Chapter 98

KAILEEN ANDY LEWIS

I groaned as I pulled myself out of my car and went up to my apartment that night.

It was already late as my talk with Terry and her daughter lasted hours than we anticipated.

I was sighing on my way up 'cause the news I was carrying would surely not earn a positive response from my girlfriend.

And since it's already late, I was hoping she's fast asleep to avoid the conversation and just deal with it tomorrow because honestly I was do damn tired to face an argument.

And guess what?

Fortune was on my side— she's sleeping soundly.

So I tiptoed to the bathroom, showered, dressed and gently slid on the bed praying she won't wake up.

And my fortune ran out when she rolled on my side.

”Love?” She called.

I moved to hug her.

”I'm home and let's sleep.” I swiftly closed my eyes after planting a kiss on her cheek.

And just when I thought she'd drifted back to sleep, she groaned.

”How's the talk?” She asked with eyes closed.

I flinched.

”Let's sleep.”

”I'll tell you tomorrow.”

She hummed in agreement.

What a relief…

Good thing she did not pressed on.

”You should have consulted me first before agreeing!”

So there it was— arguing so early in the morning.

We were by the kitchen.

Well, the news was— Terry asked me to help Claire manage the restaurant while she's away for forty five days.

Of course I would turn in for duty after my classes at five. And I can't really refuse since it's Terry.

She's like my life advisor something, second to my mother: a close friend.

”I don't want to turn down Terry.” I reasoned.

”Why can't you?” Erika's veins were popping out already.

”We're graduating students Andy.”

”You don't have the luxury of time to do that managing!”

”I will just be fine.” I insisted, my voice— calm.

Erika sneered.

”Yeah, the genius you are.”

I just watched her.

I didn't say anymore.

Then my brows knitted as her tears fell and she's wiping them with her hands.

Why the fuck would she cry?

”I'm your girlfriend Andy!”

”When you are single, your decisions are your own!”

”But you are committed to me!”

”How big or small...

”… you should have taken my opinion and my feelings into consideration first before accepting!”

'now now now'

My expression softened as I pleaded guilty and I hugged her.

She sobbed on my chest.

”I'm sorry.” I apologized.
