Andre sat on his bed exhaling smoke with a cigarette between his index and middle finger while thinking about Valerie. He thought about the night they spent together and smiled."I miss her so much. I want to see her," he said to himself.Meanwhile, inside her office, Valerie also kept thinking about Andre. She thought about the words Julius had said and also about the things Andre said to her last night and sighed."Why can't I get you out of my head, Andre?" she asked herself. "Why is it that when you're in front of me, I can't push you away and mean it?"While she was still engulfed in her thoughts, someone knocked on her door, and she said, "Come in."Doctor Kell came in, and she instantly stood up. He still had a bandage around his nose, and she felt guilty as she looked at it. He walked up to her table, and she said, "Good morning, Doctor Kell.""Good morning, Valerie," he replied."Can I sit?""Of course, yes you can," she said. He took out the seat opposite her and sat down.
Valerie stared helplessly at Andre. She wanted to break free from his grasp, but his arms firmly held her waist, drawing her nearer."Let me go now," she pleaded."Please, Andre.""No, I'll never let you go," Andre replied."Really?" she asked sarcastically. "What about your 'different packages'? I mean the ones you spend all your time with."Andre smiled, "Spend all my time with? Valerie, you know I spend all my time chasing after you.""Oh, don't pretend like you don't know what I'm talking about," Valerie retorted."Alright then, let me tell you something," Andre said."I won't deny that I used to have weird kinks. Back when Drew and I grew up together, we did a lot of things: wild partying, drinking, smoking, and... well, I occasionally had multiple partners. I never really formed any attachments because I discarded them as quickly as I got them. Then Drew began to get involved with all these 'packages.' He would have many women in a room, partying and having sex with them. He a
As Valerie began to walk away with Julius and Melody, Andre followed behind them, but they ignored him. When Julius reached his car, he opened the front door for Valerie to get in, but she went to the back, leaving the front seat for Melody, since she was his girlfriend. As Melody sat in the back, Andre, who was still following them, attempted to enter the car. Julius, now in the driver's seat, noticed him and stopped, stepping out of his car and approaching Andre on the other side."What is wrong with you, Andre?" he pushed him."Do not get into my car. I don't want you here with us. Why can't you understand simple English?" Julius exclaimed.Andre stared at him and smiled, "No matter what, if Valerie is going, I'm also coming. I planned to have lunch with her. Since you want us all to have it together, let's do so.""That is not going to happen," Julius said, pushing Andre away as he tried to enter the car again. Valerie, sitting inside, closed her eyes."What am I going to do abou
Valerie screamed as the sounds of gunshots filled her ears, but Andre covered her mouth and said, "Shhh..."He pulled her towards a table, and they remained underneath as gunshots fired through the window. She looked in the direction of the burly man and saw him lying on the ground, while his underlings, who had earlier stood beside him, positioned themselves at two other windows, shooting out. While Valerie tried to control her breathing, she stared at Andre and noticed that a bullet had grazed his shoulder."You're bleeding," Valerie said helplessly."Don't worry about that," Andre replied, taking out a gun from his pocket. He began crawling towards the door, but Valerie tapped his back."Get back here and let the other men handle it," she said.Andre looked back at her and smiled, "How do I get you out of here if we remain under the table?""This is all your fault," she complained. "If you hadn't brought me here, my life wouldn't have been in danger.""Shush, this is not the time
Valerie looked at Andre and finally smiled."Oh... see, you finally smiled," Andre said pointing happily at her."Come with me, I need to show you something," he continued.He took hold of her hand and led her towards a room. He opened the door, and they both went in. Valerie looked at the room, seeing different artworks of guns, flowers, and mostly weapons."Do you have a hobby of collecting drawings and paintings of weapons?" She asked. Andre smiled. He went over to a recent drawing covered with a piece of cloth and opened it. It was Valerie's face, and she was smiling.She had a coat on, and anyone who saw her would know she was a doctor.She exclaimed, "Wow, this is beautiful, Andre!" She walked closer and stared at the drawing, "Wow, it looks just like me. Whoever did this is really good."She turned to Andre and asked, "Is this supposed to be a gift for me?"Andre nodded, "Yes, and um.... I drew that.""It's a lie," she said in disbelief."It's not a lie," Andre replied. "Come
The next morning, when Andre woke up, he watched Valerie quickly rush into the bathroom to shower.When she came out, he said, "Just give me a second, I won't be long," and he also went into the bathroom to take his bath before coming out.Upon his return, he noticed she was already dressed and she asked him, "Why didn't you just join me when I was going in?""Yeah, because you said you were in a hurry, and I didn't want to delay you," he replied.She shook her head, smiling."I wanted to order breakfast, but then I was thinking we could stop along the way and have something to eat.""No, I don't have the time," Valerie replied. "I need to meet with Julius, and there's this meeting we have at the hospital too. I need to be there early enough. I can't afford to be late.""Alright then, I'll drop you off," Andre offered.He drove Valerie back home, and when they arrived, he followed her into the house. He was expecting a very cold reception from Julius, whether it be an attempted punch,
Valerie stared at Melody in surprise."I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. You think you can find out if Andre is cheating on me or not? How do you intend to do that?" Valerie asked. "Or is it possible that you know him from somewhere?"Melody laughed, "How could I know him from somewhere? Well, you see, I studied computer engineering, so I'm very skilled when it comes to operating phones. I even told Julius about this. Perhaps he can explain it better."Julius nodded, "Yes, Valerie. Melody had a word with me. She suggested that rather than trying to push Andre away, we should find out if he is cheating on you and hold on to that. As it stands now, you love him and whatever it is he feels for you, he's not willing to let go. So, instead of this constant fighting, and everything that is not yielding any result, she is trying to say that we should check his phone. Most times, people like Andre who are used to getting their way will most likely not bother to delete such thing
When it was time for lunch, Andre drove over to the hospital to see Valerie. When he got there, she was standing outside the door waiting for him. He waved at her, and she walked over to his car and got in. He smiled and said, "Since you've invited me today, where do you have in mind for us to go?" "Any place you pick is fine by me," Valerie said."No, I want you to pick a location," Andre insisted.After thinking for a while, Valerie finally came up with her favorite fast-food restaurant, and Andre scoffed, "Of all places.""Well, you had your chance," she replied."Okay, let's go, ma'am."They soon arrived at the location, and Valerie ordered her favorite food for herself and Andre."I'm really in trouble today," Andre commented."Indeed you are. This is what I choose for you, and you have to eat it," Valerie said smiling.Andre began to eat, and said, "Hmm, this doesn't taste so bad. It is my first time, but it doesn't feel like it.""I'm glad you're enjoying yourself," Valerie r
