****Chapter 9****
His words eccohed in my mind: 'you're fired''you're fired' 'you're fired' you're fired'!"What?!Why?!"I demanded, I was in complete shock. I had been a good worker, hadn't complianed,and had a good attitude with the customers ...what did I do wrong?! "Because...I can't do this to an employee" he whispered leaning in and giving me a long kiss on the lips. I frooze up, he wrapped his arms around my back and I finally relaxed and returned the kiss. We were floating in our own world, nothing else mattered. It was just us, our lips and our..tongues!!!! 'Holy crap, his tongue is in my mouth!" I thought frantically. Slowly our tongues began to play tag inside my mouth, everything was so right! I was kissing him, he was kissing me and best of all no Reika! REIKA! Suddenly I pulled away making him groan in defiance."Wh-what about Reika?" I asked twidling my thumbs."Didn't I tell you? I broke up with her last night!" Andrew whispered.I thought hard then it hit me: when Andrew had said he and Reika had a good talk I thought he was saying something else entirely...he was really saying that they had broken up! I felt like such a moron but I was happy none the less. "Come 'ere you!" I whispered pulling his tie until we were lip locked again. His hands rested on my waist and my arms wrapped around his neck pressing him against me. Sudden'y we heard a small:"ewwwwwwwwwwww....Uncle Andrew!!!", we pulled apart and looked down. Vianna was standing next to the entrance of the kitchen her nose crinkled cutely. Andrew and I laughed, "hi Vianna" I said waving at her. Vianna's eyes grew wide then she smiled widely,"yipeeeee!No more Reika,no more Reika!" Vianna chanted skipping around us as we smiled. It was like I had a small little family: Andrew was my huspand, I was the wife, and Vianna was our daughter. Molly had found her heaven now I had found mine. I sighed and buried my head into Andrew's chest.Finally my world had come together. Then we heard the dinging of the sevice bell and it shattered my little dreamworld for the moment. "That would be for me" Andrew groaned, we kissed each other on the lips quickly and then he went to attend to some customers. Vianna smiled up at me,"you think you can show me how to beat Uncle Andrew's score on the racing game?" she asked. I smiled and took her hand,"sure can!" I told her as we raced each other to the racing game. I was showing Vianna which peddles to push to go and stop when I felt a light tap on my shoulder. 'Uh-oh jealous ex-girlfriend at 12:00!' I thought as I found myself looking into Reika's eyes.I looked at her worriedly, she lifted her hand,'here it comes..the slap!' I thought bracing myself."You've got yourself a good man Aino" Reika grumbled putting her hand out for me to shake.I blinked a couple times with astionshment then smiled and took her hand. "Yeah I know, I'll take good care of him" I told her shaking her hand. "YEah, I know you will" Reika smiled then walked off. "Oh bye the way he's ticklish on his inner thigh" she called as she walked off.'What would I need to know that fo...OH' I blushed when I finally realized what she meant."Um, Mina..a little help here" Vianna mumbled, I looked up on the screen, her car was spinning around in small circles before it blew up. She looked so funny with her lower lip puckered out with disappointment that I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Vianna joined in with me then I showed her how to really drive her race car. By 8:00 she had already bet my highscore and was working on Andrew's, then I remebered about the airport. It would take about an hour to get there and I had to hurry up and ask Andrew for a ride before it was too late."Andrew, do you think you could give me a ride to the airport, I have to send Mom and Jamie off!"I called to the back the storage room where he was locking things up. "Yeah,sure lemme get done here then we can go. Can you get Vianna out to the car for me?" he added sticking his head outside the storage door. I nodded then looked at Vianna, she had just beaten Andrew's highscore, "Let's go kid" I muttered, she took my hand and we walked out to the car. Andrew joined us shortly and we speed off to the airport. We arrived at 8:54, just enough time to say farewell to Mom and let her meet Andrew."So, you're Mina's mom nice to meet you ma'am" Andrew said sticking his hand out for a shake. Mom surprised him by giving him a big hug and kiss on the cheek. "You take good care of my girl you hear!" she said, Andrew nodded and put his arm around my wasit as Mom and Jamie boarded the plane and we waved goodbye.I looked over to a nearby airport bench to see Vianna fast asleep, I poked Andrew on the shoulder and pointed. He smiled and scooped her up then we went out to his car and set off towards my house. We put Vianna to sleep on my couch then looked at each other. "Well, what should we do know Miss.Aino?" Andrew muttered wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled at him evilly and draged him to my bedroom. "Now you be nice Mr.Furuhato, I know where you're ticklish!" I teased,he grinned and shut the door behind us.
