He smiles at her comment "yes ofcourse I am awake" he says in a gentle tone and embraces her more tightly yet in a way that doesnt hurt and comes closer to her face "did you sleep well?...I am sorry I was rough last night I lost control" he kisses her on the cheek and she starts blushing "wh-what are you doing why are you so sweet all of a sudden?" he smiles and says "well....can't I be sweet to the woman I love?" he says looking at her with sincere and passionate eyes.
She is taken aback "yo-you love me? didnt you break up with me?" his expression turns serious he looks at her and sighs "lemme explain okay but first lets wash up and everything" he says gently while smiling and she agree and gets up and is going towards the washroom when he says "how about we shower together after breakfast?" she is flabbergasted "wha-what!! why no we are not bathing together" her face becoming red like a tomato he smirks and chuckles and says "we have to save water...I promise I wont touch you for now".
She looks at him and turns around without saying anything and goes into the washroom and while she is brushing her teeth{"god....he is too brazen...just like 4 years ago....he was always passionate about our relationship....is he gonna be passionate this time too?....should I give him a chance...I do still like him"} she finishes brushing while she was thinking this and gets out of the washroom "I am done you can go now to brush your teeth".
He gets up and goes near her and drops a low whisper to her ear "Just so you know I was serious about the bathing together...I want an answer soon...if you dont feel like it....its fine...okay" he kisses her on the forehead and goes into the washroom.she flushes and goes out of the room to go wake up Reimi to see her already woken up and running around "reimi dont run around like that...what if you fall?" reimi see her and runs up to her"mommy...mommy can we have breakfast with papa like how we had dinner last night?" she looks at reimi and before she could say anything he said "sure why not....I would be honoured if princess reimi would wanna have breakfast with me"
She looks up to see him coming down the stairs and say "are you sure?" he give a reassuring smile and nods. she holds her daughters one hand while Andrew holds the other they look like a real family they are but the amount of happiness she was getting from this was inexplainable he felt happy too and as they entered the dining room.Andrew decided to sit next to Lillain,she felt shocked but didnt show it a part of her was happy too.
After having breakfast he glanced at her and tugged on her shirt from underneath the table and went close to her ear "whats your answer?" she was confused at first answer to what?but then she realised and starting blushing and looked at him and met his sincere eyes "what if I say no" she said he replies with "then thats not a problem you didnt wish for it so I cant force you" he said looking at her with honest smile.
"fine I will do it" as she said this she caught him by surprise "you will take a shower with me?" he asked unsure "yea....and dont forget you also have to tell the reason why you broke up with me first....then the shower" she said in a demanding tone.
[After a While]
He leads her into his room and sits her down and holds her hands gently "from now onwards you must listen to everything I say....can you do that?" he looks at her she nods.
"As you know I am a gang leader....mafia its all the same for you I know that.
[Andrew is Silent for a while but then continues]
"4 years ago....I got into a war with a gang.....the Mirao Shibai gang...we got a few of their men arrested and everything...so they wanted to get revenge on me...so they hurt my men and we got into shooting fights etc broke into my house,threatning messages...you name it.....but it was all fine...until at one point....where they decided to go after you....I think you remember but around that time. I got paranoid and kept you around me or my men all the time."
he grips her hand tight slightly "it was fine...I thought you would be safe...if you were around me....but I was wrong....the time you got abducted was my fault...after that I got a fear....if I cant keep you safe and you start suffering then....I wouldnt be able to live with myself.....so I did the only thing I thought would keep you safe...I broke up with you" he say with a sad expression he clearing didnt like thinking about it but he continues"and it worked.....they left you alone....and we got rid of them 1 year ago.....so I started searching for you ".
"But a thought went through my mind...what if you moved on.....and what if you were with someone else......The thought alone was so unbearing that....I dont know...I just-.....*takes a deep breathe* .....2 months ago I met reimi...and I started talking and hanging out with her....cause being the 4 year old she was....she told me she had a single parent.....and was alone...but didnt wanna worry you...so I kept her company."
