Chapter 2

Joe POV

How the hell had my life come to this? Cupcake had walked out of my life, and right into that thugs. Okay so I slept with Terri, so what! It didn't mean anything. Cupcake had been avoiding me, and I have needs. I never expected her to catch me and Terri in the act.

But she had...

Flashback:

I'd been leaving Cupcake messages for days, I knew she was avoiding me. I didn't know why, and I didn't care. Whatever snit she was in, she'd get over it soon. She always came back to me, and until then I had Terri to take care of the boys.

We'd been in the middle of a great fuck, when I heard my bedroom door open. To my horror Cupcake walked in with a look of disgust on her beautiful face. Shit!

"Good-bye Joe." She said in a tone of voice I'd never heard her use before.

"Cupcake I can explain!" I had to get her to listen to me, if anyone found out I was sleeping with Terri, I could kiss my promotion good-bye.

She laughed, "No you really can't, we're done! Don't ever call me again!"

And with that she walked out of my house and my life. I haven't seen her since.

The past three weeks I've tried calling her, she never picks up. I don't know if she listening to my voicemails. After 2 weeks of hearing nothing about her finding me and Terri together, I thought there was hope. I had to talk to her.

I drove over to her apartment, when she didn't answer the door I picked the locks. I had to get her to listen to me, I needed her to forgive me, and take me back. I need her to keep quiet about me and Terri.

It took less than a minute to realize she wasn't there. I was going to sit and wait for her to come home, when I realized not only was she not not home, but neither was Rex. Going into her bedroom, I looked in the closet. Sure enough her bags were gone. She hadn't been home.

My blood started to boil, when it hit me that there was only one place she would have gone. Rangeman...

Flashback Over:

I gotten a call, Cupcake had done it again! She'd lost another car, I knew that this was my chance to talk to her. After all she had to make a report on whatever the hell happened.

When I pulled up to scene, I saw Cupcake standing next to Ranger, and he was smiling at her. My temper flared, I hated the way he looked at her. I made my way over to them, ready to read her the riot act. Before I could say a word Cupcake looked at me in disgust and said,

"Save it Joe, I don't care what you have to say. You lost the right to comment on any part of my life, the second I walked in to find you with your dick in someone else. So just keep your mouth shut!"

Oh shit! Everyone turned and looked at me. I could sense their anger. Then that thug glared at me, and I felt a sliver of fear. He looked like he wanted to kill me.

Cupcake just put her hand on his arm and shook her head.

I went to say something, but she just shook her head and said,

"Go away Joe, I mean it! You won't like what I have to say if you don't!"

And with that she turned her back to me, and walked over to Eddie. She asked him if she could go, he told her she could while glaring at me. I heard him say,

"Go ahead we got everything we need, and don't worry Morelli, has no standing here."

He gave her a hug, and she thanked him walking back over to where I was standing with Ranger who had yet to stop glaring at me.

I watched still a little stunned, as she put her hand on his arm again, and asked he'd if could take them home.

Home? I knew she had to be staying at Rangeman, but was she also staying with him?! What the hell?!

Ranger just nodded at her, and wrapped his arm around her shoulders. I watched as he gently put her in his car. So many things were going through my mind, all I could do was stare at her. When she noticed, she sent me another glare of disgust. I watched as that bastard drove off with my Cupcake.

She didn't even let me try to talk to her, and to top it off now my fellow cops were now looking me like I was something disgusting they had to wipe off the bottom of their shoes. What the hell was I going to do now?

I know it's short but I wanted to get back to Steph and Ranger.
