"You and Nick what!" Sam mind was racing, he knew he didn't want to hear the answer so he stood up and took a deep breath something about the look in her eyes told it all.
"Are you going to tell me you slept together?" he looked at her but before she could answer "don't answer that"
"Sam" she tried to finish but he just interrupted again.
"Andy we have finally gotten to where we need to be I am not about ruin it" as he caressed her cheek. He still saw the worry on her face but no matter how much he wanted to know he could not hear it from her mouth what had had already confirmed.
"Andy go talk to him" shocked at what came out his mouth
"What!" As she looked at Sam
"We will never get where we need if you are feeling like this, beside I know he is your friend and you care about him so go talk to him" Sam told her
"Sam what about us and now?" scared to hear his response
"I am not going anywhere what is one more day and besides I want your head clear of everything, so there is no holding back so go" he demanded
"Sam I don't know what to say"
How about I'm awesome" he smiled at her
"That you are" as she placed a kiss on his cheek and headed out the door.
Sam thought to himself he hoped he did the right thing by sending her back to Nick to talk not knowing for sure but assuming what happened between them. Sam went with his gut feeling to trust her just like she was trying to do when she tried to tell him about Nick. As Sam got another beer from the fridge, he realized it was going to be a long night.
As Andy stood on the other side of Nick's door she didn't know if she wanted to go in or not. How would Nick act now with her after everything. It was only one way to find out so she opened the door. When she walked in it was completely silent until she walked further in the apartment she heard music coming from the balcony. As she stood at the door she saw Nick sitting in one of the lounging chairs sipping on a beer. He turned around when he saw Andy. She could see in his eyes he was hurting, so now she knew it was her turn to take care of him.
"Andy" Nick said as he let out a deep breath
She made her way over to where he was and crawled in next to him they just sat there in silence. Her heart broke to see him this way knowing it was all her fault. he had practically gave up his life making sure she was okay and this was the way she repays him by hurting him all she wanted to do is fix this.
"Andy" he was cut off by her
"Not yet Nick can we just sit here like this for a couple more minutes" She asked and so they sat without talking just knowing the other was there was good for them.
"I feel you slipping away Andy" he told her
"what do you mean?" she sat up and looked at him "I'm not going anywhere"
"I wish that was true" as he sat up "I wish it didn't have to happen"
It hit Andy in what Nick was talking about and tears formed in her eyes leaving Nick there to go with Sam hurt him more than she thought she looks at him and he could see she was crying , he then wiped away the tears that fell from her eyes. Andy was lost for words all she wanted was to make Nick feel better.
"Andy let me be honest with you I know what happened shouldn't have but I sure as hell don't regret it" as he laid back on the chair and he pulled Andy back with him "these last two months has been great and a part of me have wondered what if we were more"
"Nick" she whispered but Nick cut her off.
"You know when you came to me earlier today and we kissed wow!" he let a deep breath "It blew my mind, it scared the hell out of me too but I was ready for everything that came along with it as well"
"That kiss scared me too but I never felt so alive" she told him as more tears fell
" I would make sure that I only saw these because of happy moments not because you'll be hurting" as he wiped her tears away, "but I know I wouldn't be enough because you love Sam, there is where your heart is" he told her
'Nick you are enough, and I have thought about you and what would it be like" as she cradled herself closer in his arms "I am sorry if I hurt you in any way when I left with Sam tonight because that was mot my intention. It's just that Its Sam"
"I get it Andy and I know its Sam it will always be Sam" he told her
"Nick I don't want to lose you" as she sat up and looked him in his eyes
"Beautiful you will never lose me" as he caressed her cheek "Andy I would take you anyway I could as long as you were still in my life" As he pulled her closer.
Andy then wrapped her arms around his waist and she placed her head under his neck, "Are we going to be okay?"
"More than" Nick said as she laid there in his arms
"Can we lay here for a while?" she asked him
"As longs you want" he told her
