Billie Joe sat on the coffee table across from Adrienne while Mike stood awkwardly to the side. He had his hands folded in front of him and was leaning forward on his knees.

“Adrienne, look at me, please.” He said softly.

Adrienne kept her ivory face turned down and away from both of them, her chocolate curls cascading down and covering most of her face. A few silent tears trailed down her flushed cheeks and she inhaled deeply.

“Adrienne, it wasn’t like we planned this against you.” Billie Joe began, “I still love you. I’m not leaving you. You’re the only woman I’ll ever love.”

“Adrienne, you knew we were, well, together before you married Billie Joe. But we said we were never gonna’ do this again. But we did and it just… happened, and I’m sorry. I never wanted to cause you pain like this.”

Adrienne sniffed and looked at Billie Joe, “Is he good? Huh? Is Mike good in bed?”

“Adrienne, I-“

“Tell me, Billie Joe. Does he say your name?” She turned to Mike, “What about Billie Joe? Does he moan your name when he comes? Oh, and who’s on top normally?”

“Adrienne, this is hardly appropriat-“ Mike stammered.

“Oh, this isn’t appropriate, but cheating is? I see.”

Billie Joe squeezed his eyes shut, “For God sake’s, Adrienne. Shut up. Listen to me, I. Still. Love. You. Okay? I don’t love you any less than I did that first night.”

“How big is Mike? Does he fill you up?” Adrienne was trying to keep her angry composure, but was slowly breaking down, “How does it feel to be inside of my husband, Mike? How does it feel?”

Billie Joe reached for her hands and she flinched away, tears falling down her cheeks and dotting her jeans. She broke down and leaned into Billie Joe’s chest. He pulled her tight against himself and buried his nose in her hair. Her breaths were shaky and rattling her frame.

“Hush, Adie. Please, I’m sorry we all got so cross. I never meant for this to happen. But I’m not leaving you; I love you too much to leave you. I just need to know that you’re okay with Mike and I being together.”

“How can I be o-okay with the f-fact that I’m not enough f-for my husband?”

“You’re enough for me, Adrienne-“

“Then why do you go to him? Why do you need him?”

“Adrienne, it’s love. Aren’t you still in love with me like I’m in love with you… and with Mike? Can’t you feel that pull where all you want is to hold me and be with me?”

“Well, yeah, but this isn’t right. It’s not right.”

“Why not Adrienne?” Mike barely whispered.

“When I met Billie Joe, everything was perfect. I fell in love, I was young and… stupid.” She shot, “Very stupid, obviously. And then we got engaged and married. We had Joey. Then Jakob. I never thought any of this would happen.

I always had this perfect life. I had everything all the other girls wanted. I guess I never thought he’d fall for somebody else, Mike, least of all, you. Everything is crumbling.” She sobbed into Billie Joe’s chest, “I love him!”

Tears ran down Billie Joe’s cheek and chin, “I love you too. I never want to lose you. I just want you to be okay with us having a relationship. You’re still my wife and the one I love.”

Adrienne wiped at her mascara-stained face with the back of her hand, “I’ll never be okay with it. Never. I don’t want to know when you guys are together. I wish you never would have told me.”

“Adrienne, you’re my wife. I don’t want to lie to you anymore.”

“I wish you would.” Adrienne whispered, “I’m going to take a bath, I need to relax.”

“Do you want me to run it?”

She shook her head, “No, no. I’ll do it. Please leave me be.”

Billie Joe and Mike nodded as she left the room. Mike sat down on the couch across from Billie Joe and held his hands.

“I guess the worse is over?”

Billie Joe tried to smile, “I guess.”

Rifinito.

I think the verse tie-in is a little vague. Basically, I'm taking the part of regret and pulling it into the chapter... in case you didn't get it.
So it was requested I post faster... was this fast enough? XD
