Debby's pov

The next day.... 2:50pm.

"Ahhhh!" I groan softly as I massage my forehead gently.

My throat feels so dry.. I turned and noticed I'm in a soft surface.

I sit up and look around.. my eyebrows draw together as realization of where I am dawned on me.

I'm back in I and Andre's room... how? When did I get back?

I can't seem to remember anything... all I could remember was meeting up with my mom... no, that woman!

If she can abandon me, then it's only right I disown her too.

The door opens and Andre walks in holding a cup of tea and plate of bread.

He smiles when he sees me and increased his pace... he drops the tea and bread on the nightstand and sits next to me.

He leans forward and pecks my lips softly.

"My Angel is awake!"

I simply hum.

"My head is killing me" I complained.

He reaches for an aspirin on the nightstand.. I didn't even notice it there before and hands it to me with a glass of water.

"You should expect a hangover after getting yourself drunk!" He said and glare at me.

I push the aspirin away from me and cringe.

"Take it now or I'll have to do it the hard way!" He told me sternly.

I shake my head and turned away.

"Fine... I guess I'll take it for you"

I saw him take the aspirin... he grabs my face and crash his lips on mine... at first, I thought he was just gonna kiss me.

But I'm disappointed and my eyes grew wide when I realized what he's doing.... I feel the aspirin drop in my mouth and he sucked on my lower lip.

In order to reciprocate the kiss, I had to swallow the aspirin.... I closed my eyes and got ready to suck his tongue and explore his mouth.

But my devilish boyfriend breaks the kiss and pulls away.... I glared at him but he simply smirks and winks at me.

"Andreeeee!" I growled but regrets it when I felt a slight pain in my head.

"What were you expecting, Angel? I just wanted to feed you the drug!"

I glared at him and huffed... I turned away from him.

"Hey, don't try to get angry here.. I should be the one getting angry" he said.

I turned back to him.

"You should be the one getting angry?"

"Yeah.. have you forgotten what you did to me last night?"

I narrowed my eyes.

"What did I do?"

"I bet you don't wanna know... just know you were very bad and I'm gonna punish you!"

Huh?! Punish me?! When I don't even know what crime I committed?!

"You can't punish me without letting me know my crime"

"No! Just know I'll punish you!" He said stubbornly.

Humph! He's tryna prove stubborn... what he doesn't know is, I can easily get it out of him if I want to.

"Andre, tell me what I did last night or you'll regret it!"

He shakes his head.

"No, let's forget about that... you met with your Mom yesterday, what happened?"

Why does he have to bring that woman up?! I crossed my arms across my chest and puffed.

"Angel, what happened?"

"Nothing.. she rejected me!"

Andre frowns... he carries the tea and bread, he hands the tea to me.

He gestures to me to drink it... I guess he wants me to tell him about it while eating... I smiled weakly... my boyfriend is so caring.

But I'm not gonna tell him that or his ego will be so bigger than his head.

"She rejected you? Why? Where does she live? She didn't tell you why she left?"

I take a slice of bread and take a bite.

"She left because my dad was too poor and you know her"

"I know her?" I nod. "Who?"

"Olivia's Mom!"

Andre tensed and stares at me speechlessly.

"Martha?!" He asked.

Oh! So her name is Martha... I nod.

"I didn't know Martha had a daughter"

"Yeah... nobody knows!"

She's ashamed to be my mother.. but it's not my fault that she had me with my dad.

And it's not my dad's fault that he was poor... I mean, my dad was poor before they met and got married.

"I'll meet her and have a talk with her!"

"No! Don't!"

He frowns deeply.

"Why?"

"She doesn't want me and her new family doesn't know about me... I don't wanna ruin her life, since I'm of no use to her let's just be... let's stay out of each other's lives!"

I'm not gonna beg her to accept me... I don't want nothing to do with a gold digging bitch!

"But Angel, she is your only surviving relation left"

I shake my head.

"No, she's not!" I paused. "I have Anna and...." I lean forward and kissed his lips. "You!"

He stays silent and simply stares at me... I narrowed my eyes.

"Or will you abandon me too?"

"No! Never!" He replies quickly.

I laughed briefly.

"I have been surviving without her... and now I have you, so I have nothing to fear and I don't need her"

"But...."

"No but, I was searching for her because I thought she'd be regretting leaving me behind... I thought she had a very good reason for leaving... I thought she'd be happy to see me and ask for my forgiveness and we'd reunite..." I guess I was just dreaming.... she's long forgotten about me... to her, I never existed.

"She made it clear to me that she doesn't need me... I don't need her too. Since she left, I learned to be strong and cater for myself!"

Andre drops the bread and pulled me into his arms... he rest my head on his chest and rest his chin on my head.

"I knew you are strong but I didn't know you're this strong, Angel... You've been through a lot but you don't let any of them get to you, how did you manage to do that?"

I chuckled...

"If I fall down and don't try to get up on my own, nobody will help me up" I replied.

"You are my super woman.... Don't worry, I'm here for you and I'll always be here for you!"

He kissed my head and hugs me tighter, pressing me even closer to himself.

We stayed in that position until my phone rings... Andre reached for it.

"It's Anna!" He tells me.

I takes it and receive the call.

"Anna...."

"PRAISE GOD! SHE'S AWAKE!"

I moved the phone from my ear and wince... I swear this girl wants to double my hangover.

"Can you bring your voice down?"

I can imagine her rolling her eyes.

"I haven't seen you drink that much until yesterday... I thought you were gonna die!"

"Stop exaggerating things, drama queen!"

She scoffed.

"You're the biggest drama queen!"

Whatever.. I'm not in the mood to argue with her.

"Is this the reason you called me?"

"Partly yes, to check if you're still alive... secondly, Lucas is awake!"

"Lu... "I paused and look at Andre.

He's listening to my conversation... because the phone is kinda close to his ear.

I move my body a little away from him.

"He's awake?" I asked.

"Yeah and he's already left the hospital"

"Why did he leave? Did the doctor say he's good to go?"

"Yep... So, I want you to go over to his apartment and check on him"..

"Me?!"

"Yes! You!"

Is she normal? Or is she tryna send him back to the hospital?

If I go there and Andre replaces out, only God knows what will become of Lucas.

"I can't go... Why does it have to be me?"

"Because this is the perfect opportunity to tell Lucas who he is to you!" She explained.

I nod... she's right. If I don't tell him now, there won't be any time.

"Ok..."

"Good, I'll join you guys at a later time!" She hangs up.

I turn to Andre, he's no longer listening to me... He's eating the bread.

"Andre? What are you doing?"

"Eating!" He states.

"I know! But why are you eating my bread?"

"Because I'm hungry and you ain't eating it"

I narrowed my eyes and roar as I charge on him.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry.... I'll pay for it later!"

I smiled and release him.

Well, I should tell him about my going to Lucas's place now before he replaces out on his own.

"Andre, I'm going to Lucas's"

He stops eating and glare at me.

"Calm down, Tarzan!"

"I'm not Tarzan!" He snaps.

I rolled my eyes.

"But you are behaving like Tarzan!"

"I'm not Tarzan!"

"Sure.. whatever you say!" I paused. "I'm not going over to have fun.. I wanna tell him I'm not into him"

He frowns.

"Not into him?"

Is that confusion I sense in his tone? Don't tell me he doesn't know what I mean?

"I mean, I wanna make it clear to him that I don't love him!" I explained.

"Oh!"

This man.. he might be intelligent but his EQ is just too low.

"So, I'll head there now!"

"Ok, I'll go with you"

"Hell no!"

It's gonna be great disaster if Andre goes with me.

"What if he doesn't take it well and attacks you"

"Lucas wouldn't do that..."

His phone's ringtone cuts me off. He reaches for it and frown at the caller's ID.

"Phoebe!"

Oh! I guess it's a business call... Heaven is so good to me.

....

"Fine! I'm on my way!" He hangs up. "Angel, I have a meeting to attend at 4pm and it's almost time. I guess I should head there now"

I smiled brightly and nod.... Just what I wanted, he won't be able to go over to Lucas's with me.

"We both have places to be... go ahead!" I told him.

He narrows his eyes.

"Why do I feel like you're happy?"

Of course I'm happy.. but I didn't say it out loud, I simply wink at him.

I got up and pushed him towards the bathroom.

"Angel, I haven't forgotten about the punishment... I'll come back and push you very hard....."

I slammed the door on his face... I'll freshen up in one of the rooms.

Writer's POV

Glamours time....!

Andre's driver stops in front of the hotel... Andre alight and Phoebe ushered him inside.

A waitress rushes to them with a smile on her face... a flirtatious smile.

"Welcome, Mr Knight... Miss Tick is waiting for you, please come with me!"

Andre nods and follows her... Phoebe also follows but the waitress stops.

"Miss, please wait here!"

"Am I not coming too?" Phoebe asked.

"No, Miss Tick said only Mr Knight can come with me" the waitress replies.

Phoebe opens her mouth to argue but Andre stops her.

"Wait in the lobby, I'll be right back!" He commands.

"Yes, sir!" Phoebe replies and retreats.

Andre nods at the waitress to continue.

"This way please, Mr Knight!"

Andre follows her. After walking pass so many rooms, they finally stopped at a door.

The waitress slots the key card and the door open... she enters and invites Andre in.

Andre stood by the door with a deep frown.

"What is the meaning of this? Why are we meeting in a hotel room?"

"Mr Knight, Miss Tick said you should wait here... she'll join you soon!"

Andre sighs heavily and reluctantly steps in... He look around the room as if he's looking for anything out of place.

But found nothing wrong with the room.. he sits on a sofa.

The waitress pours a glass of champagne and hands it to him... Andre glares at the champagne in her hands suspiciously.

"No, thanks... I can pour myself a drink!"

He takes another glass and pours himself the champagne... He perceive it for a second and take one big gulp.

*It's normal.. nothing off!* He said mentally as he tastes the wine... trying to detect if it's spiked.

The waitress smiles and drops the glass of champagne she was holding.

"Excuse me, Mr Knight.. Miss Tick will be with you shortly"

Andre nods and waves her off.. she leaves. Andre pours another glass and take another large gulp.

**

40minutes later....!

Andre checks his wrist watch and groan.

*Where the fuck is she?!*

He gets up but falls back and rub his eyes... he's suddenly feeling dizzy and having blurry vision.

*Bloody hell.. what is happening!*

His eyes falls on the champagne... he bangs the table.

*It's fucking spiked!*

He tries to get up but falls again.

*Shit!*

The door snaps open... Andre saw a shadow on the floor, he raised his head and saw a figure.

A female figure... standing by the door in nothing but a red lingerie.

He squirts his eyes and take a closer look... he rubs his eyes to help his blurry vision.

He smiles brightly at the female.

"Angel?"

He staggers forward and engulf her in a tight hug.

"My Angel... you're finally here"

She doesn't utter a word but giggle quietly.

"Save me... Angel..." He points at the bottle of champagne. "Spiked... help me sober.. Angel"

"I'll help!" She finally speaks and Andre smiles.
