Ch. 17 Yes or No?
A/N: Good Morning Campers! Its me Bambi and I am back with a brand new chapter of Heartbreak For Hire! I hope you're all doing well, washing your hands, and staying inside! This chapter is probably my second favorite chapter. As always, I have not/do not/probably nor will I ever own the rights to Welcome Back, Kotter or any of its characters. I do own Amara though! Now, onto the chapter!
It's been a full month of Vinnie and Amara going out every weekend. They were closer than ever and just so happy to be with each other. Currently, Amara is getting ready at Rosalie's house. "Where's he taking you tonight?" Bambi asks as she hands Amara a shimmery yellow strapless mini dress. "I don't know. He's been pretty secretive." Amara shrugs as she takes curlers out of her hair. "Think he'll ask you to go steady?" Keke wonders. "He should. They've been out every night this month." Judy reminds. "I hope he does." Amara admits.
Rosalie stomps into the room killing the light hearted mood. "Is she ready?" Rosalie asks coldly. Rosalie hadn't been in the best mood since Vinnie and Amara became close. She's jealous and barely speaks to Amara unless it's to say something rude. "I'm ready." Amara assured. "You look trampy. Now go." Rosalie demanded. The smile dropped from Amara's face. "Says Hotsie Totsie." Amara calls over her shoulder. Rosalie shot daggers into Amara's back. "You got a lot of nerve. You know how that makes me feel!" Rosalie yells. "You called me trampy." Amara reminds
A knock comes from the door and Amara races to answer it. "Sweetheart!" Vinnie exclaims. "Hi! You ready to go?" Amara asks. "Let's go." Vinnie grabs Amara's hand and goes to his car. He seems joyous and filled with this excitable energy that Amara couldn't pin point. "What are you up to?" Amara giggles. "I got a couple of surprises. Just wait." Vinnie assured. Amara was nervous and impressed. Could it be the night? Vinnie's car pulls up to a park. Amara turns to him surprised. "Come on." Vinnie invites before they step out. Vinnie puts one hand over Amara's eyes and the other is on her hip to guide her.
"Vinnie!" Amara squeals. "We're almost there. Just relax, Sweetheart." Vinnie assured shopping in front of something. "Here we go." Vinnie moves his hands from Amara's eyes revealing a navy blue picnic blanket big enough for two, candles, and a picnic basket. "Aw Vinnie it's perfect." Amara coos before throwing her arms around his neck. "You deserve it. For we get this started, I gotta ask ya something." Vinnie starts. "What is it?" Amara asks. "We've been spending a lot of time together and I really like you." Vinnie explained. "I like you too." Amara promised.
"So you'll be my girl then?" Vinnie wonders as he pulls her closer. "Of course!" Amara accepts. Vinnie initiates their very first kiss as a couple. Right they're in a small Brooklyn Park, Amara found true love in a man whose heart she's forced to break. She makes the decision right then and there to pull out of Operation Heartbreak. "You wanna have this picnic?" Vinnie asked. "Go ahead." Amara encourages. The couple sat down on the picnic blanket as Vinnie began pulling thing's out of the basket. "Ma packed this for us." Vinnie mentions. "That's so sweet." Amara gushes.
"Yeah well she's a saint." Vinnie jokes. "I'm really forward to your party tomorrow night." Amara broadcasts. "It's gonna be great! Oh yeah, ma wants everyone to dress nice. Also, I'm picking ya up early. I wanna spend some time with you without people trying to talk to me every five minutes." Vinnie explained. "Sounds great. I'm just happy I get to go as your girlfriend." Amara admits. "I've been to make ya that since you got Yankees tickets." Vinnie shrugs. "Is that when you knew you liked me?" Amara wondered. "No, that was the beach. When did you know you liked me?" Vinnie asked.
"When you came up to my job." Amara giggled. "No girl's ever made me feel like this. You challenged me." Vinnie pointed out. "How?" Amara questions. "You don't care about me being a cool guy, all the girls I've been with, you're smart, bold, confident, cute, you don't put up with what everybody else does, and you've had me on my toes since the day we met." Vinnie lists earning a smile and kiss on the cheek from his girl. "Vinnie you're so sweet. Also, I don't care about all that stuff. I just want you." Amara assured. "And that's exactly what ya got." Vinnie laughs. The rest of picnic is exactly just that, a picnic. "Anymore surprises?" Amara asks as Vinnie is driving her home. Vinnie looks over at her grinning before slipping something into her hand. "Your cross?" Amara looks at it then back at him "I want everybody to know you're mine." Vinnie swore. "Are you sure?" Amara asks. "Of course." Vinnie nods as they pull into Rosalie's driveway. "Okay!" Amara accepts happily. Amara puts her hair up as Vinnie slips the cross around her neck.
Amara looks at the cross once it's all locked in around her neck. "I love him." Amara sighs. "I'm glad." Vinnie replies before kissing her softly. "I'll see you tomorrow." Amara promised. "Bye sweetheart." Vinnie waves off and then drives away. Amara was walking up the stairs that lead to Rosalie's house ready to fight for her way out of this plan. She wasn't putting up with this nonsense any longer. Tonight, Operation Heartbreak meets its demise.
A/N: Yikes Amara. Anyway, there you have it and I hoped you all enjoyed the chapter. As I said, this is probably my second favorite chapter after Blessed Be the Tube of Red Lipstick. We're getting very close to the end here folks. Only four chapters left. Thank you so much for reading and please come back next week. Bye guys!
