2021-11-14 21:51:39Amanda and Alan cuddled up with each other in silence, watching the sunset with a smile on their faces; Alan reminiscing on the kiss Amanda gave him a while ago when her voice brought him out of memory lane.
"I grew up in Nigeria; my mother's country" she started, taking him by surprise but instead of commenting he just pulled her closer to his body and she continued talking "It's a nice country, but as always in every country, there is always a bad part of it, and I grew up in the worst part of Nigeria with the worst family ever" a faint smile appeared on her face as she reminisced on the old memories.
"At first, it was good. We were poor but happy, I barely have memories of those days but I knew it was good. But everything started going downhills when my mum started drinking, it started with a few drinks and coming home tipsy to being wasted every night, and soon enough my father joined her" she let out a little laugh after she said that, making Alan place a chaste

"here you go," Alan said, presenting a blanket and some folded clothes to Amanda, they got back a while ago and he brought her to the guest room after 10 minutes of trying to persuade her to sleep in the same room as him, which she vehemently refused to, resulting in them doing a quick cleaning the guest room. "You can change into that, and come downstairs for dinner" he informed her with a smile, which she returned."Thank you, but I think I'm full, can't stomach anything anymore," she said, patting her stomach with her free hand; she ate to her fill during the picnic."Oh, that means you'll be going to bed after taking a shower?" He asked, secretly hoping she will say no. He wants to spend more time with her, he feels their picnic date was just a few minutes when in reality, they spent more than two hours there."I said I'm not hungry, not that I am sleepy. I'll come downstairs when I'm done taking a shower" she said with an eye roll, and Alan heaved a sigh of

The atmosphere in the room was tense and the two individuals in the room could feel it, in as much as they tried to ignore it.Amanda cleared her throat, drawing Alan's attention to her "Most of the designs were sent to you yesterday, and I believe you would have gone through them" she said.He cleared his throat too and forced a smile on his face, "oh yes, I did. That'd partially the reason I'm here".That perked up Amanda's interest, "yeah? You didn't like the designs?" She asked a bit nervous as she personally came up with those designs, she hasn't worked on a piece of Egyptian jewelry before but she decided to give it a try in order to impress him.He chuckled and shook his head, "that's not the issue, I love them and I'm very impressed with them. I came because I want to talk about the quantity that was previously stated, I would like to increase them"She released a deep breath and smiled at him, "Alright, but then you'll have to increase you

Amanda caught a glimpse of her so-called sister as soon as she walked in, she sat in a secluded part of the cafe sipping coffee and looking around. Amanda took a deep breath and walked over to her. Dropping her coffee, Alice smiled at her little sister when she came close enough. She saw her when she drove in and noticed when she walked into the cafe but only decided to acknowledge her presence now, "Glad to see you, again" she said with a warm smile that could have fooled anyone, but Amanda knew better. Without waiting for an invitation, Amanda sat down opposite her and went straight to the point "I'm not glad to see you, so save me the stress and disgust by going straight to the point" Her words made Alice burst into laughter, placing her hand on her mouth as she did; trying to look graceful, but in Amanda's eyes she looked like the devil herself "Ahh, always the funny one" Alice remarked, clearing her throat lightly. That made Amanda scoff and roll

"Did you see that?" Jonathan asked excitedly, nudging Amanda's shoulders and pointing to the TV where Naruto was currently playing.She snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the TV, "yeah I did, that was super cool" she said even tho she has no idea what he was talking about, she hasn't been paying attention to the anime, and not because she didn't want to.The image of Alan walking in with another girl has been stuck in her mind and she can't seem to shake it off, and in as much as she tries to deny it; it broke her heart and it's still breaking her heart as she thinks of it. Sighing, she returned her gaze to the TV and tried to concentrate on it, but she just couldn't."Are you okay?" Jonathan asked all of a sudden and she looked at him in surprise, wondering why he is asking that out of nowhere."Why? Is anything wrong?" She questioned, forcing a fake smile on her face."Nothing really, you've just been sighing for as long as I can remember.

Amanda and Alan were still lost in their passionate moment, ravishing each other's lips when someone cleared their throat. They immediately jumped away from each other and started looking around the kitchen in embarrassment.A sly smile appeared on Adilah's face as she stared at them and crossed her arms on her chest, "Mmm... I never knew food could be prepared that way too" she said teasingly, wiggling her eyebrows at the embarrassed couple."Umm.. the thing is..." Amanda started, trailing off as she looked at Alan for help, but he fixed his gaze on his toes. She glared at him and then turned back to Adilah with a tight-lipped smile, "please hold on, I want to microwave the food" she said with a nervous chuckle and started dishing out the food again but Adilah stopped her."No need for that dear, Liam just texted me that he is back and I'll have to be on my way. I'll make sure to visit again before we travel back" she said with an apologetic smile and Amanda's

Alan smiled tenderly and grabbed her hand, "I was going to ask you this at our date this evening, but it turned out like this. So here goes nothing, Amanda West, will you love to be my girlfriend?" Amanda immediately removed her hands from his as if she was burnt by the question, she cradled her hands to her chest as she stared at him in shock. She wasn't expecting him to ask that question anytime soon, "but..we... Alan..." She stuttered out, trying to form words for the thoughts in her head. "Listen, you don't have to go over all the possibilities or overthink it, okay? Just say what your heart wants, I'll take any answer you give" he reassured her with a smile, and she just bobbed her head in response. She stared at him in silence, before she took a deep breath and blurted out "yes" with a smile. She knew what her answer would be when he asked her the question, but her brain just went into an overdrive at how sudden he asked it. He smiled brightly a

Alice's hands shook as she tried to unlock the door to her apartment, millions of thoughts kept running in and out of her mind as she tried to accept the fact that her brother will be living with her."What's the hold-up, Alice?" Andrew asked, drawing closer to her "need help?" he asked in what was meant to be a seductive voice, but only ended up disgusting Alice."I got this," she said in an audible whisper and pulled the door open, he smiled and spanked her butt as he walked in. Alice glared at his back when he walked in before she took a deep breath and walked in after him, closing the door behind her.Andrew's eyes roamed around the room, and the look of disgust was clear on his face, "Is this where you live?" He asked in a condescending tone, and Alice fisted her hands in anger."This is what I could afford with the money you gave me" she managed to say in the calmest voice she could muster.He looked around the room again and sighed, before p

Amanda stretched out her hands on the bed with a lazy smile on her face, hoping to touch Alan but instead, all she could feel was the coldness of the bed. She ran her hands on the bed again to be sure, and when all she could feel was the coldness of the bed, she snapped her eyes open and sat up on the bed. She looked around the room for any trace of him, but the room just stared back blankly at her, "was last night a dream?" She mumbled to herself, rubbing away the sleepiness from her eyes. "Could it be he's downstairs?" She asked as the morning of the day he brought them back ran through her mind, sighing, she decided to go check for herself and stepped out of the bed. Halfway down the stairs, she began hearing murmurings and clashing of utensils and a smile graced her face, she increased her pace and took the stairs two at a time. "Good morning!" She yelled loudly with a smile etched on her face as she entered the kitchen, a fully dressed Jonathan a

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
