Anyways... to the chapter!

"¡Estoy feliz por ti mamá!" Andy yelled at her mother leaving the kitchen.

translation: I am happy for you, mom!

"Pues demuéstralo, Andrea. Llevas meses caminando por aquí con una actitud desde que supiste sobre el bebé." Her mother snapped back, following her.

translation: Well show it, Andrea. You have been walking around here for months with an attitude ever since you knew about the baby.

"Trabajo caso tras caso, ¿crees que quiero volver a casa con una molesta hija hostil?" She continued. "And do not raise your voice at me or walk away from me. What is the matter with you?"

translation: I work case after case, do you think I want to come home to a nagging hostile daughter?

Andy stopped walking and quickly turned around to her mother.

"You guys are old. Okay? YOU ARE OLD and You are getting older. Who in their right mind has a baby at fifty and sixty?" She stressed to her mother. "I didn't sign up to become a permanent babysitter. God forbid you two die soon, but I do not want the responsibility of taking care of a small child." She didn't realize that calm her voice had now turned into yelling.

Once she said those words, Andy held her face after her mother's hand came in contact with her left cheek bringing a stinging sensation along with it.

"You will not disrespect me or your father in this house, Andrea." She said holding a deep frown on her face. It seemed to hurt her to strike her own daughter. "Get out."

Andy looked at her mother in disbelief.

"MA!" She yelled quietly. "You're serious?"

"Muy seria" She said looking her dead in her eyes."OUT!"

translation: Very Serious

Andy slightly jumped at her mother's voice and stormed off to her room. She packed a duffle with all of her necessities and walked out of her room. Tears streaming down her face. She wasn't crying because it hurt, it hurt her because she never thought her mother would lay a hand on her. As she was walking through the house to get outside, she seen her mother on the couch with her head in her hands.

She walked out of the door and seen her Dad pulling up. He got out of the truck and quickly noticed Andy's face.

"Mija, what's wrong." He asked examining the red handprint on her face and looked down at the overnight bag. "Why do you have a bag?"

"Ask your wife." She said gently removing his hands and moved around him getting into her car. She started it up and drove out of the driveway. For a while she just rode through town not knowing where to go. Victoria had family in town so she didn't want to bother her. She would call her cousin, but she wanted nothing to do with any of the Herreras right at this moment. She and Robert hadn't spoken in a month, so that was out of the question. They would glance at each other at school, but that's it. He sent her a birthday gift, which she loved but she hadn't talked to him. Nothing less, nothing more. She'd be telling a filthy lie if she said that she didn't miss him.

She grew tired of driving and decided to park at Westfield mall and think. She rested her head on the headrest and checked herself in the mirror. She saw the red print started to fade away and even more tears welled into her eyes. She looked up trying to keep them from falling.

Figuring she would probably just get a hotel room for the night, being that she had just recently turned 18 she could book her own. Her stomach growled indicating she was hungry. She checked her face once more, and got out of the car deciding to eat something from the food court and take it to go.

She fixed her sweatpants and put the hood from the hoodie on over her head and walked away from the car. She walked into the mall. Making up her mind to eat from Chipotle, she settled with a burrito bowl with a side tortilla, now she was just waiting for them to call her ticket. She tried not to look around so people wouldn't notice her face, but the one time she did look around it was not in her favor.

Shit.

She quickly turned around hoping he or Lucas wouldn't notice her. No, she was hoping they didn't notice her face. She closed her eyes, having faith that he didn't see it was her.

Before she could even protest, she then felt her hand be angrily dragged to a nearby custodian hallway, away from everyone. He yanked her hood down and gripped her face.

"What the fuck is this?" He asked and she moved his hand trying to walk away only for her to be pulled back. She could tell he was in no mood for games so she just went with it.

"I have to go get my food." She said quietly not looking up at him.

He grabbed her face again looking at the visible red painted hand print that was plastered there.

"What. The. Fuck. Is. This." He said slowly penetrating her eyes with his and she couldn't help but notice his accent come out.

"N-nothing." She said moving his hand once again.

"Andrea..." He said standing straight up. "I swear to god if a dude di-"

"No!" She said scrunching her face which brought her discomfort in her left cheek. "It wasn't a boy"

"Then who?" He asked but she was too embarrassed to say.

"None of your business." She said and left to go get her food. She was surprised he let her go so easily, but she was slightly relieved. She collected her food and went out to her car. She wanted to so badly go back into the mall at the sight of Robert leaning against her vehicle. She attempted to ignore him, but that didn't really work out. Once she unlocked her doors, he got into the passenger side door making her sigh deeply. "Please get out."

He ignored her and reclined the seat back, relaxing in it while looking at her. She could see his jaw clench and unclench repeatedly as he looked at the print on her face.

"I'll ask one more time before I just start assuming people and go door to door." He said throwing his arm over his eyes waiting for her to respond. A text came to her phone.

There were ten text messages and three missed calls from her dad.

from Pa:

Come back, mija. It's a school night.

sent: 7:56 pm

from Pa:

Please, she's sorry.

sent: 7:57pm

She didn't bother to check the others.

to Pa:

I'm staying at Vic's. I'm fine

sent 8:01pm

She lied to him so he wouldn't worry, she looked up forgetting Robert was there. He just stared at her waiting for his answer. His jaw was still clenching and unclenching so she looked away.

She cleared her throat and moved the loose hairs from her face. She wanted to speak up but couldn't. She was slightly angry at him for not picking up a phone to call her in a month. A month. An entire thirty days without speaking to her.

"A phone works both ways." He said and she looked up confused until she realized that she was thinking out loud. "Can you tell me who did that there?" He pointed to her cheek. She said nothing and looked out the window.

"I'll start with my boy Kevin." He said referring to Elijah bestfriend and opened the door to get out but she stopped him.

"It was my mom." She said and he froze mid-movement. He closed the door and ran his hands down his face. It's a thing he does alot. "S-she kicked me out." Andy toyed with her fingers and Robert tried to process what she just said. "My own mother... hit me." Her voice broke.

"Where are staying?" He asked not asking about how it led to that.

"Vic's" She lied.

"You're lying." He said. She didn't know how he knew her so well, but he did and it was irritating at times.

"I-I was going to the Four Seasons." She said still not looking him in the eye.

"Yea right." He scoffed and halfway got out of the car. She looked confused at what he was doing. He stuck one foot out and his head.

"You can go ahead! Imma ride with her!" He yelled and she squinted to see who he was talking to since it was dark out. Lucas.

He got back into the car.

"Let me drive." He said and she scrunched her face.

"I'm not staying with you." She said.

"Okay, but you still have to take me home. Rip just left with my truck." He put on his seatbelt and relaxed into the already reclined seat. Andy frustratedly sighed. She started the car and instantly turned the heat on. The trip to the loft was quiet. He would occasionally look over to her and her face. It angered him that he couldn't physically hurt the person that hurt her.

When they arrived Andy put the car in park waiting for him to get out, but Robert had other plans. He pressed the push start to cut the engine and took her keys and phone from her cup holder placing them in his pocket. Andy tried to be quick enough to snatch them back but she wasn't.

"Let's go." He said and opened his door.

"I'm not staying here. Please give me my keys back... and phone."

"No." He grabbed her togo Chipotle bag and her drink.

"I really don't want to argue with you right now. I want to go lay down and eat."

"Then don't, and Plenty of room to do that here." He said and walked to the entrance. He placed the correct key in the knob and turned it walking into his home. "Come on, Andy. You know that you're cold."

She stood outside and folded her arms across her chest. Robert shrugged and placed the food down on the kitchen counter and came back. He walked to where she was and picked her up bridal style, taking her in.

"You're an asshole." She said as he put her down and set the alarm. She looked around the place that she basically decorated. Hearing the shower run and she took this opportunity to try and find her keys and cellphone then dip. Her eyes looked everywhere, then looked in his pants pocket and they weren't there. "Asshole."

She went to the bag where her food was and opened her burrito bowl. She took her seat on the bar stool and took out her tortilla. She put half of what was in the burrito bowl into her tortilla and wrapped it. She took a bite from it and sat it down. She finished the burrito, but was too full to finish the rest of the bowl. She placed it in his fridge for later and sat on the couch in silence.

She heard him come downstairs where his bedroom was but didn't bother to look at him.

"It's yours." He said and she got up to go get clean. She went to his closet and pulled out a t-shirt and a new pair of his boxers because she didn't have a fresh pair of underwear. She went into the spacious bathroom and brushed her teeth after she showered. When she came out, he was sitting on the bed watching T'V. He was shirtless with nothing but grey sweat shorts on. She licked her lips at the sight and snapped out of it.

She was about to go downstairs until he called out for her.

"Where you going?" He asked.

"I'm not sleeping in here with you." She said in a hostile way going downstairs.

"Well, why not?" He asked following her to the kitchen. Andy didn't say anything, she just got a glass from the cupboard filling it with water. She placed the glass in the sink and went to the sofa.

Andy grabbed the blanket that was draped over one of them and was about to cover herself but it was snatched. She closed her eyes trying to stop herself from being overly-irritated.

"I'm not letting you sleep on the couch." He said eating mini cinnamon pretzels. "Come on. I thought you were tired."

"I am, I'll sleep here." She said trying to grab the blanket back. "You're getting on my nerves."

"Oh." He said shrugging. "Come on, it's late."

"I'm really really trying to be rational right now, I let you kidnap me and I'm staying here like you want me to. Can I just stay on the couch."

He shook his head and she sighed. She laid on the couch anyways and he sat beside her causing her to get up.

"Please, leave me alone." She said with her hands resting on her hips. "I'm trying not to cry right now."

"Why would you cry?" He asked with his eyebrows colliding.

"Because of YOU." She yelled. "I talk to you the first time in a month today and you kidnap me, manhandle me, and won't let me make a choice whether to sleep on the sofa."

"We-" He started but didn't get a chance to finish.

"No, and you missed my birthday! My birthday Sully!" She said as the waterworks came. "You walk past me in the hallway everyday and say absolutely nothing. NOTHING but you want me here with you"

Robert stood from the couch and let her vent. After a few points she tried to make he started walking towards her slowly as she ranted.

"You give me a lousy ass idea of a happy birthday by sending a gift through Vic!" She said calming down. "You couldn't even deliver it yourself."

"You didn't want me around..." He said taking a few slow steps towards her.

"You're a terrible friend." She said as he inched his way to her.

"I am." He said continuing his walk..

"Y-you left me alone for a month. WEEKS!" Andy stressed not paying attention to her tears. "T-that's gaslighting... it's crazy making!"

" and What else?" He asked in a whispered tone taking one more step, now being in front of her. He took a seat on the sofas arm rest so they could be eye to eye. He pushed away her tears. She looked at him not realizing how close he had gotten.

"Y-y-you just didn't c-care whether I-I was okay or not." She said sniffling and he took her hands in his.

"You told me to leave you alone." He said now with their faces inches apart and Andy's breathing hitched. She swallowed hard and looked down at his lips.

"I-i didn't mean it." She said with their lips barely touching, they were so close that the strawberry flavored chapstick that was on Andy's lips was now slightly smeared on his.

"You sure?" He asked and she slightly nodded. "You're upset because I didn't come around?" He asked against her lips. "You missed me?" He whispered.

She didn't make a move, she stayed where she was causing his to bring her waist a little closer.

"Did you miss me?" He asked again in a whisper that was softer that the previous?

Andy could barely get a nod through before he captured her lips with his. She wasn't clear if this was a sick prank her brain was playing on her while she slept or the real thing, but either way she hoped it wouldn't come to an end, ever. For Andy, timed had stopped, the only person who mattered in this world right now was devouring her lips. The kiss was slow and full of every emotion that Andy could provide, anger: because of his absence, sadness: because of his absence, and love: because of his absence.

She felt him swipe her bottom lip with his tongue which sent tingles down her spine. She gladly parted her lips and allowing him to explore her mouth. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck causing Robert to put his hand under one of her thighs, lifting her effortlessly wrapping both legs around his waist. They pulled away for a second and Robert could see the hunger in Andy's beautiful brown eyes.

Both of them slightly breathless, Andy hesitated before leaning back in devouring his sweet lips. She could feel them move and then she felt him climbing stairs. He parted their lips, placing her on the bed like a delicate flower that would break at any moment. He climbed on top of her and Andy grabbed the back of his head, bringing him back down to her colliding their tongues together as they fought for dominance.

Rated M checkmark:

She could feel the wetness in the oversized boxers that she had tied on to fit her body. Andy could feel his hard member on her inner thigh making her gasp. Robert pulled away from her with a concerned face making Andy giggle. She could not get enough of his lips making her reassure him by stroking his face and pulling him back down to connect their lips once more.

A moan escaped Andy's lips as Robert moved to her neck. Hearing the sweet sound come from her was music to his ears. As his tongue swirled around her neck, his hand slipped under her shirt to find out that she had on nothing under it.

"Sully." She moaned as he lightly massaged her breast.

"Mm." He mumbled against her neck. He groaned lowly in her ear, which made her flood even more. He felt how tense her shoulders were. "You sure?" He asked pulling away meeting her eyes. They were full of lust as she nodded.

"Relax for me then." He whispered placing a kiss on her lips. "It's just me."

With that said, she relaxed into the bed not knowing how much nervousness and tension had covered her body until his said those words. Robert took his hand from under her shirt and place it in the briefs that she had on. He assigned his middle finger to trail up and down her folds feeling how excited she got for him. He smirked to himself before she moaned at his touch. He used his knee to spread her legs further apart allowing him to gain more access. "I'll stop whenever you want me to." He said lowly.

He slowly slipped a finger into her as she gasped, Robert didn't take his eyes off of her trying to read her body. He realized that it brought an uncomfortable look to her face so he slipped out.

Andy didn't want him to do everything so she hesitantly took her hand and slightly grabbed his hardened length through his shorts causing him to groan deeply and lean down to peck her lips.

He removed her hand and placed it around his neck.

"You not ready for what that can do yet." He whispered into her ear and kissing her lobe. She could've easily come undone by the sound of his voice right then. "Take your shirt off."

She grabbed both ends of the shirt that covered her body and brought it above her head. He looked at her bare chest and licked his lips. He leaned down and kissed her neck trailing down to her erect nipple. He swirled his tongue around it causing her to arch her back towards his body.

"Ahh." She moaned as he sucked the skin on her stomach leaving a trail of hickeys down to the pit. Andy didn't care that marks would be left, they felt too good to her.

He continued his trail of kisses down until he got to the waistband of the boxers. She looked down at him meeting his eyes, biting her bottom lip. He sat up and slowly pulled them down and off of her ankles.

He looked at her one last time before placing his warm mouth on her. She gasped and her hands instantly met the sheets. He removed his mouth and used his two thumbs to spread her second set of lips apart giving him direct access to her pearl. He did a single swipe with is tongue, causing her body to jerk.

"Please." She said getting impatient with his teasing. He smirked up at her and placed his flatten tongue on her clit.

He started slow but sped up.

"Fuck, Sully." She moaned loudly. He reached up and massaged her left breast as her hand came in contact with his.

The more he flicked his tongue the wetter she became, causing him to go faster. He intertwined their fingers while working her middle.
"Ahhh, w-wait" She screamed out overwhelmed with the pleasure he was giving to her. "It feels so good." She whispered out. She felt a weird feeling at the pit of her stomach, and Robert felt her squeeze his hand hard. He knew what that meant.

All of these phrases was making Robert want to do other things to her but she wasn't ready.

"Hold it Andrea." He said causing vibration to go through her body with the words he spoke and her back to arch even more.

"I-I can't" She croaked out biting her lip.

"Hold it." He said gripped her thigh and she held onto the headboard behind her, while arching her back.

"Sully, please!" He slurped her middle and saw he had her where he wanted her. He maneuvered his tongue around a few more times as her grip on his hand tightened. "Let it go." He said

"Oh my fuck, Robert!" She screamed out in pleasure and everything that she held in was now releasing into his mouth and he caught every single drop. Robert placed a single kiss to her thigh and climbed up to meet a breathless Andy. He kissed her chest and she held his face in her hands. "Where did you learn to do that." She asked breathing hard with her eyes low.

He chuckled, but she was serious.

"Don't worry about that." He said and pecked her lips letting her taste the lingering juices off of his. He flipped them over, allowing a tired Andy to lie on his chest. She turned his head to her with one finger and deeply kissed his lips once more. She buried her face in the crook of his neck as he brought the comforter up to cover the both of them. He kissed her forehead and she quickly fell asleep in his arms.
