A/N this will mostly be Andy telling Sam about her and Boyd so it's a lot of speech, although I do like the talking more then the description lol.
Chapter 10:
Sam's hand's were tight around the wheel of the truck his knuckles turning white from holding it to hard. He kept stealing glances at Andy who was looking out the window with a content look on her face. The drive was long as Boyd lived on the other side of town from them, Sam could not take the silence any longer and had to say something find out what his wife and Boyd had to talk about.
"Really Andy, what the hell is really going on?" His voice was raised. "I mean the two of you looked a little to cosy for my liking. I really need to know what the hell been going on between you and Donovan Boyd. I mean you where fine until he showed up and then you turned into a sobbing nerves wreck. "Sam said.
"I think it's time for you to know what's been going on since the other night, but I know your not going to like some of it. But what you need to remember is that what's past is past and that you are my present, soon as we get home ill tell you whatever you want." She placed her hand on his knee and smiled at him.
Pulling into the drive both got out of the truck and made there way into the house where Andy took hold of Sam's hand and led him to the sofa. She pulled him down next to her turned so that her leg's where crossed on the sofa looking at him. She took a hand and placed it on his face to pull it round so he was looking at her, Andy lent forward and placed her forehead on his and whispered "I love you, nothing will ever change that but what I am about to tell you may want you to be angry at me or even hurt someone. But I am here with you for that reason ok?"
Sam then took his arm and placed it over Andy's shoulder and pulled her close to him.
"I don't want to keep anything from you so ill start from the beginning." She took a beep breath and began her story.
"It started six years ago I was at a bar one night with some friends on a Friday night just goofing around Lisa had just turned 21 so we were having a blow out for her birthday. Booze was flowing and we danced the night away, we went from club to club doing what girls do best flirt with guys for free drinks." She smiled. "At about 1.30 in the morning we where at this club called mustard the place was pack and we all said if we lost each other we would just meet at the door at closing time unless we pulled in which we would text one of us and let us know we was safe. After about an hour that's what happen we lost each other, I was sat at the bar trying to get a drink with no luck when this guy sat next to me."
"Take it that was Boyd?" Sam's eyes widened.
"Would you let me finish please?"
"Sorry."
"He asked me if he could get me a drink, I agreed. We talked about everything about nothing what I was doing what he was doing. He was making me laugh about his job the things he did wrong or stupidly and where he wanted to be. It was like we where the only ones in the room, it felt right I felt safe with him. Well he was a cop after all. We exchanged numbers and it started from there, he called me a few days later and asked me out I said yes. We were together for 2 years in total, in that time we were madly in love joined at the hip unless we where working. Then one day out of the blue he turned up at my work in uniform with a big bunch of flowers. It was kind of embarrassing for me, only because things like that never happened to me. Donovan Boyd got down on one knee and asked me to marry him."
"And?"
"I said yes of course." Sam's face dropped at the fact that she had been engaged before. She cupped his face. "Hay don't look like that it's in the past remember. Anyway life went on we talked about plans for the wedding the children we may have had in time thing like that. Then that day came." Andy slumped in remembrance to when she was left alone to live her life.
"We got up had breakfast it was a little awkward on his part he was acting funny that morning, then he told me he was leaving for who knew how long. I was a mess, I knew it was part of his job and how it worked but I never thought it would happen to me. This ring I have around my neck, it belonged to him; His grandmother left it to him in her will. The reason I wear it is for courage and strength it helped me through it all, a part of him was always with me. He will always be a part of my life."
Sam removed Andy's hands and stood up a little hurt and anger in his eyes and walked over to the window and looked out. A few moments passed then he turned around and looked at her. The rage and anger inside him bubbled to the surface and spilled out of his mouth.
"This whole time we where dating, the whole time we've been married you sort courage in him? Do you know how this makes me feel? I'm hurt Andy why did you never tell me this before?" He punched the wall and never flinched because of his anger.
"It never seemed to cross my mind it just became a part of me, yes I found courage in it but I never thought of him because of it. I still love you Sam and always will, you are the man I fell in love with, you are the man I married and you are the man I am having a baby with. Not him, you." She crossed the room and wrapped her arms around his waist. Her head berried into his chest. "I'm sorry you feel like this right now I truly do but you wanted to know what has been going on so I'm telling you." She looked up at his face his eyes gleaming from the tears that would threaten to fall. She placed her hand on his cheek and his eyes closed for a moment to compose himself before he told her to continue.
"That where it all came down too the other day at the barn, I was getting changed ready to meet you at the penny when he came into the locker room."
A small smiled crept onto Sam's face but it did not reach his eyes. "And here's me thinking I was the only guy that got away with going into the women's locker room looking for you." Andy smiled.
"Not now! Well he came in and seeing him standing there I froze. I could not move words escaped me like my whole world was in a spin. He came racing up to me all I could say was his name, that's when, he…" Andy trailed off.
"What did he do Andy?" Sam looked into her eyes looking for the answer she could not tell him.
"Well he came over to me took hold of me and he- he kissed me" Andy flinched at her own words afraid as to what Sam would do. But all he did was release her and calmly repeated he words.
"He kissed you?" He became more angry.
"Sam I pushed him away, I told him he could not pick up where he left off, I moved on with my life and I've never been happier. That's why I was in a mess the other day I was upset and in shock, my past had come back to me. And to see him again I did not know what was going on."
"So I seen Boyd the other day with a ring around his neck, want to clarify on that, and what it was?"
"It was my engagement ring; I gave it him back before he left me. He kept me close to his heart for the same reason I did courage, strength that kind of thing."
"You know he has the same habit as you, he plays with it when he's thinking or whatever." There was a hint of jealousy in his voice.
"Look Sam I don't want any drama or hate between the two of you what's past is past ok?"
It took a few moments before he agreed to her but he looked her in the eye with hurt and anger. He knew that he would not course any drama in the way she was thinking.
"Don't expect me to be hugs and kisses with the guy ok, I respect him he's a great guy. Could be my boss one day but I have to have words with him you do understand right?" Andy nodded and hugged him.
"Thank you for understanding." She spoke into his chest.
"I just don't understand why you never told me any of this before. I mean its something big that happened in your life and you never told me." He was hurt.
"I know this is one thing I never wanted to remember, he broke my heart so I buried it deep down and locked it away. It's just like that scar on your upper side. Every time I ask about that you brush it off and change the subject. That's your dark secret and this was mine."
Sam again cupped her face and kissed her with a light tender kiss and took hold of her hand. "I'm sorry ok; it's something that gave me a lot of nightmares it took forever to forget just like you I locked it away. Ill tell you one day I promise, just not today it's still hard to even think about." Andy nodded and hugged Sam. "Come on its late we should get some sleep." They smiled at each other and walked to the bedroom all the while Sam knew that tomorrow Boyd was going to meet his knuckles for the very first time; Smiling to himself he again kissed Andy and drifted off to sleep.
