CHAPTER 22


"What are you doing with this guy Andrea? Wasn't it a week ago he broke your heart?" Shane says, fire in his eyes. He is mad and hurt all at the same time.

"We can talk about this later. I am out on a date with Philip now. A guy I really adore. And you doing this is not cool. You're abusing your authority as a police officer," Andrea says frowning at him.

Shane nods, moving closer to her.

"I know. I shouldn't have pulled you over like that. But I can't let you leave with him Andrea. Not when I feel the way I do about you. I love you. I love you," he says, grabing her by the arm.

"Shane, I don't think that the case. You aren't in love with me. You're just scared of losing me. That's all," she says, taking his hand off of her.

She wants to smooth this over. Wants to be with Philip, but still remind friends with Shane.

"No, I love you. And after everything we been through it's not fair for you to ride off in the sunset with richie rich over there. Because I know you love me," Shane says, pulling her closer into his arms.

"No, Shane don't," Andrea says pushing him away. She couldn't deal with now. Was too much to process. She was still trying to process it when Shane pulled up to his chest, then forcefully kissed her. She pushes him off her, to see Philip staring at them.

He walks up to Andrea, where Shane still has her in his arms.

"Why don't you keep your hands to yourself. She said no," Philip says pulling him off of her.

"Look this is between Andrea and I. You don't even know her," Shane says not backing down.

Philip looks over at her, if she is going to break her heart he wants her to do it now before he's invested too much of his heart.

"Do you want to stay or go?" Philip whispers in her ear.

"I want to go with you," she whispers, looking at Shane's expression.

His brown eyes glow looking at her. He is not giving up.

"Who been there for you Andrea? Who held you the other night when you cried? That wasn't him. That was me," Shane says, passionately begging her to love him.

"I know. But I have moved on," she says, her hand in Philip's.

"You haven't. The other the night I felt. It was you and me. It was real," Shane said stepping in between her and Philip.

"You need to calm down. Andrea said her peace. We're leaving," Philip smirks.

"No. I am not letting her go with you," Shane said moving toward her.

"I told you to leave her alone," Philip says, as she watches him punch Shane in the face. Shane pushes him against the car.

"Stop this," She begs them, but they don't listen.

"You're under arrest for assaulting an Police Officer," Shane tells Philip, putting handcuffs on him.

"This is bullshit,"Philip mutters getting in the car. Andrea watches helplessly as Shane drives off with him. She picks up her phone and calls Rick.

She waits for him in the dark to drive her to the police station, while Shane knows his actions could end up costing his job. But what wouldn't he do to keep Andrea away from this guy?
