THE BATTLEFIELD OF LOVE
Part 29's. Trauma 5's
If not for Andrew's father's help there's no way Eliza could have entered Ottawa with her team. But obviously it was also because of General Gillian who finally gave us the way so that it could be normal again. They are both the helpers of our family.
Alexsey drove us away later. He offered his driver to take my car while Andrew took his own, and he understood my condition was not at all comfortable with him.
"Alexsey seems to be fascinated by you." Andrew smiled teasingly at me, trying to find a conversation while we were already in the car walking and I kept thinking about why I suddenly had this embarrassing panic attack.
"The Russian mafia is too complicated to understand. He said he had met me. I never remembered a single thing about me meeting him. He's a big liar, playboy, kidnapper."
"You guys ever met? Did ya? Where's?"
"No I don't think it's mostly just his writing. I can't believe what he's saying." I looked at Andrew. The man who seems to be fascinated by this brother, if I had the chance. "Haven't talked about him, he sucks. Thank you for helping me. I didn't know my panic attack could show up at the sight of red wine, it's embarrassing."
"We're like family, don't thank me." He thinks of me as a brother. I'm not his type. I breathe with sadness. Once I'm considered a carrier of the virus, after this I'll be considered mentally disabled, maybe I should move to Europe and look for Italian or Spanish men only. I like those who are busy and excited.
** This part was before Andrew was shot.
"Alexsey asked me details about you. That's why I know for a fact that she somehow likes you. If a man asks if someone already has a lover or not yet clear there is a sense of like."
"I don't care. What matters is that he doesn't bother me. The playboy has a beautiful blonde who's always with him." Andrew immediately grimaced as I mentioned the blonde.
"It seems you've met a lot with the blonde." I satirize Andrew who seems to be fascinated with Anna.
"Sometimes Alexsey sends Anna to the party office or to party events if she's busy. Yeah, I've talked to him a few times, so I said he's not who you say he is. He's Alexsey's right-hand man, not a private secretary to be exact."
I don't care if it's true. After seeing me have a 'mental disorder' like that maybe now he will back off like the others.
Shortly after, we arrived.
"Thank you for driving me. I don't know what happens if there's no you."
"Don't thank me again. We're family okay. Rest, I'll go home now.." Andrew finished parking my car and was about to leave.
"Alright, be careful." I waved and watched him leave with a long sigh.
Suppose he sees me as a little girl, not a family. But it doesn't seem like it's going to happen, as he says he thinks I'm family.
