Chapter 26
"How's Gil?" Amy asked suspiciously as Jeff walked out of the bathroom.
"He's um good."
"Oh really? That was Matt wasn't it."
"No." Jeff said turning away to get some coffee. He placed in carefully on the table and just to waste time began to prepare it with milk and sugar.
"Wait, what the hell is this...you drink your coffee black."
"Um...my dad reminded me that I needed more calcium."
"I just saw you chugging a galloon of milk this morning."
"So...I just wanted more milk...."
"Uh huh...give me your cell phone."
"No...it's broken"
"What are you talking about? You were just using it five seconds ago."
"Actually...I...dropped it in the toilet...here you still want it?" Jeff said offering the phone to Amy.
"Ew..." Amy hesitated as she looked up at the phone Jeff was dangling in front of her face. Then noticed the smile he was trying to hide.
"Give it to me," she said as she grabbed the phone from his hands. Jeff not expecting her to go for it, was shocked then immediately ran after her.
"Amy no!" He yelled out as she pressed the buttons to find out who had been the last person to call.
"Who were you talking to? That wasn't your dad. Wait a minute...203...isn't that the area code for Stamford?"
"Yeah, so. I was talking to one of the people over there."
"Who?" Amy said narrowing her eyes suspiciously.
"Just some guy from the magazine. Give me that," Jeff said angrily grabbing his phone back.
"You know, I don't need to justify myself to you or prove anything to you."
"No, but I do deserve an honest answer." Amy retorted.
"I was talking to Matt...and Ames, he really doesn't want to be in a relationship right now." Jeff said stone facedly.
"What the hell are you talking about?
"Come on Amy, you know what I'm talking about. The reason why you want to know if he called so badly is because you're worried about Corinne."
"Yeah, I saw the news. I hope nothing happens to that poor girl."
"Bullshit Ames, I meant you're worried about Matt and Corinne."
"There is no Matt and Corinne," Amy said vehemently without thinking.
"See!"
"I...whatever Jeff, the fact remains that..."
"Ames, you have to stop this."
"I have to go..." Amy quickly turned around and walked away from Jeff, unwilling and unable to believe the words that had just come out of his mouth.
