Chapter Six: Past Relationships
March 30
Dear Diary,
So it's been two weeks since the double date. I know I haven't been writing in you lately, but so much has been happening! The next day, Shadow and I went out on another date. It was a cute simple date. Him and I took his adorable dog on a walk around the park, and then we went out for lunch. Luna is just so cute! I think she really likes me because when it was time for me to leave, she kept trying to pull me back!
But after that date, Shadow and I went on several other dates. From the simple ones, to the very fancy and romantic ones. Like for one date, he invited me over to his house to watch some movies. He had his living room set up nicely and he even had snacks laid out. Luna was also there laying down on her bed. We would cuddle and flirt with each other, but we never kissed!The sexual tension is still there, cause we both really wanted to jump each others bones that night. But the more tension, the better.
Rouge and Knuckles have also been seeing each other a lot. I have a feeling that they probably have already jumped each other bones, or something close to it. But I'm so happy for her. I can tell that they both really like each other a lot. Rouge deserves somebody who makes her feel wanted and to make her feel important. Knuckles will definitely be a whole lot better than Scourge or any other of her ex boyfriends.
Blaze and Silver have gotten a whole lot closer. Silver still doesn't know that the blind date Blaze is going on is fake, but that just makes the whole thing more interesting. They both been going out more and going to each other houses. Blaze says when ever its time for one of them to leave, they always give each other kisses on the cheek. Their just so cute! I can't wait for Blaze to surprise him on the fake blind date.
Ever since Shadow and I have gotten closer, I've been thinking about Sonic a lot. Not that I'm having second thoughts about not potentially dating Shadow and going back to him. The only issue is that when Shadow and I eventually become official, how are we going to tell Sonic? He is Shadow's friend after all. It's not like I need permission from Sonic to date Shadow, it'll just be awkward as hell.
Speaking of Sonic, I don't hate him. Sure, he can be a serious asshole and jerk, but once you get past that, he's a funny and loveable guy. Shadow's been telling me that he and Sally are having trouble in paradise. I never understood why Sonic asked Sally to marry him in the first place. Last time I checked, he didn't want to get married. Even though I've moved on from him, he deserves better than Sally. She's nothing but a whiny, stuck up bitch. I don't know how he deals with her.
I'll be sure to keep you updated!
Sincerely,
Amy
At work, Rouge was at the employee lounge enjoying a flirty conversation with Knuckles on the phone. Knuckles work as a football couch at a high school, so he was at the teachers lounge on his break. When ever the conversation got a little provocative, they would speak in Spanish, that why people around them wouldn't know what they were talking about. If they did, it would surely make them blush.
After a while, she got off the phone and walked out of the lounge. As she was walking, she was stopped by the receptionist.
"Hey Rouge, a guy came by here and asked for you to give these flowers to Amy." said the young tiger. She handed Rouge a bouquet of red roses that smelled heavenly. She looked at the tag and noticed that it was from Shadow.
She smiled and turned to the receptionist. "I'll make sure to give these to her right now."
As she walked over to Amy's office, she saw that there was a little note in the flowers. She didn't want to be nosy, so she waited until Amy read it. She walked in to see Blaze there telling Amy about her next outing with Silver.
"I have a delivery for you, Ms. Rose." said Rouge as she handed the pink hedgehog the flowers.
Amy's eyes lit up as she smelled the roses. She read the tag to see who it was from and blushed. "Awww, he's so sweet!" she cooed as she admired the flowers. She took out the note that was inside the flowers and read it.
'It's date night again. We can either go out somewhere, or we can stay in at my place. Which ever you'd like. Call me to tell me your answer, beautiful.'
"Awww it's date night!" Amy exclaimed as she giggled.
"What are you guys gonna do?" asked Blaze.
Amy hummed and played with her phone as she thought over her choices. "He says we can either go out or stay at his place. I think I'll go to his house tonight." She unlocked her phone and scrolled to find Shadow's name.
Rouge smirked as she leaned against the wall. "I wonder what you two will be doing at his house tonight." she said as she giggled.
Amy rolled her eyes as a small blush appeared on her cheeks. "Nothing like that will happen. At least not yet." The girls giggled as Amy smirked to herself. She wondered what tonight will be in store for her and Mr. Tall-Dark-and-Handsome.
When the girls left her office, she dialed Shadow's number and waited for him to pick up. She always felt giddy and excited when ever they would talk on the phone. She looked forward to hearing that deep, smooth, sexy voice of his that always made her weak at the knees.
"Hello beautiful."
She couldn't help but to giggled as her cheeks blushed. "Hi handsome. Thank you so much for the flowers!"
She heard him chuckle through the phone. "Your welcome. So what did you decide for our date tonight?"
"Mhmm," she hummed, "let's have a date night at your place tonight." she said flirtatiously. She didn't intend on ending up in Shadow's bed by the end of the night, but she did want some type of physical action to happen.
"That's fine by me. I look forward to having you here." he responded with a seductive tone. It was obvious that he also wanted something to occur eventually.
"I bet you do." she answered back as she giggled. "Well I'll see you tonight, handsome. Bye."
"Bye beautiful."
Amy sighed with content as she hanged up her phone. She was really happy to be involved with a guy like Shadow. He was respectful, good looking, and easy to talk to. She liked that he could also be seductive and charming.
She went back to her desk and hurried with her paper work. She couldn't wait to go to Shadow's house.
It was around five in the evening. Rouge was at home and was getting ready for her date with Knuckles. The two were going to Italian restaurant at the outdoor mall. It wasn't a fancy restaurant, but it was cute. She wore dark skinny jeans, a light pink v-cut shirt, and white sandals. Her medium length hair was straighten perfectly. She wore a light amount of makeup and pink lip gloss.
Her and Knuckles have gotten closer within the past two weeks. Both mentally and physically. She smirked to herself when she remembered when her and Knuckles had an intense make out session in his car. She would always leave him wanting more.
She was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a the doorbell ring throughout her condo. She grabbed her phone and purse and flew over to the door. She answered the door and saw Knuckles looking hot as ever. He wore a white tank top, khaki pants, and white sneakers.
"Hey gorgeous." the muscular man greeted and kissed her on her soft lips.
She eagerly returned the kiss. "Hey cutie." She locked her door and hugged his muscular arm with tattoos.
The two went down the elevator and walked to Knuckles' car. As he drove to the restaurant, Rouge would grab his free hand and kiss it tenderly. When ever Knuckles was at a red light, he would place a hand on her cheek and kiss her. The two couldn't keep their hands off of each other through out the entire ride.
At the restaurant, the couple took a seat at a booth and already placed their orders. It was pretty packed, so while they waited they talked about each others past relationships and what they would like in a new relationship.
Knuckles explained that a few of his ex girlfriends were really bratty and stuck. He would go above and beyond for them, just to complain that they wanted more of something. It drove him crazy, so he would always be the ones dumping them.
Rouge became tense when Knuckles asked about her past relationship. But it wasn't just Scourge that she would have to tell him about, but it was also a boyfriend that she had before she ever met Scourge. Some body who turned her life upside down.
When Knuckles asked how her last relationship was, he noticed how uncomfortable she looked. He placed a hand on her and held it. "Is everything okay?" he asked.
Rouge deeply sighed as she looked up at him. "Yeah, it's just.." she sighed again, "I have a deep past." Knuckles tilted his head as he eyed Rouge. "I have two guys to tell you about, but please just let me explain about the last one first, okay?"
He nodded his head. "Go ahead."
"Okay...well...the last guy I was technically with wasn't exactly my boyfriend. He was my sugar daddy." Knuckles eyes grew wide as his mouth opened. "Before you say anything," she cut in, "no, I'm not interested in you just for your money and I wasn't with him just to be a whore. I was with him because of an ex boyfriend of mine."
Knuckles didn't say anything as he leaned in more to listen. "I met my last boyfriend about two years ago. We met at the beach and we seemed to hit it off. We were inseparable. Everything seemed perfect. We were in love, he showered me with gifts and all types of cute things. But then..." she took a deep breathe, "after the first year, he changed. He became this possessive, bossy, and abusive person. Every little thing I did was a problem. First it was the yelling, then the threats, and then the hitting."
As Rouge was explaining her past, she got emotional. She held back her tears as Knuckles held onto her hands. "If I came home too late, he would punch me. If I did something he didn't like, he would slap me. There was just...so much violence. He's broken my wrist, sprained my ankle, and broke one of my wings."
Knuckles was stunned. He never knew something like this has ever happened to her. "How did you escape from him?"
The bat smiled a little as she thought back to the day she put her foot down. "The girls knew of my problem. When ever I would run off to any of their house, he would take me away. But one day, it changed. I met up with the girls at our other friends house and her mother, Cream and Vanilla. They both knew what was going on, too. They all knew that my ex would be coming over to look for me. Vanilla was making us breakfast and had a pot of grits on the stove. As she stirred it, my ex was banging on the door. The girls ran up stairs and Vanilla answered the door. He walked in and started to shout at me about how I should be at home and that I never for permission to be there."
As she continued to explain her story, she giggled a bit. "Vanilla cut him off and told us that if we were hungry, there was hot grits on the stove, ready to be served. She eyed at me and smirked. I got the hint and went over to the stove. My ex was yelling at me the entire time and cursing me out. But all that stopped when I threw the burning hot grits on his face."
Knuckles looked shocked. He never heard anything like that before. Then again, he thought that he would do the same exact thing to get somebody away from you. "Then what happened?"
"The girls called the police and I told them everything. He was arrested right after that. So when he was gone, I pretty much had nothing left because he spent all of my money on bullshit. So while I was working on becoming a real estate agent, I became desperate and went on a website to meet sugar daddies. I didn't want to do it, but I hated always asking my friends for money when I knew they had their own bills to pay. So I swallowed the little bit of pride and self respect I had left, and sooner or later, I met my sugar daddy."
Knuckles nodded his head as he listened. He understood why Rouge did what she did. "So how did that go?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "It really helped with my bills. I was able to move out of the crappy house, I moved into my condo, I got myself a brand new Mercedes, and now I have a career. So after dealing with my sugar daddy for a year, I got tired of it. I didn't want to be somebodies booty call anymore. So I dumped him. And then amazingly, that's when I met you."
Knuckles smiled and looked into her eyes. He took her hands into his much larger ones and held them. "I would never, ever put my hands on you or do anything that would make you feel uncomfortable. Your a very beautiful, tough, and amazing women Rouge."
Rouge blushed and smiled. "You really think that?"
"Of course I do." He kissed the back of her hands and looked into her eyes. "Rouge, will you be my girlfriend?"
Rouge giggled and blushed furiously. She nodded her head as her smile grew. "Of course I will."
The two reached over and gave each other a soft kiss. Knuckles smiled and held onto her hand. "Nobody will ever hurt you again."
Silver and Blaze were at the movie theater. They were waiting for the movie to start as they talked. Tomorrow was the day of the fake blind date. The day where Silver, who has come to a conclusion that he has strong feelings for Blaze, where take the feline to the date, where he would be surprised that he is actually the date. Blaze was both excited and nervous. She was excited because she couldn't wait to tell Silver how she felt about him for all these years. But she was nervous because she didn't know how he would react, even though she has a good feeling he feels the same way.
"So do you know anything about this guy you're seeing tomorrow?" asked Silver, secretly wishing he hasn't asked.
Blaze shrugged her shoulders. "Nope. But I hope he's nice and cute and easy to talk to." She quietly giggled whenever Silver would bring up about tomorrow. She knew for a fact that he was jealous and didn't want her going on the date.
"Well if anything bad happens, you call me. Okay?"
"Don't worry Silver, I will." She smiled when Silver nodded and placed his arm on her shoulders. She was positive that tomorrow, Silver would understand the feelings she has for him, and that they could finally be together.
Shadow and Amy were finished with the first movie they watched on Netflix and were now looking for another. The two were cuddled in each others arms and were just talking about how their day was. As they were talking, the subject of past relationships came up. They were both curious to know how it went.
"Hey Rose, how exactly was yours and Sonic's relationship?"
The question defiantly caught her off guard. She been meaning to explain her relationship with Sonic further down the road, but she didn't think it would be tonight. "Well if I could choose one word, it'd be dysfunctional." She shook her head and sighed. "Our relationship didn't start off good to begin with."
"What do you mean?"
She took a deep breathe as she began to explain her and Sonic's past. "We first met back in our senior year of college. As you know, the girls and I were in a sorority, and Sonic and our two other friends, Silver and Tails, were in a fraternity. Their fraternity house was throwing this huge party and the girls and I decided to go. When I met Sonic there, we talked, laughed, flirted, got drunk, then eventually we ended up hooking up that night," she shook her head and rolled her eyes, "that was pretty much the start of complicated relationship."
Shadow frowned. "How was it complicated?"
"One minute, we're together and really happy. Then the next minute, we're apart and I wanted to rip his head off. You would think that having sex with him the night I met him would tell me that he was not that guy for me. But, I was young and really dumb. I thought of myself as the girl that could change him to be a nice guy and we could be happy together," she rolled her eyes, "as if."
Shadow shook his head. He's known Sonic for a while now, and it sounded like something he would do. "How come you dealt with him for so long?" he asked.
Amy shrugged and frowned a bit. "I guess I thought that eventually
he would settle down with me and we could be together. That's why I dumped him last year. I was just tired of waiting and feeling used."
Shadow knew where she was coming from. Having your heart and soul being dragged along and played with was something he was too similar with.
"What about you," Amy asked, "how was your last relationship?"
The ebony hedgehog ran his hand through his quills and sighed. "My last relationship is actually the big reason why I moved down here."
Amy titled her head and looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"
"My ex girlfriend betrayed me." he answered. He glared at the floor as he unwrapped his arms around Amy and placed his chin in his hands.
Amy sensed his intensity and placed a hand on his shoulder. "If you don't want to talk about it, it's okay."
Shadow shook his head and grabbed her hand. "I don't mind explaining." He took a few deep breathes as he prepared himself to explain his last relationship. "My ex girlfriend and I met about three years ago through a co-worker of mine. We talked for a while, and then we eventually dated. I made sure to treat her with much respect and to always show her that I really cared about her."
Amy paid close attention as she listened to Shadow. She thought that who ever this girl was, clearly did something terrible to loose a guy like him.
"After dating for about a year, she moved in with me. And then shortly after that, she found out that she was pregnant." That defiantly caught Amy's attention. Her eyes widen as she leaned in more to listen to the story. "When she told me the news, I was really excited. In my mind, this way something that made our relationship even better. I took her to her appointments, went out and bought of types of baby supplies, and I even had a room for the nursery."
Shadow sighed and leaned back on the couch. Amy rested her head on his shoulder and rubbed his arm. "About five months into the pregnancy, she started to act different. Not the usual mood swings and other pregnant women would get. She would act different towards me and would always be out of the house. So one day, while she was out of the house, I decided to look through her things." He shook his head and sighed once more. "I went through her emails on her laptop, and sure enough, I found plenty of emails that I showed never of seen."
"What were they?" Amy asked with curiosity.
"She's been emailing some other guy. They were talking about seeing each other and how much they missed each other. And when I read one of the messages...it was her telling him that he was the real father of the baby."
Amy gasped. She did not see that coming. "H-How were you certain that you weren't the father?"
"She told me that when we last had sex, the condom must of had a hole. But after reading those emails, I figured out that she's been seeing that guy for a long time."
Amy couldn't believe what she was hearing. How could somebody have a man like shadow, cheat on him, and make him believe that he was the father of the baby. "That's terrible..." she said as she placed a hand over her mouth.
"What made it worse was that I bought an ring, and I planned on asking her to marry me..." He had a deep scowl on his muzzle and cracked his knuckles. "So, I confronted her about it. Of course, she lied and said he was crazy, but I knew what I read. I kicked her out of the house after that. I sold the house, pawned the ring, and then I came over here and crashed at Knuckles' place for a while. After a few months, I got enough money, and that's when you sold me this house."
His deep scowl suddenly disappeared as he turned to look at Amy. He smiled smiled, to which she returned. She grabbed his hand and rubbed it softly. "I hope you know that I would never do something like that to you. You're way too good of man to let go."
Shadow rubbed her cheek softly and looked into her eyes. "And I would never play with you heart or your feelings. You're such an amazing and beautiful person. Any man would be lucky to have you in his life."
As the two hedgehogs looked deep into each others eyes, they leaned in further and further. Just as Amy thought that Shadow would tease her like he did before, his soft lips met hers in a loving, tender kiss. They were both in bliss. Amy wrapped her arms around his neck while Shadow's muscular arms snaked around her waist. After a few more seconds, they both slowly pulled away, even though they didn't want to.
Amy looked deep into his red eyes and smiled as she blushed. "So what does this mean?"
Shadow smirked and leaned his forehead on hers. "It means that your mine, and I'm yours."
She giggled and caressed his cheek with her hand. "Perfect."
For the rest of their time together, the new couple were cuddled on the comfy couch enjoying their time together. Even Luna, who was sleeping upstairs, came and laid next to Amy, and enjoyed her time with them. Amy smiled softly to herself, knowing that she had a great new man in her life.
