Chapter Two
Andrea fought hard to remain pleasant the entire ride home with Jc, but it was nearly impossible. She had never felt guiltier about anything in her entire life. Jc rubbed her leg suggestively inside the limo. Looking in his eyes she could see they were darkened with lust. There was only one thing on his mind: sex. The problem was, there was only one thing on her mind as well to: Justin.
Once they arrived at Jc's penthouse in New York the door had barely closed before he began ripping her clothes off. Andrea rolled her eyes as she felt him begin to suck on her neck. How could she do this with him? She had just finished sleeping with his best friend. Now the man she supposedly loved wanted to make love to her, and she just wanted to curl up and go to sleep.
Part of her felt guilty, but the other part of her became infuriated. Who did he think he was? One moment, she was at the bottom of his list, and the next she had to surrender to his every wish. For the entire night he had treated her like shit, not even looking at her or speaking to her. Usually he would check up to make sure she was doing all right or even introduce her proudly to some people, but tonight none of that had happened. And after pretending he didn't even know her, now he wanted sex? She was a human, and she didn't have to take it.
Andrea shoved him off of her and side stepped him.
Jc grunted and pulled her back. His erection pressed against her lower back as he began kissing along her neck.
Andrea once again shrugged him off and stepped away.
"Aw, come here baby," He said in his seductive tone as she took a step away from him.
Andrea turned around with anger glowing in her eyes, "Excuse me?"
Jc grinned, "Are you playing hard to get tonight? I like it," with that he lunged at her again. But before he could kiss her or press himself against her Andrea pushed him away.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" Jc asked.
Andrea's chocolate eyes were flaming now, "What the hell is the matter with you Joshua?"
Jc was stunned by her sudden outburst. She was a fiery vixen when he met her. That was one thing he loved about her, all the passion she had and she put into everything. But she never used his full name, unless she was seriously mad.
"What's going on?" He asked, the anger in his voice subsiding a little.
Andrea rolled her eyes for the second time that evening, "What's going on is you treat me like shit all night but still expect a good fuck when we get back home."
Jc sighed loudly, "Treat you like shit? What are you talking about?"
Andrea glared at him, "You know exactly what I'm talking about. Lately Joshua you drag me to appearance after appearance and party after party. You used to introduce me proudly to everyone, show me off. Now you abandon me in a room full of strangers and the only thing you say to me the entire time we're there is 'It's time to go'. Well I'm sick of it. If you're going to treat me like that don't expect me to want to sleep with you when we get home. Don't use me like that Josh, I'm better than that and you know it," She spat at him.
Jc's face went from confused to hurt by the end of her tirade, "I'm sorry baby. I didn't notice that."
This made her go ballistic, "Of course you didn't you stupid asshole. You're too busy entertaining all of those people to even notice what I'm wearing nowadays! What am I to you Josh? Some stupid slut you can bring to a party for all the guys to look at but still take home at the end of the night to have sex with? Is that what I am? A good fuck to you?" Andrea yelled at him.
Jc's face twisted in anger, "I never said that! And how would you understand anything? Try being me for one damn day. Then you'd see what happens when you don't show up here and don't talk to this person or that person. How dare you put words in my mouth? A good fuck? What is this bullshit Andrea? Where is this all coming from?"
Andrea scowled, "It's coming from me Jc. This is how I feel. I'm sorry if I'm not on your top priority list. Maybe this isn't working out after all," then Andrea took off up the stairs and slammed their bedroom door shut. She locked it and sank on their King sized canopy bed. As much as she wanted to hate him and be angry, she couldn't stop the tears from rolling down her cheeks.
Jc stared at the spot where she had been standing only a few seconds ago. He opened his mouth but was speechless. Where had all of this come from? It was a problem that had obviously been bothering her for quite some time. Why hadn't she said anything before? Why was it all exploding out of her mouth now?
Jc poured himself a drink of Jack Daniels. He drank it numbly thinking about all that had just happened. What were her words? Maybe this isn't working out after all. Her words echoed in his mind over and over. Could she honestly mean that? Was she going to leave him?
Then he began to think about how important she really was to him. He didn't know what he'd do without her. Andrea had been with Jc for about six months now. He had put a lot of time and energy into their relationship. Was she just going to throw that away now?
Suddenly Jc was frozen with fear. What if she had ever intention of carrying out her plan? What if she really did leave him? Jc knew he couldn't live without her. He climbed the stairs and knocked softly on the door.
"Go away," Andrea's voice was muffled through tears.
The sound tugged at his heartstrings even more, "Andrea, please. We need to talk baby."
"Don't baby me," Andrea yelled loud and clear, "Maybe I don't want to talk."
Jc sat down outside the door and leaned against it, "Please Rea. I don't want to lose you. Let me in."
Andrea sat up on their bed and stared at the closed door, "Why should I? You horny again?"
Jc sighed, "Come on Rea, that was a low blow."
"That's all you care about anymore Jc. Whether or not you get laid," Andrea said huffily.
"That's not true Andrea. I love you. You know I love you. I would do anything in the world for you. I'm sorry I've been so absentminded lately. You know I have a lot on my mind. It's my fault for taking it out on you, which was wrong. But please don't end this baby because we have so much. Don't take that all away. I don't know what I'd do without you," Jc said sadly.
Andrea stood up, "I'm just so tired of feeling second all the time Jace. I know the life you live doesn't make relationships easy, but could I come first just once in awhile?"
Jc leaned with his back against the door, "You are first baby, I just don't show it well. You're my top priority, and I know I don't deserve you. But believe me, I appreciate you. I really do. I promise I'll try harder to show you how much I care. I'll even take tomorrow off?"
Andrea opened the door and he turned around, "Promise?" She smiled sweetly at him.
Jc smiled and stood up, "Promise," And then he leaned in and kissed her with all he had. Their kiss was long and sensual. With that kiss Jc showed her just how important she was to him.
And as they made love that night he constantly reassured her of how much he loved her. Even hours afterwards when they lay in each others' arms, Jc whispered softly in her ear, "I love you babygirl."
Andrea smiled, "Love you too Papi," She leaned back against his naked torso, her back to him. He hugged her tightly. As he kissed along her shoulders once again she began to think about Justin.
