Chapter 35 The Saturday Vibe

"Good morning, Uncle Jerry!" Andrew greeted him as he entered the white mansion on an early Saturday morning. It was eight o'clock when Andrew saw Mr. Jerry Smith sitting on the porch. He waited for his wife to come out from fixing herself. "Good morning, Andrew! At last we see each other again!" Mr. Jerry Smith stood up and patted his shoulder. "Yes Uncle, been long time!" Imma hang out here the whole day, Uncle Jerry." Andrew said with a wide smile. "I like that, Andrew! So, you can look after Elle."Mr. Jerry said. "Andrew, that's good you are here today." Mrs. Bess Smith said as she stepped onto the porch. "Good morning, Aunt Bess! Where's Elle?" Andrew asked. He sat on the swing while waited for the answer. "She's still asleep, Andrew. Have you eaten your breakfast?" Mr. Bess Smith asked. "Done already, Aunt Bess." Andrew replied, smiling. "Just wait in the living room. Feel at home, Andrew. And also park your car inside." Mr. Jerry Smith said smiling. "We are going now. Enjoy the day!" Mr. Jerry Smith added. "Thank you, Uncle Jerry! Have a great day to both of you!" Andrew said. The two Smith hopped onto their Fortuner and drove their way to JBE Accounting Firm.

Andrew went out to park his car in the garage. He turned off his car engine and went inside the big house. "Oh Andrew you are too early! Did you and Dad meet?" Elle asked as she climbed downstairs. She just woke up with her pajamas. "Good morning, Elle! At last you're awake now! Yes, I met them both before they went away." Andrew said. smiling. He felt happy to see Elle today. "Let's eat breakfast, Drew!" I don't know who cooked the food, whether it's Mom or Nanny Ann but still delicious." Elle said, shrugging. "Hi Nanny Ann! Andrew's here." Elle announced. "Good morning, Sir Andrew. Join Elle for breakfast." Nanny Ann said as she took the plate and utensils for Andrew. "Let's eat, Drew. Ah I'm so hungry now!" Elle said, laughing. "Okay I'll join you, Elle, 'though I was done already." Andrew replied. "Then eat again. It's free." Elle said, rolling her brown eyes. "As usual, Elle," Andrew said, smiling widely. They both ate their breakfast together, had fun conversations with each other.

"You can stay in the Library, Drew. I'll just fix myself." Elle said as soon as they got out of the dining hall. Andrew obeyed. Elle shut the bedroom door behind her. She took a warm bath, dressed herself into a green leggings and a loose blue t-shirt. She combed her long brunette hair and took her phone with her. She closed her door and walked inside the Library. She caught Andrew sitting on the chair with a Science book on his hands. "What are you reading, Drew?" Elle said, leaning over to see what he was reading. "A Science book, Elle. Already done?"Andrew asked, smiling. "Yup! What shall we do now? We have no assignments. Next weekend is the start of our dance practice for my birthday." Elle announced. "We will dance together again." Andrew said, smiling. In their JS Prom, they were both partners. In their Senior Prom, they won as the Senior Prom King and Senior Prom Queen. Everyone knew they deserved the rewards. "What will we do, Drew?" Elle asked. "Let's stay in your Music room." Andrew said. "Okay." Elle replied.

Inside the Music room, Andrew played a sweet song from Ed Sheeran, entitled Perfect. He took Elle's right hand for a sweet dance. They danced sweetly together and Elle felt so calm and protected whenever Andrew was with her. "I wish we are like this forever, Drew." Elle said, resting her head on his shoulder for awhile. "We will, Elle. I'm always with you." Andrew said seriously. He looked at her eyes so intently. He leaned forward and suddenly planted a gentle kiss on her lips. To his surprise, Elle kissed him back. "I love you more than a best friend, Elle." Andrew blurted out. Elle smiled. Inside her heart, she knew she loved Andrew too. "I love you too, Drew." Elle responded. He hugged her so tight and kissed her again passionately. "I know and feel we have mutual understandings, Elle. But I'm controlling my emotions because we are still studying. But this time, I took the courage to reveal my feelings for you. James is a threat to me, Elle. I will regret it if I didn't tell you. When we were sixteen, I started loving you more than a best friend. When we won as King and Queen, when we had that second dance and when I saw you almost turning into a beautiful young lady, my heart had started to beat for you in a different way. But I'm waiting for the right timing. I know this isn't yet the right time for love because we have studies to take care of." Andrew revealed as they stopped dancing. "I feel what you are feeling, Drew. You don't have to be afraid, Drew. Even James is in between us, I know who I love. I appreciate it that you told me this revelation of yours, Drew. I feel so calm and always protected by you." Elle said, hugging him tight. "Now, we love each other more than a best friend, we will wait for the right time to make this official, Elle. Let us enjoy what we have right now."Andrew said, smiling at her. "Yes, Drew, at the right time. I'm not eighteen yet but you already kissed me." Elle said, smiling. She pulled him as she sat on the sofa. "This is a happy Saturday vibe, Elle! Now you're always guarded by me. I don't want to see you around boys, Elle." Andrew said seriously as he faced her. Their eyes met. "And I apologize if I kissed you, Elle. For almost two years, I hid my feelings for you." Andrew said, smiling. He held her both hands so tight, squeezed them and said, "Can I kiss you again?" Elle smiled and said, "For the third time, Drew." Andrew bent down and tasted her sweet lips again. She kissed him back. "You are my first kiss, Drew." Elle said, smiling. "I'm always be your first in everything, Elle. I don't allow anyone to touch you." Andrew said in a serious tone. "What if James will ask me out?" Elle asked. "Tell me everything. Even if we have mutual understanding now, you and I will be best friends and lovers at the same time, Elle. Nothing will change between us. We are always open to each other, Elle." Andrew said with a command. "But official lovers at the right time, Drew. I'm happy we have the same feelings for each other." Elle said. She kissed him again. Andrew responded to her kiss. They hugged each other so tight as they danced again for the second time. "Yes Elle, at the right time." He agreed. "I'm so, so happy, Elle!"Andrew said happily. "Before we go out of the room, I wanna do this with you Elle to show you how much I love you, how much I want to spend my whole life with you." Andrew said. He suddenly held her face and kissed her again for the fifth time in a passionate way. She responded to his kiss with full of passion. Andrew pulled back and smiled at her. He hugged her again like there was no tomorrow. He turned off the stereo and they headed downstairs to watch television show.
