♠Andy's POV♠
Jessie and I left my mom's house at the break of dawn for two reasons. One, we woke up extremely early and already had breakfast and two, Jessie was half naked and there were new neighbors. According to my mother, they were some nosy son of a guns. Knowing Jessie, this wasn't really a problem for her because I knew full well she would only flash them the bird and be done with it.
I, on the second hand was way too stiff to be concerned about how my best friend was dressed. I mean, this was Jessie Plummers for crying out loud, people should be expecting the weirdest coming from her.
That morning, if i could remember clearly was the one I arrived to work dressed in sweat pants and a button down long sleeved shirt. Fashion disaster, I know, no need to tell me.
Sadly enough, Luke was my very first client and he burst into a fit of laughter the moment he entered my office. The bastard was so lucky that my neck and entire body was too stiff for me to launch at him.
Taking a seat at my desk, I cracked my neck in attempt to loosen it up a bit. It wasn't the least surprising when I realized that I made it worse. Dang it, this was so not the best way to start off the day.
I didn't return home after leaving Jess' but instead showered and prepared for work there. Her skirts were way too short for my profession and her working pants were, as you can say 'ripped and snipped exposing too much meat'. You get the point right?
I'd rather look like a complete vagabond instead of resembling a prostitute on my second week of work. That's just not the way. Well, maybe if was the second month at the job, then fine, I could let my little, cough, influence me on how to dress.
Seeing it fit to be decent, I borrowed a shirt and her sweat pants and wore the same heels from the day before. Jessie being Jessie, told me not to wear those pants but instead the mini skirt she bought in the spring. From that point in time all I could do was ignore and move the f*ck out of her house before she forced me to wear it.
"Good morning," Luke sang, entering my office with his back turned facing me while he closed the door. Replying politely I say the same.
Standing up, I did the same as any other day last week. Taking my lounging position on the lounge chair, I waited for him to walk over and take a seat on the chair. The moment he spots my entire outfit, you could swear that he just heard the funniest joke in the entire world.
Drowning in a fit of laughter, Luke takes a sit but has his faced blocked behind his hand, trying to hold in his laughs. Failing epic, he even decides to make jokes about it.
"We're going for a jog or something for today's meeting Andy?" He asks, humor present in his voice. "Ha-Ha, very funny and mature Luke, very funny," I say, rolling my eyes at him and pointing my notepad in his direction.
"If you volunteer to be my live treadmill, we could work something out. I've never jogged in heels before," An evil grin was evident on my face as I spoke. Raising his hands up in defense, he quickly refrains from making any more jokes.
"Whoa, it's all cool Andy, it's all cool," With his statement I smile and then nod, placing my notepad down. He begins the session by saying, "I'm trying to move on with my life so I bought a cat."
Apart from that little dressing episode, my week went fairly well. Cameron and I were on some sort of good terms now. Well, that's only because I needed him and myself to be normal for the dinner at my mother's place.
Cameron was still acting suspicious about everything but I tried my best to brush it off, there was no need for any arguments this week. Maybe next week I could give him a piece of my mind once and for all. Maybe I will even confess. Yeah, that sounds like a bright idea.
Time flew by extremely quickly, if I do say so myself. Today was already Saturday and I was already getting dressed for the dinner. I wanted my mother's fiance to see me as a sophisticated adult, the proud daughter of Tiffany Jacob... Soon to be Tiffany something else; I hope that it sounds good.
Taking one last glance at the mirror, I approved of my outfit and then walked out of the room. I wore my hair down, my dress was a gold and sparkly straight one which was about mid thigh. There were a few bracelets on my right arm and my shoes were a classical peach rose color. In my eyes, it was simple and elegant at the same time.
Stepping down the stairs, I find Cameron standing, his back faced to me and his head down watching the screen of his phone. Anna was doing a little dusting when her head pops up an our eyes lock. I sensed that she was about to compliment me but I wanted to hear it from Cameron firstly.
Placing my index finger on my lips I made a shushing motion and she nods in understanding. Clearing my throat, Cameron places his phone in his pocket and turns around slowly. His eyes met mine, he stares up at me and I smile, walking down the remaining steps.
"Stunning as always," He compliments and I reply with a soft "thank you".
"You're not so bad yourself. Gold tie, who would have guessed," I say, running my fingers along said tie. He only smirks whispering into my ear, "Tonight seemed like a golden one."
"Mhmm," I hum, making way to the front door. "Goodbye Anna, I wish that you could come with us though," I say, and she dismisses us.
Stepping into the coolness of the night, Cameron decided that it was his duty to compliment me again for the night. "Andy you look so beautiful."
Shockingly, something was off, the way he said it had no connection. He was holding something back and I just knew it. Keeping my mouth shut, not wanting to ruin a soon to be perfect night, I brush off that thought.
* * *
The journey to my mother's house was a silent one. Neither of us tried to make any conversation with the other. I didn't know what the problem was. Were we growing apart? There was this terrible feeling deep down in my stomach, not knowing what was really going on.
Upon arrival, we all settled in and had some chit chat at the table. It wasn't the least surprising to see that Jess and Hunter hadn't arrived as yet.
"So Mr. Anderson, what do you do for a living?" I question, taking a sip on my drink. My mother, her finance, Cameron and I were all seated in the living room, getting to know each other. While my mother's fiance and I chatted, my mother and Cammy were engaged in conversation of their own.
"Please, call me Chad," He proposes. "I'm a physiotherapist and in my free time I help out a local orphanage. I take pride in helping others, you know?" He says, smiling at me, I could see the glint of content in his eyes and I couldn't help but agree with what he was saying.
Chad Anderson, tall, well built, was about two to three years older than my mother and total eye candy. For a man of his age, he sure looked good. My mother did well, she did very well. Not only does he have the looks, he has the brains and the personality to go with it.
He was a blonde just like my mother and myself, his eyes were the same shade of grey as Cameron's. By the way this night was going, I could tell that I would get along with him pretty well.
"What about you Andy?" He asks, leaning back into his chair, getting comfortable. The thought of that question in my head, made me smile sheepishly. My number one client popped into my head. None other than Luke.
"I've just been employed as a psychologist. Right now I haven't done anything productive because I'm still settling back into the neighborhood. Plus, I've had a distraction of my own," I say, taking a quick glace at Cameron.
A smirk was now visible on Chad's face as he lifts his glass up and wiggles his eyebrows at me, "Oh dear, I understand completely," He says, concluding things a little too quickly. Little did he know that what I was referring to had nothing to do with any physical activity. I let out a soft laugh and raised my glass also, taking a huge gulp afterwards.
"Who's the dumbsh*t now you good for nothing piece of sh*t!" Jessie's voice roared from outside, the moment we heard the car drive into the driveway. I could only imagine how upset she must have looked. Typical Jess and Hunter, always arguing and made up only moments after.
"You are! F*ck you're making me go insane Jessie," Soon after hearing Hunter's hiss, we heard a thud against the door. We on the inside gave each other weird stares and only shrugged because we had no clue as to what was going on.
A few seconds later, there was a soft knock and the door was opened. Jessie and Hunter walks in. As they stepped foot inside the house, my mother, Chad, Cameron and I burst into a fit of laughter. The two were flustered and Jessie's lipstick was smudged all over the place. As for Hunter, he too had lipstick all over his mouth.
"You two lovebirds can go get... Um cleaned up," My mother says, restraining from laughing out loud and then continues, "We'll be in the dining room waiting to get this dinner started,"
They nodded in understanding while the rest of us approached the dinning room. The smell of heavenly goodness filled my nostrils. If it won't for Chad being there, I would really pig out tonight. But, good manners for the first meeting.
He pulled out my mother's chair for her so that she could seat. Watching the two, even I was content. Cameron on the other hand, took a seat opposite to me; the thought of being a gentleman not crossing his mind at all.
After settling in, I noticed that Cameron was being more distant now than ever. I swear, if my pride wasn't in tact, I would be playing footsie with him under that table, but, I didn't want to mistake his leg for someone else's. Now that would be the death of me.
Jessie and Hunter joined us not long after. The six of us were having dinner peacefully when suddenly, Jess asks me a question out of the blue. "So how had Luke been treating you throughout the week?" She asks, not really asking me his business because I was sworn to secrecy.
Eyeing Jessie in such a way, to make her kill the topic I reply, "God, a pain in the *ss as always."
"Who's Luke?" Cameron probes, the tension in the room increasing. Jessie smiles at him, and then points her fork at me, "Little Andy has a past Cammy boy, she has a past. He's one of her clients."
At the sound of me having a past, I blanked out a bit. It seems that Cameron noticed the way Jess' little statement affected me and quickly stood up. "Will you please excuse Andy and me?"
Letting out a sigh, I follow after Cameron. We walk into the study and Cameron closes the door after himself. Gosh, why tonight out of all nights. I am not prepared to confess as yet. This wasn't how I imagined things to unfold. I knew that Jessie didn't want this to happen either.
Oh my God, what am I going to do?
Does it look as if you have a choice Andy. You're just going to go out and tell him. There is no way in damning hell that you can sugar cote this! Wow you seem to return in the worse of instances huh? But, my sub conscious had an actual point for once.
"Care to explain in detail? The way Jessie's eye had that ever so frequent evil glint made me realize that this guys wasn't just a client of yours. If you had a past with him, shouldn't his name have been mentioned before we started dating in high school. I'm trying my best to not have negative thoughts."
Cameron seemed pretty calm about all of this. My intention was to lie about it and tell him that the type of past wasn't what he was referring to. Letting out a sigh, I took a seat on the closest seat. I was beginning to feel a little faint.
"I have a confession," I start, my heart beating rapidly in my chest. There was no turning back now. My eyes didn't meet Cameron's eyes but instead stopped at his nose.
"Enlighten me," He says impatiently.
"Back at Uni, I met Luke and James and three other guys. I was feeling the need to-" Cutting myself off, I take a gulp. "The need to, confide in someone. I cheated on you Cameron. I took place in some shameful acts all because I was weak. I had sex with Luke and James and only made out with the other three."
There was silence at first. Tears of shame streamed down my face. What would happen now? Out of nowhere, the sound of Cameron's laughter thundered throughout the room.
"Fee-yew what a relief! I thought I was the only one who did the bad dead. Heads up Andy, you're not the only one who f*cked someone at Uni. In fact I did two girls. The one you saw me with and some other chick."
I didn't know this side of Cameron, he was like a beast. Swallowing the ball formed in my throat, I didn't know what to say. So, he was hoping that I would break my promise just so that his guilt would be in the shade? Really Cameron, who are you?
"Since we both did something wrong we can move on with our relationship, making sure that nothing of that sort happen ever again," I say, so much hope was present in my voice. Some part of me just knew that things won't going to be so simple but that's all I could have done; hope.
Cameron's expression was no longer jolly about what he just said, to be precise, he resembled a raging bull.
"So what Andy, do you think that I like all of this?' He asks, sounding frustrated. Pacing round the room, he fists he hair as he shot me a death glare every now and then.
"Well I'm not pleased either Cameron. That's all from our past, we can get past it," I plead, taking a stand. He looked me in the eye for one second then spoke up once more.
"No Andy, I just can't do this anymore."
My mind couldn't function right at this time. I didn't want to hear one more word from Cameron's mouth. He just broke my heart. My love, my everything, was just rejected in plain sight. He didn't even try to make an effort in making this relationship last longer.
Taking all my left over pride and stuffing it hard inside the remainder of my ego, I turned my back and stormed out of the house.
I didn't care anymore, I needed to get away from Cameron. Stepping out into the darkness of the night, I take a deep breath. My tears now felt cold on my face. I was dying on the inside. I should have just lied about it.
But, if I lied, he wouldn't come out of the shade. Ha, oh Cameron, you'll always be a f*ucking good for nothing piece of shit, lying conniving mother f*cker. I questioned him and he lied to my face, at least I never lied to his face. That just shows how much I really and truly meant to him. Nothing.
"Andy!" I didn't notice that I was still standing outside the door. I felt a had on my shoulder turn me around. It was Cameron. I officially was emotionless as ever, my face have became dull and pail. "What exactly are we going to-"
Not knowing what got over me, I kicked him in the groin and continued my run. I needed this escape, he wasn't letting me breathe. I was now single after six years. After a long as hell six years I was now single!
Of all ways for us to end. I wasn't really sure as to where I was headed but I ran in my heels, in the night. The risks of this never crossed my mind because my heart was broken and I didn't want to admit it out loud just as yet.
Gosh, why did I actually think that Cameron would understand and we could move on together. He should know that I love him way too much to repeat the same mistake after my confession. Damn it, I'm a mess.
F*ck you Cameron Smith, ex- bad boy, you broke my heart, are you happy?!
