Decieved Souls
She shifted again and continued to rub her thumb over Andrea's shoulder. She was nervous.
Sure, Spinelli had told her that Jason was out of town but she still wasn't sure about how she'd feel being back in the penthouse. She'd lived there for a couple year with Jason…all the memories…
She swallowed thickly and glanced down at Andrea.
She was looking down at her shoes as she kicked her foot out back and forth, now that she came to think about it…she'd been really quiet since the whole Metro Court scene.
"Andrea?" she tilted her head to the side as Andrea glanced up at her, her lips in a little pucker.
"What's on your mind kiddo?" at her words Andrea's eyes went back down to the ground. Frowning she grabbed a hold of her little shoulders and turned her around before kneeling down to her level.
"Come on, you can tell me" Andrea's shining eyes looked back up at her and she started to nibble on her bottom lip.
"Am I really a bastard child?" she seemed to trip over the word and she felt her heart clench in her chest.
One thing she would never, ever forget was Elizabeth saying that…if she so much as came near Andrea again she would beat the living shit out of her. Looking into Andrea's sad, confused eyes she felt a sharp pain in her chest…she hadn't been able to shield her from that bitches nasty words.
Putting her hands on either side of Andrea's face she shook her head.
"Andrea, sweetie you are not…you were…your daddy and I made you in nothing but love ok? I don't want you to listen to anything that woman says ok? She doesn't like me very much and she likes to say mean things" Andrea's eyes were skeptical as she stared at her.
"I'll let you in on a little secret ok?" Andrea's eyes brightened and she quickly nodded leaning in.
"That lady…she's a little crazy" at her words Andrea dissolved into a fit of giggles.
"Really?" she nodded and Andrea covered her mouth and continued to giggle just as the elevator door opened. Walking out of the elevator with Andrea she could feel her heart start to pound faster as she stopped in front of the penthouse door.
"Mommy? Can I knock?" she gave her a small smile and nodded. A couple moments later the door swung open and Spinelli's face lit up.
"Goddess! Mini Goddess! Please enter" he quickly ushered them making her smirk slightly. Once they were sitting down she looked around…it was all…the same.
Taking a deep breath she brushed the thoughts off…it had been five years, she wouldn't let it get to her anymore.
"The Jackal took the liberty to drop by Kelly's and ask the father of Mr. Corinthos sir for his most delicious and highly in demand chocolate chip cookies" she grinned and she looked down at Andrea who's eyes were almost as wide as her smile.
Wow he was a man after both their hearts. Andrea continued to stare at Spinelli.
"Chocolate chip cookies?" he nodded at her words and she let out a squeal before launching herself at Spinelli making him tumble back in his spot. He grinned at her and awkwardly patted her back before his gaze met hers.
Andrea seemed to remember and she quickly turned around to face her.
"Mommy can I? Can I have some cookies?" she let out a small laugh and pretended to think it over. Spinelli and Andrea looked completely adorable sitting together.
"I guess" she said with a shrug.
"Thanks mommy, you're the bestest!" with that she turned back to Spinelli with an expectant look on her face. He smiled and quickly stood up holding Andrea awkwardly out in front of him.
She quickly latched onto him making the job easier for him before he started walking towards the kitchen. He paused and turned back to her.
"Shall we goddess?" she smiled and got up quickly following them.
Andrea of course was chattering away even as Spinelli handed her a little plate of cookies.
"Andrea, why don't you go sit on the couch back in the living room. I want to talk to Spinelli" she quickly nodded and disappeared out of the kitchen. Spinelli grabbed the small glass of milk and quickly darted after.
Andrea's giggles drifted into the kitchen and moments later Spinelli came back with a smile on his face.
"The mini goddess is most joyous and vivacious" she smiled and nodded while crossing her arms.
"She's real outgoing that's for sure" he nodded and he picked up a cookie before hopping up on the counter and taking a bite of it and watching her intently.
Where to begin? How was she supposed to bring it up…she wished she'd planned this out better. Clearing her throat she decided that she just didn't have the patience to go in circles.
"I've been thinking lately…a lot about how things ended between Jason and I" at her words Spinelli's eyes widened and his mouth fell slack. He quickly recovered however because he had food in his mouth and he continued to chew.
He nodded but didn't say anything obviously knowing she still wasn't finished.
"I mean…I know that it was the best choice for me to leave because the way things were going between Jason and I was just…destructive. But…I just, I'm trying to make sense of how we got there" he tilted his head slightly his eyes probing into her.
He was obviously thinking about her words even as she continued.
"I knew Jason…well I mean I'd like to think that I knew Jason, and I know myself. The way things happened between us…the things we did…to each other, it doesn't really make sense to me" he nodded and he quickly downed the contents of his cup.
"The Jackal is most pleased that the Goddess has finally become conscious of the situation that has always puzzled the Jackal" her eyebrows furrowed.
"You noticed?" he gave her a small smile and nodded.
Wow shes starting tio realize somethings dont make sense. I mean we all know sam and jason would have never done those things. The writers just screwed it up. Well next chapter lets just say the shit will hit the fan then that fan will explode into millions of pieces. Anyway i hope you enjoyed the chapter enjoy and dont stop believing.
