Chapter 9:

Donovan Boyd opened the door to his home and let Andy walk in; she passed him and made a beeline for the living room. She knew where everything was as this once was her second home when she was with Boyd. He closed the door behind him and followed Andy into the same room. Looking at each other with fire in there eyes, Andy's was of anger and Donovan's was of want and lust. He walked over to her so he was only a few inches apart he took his hands and placed them onto Andy's face.

With placing his hands on her face a little bit of anger faded in her eyes still unable to take her eyes off him he did something she did not expect, Donovan Boyd moved in and kissed her with an ever so tender full on passionate kiss on the lips. For only a second Andy melted into it before she could pull her mind out of the shock and daze. She pulled back only for Boyd to move in for another kiss, and she moved into it again melting, he got what he wanted. Just as quick Andy moved back and with one fast swift movement slapped him across the face.

"What the hell are you thinking Donovan?" Andy spat out the words with the fire in her eyes growing again.

"I was thinking of you and me, and how I have missed your lips on mine, I had to taste you again hold you close the way we use too." Rubbing his hand along his cheek due to the sting of the slap.

"It's been over four years you cant just pick up where you left off, you made me promise you to move on with my life no matter what and I have!"

"By becoming a cop Andy that's not what I meant!" Andy's face became a little confused she knew what he meant but why did he think that.

"I became a cop so that I would somehow find out if you was ok; safe, but as time went on and I heard nothing I let myself live my life for me."

"You joined for me that's so sweet, it proves you love me."

"No Donovan I did love you, I moved on and now I love someone else." Out of anger she held up her hands as to say "god why is he not listening." As Andy held her arms up Boyd caught something in his line of sight and grabbed hold of her arm. He brought down her left arm and looked at her hand.

"You're married?" the look of shock crossed his face he took a few steps back and fell into the chair.

"Yes I am, have been for over a year." A smile spread across her face as if she had seen Sam stood in front of her. "He's kind, loving strong and loves me with every part of his being. I would do anything for him. He was the promise I made to you."

Donovan Boyd looked a broken man when Andy said thoughts words to him it was if time was going slow and then had stopped. He placed his head into his hands and almost began to sob. His heart was being ripped out of his chest by the one woman that he had always been in love with. Why was he doing this to himself? He should have known she would not wait for him, it had been four years! Four years he had left his then sole mate all because of his work. He slowly lifted his head and looked at her with the hurt in his eyes asked one simple question.

"Who is he?" Andy had decided at that point to sit on the arm of the chair and placed an arm around him in an almost hug to comfort the guy.

"I married Sam Swarek." His eyes opened wider and more shock crossed his face.

"Swarek, you married Sam Swarek?" he shot up out of his chair shouting as well as pacing back and forth through the room. "How the hell did that happen? No hang on I already know. Sam told me how he fell in love with is ex rookie when we were in the van; I just never thought it was you." Another wave of shock hit him and then he said it with hurt in his voice.

"You're pregnant too!"

Andy stood up and stopped Donovan from pacing it was driving her nuts. She ran her hand down his arm and took his hands into her own.

"Andy, do you know how hard it was to wake up every morning and not have to next to me? I would reach over and only get air; every time I looked around I could see your face in every girl I seen. I was loosing sleep; I never needed reason for keeping secrets from myself. And I'm so frustrated you were a friend of mine a lover, I was so good to you. I just need a minuet, I just need a breath and I need to slow down. So hears another day I spent away from you another night I'm on another broken avenue. I wounded what you was doing I use to wounded how we use to go so long without it. I spent night after night in bars and clubs surrounded by beautiful women who where trying to get me to take them home. Some nights I would give in very rear though I was so alone but nothing ever held a candle to you and your beauty. I need to make this perfect again." He soon broke down into tears when Andy spoke to him.

"Donovan, look at me please. People don't know you like I do; you're a red blooded male I would never expect you to not be surrounded by girls and not want to feel something. Feel loved or wanted even if it was for just one night. You told me to move on I did I fell in love and now as a result of our love a baby was made and now my family is complete. You was never far from my heart, I never took this off ever." She had let go of one hand by then and reached for her chain, upon it was the ring he gave her the day he left.

Reaching into his t-shirt Boyd also took out the chain with her ring on it and smiled at her.

"You where a big part of my life Donovan; none can take that away from me. Yes I moved on with my life but you will always have a place here." She pointed to her heart.

"I'm just a little jealous that's all, knowing that the woman I've been in love with for so long married a guy I have respect for. He's a good cop, someone I want on my team but I guess now with a amazing woman for a wife and a baby on the way I guess his priorities are in a different order now." He gave an almost laugh.

"We'll always be friends though it will be heard for you at first I know but you will find someone to love you more then I ever did, you'll be happy and soon turn round and say Andy who." Both now had smiles on there faces at Andy's remark. She was glad she was able to make him smile after the hurt she just put him through.

"Look Andy I could never hate you for this of course we'll always be friends. Now the only thing to do is tell Sam about our past, that's if you have not already told him."

"Nope he knows nothing, when you left I took everything and moved it down to the bottom of my sole, locked it away and never let it out. It was something I wanted to forget, you broke my heart and I wanted that feeling to go away. It took time but I finally forgot the hurt and moved on. The ring was only the one reminder I kept for strength and courage to help me move on. But Sam will understand when I tell him! He may take a pop at you for kissing me but other then that I'm sure he'll be ok."

"Wow, you're going to tell him I kissed you? Why?"

"Because we don't have secrets it's one of the things that make us strong as a couple. I really should ring Sam; get him to pick me up." She took out her phone and called Sam. Andy placed her hand back on Donovan's face and looked deep into his sole; she stood on her tiptoes and ever so tenderly gave his a quick but lingering kiss on his lips. This was for Andy closer she and Boyd needed to move on from what was there life together.

The rest of the time spent was talking about the old days and looking at photos before Sam knocked on the door. Boyd had got up off the floor from where they where sat and went and opened it. His eyes wide to see the smile on Boyd's face his mind racing as to why his wife wanted to talk to someone he thought she never knew.

Boyd let him in and led him into the living room where his wife was on the floor with the photo album in hand smiling to herself when she looked up and seen her husband stood next to her now new best friend Donovan. No words were spoken between them as for Sam still could not understand what was going on around him.

"Hay you ready to leave babe?" his eyes focused on Boyd almost evil look as wanting to know what he was doing to his wife, He at this moment was not happy he had to find out soon as.

"Sure I'm ready let's go." She stood up and walked over to where both men stood and in a simple gesture kissed Donovan on the cheek. And in a low voice "Ill see you around Donovan." Happiness in her voice she turned around and walked away. Before closing the door behind them Boyd shouted after Andy.

"Hay you'll always be my friend." A smile on his face Andy turned around and shouted back.

"And you'll always be mine." Before climbing into the truck and Sam driving off she gave him a wave through the window.

A/N please review your heart out on this chapter please. hard to believe but this was the hardest chapter for me to wright, I struggled for over a week with this. I wrote it then rewrote it because I was just not happy at all with it. But now I'm sticking to what I have. The Marianas Trench lyrics really set it off. Hope your enjoying my twisted story so far. And I also know I have kind of repeated the showing of the rings.
