Two days had pass since Andy told the team she was coming back tomorrow to work. She wasn't fully ready but with the help of Robert she would get through it they were really close , the kind of friends that comes to your house midnight because U don't feel okay . It was really late and Andy wasn't feeling that well she would go back to work tomorrow she decided to give Robert a call but she hung up just before he could answer instead of texting her he showed up at her house « who is it? » « it's Robert » « oh hi what are you doing here this late » « just figured I'd check in what were U doing » « going thru Lucas stuff U can come in » . Emilia woke up during them looking over at Lucas and Andy's picture which made Emilia think she was getting rid of her father stuff but she promised that she wasn't « U both look cute on that, never thought I'd say that about my bestfriend but » « where? » he showed her the picture « when was it? » « it was our last date the week before the accident » « do U want to tell me about it? »
Their last date
It was a Tuesday night both of them were off duty. He decided to bring her to a fancy restaurant next to the beach he had made a reservation for them to be on the patio , they had full visibility on the beach « this is beautiful honey » she said to her as soon as they sat sat down « not as much as you » . They ordered wine and their plates. For a fancy restaurant the food was really fancy Andy was wearing a long tight white dress and he was wearing a black suit. « Do U think we could skip dessert and go on the beach see the sunset? » « id do anything for U my love » they ate and had the best time of their lives, the food was delicious the ambiance everything. They took of their shoes and walked down the beach both in each other's arms « are U cold babe? » he asked her in a sweet tone « just a little » « here » he put the blazer on her shoulder and hold her tighter. « That was a really beautiful date love » « U think so? » « honey .. everything U do for me is perfect and this is beautiful I love it really » he just kissed her and lift her up « put me down right now Lucas ripley or you'll sleep on the couch » « oh really what about we go into water » « no lucas put me down right now » « no honey no » he ran toward the water with Andy trying to get down « I swear if U drop me U sleep on the couch » « thought I was already sleeping there » he turned her around so she can face him « U are a very very beautiful women » « you are a very very handsome man » they kissed and he gently let her down on her feet she forgot they were still in the water « Lucas ripley you're sleeping on the couch for tonight » she said he started running so she ran after him « stop love running after me I'm gonna win » « I wouldn't think so » they started splashing water at each other but he finally got her he lifted her up her back pressing against his chest they got out the water and both undress to dry and change into their spare clothes that are packed in their car « lets go home » she said winking at him. When home he got himself ready for bed and her too him on the sofa and her in their bed but she gave up she walked downstairs with a pillow and layed down next to him « hello my beautiful wife I see that U were missing your husband pretty much » « yes I missed my husband I love U » « I love you to sweetheart » and they went to bed
Now
« Yeah that's it , so that women at the restaurant took the picture » « it's a beautiful story » (she basically just told him what they did not everything in detail just general). « Hey can I ask U a favour? » he asked « yeah? » « do U mind sleeping here tonight, I mean only if U want too , U don't have too, it's just gonna be weird and.. » she got cut when he kissed her head gently « of course ill stay andrea where do U want me to sleep? » « can U just sleep with me? » « yeah » he was hesitant but he still said yes they got ready to bed « hey is it okay if I sleep shirtless? » « yeah of course I've already seen it anyway » he shyly laughed , Andy started to panic are palms were getting sweaty her breath was getting faster and heavier « Andrea wake up, Andy wake up » she felt herself shake « Andy please wake up it's just a bad dream andrea » she immediately raised up and sat up in her bed she was breathless the only thing he could do was to hold her and rub her back and her arm « hey andrea look at me, U are safe everything is okay U are fine , everything is okay breathe take deep breath » « thank U, this is why I wanted you to stay tonight » « U knew it would happen? » « yeah hum every time I went back to work I had these flashbacks of what Luke told me before he died and when I sent him in it just haunts me I didn't wanted to be alone » « hey it's okay breathe andrea breathe » he held her until her breath steadied and fell asleep in her arm
« Morning gorgeous » he said when he felt her move in his arms the truth was he never went to bed her warmth and her presence was all he needed he just couldn't let her go « morning » she said I'm a groggy voice « what do U want to do now before work? » « hum well I'll wake up my daughter tell her U came in this morning I don't want it to be weird she young but » « it's okay I understand » « than I'll shower and we can go In » « yeah I have to shower too » « well what about U go shower while I wake her up » he just nodded and went in Andy ajd forgotten he was there so she bursted into the bathroom to find Robert adjusting his towel around his waist « oh sorry I forgot U were here I didn't see anything » truly she did but she didn't want to say anything « andrea it's fine, go shower I'll join your daughter soon » « thank you »
When they got to work she pushed him into her office and closed the blinds and the door « I like the way U come in here » « I just don't think I'm ready to go in right now » she leaned her back against her desk facing Robert who sat on the chair he went in and took her hand in his « Andy They miss U for sure you miss them it's okay everything is gonna be okay trust me » « I trust U » she said rubbing the back of his hands « what do U need before we go see them » « I could use.. » he cut her off by hugging her « how did U know this is what I wanted? » « because I know you andrea » the way he rolled the last letter of her names gave her chills but then the doors bursted open..meanwhile
« Where is she , where is she? » maya said almost jumping everywhere in the Beanery « who? » dean asked innocently « Andy she's coming back today guys we've been excited for two days and no one seen her yet » « she's probably in her office or something but maybe give her... » Vic said but maya was already running down the stairs she bursted into Andy's office
