[STORY] Amanda (Episode 13)

Episode 13

Amanda had never been so shocked in her entire life; seeing him there, looking so smart and handsome in his three piece suit tore down all the confidence she had built; she had no other choice but to run. She also felt stupid.

‘I slapped him, I slapped the boss’ those were her thoughts as she ran down the stairs, down into the streets.

In a swirl of confusion, she had failed to see the speeding vehicle; the last thing she heard was a loud screaming of her name: “Mandy”! by a very familiar voice, but it was too late, the fender of the car rammed into her. She gasped as she felt herself fall.

Everything else faded; and she was plunged into the field of flowers, the place where it rained silver, the place he had kissed her.

Alex rushed down to where her friend lay; tears stung her eyes as she stared at the driver of the classic Mustang.

‘What the hell where you thinking driving like that’? Alex yelled at him.

‘I am so sorry,I…’ the driver raised his hands up.

Though her legs hurt badly; she had not gone out completely; she just felt weak and sleepy.

‘Mandy? Please say something’ Alex begun to cry.

‘Amanda’? The driver moved closer to her as he recognized the face.

‘Hell! Stop calling her name, dial 911 or something’ Alex couldn’t hold back her frustration.

‘Okay! Okay’ he fetched his phone and was about to dial when he spotted his elder brother running towards the scene.

‘Nathan? What the hell did you do’? Morgan was the face to notice him.

‘I swear to you, it was a mistake’ Nathan threw his hands in the air.

‘Were you drinking or something’? Greg glared at him darkly; not that he cared about the girl in question; she had slapped him and he couldn’t forget it. He was just concerned that this happened around the Beecroft’s premises.

‘She is awake! Mandy, how are you feeling’? Alex took off the beret that held her hair captive and her blonde curls fell free.

‘I think I went to heaven’ Amanda smiled; the pain she felt had faded away.

‘We still need to get her to the hospital’ Alex fired at Nathan.

‘Sure, I’ll do it’ Nathan offered.

‘I’ll come with you’ Alex helped Mandy up her feet.

They’d almost reached Nathan’s car when a deep and commanding baritone caused them all to pause.

‘I’ll take her, alone, the rest of you can go to work’ Greg moved forward and snatched the keys of the Mustang from his brother.

‘I am coming with you’ Alex was about to protest, she didn’t know this guy and she didn’t know if her friend’s was in good hands.

‘I’ll be fine Alex’ Amanda’s eyes danced dreamily as Greg placed her in the backseat of the car.

‘He is a gentleman, I promise you’ Morgan rubbed Alex’s shoulder.

‘Alright, I feel so scared, what really went on back there’? Alex turned to Morgan.

‘Hmmmm, appears to me Greg and Mandy have met somewhere before’ Morgan stated matter of factly.

‘Where did they meet’? Nathan was interested in the conversation.

He had searched the net for days but he couldn’t find his “Amanda”, the sexy blue eyed goddess.

‘Can you just find something else to do instead of hanging around like a sissy’? Morgan scowled at him.

‘Okay, whatever’ Nathan snorted and moved away.

‘Who is that anyway’? Alex stared after Nathan.

‘Nathan, Greg’s younger brother, but he is not important, let us focus on Greg and Mandy’ Morgan brought back her attention to what they had been discussing.

‘Oh, I don’t know. I don’t think those two have ever met’ Alex was surprised.

‘Really? Because Greg mentioned that your friend slapped him at the party we met? Does that ring a bell’?

Suddenly, it dawned on Alex why Amanda had appeared like that; she ran like she had seen a ghost.

‘Oh my God, this is not happening; can I ask you a quick question’? Alex inhaled deeply.

‘Go on’ Morgan nodded.

‘Is Greg a forgiving person’? Alex asked.

Morgan lifted his brows, why would she ask that? ‘Not really’.

‘Not really? As in Yes or No’? Alex repeated.

‘No’ Morgan replied.

‘Well, something happened back in the club; Greg sent Amanda an obscene note, she got pissed and ended up hitting him; I wouldn’t blame her, I would’ve done same if someone were to send me an obscene message’ Alex returned.

‘Alex sent her an obscene note? Are you sure’? Morgan was skeptical.

‘Of course, she has never lied to me, if that’s what you’re insinuating’ Alex felt offended that Morgan would see her friend in bad light.

‘Hey, come on, I didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that, your friend is not exactly Greg’s type’ Morgan was sure of this.

Amanda seemed like a simple girl; she wasn’t material and she looked inexperienced in the things of the world. Shw was a far cry from Greg’s trail of glamourous dolls.

‘Excuse me’? Alex bit her lip.

‘Hey babe, we shouldn’t even be talking about this; I am sure they will sort themselves out. I like your friend already and I feel she would be a good personal assistant to Greg, The past doesn’t matter’ Morgan reached out for her hands.

‘So, are we still on for our date tonight’? Morgan winked.

‘I don’t know, I need to know that my friend is okay’Alex shrugged.

‘Oops, okay then, I’ll check up on you later. I really want us to be more Alex’ Morgan placed a light kiss on her hair.

‘Me too’ she smiled
