Chapter 5:
She was frozen to the spot, her eyes had grown wider, she was white as a sheet her knees where starting to turn to jelly (jello). Where her eyes playing tricks on her or was the man that she was in love with over four years ago stood right in front of her. Both stood looking at each other what felt like a life time, all of there lives together where playing in there minds like a movie on super fast forward.
Andy blinked a few times taking in the man before her, same blue eyes, same brown curly hair the some what strong jaw line pointy nose everything only a few years older. Donovan Boyd started to move closer towards Andy she still could not move due to the shock. When he was stood right in front of her he cupped her face and placed a tender kiss on her lips.
Just the shock of the kiss made Andy's knees buckle from underneath her; she collapsed onto the bench. She closed her eyes as a single tear fell onto her cheek, his hands still on her face. After a few seconds she opened them and looked him in the eyes.
"Donovan! How-why-who-me?" Each one of her words catching in her throat unable to string a sentence together. A smile spread across Boyd's face finally being reunited with his Andy the one person he let go, the woman he told to move on with her life no matter what.
"I knew it was you I just knew it! The second I heard the words whack-a-doodle I just knew. I didn't believe my ears or my eyes. When I came out the office and seen you round the corner. I had to find out if the truth that my mind was not messing with me, I've thought about you everyday and now I can stop thinking now that you're here again."
"Donovan please I need a second to take this all in." Andy said as she removed his hands from her face. "It's been four year since I last seen you, four years since you walked out of my life to work undercover, and now your back. I have all these questions rolling around my head I just don't know how to get them out."
"Andy it's ok we have all the time in the world to answer each others questions, but right now all I want to do is hold you feel your touch on my skin, kiss your tender lips." At that point he moved in for another kiss this time only placing one hand on her cheek but Andy turned her head and put up her hand to stop him.
"I, I can't do this right now Donovan I just cant, I need to proses all this plus I need to be some place. I need to meet."
The door to the locker room swung open and Gail and Traci almost fell in over laughing at something when seeing Andy and Boyd talking to each other and the tears in Andy's eyes and seeing his hand on her face they stopped. Boyd spun round to see who had walked in and Andy putting her head down to hide her face Boyd stood up.
"Look Andy, we really need to sit down and talk. We need to know what has been happening with each other, I've never stopped loving you, see." He took the chain out of his shirt and held it up so that she could see her ring. "It's always been close to my heart Andy and always will be." Replacing it back into his shirt he started to walk away before Andy called his name.
"Donovan." She also pulled out the chin that was around her neck and showed him his ring and that it still laid close to her heart too.
Gail and Traci moved quickly towards there friend as Donovan Boyd walked through the door and out of site. Both girls sat down on the bench and looked at Andy with there mouths wide open.
"What the hell was that all about?" Traci said as she looked at Andy hand on face to show her shock.
"What was that guy talking about Andy? About still loving you and something about a ring close to his heart? Dose Sam know anything about this?" Gail was making the actions of the chain swinging. Andy's face was still drained of colour and full of shock from seeing her ex fiancé that she never really heard her friends speaking to her.
"Andy, talk to us! What was that all about? Gail tilted her head to the side.
Andy's head shot up and looked at both her friends getting up of the bench at the same time and closing her locker she took off running.
"I have to go; I need to go after him." Traci grabbed her arm before she could really get any were.
"No you don't young lady, you need to change first and tell us what the hell that was all about. And what ever it was looks like it's really upset you. We're your friends Andy talk to us maybe we can help."
"None can help me with this problem this time. This is something I need to deal with on my own. And if I do need help ill ask Sam." Andy on the advice of her friends opened her locker and changed quicker then he had ever done before, quicker then if she was late for parade. Grabbing her bag she flung it over her shoulder and ran out the door.
It was like the door to the penny was going to fall off the way Andy swung it open, she glanced around looking for Sam when she seen him sat at the bar with Oliver she made a bee line for him. As she approached Sam caught sight of her and turned on his stool.
"Hay here's my baby, your drink my lady." He picked up her drink and held it out to her. She took hold of it and downed it in one; she slammed it down on the bar and looked at him.
"Can we please get out of here? I really need to get home now." The tears where starting to form again in her eyes.
"Baby what's wrong? Why are you so upset?" He placed a hand onto her cheek and she tried to bury her head into it.
"I can't handle this I just need to be home please Sam." Her eyes where pleading with him to take her home. In response Sam took out his wallet and put a few bills on the bar and got up off his stool.
"Hay ill catch you tomorrow man!" Oliver said as Sam pattered his back as to say sorry. Sam grabbed Andy's hand and as soon as she felt it she took off dragging him behind her. On getting to the truck Sam unlocked it taking her bag from her before pinning her to it.
"Andy talk to me, what's the matter? You look as if you've seen a ghost and you're shaking, is peanut ok?" He pulled her in for a hug but she did not respond, she was like a plank of wood lifeless and cold. Sam let go and opened the door for her, she jumped in without a word. Sam climbed in besides her glancing at her before he started the engine and took off driving.
The drive home may have only been a few blocks but the truck was filled with an awkward silence that Sam just could not take, Andy was never like this. He had never seen her act this way before and he was started to get a little worried for her.
