Chapter 44 The Honda Civic

Andrew drove their way to Phoenix University. He held the steering wheel on his left hand while the other on Elle's. She just allowed him to hold her hand while driving. "Why on Earth you suddenly fetched me for school, Drew?" She asked, confused. "Because I want to be with you all the time, Elle. From now on, I'm going to fetch you and I'll be the one to bring you back home." Andrew said, squeezing her hand. "Is that okay with Dad?" Elle asked, smiling. "Very much okay. He told me to take care of you." Andrew said seriously. "I'm always guarded now." Elle blurted out, laughing. "Yes, you are." Andrew said. He stopped on the corner side of the road. He looked at Elle so intently. He bent down and kissed her gently on her lips. She kissed him back. "Thank you for responding to my kiss, Elle. I know we love each other more than a best friend but we've been so smart to control our feelings for each other." Andrew said after they kissed. "My lips are not virgin anymore, Drew." Elle said playfully. "I apologize for that but I cannot control my emotion. I want to kiss you more and more, Elle." Andrew revealed. "Just kiss, Drew. Not more than that." Elle reminded him. "Of course, Elle. I know my limitation. When your Dad gives us blessing that we can level up our relationship, then of course we'll do something more." Andrew teased. "Andrew Smith!" Elle shouted. "Don't worry, Elle. At the right time, we'll do it, once we are ready for a family." He gave her a wink.

Elle fixed herself. He waited her to come out as he opened the car door for her. "You always treat me like a princess, Drew." Elle said as she got out of the car. "Coz you are always a princess to me, Miss Elle Smith." Andrew replied. They went to Az building where most of their classes held. Elle smiled as they both entered the room. Her classmates smiled back, time to start a new great week in the university campus. Elle and Andrew spent time together in and out of school. He made it consistent in fetching her from home to school, back and forth with his blue Honda Civic. Elle only saw James during Math class but they seldom talked. They were both busy and had different class schedules so they had no time to patch up. He messaged Elle with greetings but not like before that they could talk longer hours. "This is the college life! And I'm glad Andrew and I have the same course. So, I'm fine with him. I'm just so comfortable with him ever since." Elle pondered as she glanced on him at the corner of her eye. Andrew caught her stare and said, " What's that stare for?" He swerved to the right and pulled the brake. They were almost at Elle's residential area. "I'm just so lucky to have you in my life, Drew." Elle said, she bent down and kissed him. He held her face and kissed her with full of love and care. "I'm always with you, Elle. That's for a lifetime." Andrew reassured her.
