Ice and Fire
Chapter 9
AMY POV
"I can't stop smiling," I said and she was almost resembling a tomato. "That's not fair. You keep making me blush!" She yelled in a jokingly tone. "Well that's my job isn't it? To make you blush," I said winking at her. There was a couple of seconds of silence. "What do you want to do?" She asked trying to change the subject. "We can watch some Netflix or something." Her eyes grew bigger as I said this. "It's like you read my mind!" She squealed getting up. "Let's go to the living room. It's only six in the afternoon, I'm sure we can watch a couple of episodes of something we both like." I get up and lead the way.
"Not to be rude or anything but where's your tv? Do you own one?" I laughed a little. "I don't own one," she looked at me a bit confused. "My eyes sometimes hurt when I stare at a tv too long and since I watch a lot of tv, I decided to buy projector and use it as a tv. I also have one in my room when I'm using my computer." "Well, don't you spoil yourself," she said and then, all of the sudden I hear her stomach rumble. I laughed a little. "God, where are my manners. Do you want something to eat or drink? Do you want to order take-out?" "Well that was embarrassing and please let's order some take out," she said and I laughed a little. I pull out my phone to order. "Okay they will be here in about forty-five minutes. In the meantime, so you don't die, I'll bring out some popcorn. Go ahead and chose what you want to watch." I get up and head to the kitchen. I popped the corn and put it in a bowl. I bring it out with two beers in hand as well.
I go to the living room to catch karma just flipping through Netflix and settling on house hunters. "No way!" I said way too cheery. I compose myself a little. She turned giving me a questioning look. I smiled shyly, "house hunters is one of my favorite shows," I said a little embarrassed. She smiled a toothy smiled, "We have more things in common then I thought we would," she said with one of her famous winks that make my face feel warm.
She patted the couch, silently telling me to sit next to her. So I did. As I sat down, I offered her a beer. She happily took it. "Amy, can I ask you som…" We were interrupted by the doorbell. "Hold that thought. Let me get the door," I said getting up. "No, let me get it. You can sit," she said getting up as well. "No, it's okay. You're the guest," I said walking towards the door. I can hear her running. Right when I'm about to reach for the door handle, she grabs my wrist and turns me around. She pushed me against the door with her hands on my hips. "I said, I got it," she said in a whisper close to my lips. My knees grew weak. She gets on her tippy toes and gently presses her lips on me and we both pulled away with a smile. "Fine," I said and moved to the side. She patted her invincible wrinkles on her dress shirt and skirt and did a quick ruffle of her hair with her hands. I was just staring in awe from the side. When she opened the door, her smile went to a frown. I walked up and looked out. It was Jessica.
"Hey, Amy, I think I should go," karma said starting to walk back into the living room trying to get her things. "No Karma, please stay," I whispered in her ear as I pulled her to my side so she wouldn't leave. "Are you sure?" "Positive," i said kissing her lightly. I forgot Jessica was staring at us. Karma broke the kiss. "I'll wait for you in the living room."
As Karma walked away I turned to look at Jessica. I could see Jessica staring at her. I stepped out and closed the door. "What do you want?" " I told you, I needed to talk to you. Please hear me out," she pleaded. How do I tell her without hurting her that this can't work. I will just have to peel it off like a band-aid.
"Listen Jessica, I can't go back to how things were. You have hurt me in more ways than one. I can't do this anymore. Ever," I said pointing between us, " please just go and leave me alone." She was crying now. "But Amy, I love you. I love you more then anything. Just give me another chance. Please.." "I'm sorry. Goodbye Jessica," I whispered to her and she looked up at me. "I will always be here whenever you want to come back," and with that, she walked off to her car. As she walked away, I saw the delivery kid pull up. I got the food and went back inside. As I walked in I saw karma sitting on the couch mindlessly eating, throwing popcorn in her mouth and watching the show intently.
"I got food!" I screamed and her eyes widen. She got up and ran towards me grabbing the bags. "You have no idea how hungry I am!" "Well I like a girl that can eat," I said winking at her. "You won't be saying that after you've seen me eat," she said, not breaking her concentration on opening the bags. "I'll grab some plates for us," I spoke up but I don't think she heard me. I walked back in with plates in hand. "Here you go," "thanks." We silently serve ourselves. "God, Amy! This is so good! I was starving. I thought I was going to die," she moaned out. If food gets her like this, imagine…no! Amy, don't think like that!
"So what's up with Jessica?" She asked and I put my plate on the coffee table. I sigh. "It's complicated but there's nothing you need to worry about. She's in my past and hopefully doesn't bother me again." She shrugged and I could tell she knew I didn't want to talk about it. She quickly changed the subject and we ended up laughing for most of the night. We drank a couple of more beers and she went in for seconds which made me want seconds as well.
KARMA POV
We finish eating and now it's pretty late. We head upstairs to Amy's room. "So my house is kind of cold. I keep the temperature lower in my room because I like burying myself in a lot of blankets so I suggest you wear a hoodie if you don't like the cold," she said tossing me a hoodie. "I have so much to learn from you cause that sounds like a cozy idea!" I slipped out of my shirt and skirt. I feel eyes on me. "Amy you're staring," I said as I try to reverse the hoodie. "What can I say? You're gorgeous." I turn to look at her and her arms are crossed with just her bra and sweats giving my a small smirk. She's walking up to me slowly. My heart is beating faster and faster. She grabs my hand and pulls me towards her. She wraps her arms around my waist. I have my hands on her forearms. My mouth is slightly opened. I'm in a daze. I can feel her touch traveling everywhere. We are inches apart. She finally leans down to connect our lips. As they touch mine, I feel like I come alive. All of the sudden I'm snapped back into reality. I soon kissed her back and it was getting hot and heavy. I wrapped my arms around her neck and lost my fingers in her hair. I feel her hands travel down to my thighs and without my knowledge, I'm up in the air. I wrapped my legs around her out of pure instinct. We both smile as we kiss but never break it. We make our way to her bed and she lays me down gently and presses herself on top of me. I swear, I'm in heaven. Skin to skin contact is the best feeling. We both come up for air and stare at each other. "As much as I want to do this," she said pointing between us, "I want to be..sort of official before we go any further. Is that okay?" God she's so cute. I'm still smiling up at her and nod. "I don't think I would of gone through with it, I got to be up in a few hours anyway," I said teasing her while turning around and she got off of me and cuddled behind me. "Shut up!" She said "that reminds me, I have to be at work early!" She puts her alarm and lays back down. "We have a date tomorrow so let's get some rest," I said grabbing her hand and intertwining them. She does a small laugh behind me, "You're going to love it," she whispered in my ear, "Goodnight beautiful."
AMY POV
We both wake up in agony to the sound of my alarm. It's five in the morning. "I should be pissed that I'm awake this early but waking up in your arms is probably the best feeling ever," Karma whispered and turning around in my arms to look at me. "I don't want to get up!" I groan. She laughed a little. "Come on, lazy. I don't want you to be late." "Fine." I get up and run to the bathroom. I need to move quickly so I won't be late. All of the sudden, I realized something. Karma is in my bed and I didn't tell her good morning. I run out the bathroom and jump on the bed half naked.
"Amy!" I hear her scream out. "What are you doing?! You're going to be late," she said to me. "I'm sorry, I just forgot something." "What is it?" "This," and I leaned down and kissed her. "Good morning, beautiful," I whispered against her lips. "You're so amazingly dorky and goofy," She joked. I clutch at my chest pretending I'm hurt, "well, you better expect a lot of dorkiness out of this one," I said pointing at myself. I quickly tried to get back up but she pulled me down by my wrist giving my a long passionate kiss. "Good morning to you too," she whispered against my lips. "As much fun as I'm having kissing you, I really gotta shower and get out of here," I said getting up and walking to the bathroom. "Yeah yeah," is all I heard her say as I closed the bathroom door.
Once I finished my shower, I came back into an empty room. Well, not completely empty. There was a note on the night stand it read:
Dear Amy,
I realized that I have no clothes for work here. Let me know at what time you're picking me up tonight xoxo
Sincerely,
Karma A.
P.S text me pretty lady!
I put the letter down and take my phone in my hand and text her.
Amy- I hope you take some comfy clothes to your work so you can change. If you don't mind, I'd like to pick you up at work.
I don't even wait a minute and I have a reply.
Karma-sounds good. I get out at two today.
Amy-I'll see you then.
This is going to be the best date ever.
