Chapter 19

Ivy's POV

I went out with Andrew and it was fun. 

He is fun, you know. 

I was hoping everything will be okay. Sophia said she would go and meet Antonio before Andrew returns. She doesn't want to face or meet Andrew at all. She is just too afraid. 

Well, she should be, after what she did. 

But, anyway, the one who forgives is always better than the revenger.

So, I am literally thinking of myself as bigger;-)

"Where are you lost today?" Andrew asked, making me come out of my trance. 

"Huh?" I asked, totally not knowing what he said. 

"I said where are you lost?" 

"Uh... Well... Let's go back" I said. "C-California" 

"Ivy, what's going on?" he asked. 

"Nothing," I said. 

He shook his head and then took me to his car and we headed towards the hotel. 

As we reached the room, he locked the door and after sitting on the bed, he pulled me on his lap. 

He snuggled deep into the crook of my neck. 

"Ivy, don't hide anything from me," he said huskily.

"I-I am not" 

"Ivy..." he said. "Why did you call Felix?" 

My heartbeat stopped for a moment. 

What will he do if he comes to know I was searching for Sophia? 

"I-I.." 

"It's fine, I trust you. No need to tell me. Just..." he turned me around and faced me. "I can't see you worried" 

A smile played on my lips as I joined mine with his. He kissed me back passionately and pulled me closer. 

"I'll tell you soon enough," I said. 

"I'll wait" 

Then we headed back to California. After a LONG journey, we reached our house. 

"I thought you had a job there, Andrew? What happened?" Dad smirked at him. 

"Ah... Actually.. uh... Yea! They rejected me!" he said. 

"Too happy to get rejected, huh?" dad winked. 

"Ah... Actually… I didn't like it much anyways" 

"Ohk now. Go back to your rooms" 

After that, I went back with Andrew to my room. 

"Andrew, for the last time, can I go out?" 

"It isn't dangerous, right?" 

"No" 

"Okay. Come fast. Give me a call if you need me" 

"Sure," I said. He smiled but I saw that he wasn't exactly happy. 

But I know you soon will be, Andrew. 

I went to Antonio's place as told by Edward. I know he wouldn't hurt me. 

After I got inside, I could hear the sounds of them talking. 

"P-Please" I heard Sophia's sobbing voice. 

"Get out and leave" 

"A-Antonio.." 

"I will kill you just LEAVE!" 

"I-I love you, Antonio... I-I do" 

"But I hate you, so just leave!" 

I entered the scene at that time. I saw Sophia almost crying and Antonio was fuming in anger. 

"Ivy?" he asked looking at me. Sophia's eyes snapped in my direction. 

"Hm," I said. 

"I-I am so sorry Ivy f-for treating Andrew like that..." he said. 

"You're sorry? So you can make up to me" 

"How?" he asked. 

"Forgive Sophia" 

They both were taken aback. 

"What? How could you-" Antonio spoke. 

"She's regretting, Antonio and she is really sorry. Everything can be fine because I know you love her too and she also loves you. All you need to do is forgive her and then clear all your misunderstandings with Andrew" 

"B-But" 

"That's my wish" 

"Okay," he said. 

Sophia's eyes lit up as she came near me. "Thank you so much, I don't know how to-" 

"Don't thank me. Just clear everything... Even with Andrew" 

She looked at me with a frown. "I-I can't face him" 

"Please Sophia," I said. 

She nodded after some time. "Okay" 

I smiled and left the place at my home.
