A Night With Andrew

I open the door, but my eyes go up to meet his...

" C-come in, " I mumble.

I allow Andrew to come in and we both sit down on the couch.

He gives me red roses " These are for you," he says with a smile.

" Oh, thank you, Andie" I take them and admire them for some seconds then stand up to put them in a glass jar with water on the side.

" Thank you so much" I smile walking back to the living room and throwing myself on the couch.

" You are welcome," He says.

Reaching the remote "Let's watch a series" I say.

" Yeah, sure"

Before starting the show, I quickly make popcorn, for both of us and return to the sitting room just in time for the show.

" Only Murders in the building, good pick," he says.

I'm good at choosing the best series" I wink at him followed by a chuckle.

We both laugh.

After a few hours of watching the show, we start to investigate, who killed Tim Kono? after minutes of opposing Andrew gives up throwing his hands in the air.

" You know Emma, have been Mable instead" he chuckles.

I lightly chuckle.

"That was fun isn't it?"

" Sure it was," he says.

He gapes at his watch before smacking his knees and begins to speak "I should go, it's getting late" he says.

"Okay," I smile and walk him to the door.

" I will see you tomorrow"

"Good night, Andrew" I give him a soft smile.

" Good night, Emma" he turns to walk away.

Before I could completely close the door a foot stops it from completely shutting.

Tracking the man's shoe from bottom to top.

It's Andrew.

" Please take care of your health, I enjoyed spending time with you, and hope we could do this again this time at my place" he mumbles.

" Of course, I did enjoy spending time with you too".

Closing the door I turn my lights off and walk lazily to my bedroom.

I enjoyed spending time with Andrew and I hope we can do this again.

Enjoying the silence my phone vibrates from the nightstand with a message tone.

Picking it up, I turn on the screen and it reads 10 unread messages, I swipe the screen and the first message is from Jason...- " I hope you are doing well, and coming over this weekend have a good night" it reads

I smile at the message before replying to him- " I'm doing okay, can't wait to see you and Nightie" I press the send button.

I look at the next message it reads: " Hey, I miss you so much and hope you are taking your medication, love Erica" it reads.

I quickly reply to the message -"I miss you so much and see you soon " I press the send button.

The third message from Jessica, reads: - " Hey, bitch!

"I miss you "

"Answer me hoe"but

"I hope you are taking your medication "

"Answer me, Emma,"

"I'm getting worried, I love you!"

"Hello"

"I hate you so much for not replying"

I smile at the message and ignore it because I will have to call her instead.

The next message is from my mom.

"Hie, sweetheart, your father, and I miss you so much, Love mom" it reads.

I respond to the message -"I miss you too mom and tell dad that too, I love you ".

Chuckling to myself, I secretly thank the universe for sending these wonderful gifts of life I'm surrounded by.

Another message pops out on the screen "I got home safe and goodnight once again" It reads: from.

I scroll through my phone, find Jessie's number, and hit call. I place the phone in my ear, waiting for her to pick up the call, she picks it up after the second ring. "Emma, how are you?" she gasps through the line so loud that I almost dropped my phone in shock, in a way to burst my eardrum.

" I'm fine, why are you gasping so loud?" I blurt out, holding my phone away from my ear slightly trying to get it away from my ear to protect my precious ear ." I just wanted to know if you were okay, you didn't reply to my messages"

"Sorry, I thought of calling you instead"

honestly, I prefer calling her to just talking over texts it's just not enough for me.

She breaks me from my thoughts "Okay, so did your medication "

"Yes, I did"

I continue speaking "Andrew was here a few hours ago" I know she's going to outburst.

"What?!"

Yep, she never disappoints me with her outbursts...

"Jee-us, Jessica, you trying to damage my eardrum or something?"

"What, did you just tell me, Andrea, was at your place now I see why you couldn't respond to my messages in time " she screams over the line.

She continues "What happened?"

" Nothing, we just watched a series together"

"And ....!?"

"And... Nothing happened after that Jessica he then left"

"Tell me you are not lying to me right now"

"Nope, I'm not "

"You need to tell me everything in detail "

I roll my eyes at her words...

" Hey, don't roll your eyes at me young lady " she playfully scolds.

"Yeah, sure goodnight "

"Goodnight, I'm coming to your place tomorrow " Before I could object she hangs her phone, I pull out my phone from my ear to see if the call ended.

I guess tomorrow will be a busy day filled with only Jessica's interrogations.

I lay on my back staring up at the ceiling, I turn off my lamp and look up at the white ceiling again, I enjoy the silence and the street lights shining through the window.

Slowly, I drift off into a peaceful slumber.....
