7. More lies

"I fucked up bad," I admitted to Rick in one of our heart to heart talks in the police car.

"What you do?"

"I cheated on Andrea," I said looking at the floor.

"Why? You love Andrea," Rick said disapproving.

"She wants to wait to have sex until marriage. We have been together for two years. I guess I let my physical needs take over," I said softly.

" That's tough man. But you slept with someone else? What about the wedding?"

"I want to marry Andrea still. And spend the rest of life with her. I am scared that Stephanie will tell her everything."

"Stephanie Carson? Shit, Shane you know she will tell," Rick said shaking his head.

"What should I do? You are better at this relationship shit than I am."

"You have to tell Andrea the truth when she gets home this weekend. That is the right thing to do whether Stephanie tells her or not," Rick said calmly.

"I don't know if I can do that. She'll hate me ," I said starting up the car.

"I really think Andrea will forgive you. She loves you," Rick reassured me.

"I hope you are right. Because if I lose Andrea, I would lose my whole world," I said driving off us back to the police station.

"She has been good for you, brother," Rick said before he got out of the car to go inside.

I had so many questions in my head? Would Andrea still marry me? Did I really need to tell her? I mean it was a one night stand with Stephanie. It did not mean anything. I drove back to Andrea's parents house, and there she was. Looking as beautiful as ever. I knew Rick was right I had to tell her. I parked the police car, and walked up to her.

"Shane you look so sexy in that police officer uniform," Andrea said kissing my lips.

"You look amazing. Why did you not tell me you were in town already?"

"I was shopping with my mom and sister," She whispered.

"What for?"

"A wedding dress. I haven't found the one yet, but I can't wait for this our June wedding," She said her blue eyes shinning. How could I break her heart like this?

"Me either. As soon as I get transferred we should get married," I smiled slowly.

"That would perfect. I just have to find a dress first," She said sweetly.

"Yes and we need get everything worked out with the church. I know who important that is too you," I said.

I knew I needed to tell Andrea the truth, but at the moment I just could not bring myself to break her heart. She was so happy planning our wedding.
