“Dude, stop staring like that” Andy said. “I’m going to start to believe Linc was right about you” Cas frowned. “What do you mean?”
“Never mind” Andy said.
“I didn’t know you were Shannen’s boyfriend” Cas said.
“Does that matter?” Andy asked.
“Andy’s the reason I got to babysit Alex” Shannen explained. “He introduced me to Zoey”
“Oh, I get it” Cas said. He looked at the clock. “I should go to the hospital. Zoey will begin to wonder where I am”
“Yeah, go ahead” Shannen said. “And tell Zoey not to worry about Lex. We can stay the night here, can’t we, Andy?”
Andy nodded and Cas left. Andy turned to Alexia. “Hey, Lex, why don’t you check my bag? There might be something in there for you”
Alexia jumped off her chair and ran to Andy’s bag. She opened it and pulled out a color book. “Oh, I love it! Can I color, Shanny?”
“ ‘Course you can” Shannen said.
Alexia walked back to the table, while Shannen took out the pencils and put them on the table. While Alexia was occupied with her book, Andy took Shannens arm.
“Can I talk to you for a minute?” he said soft, but insisting. He got up and Shannen followed him into the hallway, after telling Alexia where she went.
“What’s going on?” Shannen asked.
Andy put up his hands. “Maybe I’m just being paranoid. If I am, tell me and I’ll never mention it again” he started.
“Andy, what are you talking about?” Shannen asked confused.
“What were you doing upstairs with that man?” he asked upfront.
“Wait, that’s what this is about? You’re jealous? Andy, you really are paranoid” Shannen said demeaning.
“Then you can just tell me what you were doing. I mean, if it was innocent” Andy said.
Shannen squeezed her eyes and pulled up her nose. “Fine, we had sex. Happy now?”
Andy’s mouth dropped open a little. He wasn’t sure if she was joking or not.
“Don’t look at me like that” Shannen said. “The guy’s never been laid before. I felt sorry for him”
Andy took a few steps back and walked back into the kitchen. He grabbed his bag and wanted to leave, when Shannen gripped his arm.
“Andy, please” she begged him.
Andy jerked his arm and Shannen lost her balance and fell on the floor. “You’re a slut. I never want to see you again”
That being said he left the house and slammed the door.
Shannen scribbled up and opened the door. She ran outside.
“Andy, wait!”
