TITLE: Choices
BY: Fearie Dust
SUMMARY: All the choices we make have consequences, good or bad. Matt now has reason to believe that Elektra is still alive, but what about Amy, his fiancé?
This is based after the movie not the comic book.
Matt sat waiting for Amy to arrive. He was waiting at his favorite restaurant. A local Italian place around the corner. What was taking Amy so long to get there?
He stopped a waiter walking by him and asked, "Excuse me could you tell me the time?"
The waiter checked his watch and answered, "It is 8:30, sir."
"Thank you."
She was late as usual. Twenty minutes rolled by, and she finally arrived. She hadn't sat down at the table yet, but he could tell it was her by the scent of her perfume from across the dining hall. Amy was tall girl with shoulder length brown hair. She walked over to the table where he was sitting, and leaned down and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. "Sorry to keep you waiting, sweetie, I got caught up at work." She said
"It's alright I wasn't waiting long." He lied, "What happened?"
"One major client came in for some last minute shopping and we had to close the whole store for her" She lied, "She said that if we did not shut down the store for her she would never shop in there again."
Her heart raced, and he knew she was lying. He went on casually as if nothing had happened, and asked, "Who was it?". Now she had him interested
She looked up from her menu and gave him a small smile, but he could tell that she was nervous. She answered, "Mrs. Hapanmyas.", "The last time she came to our store she bought all of the emerald jewelry she stated, "I thought that we were going to have to send the poor sales woman to the hospital. "How was your day?"
"Fine."
From what he heard about this Mrs. Hapanmyas, the president of some small mid west country, was not a very nice woman, but he didn't see why Amy had to lie to him about where she was or what she was doing. These lies of hers about where she was were becoming more and more frequent. She had lied to him just last night. She would not tell him where she had gone to with her friends. But for some reason he had not confronted her about them yet.
She hated to lie to him, but she couldn't tell him that she was having an affair with Steven Webb, their next-door neighbor and one of Matt's best friends, and especially with them being married in only a month. She was planning on telling him tonight , but now she couldn't
Their waiter came by, "Are you ready to order?"
After their waiter had left there were a few moments of uncomfortable silence. But Amy broke the silense once again she leaning across the table, but this time she removed his glasses. "Matt, do you mind?"
It all came rushing back to him now. He was again walking up the steps of the Grand Hotel lobby where Elektra was waiting for him. He was again dancing with her, and she was removing his glasses. "Do you mind?"
His thoughts were interrupted by Amy's voice she, was complaining about the food quality here, as she does with every other restaurant they went to. Matt was only half listening he was again lost in his own thoughts.
I shouldn't be having these thoughts. I am going to get married. Besides Elektra is dead. Matt sat in silence as he listened to her go on about her day, and he wondered if Elektra might actually be there
Mrs. Hapanmyas is a character in the Elektra comic book in which they also had to shut down the entire store for her. This comic is Power Play part 1.
This is my first story and I want to know if I should keep writing so at least for this story pleas review and tell me if you like it or hated it, and I like constructive criticism
