Dimensional warper

It was already 7 am and Andrew had already gotten up and gone downstairs in which he was greeted by an empty house since his mother had already left for work. He made his way to the kitchen where he found a note which his mother left saying,''Andy you should find your breakfast on the counter and lock the door when you leave. I love you.'' And he took his breakfast and did his morning work out to maintain his perfect physique of chiseled toned body.

By the time he was done it was already 8;30 am so he donned his regular but this time there was a slight difference. This time he wore a black hoodie, black sweatpants with yellow stripes running across his left leg grey socks and some black Jordans.

After that he locked the door and set off to his destination. He took the bus and as he waited for the bus with some other random people a drunk man appeared seemingly in his late forties in tattered clothes which appeared surprisingly half drenched in water probably from falling into a ditch since the government seemed oblivious to fix the trenches and potholes which sprouted all over the place evidence of their negligence but it would seem no one would reprimand them probably nipping a few buds here and there.

The tipsy fellow continued with his all over the place rhythm until he reached the bus stop where he gave a drowsy glare at the passengers and started his speech in which the people had no choice but to listen to,"The definition of life is unequiality as evident in my life. There are the people who strive to make life better while there are those who just wait for those who put in the hard work and steal the fruits of their labour without a care of the consequences which they can easily dogde."

The man continued with his heart felt speech in which no one was listening but hearing,"Why does God allow such atrocities to continue under his watch. Those who heed his warnings undergo constant suffering while those who turn a deaf ear seem to live life big." Though many of those who listened saw this cruel reality none could voice out their opinions but before the man could continue the bus finally arrived and the drunk man quickly scurried off in a rather hilarious manner amusing the so called audience.

Sure Andrew saw from the perspective of reality not some fantasy where that good would always come out on top. He got on the bus and away he went to Tom's house gazing outside wondering and drowning in his thoughts.

He finally arrived at his destination with his indifference expression glued to his visage. After approaching the front gate he was checked by the security guard who recognized him and let him through with a respective attitude before continueing with his task. Andrew decided to take a stroll of the place where he saw a majestic garden been attended to with the gardners. A lot of flowers of different kinds were in bloom from a variety of red, blue, purple and pink.

After soaking it in he left noting the beautiful fountain on the front of the house with it's intricate designs and decorations spewing water in an elegant manner. He admired the artwork and before he could could continue with his personal tour a familiar face popped up. The person was dressed in a formal butler uniform wearing a warm but a strict expression on his face.

He was Gerald from before and approached Andrew asking him,"May be I of any assistance since it would seem that you lost." Andrew replied," I'm fine Gerald just admiring the beauty of this place that's all." Gerald then continued," Well Ashley is eagerly awaiting your arrival so if it wouldn't be too much to ask from you if you could follow me to her."

"Sure, why not. I've kept her waiting long enough." Andrew said before he followed Gerald into the house. Gerald guided Andrew to the rest room before leaving to attend his duties. Andrew put on his headphones and made himself comfortable by sitting down on the comfortable chair enjoying the solitude and silence closing his eyes before Ashley came barging in disrupting the peaceful atmosphere which initially existed.

Andrew slowly opened his eyes and looked at the intruder who disturbed his peace. She wore a black sweater which was weird since it was sunny outside and wore a pink skirt given she had tied her black hair up in a ponytail manner intenionally leaving some strands to cover her face and without permission she took Andrew's headphones and listening before returning them back to Andrew asking," Is this what you listen to Classical music. Boring" Andrew just took his headphones back and looked at her asking,"Since it would seem that you find this not to your liking then what do listen to ?" Ashley then responded," K-pop obviously is surely superior than what you listen to."

Andrew noting her mood asked another question,"What is up with the shift of your mood. You seem more perkier and livelier than yesterday." Ashley then teased,"What, don't you find this better than before?" Andrew,"I genuinely don't care what mood you put on just as long as it's your true self. And what is up with the sweater it's like scorching hot outside." Ashley.

"Fine I'll take it off." And with that she removed it revealing a black top she was wearing and she noticed Andrew's gaze yelling,"Stop staring you creep." Andrew simply adhered before standing up and going to the glass window looking into the distance then asking," So,do you have any plans for today." Ashley simply replied ,"Not really what did you have in mind."

Andrew started leaving before saying,"Well I can't really think on an empty stomach now can I." Ashley quickly followed him and before long they arrived at the kitchen which was rather huge given the size of the house. Ashley told Andrew," Don't bother yourself , I'll call the maids to come and prepare the mea.."

Before she could finish Andrew sealed her lips with his index finger then saying," I like to cook for myself princess not everything done for me. Though I would like to see your culinary skills in cooking because my opinion of you is that of a spoilt child who can't do anything for herself." Then he went to the fridge and pantry,took out some ingredients and began his magic.

Ashley was insulted by Andrew's comment but she knew that he was unfortunately right. Many things in her life were usually done for her so to prove Andrew wrong she decided to cook for herself,' How hard can it be right.' she told herself. Half an hour later Andrew was done with his lasagna which to say the least was exuding a mouth watering aroma while Ashley on the other hand wasn't fairing any better.

Her casserole looked undercooked at some parts while some parts were severely charred. She quickly tossed it out and said," Well I'm not that hungry," but her stomach betrayed her by giving a loud growl due to Andrews's lasagna. Andrew quickly and skillfully prepared the dining area and looked at Ashley who had a sulky expression on and asked,"Do you want some."

But she replied,"No I'm fine." Then Andrew said,"Since it looks like are not hungry then I'll just toss this into the garbage then." He stood up and took the lasagna to the trash compactor and threw out all the remaining lasagna and went back to enjoy the rest while Ashley finally burst,"Okay fine Andrew you win I'm starving so if you wouldn't mind if I had some of your food. It's for your sister so please." She put on a cute face expression but Andrew was clearly not falling for it and continued to chow down on his food.

Ashley couldn't take it anymore and lunged at Andrew taking his food then started to claim,"Since you used my ingredients then the food is naturally mine. I find this rather fair, don't you think." She took Andrew's plate and started to dig in and Andrew just gave her a playful look then decided to let her eat to her full.

After she was done Andrew asked," So when are you planning on getting off my lap ?" Ashley then realized that she was eating while sitting on Andrew's lap and immediately stood up and said ,"Andrew, how could you take advantage of a cute little girl like me," and started 'tearing' up though it was unoriginal so Andrew stood up pinning Ashley on the wall then said.

" It would seem that this young miss is very ungrateful for my cooking and taking advantage of you is something that can never pop up in my mind." Ashley taken by surprise by Andrew's actions retorted," Ah, well I'm sorry that I didn't appreciate your mediocre cooking."

"Mediocre !?! Please you clearly enjoyed the food but here you are pretending that it is average." Andrew got a little closer to Ashley's face making her fluster a little bit then continued,"It seemed coming here was a complete waste of my time." Ashley sensing that the situation was taking an unfavourable turn she then said," Okay your cooking is great and you can't leave yet. I still have plans for today." Before Andrew could continue any further he got a phone call so he went outside and answered it and there was a clear shift in his tone from his usual cold and dead self to a warmer one and started to talk to the caller.

Ashley on the hand eavesdropped though she couldn't hear the conversation she could clearly tell that Andrew's mood lightened up and after he was done, he came back with a small smile on his which quickly faded to his usual self and Ashley due to curiosity eating her up since it wasn't often to see Andrew smiling asked," So, who was that ?" Andrew," Oh, it's Cassie. But don't bother yourself too much with that."

Then she continued,"In your life where does she stand. As a close friend or..." "She's my girlfriend,Ashley. I'll take my leave as it looks like it's getting kind of late." Well with that said her mood seemed to dampen as Andrew quickly took his leave and left the premises. Ashley was left by herself and noted that it was actually quite early but she couldn't muster the strength to go on with her day so she went back to her room until his father returned.

When he -Tom- got home he was expecting to meet Ashley in her usual lively self but he was greeted by a brooding daughter who locked herself in her room even though Gerald tried to get her out but she wouldn't budge. He asked through the door," What's the matter Ash. Why are you so sad my sweet little pie." (I'm kinda cringing over here -author wise- and I know I suck at describing).To his surprise Ashley opened the door and jumped into his embrace and started crying without a stop.

Then she stated,"Daddy (☠️) it was Andrew. He starved me and left without a care." As the situation would have it Tom was really upset with Andrew but he too knew his daughter's antics of over exaggerating so he said,"I'll talk with him and his mother about this if that will make you feel better." Ashley just gave a small nod and went back to her sombre and gloomy state till she slept.

After Andrew left Ashley he went straight to meet up with Cassie. She was the same height as Andrew with fiery red eyes with a warm personality making this couple little contradictory with Andrew's cold personality but it would seem to melt away when he was with her. Since her parents weren't around their day was well spent In just chatting and watching with a little romance in the air if you will and lost track of time at that.

It was already late so after giving their exchanges Andrew left and the moment he arrived home he was simply bombarded with his mother's questions about his day with Ashley complaining,"Andrew, you don't realize how much trouble you are in right now. I can't believe that you left Tom's place leaving Ashley all by herself and then you have the audacity to arrive here late at my house. So what do you have to say for yourself, young man."

Andrew inwardly cursed,'Ashley when I get my hands on you I'm gonna..'
