Our Love Destiny

Chapter 17

The loud music scene with several women and men dancing under the twinkling lights of the disco was only a sight for Andrew. He just sat alone with a glass of whiskey in his hand, some girl who approached him and tried to invite him to dance was rejected, his mind became riled since the day at the office, so he went to the bar to have a drink after work.

"Here you look." Sandra came up to him and sat next to him, his appearance was completely different from when he was in the office, she looks more beautiful with her minimalist clothes but gives the impression of elegance and still looks suitable to be worn in a place like this, and it makes Andrew even more upset.

"Why are you suddenly drinking alone? Is there a problem with our project?" Asked Sandra who was surprised by Andrew's behavior, he was a typical who rarely drank and went to the bar if nothing disturbed his mind, so he was sure if something happened.

"Who said I want to drink alone? I wouldn't call you if I just wanted to be alone." Andrew replied as he poured whiskey into a glass for Sandra.

"Sure, would you like a toast?" Sandra picked up the glass and raised it to a toast.

Andrew put the glass in his hand to the glass Sandra held and then they drank together for a few glasses. Before Andrew poured another drink into his glass, Sandra grabbed the bottle from Andrew's hand and put it back on the table.

"Enough drink An, now answer me, did something happen?"

Andrew looked at Sandra's face and answered her question while looking into her eyes, "Yes, something's going on, and I don't know what to do."

"Why? What's going on?" Sandra asked confused by Andrew's behavior, this was the first time she had seen his facial expression like this, he looked heartbroken.

"It's only natural that such rumors circulate, right? No wonder they assumed that."

Sandra thought it seemed like Andrew had started to digress because of drinking too much, he did not understand what he was talking about at all.

"Do you think I look like Gay?"

Sandra was surprised, now that she understood what Andrew was talking about, she did not expect that Andrew knew the rumors circulating about her. Yes all this time he did know but he just acted unconcerned about what other people thought of him. Until this afternoon when he went to the break room to brew his own coffee, while stretching his stiff muscles from mostly sitting down, he accidentally heard the conversation between Stella and Riana.

What makes him upset is not because of the gossip about him but because of what Stella said about him and Sandra. From there he began to question their relationship, why did he reject all the women? The reason for that is because every woman that expresses their feelings that are imagined in Andrew's mind is Sandra, if she accepts them somehow she feels that she is cheating on Sandra, she said, they are just friends no more.

"I know it's not true, so don't you mind." Said Sandra trying to convince Andrew without knowing that he was the cause of Andrew's turmoil.

"Why don't you ever express your feelings for me like that woman?" The question suddenly flowed from his mouth without him knowing, and making Andrew regret having said it, he wanted to retract the words by saying that he was just joking, but he remembered the words of Aldrian.

"Uncle is really complicated to be a person? Just shoot what is difficult, or uncle is afraid of rejection? Nyoba aja not yet know the answer, if the uncle is rejected it means the fate of the same uncle aunty Sandra is only a friend, you are already old friends and I am sure nothing will change even if the uncle is rejected, I am sure, and if it turns out to be accepted means you are a mate and if you break up in the middle of the road, you just stay calm again."

"*But if we break up in the middle of the road how can we win again?"

"Want to bet? Auntie Sandra's uncle is typical of loyal people, even if you break up I'm sure the reason is not because one of you cheated on her so you'll be safe if you go back to being friends, but my feeling is saying that if you guys make it up for sure will last until the guarantee, sooo mending Uncle shoot aunty Sandra before everyone else*."

Aldrian's words do sound sharp and very blatant but he has a point, if not tried we will never know, and Andrew also can not imagine if Sandra to date other men.

Sandra seemed to be still digesting what Andrew said, "What did you say just now?"

And Andrew took this opportunity to correct his question, He looked back at Sandra's face and held her hand while saying "San, I love you, please be mine."

Sandra looked shocked, she was speechless, her eyes locked on Andrew's face trying to read his expression if he was joking or because he was drunk, but Andrew looked serious, he did not blink an inch and instead shifted his seat closer and his left hand stroked Sandra's cheek, strange vibrations flowed in his body especially when it arrived Andrew's face was only a few inches from his face.

Sandra still did not move she closed her eyes, Andrew smiled, it seemed he knew Sandra's answer, and a moment later Sandra felt something soft touch her lips, his face was hot but he liked the other sensation he felt, Andrew's lips moved slowly above his lips, without realizing Sandrapun returned Andrew's kiss, Andrew, slowly the soft kiss turned into a deep kiss and lasted for quite a long time.

"I love you too" Finally Andrew heard Sandra's answer on the sidelines of their kiss.
