Confrontations- Part 2

Bruce walked back to his bedroom with Amy's shirt. He was taking no chances with anybody else seeing it. He stopped in the door way, seeing Amy almost fully clothed.

"What...."

"Bruce I've gotta go, I mean David is going to the courthouse and I'm not there yet!"

"But Amy,"

"I'm sorry," She grabbed her shirt and threw it on.

"Amy please don't go."

"I have to." Amy made her way to the door and opened it slowly, checking to see if David had gone.

"Amy how are you getting to the courthouse?"

"I'm gonna walk, it will take too long to wait for a taxi." She stepped out of the door and carried on walking.

"Amy, please stay. Or at least let me drive you!" Desperate to stay with her just a little longer.

"No, I'm fine. What if David sees you?" Without turning to face him, she waved and then she was out of sight. Not even a kiss goodbye. Bruce stood dejected in his doorway. He couldn't believe how much David was ruining his and Amy's lives. His heart said for him to follow her and confront David, but his head told him he should stay out of it and let Amy decide the pace.

David pulled into the courthouse carpark and found only one car contained in it....Amy's. He got out and walked over to it. Nobody was around and he checked to see if it was locked.

At first he was confused, then he started to get worried. What if something had happened to her, you hear all kinds of stories of what taxi drivers have done to their passengers. He tried to calm himself but it wasn't working. He began to pace, he had to think. Should he call the police? No, they wouldn't do anything, there was no evidence she was even missing. Should he call Mrs Gray? No, no point in worrying her. What to do....

Finally Amy came within sight of the courthouse. She quickened her pace until she got to the carpark. She then slowly entered, not really happy about being here alone, with nobody around to help her if something happened.

As she rounded the corner she saw David pacing between her car and his, she smiled.

"Hiya, what are you doing here so late?" Amy asked innocently. David looked up and ran over to her, he took her in his arms and held her tightly.

"I thought something had happened to you! Why did it take you so long to get here? I need to speak to you."

"Whoa, lots of questions! I decided to walk, it's a beautiful night. Hence the time it took me to get here and what is it you want to tell me that couldn't wait until tomorrow night, or even tomorrow morning?"

"Um, it's kinda complicated." Amy looked up into his eyes and smiled. He looked like he was having alot of problems with what he was about to say.

"Go on,"

"Well," he paused looking around him, "I don't think this is the right place for this!"

"Ok," Amy was starting to worry what he was going to tell her. "But you might as well tell me now cuz its as good a place as any."

"Right, yeah I spose it is." He took a deep breath, "Amy I am completely and utterly in love with you, no words can describe how I feel exactly but, I want us to be together. I love you and will do anything to prove that to you."

Amy looked away. This was definitely not the time for this. Especially after where she had just come from. David squeezed her for a response, and she looked back into his eyes and saw truth, desire and longing. She did love him too, but she didn't want to say it. She had been unfaithful to him and now he had proclaimed his love for her.

"Amy are you ok?" David looked at her concerned. "You look a little pale!"

"I'm fine," David carressed her cheek, "I love you too." It slipped out before she could stop herself and tears ran down her cheek as David leant in to kiss her. She pulled away and walked to her car.

"Amy?" He followed her and stopped her opening her door. "Amy, why are you crying?" She was trying hard not to look at him. She was too scared that the truth might come out and she was scared by the strength of her feelings. 2 hours ago, she had been ready to forget David and move on with Bruce, and now, and now she didn't know what to do. David proclaiming his love for her at that moment was possibly the worst thing that could happen. "Amy look at me," He gently turned her to face him. She fell against him and as their lips joined she tried to forget the situation that she was in. She kissed with great passion that shocked David at first, but he kissed back with great enthusiasm.

Bruce lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. He shouldn't have answered the door. She hadn't wanted him to, and if he hadn't she would still be here. Or David could have carried on knocking and woken the neighbours. But he couldn't get the image of her lying under him, joining him in what could have been a passionate action. Kissing him like he had never been kissed before. He sat up frustrated with himself, at David and Amy for leaving.
"Wow," David came up for air, "that was amazing!"

Amy looked away and smiled.

"You ok?"

"Yeah, it's just," she looked at him out of the corner of her eye, "nothing!"

"Amy what is it?" For one second she thought about blurting it all out, but she held herself back.

"Nothing!" She kissed him softly on his lips before opening her car door. "I've got to get home, Lauren will be missing me."

"I don't think she will be missing you as much as you think she is."

"What makes you say that," she looked at him with her head on one side.

"Victors there!" He smiled at her, she looked adorable with her head tilted and her wild hair surrounding her face.

"I see, well it's a school night so we better get them home and then go to bed."

"Is that a proposition," a crooked grin crept onto David's lips.

Amy smiled, "Goodnight David," he pulled her back to him, placing his lips on hers.

"We will see each other at your house Amy, then we can say goodbye there."

"Ok, see you then." Amy moved back to her car and sat down.

Bruce was pacing up and down Amy's driveway. Maxine had tried to get him to come inside but he was having none of it. He stood still as he saw Amy's car pull up.

"Bruce what are you doing here?"

"Amy I...."

"David will be here any second, you should go...." Amy turned to see David parking his car.

"Hey you cheated." He ran up behind her and grabbed her kissing her on the neck. Bruce stepped out from the shadows.

"Hello McClaren." David looked up in surprise, "Didn't expect to see you here."

"Bruce, just go, we can talk tomorrow."

"Why don't we speak now Amy, hmmm, why not now?"

"Bruce this is not the time or place." David tightened his grip on Amy. "David why don't you go inside?" She squeezed his arms.

"But honey, we...." He began to protest, "Ok." He kissed her quickly before making his way up to the house.

"So what happened between us today? Huh? You just gonna dismiss it and forget it happened. Carry on with McClaren?"

"Bruce it's not that simple, you know that!" He stepped towards her and place his hand on her cheek.

"Amy, you left without saying goodbye. You just can't do that. We were so close, so close and you left." Tears welled in her eyes as he carressed her cheek.

"Bruce, please don't,"

"Amy why did you leave?"

"You were just like David, you had to answer the door, you couldn't just leave it for me."

"But it could have been Rebecca."

"I understand that Bruce, but you had me there, there are just some things you just don't stop. You don't leave somebody like that."

"You did too you know, you left."

"I did and i apologise. But you have to understand, one of the main reasons i was with you was because i couldn't stand the pain, i couldn't take being hurt anymore, what David was doing was hurting me. Then you started to act the same, i've given David another chance. You have to understand why. He deserves it."

"What about me? Don't i deserve another chance?"

"Bruce i'm sorry but i'm glad that David came and knocked on the door. It stopped something that we may have regretted."

"I wouldn't have regretted it!" He leant in to kiss her and Amy stumbled backwards.

"No Bruce!" Amy ran to the house. She hadn't seen David watching from the house.
