smiled because I liked being in my tiny apartment much better than I liked being in the Spades house. I heard my stomach grumble and I climbed out of bed, careful to not wake him. I went to the kitchen and started making breakfast for both of us.

I enjoyed cooking for Andy and myself. I wondered if I would ever get this kind of normal life with Andy. In our own place, our own kitchen, no other guys lurking around with weapons. I daydreamed about living in a house on the countryside with Andy. I wondered if he even saw a future with me. Did he ever want to move out of the house? What if he didnt? I don't think we would have a future if he didn't.

I felt arms wrap around my waist and I smiled as Andy's lips traced the top of my head. "Goodmorning. I didn't know you could cook." He smirked and I hugged his arms around me.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." I said. He chuckled and kissed my cheek before walking to the kitchen table and sitting down. My previous thoughts lingered in my head. Was this a conversation I wanted to have with him? I served breakfast on the table and sat down next to him. "Do you want coffee?" I asked and he smiled and nodded.

"Yes, thank you." He said and I got him a cup. I sat down and quietly ate as I continued thinking about how our relationship had an expiration date. I did love Andy, and I realized that I probably wouldn't have a future with him. I wanted to get married and have children some day and I didn't see Andy from The Spades as a husband or a father. "Are you okay Vi?" He asked and I forced a smile and nodded.

"Yeah! I'm fine, why do you ask?" I said trying to push the sad thoughts out of my head.

"You're being quiet. What's on your mind?" He asked and I bit my lip and shrugged.

"Nothing to worry about." I wanted him to forget about it. It was too early to be having this conversation.

He reached across the table and grabbed my hand. "Talk to me." He said. I took a deep breath.

"Okay I guess we are doing this" I quietly remarked. He looked at me strangely. "Andy, I don't really want to be having this conversation right now but...do you see a future for us?" I quickly spat out what was on my mind.

"What do you mean?" He asked. I frowned that he couldn't put the pieces together by himself.

"I mean, I know that we haven't been dating for that long but I can't help but think that we aren't going anywhere. I know it might be a little soon to be thinking about a future but-"

"Violet." He interrupted me. "I love you. You should know that by now."

"I do know that Andy. And I love you too. But I think our plans for life and for the future contradict each other."

"How so?" He asked.

"You're in a gang. For the rest of your life you're going to be a Spade. And I don't mind that, I love you guys but I have plans. I want to get married, buy a house and raise a family. And I can't help but think that you're comfortable with living in the Spade's house for the rest of your life. For now I'm fine staying in the house with you, but not forever. I don't want to live like this forever." I said and he stared at me. He didn't say anything and he didn't look away. I sighed and pulled my hand away from him and stared down at my lap. "I guess I'm just scared because I don't know how long we can pretend that this is working." I said quietly. I heard his chair scoot against the floor and I felt tears welling in my eyes at the thought of Andy getting up and walking away from me. This is why I didn't want to have this conversation right now. I knew it would ruin everything good that we had going for us. I felt the tears fall into my lap and I felt two hands wrap around my cheeks and lift my face up. His lips quickly and passionately crashed into mine. I felt my stomach tighten as his lips parted mine. He slowly pulled away and stared at me, leaning back on his knees.

"I love you. I don't plan to stop loving you in the future. I know I'm in a gang, but that's not all of who I am. You should know that by now. The only future I want is one with you in it."

"Andy, I love you too." I said and I kissed him again. All of my previous thoughts got pushed out of my head. He slowly pulled away and stroked my cheek with his thumb.

"Marry me Violet." he said. I swear my heart stopped. This was not why I brought up the conversation. I didn't expect him to want to marry me, or him to even ask me.

"What?!" I asked shocked. I felt like my stomach was in my chest. He smiled at me.

"I want you to marry me. I don't have a ring, but if getting married is what it takes to make you happy, and to convince you that you're all I want, then let's do it!" He said. I smirked and laughed at his ambition.

"Andy! You're crazy! We are not getting married." I laughed harder.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because that's crazy! We haven't been together long enough for that! What would the guys say?" I was practically choking on my words. I was in shock that he just suggested we get married.

"I don't care what they say. I want you to be mine forever."

"I am yours, but it's too soon to get married Andy." I said and he smirked.

"Fine, I will wait until you say yes. But my proposal stands." He said. I grabbed his face and kissed him.

"I love you Andy. I'm sorry I brought this up." I apologized, feeling guilty.

"Don't be sorry. I'm glad you did. If you decide that getting married, moving to the suburbs and starting a family is what you want for us then we can do that. I will do anything for you." He said and I smiled and kissed him again.

"And I appreciate that, but is that what you want?"

"I will always be a Spade. But honestly, all I want is you Sweetheart. I would love to put a rock on your finger to prove to everyone that you're mine." He said smirking. I rolled my eyes.

"So possessive." I shook my head. Andy leaned in to kiss me again but he was stopped by his phone ringing. He grabbed it off the table and answered it angrily.

"What?...Now? I'm busy...Fine." He hung up. He was always so angry when he was on the phone. I frowned that our sweet moment was cut short, but the news from the phone call he received made me frown even more.
