Wicked Heart Beat - A Listen To Your Heart Book

Jealousy

Audrey sighed as she and Crystal stepped into their room. Her feet were sore from her shoes. Wearing heels on a shopping day was not a good idea but they were too cute to pass up. She threw her shopping bags on her bed and took off her shoes. Crystal did the same and went to the bathroom to get ready for bed.

Aubrey was massaging her feet when she heard a knock on the door. She sighed as she stood up and winced. She cursed under her breath as she made her way to the door. Opening it, she found an exasperated Jay holding two baby robots. Audrey laughed at Jay's appearance. His hair was disheveled and he was covered in robot food and puke.

"Hey Jay," Audrey chuckled. "Um can I help you?"

Jay scowled. "Yeah. Here's Lily." He handed her their baby and stepped into her room. "Uh where's Crystal? I got her kid too."

"She's in the bathroom." Audrey answered. "I take it being single dads took a toll on Ben and you."

"No, just me."

"What?"

Jay chuckled. "He had kingly duties so he ditched me with two robotic brats. All. Day. And unfortunately for me Chad is sad, Doug and Carlos had some smart thing and the mothers were shopping."

Audrey scoffed. "Sorry but I was helping a friend. "

"Yeah, whatever."

"Sup, Jay," Crystal greeted as she walked out of the bathroom. She was in her pjs and went to her bed. Audrey glared as Jay looked Crystal up and down.

"Hey C," Jay smirked. "Nice legs."

Crystal blushed. "Th-thanks. Is that my baby?" She asked changing the subject.

"Uh yeah," Jay said. He handed Lily to a fuming Audrey and made his way over to Crystal. He handed her the baby, his hand lingering slightly on hers. Crystal only reddened more.

"Well we're gonna have. A guys night with Chad to get his mind off the break up," Jay said. "But I'll see you around." He winked at Crystal and left the girls' room.

Crystal blushed and rocked her baby to sleep and placed it into the makeshift crib she made. Audrey did the same. Audrey didn't know why she felt all of sudden like punching her best friend in the face, but she did.

"Don't fall for it," she suddenly said. Crystal looked at her confused.

"What do you mean?"

"Jay," Audrey hissed. "He's laying it on pretty thick. But don't fall for his charm."

"He was flirting with me?" Crystal smiled.

"Duh," Audrey rolled her eyes. "You couldn't tell?"

"I can't believe it." Crystal said. "Jay likes me?"

"Probably," Audrey. "But he's a player and a flirt. So stay away from him, unless you want to get your heart broken."

"Oh," Crystal said. "You're right. I won't fall for it. I promise." She smiled and rolled over in her bed to go to sleep.

Audrey felt relieved, but she didn't understand why. Something was off with her and she didn't know what.
