Andrea's POV:-

Today is the day I lost her.

I met her after I came back from a mission after a year. I tried to push her away but she just decided to barge into my life unexpectedly and filled my dark life with her bright smile which gave me a reason to wake up every day. I tried to avoid her, but she had to sit right next to me and be my project partner for the whole year. Every time I looked at her, she took my breath away. She made me a nervous mess inside. That outgoing personality of hers and her blushing every time I tease her. That annoying habit of calling everything I do cute and getting turned on by seeing me punch the shit out of people, her words.

At first, I just thought that she is good-looking but as I got to know her, I started falling for her. 

I walked down to a park which isn't crowded. She used to go to parks to clear her mind. I even bought one of her favorite red velvet cupcakes. I saw a white kitten with grey patches resting on a bench where I was sitting. She looked up at me and I just ate my cupcake. She glared at me to move but me being me didn't. I glared back at her while she walked towards me sassily.

Flashback

" Rose, what are you doing?" I look up to see Katherine looking around and then finally at me. I take a look around.
Shit!!
I have made a huge mess of the kitchen.
"I...I " I feel like a child caught stealing candy.

She raises an eyebrow at me. I sigh and say,
"Okay fine, I was trying to make breakfast in bed for you but am failing miserably because I don't know shit about it. I made a mess" looking at burnt food which didn't look edible, pouting a bit.

I hear a snicker and look up, she is trying to control her laugh. I glare at her. She laughs harder.

"Don't laugh at me" I whine.
"You were trying to be romantic," she says teasing.
"I wasn't, it is because your lazy ass was sleeping" I shrug looking elsewhere.
"Oh please, your Google tab which was open says something else, you look so cute when you try this kind of stuff"

"I am not cute" I scoff.
"For me you are"
"I am an assassin, I kill people so I am anything but cute"

I smiled looking at her without knowing that this would be one of my last happy moments with her.

End

I was broken from my trance by a small movement beside me. The cat was stretching her paws and putting her head on my lap. I look at her with a raised eyebrow and she plainly ignores me.

She doesn't have any band or any kind of sign of the owner. Should I keep her?

I lift her and look at her and she looks at me with the same blank face.

Yup.. keeping her.

She lifts her paws to my face and dabs my cheeks. I didn't realize when that tear rolled down. I put her back on my lap and look up while closing my eyes which could stop this nuisance. She did not remove the other paw from my hand. I need to pull myself together.

I miss her. Her memories are fading and I do not want to let them go. I need her. It's getting tiresome now. I feel guilty for all the words left unsaid. I do not know how long I will be able to live with the regret of not saying that I love her. 

I brought this upon her. I should have left her alone when I had the chance before. I was being selfish wishing for a fairytale while knowing about the nightmare. I should have known the ending. 

This is all my fault. I think this is what people call Karma.

This is what I deserve after killing these many people. 

Stop being pathetic. Stop victimizing yourself. 

I feel a few pats on my hands which wakes me from my session of self-pity. The kitten was trying to make herself comfortable. She takes my hand and places it on her head. I rub it as she closes her eyes and looks relaxed. I unconsciously smile looking at her. I do not even realize when the time flew away while I was with this kitten.

I take her to the vet to make sure she doesn't have any kind of problem, he said that she is underweight. I go to the pet store and bring all the stuff needed for a cat. I also adopted her.

I suddenly realize that I didn't inform the others.

They will manage, I guess.

I see her sleeping without the care of the world. She looks cute. I unconsciously smile a bit again.

Did I just say cute?
Never mind.. she is.

I go inside the house with the sleeping kitten in one hand and her stuff in another. I just wish to get her to my room without anyone noticing. 

But to my luck, everyone was in the living room. I see everyone look up and come towards me but back away as soon as they notice the cat except for Rhett.

"Aww, so cute," Rhett says smiling widely at the cat.
"What is that thing doing here," River says while doing a hand movement.
I walk towards them and they back away and say
"Don't" in unison except for Rhett who is playing with the kitten who is looking at him like she could kill him.

I definitely like her.

"I adopted her," I say in bored.
"You did what?" Enzo said and I heard a meow from my side. She was looking at me with a face 'SAVE ME'. I wanted to laugh but she glared at me and I took her from Rhett.

She put her head on my collarbone and rested. I looked up to see everyone looking at the kitten carefully.

"What's her name?" Rhett asked.
"Oreo," I say while River snorted.
"Any problem?" I ask him with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes, that creature is not staying here."
"She is staying where I am," I say in a tone where there is no room left to argue. 

I see Ales observing me too. I don't think he told anyone about our talk. I said too much yesterday. 

I went into my room, cleaned her up, and placed her bed beside mine and all of her things in my room. I also put her extra stuff in the cupboard and got into my bed. I saw my and Katherine's pic on the nightstand. I was just staring at it. I honestly don't know why.

I felt a light tap on my hand and the owner of the paws was looking at me with big eyes I just laid down there and Oreo cuddled up to me. I surprisingly slept through the night without those dead ocean eyes haunting me.

________________________

I LOVE HER, SHE HAS BEEN THERE WHEN I NEEDED HER. HER SIMPLEST WORDS HAVE BEEN LIKE A BLANKET PROTECTING ME FROM THE COLDNESS AROUND. I HOPE SHE COULD SEE HERSELF FROM MY EYES. I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER NO MATTER WHAT.

(So what do you think? Should I add a new love interest or not? I love Katherine so I want to know if you want someone or should I just focus on her relationship with brothers?)

(About the quote, I wrote this while taking inspiration from someone, and when I asked her about her opinion, she could not believe that I wrote this and I was seriously offended. I do love her but right now I hate her. Great faith you have in me dude!)
