Settled Hearts by Duckie4rmabove

Chapter 4

"Mommy!" Jonathan yelled breaking the silent between his parents, as he came running to his mother that he missed so much.

"Honey" Mai's heart skipped a beat as she saw her son again. Mai bend down to catch Johnny's hug as he ran towards her.

"Mai...I can't believe you're here" Andy still a little shaky from what just happen. He looked at his son and how happy he looked. Andy was also happy to see Mai again, she looked more beautiful than ever, her eyes, her features, and her body hasn't changed a bit he thought.

"Better believe it! I'm here!" Mai said cheerfully and gave him the thumbs up.

"Hey... Johnny can you leave me and your mother to talk in private?" Andy shyly asked.

"Sure Father...Mommy, are you going to stay for a while?" Jonathan asked one last question.

"Of course" Mai brushed a piece of hair out of his face.

"Yay! See you later Mommy" he gave her one last hug and ran upstairs.

"You got a very nice place here Andy" Mai said after she watched Johnny run upstairs. She stood up and looked around the big beautiful house.

"Thank you". Andy didn't take his eyes off of Mai

"Don't worry Andy, I found myself a nice hotel to stay at, and I just here to see my son and give him something" Mai walked to Andy where he was still dumb struck.

"Mai... You look beautiful" Andy finally managed to say.

"Thanks Andy" Mai looked at Andy with sweet caring eyes.

"Mai...stay here tonight" Andy cupped her cheek and leaned closer.

"Andy" Mai pushed his arm away and directed her view to another direction.

"Mai! What happen?" Andy's eyes caught noticed of a scar on Mai's back near the shoulder.

"Nothing, I was just clumsy" Mai quickly covered it up.

"Was it the man who attacked you and Jonathan?" Andy wasn't going to let this go. His wife was hurt in the battle and he wasn't there to do anything about it.

"How did you.....Jonathan told you all about it didn't he?" Mai answering her own question.

"Not everything" Andy put his hands on Mai's shoulder and led her body closer to his.

"Andy... Why did you leave me?" Mai finally asked.

"Mai............ you know I didn't leave you... I called you every now and then to tell you" Andy was shocked but he knew he had it coming.

"Then you like just America better than Japan?" Mai put her head down.

"Don't take it like that Mai... I was going to come back to Japan soon as I finish my business" Andy tipped her head up so they were face to face.

"What business do you have in America that you can't do it Japan?" Mai looked into Andy's memorable eyes.

"Mai... just trust me ok?" Andy leaned in to kiss her. They were inches away before Mai pulled away.

"I have to go Andy" Mai turned around and started waking.

"Why do you insist on treating me like a friend when I'm your husband" Andy grabbed Mai's arm before she got too far of a distance for him to reach.

"I have to check into my hotel before it gets to dark" Mai made an excuse.

"You can stay here with me while you're in America" Andy made a hand motion for the servants to take Mai's luggage upstairs to his room. Mai turned her head to see the servants following his silent instructions.

"I don't want to bother you" Mai turned back to face Andy which was now holding by her shoulders.

"Once again Mai... I'm your husband...not your friend... I'm not someone you can run away from...I'm always going to be here for you through happy and tough times" Andy was hurt that his own wife was saying this, even though she had every reason and right to say all these things.

"Yah... you're just not here for the lonely times" A drop formed in Mai's eye.

"Mai...how long are you going to stay in America?" Andy changed the subject. He was going to prove to Mai that he will be there for her the days she's in America.

"A week or so?" Mai not very sure about that herself.

"Ok, then we got plenty of time to talk" Andy wrapped his arms around her. It's been so long since he had her around his arms and close to his body. He missed her so much, but he never showed it, even when they were dating he never really truly express his feelings to her.

"Ok, I am tried, and I reek of combination perfume" Mai showed a grinned.

"I'm so glad you're here Mai" Andy once again moved closer and his hand slid up to Mai's neck. Their heads tilted and their eyes slowly closed, Andy held her tighter and closer, their lips pressed. Signs and feelings drowned Andy's body, he felt warm and good inside. Andy hugged Mai tighter and Mai accepted his closeness by letting her hands find their way around Andy's muscular waist. Mai finally pull apart and let Andy have confusion in his eyes.

"I... Andy...I missed you so much" Mai finally admitted what she didn't want to. Mai tighten her hold around Andy's waist, Mai laid her head on Andy's chest and savor the moment.

"I missed you too Mai" Andy whispered into Mai's ear.

One of the servants interrupted by imitation a cough. "Master Bogard you have another visitor"

"You mean she was that the visitor that came this morning?" Andy looked up with Mai still attached to him.

"Oh she was the woman who came by today, but you have a new visitor now" Mai let go of Andy and turned around.

"Ok show Mistress Mai to my room please" Andy smiled at Mai and refusing let go of her.

"Yes Master Bogard at your command" the servant bowed and Mai followed the servant up the stairs.

"Andy!" a bouncy girl came running at Andy. As Mai heard this she stopped at the top of the stairs where Andy wouldn't see her, but she can see him.

"What are you doing here?" Andy asked immediately as he backed away.

"Mistress?" the servant confused at why she had stopped, but understood when he saw what she saw.

"Andy! I was just wondering if you train me... personally... like one on one?" the girl asked

"You didn't have to come to my house to ask me that" Andy stepped back as the girl got closer and closer.

"Well my phone wasn't working" everyone that heard that knew it was a lie.

"Look... I don't do private training... but if really want to I can find you another personal trainer that will suit you better" Andy got scared

"Andy! I want you!" this girl's persistence was like Mai's. She grabbed onto the Andy's arm. Mai moved a bit, but caught herself before doing anything stupid. The servant caught this and he decided to do something about it.

"Master Bogard.......I'm sorry to interrupt you" the servant came down the stairs."Mistress Mai wants to know if you two are going to sleep in the same room" the servant came up with the stupidest question ever.

Andy knew what he was doing and he was thankful for it. "Yes... Tell her I will be up in a minute"

"Mistress Mai?" the girl thought that Andy didn't have a girlfriend.

"Excuse me, but I have someone waiting for me. My servants will show you the way out, I'll see you next week in class" Andy smiled as like nothing just happen and he started towards the stairs.
