Chapter 102: Unexpected visitors
Analina P.O.V.
I woke up very groggy I rolled over in my bed and looked at Andros’ face. He is just lying there sleeping like a baby without a care in the world as I reply to what happened last night in my head. I didn’t notice that Andros has stirred and is now gazing into my face until I feel his thumb brush underneath my right eye. “It will be ok, my angel.” He said to me, “I know it was meant to calm me down, but I can’t take what happened to Roco lightly even if it was just his shoulder that got shot. I didn’t say anything because I wasn’t sure how to handle his unconcerned behavior, I didn’t want to say anything that I would regret.
“I’m going to take a shower.” I told him as I got up from the bed and walked over to the bathroom. He didn’t follow me, which is one of the things that I love about him, he is very observant to my needs and know exactly what I need at that moment. After I take a quick shower I go over to the changing room to grab a towel to dry off with. I’m going through the motions as if I was a zombie. I wrapped the towel around myself and made my way over to my closet which I found Andros waiting for me. He grabbed my hand and sat me down and going over to my clothes rack picked me up an outfit to wear for the day.
It is times like these that I am very thankful for having him in my life. He takes his time dressing me in a silk lavender tank top, black shorts and black sandals. He then takes me over to my vanity in which he starts on my hair and make-up. “There all done.” I at myself in the mirror to see that my hair is in its signature French braid and that my make-up is a light shade of plum just the way I like it. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and said, “Why don’t you go downstairs, I know that you might want to be with your brother.” I nodded to him as he turned around and headed to the bathroom to take his shower.
I made my way downstairs and just before I got to the dining room doorway a pair of strong arms wrapped around my small frame. “Hi, my love.” The man whispered into my ear. I quickly turned around and threw my arms around his neck. “Oh, Stavros!!” I cried. He held me in his arms as he stroked my hair. “How are you holding up?” “As well as I could with the fact that he got shot because he was with me.” “This isn’t your fault at all, my love. We all knew what could happen while being with you.” “I know, but you all shouldn’t have to through this because of me. It’s bad enough that Andros has a target on his back for being with me.” “Come let’s sit.” He takes me by the hand and sits me next to him at the dining room table.
After taking our seats I noticed while looking around the table that just about everyone is here except for Andros who must still be upstairs getting dressed. Then I did a double take, “Bruno!!” I said as I got up to go over and give him a hug. “Hey my bestie.” “I didn’t know you guys were coming, I did have an idea that Stavros would show with Rocco being his son, but not you.” “Stavros left Rodrick there to be with your parents, so he brought me along hoping that it may cheer you up seeing a familiar face.” “Hey now, what am I chopped liver?” Jonathan asked. “Of course not, but it doesn’t hurt having her bestie here.” As the servers started getting the food out I took my seat next to Stavros.
At the same time Andros walks in wearing a black dress shirt and dress pants with black combat boots. As he enters he looks over at me the smile falling from his face as he takes notice of who is sitting next to me, he then takes his normal seat where we both usually sits and starts to eat. Figuring out what his problem is I too started to eat keeping my head down so no one can see the sadness that is forming on my face. As we were finishing up with our breakfast Jonathan took this tome to discuss what the schedule would be like for the day. “Analina your going to stay here for two reasons: One, I know that you are not going to be any good to us at the office, Two, we don’t now what could happen if you walk out of this house. I am not going to take any chances of anything happening to you or anyone else.” “Ok, I understand.” “You won’t have a schedule so do want you want today. Everyone else here is your schedules.”
Enzo, Diego and Andros looked over their schedules when Andros was done and he asked Jonathan a question. “I’m not staying here to be with Analina?” “No, we are going to go about our business as normal.” He nodded and looked over at me. “Can I talk to before I leave.?” He asked me. “Sure.” I said as I got up from my chair. He wanted for me over by the dining room doorway and as I reached him, he grabbed my hand and escorted me to the backyard. We took a seat on one of the benches and he then gave me a kiss on the lips. “Not to sound jealous or overprotective and obsessive. But why were you sitting with Stavros instead of me?” “I’m sorry, I thought you would have understood why. I met up with him going into the dining room and he offered to sit next to him. I didn’t know that it would hurt you that wasn’t my intention.”
“No, I’m sorry for questioning you.” “Your fine honeysuckle, we agreed to be honest with each other and instead of feeling uneasy about something we talk about it. This is one of those times.” “Thanks, my angel.” “Anytime. Have a good day at work.” I said to him as I stood on my tippy toes to give him a kiss on the lips.” He then pulled me into his arms and kissed me with passion before pulling away, walking back in the house and down the hallway. I went back in and bumped into Bruno just as I entered the main hallway. “Hi, how about we hang out today?” He asked just as I noticed Stavros coming around the corner. “Oh, there you are my love, am I interrupting anything?” “No, he was just asking if I wanted to spend the day with him.” I told him. “Well, I figured that Andros would feel better if she spent the day with me instead of you.” Bruno said wearing a smirk on his face.
