“Andrew! I was looking for you! I have to tell you some—”
“No I have to tell you something!” she sees the frustration in his eyes.
“Andrew is everything alright?” she places a hand on his shoulder.
“You can tell me you know.” she smiles at him.
He hesitates.
“Andrew what happened?”
He pins her to the wall. He cages her with his hands. Ashley looks at him in surprise.
He pushes himself back and runs a hand through his hair. He is clearly frustrated.
She just stood there. Her feet didn't move. It was like her body was stuck to the wall.
“Andrew?..” she whispers.
He looks at her.
She then sees it in his eyes.
She suddenly runs to hug him. He hugs her back, tighter.
*I never want to let you go.* she smiled at her thought.
“I'm sorry I acted like that Ash. I tried. I really did. I wanted to be happy for you. If you get married to Keith, he will be able to provide for you as a husband. But I couldn't see you with him any longer. Not anymore.” he takes her hand in his and stares her in the eye.
“I love you Ashley.”
These were the words she wanted to hear. For a long time. She had dreamed of it. But not even in her dreams she had felt so happy. She smiled at him.
“I love you too Andrew.”
His eyes widen in shock.
“Are you serious?!”
“Are you kidding me! I've been waiting to hear this for years! Of course I love you Andrew!”
“So you don't love Keith?”
“No! He's my best friend!”
He sighs in relief and hugs her, the silence comforting.
“What do we do Andrew?”
“I've been thinking about it too.”
“I don't want to marry Keith Andrew. He loves Bea and I love you!” she says, her head pressed against his chest.
“Calm down love, we will make it right. We will have to talk with Keith. Only he can do something.”
She reaches up and pecks his lips.
“I have to tell you something.” she smiles at him.
“What is it?”
“Bea woke up!”
“What?! You are serious?”
“Yes!”
“Lets go and see her today!”
“Yea.”
Hand-in-hand, they both walk out, happy they found each other.
__________
In the evening, Havana peeks through the door. She sees Keith, fast asleep on Bea's lap. Bea was playing with his hair and reading a book.
“Hey.” she comes in, carrying a bowl of soup.
Bea looks up and smiles.
“When did he sleep?”
“I don't know. It has been a long time. He has been tired.”
“Yes he is. Here, I got soup for you.”
