2024-10-29 19:42:56She sighed as Jessie past her; ever since the bachelorette party; Amber hadn't felt the need to talk to her sister because of so much questions she feared Jessie had answers to and Jessie had ignored her anyway, because even she didn't have anything to say to her.
She sighed; she wasn't used to remaining furious with someone she lived with, she walked to Jessie's room, just before she could put off the light.
Jessie saw her at the door. 'Did you need something, Amber?'
She started to say no but she knew she couldn't stay angry with Jessie for no reason especially for a man she was trying so hard to forget he exists.
'Have you seen Nicholas?'
She sighed tiredly like she didn't have time for such interrogations but she answered anyway. The look in Amber's eye, told her, she couldn't hide everything forever..... eventually she would come to know everything.
'Yes. I'm sorry, I didn't tell you earlier. I met him before you did at the airport.' She had lied. She liked Nicholas but she couldn't tell her sister that, Amber had decided to get the divorce papers and make him sign it because she didn't love him anymore and besides it's her chance to rekindle past relationship with Nicholas.
Amber just nod; if she was angry; she didn't show it.
One last question, before she turned to leave. 'Do you still like Nicholas?'
'I never stopped.' Jessie said simply.
Amber nod her head again and walked out; Jessie wanted to call her back but she didn't instead she put off the light; they were getting a divorce, why did Amber care so much?
Amber sighed as she laid down close to Skype. She didn't cry.
That was why she never saw Jessie bring any guy home because she had always been in love with Nicholas, Jessie felt there was still a part in Nicholas that loved her back and that was why she kissed him; hoping to get a response and Nicholas gave her as much response as he could muster; he never did love her, just a ploy to get closer to the funny and beautiful twin that was why he married her in he first place. Who knows how much has happened between them, has Nicholas slept with her too?
She sighed; that was when tears fell, silently for falling in love like a stupid idiot with the one person she shouldn't.

She walked to the kitchen; once she had dropped the things she brought on the counter, she went back to on her answering machine and played for any messages in her absence.'Hello, this is Amber Page, I am busy right now, leave a message.'

'Go sit in the living room, we will serve the food.'He took a bite from the Apple he picked deliberately avoiding the look Amber gave him. He looked directly at his mother-in-law.

She turned on her computer.'Ma'am, I have been tried to get appointment but the Secretary says her manager is not available right now but I will check again.'Amber looked at the lady; sometimes she could be unreliable and most times she was a dedicated secretary. She looked at Lucy; she had called Lucy on Saturday to tell her to confirm the appointment with the transportation company and she must have put aside everything else to do the task; even though she didn't get the appointment.'How was your weekend, Lucy?'Lucy stared at her for a second, not totally understanding the reason for the question. 'It was fine ma.'There were good days and bad days; bad days; her boss didn't give her any sympathy or show any concern but the good days.......... This was one of the good days; a

But she didn't fail to notice the way a woman looked at her when she walked passed.She couldn't stop herself. 'Is there a particular dress code for place like this?She wasn't looking bad. She didn't change from her office clothes, so what?He smiled as he moved close to her; he was glad she didn't argue with him over the phone or turn him down, maybe she was excited as he was.'You are fine.

She greeted.This wasn't really a good morning, look at this place and at 8, when the woman was supposed to resume at 7.'What is the meaning of this, Lucy?'She looked at her boss; confused and then Amber pointed to the hall way, she looked at it and looked away.If Cassie had been here before her, she would have begun shouting.'Sorry, ma.'
