Chapter Eight
Amanda was curled up on her sofa at home relaxing after what had been a stressful day after returning from the overnight mission. She was armed with a glass of wine in one hand and the TV remote and her Laptop placed surgically on her lap connected to the Internet and talking to her friend Goldenlion (Louise) from England.
Goldenlion: So what's this bit of revenge thing that's going to be going on then.
Capmunroe: We don't know yet were still in the process of working through it, but I just wanted to remind you don't ask about it unless I talk about it as they like ghosting us, that's one of the main reason that we're doing this.
Goldenlion: Ok, I promise not to bring it up.
Capmunroe: good cos if you hear me and Newbe talking a little let's say heated just ignore us or come say something enthusiastic to us okay.
Goldenlion: you got it cos it sounds like those 2 need to be sorted out. And if you get the chance to, you know, with Newbe now that he knows who you are, don't be afraid to indulge a lot. Lol
Capmunroe: Louise I was sure you've got a one track mind now I've just got the proof. Anyway I think I'm going to call it a night so talk soon ok.
Goldenlion: you got it, bye.
Amanda quickly logged off the net and then closed her laptop top, not waiting for it to close down fully before doing that. Reaching over to the side of her, where she had dropped the remote she turned the TV off and put down her now empty glass of wine on the coffee table. She placed the laptop on the table next to the wine glass and Amanda got up from her seat letting a blanket that was over her lap drop to the floor. Deciding to tidy up in the morning she started walking towards her bedroom.
She just turned the light off when there was a knock at the door, thinking to herself she thought 'well there goes my early night' then flipped on the light and then opened the front door. Standing there looking cold out on the porch was Jonas wrapping his arms around himself in an attempt to keep himself warm.
"Jonas what are you doing here" Amanda asked, shocked as this was the first time that she had actually seen Jonas away from base that wasn't a mission.
"Well, I just thought that I'd come round and tell you an idea that I have for the revenge thingie with Jack and Sam" Jonas said between his teeth clinking with how cold he was.
"Oh, come in then" Amanda invited him in and closed the door after him then followed him into the living room. "Would you like a cup of coffee I can quickly make you a cup if you want" Amanda said not really sure what to do as she hadn't had a man that she liked in her home alone in a long time.
"Sure coffee would be nice thank you Amanda" Jonas said throwing her a gentle smile blushing slightly at the same time now realising the situation they were in. Amanda walked into what Jonas assumed was the kitchen area and Jonas had a quick look around her living room.
Taking a seat on her sofa he picked up the blanket, which she had dropped earlier and folded it up neatly and placed it on the arm of the sofa near him. Just then Amanda walked back in carrying two cups of steaming hot and sweet smelling coffee. Placing the coffees on the coffee table she joined Jonas on the sofa and looked at him saying, "Well then Jonas what's this idea you have?"
"Ok, well there's three stages to this plan, stage one, we send each of them a box of Chocolate anonymously, stage two, we send Sam a box of chocolates with a love poem from J and send Jack a box of chocolates with a love poem from S, stage three, we send each of them a box of chocolates with a note to meet for a romantic candle lit dinner where we well surprise them and have something to laugh about them for a change" Jonas said unable to take a giant grin off his face.
Smiling back at him Amanda said "Well Jonas, I can well and truly say I like your plan."
"Good because I've been trying to come up with some good ones all night and that was the best I could think of" Jonas said feeling relieved that she liked his plan.
There were a few minutes of silence while they both thought to themselves about the plan then Jonas spoke up and turn to face Amanda "Amanda" he spoke quietly.
Amanda turned facing Jonas and said "yes Jonas?"
It was then that Jonas was unable to make words at the realisation of how close they actually were. All he could manage to do was get lost in her chocolate brown eyes and she couldn't help doing the same with his eyes.
Slowly they drifted towards each other until finally their lips met on one of the gentlest kisses that Amanda had ever felt.
The next morning Amanda woke up with a smile on her face thinking back to the night before. She got out of bed and went to get ready for the day as Jonas was coming round in about an hour to set their plan into action.
It was when she was making her breakfast that there was a knock at the door, knowing whom it was going to be she quickly shouted, "It's open Jonas." Jonas walked into the house to be greeted by the smell of freshly cooking bacon and eggs.
Making his way towards the kitchen he leant against the door frame just watching Amanda as she cooked, "Morning Jonas" Amanda said not even turning around to greet Jonas.
"Morning" Jonas replied unable to stop the smile that appeared on his face.
"What's with you this morning, your way to lively" Jonas commented on that she seemed to awake for 0800 hours in the morning.
"Me, oh just got a reason to be happy this morning that's all" Amanda said spooning bacon and scrambled eggs out on two plates.
Turning around she grinned at him then placed two plates on the small dinning table that was in the corner of the kitchen then sat down in front of one and started eating. When Jonas didn't come join her she looked up at him still stood at the door frame and said "Come on eat before it gets cold and then we'll sent stage one in to motion." With that Jonas quickly took the other seat and started eating still smiling.
Before both of them knew it breakfast was over and they were leaving the house and getting into Amanda's car ready to head to Sam's house. Parking just down the street from where Sam lived Jonas and Amanda sat in the car discussing who should be the one to take the box of Chocolates down the street. In the end Jonas was the one who volunteered to do it after a few words from Amanda.
The street was quite so it was pretty easy for Jonas to casually walk up to Sam's door and leave the box on her door step and look for a place to duck and cover behind which he quickly found, he rang the doorbell and ran behind a nearby bush that was big enough to hide him from view.
Amanda and Jonas watched from there separate hiding places as Sam answered the door and picked up the chocolates with a smile on her face then turned round and went back inside before Amanda and Jonas dare move from their hiding places and went back to the car.
