"Hurry, I'm waiting for it." Daniela came in and crossed her arms in front of Xeno and Andrea.
Oh boy, we're in big trouble is she's angry.
"I-i just talked to Xeno about..."
Xeno immediately stood up to face Daniela.
"I'm sorry about everything, about Andrea, Ms. Snow. I asked her is she wants to tell me everything about what happened. It's too bold of me." Xeno closed his eyes, waiting for Daniela's hand to land on his face......and it did.
"You shouldn't bring back what already happened, you asshole! Even if it's a big deal or not, you shouldn't let her bring back the past she always wanted to forget!"
"Daniela! What is wrong with you? I'm fine, really." Now Andrea is mad well, knowing fully well that it's her fault bringing back her own past.
Daniela raised her hands to punch Xeno but she holds back herself and sighed heavily. She straighten her messed up shirt before walking towards Andrea.
"Babe--." Suddenly, Daniela hugged her tight.
"Goodness! I was worried sick, you bitch! I always told you not to talk about it but you and your hard head? I don't know what to do with you anymore." Andrea felt a sob from a woman hugging her. Daniela's crying.
"I'm sorry I got you worried, babe. I'm fine now." She let go of her and seeing Daniela's messed up face makes her giggle a bit.
"What's funny?"
"You should see your face in the mirror."
Daniela slid her hand to one of her jean's pocket to get her phone. When she had a look at her own face, she gasped.
"Shit!" she immediately slid her hand again to another pocket and to Andrea's surprise, she brought a small make up kit with her. Well, what can I expect from someone who owns Snow Corporation, a company that specializes on cosmetics.
Xeno didn't know where to sit or just stand. He didn't mind the slap earlier but he's afraid Daniela might lashed out at him again.
"Now you know about Andrea past. Does what happened to her disgusted you? Does the thought of having her near you makes you think she's crazy?"
Andrea felt a sting in her heart when she heared what Daniela said. She knew to herself that her story is disturbing, if someone knows about it, they might feel disgusted to her as well. She lowered her head in embarrassment.
"What? No! Of course not! I didn't care about what happened to her in the past. I accept her for who she is, I don't give a fuck about what happened. All I can think of is how can I kill that bastard who did that to her!"
"Xeno." It is what Andrea can only say.
Daniela smirked after hearing what Xeno said.
"Very well, Mr. Louindelle. Good thing you thought about that. Actually, I'm investigating this matter with my own hands. Andrea Nicole is my best friend, I can't just let her past slip away....You see Mr. Louindelle, I want revenge as well. If you want, you can join your team with mine. In this case, we'll catch Ryan in no time. How's that sound?"
"Great. Thank you, Ms. Snow. I'll let you meet my assistant, although his name is Ryan as well. He's not the man we're talking about."
"Okay, good."
Andrea is overwhelmed with warmth when she saw her best friend and 'boyfriend' taking her side.
"Thank you guys, I don't know what to do without you."
"You're always welcome, babe."
"By the way, Daniela, how did you know I am here?"
"Well.. I called you earlier because I want to tell you something but then a doctor answered your phone telling me that you dropped it and said you're hospitalized. I drove her as fast as I could, I defied the traffic lights and almost hit a car but you know...all's good." Daniela showed them a peace sign and smiled.
"You're reckless! What if you got into an accident?! Huh?" Andrea exclaimed.
"But I didn't."
"Almost! Daniela, be more careful next time. God!"
"I know. And I texted the girls, I assured them that you're okay so they didn't have to come here."
"Oh, Mr. Louindelle. What did the doctor said about her condition?"
Xeno looked at Andrea first before switching his gaze to Daniela.
"The doctors said she need a therapist. She experienced great trauma, the next attack might get worse. She needs to seek for medication." Xeno said.
"I'm fine! I don't need medications. And I can take care of myself. I know it takes time to heal but I can do this. I want to face my fear." Andrea was sure she can take care of herself.
"Andrea babe, I know you can take care of yourself. Listen... I need you to meet a therapist just about 2 hours a day? The doctor said the next attack will be worse... I don't know maybe if you'll be here again, I'll probably get into an accident."
Xeno saw Andrea was threatened by her own best friend.
"Okay! Okay. I'm meeting a therapist but just 2 hours a day."
And it worked. Xeno thought.
"Good. For now, get some rest. I'll asked the doctor if you'll be discharged later." Daniela turned to Xeno. "And you, Mr. Louindelle. Take care of my friend." with that, Daniela walked out of the room.
"Now, some say I'm crazy." Andrea said.
"They'll face me if they say that. Darling, is Ms. Snow the one that you said that was investigating in your place?"
Andrea nodded.
"Okay. Now get some rest. I'll be out to get some food for you. I'll be back for a minute." Xeno kissed her cheek before standinf and walked out of the door.
.....
"I'll get going, babe.. Mr. Louindelle, I assumed you knew her place. Take her there. I'll contact your assistant later." Daniela hugged Andrea once again before driving off with her Ducati motorcycle.
"She's a badass." Xeno said.
"She is. You know, she's the first person I knew here in Denvor. She accompanied me. She's the best." Andrea said, reminiscing the times she and Daniela had.
"I see."
Both of them drove to Andrea's place.
"I'm okay now, Xeno. You can go."
"You sure, darling? I'm still not convinced you're okay." Xeno with his concerned look.
Andrea held his hand.
"I'm fine. I'll text you when something comes up."
"Okay. Take care, always." They bid their good byes and Xeno didn't drive when he assures that she got in safely.
.....
It's 7 am when Andrea woke up. Yesterday is quite tiring. After she got home, she received texts from her worried best friends but she assures them that everything fine.
She received a text from Lucille, saying that she should meet them in Beverly Cafe. The other girls are waiting as well.
Andrea can't say no since they owe them an explanation as well. Of course, she can't tell them the whole story. Out of all her best friends, only Daniela knows what really happened to the past. Others just knew that she experienced domestic violence, nothing more.
She prepared herself and wore a simple flowery dress that can fit the vibe of a beach. Then she drove off.
It was 9 am when she reached the Cafe. The weather is good, windy. When she walked towards their table, she realized that someone's missing.
"Angel's on her trip to Paris. Her parents wanted to meet her there. It's quite urgent." Kendys said.
"Okay."
She explained to them what happened yesterday and as usual, they scolded her just like what Daniela did.
"You should really be careful, Andrea. Thanks to Xeno, he immediately assisted you." Jenevic said.
"Yeah, I know."
Daniela is just sitting in the corner, sipping her own coffee and eating her slice of cake.
"By the way, I wonder what's with Angel's parents. You know, like she just told me that her parents arranged a marriage for her. She got it tough." Lucille said.
"Hope she get through it. She's insisting that she won't get married because it's a hassle." Ladyheart said.
"Yeah." They all agreed. It seems like they already forgot what happened to Andrea and just chatted about Angel when suddenly a group of men enters the Cafe.
"Well, well, well. Look who's here." A man came from nowhere and sits beside Lucille. It's William.
"William! What the heck are you doing here? Didn't you see that there are other tables around? I have guests so fuck off!"
He raised his hands up. "Woah. Easy there, love." William looked at the ladies in the table and realized that they're all looking at him. He felt embarrassed and stood up quickly to introduce himself.
"Well, hello ladies. I'm William Larmborg. The son of the owner of the Lamborghini Company. Pleased to meet you." He handshake all of them and when he was about to handshake Andrea, Xeno blocked him.
Andrea didn't noticed that Xeno is already beside her.
"Back off, William."
William's face is now full of amazement.
"Ohh.. Looks like you're Xeno's girlfriend, milady."
"What? She is?" The other men said.
But what surprised her is that....
"What the fuck are you doing here, Delvin?" Kendys said
"How rare to see you, mademoiselle." Delvin said.
"Hi, Eurry baby. You knew I was here?" Jenevic said.
"Ahm not exactly hehe." Eurry said.
"Dave, didn't you say that you have work today?" Ladyheart said.
"Sorry, babe." Dave said.
"Oh my goshh!!! Lexxyy sweetheartt!! You're here!." Daniela excitingly said and quickly ran to Lexx's side and clung on him. It shocked them all.
"Oh great!" Lexx angrily said trying to push away Daniela but he couldn't.
"Xeno my boy.. So these are the guests that we invited for our Lexxy's birthday! I'm so glad to finally meet you all?"
