Tell me you're mine

Half of the truth

    Andrew’s P.O.V. 

    I can’t believe she let me ride with her to her house. And riding with her means my hands wrapped around her thin waist. She was sexy, gorgeous when we were together, but now she is devilishly sexy, more gorgeous, confident, amazing.

    I wasn’t paying attention to the road or surroundings, I was looking at her, smelling her, feeling her when she stops. I look around and we were home..our home. My heart melted instantly. 

    We entered and I saw she changed all the furniture, almost everything but the couch. She said that she smashed every spot when we had s*x but keep the couch because smelled like me and I feel like crap. I know I broke her heart big time and if I could turn back time…. Hell, I can’t do that. She start making something to eat and I knew she would start THE TALK any second. 

„How are you? How is Mark? He is 8 now, right? I bet he’s as sweet as you and charming.” She asked 

„Ahh…he is sweet” I said unknowing how to start to tell her when….

„Okay, spill it out. What happened?” she turned to me

    Here goes nothing: „He’s not my son”  

    She seems lost in her thoughts for some time and I called her name

 „Lyn, Lyn, where are you?”

„Sorry, I thought I heard you saying that Mark isn’t your son” she is confused

„You heard right. He is not my son.” I said and I saw her fainting. 

    I run to her „Lyn, my love, please come back. Baby, you’re okay. Please be ok” I carried her to our bedroom, put her gently on bed, climbed in bed and wrapped my hands protectively around her.

„My love, please wake up.” I kiss her temple „Baby, please. I’m sorry I was an awful fiancé and I broke your heart. Please baby, please wake up.” I don’t know how much time I spoke to her or when I fall asleep. Suddenly I heard her voice and I woke up. 

„Dimitri, okay. I’m heading the office tomorrow at 12am. Have a good night, too. I’m proud of you guys, good job.” Then she hangs and turns to me.

„Hey you’re awake.” She smiles „How I ended in bed with you?”

„Sit next to me, please.” I said nervously.

„I told you that Mark is not my son and you fainted.” 

    She looked confused „I thought it was a dream…what happened?”

„After your last call, when you said I don’t have to choose between you and him cause you’ll choose for me, I was devastated. I couldn’t call you back anymore, you changed your mail address, I couldn’t reached you. I was miserably…when Lyla saw the state I was in she tried to foolish me more and making me forget about the recognition papers. Don’t get me wrong, I never slept with her. It past almost a year since I left LA for my son when I wake up. 9 months without you took me to realize that she’s fooling me with those papers. I went myself to the City Hall to make those papers and I found out that Mark it’s registered under David’s name. So I began to be suspicious and I made a DNA test to see if I am Marks father. And I am not.”

    She was silent for a couple of minutes then she speaks

„When you found out the truth, why don’t you come back to me?” I looked at her and see her eyes full of tears.

„I tried to call, to wrote, then I fought you already hate me. I was ashamed that I let myself foolish by that s*ut and her husband. I was ashamed that I lost someone as amazing as you. I couldn’t face you with all that shame on me. I’m really sorry my love. And I hope one day you will forgive my stupidity. I was so trapped with the idea of having a baby that I was blind.” I said with trembling voice. I saw her crying even harder. 

„Don’t cry my baby, please” I said wiping her tears with my thumb. „I am not a reason for you to cry. I am just a stupid man and I’m so sorry for letting her to rip our love. Please, my love, stop crying.”

    She hugged me and we collapsed in bed. We stayed in each other arms, crying, sobbing for so long and fall asleep. 

Evelyn's P.O.V. 

    I wake up, try to reach my watch to see the time and realize I couldn’t move. When I turn my head I saw him, my Andrew. I thought „Okay, I’m dreaming. Such a wonderful dream…he seems happy. I hope he’s happy with his son. Then he moves and his arms are searching for me in bed. When he reaches me, he opens his eyes. And that’s the moment when I realize that I’m not dreaming. He is here with me, Mark isn’t his son. All of that was a trap of that stupid woman. Lost in my thoughts looking to his eyes I heard him speaking with me.

„Hey, why are you up at 5 o’clock in the morning? How are you feeling?” he spoke gently

„Well, I woke with this view” pointing to him „and I thought I was dreaming” I said smiling

„Having  a dream or a nightmare?”

„Honestly?”

„Yeah” he said nervously.

„A dream…a confusing dream.” I said looking to the window.

„I know how are you feeling. I never thought that I would come back here, in LA and in our home with you. I mean, I am in LA since 11pm. When I left the airport I said to myself to go for a drink with James in his club, then go to the hotel. And I found you.” He smiles looking me in the eyes. I read in them sadness, fear, love, loneliness and he continues „Do you know how awful was my life since I woke up and found out the truth? I don’t blame you for leaving me. I blame myself for letting you leave, for being a coward.”

„Andrew, you were lied. She knew that she could foolish you with a baby but I can’t believe that she used her own son for that. I don’t know how was you life for all these 6 years, but I know how was mine.” I said a little bit harshly. I take a deep breath calming myself down and speak again. 

„Look, we went through a shock tonight, both of us. I think we should go to sleep and talk properly in the morning. What do you say?” I ask him with hope in my voice.

„You are right. Let’s talk in the morning” then he stands up and walk through the door

„Where are you going?” I ask confusedly 

„In the spare bedroom.”

„Why?”

„Because I don’t deserve to be here next to you, neither in your bed or your arms.” His voice cracks

„I said all of these to you?” I ask almost laughing

„No, but..”

„No BUT.. come here, in bed with me, in my arms, shut up and enjoy the good sleep. Then tomorrow, we will see…but tonight, we are enjoying each other.” I said opening my arms to him.

„Are you sure?” he smile shyly. I nod and he gets in the bed wrapping his arms around my shoulders.

„Yes. I am sleepy, and I missed you like hell. You owe me 3 months sleeping next to you and a properly breakup.” I said giggling. 

„Sweet dreams, my love.” He said kissing the top of my head.

„Sweet dreams.”

    I wake up and look around. No sign of Andrew.. ok, now I am sure that I start to loose my mind. Looking at his side of bed, I said sadly 

„Oh, my sweet boy, how I miss you. After 6 years since I last saw and heard you, I am still dreaming of you loving me and be here with me.”

„Morning sunshine. The breakfast is ready” I heard looking and the door. I jump out the bed and run in his arms. Realizing that he is really here with me I back off.

„I’m sorry. I have to do that to see if you’re real and I’m not dreaming or having a mental disorder.” I said looking in his eyes.

    He starts laughing.

„What? Why are you laughing?”

„You’re face was priceless. Like a kid on his first Halloween with his bag full of candies. That means that you are happy that I’m here” he winks

„Back off, sweet boy.” I laugh „you said breakfast is ready? Amazing, I’m famished”.  

We set at the table facing each other. We stared in the eyes, unknowing how to start a conversation. Then he breaks the silent.

„How are you doing? How did you do through all these years? Tell me what did you do” he said with pleading eyes.

„Well, it’s a very long story…a 6 years story” I said laughing.

„Tell me”

„After you left or I left, I was miserably. I quit my job at the company and I travelled in Europe for 2 years. There I met my best friend, Alaya and she is now my business partner.”

„You mean, at the club?” he asks

„Kind of” I said nervously

„If you’re doing what I’m thinking about…I think we need to talk about my new job” he said looking me right in the eyes. I can read his fear.

„Let me say the entire story of those 6 years, then we can speak properly about I am doing and what are you doing. Ok?” he nods me to continue. 

„You know that I was married. I don’t know from who did you find out that I met someone or I’ve been married.” I said with a dumb look like I didn’t know the true. „Never mind, back to the story… He was from Greece, we met in Spain. We both were in vacation. Everything about him was amazing, I married him in 6 moths. After 2 moths I found out that I was pregnant. We were happy about the idea having a baby, but unfortunately I had a miscarriage. He couldn’t let this thing go, he didn’t want to try having another baby. After a million fights, one day I left home and I met Alaya. Besides she was a stranger back then, she listened my story and wanted me to be her business partner. And I said YES. I get back home after 2 days with the divorce papers, he signed them without remorse. I lived with Alaya for 1 year and a half, she taught me to ride, to hold a gun, to shoot, to protect myself, to run a business. I owe her my life. she was my knight in shinning armor back then. I moved back in LA” I look him in the eyes. „I suppose you know now what I’m doing for living”
