Chapter 9: He loves me too!!

I was shocked was an understatement, but my eyes were full of tears which were flowing. constantly. I realized that it was my turn so I knelt down at his level and started speaking.'you have taught me the real meaning of love. I never realized that love can be in so many forms but with you every small act feels like a lovable gesture. You broke the walls which nobody had broken till now. You taught me that I can have faith in myself, that I am beautiful,that I can believe myself. Your family taught me that with money we can still be down to earth and can be our true self. You are my best friend Andrew. And I love you too!! I love you ,I love bailey and Debbie and I adore your whole family. I love you so so much. He hugged me and I hugged him back. We slowly stood and he offered me a chair then he holded my hands like they were of glass. He looked at me with so much love that I wanted to melt at that moment .He took out the champagne bottle and poured in our glasses. We both took a sip and I liked the fruity flavour. He told me that in the past few days he realized that he can't live without me. He can not imagine his life without me and the children. He asked me if it would be too much if I and the children moved here with him . I told him that I ll have to talk to children. He told me that he ll have renovate the rooms for both the kids according to their taste and he had also checked that there is a bus stop at the end of this lane , so Sarah and dew ll not ve any problem. I knew that he was thoughtful and caring but he always surprises me. He went to the kitchen and brought out the casseroles.He told me that he ordered Chinese today as he didn't have time to cook. I smiled and then we ate while talking. We picked the kids at 9:30 from Amy's house and Andrew dropped me and left but this time he kissed me in front of the children. and I noticed that both Sarah and dew smiled victoriously. We went inside and I called Sarah and dew to talk to them . I told them that Andrew has asked us to move in with him and if they don't want to move then it's okay with me. Dew asked me something which I didn't expect from him - he asked me if Andrew loves him and when I nodded yes ,he smiled and told me that he is ready to move. When I looked at Sarah she asked me if she ll have a big room with more books and when I told her that yes that she can have both she also agreed. I told them that I ll also expand my business as I ll have more space. Both of them were very happy for me. Next morning I received a call from bailey who was laughing musically and she started by teasing me that Andrew had told her everything this morning. And she is really happy that we are shifting to his house. I messaged Andrew last night only as I knew he was waiting for my response. She asked me if she can help in decorating as she decorated rooms for her daughter's and have someone in mind. When I told her that I don't ve any idea and she can do as she seems fine,she became ecstatic and invited me and the children to her house so that she can call the decorator and ask the children about their reviews. She also told me that now I am going to live with Andrew I should also have the bedroom redecorated according to my taste. Andrew had already given her a go ahead so she just needed my confirmation. She told me that we all needed to go shopping as now I ll be living with Andrew I need some suits and dresses and even some new sexy lingerie. when I coughed she laughed and told me that it's going to be fun to finally have a sister. After her call I realized that my life is going to change 360 degrees and I hoped that my decision was right. Andrew came that evening and asked me about my preferences for everything. He told me that he is very happy and is eagerly waiting for me and the children to move. So we decided to move second Saturday of the next month. By that time all the renovations ll be completed. I told him about the conversation with bailey and he just laughed. Next day in the evening we went to Bailey's house and she was eagerly waiting for us. She welcomed us with a hug and we all sat down in her sitting room. The decorator also came after half an hour and he started to note down every single detail. He talked with children about colour on the walls whether they wanted textures, cartoon character or just any design. He showed them his work on his i - pad. both of the children told him their individual likes and he noted down everything. Then he asked me my preferences,I was confused as I didn't have any preferences so he showed me some colours and their effects on walls. He told me that each colour reflect mood and light. so we discussed everything in detail and finally came to a conclusion. I was little hesitant as I didn't knew Andrew's preference but bailey assured me that Andrew ll like my choice. dew was busy with Bailey's daughters and Sarah was reading a book in Bailey's study room. We left around 7:30. That night Andrew was out of station so we talked on the phone. He had an early morning meeting so he had to leave immediately in the evening. I told him about the meeting with decorator and he listened very patiently and told me that it's all okay with him. He started teasing me that by the next month we ll be together and he want me to be ready for him. When I coughed he just laughed and changed the topic. As the time passed I slowly started shifting my things. I started adding personal touches to Andrew's house and he was as usual very patient with me. He even tried to give me his credit card and when I refused we had a fight which didn't last long. So we came to an understanding that if I want to buy anything for the house we ll go together to purchase it. So we started shopping with new study tables for kids, some baskets for small things and we even purchased new equipments and utensils for the kitchen . Andrew insisted that he will pay for everything. Debbie visited the house and liked the changes very much. She told me that now she can visit anytime and she ll not be lonely. She also told me that she is very happy for all of us and I deserved a beautiful second chance. I thanked her and we discussed more about the house. She gave me tips for gardening and also told me to grow some vegetables in the backyard. I decided to implement it and the next day I bought some seeds and pots for the backyard. Slowly the Day arrived when I was shifting finally. Andrew and his cousins helped in the packing so it didn't take very long. I shifted and the children were overjoyed. Andrew even added a mini library for Sarah in her room. She was more than happy
