Softly, Amy growled, finding the Spongebob Boxers in her laundry. How had his favorite underwear gotten mixed into her clothing? Why wouldn't God let her be rid of Shane McMahon?

"Why are you punishing me?" she snarled under her breath, placing the underwear in a garbage can. "Can't you see I'm through with him?" Suddenly, she heard a low cocky chuckle.

"Talking to yourself is never a good sign," a masculine voice murmured. She jerked her head around. Standing behind her was none other than Chris Irvine. "Hey, You," He moved toward her, before finally embracing her.

"Hey," she murmured, letting her head sink into his chest. "Let me guess. In town for Lola's christening?" Chris nodded. "She's a gorgeous little girl,"

"She is. I saw her last night. I can't decide who she looks more like though," he said. She nodded. Suddenly, she shivered, as Chris pushed a lock of her hair back. "Are you okay?"

She sighed, not wanting to tell him what her touch did to her. "Yeah, I'm fine. Cold but okay…you're not gay, right?" Immediately, she blushed. How could she have asked him that? He must think she was a total freak…

"Nope. Don't worry," he murmured. She laughed. "How's your laundry coming?" She sighed, placing the basket on her hip.

"Done!" she exclaimed, laughing. For some reason, she was comfortable around Chris, more comfortable than she had been around any man, except Adam, since the divorce.

"Want to grab a cup of coffee?" Chris asked, gently slipping his arm around her waist. Amy nodded, snuggling closer to the man. "Cuddly one, aren't you?" She shook her head.

"Just around you," she murmured. Where was this coming from? Hadn't she sworn off men just last month? What about what Shane had done to her?

"I hear you're recovering from a nasty divorce," he murmured. Amy nodded. "How nasty?"

"Nasty," she murmured, shaking her head. "As in I'm being spiteful because I hate him nasty," Chris nodded. "Then my crush turned out to be gay. I'm batting zero…"

"Jay?" Chris asked. Amy nodded. "It's a little known secret. That and you won't believe who his boyfriend is,"

"Who's his boyfriend?" she asked. She listened closely, as Chris whispered it in her ear. "No way! No fucking way!"

"Way,"

"I could never have imagined it. Alex Shelley?" Amy asked. Chris nodded. "How could Adam NOT have told us?"

"Jason swore us to secrecy. He's introducing him at the christening," Chris said. Amy nodded. She couldn't believe it. First, she hadn't known he was gay. Then, it turned out she had been flirting with a man with a boyfriend. "Don't worry. Alex is really easy going. He's not going to kill you for flirting with Jay."

"I hope not!" Amy squealed. "I've only pissed Adam off once and that was enough…" Chris laughed.

"Adam's a special case. Adam's Adam," Chris murmured. Amy nodded. "They've only been dating about six months but Jay swears he's the one," Amy nodded. She knew that feeling. "I didn't tell you this though," She nodded.

Amy sighed, crossing her arms over her chest. She struggled to get her heart rate under control. She couldn't believe this. She had only felt like this once before. It had been in the early stages of her relationship with Shane.

"This has been really fun," she murmured, sipping a Mocha Latte. "Thanks," She sighed.

Amy knew she should shield her heart, even if it was Chris. She had rushed into marriage and love with Shane. She didn't need it again. She didn't need to risk her heart again, no matter how much she wanted someone who loved her and a family.

"You're welcome" Chris murmured, before pecking her on the lips.

Amy just sat there, in stunned silence.
