Chapter 40

“Oh, come on, Andrews,” she lectured herself, “You’ve got a job to do. Get your sorry ass out of bed.”

She threw off the covers and slid her legs over the side of the bed.

“Okay. Wake up. Take a shower and get dressed.” She pushed herself into the bathroom and turned the shower on. As soon as the temperature was right, she stepped inside.

“Shit, Andrews,” she said as she started to lose her balance. She had to balance herself and put her hand on the wall. As the water cascaded over her, she though back to the beginning of the week.

“What are you doing?” she asked herself. You almost cheated on Michael Thursday night, and it was only a kid. I seriously doubt she is twenty-three, probably not even twenty-one. You’ve never worried about the people who got arrested because of you. Why is Laurie different? Because I was tempted? No, it never stopped me before. Of course, that was before she and Michael had taken their relationship to the next level.
