Chapter 4

"Maybe it's best we don't tell Amber about this." Corny told Velma as they were getting dressed. She didn't want to tell him that Amber was already suspicious. She was afraid that it will be over before it really began. "I wasn't planning on telling her, anyway." She said and slipped on her high heels.

"It doesn't matter anyway. It was just a one time thing." He told her for the millionth time, but she knew it wasn't over. As a matter of fact, it was really just beginning. He was like all other men, putty in her hands. It won't be long before Corny was wrapped around her little finger. "Don't you want to be with someone special?" she asked him. "Of course I do and no offense Velma but you aren't that person." Now, that they had done it he was starting to realize what a big mistake it was. She wasn't going to leave him alone. She thought he wanted to be with her now, but he didn't. She was just a one time thing.

Velma looked down for a moment after he said that but quickly regained her composure. "It's okay. I mean I can't make you love me after all," she said in a fake sweet voice. "Good, I'm glad you understand." He said slowly. He knew she didn't mean that. He had known her long enough to know when she was faking, and now was definitely one of those many times.

"I have to get home and explain things to Amber. Can I call you later?" she said flirtatiously. "It's not a good idea, Velma." He reminded her again. "Right, how about a kiss good bye then?" She said and throwing herself into his arms. Figuring it was no big deal since after this it was going to be over anyway, he kissed her quickly on the lips but she pulled him into a more passionate kiss. She finally pulled back and said "I'll see you later" She walked out the door and he looked after her. He had the urge to tell her that he changed his mind and he wanted to be with her but he fought it down. He knew it wasn't a good idea and he was going to have to resist her somehow.

"Mom, where were you?" Amber whined when Velma walked in the door. "I had some things to take care of at the station," Velma said smiling about how true that statement really was.

"You were with him weren't you?" Amber accused

"What are you talking about Amber?" she asked

"You know exactly what I'm talking about!" Amber said with a scowl on her face. "Okay I'm going to tell you the truth Amber. You are the only person I'm always completely honest with. Corny and I kind of have something going on." She was glad she was finally being completely honest with her daughter. Amber was livid though. Her face had turned red and Velma saw her eyes starting to well up with angry tears. "I was hoping you would be mature about this, Amber. You know that Corny is a great guy and he will be good for me. You have to be able to accept this. It will make things a lot easier"

"It won't be easier for me!" Amber cried. She was so pissed because her mom was trying to make her accept her relationship with Corny but that wasn't going to happen, not in a million years! She wasn't an idiot. She knew her mom and Corny were very intimate today. Her mom's hair was a bit messed up and she was actually glowing. And was that a hickey on her neck? How gross! She didn't know old people gave each other hickeys! "Amber you need to calm down." Velma said sternly

"Don't tell me what to do!" she screamed and marched up to her room and slammed the door. She was going to have to put her plan in action sooner then she thought. She went to the studio earlier then usual the next day. She knew her mom was in a meeting with Mr. Spritzer and some other people like she always was on Fridays, so she won't be back for a while.

Meanwhile, Corny was sitting in his dressing room trying to go over what music to play on the show but he couldn't concentrate. He couldn't get Velma out of his head and after what they did it was even harder. He was sitting in the very room that they did it in. She was very pretty and he was sure he could get her to change her cold and selfish ways eventually. He knew that if she really liked him she would be willing to change for him. He was sure that underneath it all Velma was a nice person. No one was completely mean and selfish after all.

He heard a knock on the door. It was Velma! It had to be her, who else would it be this early? He ran his hands through his hair and stood up to check his tie. "Come in," he said and smiled. His face fell when he saw Amber standing there instead. "Expecting someone else?" she asked. "Um no" he said hesitantly.

"You don't have to lie to me. I know you were expecting my mom. She told me everything."

"She did?" He was surprised about that. Didn't they agree not to tell Amber anything? Why did she do it anyway? "Don't be too surprised. My mom tells me about all of her men," she said.

"Men?" he asked. He knew Velma had a reputation in the past but was it possible that she was still sleeping around? If she was then it was a complete turn off. He could probably get pass all of her other flaws but this was something completely different.

"Oh sure! Mom brings different men over every week." Amber said like it was no big deal. She tried to look sincere. She knew she was a great actress. Her mom didn't sleep around or at least not that she knew of but she knew this was just the kind of thing that would turn Corny off. "She told me all about how she seduced you. She's really good at it but you already know that, huh?" she added and then winked at him. "Oh and I also know she slept with Seaweed."

"Seaweed? Maybelle's son Seaweed?" He asked completely stunned. Amber nodded and continued "There's only one guy in Baltimore named Seaweed, Corny. And that's why Maybelle hate's her so much. She caught them together. She also came on to Link. I'm not sure if they slept together but I'm sure something happened between them. That's why I let Tracy have him."

"You know Amber, your mom and I aren't really dating." He said sadly. Velma was a lot worse then he thought! He couldn't believe he was actually starting to reconsider his feelings for her!

"Good because I don't want you to get so wrapped up into something that's not going to happen. She just uses men. She's not really interested in a relationship with them but since you aren't really dating then I guess it's no big deal" she said full of fake sincerity. "Thanks for telling me Amber," he didn't care for her but he was glad she came to him with the truth.

"You can do so much better. You know maybe someone younger and not as experienced. You know what I mean." She said winking at him and grabbing his hand. Corny was stunned what in the hell was she doing?
