Amanda
"Dale, I really have to go to my parents. It should've been yesterday and my mom had call me again. In their own way, I think they're worried about me."
Dale was reluctant in letting me go to my parents, he was not sure that I'd be coming back to stay with him.
"I'll comeback this evening, or latest by tomorrow morning. My brother had just arrive from abroad and mom would like us to have a nice family dinner..."
"If you insist, then I'm picking you up tonight." He was not going to let this one go, he could be very stubborn. So I gave in and agree with him.
Amanda"Amanda, are you sure you're okay?" He finally asked when we rest in the bedroom. Mable had already fallen asleep when we got home, turns out Tom was a great sitter.He had asked me in the car, when I was quiet all through the drive. But I was saying some lame excuse about my parents. I didn't want it to be true, I didn't want him to say the words. I love him too much too lose him."Make love to me Dale? Please, just love me..."Tomorrow I will ask him. Tomorrow I will rip out the bandage.Hopefully tonight won't be the last.
DaleMable was excited for school today, since Amanda was coming with us and walking her to the class. She insist on walking with just Amanda, telling me to wait in the car. I relent and give the little princess a peck in the cheek, telling her to have a good time at school.I was watching them walked hand in hand from the car. My eyes were warm as tears were formed, making me blink couple of times and put my palm on my mouth and took a deep breath.If you could only see this Ava, thank you for giving me Mable. She's happy now
AmandaThat morning he was pushing me with the ring issue again. I told him that we would discuss it again tonight."I need to talk to Troy's sister, I'm meeting Aiden at my parents regarding Troy's will. I'm signing a waiver, she had always been a sweet kid. And I...I need to know that she would be fine, and me arriving wearing another man's ring might be a bit too much." I was sitting on his lap while sipping on our second cup of coffee, after we arrived back from dropping off Mable at school."Okay, so I guess you don't want me to accompany you then?" He was kissing my cheek, while wrapping his arm around my waist."I'll go with Aiden, and Aaron said he would come if I needed him there. But I don't want to in
Dale"You were right, right now I'd like to summon Troy back to life just to beat him to death." She said angrily as we reached the car.She introduced me to Troy's sister, her arm was in a cast. But what I found out later was making me agree with Amanda, his death was way too fucking easy."He was even sexually abusing her Dale! Since their parents passed away, since he became her guardian. How could a person do such horrible things.""Hey...baby, look at me...he's gone now. She's getting help, she has you, I'll help in anyway I can. She will be just fine." I said caressing her knuckles as I continue to drive back home. She relaxed back to her seat, but keep her hold on my hand for a little while longer.
Amanda"I'm so freaking nervous, goddamn it Angelica! Why am I so freaking nervous. I've done this before, and this is the town hall. Should've been much easier right? Right Amber? Damn it! Where is Emilie?! I need all my girls in here.""You mean you need your drink? Your liquid courage? Pay attention to this Angelica, this is what happen to all of us. And this will happen to you too when that stubborn man of yours decide to marry you." Emilie said as she enter the so called bridal changing room.While in actual, it was just an empty meeting room that they let us borrow for the wedding. They didn't provide bridal room, it was the town hall. It was just because I looked like a crazed bridezilla, then the nice lady at the front entrance let me use the room to calm mysel
Four years laterAmanda"I'm telling you Dale, it's just a stomach flu. I'm going to be..." I didn't get the chance to finish my sentence, as I bolted for the bathroom door seconds later."You need to stop working so hard on your paintings. Just take the test, for me?" he said as he holds my hair up, and let me empty out all of my stomach content.I washed my face and rinsed my mouth, then I take two pregnancy test kits from his hand."I only need one Dale." I pouted at him."Just incase, we don't need to go to a doctor for a false positive." He cupped my face and kissed my temple.
AmandaThe heat was unbearable, I could feel myself sweating heavily until I open my eyes and saw the fire. I was alert immediately and start my trail of curses, I hurriedly grab my phone then put on my robe and slip on my house slippers then ran as fast as I could out side the house. But I halted my step when I saw the words painted on the wall, my hands were shaking when I open my phone and snapped the writings just seconds before the fire catches it and burn it away. Can't be...I thought he was still in jail...at least for another year...My heart was beating faster, I couldn't move my legs I was frozen in front of the wall, until I heard the sirens pulling me back to reality and realized that I have been inhaling the smoke, my eyes were teary but I finally managed to move my feet and find my way out of the house through the front door. The firemen quickly got me to their truck, then one of them was taking my vitals. "Mam, are you alone in the house? Do you have any pets?" the oth
Dale"Angelica are you sure? I'm sorry but she's been nagging me about having a girls sleep over with you. I know that you've been busy with work and your Ivan thing..." I said to her apologetically.Mable had been having her fit since couple of days ago, she was telling me that she wanted to go and spend the night at Angelica. This was one of the things that always breaks my heart, I'd try to give her everything that she needs. But like Angelica said she also needs a woman in her life. And that was the only thing that had been bothering me, the only thing that I couldn't give her."Dale, I love that princess wanna be of yours. Don't say such thing, and my Ivan thing is doing good he's been asking me to move in with him, thank you for asking by the way...how about you drop her off at my place tomorrow I'm having Amanda over, we could have a girls night thing." She said as she winked at me.

Dale"I had a really good time today...thank you..." she said resting beside me. We had just tucked in Mable after a whole day of mischief from both of them.I let them had their fun, but now that the little princess had gone to sleep. It was time for payback. She had caught up on her sleep time by taking a nap with Mable, while I was finishing up on my paperwork downstairs."Well, the day isn't over yet." I rolled her over to her back.Both of them were too wrapped up in their little stunts, that they didn't realize that they were making me annoyed.The walking without waiting for me, the ice cream lunch, the little whispers about our adventure jar, oh...and obvious
DaleI let her relax in the bath while I tidy up her stuff. I called Tom to help out and took her stuff back to the loft of my apartment. I wasn't sure about her finished paintings, so I decided to leave those at Angelica's. I already ordered more canvases to be delivered to the coffee shop by today. There would be no more excuses, she would be staying at mine."Hey sexy, come... the water is already cold. Why don't you rinse and I'll make your coffee and reheat your breakfast?" I kissed the top of her head as she smile at me."Can we skip breakfast I'm so tired, will you lay with me? Just for awhile, then you can pick up Mable from school." She said walking out of the shower, standing naked, and dripping wet in front of me.
