Chapter 11

„You are unbelievable! How can't see what's right in front of you?" Andy yelled.

„What is that supposed to mean?"

„You have a way of knowing things about me, that I even don't know. Most of the time we think alike and don't need words to communicate. And now..."

He breathed angrily and started slowly „That doesn't change the fact that .."

„There is no fact, there is a one tenth of a fact and it's fading away as we speak"

When Sam didn't answer she took her jacket.

„Whatever..." and walked out of the door, into the night.

12 hours earlier

Traci and Andy walked to work laughing. She told Traci what had happened last night and Traci looking at Andy knew that she had found the right guy. Every time she mentioned his name, Traci could see her face full of happiness and joy. Andy thought of Sam all the time, so she decided to text him.

At work. Miss you already!

She knew he was sleeping and he'll probably respond to her later. Suddenly she felt her phone vibrating.

Still in bed. Want you here...

Andy smiled, thinking about last night and how things might of gone if she didn't had work today. She wrote back quickly.

Want to be there...:D I'm not sure if I can wait until after work.

Sam responded.

Can I join you and Sarah for lunch?

Andy wanted to speak with Sarah about last night, but she wanted to see Sam more. Knowing how open Sam and Sarah were, maybe they could talk about it after all.

Yes! See you at lunch.

„Come on Sarah we are going to be late"

„No we are not" she made final touches to her make up.

„How do i look"

Sam grinned still annoyed after waiting her for half an hour.

„I am blinded by your beauty. Let's go!"

„Thank you" she ignored his tone and walked to the car.

„So tell me what happened last night"

„What do you mean"

„Come on... You really want me to believe that you slept in the same bed without touching or

speaking to each other?"

„You said it for your self... It's a huge bed" he grinned.

Sarah crossed her hands „Your mean!"

„I'm pretty sure Andy wants to tell you herself..."

Sarah cut him off „So something happen?"

„If something happened"

"Okay... Drive quicker... I want to know already"

They were waiting for Andy.

„Go get her" Sarah said

„She knows were to come"

„I know but go. Make her come quicker, I want to talk."

Sam laughed but got out of the car. He knew she was changing her clothes so he headed for the locker room. Thinking about what to say if she is half naked. He smiled to himself, imagining her half naked. He saw that the door was a bit open so he just pushed it a little.

He wasn't prepared to see what he saw. Luke and Andy were kissing. Her hands were on his chest and he pushed her to the lockers.

He stepped back and walked away quickly. Trying to get that image out of his head. It was making his heart stop so he quickened his pace. He needed to get out. He had seen them together before, but this time Andy was his. Or he thought she was.

Sam passed Sarah outside.

„She'll be out in a second, I have to go"

„What? Where?"

He didn't answer, just walked away.

Andy's shirt was dirty from the last arrest so before going to Sam and Sarah, who were waiting outside, she went to change. She was almost finished when Luke stepped in.

„What are you doing here?"

„I want to talk"

"We have talked enough! Leave!"

„Andy, this is stupid..."

„No you are! You decided that this was over the moment you kissed her"

„Please Andy, it was a mistake"

Andy looked into his eyes „No, we were a mistake"

She walked to the door but he stopped before she reached it.

„I still love you."

„I don't"

„Yes you do, you still feel something for me"

„Yeah your right, I do... It's called disgust"

„I know you love me to" he said firmly

Luke grabbed her elbows with both of his hands and kissed her hard on the lips. Andy put her hands on his chest to push him away but he pushed her against the locker. Moving his body closer to her. She hit him with his knee, pushed him away and hit him again breaking his nose.

„What the fuck Andy?"

„Don't touch me, ever again!" she walked out but came back.

„You know what else... Don't speak, write or look at me! And when I say ever again, I mean it!" she walked away angry.

When outside, she saw Sarah waiting. Andy walked to her and gave her a hug.

„Hi Andy"

„Hi, where is Sam?" She looked confused.

„I'm not sure, he just left. We can call him later, let's go eat" she tried to distract Andy by asking her about last night but knew it wasn't working.

„What do you mean he just left?" seeing how Sarah tried to keep her off the subject she smiled for her.

„Okay, just because it's your last day here and I really want to talk to you about last night"

„Good, 'cause Sam didn't tell me anything."

They acted like everything was okay but Andy couldn't stop thinking what happened with Sam? So she texted him.

Few minutes later he got a text from Andy.

Where are you!?

He put the phone back in his pocket. His mind was clouded with different images of her and Luke. Why did she kiss me then? Does he really still love Luke? I knew I should've waited longer, so Luke wouldn't be an issue.

Sam walked home, half way there he felt a short pain in his stomach. He was actually glad that it was there. He didn't know what to feel, but pain was good. Physical pain was familiar and he could manage that. Even when that pain was mixed with emotional pain seeing Andy with Luke again.

An hour later he received another text.

I'll be home early, hope everything is ok. Call me.

Sam looked over the facts. Maybe I misunderstood something. He sighed. Fact was she was kissing him. He thought about texting her back, but to say what...? If she wants to be with him again, why stall it so long and why be with him? He heard Sarah come through the door.

„Sam?"

„In here"

„Where did you go?"

„I had to go, I'm sorry"

„Andy was really worried, but I told her not to be"

She studied Sam's face „Was I right?"

„I'm okay, I'll talk to her when she gets home" he smiled hiding everything from her. He knew that she would stay longer if she thinks something is wrong.

„I'm not stupid, Sammy"

„It's work stuff...and the pain. I'll get over it."

She knew he was lying again „Okay" she sighed „Want to give me a ride to the airport"

„Sure" he half hugged her. Knowing she saw past through her and still dropped it.

„I love you" he said to her

„I know, I love you too" she kissed him on the cheek.

When he got back, he saw a blonde female standing at the door. He parked the car and walked over to her.

„Hi, sorry. But does Andy live here?"

„Yes"

„These came to her old apartment"

She handed him some letters and a bunch of red roses.

„Thank you"

„Tell her I said hi" she stood awkwardly and then walked away.

Sam but everything on the corridor table. He read the different flower cards, that were addressed to Andy.

Thank you for last night!

Love, Luke.

I love and miss you! Luke.

After these two he stopped reading. All this time with Sarah made Sam think again that he was overreacting and something was wrong, but these flowers, these cards just made him angry. Not even knowing exactly what or who was he angry at. If Luke was here he would beat all kinds of shit out of him. So probably him. But also himself... He didn't see this coming. At all. He took a beer and waited for Andy to come home.

When she walked in he had drank at least five or six bottles of beer and a few glasses of scotch. He wasn't drunk but not far from it either.

She looked worried „Are you okay?"

„Yes" he said shortly

„Then why didn't you text me back?" she took off her jacket and placed it on the couch.

„I was busy"

„That's your excuse to skipping lunch to I'm guessing" her eyebrow raised.

He nodded.

„Did something happen?"

„What's going on with you and Luke?" he blurted out.

She was confused „Nothing"

„What about today? Still nothing?"

„Just say it." Andy wasn't sure where he was going with this.

He pointed at the flowers and read one card out loud.

„Thank You for last night! Love Luke."

„That's bullshit. He knows I live here now, he did that on purpose."

„This wasn't sent here, it was to your old apartment"

„Still... How can you believe that?" she was confused „After last night, I thought that..."

„No Andy, after last night I thought something." he stood from his chair „But let's keep me out of this for a second. I can't believe that you would do that to yourself! After everything."

Andy snorted.

„If you really think you need this then go, no need to spare my feelings." he took another sip of his drink.

„Are you fucking kidding me? I don't want to go back to Luke? Where did you get this idea?

„After seeing your make out session, it was hard, not to get this idea."

„You saw us?" she was pissed.

Sam didn't say anything.

„He was forcing himself on me. Why didn't you come in and interrupt or hit him? How is it possible to see us kiss, sorry... see him kiss me and not hear what happened after that?" she walked back and forth not believing this situation.

He was surprised to hear that but it was hurtful to know that he walked away when she needed her. His anger faded. „Shit," he held the bridge of his nose "I thougt that..."

„How?" Andy yelled.

Sam tried again „I thought that..."

„What? That I was still in love with Luke?"

He hesitated, but told the truth „Yes"

She laughed still angry „Did you forgot what he did to me? That I left him?"

He noticed how she changed the subject „That's not the same... Do you love him?"

She paused and Sam threw his hands in the air.

„That's all I wanted to hear" Sam turned his back at her, he was not expecting that.

„I was supposed to marry him! Of course I have some feelings for him. But not the same I used to have." she tried to explain to him, when he turned again.

„So just the occasional making out sessions" he knew that was over the line, but he was getting mad at Luke again.

„You are unbelievable! How can't see what's right in front of you?" Andy yelled.

„What is that supposed to mean?" he crossed his hands.

„You have a way of knowing things about me, that I even don't know. Most of the time we think alike and don't need words to communicate. And now..."

He breathed angrily and started slowly „That doesn't change the fact that .."

„There is no fact, there is a one tenth of a fact and it's fading away as we speak"

When Sam didn't answer she took her jacket and shook her head.

„Whatever..." she walked out of the door, into the night.
