Chapter Seven

Chapter seven

I was still lying on Andreas' Bed in his arms. Considering the situation, I didn't know what to say. We had a lot to talk about. He was still breathing heavily and sweating as I felt his hard beating fast like it was racing against something. 

My head was resting on his chest; I could hear all his heart beats. I was wondering what to say to him. He was silent and so was I; the silence was getting more awkward.

"Are you hungry?" He asked.

"Yeah, I guess so," I replied.

"You should be. Look at the time, its past one. I have nothing in my fridge to offer you. I will order pizza, do you mind?" He asked he picked up his phone.

"No, I don't."

We woke up and put on body towels, it felt was weird walking around naked, I mean two grown men walking around the house naked, although there was no one around, it still felt a bit weird, and I guess he felt the same.

After a few minutes the delivery guy was at the door. "I will get it," He said and went to take the pizza from the guy.

He brought the pizza to his bedroom and brought an apple-grape juice in two glasses. I drank the juice as I hopped he did not add anything in that juice. After all this, I guess he was not going to hurt me.

"Where is the bathroom?" I asked him.

"If you go out, you shall see a door on your left," he directed me to the bathroom. I got, as I walked past him, he tapped my left butt, I turned to him he smiled. I couldn't help smile back at him.

I went to take a shower. As I got out of the shower, I heard noise. It was someone was banging the door.

*Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!* *Bang!*

"Andy! Open up its me Gina. Are you okay?! Andreas!"

I freaked out and ran out of the bathroom; Andreas quickly cleaned his room and put my clothes in the guest room.

"Go to bed." He whispered. As he ran to the door to open for Gina. I ran to the guest room and put on my clothes and got in the blankets and pretended to be asleep.

"Hey Andreas." Gina said as she came in, I could hear their voices from my bedroom.

"Hi baby," He replied in a suspicious voice.

"Baby is you okay, why are you in a towel?"

"I was going to take a shower."

"At this time?"

"Yeah baby, I just work up."

"Baby you were having pizza?"

"Yeah."

"How come you ate all the slices alone?"

"Gina… Why all these questions? Keep it down I have a guest." Andreas said I began to shiver, what he was doing now, I didn't want any trouble.

"Andreas! Are you lying to me? Who is she? Where is she? I knew it you were with some." I had footsteps to the bedroom.

"Gina what wrong with you?"

"You have hidden her. Come out you bitch, today I'm going to show you what you get after you steal someone's man!"

"Gina! Calm down."

"Don't tell me to calm down, you calm down. So she was the one you shared pizza with. You lied to me; you said you ordered this last night but its still warm, why?"

"Baby I heated it in the microwave."

"Andreas where is she?"

"She… Who?"

"Now you are asking me? You know who I'm talking about. Your guest!"

"Gina I won't try to explain anymore, believe what you want to believe, I don't care! Come this way!" He said as he led his girlfriend to the room I was in. I was scared as I heard the footsteps getting near and nearer. Finally he opened the door, I pretended to be asleep. 

"That's my friend, Nicholas. He's not well; he drank too much last night."

"I'm sorry babe, is he okay?"

"Its okay Gina, lets excuse him, he is going to be just fine."

Before the left, I sneezed. The blankets were dusty. I sneezed again three times. I could not pretend to be asleep anymore. I yawned and sat up.

"What's going on?" I asked.

"Andy, look he is up!" Shouted Gina.

"Good morning Nick, I mean good afternoon, it's past twelve now." Said Andreas who winked his right eye to give me a clue, to play along.

"What happened? And who is this? Where am I?" I asked, playing dumb.

"You at Andreas' apartment, and I'm Gina his girlfriend." Said Gina.

"I stink; I need to take a shower." I said as my clothes smelled alcohol. "I need to take a bath."

"Oh." Andreas said surprisingly. I had just come out of a shower ten minutes ago.

"Okay, I will find you something comfortable to wear." He offered. I gave the two space and went into the shower once again. In the shower, I closed my eyes trying to process everything. I was thinking about what I should do next, just walk away or hang out with the couple and get to know both of them.

Andreas gave me a clean outfit. I walked to the kitchen and Gina was eating the pizza that Andreas had ordered in the morning.

"Would you like some pizza? I'm sorry, I know you are hungry. Come and join me." She invited me to eat with her. She was generous.

"No I'm okay, thank you, I think I will only have the apple juice." I said as I had had much of the pizza. I went to sit next her and drank the orange juice. I felt a little guilty and pity for Gina, she was so nice to me yet I had done all that with her boyfriend.

Chapter eight

It was a very long time since I spoke to Andreas or saw him. After all that happened I don't think it was right for me to keep on meeting him. I wished him all the best in his relationship with Gina. They looked good together, that made me jealous and I didn't want to think about him.

I was back to work the following day after Andreas had lied to my boss. Everyone was asking me how I have been they were all concerned about me, I'm glad. I lied to them and told them it was just an allergy.

I cleaned a few tables, delivered people orders and collected tips. The month was about to end, and soon rent was going to be due. I was saving enough money for paying rent; I did not want to have any issues with my landlord as we were in good terns. I always paid my rent on time.

"Can I get your order sir?"

"Two steak pies and two cappuccinos." Replied the customer, I raised my gaze up to his face as his voice sounded familiar. It was Dean; it looked like he loved this place.

"Dean." I said.

"Hi Nicholas." He greeted. I smiled at him; he looked down and said, "I was thinking of calling you, we have not discussed your payment."

"Oh, I will get back to you, I need to go," I said after another customer from a different table snapped his fingers.
