Chapter 8: Jealously and Complications Galore!

Lucy opened the front door and gaped at what she saw…

She saw Robbie kissing a young blonde. And this wasn't just any innocent kiss. He was all over her and she was all over him!

NO, NO, NO! Lucy was thinking. She was thinking this for catching Robbie, her secret crush, with another woman, and the fact that she had Kevin, how clear did she need to make that to herself!?

"Ahem," Lucy cleared her throat to make her presence known.

The sudden noise caused Roxanne and Robbie to break apart and notice Lucy standing before them. Robbie and Lucy just looked at each other awkwardly for a long time. It was almost as if he knew this was breaking her heart.

Roxanne just stood there, not saying a word. She wasn't really sure what was going on…lucky, innocent thing.

"Robbie, I…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to interrupt," Lucy finally said.

"It's ok, Luce," He replied.

"Lucy," Robbie spoke again.

"Yes, Robbie?" Lucy asked.

"This is Roxanne, my old friend," Robbie said, pointing to Roxanne.

"Hi," Roxanne said, extending her hand.

"Hello," Lucy said, shaking it and letting go quickly.

Hmmm…Roxanne. Something seemed so familiar about that name. But what...?

Oh yeah! This must've been Roxanne Richardson, Kevin's new partner. And of course, she had a past with Robbie…a romantic past, considering she was lip locking with him.

Locking lips with my Robbie?! How dare she! What a sl...stop it already!

Lucy scolded herself in her mind. She seemed to be doing that a lot lately.

But, despite trying o convince herself that once again that she had Kevin and Robbie was just her friend and free to date who he wanted, irrational jealousy filled Lucy. None of that mattered to her at the moment. She hated this woman for taking what she wanted to be hers.

While Lucy had been in silence, Roxanne had told Robbie how she was Kevin's new work partner.

"Hey Luce, Roxanne is Kevin's new partner that was coming tonight! How do you like that?" Robbie said with a smile.

"Yeah, crazy, crazy world…" Lucy replied through gritted teeth.

"Wanna head inside?" Robbie asked Roxanne. She nodded and Robbie put his arm around her. They walked into the Camden house together.

Lucy's head felt like it was spinning. She sat down in a chair on the front porch. Things had just gotten even more complicated.

Someone stop the madness, Lucy thought with a sigh.

Of course, little did Lucy know, the real madness was just beginning in this love pentagram...
