Another Love

The Fight

"JJ, you've been so distant. What is wrong!?"

"Nothing,Will! Stay out of my business. I need privacy if you want this marriage to work. I do not need to say everything I feel!"

"God JJ! I love and care about you. And you are acting crazy! What is the matter with you?"

"I'm leaving. Take care of Henry. I need time, don't follow me."

[Later in the Bar]

"Another round," I say waving down the bartender.

"Okay sweetheart." they say.

I down three more rounds before I hear a familiar voice call my name.

"JJ, what are you doing here tonight?"

I look up and see a dark chiseled face. I get up from my seat to hug him.

"Derek. What are you doing here?" I say giving him a smirk and a quiet drunk laugh.

"JJ, you're drunk."

"Yeah, I am. And I need to be." I sighed.

"Hmm, well let's order a few more rounds!" Derek says flagging the bartender.

"Thanks, Derek." I say putting my head down on the bar.

"What's upsetting you Jayje?"

"Will. He is mad with me."

"Drinking away your problems, huh?"

"You guessed it."

[A few hours later]

We laugh our heads off, drunk as ever.

"Derek, you're too funny."

"All you, baby girl."

I put myself all over Derek. He hugs me tight.

"Well we should get going, it's 3 a.m."

"Yeah, it's late."

He takes my hand and leads me out the bar. I put my head into his arm. We call a cab and we head back to Derek's apartment. I can't face Will.

His smile looks so good as he looked into my eyes as we enter his apartment. What am I thinking? I'm married. It's a horrible marriage but I took vows. God, I am stupid. Will is nothing but nice to me. What am I doing at Derek Morgan's apartment at 3:30 a.m. on a Sunday morning?

Derek clears his throat. I laugh and gaze into his eyes.

"JJ, I want you to know something."

"What is it Derek?"

"I-I"
