SONIC
The first thing she does is kiss me.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and kisses me. For a long amount of time.
"Fuck."
I kiss her back and hug her too.
Once she released it and she hugged my tightly and I keep my eyes far away from my assistant who was watching from my desk.
"Baby! I brought you lunch! I thought it would be nice if we could have some together!" Sally shows me the bag and I had no appetite for anything right now.
My lips trembled from her unexpected visit and I take it from her.
"Thanks babe. I didn't know you were coming!"
"That's the point! Being spontaneous makes others happy sometimes." She says and rubs my cheek.
"I'll be at my desk." Cream says fast. Closing the door and leaving me in here with this thick air.
I was sweating bullets under my suit.
And I felt burning eyes going into my back as Ms. Rose stood behind me.
"I missed you so much." Sally kisses my neck.
"Sally, wait."
"Wait for what? You always have me waiting and I hate waiting for you to get home." She grabs my belt and my breath hitches.
I listen to Ms. Rose clear her throat and I didn't bother looking at her but Sally did.
"Oh! Chaos! You scared me!" Sally jumped on me and then she moved away from me and approaches Ms. Rose. "Sorry, for seeing all of that! I didn't know you were here."
"Likewise." Amy says shortly.
Her voice was short and snappy. Confusing Sally and then I wanted to talk but… the look in Amy's eye as she started at Sally wasn't a good one.
"Sorry… did I interrupt something important?"
"Yes. He is in the middle of a meeting… Sometimes you can't just barge in here. He is busy with other things."
Sally was taken back by that. And I was too.
"Do I say something?.. would it back fire if I were to say something. Part of me is saying stick up for my wife but the other side is saying don't- "
"Well. I am far more important than anything in this office and building so I am sure I can barge whenever I want." She says and Ms. Rose smiles softly.
"You are right… you are his wife after all." Amy says.
"I am."
Ms. Rose stares at Sally for a long time and then she grabs the computer and turns towards me with the meeting still ongoing.
"And as his wife. I am sure you would respect his work ethic too. Mr. Hedgehog is in the middle of a meeting."
Sally looks at the computer and then walks over to it.
She places her hand on Ms. Rose's and her jaw clenched.
"Doesn't seem like he is in the middle of one now." She closes it and then smiles at Amy… walking closer to her face. "I see why Sonic, chose you. You are all business."
"I have to be. If Mr. Hedgehog is slacking or is having a bad day for some unknown reasoning then I am there to fix it. "
"Okay… this is bad. How do I just…"
They were both in each other's face.
Sally was smiling and Amy was not.
Sally wasn't one to make angry either… but I am sure Amy was the exact same.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Sally started.
"…it means exactly what I said."
"Clarify your statement then."
"I make sure he doesn't get distracted."
"How are you going to fix this distraction.\?" Sally smiles and folds her arms. Continuing to keep her gaze on Ms. Rose who would not let her eyes move off.
But when they do, they go to mine.
"Mr. Hedgehog, your wife is being a distraction to the meeting."
….
"Oh fuck. She just said that!"
"I think she should leave until your work is done for the day."
"But I'm not leaving, Ms. Rose." Sally still was standing in her face.
"I am here to stay for a while."
That sentence startled Amy. Her eyes showed anger.
She swallowed heavily and blink hesitantly.
"You shouldn't be here- "
"But I am here. You think Sonic is just going to push me away? Tell me to leave?….no no. I am here to stay whether you like it or not."
Now her eyes were pained. She moves them to mine, and I could tell she wanting me to take her side.
…
"If you meant everything you said to me, Sonic. Then you would take my side…why are you letting her say this to me."
…
Amy wanted me to tell Sally to leave… but I could not.
"Sonic, your assistant is being rude. Make her go." Sally orders and I look at the back of her head.
I didn't speak nor breathe so once she turned around that's when my switch flipped on.
"Ah- okay stop. The both of you." I grab Sally pulling her back and Sally giggled.
"We are just having fun. No feelings hurt. Right Ms. Rose?"
I wanted to know if her feelings were hurt too.
I look at Ms. Rose who was still looking at me and she blinked once's and sucked all her emotions in.
"Yes. But the meeting is very important but if your wife is here and if she is… more important than the meeting then I will leave." Ms. Rose spoke quickly and she walked off.
"See. Even you know that I am more important than some meeting." She says to Ms. Rose.
Ms. Rose stops before leaving and grins.
"Of course, I knew that. I knew you were WAY more important the entire time."
…
She isn't talking about the meeting.
…
"I will give you both your space." She closes the doors and I blink and close my eyes.
"Amy… Come back… Don't leave. This wasn't supposed to happen"
Amy's voice… the way it sounded. She was holding back so many emotions. I could hear it. And the way she looked at me when I said nothing.
Why didn't I speak?
Even if I would have just said anything but I let her LEAVE.
I take a step towards the door… I had to find her. Stop her.
I care about her and yet… I just stood there.
"Amy… I am coming. I'm sorry I said nothing- "
"What is her problem?" Sally voice broke my train of thought and I turn around to her.
"Sally, you can't do that too her." I say quickly.
"What?" Sally was taken back from my snappy response and I was too but… she hurt Amy's feeling for no reason. "Do what? She started it first."
"It doesn't matter. These meetings are important. And you were rude to her, Sal. You can't just- "
"Okay. Okay. I am sorry. "Sally laughs and then opens the door. "I'll apologize."
I look out into the hallway and I didn't see her at her desk from here.
"Hm? Where did she go?" Sally walked out and I follow her.
"Amy…"
Sally stood by her desk and I did too as I stare at empty seat.
"Where- "I look towards the exit of the office and I didn't see her either. I walked to the window to look for her car and it was gone too.
"Amy… no."
"Cream." I say out loud and I walk to her desk.
"Yes? What is going on?" Cream looked around my face and I swallow.
"Ms. Rose. Where did she go?"
Cream didn't speak at first. Her moved away from mine in a knowing way that… Amy had left for a certain reason. A reason I should know because I wasn't stupid.
It was obvious why she left.
"She said she was hungry and went to get lunch." Cream lied because Sally was approaching us.
"Did she seem mad? I didn't mean to make her mad."
'No!" Cream jumped and smiled friendly-like. "She was just getting lunch. Speaking of that! I am going to go take mine." Cream shuts her computer and leaves this awkward situation.
"Sonic…" Sally stepped to me and grabbed my hands. "You seem pale. I said I was sorry… Is she sensitive or something?"
"No… she is my assistant and I didn't want her to be mad. "
"Heh, well I am sure she is okay." Sally started to pull me away from the front and I pass her empty desk.
"I'll text her."
I took my phone out as I got dragged back into my office.
"Are you…"
I start off my text but those words felt wrong.
"I thought we were getting lunch- "
No… that's not good enough.
"Come back so I can apologize. I should have said something but I didn't. I'm sorry."
I stare at my truthfully heart felt message but I didn't send it.
I felt too guilty to.
"Are you hungry? I made this at home." I sit down with her near my coffee table and I nod my head and grab the box. I eat slowly and Sally taps my shoulder.
"Are you sure you are, okay? You got all quiet on me?"
I smile through the excess thoughts of Amy and speak back to her.
"I'm just… happy that you brought me food. You really haven't done anything like this for me before. You have but this time it feels different so I am just taking it all in."
"True. There is a lot of things we haven't done in this office." Sally takes a bite out of her food and I watch look down to my pants and then back to meet. "After you get done eating… I want to show you something."
"Show me what?"
"Finish eating and I will."
I stare at Sally after her saying that and then I continued to eat.
"What was the meeting about anyway?"
"A company wanting to join us. We got the deal but they were um…" I try to remember what happened towards the end of the meeting because that's when Amy came in.
"That's really it." I say and I eat more.
Faster to ignore Amy's face.
I finish soon and I look at Sally on her phone and once she noticed that I was done she stood up and smiled.
"Finally." She says and she sits on my lap facing me and gets really close.
"Sally, what are you- "
Sally kissed me and I place my hands on her back. She rotated her hips as she kissed me and then I slowly kiss her back as she unbuttoned my top button. Her face moves to my neck and I close my eyes as she kisses the right spot.
"We never made love in your office and from how serious your assistant takes you then maybe you deserve an award?" she touches my belt and unloops it.
"Right?" she kisses me again.
…
"She brought up Amy again… I can't do this right now. Not with Amy feeling this way."
I stop moving my lips and but she shoved her tongue into mine.
"Sally. Just wait." I push her back and she looks at me.
"Not here." I say and Sally blushed and looked around the office.
"Why not?"
"I don't want to do this here. That's not really appropriate. I am supposed to be in a meeting."
"Ha…okay?" Sally gets off of me but I grab her hips and bring her back.
"I-It's fine though! I can always reschedule with them." I kiss her cheek and she still just looks at me.
"Is Ms. Rose really making you act this mad at me?"
"No! What? I was just saying that you can't argue with her. I don't want you to confuse my assistant in how things go. I have to respect her work too because she does set up the meetings."
"…Oh. You are right! Sorry!" Sally apologized again and stood up from me. "I feel really bad."
"Yeah…." I say looking at the door from where Amy left.
"What do you mean 'yeah'" she asks and her tone of voice change." I… I just wanted to surprise you."
"I appreciate that, Sally!" I smile and stand with her.
Fuck. I really need to focus. I can't have Sally feeling sad… Just work through this.
"It's nothing! Don't worry! Thank you sooo much for bringing me this food. But I don't have a lunch today because I am simply busy…But…" I rub her back and kiss her forehead.
"If you leave now so I can get my work done then later I will cook and surprise you with what I am make." Sally smiled and rubbed my ears and I smile at her because I loved when she did that.
"Okay… But I still have 45 minutes to kill." Shit
"Hm? Why?"
"I took off to spend time with you! Let's sit on the couch and talk"
"Shit, she still isn't leaving. I need to get to Amy.
Sally starts to take her shoes off, getting comfortable in my office and my mind works fast.
"Tell me about your new plans for the company!" Sally smiled nicely and I try not to panic.
"Nothing right now! Actually, we have reached our goal with reaching out for companies so for now we are relaxing and learning the ways." I say and she nods her head, understanding.
"That is so admirable. You don't even have to try." Sally crosses her leg and she looks over my body. "The fact that you don't want to throw me over your desk is very unusual." She brings up again because I know that was unusual for me too.
"I really have to get her out of here now. I can't have sex with her. Not right now!"
"Heh, I am definitely holding myself back." I place my hands in my pockets to stop my hands from wanting to touch her.
"Well, you don't need too…" Sally spread her legs and I look down to her thighs and swallow my spit. "Throw yourself at me."
…
"Shit… ahh."
I thump fingers in my pants and she started to rub her thighs slowly.
"Just touch me… once." She says and I walk towards her.
Sally eyes moved upward and I pet her hair and then move my hand under her chin.
"Man, the things I would do to her."
Sally sighed as I held her face. I pulled her up from her seat. Her eyes stilled into mine and I rubbed hair, admiring it.
As she stood up, I saw a faint pink hair on the couch she was sitting on.
"Amy…"
Sally moves into my face, blocking the hair on the couch and then she touches my face.
"Let's do this later. If we start now then I am not going to want to stop. And then that way…" I grip her hair and pull her body onto mine. "I can be on your mind all day until I get home."
Sally licked her lips and smiled. "O-Okay."
"Yeah so… head home. Pick up Jules. And wait for me to arrive."
I kiss her forehead.
"Alright! I-I'll go home right now!" Sally starts packing up and I felt relived and I grab my phone to see if Amy had sent any messages but she hasn't.
"Hey, she is leaving now. I see that you left but you should come back… you can't clock in and not work."
I thought sending a joking message would fit this tense situation so I hit send.
"Let me walk you out!" I push her towards the door and we start to walk through the hall, passing a certain desk that made me walk in front of her and open the door for her.
"I'll see you when we get home!" I say with a big smile and then she stops.
"You aren't going to walk me to my car?"
"Shit! I am rushing. Relax."
"Hm? I am holding the door for you so we can walk to it." I try to slow my breathing and I even take her hand and head out the door.
"What are you going to do to me at home?"
`'it's a surprise. I can't let you know until I get there."
"Aww! Tease! You are already teasing me."
"Sorry, baby. But I have too. Keep this feeling with you until I get home." I open her car door and she laugh and closes her door.
"Dammit. I was so close. I keep on saying things to egg this on."
"Maybe I should just take it then. I'm already ravenous for you." She rubs my chest and I clench my teeth together.
"Uh…When we get home- "
She fully grabs my shirt and opens her back doors to her car and pushes me in. My back lands on the car seats and before I could lean up, Sally jumps crawls on top of me and licks her lips.
"Sally, wait- "
She locks the car and throws the keys to the front.
"Sa- "
"Shh. Shh. Shh." She places her finger on my lips and I stare into her eyes.
Sally arches her back and moves in closer to my face.
"You really expected me to wait for you to get home?" She says and reaches in her dress to take her underwear off.
"W-well, I think that doing anything here isn't fair to- "
"We aren't in your office anymore… so that means there should be no excuses from you." She says and I stop talking as she moved to my chest and kissed it as she unbuttoned it.
She would peck my chest and sometimes graze her tongue on it as she went lower.
Her hands rubbed against my shaft in my pants and I let her un zip my pants and pull it out. She unbuttoned it first before sucking on my tip and blink gently as she started to suck me.
"There was no escaping this. She is right- "
I watch Amy walk past her car, from her tinted windows and I watched her wipe her face. She stopped walking and pulled her phone out to check her face and then she wiped her face once more before continuing to enter the building.
"Amy…. She is back- "
Sally shoves me in her mouth but not all the wall and I gasp.
"Ahh… Sally- "
"Am I doing, okay?" she looks at me while she sucks my dick.
"…Ye-yeah."
She smiles and goes back to sucking me and I moan softly but watch Amy walk into the building.
"I need to hurry this."
I start to lean up and I press my back on the door and I bring her on my lap. I smash my lips to hers and she moans and sucks my tongue as we make out.
I lift her bottom and Sally laughs and gasps as I go in.
"Mmm… greedy." She says and goes back to kissing me but she doesn't start moving her hips.
I grab her hips and start moving her up and down and she giggles and then moves with my hands.
"Okay. Okay. Hold on…" she whispers and then bounces on my lap.
Her arms around my neck and faces out the window as she rode. I look out the window and I think about how Amy was probably looking for me.
"Ahh!" Sally voice makes me focus back on her and I moan softly because I wasn't paying attention to this but in order to get out of this situation. I was going to have too.
"You are so tight, Sally." I say trying to stir my mind from Amy.
"Mmm! It feels so good!" Sally bounces faster and she leans up and looks at my face.
"Yes, baby. Do whatever you want to me." And I meant that because no offense to her but I wanted this to be over.
I grip her ass and she plop up and down. I close my eyes for a moment and focus on coming.
"As soon as I come. I can go."
I bite my lip and sigh in pleasure and I spread her cheeks apart as I slip in and out.
"ahhh…. Chaos." I whisper and she went faster.
"Mm!" She yells and then she touches my face as I close my eyes.
My phone vibrates as she rides me and I look down to my phone on the floor but then she grabs my face and kisses my lips.
"Hey, stop worrying about work for a moment." She moves faster keeps a hold my face so I couldn't look to the left and see who had texted me.
"What if its Amy?... Shit. Body please. Orgasm for me like you always have."
"Fuck. Come on." I whisper to myself and I notice that what I said came out my mouth and Sally looks at me.
"Oh… you want me to go faster?" Sally starts moving faster and the car starts to rock.
"Yes…" I gasp and actually start feeling an orgasm approach. "Ugh…"
"Yes! I'm- "Sally stops and bounces a couple more times before cumming and then I finally feel closer enough and I lift her up and pull out.
"Shit…." I sigh and she gets off of me and I sigh happily.
"That fun…" Sally kisses me once more and then puts her underwear on as she reaches for her keys that she threw in the front so I couldn't leave.
I start to put my clothes on and as she is distracted with getting herself back together, I look at my phone and my heart stops.
"K."
She sent the simplest 'K' I had ever seen in my life and I knew she was irritated.
"Oh! There is Amy! I should apologize!" Sally says and steps out of the car.
I watch Amy walk out of the building looking around and once she saw Sally, her face had no emotion in it.
"Sally, wait- "
Sally closed the door before I could stop her and I put my clothes on fast and then stumble out as I was buttoning my shirt and Amy eyes met mine for a moment…
As she scanned over my messy hair, sweat on my chest and then my pants that I forgot to zip and I do it as I turn around and then turn back.
She just started at me. Nothing in her eyes to indicate if she was mad or happy.
"Yeah, Ms. Rose I am sorry. I missed Sonic and got carried away. It won't happen again." Sally apologizes and Amy smiles and touches Sally shoulder but then looks at her hand.
She rubs her fingers together and then Sally laughs again.
"Sorry, I am sweaty. Your boss is very clingy."
"fuck."
"Haha." Is all Amy can muster and then she looks at me and smiles.
"Well. I hope you too are satisfied and we can continue that meeting." She says and Sally laughs at the joke I suppose that Amy made but nothing was funny at this moment.
"Okay! Bye Honey!" Sally runs to me and kisses my cheek and I didn't even get to say bye because she jumped in her car and dashed off.
I stare at Amy who waved at Sally and then she looked at me as Sally drove off.
…
"Apologize. Quick"
"I'm- "
Amy turned away and walked off back to the office and I watch her walk away until I started walking.
I look over Amy and she held her hands in the front of her and her head was held higher. She went through the door and didn't even wait for me to get there so I run up and catch it.
Amy started to walk faster and I did too.
I clear throat before speaking. "Ms. Rose!"
I say and she continues to walk and even some of my staff notices that she did not stop as she walked and then she sat down at her desk and opened her computer.
I make my way over and she typed in something small and then looked into my eyes and smiled.
"I rescheduled your meeting. They are waiting for you."
Amy voice is calm and settling. She acted as if she did not go through all she went through while I am sure I looked really concern of her.
I wanted to know what was going through her head. How could she be so calm right now. Earlier she was hitting me and blushing and now those feelings have completely shut off.
And that scared me because… why was she shutting herself off from me. I was just getting to know the real her. And I think I ruined that in the matter of four hours.
I gently place my hands on her desk and she still looked at me and her eyes made me feel so afraid to talk to her.
"A…" I hoarsely say and she blinked once and pointed to my office.
"Your meeting. Mr. Hedgehog."
Amy turned away from me and started to call a number and was taking notes as well. Working I suppose but I still watch her smile and talk on the phone as she communicates to someone, I told her to get in contact with.
"Okay. I fucked up." I walk to my office and close the door.
I got on my zoom meeting call and they started to talk again but my mind was still on Amy.
How was I going to fix this? I could apologize… Or maybe she wouldn't be mad… Of course, she would be mad…. What am I even talking about? I know Amy is going to be absolutely pissed… She gets very intimidating when she is mad as well."
But I know I would have to apologize. Talk to her or something. Maybe even take her on a private trip. I'll do anything not to lose Amy. Anything.
My meeting was ending shortly and soon we were closing too. I had some of my workers come in and wave me good bye and every time I thought it was going to be Amy walking through the door but it wasn't.
I would rather have Amy yell at me than this silent treatment but I deserve it.
I start packing anxiously as I prep my apology in my head and I open the door and I see her heading out of the office.
"Shit!" I say out loud and I run down the hall and then out the building and Amy kept walking.
I turn around to the door and fumble with the key and then I jog up to her.
"Hey… Are we…? Ah. Listen…"
The speech I practiced in my head had completely vanished and I was just stumbling over my words.
"I…. haha. I didn't know she… I…"
Amy still walked and never looked at me. She unlocked her car and I stood on the sidewalk as I watch her turn on her car.
She still didn't look at me.
I wave my hand at her and she reversed and started drive off.
"Wait." I say and she still drove and I run to my car.
" .No."
I get in and don't even bother with putting my seatbelt on and I take off. I drive down to her home because that's where she was driving.
"No… No…"
Amy wasn't even speeding but I was because she never acted this way when she got mad at me. The drive was slow and steady, well that's what it felt like but once she pulled into her driveway, I did too.
She got out and on cue, I rushed to get out of my car again and I run to the door as she opens it and then almost closes it.
But I stop it.
My hand thumps on the door and Amy stops as she was halfway into her home.
"A-Amy." I say and she turns to me.
She was smiling.
A soft, weak smile that held everything we ever had in it.
I open my mouth to speak but her delicate green eyes made me afraid of what she was thinking before I even apologized.
"I'm…"
I couldn't say the words.
Amy still looked into my eyes and I did the same to hers.
"I didn't know…. She was coming and…um. I'm sorry for what she said to you. I… I didn't expect her to be there so I was shocked. I was shocked and I know that I should have stuck up for you when she said that stuff. Which isn't true and you are important to me… And sorry that I didn't get to text you quicker. She is very affectionate- I mean like touchy! We haven't been doing much b-but lately…."
"Are you seriously going to tell her that you have been fucking your wife?!"
"Sorry. I am nervous- "
"It's okay, Sonic. I am done."
…
…
"…. ah…"
"Amy… what?" I say and she still smiled as I felt like she had just cut a huge string between us that held us together.
"I'm done."
My eyes still looked at hers and I even laugh a little to see if she was joking but she was not.
"…Okay. Let's talk for a moment." I try stepping into her house and then she placed her hand on my chest. Stopping me from coming in closer to her and her home.
"No… I think I am really done Sonic. There is nothing to discuss."
When she said that I was really just staring at her.
She was completely over me…. There was nothing I could do-
"Okay. You are mad. I get it. Let's talk about this."
"I'm not mad." She says and I try to read her but she wasn't mad.
She seemed happy in a way.
"I think… I realized that once you completely protected her over me. I think I could see that I was a second choice. I was always a second choice but to see it get told in my face… Man, that hurt for a moment. I almost forgot about what the feeling felt like to always be choice second." Amy says and leans on the door.
"Second? You aren't."
"Then tell me what I was?"
She used the word 'was' and I was started to realize that she kept speaking in the past because she really was over me.
I refuse to let us be something the past.
"You…are important to me! I know I have done some fucked up things. But with you Amy. You get me. And I get you. I'd never choose you second!"
"…. Okay." Amy says.
"Okay, what?"
"Nothing. I wanted to know and now I know. We nothing else to discuss. I told you that in the beginning."
My heart was shattering.
"Amy, I understand why you are feeling this way. I never divorced Sally. I should have. I told you I was and never did. I don't know why- "
"You do know why- "
"But this still doesn't kill what I have for you! I care about you so much. I really do." I say and I step closer and she doesn't move me away.
"I care about you too, Sonic."
"If you do then why can't we talk about this. It won't be an angry argument if that's what you are thinking. I really want to get this straight with you."
"I don't."
Amy words were dry and honest. Like she had always been.
"It's funny though. Your face looks very panicked but also like you already know that you couldn't fix this. That's how you looked. You looked like you just got caught by your parents from breaking something expensive in your home." Amy says and then reaches up to fix my collar.
"You know you can't fix it."
"Do I?..." I say and I started to feel dejected. "T-then why am I trying?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe because I made you so happy and you love to be happy. And loved. And now that this doesn't work anymore then it feels like you just lost a family member or something." Amy folds her arms.
"I am losing something." I stare into both of her blocked off eyes of emotion as she stood there. "Amy, you are lying when you say you are done… not after everything… If I made you feel sad then that's when we talk about your feelings. You can't hold all of your true feelings in."
"Says who? I feel fine." Amy voice was unbothered and I couldn't see a single emotion in her eyes.
"You don't. I can tell."
Amy sighs and fold s her arms. Not speaking or finding any interesting about what is going on.
"I had really lost her- Not yet."
"Amy… can we please talk. I want to talk and you aren't letting me talk, baby. You aren't. Please." I beg her and walk closer and she didn't move.
"I already told you."
"You did but I am begging." I say and grab her hand. "I really… really…. Care about you. I don't want this to end. I told you this isn't about sex. I really do like you. A lot. And I know you like me too."
"I do like you. But that is why I am letting you go." She says and then touches her hand on my face.
"You are happy with Sally again. Fully happy with her and your family. For the first time in years. If I really cared about you then why would I hold you back from that. I am holding you back from fully being loved. Like you always wanted right?"
I didn't agree with her and neither did I talk.
But my heart was hurting.
"I'm not mad. And I am also not quitting my job. But this thing we have. Has to stop."
"Amy… no."
"I know…" She rubs my face. "It sucks. Yeah. I thought that too while I was on my lunch break. I actually kind of cried but you really do deserve everything. You are very sweet and loving. I needed that but now. I think you should focus that all on one person… That was your first choice."
Amy eyes held happiness and I grab her hand from my face.
Still trying.
"What can I do? To make you be able to stay with me? Maybe we can get a place together? I'll visit on the weekends a-and be with each other…Anything. You know I will do it."
"I know you would but Sonic. I'm not the one. You showed me that today- "
"Then let me show you the other way that you are!" I walk closer and she looks off. "I'm serious about you. You aren't my side piece or something. I really want to be with you. That's why I took you too that nature place and bought you flowers. I… I wanted you to know that."
"Or… did you do that because you know that you were about to lose me."
"What? Amy, I still can't think about losing you even though you are completely done with me. I'm still not."
"… After that night we had sex together and you had to leave…. I was sad. Serious. I'm pretty sure I cried some of that night because I was never your number one and I could never even compete with Sally. It made me mad but I couldn't be mad. We were never planned to have feelings for each other."
"But now we do! I am still trying to figure out the best way for us to be together but-…. I don't know but I still want to try." I say and we both looked at each other.
"Please- "
"Sonic, I am done."
…
Amy moves her hand from mine and steps more into her home. "I'm not mad at you. I don't hate you. But I am letting you go because you don't need me anymore. I'm second to Sally. And you choose her over me. I probably couldn't take a hint the first time after the vacation you went on but now, I know. And its okay." Amy reaches behind her neck and I watch her necklace move and she take sit off.
She grabs my hand once more. Not to hold it but to give back the necklace I got her today.
"Be happy with your family. I still will keep my promise and never tell." She speaks.
I stare into the silver necklace in my hand and I look back at her. She was still smiling
"It was fun. I might be mad that you choose me over her forever but that's fine!" She says and laughs and then waves at me.
"I will see you at work!" She closes the door and I still stand there.
Looking at her door and then the streets lights turn on behind me. Telling me that it was getting late and I should go.
I went to the car and sat down with the necklace in my palm. I gently put it in my pocket and I place hands on my steering wheel and reverse out.
I look at her house one more time and I catch myself feeling lost. So, my eyes let a tear slide from my face and I wipe it quickly. I drive home and walk in slowly.
"Did… did I do all that nice stuff for her because I knew it was ending. I knew that if this was my last times to spend time with her that I would make her happy. But I don't know.
I went in my pocket and stared at the lonely necklace and I squeeze it in my hand.
"Daddy!" Jules was standing right beside me and he watched me closely.
"Sorry, what?" I lean down and put the necklace in my back pocket.
"Downies?" Jules said that when he thought I was sad but I pushed behind me the best I could.
"I'm fine." I say and he smiles.
"Mommy has been on her phone forever!" Jules grabs my hand and I follow him with a dragging feeling of sadness I couldn't spill to anyone.
Sally was on the phone but hung up as she saw me and hugged me.
"I hope you still have energy." She says, reminding me of what I promised her.
"Yeah…" I say and she leans my head up and looks at me.
"Actually, you do seem tired. Everything at work, okay?"
"Yeah… long day after you left."
"Okay! How about you get some rest? I'll save you dinner for later." Sally walked off and I did feel drained.
"Okay. I will be back." I say and I take slow steps to my bedroom and I take a hot shower.
The steam lightens my headache I have from stressing but it was wearing off.
I run my face with water and I smell Amy on my hand from touching her and my heart aches again.
"I really will miss her. I fucked up and I will have to live with that forever."
