Chapter 2- Moving on Maybe?
Relationship background: Manny, and Craig were togeher for two years after high school, and in about her junior year she became pregnant, but had a miscarriage in her third trimester. Manny then broke up with him after the two years thinking it was time to move on with her life, and do something for herself. Craig never got over it until about five more years later when he finally had a solid relationship realizing the end of them was not the end of the world. So this story is around 7 years after high school.
Hurrying to Jessie's house Manny picked up her daughter,and was finally relieved to go home.
"I can't wait to put you to sleep little one so I can take a bubblebath."
Pulling into the driveway she saw John siting on the front porch with flowers, and wine in his hands.
Getting out of the car she opened the backseat smiling as she looked at him.
"Well if it isn't me two favorite girls." Kissing Manny on the lips he handed her the flowers,and wine picking up the carseat.
"How did I get so lucky with you?"
"God knew you needed an angel." He said batting his eyelashes.
"You loveable dork." She said kissing him in return.
Opening the door she placed the items on the kitchen table.
"Just let me give Hayden her bottle, and put her to bed then we can be alone."
"No, how about you go to the bathroom, and take a relaxing bubblebath. I can take care of Hayden, she is after all my daughter as well."
"Thank you sweetheart."
Relaxing in the tub she let the stress of what happened to day melt away under the water. Thinking to herself she was to concerned over what would happen if she saw him again tomorrow.
She had the fear that her feelings would come back to haunt her when she had already moved on.
Getting out of tub she wrapped her favorite robe around her, and walked down the hall to find John asleep on the floor next to Hayden's crib.
"Poor thing working so hard for all of us."
She woke him, and led him to their bedroom falling asleep shortly after getting under the blankets. She held him knowing she was in the right place in her life for the first time, and for once she went to bed with a happy heart.
The next day
Craig hurried up to get dressed, and glanced around his mess of an apartment wondering how he got through the night.
"I thought about her all night, just like I have ever since high school."
He rushed breakfest down in thew form of cereal, and paused when his phone rang.
Oh hello James, yes I am on my way out the door now sir."
Placing the dishes in the sink he thought, "I will do it tonight when I get home." Knowing he would end up putting it off.
"I really need my own maid." Locking the door he out on his jacket with the keys still in the door.
He flagged down a taxi he pulled up to the office ten minutes later.
"Hello Amber, did I get any messages."
"No sir,...oh wait yes your old friend left a time for you to meet up. Here is the address."
"Was there a name?"
"Not to my knowledge sir."
"Alright thank you Amber."
"Tell James I'll be in my office looking at the film okay."
"Sure thing." She said smiling at him, and them blushing.
Craig thought back to only a few weeks ago when he, and Amber got set up on a date. Thinking back he realized that he had more fun with her then he did on any of his other dates he of recently. He finally opened his mind to the idea of moving on from Manny after seven years of wondering what if...
Turning around he looked Amber in the eye.
"Amber do you want to go out tonight after work just you, and me?"
"Sure I'd be honored. I'll meet you back in your office around nine when everyone else is gone."
Later on that night Craig sat in his office looking forward to the night ahead. Amber then walked in wearing a new dress with light pink floral print, and a black backdrop it hugging her figure gracefully.
"I always bring a spare change of clothes because I usually recieve a call fromone of my girls saying they want to go out."
"It's always good to come prepared. You ready to go?"
"You know I want to get the hell out of this place for the weekend."
"Me to darling." He then placed his hand over his mouth as if sorry for what he said.
Amber then walked over to him pulling his hand down.
"Don't be ashamed I love how it sounded."
She said kissing him for only the second time since their last date.
Craig grabbed her pulling her close moaning as she took off his pants.
"Someone's eager."
"You don't know how long I have wanted you Craig. This is he best moment I have had in a long time."
"Me too Amber, me too."
He said as she got undressed in front of him seeing the excitment in his face.
"Oh my gosh your beautiful." Pulling her close he inserted it inside of her knowing it was what he wanted since the first time he layed eyes on her beauty.
