    *****************************
                  " Andrew please stop " she breathed out
Valerie found her body reacting to Andrew's body ,touch and intentions .
Much as she is married , it's not the type that where sexual touch or contact is often done if not mistaken never done 
Andrew's finger tips softly and gently touching her skin in the back , he slowly slid them down to her waist on her bear skin , she breathed out heavily feeling his sensational touch
To the string tying the gown around the waist , Andrew untied as well . their eyes interlocked ,Much as Andrew would like to stop ,he finds himself so lured by her .
                  " last night , " Andrew said gently raising his hand his fingers touching her face .
Just like how she was feeling his face , Andrew was doing the some
                   " why did you feel my lips " he asked like whisper moving further more between her legs .
She closed her eyes feeling his touch , breathed out hard as his fingers caressed her lips
                  " I wanted to feel them on my lips , I wanted them on my body " Valerie found herself say out softly .
Andrew didn't hesitate but move his fingers around her neck pulled her in for their lips to embrace
                 " don't do it if your are to apologize or regret " Valerie breathed out as Andrew's lips almost touched hers .

                 Andrew extended behind a bit , Valerie looked at down breathing in . Andrew moved further more behind ,it seams he was not sure if he would apologize or regret it .
               " its not that I would regret or apologize " Andrew breathed out
               " am sure you were referring to  your self  when you said that " Andrew said .
Valerie leaned her head on the mirror behind , breathing in hard again her eyes closed listening to him
                " if we continued , things would greatly change between us " Valerie quietly said . Andrew understood that
                 " to the better or to where we started from " Valerie added
                 " Valerie ......"
                 " if we say it's to the better , it won't be love but lust ,desire and longing ,which I would regret because there is someone you like " Valerie softly calmly said not allowing him speak
                  " and if it's to the worst , we shall drift and avoid each other ,draw a line between us again. Trying to avoid making the some mistake which I would also regret " She added
Andrew silently listened , but where were the lies here . she looked at him waiting for his response and he looked like he had something to say .
                  " hope you get used to me being around because i am going to be going to be your your nurse and personal helper assigned by Dr Lee " Andrew said
                   " till you get fine and your finally off the casts and medication " he added then moved out . much as it sounded like a plea ,  it was more of being informed of how things are going to be for a while and she has no say to it .
He came back in again with a dress and a pair of shoes .
                  " can i help you get down " he asked .
She didn't say a word but slowly get down . she looked at the dress he was carrying ,  it was the some dress she was wearing the night of the argument before she passed out .
                 " miss Ann must have forgotten to bring you new clothes " Andrew noticed .
                 " am i going to dress when your looking at me like that " she asked .
                " can't dress you up when my eyes are closed either " he said .
                " i will be the eyes be the hands " She insisted .
Andrew moved close to her closing his eyes . At first it seamed like it be hard but somehow it worked he managed to dress her with his eyes closed .

                  " Will they come or not " Jordy asked .
                  " well they seamed to be needing some more time ,  they were too tensed and cozy " Miss Ann said
                 " doing what " Andrew's secretary asked
                 " he was helping her undress and dress up " Miss Ann said it more clear
                 " ohhhhh,  okay " they all agreed and decided to be more patient ,  but not just long enough ,  Andrew and his wife come out of the hospital side by side ,  Valerie was being covered by Andrew's coat ,  the driver immediately got the car started . Quietly they got into the car ,  this silence was not the usual one especially now that they had made new terms and conditions governing their marriage ,  the bathroom incident brought this ,  Valerie was right ,  if they had continued ,  it would take them another full year to speak comfortably again .
They sat in the back seat each looking their side outside the window
Miss Ann ,  Jordy , Emma and Ray could feel the awkwardness between them .

                  " what makes him special " Andrew asked suddenly
                  " pardon " Jordy , Ray and Emma asked at once
He didn't say a word to them but looked at Valerie instead .
All others kept quiet realising the question wasn't theirs
                  " who exactly " Valerie asked
                  " Leon " Andrew said
                  " Regarding on what are you asking " Valerie
                  " you said things will change between us if we continued , how comes things have not changed with Leon " Andrew asked .
Valerie turned and looked at him ,  a small smile appeared on her face with curiosity of why he is so intrigued by Leon .
                   " does he bother you that much " she asked
                   "what bothers me more now are your words " he said
                   " and yes ,  he bothers me a lot " he admitted
                   " why so " Valerie asked
For the rest in the car were so silent almost like graves , so surprised by their conversation and wondering when they started to talk so freely on non business issues .
                   " because your my wife " he said
                  " is that the best excuse you can always give to avoid the real answer " she asked
                  " its not an excuse Valerie ,  how difficult can it be for anyone especially you to understand and see that any husband can get intrigued by another man's presence around his wife " Andrew stamped in it .
All the rest in the car were finding it difficult to hide the fact that they wanted to smile or even laugh
                 " is that exactly why you are asking such a question earlier " Valerie asked
                 " are you just acting like you don't understand my words or your just refusing to understand my words" Andrew turned to her asking .
                 " then put it in the words i can understand " Valerie said back. Much as she may have understood his words ,she is finding it difficult to believe
                 " then maybe try to believe more of his words especially the ones he says about me " Andrew said leaning behind .
                 " he says a lot about you ,  things like your a jerk,  prudent ...things of that sort " Valerie said
This triggered everyone in the car ,they wanted to laughed especially Jordy who found it difficult to even breathe
                " No... I get jealous , him being around you makes me so jealous that sometimes i can't take it"Andrew confirmed
Jordy coughed loudly , due to the shock of Andrew's words he was chocked by his own saliva .
Valerie turned looking at him in shock
Andrew looked at her ,  waiting for what she has to say ,  i will say she just had a lot to ask as a fact that for a person to start getting jealous about you he or she just have some sort of feelings for you
