Chapter Fourteen
Amber slowly turned around and was faced with Corny standing in front of her. Amber cursed to herself silently. Amber studied Corny's face for a moment. He looked like he didn't sleep at all and his eyes were filled with worry. "No Corny,we can't. Because I would like to use my time here wisely and I would like to reherse for the final show." And with that she turned on her heel and walked away from him. Corny sighed and walked back to his office. Link approached him. "Hey old man! What's going on?" He joked. Corny gave him a look which scared Link a bit. "Woah man you don't look so hot!" Link placed his hand on Corny's shoulder. Corny pushed it off. "Yeah! That's right. This 'old man' isn't feeling so 'hot' Link! You wanna know why? I bet you do because you are into everyone's business! You gossip rat!." By this time everyone who was near Corny could hear what he was saying to Link,including Amber. She could see the tears welling up in his eyes. "I am sick of this life and everyone who's in it! I am sick of everyone who look at me in a different light. I am sick of it all! Got that Link!?" Corny was breathing heavily when he was finished. Link slowly backed away from Corny. He remained standing looking at everyone as the tears fell down his face. And then he caught sight of Amber,staring at him helplessly. Corny slammed his office door. "Excuse me for one second." Amber said to Doreen as she headed to Corny's office.

She knocked silently but when there was no response she knocked harder. He turned the door handle and he didn't expect to see Amber before him. "What do you want?" He asked in a solemn tone. He walked away from the door and Amber walked in and closed the door. Brenda and LouAnn saw this happening. "There is totally something going on between them." LouAnn said with her arms crossed on her chest. Brenda nodded. "Well we might just have to stir up some drama then now won't we?" Brenda said with a smirk on her face. "What are you thinking Brenda?" Brenda didn't say a word. She just smiled. "Corny what the hell just happened out there?" Amber asked standing in front him as he wiped away his tears. "What do you care? You don't give two cents about me. About us." He looked a different way. "Oh please. You are going to start this? Do you not think of anyone besides yourself? Oh god,of course you don't. You only care about one person and one person only. That's yourself. Do you not care about how this is affecting me?" She placed her hands on her hips. He got up in a rage. "Don't you dare put this on yourself! I do think of other people besides myself when I care for them. You know how much you mean to me. We have discussed this over and over for the last little while. I don't even know what to say anymore!" He turned his back to her. She sighed loudly. "Look Corny. I do care for you,very much. I just don't know what to think after what happened last night with Brenda and LouAnn. We could get in a lot of trouble with this. If my mother found out she would kill me and you could get fired. Like don't you think about that?" She rubbed her hands over his arms comforting him. He bowed his head and turned to face her. "Of course I do think about that honey. But when you are so much in love you don't think about that. The only thing I think about is you,and only you." Amber smiled.

"But what are we going to do about LouAnn and Brenda. It's obvious they know. Who knows what they'll do." Amber said biting her nails. Corny grabbed her hand and pulled it away from her mouth. "I don't know Am. Do you want me to talk to them? What do you want me to do?" He caressed her cheek. Amber sighed. "I don't know Corny. I feel like we are walking on very thin ice and one little thing could break this for us. Our happiness." He nodded. "I know sweetie. I guess we could just try going on with our lives being together and whatever obstacle comes our way is no match for us,right?" Amber gave a smile and wrapped her arms around Corny's broad body tightly. He grinned. He loved having her so close to his body. It drove him wild. "You know I love you right?" He whispered kissing her hair while still holding her close to him. "Yes I know that Corny. I love you too. I have never felt like this about someone like I do with you." She looked deep into his eyes. A smile appeared on his face. "We can make this work. Even if I have to do everything in my power I will make sure that you are happy." He nuzzled her nose with his. "I think you scared Link out of his skin when you shouted at him." Amber said. Corny nodded. "I didn't mean to,I guess I just snapped. Man,he's going to hate me now." He ran his hand through his hair. "No he's not going to hate you. Everyone has a breaking point and that was yours. You are human. If he knows you like I know you he knows that you are kind hearted and a very caring person." A smile appeared on his face.

"What have I done to deserve you?" He cupped his hands on Amber's face. "Just being you. That's what made my heart fall in love with you." She leaned in and kissed him tenderly on the lips. He wrapped his arms around her neck and made the kiss stronger. Amber's tongue began to tease Corny's. She could hear him beginning to groan against her lips. His kiss was like a hunger. He needed it. Corny broke away from the kiss to get some air. A smile appeared on Amber's face. "I love you Amber Von Tussel." He said. Amber could feel his breath on her lips. "And I love you Corny Collins." He smiled and wrapped his arms around her tightly. He was so scared to let her go. He just wanted her near for the rest of his life. He never felt so sure of something like this. Amber stared into Corny's eyes. He leaned in and kissed her lips softly and then more forcefully. They were so into the kiss that they didn't hear the door open. Someone had saw them.
