"Diana, what are you doing here?" Andrew questions from the kitchen before we even notice her, while he quickly lifts his brief and shorts that were on his knees turning around to face me and placing us on a corner of the kitchen.

"You forgot this at the hospital," I hear the girl responding, her voice getting louder as she approaches us, "I thought you wi- oh!"

She stops probably finally intercepting Andrew's back in this awkward situation.

I can't see her, Andrew still in front of me for some reason, hiding his front as well yet I'm sure she can figure the situation.

Vulnerably, the first thing coming to my mind is why is he hiding me?

"Diana, please go to the guest room," Andrew orders, with his back on her and turning his head to see her.

"What? why?" She whines.

"Just go, you left some of your things there go pick them up", I hear the girl complaining while going to the room, I wonder if the pinky bag is hers and suddenly I remember where I have overheard her name before.

A time ago he was entering the apartment talking on the phone with her. I feel my blood rising, my cheeks getting red, my temper getting hotter. Is she his girlfriend or something? I wish I could say I don't care but all I feel is my blood boiling in jealously, and clouds inside my head pondering what will happen next. If he will dismiss me to be with her, if I will be hearing excuses, worst if I will see them showing any kind of affection. I feel hotter with every thought and colder at the same time.

Does she have black shiny hair as well? I couldn't observe her with Andrew's chest in front of me, I can only presume, maybe he will hide me now? God...

"Come", Andrew tells me walking on my side in the direction of his room, I keep my head low during the way, I feel I'm performing the walk of shame until he speaks again, "It doesn't matter how sexy I find you wearing just my shirt," he starts and I feel his finger grazing my waist, "it is not something my sister should see", he finishes whispering in my ear.

I raise my head, his sister?? Oh- Agape, I finally gasp for air, thank God I can breathe again!

Andrew closes the door and while I start dressing, he goes take a shower, a cold one I assume.

I'm dressing, taking some deep breaths to calm my nerves, I was so high on jealously, I couldn't recognize myself, and now I start freaking out because I will meet his sister. We finish dressing and leave the bedroom.

I shift my head scanning each corner of his living room, though his sister isn't there. I place myself on a stool, nervous and ashamed about the circumstances I'm meeting her.

If she has arrived five minutes later- don't fool yourself Kelsey if she has arrived one minute later she would probably catch us doing it.

Andrew calls for her before entering the kitchen. He starts cleaning the frying pan I have used before and I still can't believe he tricked me once more, burning my omelet.

"You seriously still use this crappy shampoo?" His sister comes from the guest room, with a paper bag in one hand and a big bottle of shampoo on the other, the same bottle Andrew took from his bathroom yesterday.

"Hey, let my shampoo in peace," he complains, turning to examine her for a second before turning back on his kitchen duties.

"Andy this cost like two pounds for this huge bottle and..." she uncovers the bottle and takes a sniff of it frowning right after, "it smells like fruit, it's girly".

I giggle at her statement, she has clearly lightened the atmosphere, and I decide to hold to myself how much I adore the smell of his shampoo. I always thought it was something fancy, he has such pretty and soft hair, it seems well-taken care of.

"Don't call me that you know I hate it, and the shampoo does its job just fine, it is even better that is cheap".

"I can't believe you go to business meetings smelling like a girl, please buy yourself a nice shampoo," she demands in a firm tone, crossing her arms on her chest.

I watch her place the shampoo on the table, if he will throw it away, I will take it for myself, so I keep my eye on it.

She endures calling him Andy, though I believed his family called him Drew, as he asked me to call him once...when we were doing stuff.

I'm thankful they don't, it was kind of creeping me out presuming he wanted me to call him something his family does. Does his mother call him Andy as well? I hope so. Maybe now I will finally be able to call him Drew, knowing it is not related to any mommy issues.

His sister finally turns to me, recognizing I was there the whole time, her smile assures me she didn't do it on purpose.

"Hi, I'm Diana", she politely offers her hand to shake.

"Hi, Kelsey", I smile back at her, shaking her hand, and she grins shifting her head between Andrew and me.

"You forgot this at the hospital", Diana approaches Andrew with the bag, "it has two shirts inside." She completes in a teasing tone earning a pointed look from Andrew.

I keep observing them, Andrew rolls his eyes at her, catching the bag from her.

"So, who is the lucky person receiving the second shirt?" She requests and I don't understand what she means, why she is teasing him with a smirk on her face, while Andrew is visibly annoyed.

"Not of your business Diana," he says, and she pulls the bag from him, harshly, taking a look inside.

"Kelsey, do you support any football team?" She converts the question for me now.

"Yeah, PSG why?" She grins wilder now facing Andrew that rolls his eyes again, taking the bag from her hand once more and opening it.

"Yes, Kelsey and I are going to the match tonight", he tells his sister, and I observe him taking something inside the bag, "here", he gives me a shirt.

I gasp opening a PSG female jersey, the last edition, "wow, thank you", I tell him smiling, sure my eyes are sparkling.

I have an old PSG jersey I even brought with me for the game but this one is so much nicer. I notice the other jersey in his hand, it is larger and it looks like a Chelsea one. He bought us jerseys for the match tonight, PSG and Chelsea, I can't avoid smiling brightly at his thoughtful act. He has really thought this through.

I look back at his sister who couldn't be grinning wilder at us.

"So, what are you preparing for us, Andy?" She asks again, leaning against the counter, and man, I'm enjoying this girl and how she is able to get under his skin.

Andrew groans, "I'm preparing breakfast," he then starts talking while moving around the kitchen, "for me and Kelsey", he finishes highlighting our names.

"I'll be staying, you know, that right?" she says and then walks inside the kitchen as well, "you might just accept it and I will help you prepare more food, it will hurt less". She turns winking at me, and I start laughing at them while Andrew keeps frowning. She has such a playful character; how can she be his sister?

She starts cutting some vegetables, I realize they both frown when they are fully attentive to something. She has her tongue between her teeth meanwhile she is cutting super-fast, like a professional chef making me feel even worst about my cooking skills.

"Argh", she cried, and I spot her bleeding hand, damn did I stare at it with too much jealously?

"Dammit Di!" Andrew scowl at her taking her hand and placing it under the water, "Why were you chopping it like that?"

She pouts, "I watched it in a cooking show, it seemed easy", Andrew snorts with her excuse.

"Easy? Nothing using a knife is easy, you could have really hurt yourself!" He speaks louder now, getting mad.

"I'm sorry Andy", she lowers her head while he finishes washing her finger and then take something to wrap around it.

"Go sit there with Kelsey", he orders her in his bossy tone, "you two are banished from the kitchen for good", he finishes firmly.

Diana grins at me, "so, you are banished too?" I nod at her and she gets all happy again completely forgetting about her bleeding finger.

"How did you guys meet?" She restarts conversation after a minute of silence, it is obvious the silence bothers her and I wonder how old is she. I would assume between eighteen and twenty years old, but sometimes, like now, she looks younger.

"Uhm...Andrew needed a place to stay so..." I answer, scratching the back of my head, uncomfortable for an unknown reason, "so, he is living in my apartment," I start clumsily, realizing what I have just said, "I mean...not mine, mine, and my brothers' apartment, and he is staying in my room..."

I gulp before continuing, I have transformed it into the worst possible version of it, giving the wrong idea of me and him living together, in the same bedroom.

"Dammit", I exclaim, hitting a hand on my forehead when I watch both laughing. "What I meant is-,"

"I guess we understood what you meant Kelsey," Andrew interrupts me, "I couldn't explain it in a better way," he completes grinning and swaying his head.

"He is a friend of my brother", voilร , I could have started with it, and finished with it. Only then did I realize the other problem, a friend of my brother. I'm sleeping with a friend of my brother and his sister is no fool to believe me and Andrew are just friends, at least not after the scene she saw when arriving.

I got nervous again, ashamed of the situation however she doesn't seem to mind or think anything of it, maybe it is just me overreacting.

We ate breakfast together, they persist in bickering each other, especially Diana, she obviously enjoys teasing Andrew and it is a comic scene to see.

"You are in such a cheerful mood", she mentions watching Andrew attentively.

"I'm always in a good mood," he returns.

"No, you are not, and you were incredibly grumpy last week, more than usual," she completes inspecting him with piercing eyes, she has green eyes as well, but darker than his.

"Seriously, he was insufferable", she finishes glancing at me with a smirk now.

"It was a hard week, and now is the weekend so I could sleep", he presents her a pointed look while having another bite of omelet and chewing. I decipher the annoyed expression in his eyes ordering her to drop it.

Although she is stubborn and advances, "no is not that, last weekend you were impossible as well, it must be something else", she taps her finger on her chin as pretending she is thinking and then she smirks at me again. I'm completely lost, trying to figure out what all this is about.

Andrew has enough so he gets up and starts taking his dishes to the kitchen when Diana's phone starts ringing.

"Oh," she blows getting pale and raising her eyes to Andrew after she verifies who is calling her. She gets up to take the phone call, but Andrew's gaze is clearly advising her to take the call in front of him.

"Hello?" She almost whispers, and the fear is clear in her voice, "yes, it is me", the person in the line continues talking and her expression starts morphing, her breaths steading, she is nodding and smiling now, her eyes on Andrew full time.

"Oh, that's great! Which room is she now?"

"Ok, thank you, bye." She finishes the call smiling at Andrew who keeps his pondering gaze on her.

"She is out of the ICU, she is out of risk Andy!" She shouts, her eyes glistening when she jumps hugging him. I watch his arms holding her tightly and his chin on her head, it is hard discerning in his position however I swear I see a smile on his lips, a genuine one.

I smile at the sign of them even if I have no idea what it is about.

She had mentioned the hospital before, directing me to figure someone important, a woman is in there having a severe condition. I have no idea who is though and what exactly happened. I don't want to meddle, it is definitely a personal matter and if he wants to share it with me, he will. It is probably the reason why he came to London.

I check my phone while they are both discussing the matter, doing my best to give them some privacy, and then I go wash the dishes.

Diana leaves after I finish it and Andrew proposes taking me to visit London before the match.

We don't have too much time, not enough to access any museum, unfortunately, so we take a walk close to some of the monuments.

While strolling, I get stupefy discerning how much attention Andrew gets. Is it always like this? The female population basically stop walking to gawk at him, I swear I saw some drooling when he was smiling and pointing to some places for me to view.

I know he is hot, he is freaking handsome, outstanding and it doesn't matter where we go it continues and it is annoying. I believed I have never spent this much time with him before to notice all the attention he can get.

I'm mouth-watering when I spot the London eye and for a second, I believed I could convince Andrew going on it but then we detect the line. And hell is it too long, I should have bought the tickets in advance.

Pouting, we finish our tour, walking along the Thames, I locate the London bridge from afar and it feels ridiculously magical, I do aspire to walk until there and I'm determined by it until Andrew's hand catches my arm halting me, and he states we are going to be late to the match.

We leave directly to it, taking Andrew's car to go and wearing the jerseys we have brought over our shirts. We can't miss it, of course, so I will obviously have to come back to London another time to visit it.

We are well placed, and even in the stadium I detect some girls trying to have Andrew's attention and I ask myself if he notices it, if he reciprocates it.

Our central places enable us to view the entire field and I doubt if the players could hear my screams.

Neymar is injured again allowing Chelsea to play offensively, and we are not being fast enough to counterattack. I feel before it happens, Chelsea is being able to enter in our area too many times and in one wrong move of our defense, they score.

I watch the whole stadium standing up and celebrating, people screaming and jumping.

I must confess it was an amazing kick, even if it was against PSG, and watching it alive joined with their chanting is magical.

Andrew is grinning at me, pleased his team is winning while my humor is dropping.

I finish the beer he has bought me in a gulp, when I feel him beating his shoulder against mine, grinning again.

"Shut up", is the only thing I'm able to tell him, before dropping the matter and enjoying the game again. I won't deny the ambiance is amazing, they are screaming and singing, and I keep wondering how it would be if PSG was winning.

Andrew couldn't be happier, the game ends 1 x 0 for Chelsea after they scored the PSG coach arranged the team defensively, making it difficult for Chelsea to score again, and as well for PSG to score on their own. So, the game ended with Andrew teasing me and me pretending to be mad when in fact I'm smiling, having a great time.

Our plans for tonight are to meet his friends at a pub and we pass at his apartment to take a quick shower and change before going.

I don't care we are only going to a pub, I decide to wear a simple yet sexy black dress because I won't spend my whole night jealous of all the girls staring at him and feeling insecure about myself.

Accessing the pub, I grin feeling Andrew's hands on my waist taking us to meet his friends, during our way over here I caught him often checking me out, and since we left the car his eyes didn't leave me.

We arrive close to a table in a corner and I spot two guys seated there, both smirking at Andrew and me.

"Well, well, well, heeellooou", One of his friends says in a playful tone.

"Kelsey, this is Noah", Andrew shakes his head and points to the playful guy, "and this is James". Both guys smile at me when I tell them "Hi".

Once we are in our places, they start interrogating me and I attempt to reply to their questions the best way I can, even if I'm feeling uncomfortable.

Andrew strives to change to another topic each time, but Noah insists on focusing on me.

We order food and drinks and concerning all the fuzz the guys are doing, I gathered Andrew has never brought a girl in their encounters before, the same impression I had from his sister earlier. Has he never had a girlfriend?

I excuse myself to go to the toilet, I found it is located not too far from the back of where Andrew and I are seated. His friends are funny, yet I felt uneasy with some of their questions and how many smirks they are able to reproduce by a minute.

I leave the toilet, walking slowly in the direction of the table, some fake plants are covering it from my vision and I'm grateful for any minute I take away from their interrogation.

Once I'm close enough to the table, I recognized Andrew's voice speaking, "It means nothing, stop hallucinating." My stomach twists with his words, assuming they are talking about me, resting quietly while they remain discussing.

"Come on man, you have never brought a girl before, she has to mean something", one of the guys asserts, and I suppose it is Noah.

"I'm telling you, she doesn't, we are not together she is here with me for tonight and that's it."

My head spins with the information, Andrew proceeds to divulge some nonsense about how he doesn't do relationships and how nothing has changed because he doesn't believe in it and it just gets me sicker.

I welcome the urge to run away, even if nothing I'm hearing here is new. I know we are not together, but it hurts hearing him. I thought I meant something at least.

I'm running in the direction of the exit, not apprehending what I'm doing, without a plan or a place to go. Arriving at the door, I detect a voice shouting my name, driving me to go faster until a hand catches my arm stopping me.

I stay still staring elsewhere, firstly believing it was Andrew who has stopped me, but it isn't his touch.

I watch some guys outside smoking and laughing, when the person asks me," you have heard him haven't you?"

I turn around facing Noah now, I simply nod before I spin around again, rubbing my arm with my hand, warming up from the fresh wind. The warm weather has changed, nevertheless, I don't care I'm decided to leave, I can't stand being here.

"Wait!" He catches my arm again, and I return at him annoyed.

"What?"

"What if I have more information about him and what you have heard?" I bounce my shoulders, I'm not sure I'm interested in hearing excuses, but it intrigues me when he speaks again, "and if I have a proposition for you?"
