Andrew chooses an Italian restaurant for dinner. He tells me I can dress causal so I just throw on black jeans, a black blouse with tiny white polka-dots and some black heals. Of course I layer on my jewelry and I leave my hair down in natural waves. Andrew looks handsome as always in dark jeans, a white t-shirt, a dark brown worn leather jacket and tan boots.
The only ones who could join us are Noah and Kate and Leo and Emma. His best friend, my best friend and their wives, it's perfect. When Andrew and I arrive everyone else is already there. We all hug and say our hellos then we sit down and order our drinks. While we look over the menu the questions poor in. Kate asks first.
"So Drew and Abigal, how are things?"
Andrew answers before I can.
"Well Kate, I dont know what things you are referring to but I myself am doing very well. Thank you for asking."
I laugh into my menu.
"Don't be a smart ass Andrew. You know I meant how are things between the two of you."
Andrew glances at me and I smile at him letting him know it's okay to tell them whatever he wants to.
"Things are going very well between us."
He reaches over and squeezes my thigh.
Emma chimes in. "That's all your going to give us? Are you guys officially an item?"
Andrew stays quiet and let's me answer this one.
"We've decided to take things slow. I'm leaving tomorrow and I'll be gone for three weeks and then I have another trip planned shortly after that. So slow is kind of the only option. But we plan to stay in touch while I'm gone."
"That's good. Don't put to much pressure on yourselves , just have fun and see where it goes." Leo smiles at me before he takes a sip of his drink.
"Exactly." I smile back.
We all order our food and then Noah and Andrew start talking quietly amongst themselves. I can see Andrew tense up and Noah looks concerned. When their done and Andrew sits back in his chair I lean over and whisper in his ear.
"Everything okay?"
He takes a sip of his drink and then turns to me. Our lips are very close as he speaks.
"Everything's fine. Or it will be when I get you back home and naked again." He gives me a light kiss on my lips before turning back to the table.
Okay so he obviously doesn't want to talk about it. I'll ask him about it later.
Noah looks my way. "So Abigal, Andrew tells us you have a degree in psychology on top of being an amazing photographer."
"Yes I do. I plan on going back to school to get my masters degree. I figure some day I'll want to put down roots and stop traveling so much. And psychology is something that has always interested me. I would love to go into counseling and helping others."
"Oh my god!" Emma practically yells it as she grabs Leo's arm and almost makes him spill his drink.
"Jesus christ woman. What the hell was that about?" Leo sets his glass down before it ends up in his lap.
"Abigail should definitely move here and you can hire her to be a counselor at Cassie's Hope."
Leo gets a big smile on his face. "That's actually a brilliant idea." He kisses Emma on the lips with a big dramatic smack of the lips. "My wife is brilliant." He turns to look at me. "What do you think?"
