Part 3: The Discovery
Dotty woke up early the next morning, she sat up in bed
and remembered the strange conversation she had with Amanda last night and
decided she would go see if she was up. She went to the bathroom, washed her
face, and put on her robe. (She still couldn't find her slippers) She left the
bathroom and made her way to Amanda's room, she was surprised to find that
Amanda was not in her room and her bed appeared to be unslept in, but Dotty
just figured that she made the bed already. Since Amanda wasn't in her room she
proceeded down the stairs and when she reached the bottom of those stairs she
froze in her tracks, smiled and whispered, "I should have known."
Dotty moved up to the couch for a closer look. The two
were sleeping peacefully together on the couch. The man was lying with his back
to the seat of the couch, one hand was clasped with Amanda's while the other was
placed on her lower back. One of his legs was off the couch and his foot was
touching the floor, the other leg was stretched out on the couch. Amanda was
draped over the half of the man that was towards the back of the couch, her
head laid on his bare chest, besides the hand that was clasped with the man's,
her other hand was up in his hair, one of her legs was entwined with his while
the other was outstretched next to his outstretched one. She was covered with
her white robe and was wearing her pajamas. Dotty couldn't tell if the man
lying next to her daughter had any clothes on because the robe was covering the
only part she couldn't see; every other inch of skin she could see was bare.
Their breathing was synchronized and Amanda seemed to fit perfectly next to the
man. Dotty was dying to know if the man had shorts on and she knew she might
regret it if she peeked, but being the way she was she looked and was relieved
to find that he did indeed have a pair of snug shorts on that look oddly
familiar. Dotty placed the robe back down, careful not to spoil the moment,
sighed, and went to get the Polaroid.
When Dotty came back she snapped a quick picture of the
two for later reference and proof. She got herself some orange juice and went
upstairs to take a hot shower.
Lee woke up first to the sound of running water and
whispered in Amanda's ear.
"Amanda, Amanda wake up." He shifted position
a little.
Amanda stirred
"Amanda your mother is up."
"What!" Amanda shot up from her current
position and accidentally kneed Lee in the balls.
"Ouch! Amanda!" Lee stood up.
"Oh! I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to." Rushing
her words.
"It's okay. It's okay."
They both smiled, made eye contact, and then broke out
into laughter.
(laughing as she tries to talk) "Ssshhhhh! You have
to be quiet"
Amanda took one look at Lee and broke out into laughter
again.
"What?" Lee protested.
"You look so funny in my shorts, they're so small
on you!"
Lee grabbed a pillow from off the couch and playfully
hit Amanda.
"Hey!"
Amanda grabbed the other pillow and whacked him back.
They broke out into a hysterical pillow fight and kept
going until Amanda finally collapsed into Lee, who then fell onto the floor.
They laughed about two more minutes.
"Breakfast?" Suggested Amanda
"Can't. Your mother's up remember."
"Oh yeah, I forgot, well then you better change so
I can take you to your car, in the meantime I will call a tow truck to meet us
there."
"Okay, where do you want me to change, I can't go
upstairs."
"Ummm, just change in the laundry room, I won't
look, promise."
"All right, not that I mind though" They
laughed. "Just kidding."
Lee changed and Amanda drove him to his car in her pj's
and he gave her a quick kiss on the lips goodbye. Amanda was surprised by his
action, but didn't question it because she really didn't mind it, in fact she
sort of liked it, a little shot of electricity had shot threw her and given her
the chills.
"Thanks a million, I owe you"
"I'll remember that, bye."
"Bye"
TBC soon…
