Remember Me pt5 Concern came to Andrew�s face then. Without another thought of Troy he rushed to Anne and held her in his arms. She stiffened visibly, and Andrew�s face darkened considerably as he remembered how she had relaxed so against Troy Kasadone. �What were you upset about Anne darling?� He whispered in her ear. She looked at Troy before replying. �I was just reading a really sad book Andrew. You know how I get.� She smiled and blushed, and refused to meet Troy�s eyes. �Oh. Well, in that case, I should apologize Mr. Kasadone, I feel we got off on the wrong foot.� �No problem.� Troy said, but he was looking at Anne with a hurt look in his eyes. She still would not look at him. �So, Anne are we still up for that coffee?� Andrew grinned at her, his handsome face an unreadable mask. �Of course.� She replied smiling. �I will just show Mr. Kasadone to the door.� She looked pointedly at him. �Oh, of course. The door. Right.� He followed Anne to the front door. �Why did you lie to him?� Troy hissed when they were out of Andrew�s ear shot. She blushed, this time from shame. �I-I had to. Pleased Troy do not be angry. He gets so upset whenever I mention Treize. I could not bear to deal with that.� He instantly berated himself for being selfish. He had taken a disliking to the man and wondered why she was with him if she still grieved for this man, Treize. A lucky man.....he thought wistfully. He smiled winningly at her. The same gentle way that Treize had. She felt a lump form in her throat as she gazed at him. He is Treize. He just has to be. No one could look so beautiful as Treize and no one could be so gentle as Treize. However this man IS him in everyway. Said her hopeful heart. Her mind, however, disagreed. �Well Mr. Kasadone, thank you for stopping by. Rest assured you can stop over here if you need anything.� She didn�t add that she hoped that he would. And the thought scared her terribly. �I will take you up on that offer.� He smiled again and then suddenly, a tender look in his eyes and he bent close to her and whispered in her ear: �Lady....� much to her astonishment and thrill. Then he straightened up and without another word he walked out the open door. She wanted nothing more then, than to cry. Oh Treize....why? He was furious with himself. Absolutely furious. It was not like him to just fly off the handle about anything. But when he saw her there, and learned of her engagement to such a pompous arrogant jerk such as that Andrew, something within him snapped. He had stood protectively over her and the anger seethed within him at the man, and he could tell Andrew knew it. She still loves me. He thought incredulously. She still has my ring. She still has pictures of me in her living room. Troy Kasadone knew he was actually Treize Khushrenada. |
