Andrea's POV
I was holding my head, my heart hurts. I slowly get up and suddenly I look around and I think I'm in a motel. I slightly massage my head when suddenly enter the room.
"you're awake, finally" I was startled when I saw Dreb standing in front of me. He's carrying a tray with foods. I just stunned and can't moved because he was looking at me.
"are you okay?" he asked me caused me to back with myself.
"yes, I'm fine but what happened last nigh-"
"nothing happened" he answer even if I didn't finished my sentence. I just close my eyes and feel embarrassed right now.
"here, eat this and I'll gotta go" I just nodded and take the tray. He left and I was left shocked. What really happened last night? I remember I was with Kevin, but why I was with Dreb right now?
I took my phone and call Kevin. "Kevin! What happened last night?" I shouted as he answer the phone.
"easy Andrea, I just call brother Dreb because you really want to see him. You even shouted at the bar with his name" I was shocked about that. What did you do Andrea. You really embarrassed yourself.
I didn't say a thing and hung up. I was holding my chin while thinking what happened in the bar. I can't even remember. I started to eat my breakfast and get out the motel when I finished.
I get a taxi and went home, I was on my way home when I saw Lenna on the road. I saw her carrying a ag f grocery. She was having a hard time there.
"stop" I said o te driver and tell him to wait for me. I walked towards Lenna and gave her a hand. She look at me with a smile.
"thank you"
"I will take you home, come" we went together to the taxi.
"thank you for taking me home" I just nodded and say goodbye. I can't be here for long, Dreb might saw me and I can't let that happen. The driver drive towards my house. I pay him and I was standing here outside the house. I rang the doorbell and Kevin opened it. I was so annoyed by him, after he opened the gate, I suddenly grabbed his ears and pulled it.
"ouch!" he shouted when he feel the pain.
"why did you leave me with him?" I asked him with an angry face. He just look at me and smiled. He's really annoying right now.
I just roll my eyes and get inside. "hey!" I look back at him and he just made a serious look.
"I just want to make you happy Andrea. And I'm sorry" he said and I continue to walked towards my room. I don't know how should I react, can I be happy? Or be mad at him? I just shook my head and lay on my bed. I was looking at the ceiling and took a deep breath before I slowly closed my eyes.
Someone's knocking the door and cause me to wake up. I annoyly get up and opened it. My eyes widened as I saw Dad.
"dad?" I hug him tight and a tear fell off my eyes. He pat my back and I feel really comfortable and safe with his arms.
"dad I really miss you" I can't hold my tears and I'm really crying out loud. I was still hugging him tight. When he let go of the hug. He look at me and smiled.
"just choose your happiness Andrea, don't anyone or anything stop you. Just make your memories with the most important person in your life. Dad will always watching over you and Kevin. Just live your happy a happy one. Okay?" I just nodded and hug him again.
" I love you dad"
"I love you too" after that he was gone. I look around but I can't see him. "dad!" I shouted and went down. I knelt my knee and started to cry. This time I can see him but he leave me again.
"Andrea?" someone shake me gently and I slowly opened my eyes. I saw Kevin and he just stare at me. "what happened?"
"dad is here. I saw him" a tear fell off and Kevin lean towards me and hug me. "dad is dead Andrea, he must worried about you so that you saw him"
"i missed him" he tap my back, and just hug me. After all I have Kevin, he's my strength right now and the reason why I keep fighting.
It was already dinner time, Kevin is now preparing food for us. I don't even remember he cooks but right now he's cooking for me. I was haply to see him like this. He's now grown up and I think he had a very bright future ahead of him.
I was looking at him, he look at me and smile at me. He really change, he changed a lot. He's personalith and attitude in the last is not I'm seeing right now. He's really a different man right now.
"dinner is ready" I walked towards the dinning and sit. I started to look at the food he cook and its not really bad. It looks so delicious I started to taste it and it was really delicious.
"this is delicious, how did you know to cook?" I asked him and he just smirked.
"I was a cookery student Andrea, you didn't know about it right? I didn't tell anyone in the family, because mom want me to be a doctor. I just hid it until I became a top student in the cookery class" I was shocked to hear about that. He's hiding it to us all this time because he didn't want to disappoint mom. But mom disappointed him.
"that's okay, I'm still here and you will go to a culinary school."he look at me and I can see the happiness in his eyes.
" thank you Andrea"he suddenly stand and went to me. He hug me and a tear fell off his eyes. I was touched he appreciate it. I was happy to help him to pursue his dreams.
We continue to eat until we finished. He wash the dishes and I went to my room to find some school for him. I was on my laptop and searched some school for him to enroll.
"Le cordon Bleu Ottawa Canada.? World class culinary school?" I said while reading it. I was looking at the information and this is a nice school for Kevin. I want to surprise him, I message the school and enroll Kevin.
It's already 10 pm and I lay on my bed. Everything is settled for Kevin, I will get his passport tomorrow and he will be studying in the culinary school he wanted.
I was smiling when I lay on my bed. I was happy and I think this will be the best gift I would give to him.
Ringg!
I turn off the alarm and it's 5:30 am already. I get up in bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. I was about to go to the kitchen when I saw Dreb in the living room with Kevin. They're talking and I want to listen but I can't do that. I took a deep breath and walked towards them. I was biting my lower lip when I look at them.
"why are you here?" I asked Dreb directly and look away after it.
"i just want to talk to you" I was about to jump when I hear him say that. What he want to talk about?
"I will cook the breakfast Andrea, you two can talk in the garden" Kevin left us in the living and went to the kitchen.
Dreb was looking at me and I started to walked towards the garden. It's a sunny day and the weather is so nice. I think this day is a great day, I sat on the bench here in the garden.
"what do you want to talk about?" I asked seriously but he just smiled at me.
"what?"
"I know you still love me" I was surprised and I can't even talk. I just look down and I can hear my heart is pounding.
"I don't think so Dreb, or should I say Mr. Mendoza" I said with a bossy tone. He walked towards me and hug me, I was surprised and I can't even move beacause the hug was too tight.
"let go of me" he let go and get back on the bench.
"let's start again Andrea" I was looking at him and I wanted to say yes but I'm thinking about Lenna. I can't let anyone hurt because of my happiness. I can't even imagine how I would be sleeping if knowing I have hurt a person's feelings.
"I can't"
"why you can't? You said you still love me and you miss me. You said it last night"
"I was drunk, that doesn't mean anything to me"
"you really think I believe in that? I don't believe you, I can see in your eyes you still love me" I looked away, I want to cry but I'm holding my tears back.
I smiled at look at him, I was folding my fist and started to speak. "you really think I still love you? Stop assuming Mr. Mendoza. You have Lenna now, why are you flirting with me" he seriously look at me and lean towards me. His face went closer with mine. I was looking at him but I looked back when I feel awkward.
"you see, you can't look at me in the eyes"
"stop!"
"what about Lenna huh? Are you gonna hurt her because of me? Or you're planning to live with me and Lenna? Is that what you're planning?" I was too angry and asked him such questions.
"you really think I'm that kind of man?"
"yes, that's all I can see"
He didn't speak, he stand and slowly turn his back on me. I look down but before he left he said something.
"I just wanted to say, what ever happened. I still love you. And I'm still in love with you in the past, present and in the future" I just look away and he left.
I sighed and lay my head on the table here in the garden.
"I love you too"
