Purple Romance

Finally breaking off the hug, Andy moved up the bed and sat behind Paula, making her lean and support herself on him. she laid with her back supporting on his chest while he held her hands, rubbing her fingers gently.

''Paula, there is something I need to tell you. in fact, it is something I considered not telling you because I thought it wasn't necessary. I thought that it was good as long as we shared the same feelings towards one another but, you can getting hurt by it so I have to tell you. I'm sorry for keeping it away from you all this while.

About ten years ago, at the time I was in high school. I met this girl whom I liked a lot. I was quite shy at that time and didn't know how to approach her but Leslie managed to get her number for me. turns out she also had a crush on me, so after a lot of chatting on phone each day, we decided to date. We were together all through our senior year and I thought that she was going to be with me forever.

After we completed our senior year, I was supposed to go with my mother due to the divorce. My mom had custody over me and I had to leave the country but I loved her so much, so I made a promise to her. I promised her that as long as she agreed to wait for me, I could work things out with my mom and then return to her side.

She agreed to wait for me, so I went away with my mom, but things didn't work out that well for me, so it took a little longer for me to return to the city due to my stepfather's involvement with the underworld.

It took me two years to convince my mother and stepfather that I was still on their side even though I didn't like the underworld that much. I couldn't hate my mother and stepfather because they were good to me.

After I returned, she had left the country and also sold the house that I bought for her without telling me anything. She simply told my brother that she hated the fact that I had ties with the underworld before leaving. I never heard from her again till very recently that she came back to City B again. Two months ago, on the day that I sent you home after you slept at the hotel, I found out that the apartment that I bought for her, which she sold turned out to be the same one that you and Lisa were staying in''

''Is there such a coincidence?'' Paula turned to look at his face.

''I guess I can say that you and I are fated?''

''Andy, actually, there is something I haven't told you before''

''What is it?''

''I know. You don't have to feel guilty about it or blame yourself for anything''

''What do you mean?''

''Mali is your ex, right?''

''Huh? You knew about it?'' Andy turned her body to face him and she nodded her head.

''I found out that day after you left. You didn't call me again, so I figured out that you must have found out about my relationship with Mali''

''Are you okay with it? Paula, I know that I am not perfect and sometimes I act impulsively but, my feelings for you have always been true''

''I know and I also know that you've blamed yourself for a long time before deciding to come and see me''

''I'm sorry. I should have handled my past well''

''Is there really someone who can handle their past very well? Andy, you don't have to care so much about your past when you are with me. I don't care about what happened in the past, I care about what happens now and in the future''contemporary romance

''You are not going to break up with me?'' Andy asked with a confused gaze.

''Why should I break up with you? Let me tell you, I am not one of those people who jump to break up with their significant others over trivial issues, okay? Unless you give me a reason to break up with you, I will never let go''

''I have never hesitated when it came to you and I won't do that. You are the one I want''

''It won't be easy. My sister is determined to have you and my mother wants me to let go so that my sister can have you. Your father doesn't like me and there is Betty too who makes it her life's mission to torment me. Aye, why do I feel that I've lacked out since the day I met you? Who even told me to fall for such a perfect man? You are handsome, caring and also very rich''

''Paula'' Andy called out her name softly.

''Yes?''

''I can't do this anymore''

''Do what?''

''Marry me!!''

''Huh?''

''I don't think I can live without you. I want to wake up next to you, I want to watch you sleep in my arms every night and most of all, I want make love to you''

Paula's cheeks and ears turned red and she looked at the table saying, ''I haven't called Lisa. She must be worried about me''

''Two nights ago, you said you wanted to sleep with me. I guess your body is more honest than you?'' Andy continued to tease her.

''Right, I still have to complete the menu I was putting up. I can't believe I totally forgot of that. what will my boss say when he finds out that instead of working hard I am here flirting with my boyfriend. I shouldn't let my boss think that I am becoming pompous because my boyfriend is a rich heir, right?'' Paula attempted to get down from the bed and Andy held her back, pining her down as he got on top of her. she blushed and lowered her gaze shyly.

''What are you doing?'' she asked and bit her lips.

''Stop doing that or I will be the one biting them the next time, those lips are my weakness. Haven't you noticed already?''

''Is it okay to be on top of a sick patient like this? What if I suddenly get a relapse?''

Andy busted into a fit of laughter as he hugged Paula, sliding to lie beside her as he pulled her into his embrace.

''It is so fun to tease you, Paula. Your face is so red''

''How can you tease me this way?'' Paula frowned.

''Because your reactions are always to die for. I'm sorry, I won't tease you like that again''

''Promise?''

''I promise, but I can at least do this, right? I missed you so much'' he asked and kissed her.

''You are allowed to''

…..

''Asssh'' Betty pushed down all the cosmetics on her table as she screamed inside her room which was locked from the outside.

As soon as she got home, her sister had told her to pack her things and get ready to leave the country the following day. She didn't even get the chance to ruin Paula's life. She was so infuriated.

''Godiva, no matter what, Betty is your sister. Is it right to be this strict towards her?''

''Mom, it is because you and dad have always given in to her that she went overboard this time. Andy is already having it tough without her involvement, does she have to add more salt to his injury? Andy is pissed this time and if she doesn't get away from him, he might take it out on our family. She needs to get away in order to reflect on her life''

''But, getting her a one-way ticket is a little… she won't be able to come back to the city unless you approve of it from the embassy''

''Yes, Betty isn't coming back until she grows up and that is final. I am telling you, mom. Don't do anything to interfere or else I won't be responsible for anything Andy decides to do next if she keeps messing with him. the problem this time is bigger than you think'' Godiva said and walked away.

''Let me out. I refuse to be a prisoner. I am not going anywhere'' Betty's voice continued to ring in the villa.

…..

Mali smirked as she continued to swing the wine glass in her hands. She was sitting at the counter in a club alone. She kept gazing at her watch as if waiting for someone.

A while later, the bar stood next to her shifted and a man sat on it next to her.

''I will have the same thing she is having'' the familiar voice said to the bartender at the counter before turning to face Mali, 'it's been a while. You still look the same. It is alright to be this beautiful?''

''I was just born pretty that's all. What can I do about it?'' Mali said narcissistically.

''Still a narcissistic. Tell me, to what do I owe this sudden call?''

''Felix, you still like my sister, right?''
