Defending Jacob: The Aftermath Book 1

Secrets and Lies

Andy walked into her house, for a second he thought I need to control myself. He was only there to help Jacob. He was standing there in her kitchen, he saw her sitting at the island on her laptop. He thought he saw some tears, and his heart gave in. He couldn't watch her cry, he felt he needed her right than and there. He walked up to her, she looked up at him with tears. He grabbed her hand got her to stand up, wrapped his arms around her pulling her into him so she could feel how bad he wanted her. He kissed her, she didn't stop him or pulled away, she opened her mouth to let his tongue to hers. They stood there kissing he eventually was kissing he neck, she was pulling his shirt off, he undid her dress lifted off her and took her upstairs to her bed. He laid her down and was on top of her he looked down and her she was beautiful. His erection was full and by now they where both naked consuming each other. They spent hours like this together. Andy didn't know if it was  lust, passion or more. He was feeling joy and love being inside of her. 

When they where done, Andy grabbed and pulled her onto his chest lying in her bed, it was late. She looked up at him, she was falling in love with him. She didn't know how to stop it. He was married. She was trying to help him find answers and save his family, not screwed him. 

"Andy, I think we should just keep this to texting, we can let this happen, I'm trying to help save your family, marriage not destroy it more." She had tears saying this to him.

"Charlotte, my marriage was destroyed a long time ago, by my own lies. It has only gotten worse. I don't know and maybe never knew my wife completely." he said.

"Laurie loves you and your son, Andy she would never hurt you both." she said.

He looked at her and couldn't believe what he was about to say. "She tried to kill Jacob, I'm piecing it together. I told her I loved her the night before the accident she just walked away. I said she could take time to herself apart from us." 

Andy remember the fight the night before Jacob was acquitted in court, he slept on that couch that night too.

"The night before Jacob was freed we got into a fight, I asked if she wanted me to say are marriage was a lie, a joke and that our son killed someone." he said.

"Andy, what happened, why did she believe Jacob was capable of something so bad, he not the one who did it, I found something." she told him.

"Jacob wasn't the easiest baby or child, and the story that fucking story he made up online, she believed he was confessing. What worse when I said those things to her, she look and said no to me no, but doesn't mean it's not true. She told me our life was a lie, I can't be with her anymore." he said starring back.

"Charlotte, you have giving me hope again, you make me happy, when I'm around you I don't have to lie or hide secrets from you. Please what did you find out. I want this nightmare over with." Andy asked

"I went on Ben's computer, he had this hidden follower he told me  about along time ago, I'm not happy what I found, how he liked that girl Sarah, he said some cute things to her, but than he changed and threaten her. I found death threats though to Ben from Derek Yoo, that if he didn't delete those pictures of Sarah, than he knew where he could get a knife that Ben better watch his back." she told him.

"Derek that fucking kid, I knew he was more involved, I wonder if there's away to find out if he had access to Jacob's emails and passwords for his accounts." Andy asked.

"Andy I'll keep digging on my end but we just need to text I can't do this to your marriage. Your just lost right now with everything Andy I love...." she said

Just as she spoke he stop her, kissing her once more again they consumed each other bodies. It was passionate, she was moaning with him inside of her. His arms wrapped around her and her arms around his muscular back. She stopped fighting her battles inside. When they finished she fell asleep on Andy chest, he kissed her goodnight on her forehead. 

The alarm went off it was 6am Charlotte jumped up realizing Andy was still here. She woke him.

"Andy you stay all night you have got to go what if someone see you leaving here?" she panicked.

"What I got to go, I will comeback, I want to clear Jacob to Laurie once and for all, but I'm done with her. I promise." he said as he got dressed walked over to Charlotte and kissed her again. 

"I'm falling in love with you Charlotte, I want this to work we just need to keep this to us for now." He said as he left.

Andy raced home and went inside Laurie was still sleeping. He went to the couch and pretended to been sleeping there all night. He kept think Derek fucking liar kid. He figured he'd ask Jacob about sharing his profile information at all. Andy fell asleep and all could dream of was her and their night together, how he wanted it more. He go back the next night if not sooner. They had to keep a low profile, so one would find out. He woke hearing Laurie come downstairs she saw an empty bottle she got mad.

"Still fucking drinking you learned nothing from sleeping down here again. Andy I'm done with the lies, I came down last night to say sorry you weren't here, where were you?" she snapped.

"Fuck off Laurie, your going to question me, I'll have done is nothing but be there for you through all of this marriage you called a lie before. I got questions but you can fucking remember things." he yelled back.

"You want to talk about lies, Andy you lied to me from day one about you father." she yelled.

"I did that to protect you, it was what I was raised to say all those years, you can understand that for me at all." he yelled.

They walked away from each other both got dress and took the car to the hospital to visit Jacob. They didn't say much to each other, Laurie just said for Jacob sake this stays between us. Andy agreed, they where heading down the same road of the car accident it was raining. Laurie had something snap in her.

"Leonard Patz." she said in shock.

"What?" Andy said.

"Holy fuck Andy you lied to me, I remember in Mexico you where drunk outside crying. You told me that man in the lincolin he killed Patz." she looked at him.

"Laurie I don't know what...." he said.

"Don't fucking lie to me Andy not about this, if that true who killed Ben, I know Jacob didn't do it he couldn't have or did he I need to know." she said.

 "Ok yes Patz was killed but Laurie Jake didn't do it you know that please don't go down this road again, it almost killed our son." he said back.

"You think I tried to kill my son, I don't remember everything since Mexico and after it, how could you say that to me don't speak to me unless around Jake." she yelled.

They parked at the hospital and went inside, they got to the elevator, and there she was waiting for it to Charlotte. Andy smiled at her remember their night and what more he wanted with her. She smiled back.

"Oh good morning Mrs and Mr Barber nice to see you." she said.

They all got into the elevator Laurie and Andy did say hi back to her. There was tension in the small space between all the of them. The elevator stopped at floor 4 she got off and went to work. Laurie just ignored everything but inside she knew something was up so she asked.

"How does Dr. Brown's assistant know you, what was that all about?" she said.

"Laurie, come on I went to Dr. Brown's office to book an appointment at your request for myself." he said laughing.

They got off the elevator, went to see Jake in his room, they put up a good united front for his sake. They both had lies and secrets now. Andy was laughing making jokes they all where laughing together. Like how they used to be, Andy was just waiting for night time though when Laurie would go sleep and he could go to her. She was his biggest secret but if he had his way, she wouldn't be for long.
