2021-11-01 19:35:43Amanda rushed into her room and immediately opened her closet, leaving all her clothes in full display before her. She put her right fingers into her mouth and started chewing on them as her eyes ransacked her wardrobe; trying to find the right outfit to wear.
"He never said where we will be going or what we will be doing, so what on Earth am I supposed to wear?" She asked no one in particular, her frustration beginning to set in. "It can be lunch at a fancy restaurant," she said and picked out a casual red gown, "it can also be just at a fast food" she muttered, picking out a jumpsuit.
She walked around and picked out a skirt and a top "it can just be a drive". She let out a deep sigh and dropped everything on the table in her room, "I'll just wear whatever, it's not like I'm going on a date or anything" she blurted out and marched off to the bathroom to freshen up.
When she was done, she sat before her vanity and brought out her makeup box, she applied the moi

"We are here" Alan announced as soon as he parked the car, a big grin on his face. Amanda looked around the place in confusion before turning towards Alan, "what are we doing here?" He let out a chuckle and opened his door, stepping out and heading towards her side to open the door for her, she quirked an eyebrow at him as he opened the door, but chose not to say anything. He held her hand as she stepped out of the car, and when she was out he pulled her close to himself and shut the car behind them; a teasing smile on his face at their closeness. "And here I was thinking you were a gentleman," Amanda said as she released herself from his grip. "Oh please, I'm a gentleman" he retorted and winked at her, which she responded to with an eye roll. "Yeah right, you still haven't answered my question tho; what are we doing in a spa?" She asked for the second time and Alan sighed. "What do people do in spas? We are going to get massages, pedi

Alan packed the car carefully in his garage and then tilted his head to look at Amanda properly "I would have taken you to a restaurant, but I guessed a homemade meal will be better" he said, his eyes holding a hint of nervousness. She smiled and bobbed her head "you guessed right, I enjoyed the lasagna you made last time and I wouldn't want to miss the opportunity to eat your meal again" she confessed, a shy smile plastered on her face. The look of nervousness that Alan had a while ago, disappeared with her words and was replaced with a look of pride. "In that case then, what are waiting for? Let's go" he blurted out and jumped out of the car, he was about to go open her door when he noticed she was already out of the car. "Why did you do that?" He questioned with a big scowl on his face. Amanda looked at him with fake surprise on her face, feigning ignorance "do what?" His scowl deepened when she asked the question, "never open your door by

Sitting in her office with a blank expression on her face, Morgan was about to brief Amanda about the lawsuit "I would have sent you an email, but I thought it would be better if we speak directly" she explained and Amanda gave her a quick smile, which she returned with her warm one. "Well, after submitting the case, the court sent out a notice to the website. The court hearing will be in 2 weeks if they do not reach out to us, and that's the best part because last night I got an email from the web manager asking to meet" she said excitedly. The dull look on Amanda's face immediately got replaced with a big smile, "that's good news, when did they propose we meet?" She questioned, eager to get everything settled. "They left that decision to us, so when do you propose we meet them?" Morgan asked. Amanda kept quiet for a while as she tried to come up with the perfect time to meet them, she was finally about to speak when they heard a light knock on the d

"Miss West, how does it feel to know you've finally gotten rid of the scandal, and gotten proper compensation for that?" One of the reporters asked from the clusters of reporters that were scattered around her.The paparazzi gathered around her company, over an hour ago when they got the news that Amanda was meeting up with the web manager of the website that hosted the article about her, they swarmed around her when she came down with Morgan, the web manager, and his legal team; throwing questions. after questions on her.Amanda smiled and proceeded to respond to her question, "I feel great but exhausted, it's been a long and tiring process to get my name, and my company's name cleared. I'm so glad it's all over" she responded with a big smile.She answered a few more of their questions before she managed to escape them with the help of Morgan. she heaved a sigh of relief the moment she was seated on her car seat, happy she got to evade them.Morgan chuc

Alan stepped into his room and smiled at the familiarity, everything looks the same; a bit old but the same. His walls were painted in the same lemon color his parents thought was befitting for a boy, his king-sized bed is positioned in the middle of the room, on the right was his study table and the door to his bathroom, and on the left side of the room was his creaky wardrobe he always complained about; a laugh escaped his lips when he thought of the fond memories. "Ahh, feels good to be home" he sighed and plopped down on the bed, but immediately stood up when the specks of dust got into his face, coughing hysterically. At that very moment, Adilah, opened his door and peeked into the room; a sly smile on her face, "ah, I forgot to tell you, I cleaned the room but I forgot to make the bed, but I can see you already know" she said with a giggle, and before Alan could say anything, she shut the door and ran away. "I'll get you Adilah!" He yelled from his room

Amanda stared blankly at the ceiling, a sleeping Jonathan cuddled to her side. It's been over 30 minutes since she woke up, but she has no urge to report to work or take Jonathan to school, the stress she underwent the past few days and the fact that a certain someone wouldn't leave her mind, is making her more stressed.Sighing, she decided to call in sick for both Jonathan and her, and just when she was about to pick up her phone; it pinged with a notification. She immediately picked it up and opened the message, her eyes widened slowly and she just stared at the message without blinking.She shook her head and blinked twice to make sure she was seeing right, million thoughts ran through her mind as she read the short message that Alan sent to her."Are you awake?" It was a short and harmless question, but after what transpired between them the last time, it felt weird. she wasn't expecting him to text her so soon and, that wasn't the type of text she was

Amanda alongside Jonathan, Malia, and Mark stood at the Airport, looking around and eagerly waiting for Alan.It's been two weeks since he left for Morocco and no day passed by without him sending a text to Amanda or calling her; she declined and ignored him numerous times at first, wishing he would stop but he never did. He persisted and slowly, Amanda started getting used to it; she will text him back immediately and respond the moment he calls, even if she's at work, she will get worried when she thinks he won't text, and sometimes she will call or text first.She will constantly tell herself that she's just being open to the idea of him being her friend but deep down her heart, she knows it's more than friendship and being in the airport waiting for him to come back while hiding under the pretext that she just escorted Jonathan is just one of the many proofs.Earlier in the dayAmanda opened h

"Okay guys, these are the dishes," Alan said, standing upright after placing all the dishes he brought back, on the dining table "these are some of the traditional foods, and few of my faves" he informed, smiling at the food."Woah" they all chorused together, looking at the food with amazement in their eyes. Their noses filled with the delicious aroma, making them a lot more hungry."Can we start eating already?" Jonathan asked without removing his eyes from the food, swallowing heavily and slowly licked his lips; eager to fill his stomach with the heavenly dishes before him."That's not happening, I'm going to freshen up and come down so we can eat together" he exclaimed while walking to the stairs "ah! Amanda, do you want to come with me?" He asked in a serious tone, making Amanda look up from the dishes that she's been devouring with her eyes, a look of confusion plastered on her."Why? Any problem?" She asked innocently, her eyebrows creased in confu

Amanda slowly opened her eyes with a beautiful smile gracing her face, she stretched out her hands to touch Alan but she only felt the warmness of the sheet and a sigh left her lips knowing he just got up. She stood up and stretched lightly as she did, her smile widened even more when she heard him laughing downstairs with their child. She couldn't believe how much the years have passed and how things have changed, little teardrops made way to her face as she remembered how much her life has changed within 5 years. *~ 5 years ago ~**The moment she got to Morgan's law firm, she parked hurriedly and stepped out of the car ready to run to her office but met her standing by the firm's door with a huge file on her hand and beside her stood a worried Alan, who kept darting his eyes around searching for something or rather someone because the moment he set eyes on her, she could see the relief wash through his face.*

Amanda strode into her company with a casual smile on her face, she couldn't remember the last time she was in there, and the shocked look and calculative stares of her employees made her nervous. Her smile never wavered as she confidently walked into her private elevator, the moment the doors closed she took a deep breath to calm her nerves, avoiding people for over a month has clearly done more harm than good. The elevator opened to reveal Oliver standing there in a suit with his tablet and a cup of coffee in his hand, a welcoming smile graced his face the moment he set eyes on Amanda "Welcome back, ma'am" She smiled back at him and nodded, "Thank you, Oliver" she said and took the cup from him, "shall we?" She asked and with a nod from him, they started walking to her office while he briefed her about the things he forgot to add in the email he sent last night. "Thank you for handling this company while I was away, you've done so well." She said gr

Alan sat rigidly on the sofa, his eyes would occasionally dart towards the stairs and each time a sigh would leave his lips when he doesn't see her coming down. He couldn't tell if it was a sigh of relief or nervousness, he doesn't know if he wants her to come down now or wait a little longer and the worst part, he hasn't figured out how to tell her."Calm down Alan, calm down" he muttered to himself and rested his head against the sofa as he continuously took deep breaths, after a while, he managed to relax and calm his fast heartbeat, but before he could fully relax, he heard footsteps approaching and his heartbeat skyrocketed again and he immediately sat up.He gulped nervously as his eyes took in the woman standing before him, she looked stunning even tho she was dressed in a very big oversized hoodie with tights, and her hair was wrapped up in a towel. He dragged his eyes from her legs and with great difficulty rested them on her face that was radiating with a smi

"What the fuck do you both think you are doing here?" Amanda spat out as soon as Andrew and Alice were close enough, she instinctively stood in front of Jonathan to keep them from seeing his coffin."That's not a nice way to welcome your elders!" Andrew said with a stern look on his face and a scoff left Amanda's lips. His features softened a little when he managed to catch a glimpse of Jonathan's coffin despite Amanda's attempt to block his view, but there was no trace of remorse or sadness in his face as he stared at it "I'm here to pay my last respects to my brother" he stated, turning back to Amanda and staring into her eyes.Amanda stared at him in confusion for a while before a low chuckle escaped her lips, "you!" She shouted, shoving her index fingers into his chest "you! You want to pay your last respect to him?" She pointed her fingers back at Jonathan's coffin, her face contorted in pain and anger "the same boy you killed?!" She

COUPLE WEEKS LATERAlan's eyes rested on Amanda as the mass for Jonathan was being carried out, her face was devoid of any emotion but if you look close enough, you could see her clenching and unclenching her fists, she would occasionally blink away the tears or bite her lips to hold back a sob.A deep sigh left Alan's lips and he moved away from where he was standing and went over to her, he softly grasped her hand in his without saying anything. She immediately looked up at him, surprised by the grand gesture because they barely had a proper conversation in the past two weeks.He could tell what the look on her face implied but he discarded it and mouthed "it's going to be okay", tears welled up in her eyes as he said that, but she nodded and tightened her grip on him before turning back to face the coffin and the priest leading the mass.A surge of gratitude washed through Amanda even tho she didn't say it out loud, she spent all week wondering how she

Amanda submerged herself fully inside the bath, hoping she will suffocate but seconds turned into minutes and she immediately pulled her head out of the water.She started coughing hysterically and hitting her chest repeatedly, her coughs suddenly turned into cries and she began mumbling apologies "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.. I'm so so sorry" she kept mumbling as tears streamed down her face.Disgust crawled up her skin at the thoughts she had, her skin suddenly felt too tight and she wanted to claw it out. She couldn't believe she wanted to end the life that her brother, her brother that hasn't even lived a quarter of his life sacrificed for her to have, she let herself cry for a few more minutes and continuously mumbled apologies before she slowly wiped them away."I promise to avenge your death with the last drop of my blood, Jonathan" she mumbled with bitterness dripping in her voice, her pain was now replaced with anger, resentment, bitterness, and need

Amanda laid on the bed, surrounded by darkness courtesy of the curtains that haven't been opened in a week, she was trying to force herself back to sleep like she has been doing the past week when a loud knock came on the door. She groaned and covered herself with the duvet to block the noise out till it stops, it always does, in 5 to 10 minutes it will eventually stop and she will be left alone again.She laid in that position unmoving waiting for the sounds of loud knocking to be drowned out by the silence she has grown comfortable with, but the time went from 5 minutes to 10 to 20, yet the knocks didn't stop coming. This made her slowly sit up in the bed, "please leave me alone" she muttered weekly, praying the knocks will stop coming and the memories pushing at the gates of her mind will disappear, but none happened.Sighing, she laid her head against the headboard and pushed Jonathan's plushie closer to her chest, and squeezed her eyes shut as she tried to dro

"He's getting discharged today. Congratulations on recovering fully, Mr. Weasley" the doctor said with a smile on his face, but Alan just stared blankly at him. The smile on the doctor's face just doesn't make any sense to him, why is he so happy? Why is he being congratulated? Should he be happy that his body is whole but his memories aren't? Is he even allowed to be happy when the boy he came in here with, is dead?. He let out a breath and clutched his chest in pain as he remembered the broken look on Amanda's face as she watched her brother's corpse get wheeled away. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes, and he immediately squeezed them shut. "Alan..." Adilah called out shakily as she took slow steps towards him, "it isn't your fault, I swear" she repeated the words she has been saying for over a week now. Her eyes glazed over him, filled with pity and sadness, she couldn't bear to see her brother beating himself up for something he didn't do. Si
