The Zack Mercer Story
Chapter 8: Cheating Aftermath
Thursday, August 4th, 2016 - Summerslam 2016: 17 Days Away - Orlando, Florida
It was a lonely thursday night for none other than Andrew McGrady who sat up at a bar stool with a beer in his hand. His hair was down on his shoulders and the suit jacket he wore earlier had been taken off. The beer in his hand in his hands had not been his first and most definitely would not be the last for the night.
"Rough night?" the bartender asked behind the counter while he climbed a glass.
"You don't know the half of it." James replied taking another sip of his drink. The bartender chuckle before he looked towards the doorway to see Cassie walking through in the dress she had on earlier.
"Here comes the source my problems." James muttered as she walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder as she sat down in the seat next to him.
"Hey baby. We were supposed to meet earlier today at the restaurant." She said to him looking him up and down. He continued to look at the wall behind the counter tops.
"Baby?" She asked him trying to get his attention.
"What's wrong?" She asked him once again. This time she got a chuckling response from him this time.
"I'm sure you know what's wrong with me. Seeing as though you are the source of moods today you should know. Or should I say that you and Matthew should know." He said to her as his smile disappeared while he set the beer down on the counter.
"What are you talking about?" Cassie asked confused. She looked at him checking if he actually could sense her nervousness at the moment.
"Cassie. Don't tryout. I saw you making out with Matthew up agains the window." He replied to her. She sighed and closed her eyes as she looked down at the floor.
"So what you caught me in the act. I'm a woman and I have needs. Do you honestly expect for me to wait for you to come here to me." She said.
"Don't try that bullshit on me. I have needs as well but you don't see me, making out with Lexi. I have been loyal to you for 9 straight months. Every since you told me that you would go out with me, I have been loyal to you and I have thought about no one else but you. And I want you to know something. I was gonna propose to you tonight but of course things happened." He said as he pulled out a small black box and dropped it on the counter in front of Cassie.
He got up and looked at Cassie to see tears in her eyes as he pulled out some money to lay on the countertop.
"Keep the change." James said drinking the rest of his beer.
"Oh and Cassie." James said getting Cassie's attention now.
"I've moved on." James said picking up his suit jacket and putting it on as he walked out of the bar leaving Cassie there crying there alone.
Hours Later - Lexi's Hotel
Lexi stood up in her bath robe looking out of the window at the rainy Florida while Matthew lay behind her sleep. She thought about Her relationship with Matthew and Drew. She loved what she had with Matthew at the moment but all she saw it was as a relationship but not too serious. But with Drew, he was everything she had ever wanted in a man. The only thing about him was his past. There was so much that he told her and so much that he still has to tell her.
Her thoughts had allowed Matthew to sneak up on her and wrap his arms around her waist. He began to kiss her neck passionately while she moaned at his kisses. She looked up in the window and in the reflection she didn't see Matthew kissing her.
She saw him. She saw Drew.
Outside the Bar
James sat in his car watching the door of the bar. He had a serious look on his face his finger tapped the steering wheel repeatedly. He didn't know why he was waiting for her. He just told her that they were through but he couldn't just let that be it. He wanted her. She wanted him as bad as she messed up still.
His thoughts were shut off when Cassie walked out outside of the building. She saw him in the car and meet eyes with him. His cold, heartless stare hit her full of emotions stare. She took the signal and took the chance to walk towards the car and enter the car. She ran a hand through her hair that had got wet from the rain outside.
She looked over at James who slowly turned his head towards her.
"Why?" She asked.
"I still love you. That's why and I just couldn't stand to see you crying there hurt even if you did hurt me." He replied looking at her now. Out of nowhere, Cassie french kissed James. James deepened the kiss with Cassie which caused her to climbed out of her seat and straddle him.
When they broke the kiss they looked each other with eyes full of passion and lust. They soon resumed their tongue wat with each other after their brief staredown.
