The steam slowly began to heat up the room and fog up her mirrors as the warm water rolled across her skin. Running her hands through her brown hair, Kate let the water cascade over her, leaving her feeling calm and relaxed. She reached for the bottle of body soap she kept on a metal rack in her shower, only to find it empty. As she pushed the shower curtain to the side, preparing to step out and grab the extra bottle she kept stored underneath the sink, sitting there on counter was Andy.

"Andy! Are you trying to give me a heart attack?" Kate exclaimed, reaching for the nearest towel. Turning off the shower and wrapping the towel around her, Kate moved in Andy's direction and was surprised when he backed away from her.

"Where were you last night Kate? Where were you last night when I called?" Andy asked, hurt and anger evident in his voice.

"Where was I? I was home. And what are you talking about when you called? I didn't know you called at all," Kate said, putting some attitude into her words.

Andy's expression went from hurt, to blank, to just pissed off. "Don't lie to me Kate!" He yelled. "I know you weren't at home. Some guy, Tony something or other answered your phone. You were asleep... at his house!"

"I don't know who the hell you think you are Andy, but you have no reason to raise your voice to me and call me a liar!" Kate screamed right back at him. "Tony is just a friend. I work with him." Kate's voice lowered as she began to calm down.

"What were you doing at his house?" Although Kate had stopped yelling, Andy didn't. He just got louder.

"Forget this. I am not going to talk to you when you are like this," Kate said, shoving past him through the doorway. "You need to quit being such an asshole."

Andy stopped walking behind Kate and just stood there. He wasn't used to a woman standing up to him and truthfully, he did't like it. "What did you just say?"

"I said, you need to quit being such an asshole. Besides, I am a grown woman and you don't own me. If I want to go see Tony... I will go see Tony. If I wanted to go to the damn moon I could. I don't need your persmission."

This got Andy really pissed off now. Before Kate even had the chance to realize what was going on, he had raised his hand and slapped her across the face.

Kate felt the sting in her right cheek as tears formed in her eyes. Only once had she been beaten by her boyfriend and she wasn't about to let Andy start it again. With everything she had in her, Kate punched Andy so hard in the jaw she could've swore his head was going tospin.

Ready to hit her again, Andy lifted his arm, but Kate was faster this time. She kneed him in the groin and he fell to the floor.

"Ugh," Andy groaned as his body hit the floor. He layed there for a minute as Kate went around her room, picking up all his clothes and things that he had left. She made sure to also grab his bag that he had left in the corner.

As she was reaching for the door handle, getting ready to throw his things out the door, Andy came up behind her and spun her around. He pulled her into his arms and held her there, crying into her hair. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry my Katie bear. I don't know what got into me. I just... please forgive me. Please give me another chance."

Disgusted, Kate pushed Andy off of her and towards the door. His stuff still in her hand she handed it to him and opened the door. "Goodbye Andy."

"Katie, I don't understand. I said I was sorry."

"You know Andy, sometimes... sorry just isn't enough."

"Can I see you again?" Andy asked hopefully.

"Sure..." As Kate said this, Andy's eyes lit up. "... in interrogation."
