[STORY] Amanda (Episode 19)

Episode 19

Sometimes it was difficult to believe you cared about me at all, but whenever I stared into your beautiful eyes, I knew that you had feelings for me. Even when you chased after other girls, I still knew you had come back to me’ she said. She couldn’t believe Greg’s confession of his love for her.

‘I know and I am sorry. I swear to be faithful to you only from now henceforth’.

‘I love you so much Greg; I love you more than you can ever know’ she cried.

‘Me too. I am glad I realized how special you are to me. I promise to love you and our unborn child’ his hands caressed her belly and she smiled.

Her heart was content that Greg had realized this truth, even more content that her secret was safe.

His phone buzzed ‘Excuse me love, I’ll have to take this, it could be important’.

‘Go ahead’ Wendy nodded.

Greg’s face split into a smile as he saw it. Now the rude ass girl that slapped him at the party could take her job back as she had just sent him an email message: it was an apology.

‘I got you something’ he turned off his phone and faced her.

He fetched a casing from his pocket and handed it to her.

‘What is it Greg’? Her heart race, she was sure it was her engagement ring, but she knew Greg quite well.

He couldn’t have engaged her in such a boring, so cliché way.

‘Do you like it’? He kissed her hair.

‘Yes. Yes’ her heart sank. She had been right, it wasn’t a ring, it was an emerald necklace.

She had dressed in a very revealing gown; the peach creamy dress clung tightly to her slender body, revealing all her curves and all her edges. Her lips were crimson; her eyes were dark and sexy, a canopy of thick long lashes graced her eyes.

‘Are you sure we’re doing the right thing? This could backfire’ Morgan said to her.

‘They will never know the truth’ she smiled at him.

He wore a black tux; his hair was well place; no strand was out of place. His eyes were glowing, filled with desire for her.

‘Why can’t your friend just apologize herself, you said yourself that she really needs this job’ Morgan shrugged.

‘Yes she does. But she wasn’t totally wrong, your friend sent her an obscene note’ Alex replied.

She knew Amanda would be too proud to beg Greg and that is why she had done it on her behalf.

‘Wrong? Greg never sent her a note, maybe there was a mix up, clearly your friend doesn’t know how to read’ Morgan defended his friend.

‘Are you serious? What’s that supposed to mean’? Alex was hurt he would say that about Mandy.

‘Okay, I take that back. I am sorry, but Amanda had not read the note to completion; Greg showed me the note; there was a name beneath it, the note was meant for Trudy and not for her, so there was a mix up that night’ Morgan explained.

‘Really’? Alex felt uncomfortable, how was she going to explain this to Amanda?

‘Yea, but it’s too late to tell her that, I already sent the apology to Greg’s Email, let’s just forget this happened’ Alex replied.

‘I think your friend deserves to know the truth’ Morgan was insistent. He didn’t want the girls to have a bad image about his best friend.

‘Okay, I’ll talk to her, but is that really necessary? I already apologized’ Alex cringed at the thought of what she had done.

She had apologized to Greg and if Amanda ever found out, it would bruise her ego badly; even Greg’s ego would be shattered if he discovered the other email message that she had sent.

‘Baby, I want this relationship to last; I want more for us and we can only get that by staying honest with each other and to the people that we love; we can start that by doing the right thing. It doesn’t matter if Greg has already received the Email message; I wouldn’t tell him a thing about it, but you need to clear his image before your friend’ Morgan said.

‘I will. I promise’ she reached out of his hands across the table.

‘Thanks, now we can enjoy our dinner date’ He winked and then snapped his fingers, a waitress rushed in to take their order.

‘You look so beautiful tonight; if I were a poet, I’ll write you a song; if I were a musician, I’ll play you a tune and if I were a painter, I’ll adore you on my canvas’ Morgan winked.

‘Where did you read that’? Alex chuckled softly.

She loved Morgan for many things; he was understanding, patient and tolerant but she loved him more for his good sense of humor.

‘I can’t tell you’ he joined in the laugh.

‘You look handsome too, prince charming’ she decided to play bold, she leaned forward and planted a kiss on his lips.

‘I love that’ he drew her closer and deepened the kiss. Her lips were soft and plum; they sent desire coursing through his spine. His hands rubbed her back.

They were in a restaurant; but it seemed the whole world had disappeared before their eyes; that moment was theirs; that moment was for this, for love, for kissing.

‘Hmmm’ the waitress cleared her throat as she arrived with their order.

‘Oh’ the lovers pulled apart and realized that all eyes were on them.

‘Thanks’ they mumbled as the waitress dropped the tray.

Once she was gone, they burst out laughing.

‘I am never coming to this restaurant again’ Alex sniggered.

‘Hell we are coming, who cares what people think’? Morgan laughed.

‘I do. See that one over there probably calls us “the pervy two” in her heart’ Alex pointed at an old lady.

Morgan bubbled with laughter; he’d thought the only person that could really make him laugh this hard was his best friend Greg, but he realized Alex’s sense of humor was out of this world. She was cheerful and perfect.
