Patrick Stump and His Lawyer Lady (WARNING CONTAINS EROTICA) #wattys2015

Chapter 14: Cross my heart, cross my fingers

Patrick's POV

"Hey Sarah, what's going on with Andy and Tony down there?"

Sarah just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know but I really like her Patrick. Her taste in wine is also delectable." she said referring to the dry red in her hand.

I had seen Andy and Tony talking, he had helped Tony up then she had turned around and given him a wave of her fingers as if to say "don't even think about it."

Maybe I was just overly suspicious being that my ex had cheated on me. I don't know why I was acting so jealous but when Tony and Andy got to us, I immediately wrapped her up into my arms and tried to make light of it.

"Hey baby, I hope Andy didn't bore you with how being a straight edge vegan is the way to a longer life."

We all laughed as we had all gotten this lecture at least twice. "Not at all honey. He and I were just discussing our jobs." She kissed my cheek and whispered softly. "We'll talk later."

Our lunch went by and soon everyone was hugging and kissing each other goodbye. I felt a tinge of jealousy as Andy went for his hug and kiss until I mentally chided myself. There's no way one of your friends would make a move on your girlfriend and Tony deals with divorces and separations daily so I doubt she would ever be unfaithful.

As soon as we started clearing up I asked her what she wanted to talk about when she had come back with Andy.

Tony's POV

I was not one to lie or keep secrets so I told Patrick everything that happened in that short time with Andy. I finished off my story and didn't want to cause any trouble.

"Honey, I know it's hard to believe me especially regarding a close friend of yours but I'm also not going to keep secrets or omit anything when it comes to us. I'm not going to treat him any different and I don't think you should either. It was probably a slip of the tongue on his part. Or too much non-alcoholic beer."

We both laughed at this.

"Thank you for telling me Tony. I appreciate your honesty and I'll only do something about it if I feel there's a line Andy's crossed. You're a really trustworthy woman and that's a lot coming from me. It's been a long day though, can we get some sleep?"

It seemed to me there was something still bothering him. I couldn't argue though, I was completely exhausted myself and had already changed into some sleep shorts and a sweat shirt.

We got to bed and, I asked Patrick to sing me to sleep again. That had me out cold in five minutes.

It was about 02:00 when I woke up to a laptop light next to me. Patrick seemed to be having trouble sleeping.

"Honey, you're still up? Is there something wrong? Do you want to talk about it?"

He smiled over at me. "I'm just jotting down a song but I'm done now baby."

He switched off his laptop and cuddled up to me again, this time kissing my cheek and calling me his queen. He started singing to me again to help me sleep, but there was something strange to what he sang.

"Sometimes I wanna quit this all and become an accountant now.

But I'm no good at math and beside the dollar is down

Plant palm trees on Lake Michigan before it gets cold

I gotta feel the wind chill again before I get old

I wanna scream I love you from the top of my lungs

But I'm afraid that someone else would hear me

You can only blame your problems on the world for so long

Before it all becomes the same old song..."

I think that's where I fell asleep.
