"Charlotte,I know you can hear me,we need to talk" Andrea called out,her tiny voice echoing through the room,her small frame fitting into the widely opened door,behind her stood Liam, His tall frame casting a shadow over Andrea,blocking the light from the door.
Luciana and Charlotte's eyes widened as they landed on both Andrea and Liam.
Luciana hadn't seen Liam since the last time she took the blame for laying accusations on Andrea.
Luciana felt that after she had done what Liam wanted,she would have him all to herself but after that day,Liam didn't try to reach her or return any of her text messages,Luciana even went as far as visiting one of Liam's famous bars: 'The waltz bar'.But she was escorted out by the bouncers,who claimed Liam didn't want to see anyone.
Charlotte hadn't set her eyes on Liam Walton since the last time in the club and he looks even more handsome than she remembers.
His black hair was styled to the back leaving his sharp features on display,the sun light peeked through his face,giving it a warm glow.
His hand was firmly tucked on Andrea shoulder and that made both Luciana's and Charlotte's heart sting.
"What're you doing here?"Charlotte managed to say,her tone firm,a huge contrast to the sting she felt in her chest at the sight in front of her.
The boy she loved was holding another and there was nothing,she could do about it.
"You haven't been home for a week,I was worried sick charlotte" Andrea face etched with sadness as she took slow steps towards charlotte,her footsteps echoing,her gaze fixed on charlotte,oblivious to Luciana laying on the bed
After the encounter with Luciana,Andrea had not been the same,she couldn't help but feel that Bianca left school and faked her death because of her.
Guilt tore Andrea apart,she spent most of her days with Liam Walton.
He visited her everyday after work with exotic dishes and presents and they've somehow managed to become friends.
But even with Liam as Andrea's friend,she still felt a hole in her heart,Charlotte's words constantly ringing in her ears.
Charlotte and Andrea had been friends for as long as she could remember and she couldn't afford to loose her.
Charlotte was Andrea's only family,the only one who stood with her when her parents abandoned her,the one who always made sure she was fed and clothed,the one who helped her secure a job.
Andrea tried to reach charlotte by sending her numerous messages and calls but charlotte didn't return any of Andrea's text messages.
Andrea didn't know what to do,so she told Liam about everything and he tracked Charlotte's phone and it led them to an old room library.
The smell of old paper and faded rose invaded the walls.
"I owe you an apology" Charlotte said,her brown eyes etched with a mix of sadness and tears
Charlotte hated Andrea. The seed of hate started spreading when every man she ever had eyes on,always had their eyes on Andrea.
Everywhere charlotte went,she was constantly reminded that Andrea was better than her,at work,at the gym. Everywhere.
But despite the hate Charlotte felt for Andrea,she had a plan and for the plan to work,she needed to act like the good friend,she always faked to be.
"No,I owe you an apology" Andrea corrected,her blue eyes staring into Charlotte's brown ones
"I'm sorry,we fought. The house feels lonely without you,I feel lonely without you,please come back"Andrea pleaded,her eyes never leaving Charlotte
"No. It's all my fault,I shouldn't have said everything I did,I'm sorry"Tears erupted from Charlotte's eyes as she watched Andrea's face Soften with empathy.
Andrea closed the distance between them,her tiny hands wrapped around Charlotte's torso,pulling her into a tight hug,the smell of foundation and female cologne filled her nostrils as she pulled away from the hug
"Let's never fight again"Andrea blurted,wiping the tears clinging to Charlotte's nose.
"Hi Liam"Luciana's weak voice sounded from behind Andrea
Andrea's eye brow shot up in alarm as her eyes followed the sound of the voice.
Her eyes landed on a raven haired,Luciana.
Luciana looked like she was just hit by a car,her once combed raven hair was flying all over the pillow,her brown eyes dull,her pink lips dry.
What happened to her?
Andrea wondered.
"Hi"Liam replied simply,diverting his eyes back to Andrea.
A small smile plastered on his thin lips as he watched Andrea talk to Charlotte and Luciana.
For the past few days,Liam had spent all his time with Andrea and he had learnt so much about her.
Liam had learnt her favorite color was black,her favorite novel was withering heights,her favorite movie was Titanic,her favorite drink was water,her favorite meal were pancakes.
Liam already knew all that but hearing it from Andrea's beautiful mouth with her sweet melodic voice made his heart leap.
To Liam,Andrea was like flowers,the more you smell,the more addicted you get to the scent.
To Liam,Andrea was like a book,he would never get tired of reading.
Everything about Andrea fascinated Liam and he couldn't get enough of her sweet floral scent or her beautiful blue eyes.
Months ago,Liam was unsure of what he felt for Andrea but now,standing and watching her in her beautiful red gown as her lips kept moving,her face filled with excitement. Liam was positive he loved Andrea.
Because of Andrea,he had been able to sleep well for the first time since he lost his mother,because of Andrea,he had been able to think past money and see that there's more to life than money.Because of Andrea,he decided to look past everything,His brother,Lucas had done and gave him the role of manage of one of his bars.
Andrea taught him that holding grudges would get him no where,despite how Lucas insulted Andrea,she still pleaded with Liam to help him.
Andrea was an Angel,Unlike every girl Liam had encountered,Andrea was pure and different,she wasn't after his money.
Andrea brought light into his life and he would never let her go.
Liam had plans to confess his love to Andrea.
He would invite her over to his place,make her some delicious food with the help of his cook,he would ask her to be his girlfriend.
Liam had never been in a relationship,he always saw women as pawns for pleasure but Andrea was different.
For Andrea,Liam was ready to get into a relationship.
"Liam,would you mind dropping off Luciana at the hospital?" Andrea's voice snapped Liam out of his thoughts.
Liam's eyes wandered off to the lady on the bed,it was none other than Luciana.
Why was she here?
What was she planning?
Those questions ringed in Liam's head.
Liam had a deal with Luciana,Luciana held her part of the bargain but Liam can't see himself being with anyone but Andrea.
Even though,Luciana promised Liam,all her father's wealth,Liam still couldn't bring himself into being with Luciana,he had ignored her numerous messages and emails and seeing Luciana with Andrea made Liam feel a feeling of unease in his chest.
As Liam helped Luciana off the bed and into his car.
A pit formed in his stomach as he ignited the engine and drove off.
