Person In Charge

I looked at Andrew who invaded my house as if it was his own.

"What is wrong?" Andrew asked as he kept everything on the kitchen table. "Don't wait there and sit. I'll fix something for breakfast."

I was still at a place till Andrew flicked my forehead. The pain brought me back as I looked at him with wide eyes. Why was this man being so sweet to me? Was it because of the text? Is it not possible? Is he an actor? Did the switch get turned on because of the text?

I rubbed my forehead as I looked at the watch. Andrew had come so early to my place.

"I will get ready first," I said as I hurried into the room as I closed the door. He held the phone tight.

My mind was a mess. Did I text something wrong yesterday in my sleep? I searched through the text, only to realize that I haven't. I just told him that I agree.

'Then why is Andrew behaving in such a loving way? Don't tell me he is in the zone?' My eyes widened as I realized that it might be true.

I took a deep breath as I walked towards the washroom to freshen up. The man was already in my house and I could not avoid him further.

I hurriedly got ready as I walked out of my room. The first thing I saw was Andrew standing near the table arranging the sandwiches on the plate.

"It looks good," I said as I sat down. Andrew did not sit as I saw him walking towards the kitchen counter as he poured something in the glass and brought it back.

When I received it I thought it was water but who knew that it was fruit juice there. My eyes widened. I did not have fruits at home. Did Andrew bring it all? I was so confused.

"Eat up," Andrew said as he sat in front of me. He was smiling as he dug into his plate enjoying the breakfast.

I was a little afraid to eat the sandwich. But looking at Andrew's satisfied face I took the risk. What could happen? I might die. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes and had a bite. The taste was not bad. Not bad at all.

It had the freshness that was making me realize that it was a fresh breakfast. Maybe something that would keep me awake the whole morning. And before I knew it I had eaten a lot. And soon my plate was empty. When I moved towards the glass to drink water I realized it was the fruit juice.

Why do I feel like a baby taken care of? I smiled at my silly thoughts. I was getting ahead of myself. Andrew would never have feelings for me. It was not that I wasn't confident in myself but because of the time I had spent with him, I could tell that he was a man who did not get involved with people unless it was extremely necessary.

Andrew's tone was always straightforward. It was not rude but not gentle as well. It was in between where he was distant.

"So what is the plan?" I asked as I looked at Andrew. He had finished his breakfast and was looking down at his phone. I wasn't a lot concerned about it as I knew that it was very logical. After all, Andrew worked with the President. He might be a busy man.

"Plan, for now, is going to work," Andrew said as he got up picking the plates. I was embarrassed as I made him work in my house. I hurriedly got hold of the plates but Andrew did not let go.

There was a smile on his face as if he was enjoying the moment. "Leave it to me. You should get ready." Andrew looked at the wall and as I followed his gaze I realized it was time to leave the house.

I nodded as I let him take the plates and I ran into the room. I could not afford to be late anymore. I got ready and moved out only to see Andrew had made the place as clean as possible.

'It is not bad to have Andrew as a boyfriend.' I thought, 'Fake boyfriend!' I corrected it in my mind. It was just fine to take advantage for the time being right? It will not harm me.

I smiled as I realized that my thoughts were getting sinister. 'Get a hold of yourself Rose. You are going crazy.'

"Let's go," Andrew said as he held my hand. I was frightened at first with this sudden skinship but then I saw Andrew's reaction. The point was the man had no reaction at all. It was as if everything was too natural for him.

'Maybe he was a man who had a lot of experience in this.' I told myself as I shook the unwanted thoughts out of my mind.

Andrew wanted to make me comfortable with this small touch. I guess he was too serious in fooling his parents and after yesterday night I knew I had to do it too.

We walked near his car as he opened the door for me. I sat down and our journey started. I wasn't expecting a lot of communication to go down in between us but surprisingly Andrew was the one who started talking.

"So Rose, we need to get to know each other." Andrew looked at me but my mind was blank. I swallowed hard.

Did he just call me Rose out of the blue? I was okay with people calling me by my nickname but shouldn't they ask me for my permission first? Even though we have decided to act lovingly it was too much for me to handle in a single day. I need to get hold of the situation.

"Drew what do you suggest?" I said with a smile. I knew I was looking sarcastic and to be honest I was feeling powerful when I saw the color of Andrew's face vanish in thin air.

'Now I felt like a person in charge.'
