Chapter Seventeen

Andrew's POV

I didn't care that her boyfriend  just walked through the front door, I moved after her but before I could get to the foot of the stairs, Miles was in front of me.

"Where do you think you're going?" He asked.

"Get out of the way Miles," I told him, not ready for any physical altercations but if he wanted one, I'll give him.

"You're in my house Andrew, so where the fuck are you going?" He rose his voice.

I sighed and stepped away. "To meet Victoria, now move."

We were fairly the same size so I could easily take him on but I know if I dared do it, Victoria would probably hate me more so I kept my rage in and looked between him and the stairs.

"I'm not letting you go near her." He stated.

"I was already near her before you barged through the door so fucking deal with it!" I wanted to throw something anything, especially at his face.

God I hated him!

"Why are you here Andrew?"

"She told me to come remember? Now will you get out of the way I need to talk to her." I pointed upstairs where I'm sure Victoria was balling her eyes out.

I really need to speak to her.

"No, she needs space." He said it as if he knew what was best for her.

"Miles I've known Victoria all my life, I know when she needs space from me or not so please move!" I pressed my palms together. I couldn't believe that I was begging this asshole.

"I'm not moving. If she wanted to see you, she'd be down here." I really needed to punch him, I really did.

"Fine, you don't want me to talk to her then you tell her of the deal we made." I stood in front of him.

He's not going to be able to do it because if he does, Victoria is going to be pissed at him, really pissed and she just might walk away from him. She may not turn to me but she will turn away from him.

"I'm not going to do that?" He shook his head.

"Oh really? Then you're a coward because you know how she's going to react and it's not going to be in your favor."

"It's not going to be in your favor either so what's the point here?" I could see his shield dropping.

He was scared of losing her just as I was. Now he knows how it feels.

"She deserves to know the truth, all of it and if you're not going to tell her, I will." I pointed upstairs.

He sighed. "I will tell her myself."

"Will you really?" I looked away then back at him.

"I will. But you need to back off, I'll handle this myself."

"I'm not backing off from her Miles, not again. I'm not that stupid anymore." I heard a door upstairs close and we both looked at the stairs, expecting Victoria to show up any moment.

"You need to leave Andrew." He whispered now.

Her footsteps were heard loudly on the floor as she descended the stairs and stopped at the foot of it.

I didn't want to get Victoria worried especially at her condition so I sighed and looked at her. "Fine," I gave her an apologetic smile and walked out of the house.

As I stepped out I sent him a message on WhatsApp.

You have three days.

He didn't respond immediately but thirty minutes after a message came from him.

Deal.

Victoria's POV

I cannot believe him.

He really completely gave up on me, he was never going to come back if I didn't reach out to him.

Who are you to judge, you moved on with Miles.

I pushed my thoughts that were in every way and sense true and I really don't have any justification for my actions.

We both gave up on ourselves and if anyone should be angry it's him because I moved on completely.

We both broke our promises to each other so it's fair to say that we are equal but damn the truth still hurts, like a mother fucking bitch.

He came back, that's all that matters.

Am I ready to go back to him?

I am but can I?

No, because I'm with Miles now and if I leave him to go back to Andrew, that'll only make things bad for Miles.

Who said anything about Andrew getting back with you? I doubt he'll want anything from you but the baby.

Fuck! I fucked up, big time.

This is all my fault, if I had only kept my legs shut both times I would still have Andrew in my life.

I'm a whore, the biggest one alive.

What was I thinking when I slept with Miles?

If they were to give a trophy for the biggest fool alive, I'm sure I'd bag it. I'm always making decisions without thinking.

I wiped my eyes and stepped out of my room only to get my heart beating way faster than it ever should when I heard Miles' voice.

I ran down the stairs and stood by the foot of the stairs. Andrew and Miles were face to face and none of them said a word to each other.

Andrew looked my way and sighed. "Fine." He gave me an apologetic smile and walked out of the house, leaving Miles and I alone.

"Victoria, are you alright?" Miles rushed to me, examining my body.

"Miles, Andrew wouldn't physically hurt me, especially pregnant." I told him and he paused. "What just happened?"

He sighed. "It's nothing. Come on, let's go back upstairs."

I didn't have the strength to argue with him, I was already physically exhausted. "Why are you here so early?"

"The guys had to go somewhere and I didn't want to go with them so I came back. Besides, I wasn't comfortable leaving you all alone." He explained.

"Miles I've told you a million times, I will survive without you for over five hours." I reminded him.

"I know," he chuckled.

Back in our room, he tucked me in bed and switched on the TV for me then asked what I wanted to eat. I told him and with a nod of his head he went downstairs to go prepare it.

I couldn't help but think about Andrew. I need to talk to him, to apologise. I was the one who told him to come and somehow I pushed him away again.

I asked for honesty and I got it then I overreacted. After all that was what I asked of him and he delivered. I was just hurt at that moment and I'm sure if I explain to him, he'd understand.

I just need to find a way to talk to Andrew without Miles knowing. It's not that Miles won't let me talk to Andrew but he won't let me out of his sight for one minute.

I understand Miles is just trying to be there for me but sometimes I actually need my own breathing space, he chokes me at times.

Miles returned with my food and I had to pretend that all was well.

***

It's been two days and no word from Andrew, not even a blink. I looked out for him all the time but I got nothing. He's been offline ever since too.

Apart from obsessing over seeing Andrew, Miles has been acting strange ever since that day.

First he didn't ask what Andrew and I talked about which is definitely unusual. He's supposed to ask me then I'm supposed to tell him.

Second he's been distant, like something is on his mind which leads me to believing that when I walked in on both men facing each other, it wasn't just Miles telling Andrew to leave but they probably talked about something else.

I want to know what is going on but Miles doesn't even give room. Asides from when we're sleeping at night, Miles is hardly beside me. He's either in the living room or he quickly stepped out to do something which is suspicious for someone who could hardly let me out of his sight.

He's definitely hiding something and I'm going to find out.

"Babe?" He called and I looked up from my phone.

"Yeah?" I watched him walk towards me. He leaned over and planted a kiss on my lips.

"I'm sorry, I have to go out. I'll be back soon." He said without waiting for a response from me and he was out of my sight.

We were supposed to lay outside together by the pool and just hang out but now, something is up.

I waited till I heard him drive out before checking if Andrew was online and to my surprise he was.

I sent him a quick message.

Andrew we need to talk.

He replied within seconds like he always does.

Where should we meet?

I'll text you the address.

I got up from the lounge chair and headed inside to change.
