Chapter 189 - Christmas Eve
Andromeda glanced at her sleeping husband that has few band-aids on his bruised body. She exhaled as she glanced at the calendar. It\'s already after one early in the morning. Christmas day. They were supposed to have a nice dinner and watched movies and make love until this time, however, a sudden turn of events just break all those plans.
She felt like she\'s been stabbed many times as she recalled the incident a while ago. She nearly lost him. She nearly lost herself. She exhaled. If he will die, she will probably die with him. It will be more painful than the time that he left her.
Every day, thinking that he will never come back? It would crush her heart every day. It would crush her slowly until she will not think straight and would just end the pain. She slid off from the bed and strode to the walk-in closet. She reached the drawer hesitating a little until she noticed the ring that she\'s wearing.
She removed the engagement ring and stared at it and she just noticed letters craved to it. She frowned and then went to the other table where his tools are located. She took the magnifying glass and peek on it to the carved letters. It\'s long and lots of words.
She read it word by word. "My dearest Andy. I will never let this chance get away again. I will never let you go until I die. I will always love you forever and always."
She chewed her lip as she clutched the ring. She put it on and went back to bed and then turned off the lights. She snuggled up to him and he woke up and then winced a little from few body pains. He ignored it and hugged her.
"Hey, my love?" he murmured.
"I\'m sorry… did I hurt you?" She asked and nearly smacked herself for being impulsive.
"No… I love hugging you." He murmured.
"We didn\'t have a great Christmas eve." She murmured.
"Don\'t worry, there\'s still a New Year\'s Eve." He planted a few kisses on her forehead and then to her face.

Selina slipped off from the bed and strode to the bathroom. She exhaled and changed her pads and then washed up. She hated it that she got her period on specific dates. She badly wanted to make love to him but this stupid period is on the way. Now, he\'s asleep and they were supposed to make love until the day breaks.
She proceeds on washing up and then she went to check her calendar. Just a few one more day and it will be back to normal. She went downstairs to prepare breakfast and serve her lover. He loved heavy breakfast and so she prepared a pancake sandwich with bacon and egg.
Just when she\'s finishing up and ready to deliver it to their bed, he strode to her in messy hair and only wearing a pair of PJs. He\'s awake and his eyes are still drowsy. She smiled and let him hug her from behind.
"You are awake so early?" He murmured.
"That\'s because of my menstruation. Don\'t worry," She turned to him and reached his face. "When this red period ends, I\'ll give all of my attention to you."
Fin smiled slowly and sexily. It always makes her heart flutter and her eyes twinkle and hugged him. But she kept staring up at him like a little child admiring something precious. He started at her in the same way and he started kissing her face nonstop, showering her with affection.
"So, where are we going today?" She asked.
"Where do you want to go?"
"My mom said that she will prepare lunch and we should be there."
"Then, we need to buy something for your mother." He caressed her hair in a very precious way.
"Okay." She grinned. Then she turned to the foods. "You need to eat first. I don\'t want you to get thin." She planted light kisses on his chest and grinned at him.
"Let\'s eat." He kissed her top head. "But before we go out, I need to check on a few things first."
"No." She pouted at him. He patted her head.
"Baby, I need to check on a few things. It will only take thirty minutes."
They sat down on the breakfast stool and eat. She\'s frowning at him yet she ate every food he fed to her. After that, she washed the dishes since the maids are out for their holiday. She didn\'t expect him to help her and he told her to take a bath and get ready.
She did take a bath for fifteen minutes and then went to her closet to choose what to wear. She chose something very simple since she\'s not in the mood to dress up well. Girls will never notice the time so when she got the dress, he\'s just got out of the shower. Then he chooses simple clothes. A tank top and his leather jacket and pants the one that would shape up that sexy butt.
She smiled and smacked it. Then he turned to her. She giggled. But then, he reached the dress and helped her put it on. He also pushed her down to her dresser seat and dry her hair. She smiled and let him then he braid her hair shortly.
"Let\'s go."
"I haven\'t applied any makeup yet."
"Just put on some cream and moisturizer." He kissed her top head. "I\'ll just ready the car." He kissed her lips and went downstairs.
She glanced at his phone on the corner and ignored it, then she continues doing whatever she needed to do. It didn\'t take long and when he hasn\'t come back to the phone, she took her purse and unplug the charger and took it.
It started vibrating, he got a call from an unknown caller. She rushed downstairs when she thought that it was an emergency and she called him, she accidentally tripped on her shoes but he\'s fast so he caught her.
"What are you doing?" He steadied her up and she exhaled and gave him his phone.
"Maybe it\'s an emergency." She said.
When he looked down at the ID caller. His face darkens and he didn\'t answer it. He turned off his phone. He knelt down and fixed her shoes and check her ankle and knees. When there\'s no scratch, he opened the car door for her and helped her settle.
He looked down at his phone and checked the message from that person.
Unknown: I am already in the Philippines.
He didn\'t reply and he walked around to the driver\'s seat. She looked at him for a while and keep herself quiet.
She\'s now thinking if it\'s his ex-girlfriends? Or is there a problem? Was it really a woman or his family? Fin noticed her and he patted her head.
"It\'s my cousin. You don\'t need to know about it. Okay?" He kissed her forehead.
"Okay." She was relieved.
Fin wouldn\'t cheat on her, right? Besides, he said that he loved her and maybe it\'s just all about work.
She trusted him and she already gave her all to him. Even her heart that has been hurt, she would still love him. He\'s the very best thing that she ever had.
"Fin… I love you, already." She reached his hand and pouted at him. He smiled and kissed her hand.
"I know. And I love you too." He reached the seatbelt and put it on her. "Be a good girl, okay?"
"I will be a good girl." She winked.
He laughed and turned on the engine.
