PLEADING

-----~[AMELIA]~-----

After trying as much as possible to muster up as much  courage as I can to face my fears, I finally push the door open and step in feeling the scrutinizing gazes of the present occupants of the vast living room I am currently stepping into.

 I smile and shut the door behind me focusing every single of  my attention on the only person my mind is forcing me to look at right now at this moment. 

Lily beams the moment she sees me and she places her hands on her cheeks. "Wow I feel so loved she came to see me." She says and I find myself giggling uncontrollably. 

Damn. I really missed my friend today. I greet both her parents offering me the most welcoming smiles I have ever received as usual. 

But at the same time, my mind is in a total chaos trying as much as possible to put as much distance between me and the object of my current nervousness sitting at a distance with his legs crossed in a majestic bossy away staring at me relentlessly.

 My heart and brain are very chaotic, both at the same time, right now and I feel like if I don't gain hold on my system, I could pass out. 

For Christ sake why the hell can't my body and system just for once be at peace whenever his presence is available around me? Just why? Why must it be so hard? 

Aaaargh.

 "You are welcome Amelia." Lily's mum speaks first. " You must have missed Lily so badly to come see her immediately when the school closed. " She says and I chuckle nervously. 

I cast a glance at Lily and smiled. " Yes of course I really missed her and right now I am planning to offer her a piece of my mind for ditching me and leaving me alone at school without warning. "I say jokingly and Lily laughs. 

" Forgive me my one and only teddy bear. I am so sorry I couldn't come to school today, I caught a flu this morning. It came so suddenly I wasn't expecting it. Please, I hope you are not mad at me. " She says and I pout my lips irresistibly. 

I immediately close the distance between us and sit down right beside her wrapping my arms around her shoulder. 

"It's okay.  I totally get it now. hope it wasn't serious? How are you feeling now? Is your body better? " I ask and she chuckles  with excitement. 

" Okay, enough, take it easy with numerous questions, don't freak out. I am totally fine, okay. Mom and dad handled everything pretty great so right now I am as good as new. You have nothing to worry about. " She says and I smile. I really missed my partner.

 Now this brings about the moments that always as usual makes me change my mind whenever I make a decision just to have a short visit with them. My connection and friendship with Lily always does the magic.

 I make a decision to stay shortly with them and just a little chat with her, I will decide to stay the entire night.

 But right now, some things will have to change. I have to get home early. But how the hell am I going to do that without Lily thinking I am trying to avoid her or something? 

Urghh. This is harder than I thought.

 "So how was school today Amelia?" That deep mesmerizing brain spinning seductive voice suddenly hits my ears with a vibrating force and I feel my system and organs shake tremendously within me. 

Holy crap. Here comes the seductive demon.

 I smile and find myself looking at him and looking back down at my hands on my laps at intervals, nervously trying as much as possible not to make permanent eye contact with him. 

Damn if I mistakenly attempt to do that, I will definitely lose my cool. I mean…. I might go insane right in front of all three of them. 

Those eyes...... Oh god I don't even know. I just know that I can't look at them if not a different Amelia is going to be sitting right in front of them immediately. 

"Uhh.... School was great." I say trying as much as possible to gather my thoughts in the most sensible way and make sure I don't utter rubbish before them. "school as always was fun but I didn't really feel the vibe that great today because of the absence of my baby here. " I say and turn my attention to Lily who is sitting beside me blushing crazily. I chuckle and shake my head. 

Lily's mum is beaming uncontrollably and the honest loving flush on her face is and evidence  that this friendship of ours is really moving some strings in her caring soft heart. 

After a long while she finally stood up. "Anyways thanks for visiting Amelia. You actually came at the right time. We were just about getting ready for dinner. Care to join us? " She asks and I bite my lip. 

This is exactly the  moment I have been trying with every ounce of my power right from the moment I stepped in to avoid it. I don't want to have this dinner with them right now. 

Crap.

 I don't know how I'm going to stand another second or minutes talkless of hours with this...... This..... Urghh. I don't think I can take this. My heart is pounding relentlessly in my chest as I feel the hot gazes of the Mitchell family on me anticipating my response. 

I open my mouth to say something but Lily interrupts instead. "Well it's fine if you don't really want to. After all, it's the day before the weekend so you might have some things to do at home. Right? " she asks and I turn my attention to her but the look on her face totally disarms me. 

I don't know how I'm ever going to refuse this offer with that baby pleading face of hers... Shit.
