Prologue
Her feet were sore. She danced and then danced some more. She was so glad she agreed to have Dylan hook her up with a room in the Bel Age Hotel. As she waited for the elevator to get the top floor she unbuckled her heels. She was happy though. Maybe, David and Donna since they waited so long to get married they won't end up like her and Jesse. Married quickly. Then, baby Hannah followed. The ding of the hotel jolted Andrea out of her thoughts. With her shoes in one hand and her room key in the other she just wanted to take off the dress and just relax.
Andrea opened the door. She dropped her shoes. And, was working on her zipper of her zipper.
"Hey, Chief" she heard from where the bed was. She didn't need to turn around. She would recognize that voice anywhere.
She was nervous. She doesn't know why. This is Dylan. They are just friends. Who is she kidding? That is like saying Andrea and Brandon were just friends in high school. Speaking of he did look good in the video. But, why did Andrea have it? Have she seen him? Did he ask about her? And, there is Dylan. He looked better. Don't focus on that. Focus on the crowd dwindling and Dylan is here. And, you are here. And, you and Dylan are here.
"Excuse, me Dylan I forgot to tell Donna something" Kelly lied. She just had to get away, away from him. And, besides before Donna went on her honeymoon Donna or David can give her some advice. She hopped out of her seat and headed for Donna who was next to David on the phone. "Donna, can I talk to you before you and David leave?" whispered Kelly not to disturb David. "Yeah, sure" said Donna. She motioned for David that she was leaving his side and walked towards Kelly. "Let me guess, this is about Dylan," said Donna
Thoughts flooded her brain. Brandon was here. Yes, she was happy. But, he was in her hotel room. Confused but happy. Her head was spinning. Many questions. Andrea was trying to ignore these questions. She isn't a journalist anymore.
"Ace, what are you doing here? You told me because of work you couldn't be here" said Andrea who still messing with her zipper. This zipper is going to be the death of me, Andrea thought. But, Brandon got off the bed and helped her. "I took the first plane out. I didn't expect to finish early. I did the Congressman with his speech my story two days ahead of schedule. But the wedding was over and the reception was too, I assume. So, I figure I will surprise you here" he said.
That was so sweet Andrea thought. "Thanks" said Andrea who went over to her suitcase. She found her two piece shorts and tank top that had Bugs Bunny saying , "wussup, Doc?" on the front. Brandon got it for her a couple months ago. It was one of her favorites. "Not a problem. I am just sorry I didn't get here sooner," said Brandon back on the bed. He was removing his work clothes now. "I am going to change take off this make up and you are going to explain how the hotel let you in my hotel room" said Andrea. She hoped he didn't say anything. Andrea hurried to the bathroom. She wanted to keep her distance. Even with her dress falling she got to the bathroom first. Andrea closed her eyes tight. Her chest was beating so loudly. She bet Brandon could hear it outside. "Andrea, you already know how I was able to get access to your room" said Brandon standing outside the bathroom door. After a couple seconds that felt like eternity Andrea open the bathroom door to be greeted with Brandon in his boxers and shirt that said, "Mr. Write", a shirt that Andrea got him a couple months ago. Before any more words were spoke Brandon kissed her. Andrea was afraid of that.
