Ch. 14 Second Date Jitters
A/N: Good Afternoon Campers! I am Bambi and I am back with another chapter! I am so sorry for the delay. I know I usually post earlier than this but this week has been crazy and I went out last night. So when I got up this morning I went to edit the chapter and absolutely hated what I wrote. It needed to be tweaked. As always, I have not ever/do not/probably never will own the rights to Welcome Back, Kotter or any of it's characters. I do own Amara though! Now, onto Chapter 14.
Amara has been nervous ever since Vinnie told her he'd be taking her dancing. She attempted to dance related things on TV but none of them really stuck with her. So, instead of making a fool out of herself, she calls Vinnie. "Hello," Vinnie answers. "Hey Vinnie," Amara replied. "Hey, Sweetheart. You doing alright?" Vinnie asks. "Not really." Amara admits nervously. "What's wrong?" He questions. "I'm nervous about this whole dance thing. I don't want to embarrass myself or you." Amara sighs. "What? Sweetheart that's crazy! You'll be fine okay? Just follow my lead." Vinnie assured.
"You sure?" Amara asks. "Course I'm sure. Don't worry about it were gonna have fun." Vinnie promised. Amara grinned feeling a little bit about the whole deal. "Okay. If you promise, then I'll see you Saturday." Amara finalizes. "Saturday Sweetheart." Vinnie finalized before hanging up the phone.
Saturday came faster than a run away train. It was Vinnie and Amara's second date and she was feeling all kinds of emotions. Nervous, not because of the plan, but because of the dancing. She knew Vinnie has assured her but she's still worried she's gonna screw up. Another emotion Amara was feeling is,excited. She's excited because she gets to see Vinnie. Amara also felt a little sad because she's come to the realization that the plan was almost over. One more date, sex, and then she'd be forced to break his heart. Truth be told, Amara really didn't want to go through this anymore.
Vinnie had grown on her. So much so, that every time she thinks about him she feels butterflies. She's never felt that way about another person before. Vinnie was absolutely nothing like the guy who hurt her. Vinnie was sweet, funny, and actually caring. He just handles things in incorrect ways. It will destroy her the day she hurts Vinnie. "You okay, Amara? You haven't talked at all." Bambi whines. "Sorry, Bambi. I was just in my own head. Are you almost done?" Amara wonders. Bambi is currently trying her very best to strategically place a fake white Camellia flower into the side of her head. "Just. One. Second." Bambi promised as she finally snaps it.
Amara, in slight pain grits her teeth while Bambi sprays her bouncy chestnut shaded curls with hairspray. "You look good. I know you're a little nervous but try to be as sexually charged as possible." Judy consults. "I'll try," Amara nods. Keke sprays perfume on her as Rosalie walks in. "She ready?" Rosalie asks. "You tell us?" Bambi points over at Amara. Rosalie walks up to her, almost as if she's sizing her up. "Perfect. Now tonight, he'll probably take you to the billboard. Just be careful in those platforms. Don't want a broken ankle." Rosalie says coldy staring down at Amara's gold platforms that look great with her short white dress.
"Okay." Amara smiles fakely. Rosalie's been so weird lately and Amara wasn't in the mood to entertain her tonight. The loud knock comes from Rosalie's front door signaling that Vinnie was here to get Amara. She races to answer it. "Lover!" Amara exclaims. "Sweetheart!" Vinnie greets before pecking her softly on the lips. "You ready to go?" Amara asks. "Put these in water first." Vinnie suggests as he gives another boquet of white roses. "You got me flowers again?" Amara gasps in surprise. "Course. Told ya you were special." Vinnie smirks. "I'll set them aside and put them in water once I get back to the island." Amara explains setting them down. Vinnie grabs Amara's hand and they leave for a night of adventure.
A/N: And that was chapter fourteen. Again, I'm sorry for the delay. I had to tweak this chapter. The original version was much shorter. I prefer this one and I hope you all do too. Next chapter will be Vinnie and Amara at their dance thing. Thank you for reading and I'll see you next Saturday! Bye bye!
