As you get ready for the party you can't help but allow your gaze to follow Andy and think to yourself, "oh boy. Here we go again until one of us goes back on tour." You try to shake the thoughts from your head as you up your makeup and change your outfit. Pulling on your cropped, black shirt over your black lace bra you hear Andy's bedroom door creep open as you were using it to change.
"Occupied!" You yell, trying to rush putting on your shirt and tell the intruder to go away at the same time.
"As I recall, this is my room." Andy had a smirk on his face as he slowly shuts his bedroom door again.
You roll your eyes and turn to the mirror to adjust your top just the right way. "I'll be done in a sec." Hoping he'd get it.
Andy peers over your shoulder as he's now standing right behind you. "You're still as gorgeous as the day I first laid my eyes on you." You feel your cheeks heat as you turn to look at him.
"Andy, listen." Your eyes searching his. "We can't keep doing this. One of us comes home for a couple weeks, we fall back together, we leave, and it's broken hearts all over again in a vicious cycle. You know I will always love you but we can't keep doing this." He doesn't say anything as you finish your rambling. Instead, he reaches for your torso and with a light hand, his skin finds yours. His eyes drop to follow the motions of his limb as it makes contact. "Summer, I know you're right but I also know we were made for each other. We can't resist each other no matter how hard we try or who we're with. Look at just the simple reaction of what my hand does to you... even after countless times.." he trails off after referring to your past. His eyes meet yours again and they are black, no brown to be seen. Your skin is prickled with goose bumps from the anticipation of his touch.
"And if I just slowly..." his words fall off again and the agonizingly slow movements of his hand trails higher, almost reaching your bra line. "...make my way to one of your favorite..." he was torturing you. His thumb rubbed against your ribs through the lace of the fabric. Your breathing was hitched. Your eyes not leaving his- something you know he loves. Just as his thumb gently rubs over your nipple, you can already feel how hard it is for him. You can't find your words but you feel a faint drum of wanting, needing more of his touch. His hand falls from your side but goes to move the hair from your shoulder, gaining clear access of your weakest spot, your jaw. Andy curves a gentle but strong hand around your throat, his thumb under your chin so you can't not look at him while his fingers curve around the back of your neck.
"Andy..I.." you can't find the rest of the words you had been meaning to say to him.
"I know you invited someone, Summer, you don't have to say it." Shock must've flashed across your face. He always knew what you were thinking. His hand tighten more firmly as he leaned towards your ear, "but you won't be able to think about him tonight." He finished his sentence by kissing where his thumb had been, clouding your thoughts, before leaving you to finish getting ready.

After gathering yourself and making sure the heat from your cheeks has returned to normal along with your heart, you make your way to join the others who have already started drinking. You take your place at the island beside Leah, not meeting hers or Andy's gaze. She had just got your text and knew something had happened. She would want to know the details asap but you didn't want talk about it yet. A shot of Jim slid across the island toward you.
"Ready to get this party started." Andy said with a smirk on his face. Your eyes darted away and you downed the liquid.
"Another one, please." Was all you could muster. You checked your phone since you hadn't all day.

Eric: We'll be there. I'm bringing the boys. I can't wait to see you again.

Again you had a hint of a smile but felt mostly guilty for wrapping him in this (triangle)?

Leah🥰: you know I can't stop the inevitable but don't forget you invited eric. also tell me everything that just happened.

You replied:
Brennan is coming too btw so we'll see what happens with you and Taddie and I'll go from there ;)
