Andrea Frause's Pov

I closed up the restaurant and walked outside expecting Adriano but I saw Romano waiting

I approached him in a questioned face

"Where is Adriano?"I asked

"We have a business meeting today"he informed"we are invited for quick a drink with Mr. and Mrs.Saleh"He said

I glanced at my watch its 10 pm

"Can you drive?"I asked looking at him sweating

"I can manage Frause now get in"

I obeyed and got on

While we are in the car,there was an awkward silence.

"You want to ask something?"He  asked with a furrowed eyebrows

I guess he noticed I kept looking at him

"Why did you do it?"I asked

"did what?"He asked

"You got what you wanted thats why you moved to someone else...but why do you have to hurt me further?"I send anticipating answers

he clenched his jaw and stared straight

"You said it,I did it because I got what I wanted,Im not hurting you you just get hurt because of your feelings"

A lump was painful in my throat

"You cruel, cruel bastard"I managed to say parts of the words in my head

"I suggest to forget your affections and lets get on with our business"He said keeping his eyes straight and I noticed the car ran faster.

We were greeted by the couple inside a bar with only us in and one bartender

"Are you alright son?"Mr. Saleh asked looking at Romano

He smiled

"Its nothing,Im fine"He replied

Then we started drinking finally!

I took shots while they chat until I got tipsy.After talking me and Romano walked to the car and drove home.The silence was painful.As we got at home I went to my room.I sat on my bed with a low laugh

You really are a fool!

The next day the routine went on I ate my breakfast alone but this time they did not flirt because Romano did not leave his room.

"Talk to him"Lily said

I just looked at her passively

"He insists on working he is very sick"

"Why dont you do it you're the loved one"I said,but inside I am very worried

She was silent and walked away 

I went upstairs to grab my bag then I saw him in the hall way

he halted to look at me,I ignored him then continued to grab my bag

I got out and saw him leaning on the stair  railings

I walked pass him but his loud difficult breaths halted my legs

No..Andrea ..No

I shut my eyes tight and looked at him

"Put your arms on my shoulder"I said

"Go away Frause I can take care of myself"

"Will you stop being stubborn or I'll let you roll down these stairs"I said but still he opposed in silence
