Sometimes I
Need to remember just to breathe
Sometimes I
Need you to stay away from me

-You love her.-

Sometimes I'm
In disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need you to go

The words tainted his mind as he walked down the street to his destination. He walked into the building and got into the elevator. When he reached the floor, he knocked on the door. She opened it with a look of confusion. He grabbed her by the waist and kissed her deeply. She struggled helplessly and soon admitted defeat. Their kiss grew more intense and it led them to her couch in the living room.

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and

-You don't love him. STOP!-

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't Stay

She pushed him away and got up.

Sometimes I
Feel like I trusted you too well
Sometimes I
Just feel like screaming at myself

"Rivera, what the hell is wrong with you," she screamed.

Sometimes I'm
In Disbelief I didn't know
Somehow I
Need to be alone

Andrew looked at her and gave a small smile.

"I love you."

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and

Makoto put her hands over her ears.

"No, you don't."

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't Stay

"I love you Makoto," he repeated.

I don't need you anymore

Her eyes brimmed with tears.

"No, you don't. Andrew, you can't do this to me. I made it clear to you. We're through. Over. I love Nephrite."

I don't want to be ignored

The words slapped him in the face. He clenched his jaw.

"You... love... him?"

I don't need one more day

She held her stance.

"Yes."

Of you wasting me away

Makoto frowned. Andrew didn't look well. His eyes looked so empty, emotionless. She shivered at his stare. He looked bewitched. Andrew took one look at her before leaving, but not before uttering some last given advice.

I don't need you anymore
I don't want to be ignored

I don't need one more day
Of you wasting me away

With no apologies

"You're foolish if you can't read between the lines. That man is evil. He'll lead you straight to hell."

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
What you were changing me into
Just give me myself back and

Makoto closed her door and sank to the ground. (Oh my God...)

Don't stay
Forget our memories
Forget our possibilities
Take all your faithlessness with you
Just give me myself back and
Don't Stay

...

Nephrite sat in his office and finished the last of his paperwork. The door opened with a loud BANG! Mina stormed in with an evil glare in her eyes. He seemed unaffected by her glare.

"So what brings you here lovely? You and I didn't plan another 'meeting'," he asked.

"Andrew came over a few hours ago and then left me to go to Makoto's apartment," she explained icily.

He laughed.

"I want her Nephrite. NOW," she screamed.

Nephrite ran a hand through his long brown locks.

"Mina, your temper is getting the best of you. In due time I said. I cannot satisfy your every whim and desire. Now excuse me, I'm now off of work."

He walked out the office and got into the limo that was waiting for him. Mina sat there in a huff plotting a way to get with her precious angel. She quickly called a cab and told him to go downtown.

...

Makoto went to take a shower and then sat on her bed in only her towel. She glanced at the clock. In only two hours she would be with Nephrite. She decided what to wear a beautiful pale green camisole top with a dark gold skirt that hugged her hips and waist. She was about to put on her makeup when the doorbell rang. She ran to get the door. Mina was standing there with smile.

"Oh, hey Mina. What are you doing here?" she asked curiously.

She walked her apartment not bothering to ask permission.

"No reason. Just came by to say a quick hello. I was in the area."

"Well that's nice of you, but as you see I'm in the middle of getting ready to meet Nephrite," Makoto explained.

Mina's azure tinted eyes flared at sound of his name. She quickly smiled.

"Well why don't I help you?"

(Well, if it will make you leave quicker), she thought. Makoto turned around and left to go into her bedroom. Mina was tempted to follow. She was finally here. Alone with her at last. She would seduce her and give her more pleasure than that bastard Nephrite could ever achieve. She walked into Makoto's room and saw her and her vanity putting on her makeup. She came behind her and whispered in her ear.

"Let me help you."

For some reason Makoto felt bewitched by Mina's soft voice. She closed her eyes as Mina applied her makeup. Mina inhaled the fresh scent of vanilla that came from Makoto's soft, creamy skin. She moved her hair from her neck and licked it slowly. A small moan escaped from Makoto's lips. Mina smirked and continued to put her obsession under her spell. Her hands moved from her hair all the way down to the curve of her breast. She caressed them slowly making the detective crave for more.

"You like that?"

Makoto nodded. Her eyes still closed. (Why am I enjoying this? This isn't right... is it?) Mina lowered her lips onto Makoto's and captured them in breathtaking kiss. Makoto's shot open and pushed the woman away.

"Mina, what is wrong with you?"

Mina licked her lips.

"Don't tell me you didn't enjoy that sweetie."

"Get out of here," Makoto ordered.

"You know you enjoyed it," Mina taunted.

Makoto got directly in her face.

"Don't you understand English? Get. Out. Now."

"Such a waste of a beautiful girl. Nephrite doesn't deserve you," she said calmly.

"Get out!"

Mina gracefully gathered her things and left the apartment without another word. Makoto fixed her outfit and took a deep breath. (What's wrong with everyone? I need to calm down. I don't want Nephrite to get worried.) The intercom came on.

"Ms. Brooks, the limo has arrived for you," Mr. Brown said.

"Thank you. I'll be down in two minutes."

She got her purse and went down to the lobby.

The chauffeur opened the door and she got into the limo. She sat in one the leather seats and relaxed.

"Surprise," a voice whispered.

She opened her eyes. Nephrite was sitting across from her. She jumped into his lap and hugged him tightly. He lifted her chin up and kissed her. She pushed him away playfully.

"Not until later tonight," she replied.

"You didn't seem to mind last time," he said while raising an eyebrow.

"Shut up Nephrite." a smiled played on her lips and she leaned against his lean chest.

But her thoughts were elsewhere. She could only think about Andrew and Mina. Why did they come to her apartment? She shook her head. (Maybe it was a dream. Some sick hallucination to make me believe I'm crazy.) Nephrite looked at her. She didn't seem herself today.

...

Andrew sat in the bar and drank his sorrows away. (She loves him... she loves him!) His mind clouded with what happen just a few hours ago. He remembered being in Makoto's apartment and then telling her to stay away from Silverton. He put his head on the table and sighed.

"I fucked up. I fucked up," he groaned.

"Are you okay?" a familiar voice asked.

Andrew looked up to find Amara staring at him curiously.

"No," he mumbled.

She down next to him and ordered a beer for herself and glass of water for him. She frowned.

"Rivera what's wrong with you?"

"Brooks," he whispered.

"Makoto?"

He nodded his head.

"She loves Silverton."

"I'm sorry Andrew," Amara replied.

Amara toke a sip of her beer. Andrew wiped his mouth with his sleeve.

"I've been in for hours. I need to get home."

"I'll drive you home," she offered.

Andrew got up with some effort and walked out the bar with Amara.

...

Nephrite grabbed her by the hips and kissed her. Makoto moaned and took his jacket off. He picked her up and led him into his bedroom. He threw her on the bed and quickly undressed her. He took his clothes off and began to kiss all over her body.

"Just do it," she moaned.

He quickly entered her and grabbed her hips thrusting into her hard. Makoto grabbed the pillows to keep her sane. Images ran through her mind. Andrew kissing her. Mina touching and teasing. They finally came and Nephrite lay down next to her. He noticed her being distant.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing," she lied.

He turned over and lit a cigarette. Makoto turned to him.

"Nephrite put that out. I hate cigarettes."

He groaned.

"Fine."

He put the cigarette out and pulled her close to him. Makoto turned her back to him.

"You sure you okay?"

"I'm just sleepy."

"Okay. I won't bother you about it anymore tonight. Good night," he replied and kissed her forehead.

"Good night," she said with a yawn.

Nephrite raised an eyebrow. He knew she was lying. When they having sex he could tell by looking in her eyes her mind was somewhere else. He turned the lights out and looked at the ceiling. A certain person would be getting a visit from him tomorrow.
