Chapter 46 - Preparing For The Trip

Nina frowned. She felt Andrew's restlessness ever since he arrived at the hospital. She wanted to ask him, but they were interrupted by their friends earlier.

"What is it? You're not yourself since earlier. Is something bothering you?" She asked while looking at him intently.

He sighed and walked closer to her. Andrew sat on the bedside and slightly smiled.

"I was too selfish to ask you to come with me to Europe. I know you have school and stuff, but I want you to know that aside from wanting to be with you, there's another reason why I wanted you to come." He started.

Nina didn't say a word and waited. He took a deep breath again, held her hands, and nervously continued.

"I was anxious when Alora called telling me the school counselor brought you to the hospital. Someone sent me pictures of him and you. I don't know who it was, but they obviously wanted me to get mad at you. I wanted you to come with me to Europe because I was afraid Rev would take you away from me. I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't feel this way. He helped you, and I was worried about you, but at the same time, I was jealous. I felt guilty for leaving you. I was supposed to be the one who saved you and not that guy. I'm such a useless boyfriend."

Nina was surprised that he was jealous. It was the first time he felt like that towards anyone. She was always the one who got anxious and jealous with those women he dated. She didn't expect that he would also feel that way.

She was trying so hard not to smile, but she was happy. She bit her lips and let out a giggle. Andrew frowned when he heard her laugh.

"Are you making fun of me?" He pouted.

She couldn't control it and smiled widely at him. 

"I'm just happy. It's my first time seeing you like that. I thought I was just the only one who gets jealous. And you have the right to be selfish. I like that side of you. I'm glad you told me, but I won't change my mind. My decision is final; I will come with you to Europe. Even if you change your mind, I will definitely go with you." She answered, then gave him a peck on the lips.

He pulled her into his arms, feeling so happy with her decision. Nina smiled when she felt his heart beating so fast and loud.

He took out his phone and dialed a number. He was smiling when someone answered the call. She was just looking at Andrew, confused why he suddenly called someone.

"Prepare my flight three days from now. I will be bringing my fiancé, so make sure everything's settled. Book a hotel as well. Yes, just one room. I want the one that has the best view."

She heard him giving instructions to the person on the other line. She felt so excited and wanted to go out of the hospital to prepare everything. She was all smiles when Andrew ended the call.

"You said we'll go to Europe, but where in Europe?" She asked curiosity piqued.

He chuckled. "We'll go to Spain first. Then to Switzerland, last would be France. I need to go back there to finalize everything."

Her eyes widened. She didn't expect Andrew would be bringing her to three countries.

"Can we go to Paris? I want to see the Eiffel Tower." She asked, sweetly looking at him.

"Of course! I want you to remember this trip. I'll make sure you won't forget everything." He winked.

She blushed when she realized what he meant by those words.

"Then I will make sure to prepare myself. I don't want my husband to come home disappointed." She teased him back.

"You will never disappoint me." He answered while leaning towards her.

He gently kissed her on the forehead then to her cheeks before pressing his lips to hers. It was just a quick kiss, but it was full of passion and love. Nina felt Andrew's sincerity with his actions and words. She had entirely given her trust to her fiancé, and she knew that he would never do anything to hurt her.

The next day, she got out of the hospital. They went back home, but Andrew needed to report his father about his business trip to France, so she stayed behind to prepare their things.

The girls stayed with her to help her pack her things and Andrew's.

"Do you think I need to buy some new lingerie? I mean, I only have pajamas." She innocently asked.

The girls giggled. They were not making fun of her; she amused them. 

"I don't think you need sexy outfits at night. Andrew will just remove it anyway." Peggy teased.

She blushed but eventually giggled from their conversation. Little did she know that her friends secretly put three lingerie sets in her suitcase when she was in the closet. It was their gift for her.

"Nina, we're happy for you and Andrew. But next time someone bullied you in school, tell us. Those girls needed to be taught a lesson. We'll deal with them so enjoy your vacation." Emily said before leaving her.

She was really thankful for her friends, knowing that they were always there for her.

Nina was sitting in front of the mirror after she took a bath. She was like an idiot smiling from time to time, excited about their trip. Aside from being with Andrew, it was also her first time going outside the country.

Andrew would be staying at his father's house and would just pick her up in the morning. He wanted to come home, but there were many things he needed to report to his father, so she told him to stay there for tonight.

Morning came, Andrew picked her up, and they went directly to the airport. It was a private flight since Andrew owned Cross Airline. The plane is a 12-seater private jet with one bedroom inside. Andrew pulled her into the bed, pinning her down when they reached the bedroom.

"Hey, aren't you tired? You said you haven't slept yet." She exclaimed.

"I want you. It's been one month. Didn't you miss me?" He pouted.

She giggled while wrapping her hands around his neck.

"I missed you. But you are tired from working all night, so I will do the work this time."

She mustered her strength to roll over on top of him, then she removed her dress and tossed them aside.
