Chapter 9



âE?Mmm JeffâE? Nikki laid her head against JeffâEs warm chest and sighed. âE?That was greatâE?

âE?Uh-huhâE? Jeff mumbled. âE?I think we should get dressed nowâE?

âE?Oh ya think?âE? Nikki said as she pulled on her jeans and headed downstairs. Matt and Amy were there eating breakfast. Matt said âE~HiâE but Amy ignored her completely, earning herself a dirty look.

Remembering the events of the night before she opened the cupboard and puled out her bottle of morning after pills then smiled to herself and replaced it, a plan forming in her mind. She knew exactly how to stop Amy taking Jeff away from her.

She then turned and went out of the door for a walk.

Amy glared after Nikki, an expression of pure hatred on her face. Matt reached across the table and took her hands in his. He stared into her eyes and gave her a gentle smile.

âE?Amy, I want to talk to you about something.âE? Amy looked at him and smiled.

âE?What is it MattâE?

âE?Well this isnâEt easy to say for me so IâEll just come out and say it, Amy, baby, for months now weâEve just been skating around each other, you mean a lot to me Amy and I want us to be together, officially, not just what weâEve been doing. I mean we have good sex but thatâEs not what important to me Ames, whatâEs important to me is youâE?

Amy smiled; she loved Matt with all her heart and had dreamed of this for years. She leaned across the table to kiss him. For a few seconds, in that kiss she forgot her troubles with Nikki and Jeff. She felt happy, normal again for the first time since Jeff disappeared. When the kiss broke and she pulled away she said to Matt.

âE?You donâEt know how long IâEve wanted to hear that Matt. I always loved you but after Jeff disappeared I was scared to get close to anybody.âE?

They both stood up and walked over to each other and shared another passionate kiss. Matt slipped his arms around Amy pulling her closer to him, the kiss deepened until they broke apart gasping for air. Amy clung to Matt as he whispered that he loved her. Amy wondered if Nikki really loved Jeff, like she did Matt. She felt she would do anything to keep him and wondered if thatâEs what Nikki felt about Jeff. She pushed those thoughts out of her mind as she whispered back to Matt.

âE?I love you tooâE?
