I walked into the front door of Andy's house a few days later with a handful of grocery bags. I was hoping to cook him a great meal after being swamped with work at the admin office. I was passing the mouth of the hallway to the kitchen when I heard a strange sound coming from the bedroom. A chill climbed up my spine.

Fuck, is someone robbing us?

I knew he didn't have a gun in the house, so I quickly grabbed the first knife I could find. Tip-toeing down the hallway, I paused in front of the bedroom door and took a deep breath, praying that the person wasn't armed. Pushing the door quickly, I was shocked to see Andy lying naked on the bed…

…with Erin riding on top of him.

I screamed. I screamed bloody murder.

He turned to face me and gasped, "Kate! Oh Kate!"

I closed my eyes and felt my body jerk.

My chest was heaving as I stared up at my ceiling back in my bedroom. It was still dark outside, making the room black. I could feel the sheen of sweat beading on my forehead. To my right was the outline of a concerned Andy holding onto my arm tightly.

"Baby are you okay? You started screaming, it scared the shit out of me."

"Um, yeah. I'm so sorry, it was just a bad dream." He kissed my cheek tenderly and stroked my hair in comfort.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No, it was stupid. I'm sorry I woke you up." I kissed the hand that was comforting me.

He found my lips quickly before turning around and going back to sleep within minutes.

Looking at the alarm clock it read a few minutes passed three in the morning. Andy's gentle snoring began beside me, signaling that he was truly out. I sighed and got out of bed as quietly as I could and went downstairs to get a bottle of water from the fridge. Taking a couple of sips, I went to sit on the couch and collect my thoughts. I didn't think that the Erin ordeal at lunch bothered me, but apparently it did below the surface.

I was wide awake, so I grabbed the remote and turned the TV on. Turning the volume down low, I switched the DVD player and watched Jim and Pam's wedding. I couldn't help but tear up- Jim was quite the romantic and I was damn proud of him. I cringed so hard when Andy hurt himself doing the splits, but I think I cringed even harder at his bright colored pants.

I heard Andy come downstairs. I thought surely I had been quiet.

"You okay? I realized you weren't beside me." He said, clad in only his boxers. He looked up at the screen and smiled, "That was a good day. It was a beautiful wedding."

"Even with your broken penis?" I teased.

He sighed and rolled his eyes. "It wasn't broken." He tucked my hair behind my ear, "Please tell me what your nightmare was about."

I knew he wasn't going to let it go. "I was at your house and I found you having sex with someone."

"Oh honey," He soothed, grabbing me and pulling me into his arms. "That's ridiculous and never going to happen. I know what it's like to be cheated on and that feeling is absolutely awful. I would never put you through that."

"I know. Sometimes my brain just comes up with crazy things."

We sat in silence for a few minutes as we listened to the episode. My head lay against his shoulder as I tried to push the dream from my memory.

"Who was it?" I heard him ask softly.

I took a pregnant pause before answering, "Erin."

"Kate I have absolutely no feelings for her anymore. It's completely in the past. There just came a point when I realized that we weren't meant for each other. She's just too naïve for me."

I picked my head off his shoulder. The glow of the TV played shadows on his tired face, but he was still so handsome.

His forehead rested against mine, and his smile was soft and kind. "Why would I choose that over a person who is the sexiest, kindest, most fun and passionate woman I've ever had the honor of knowing?"

"You think I'm all that?" I wondered.

"Absolutely. You're my perfect match." I could hear and feel the sincerity in his voice, and I was satisfied.

We finished watching the episode and went back upstairs to try to go back to sleep. I focused on the feeling of Andy's arms wrapped around me and it soothed my jealous thoughts. The kiss on my shoulder was the cherry on top and I fell asleep.
