"I've got it," Alyson said, standing up, and answering the phone.

"Hello?" she said

"Hey, Al, it's Drake, can I talk to Amanda?" Drake said

"Sure, I'll get her," Alyson put the phone down and said, "Amanda, Drake's on the phone,"

"Oh my God," Amanda said, she stood up, and went to get the phone. "Hello?" she said nervously

"Hey, it's me," Drake said, also nervously

"Hi," Amanda said

"Um, I wanted to apologize, I can't believe I didn't trust you, you're the most trustworthy, honest, caring person I've ever met, and I couldn't be more sorry for not realizing that from the get-go." Drake said

"You shouldn't be the one who's sorry, it was totally my fault, I completely blew it out of proportion, and I shouldn't have. I'm sorry." Amanda said

"Amanda, I can't believe how much I miss you. You are basically my life, and I don't know what I would do without you,"

"I know, I feel the same way. But, one question, when I called earlier, Chelsea answered the phone, why?"

"Oh, because she came over to ask you something, and then she asked for her CD back, and went to get it, and she was out here with the phone, so she answered it."

"Oh. Thank God. I was all panicked because I had this horrible dream that you and her were expecting a baby, and it was horrible, so when she answered the phone, it was like, 'Oh my God!',"

"Wow, well, that's just wrong for so many reasons, but I'll start with two. One: I'm married to you. Two: Chelsea is not my type, and is waaaaaaay too high maintenance."

"Yeah, Sam isn't my type either."

"So, are you coming home?"

"I think, if you want me to,"

"Of course,"

"Great, so should I be there, around five."

"Sure, but my dad is opening a club tonight at 7, and he wants me to be the band, but the rest of my band has the flu, so I was wondering if you would sing with me?"

"Sure I would love to. What are we singing?"

"Well, the song Josh and I sang together at my dad's birthday, it's his favorite song,"

"You mean, 'Soul Man'?"

"Yeah,"

"Great, I like that song too, it reminds me of you," Amanda said, laughing

"Really? Well, I'm glad you like it, because I couldn't do this without you,"

"Don't worry, I've always got your back,"

"Ditto. Well, talk to you later, love ya."

"Love ya. Bye."

Amanda hung up the phone and looked at Alyson and Mindy, who were staring anxiously,

"So……" Alyson asked, barely containing her enthusiasm

"We're back together!" Amanda said

"Yes!" Mindy and Alyson said hugging her.

At five o'clock sharp, Amanda arrived back at her and Drake's condo. Even though she knew there was nothing going on between he and Chelsea, she was still nervous. She knocked on the door, and Drake answered it almost instantly.

"Hey," he said

"Hi," she said, not sure what to say or do next, she just stood there.

"Are you going to come in or just stand there?" Drake said

"Oh, sorry." she said, walking past him, and rolling her suitcase into their bedroom.

Amanda came out of the room, and looked at Drake who was staring blindly at the mantle, and then said, "Um, are you O.K.?"

"Huh? Oh, yeah, fine."

"So, what are you wearing to this club opening?"

"Hmmm, I think a suit, what about you?"

"Oh it'll take me forever to pick something out, but I was making sure you knew what you were going to wear," Amanda said

"Oh, you better start looking now, because we only have an hour before we have to leave,"

"O.K." Amanda said leaving the room

At exactly 6 o'clock, Amanda was ready. (She was wearing exactly what she wore to the opening of the second Belle Gray boutique, picture link here:

"Wow, you look amazing." Drake said

"Thanks. So do you," Amanda said

They were about to kiss, when there was a knock on the door.
