"Damn it, I want one like him." Michelle said from behind Amanda who was being hugged by both her dad and brother after John put her down
"I have a brother." John said
"Really one that's single?" Michelle asked
"Yeah he is defiantly single, he is still living with my dad at the moment but he is looking for a place of his own around Florida." John said
"Well I guess I will meet him at the wedding." Michelle said
"Yeah he is going to be one of my groomsmen." John said
"Well then I will meet him then." Michelle said
"Why will you meet him then?" Amanda asked
"Because that will be the only time I will get to meet him isn't it?" Michelle asked
"Not necessarily." Amanda said
"What does that mean?" Michelle asked
"That means that being the maid of honor entails some responsibility." Amanda said
"Really, I'm your maid of honor?" Michelle asked
"If I remember correctly didn't we make this plan a few years ago that whoever got married first the other was going to be the maid of honor?" Amanda asked
"Yes we did, I love you." Michelle said hugging Amanda
"Hey I thought your feet hurt?" Adam asked
"They do, it's horrible." Michelle said
"Well you could take your shoes off now, and I can carry you back to the house." Adam said
"Thank you but I think I can deal with it until I get to the house." Michelle said
"What about you Linda do you want to walk or would you like me to carry you?" Mark asked
"I think I can walk, I've learned the hard way about walking in heels." Linda said
"Don't even think about asking her John, she is walking." Michelle said grabbing Amanda's arm and dragging her up between her and Linda
"Wow, Michelle, you had Adam ask to carry you and you turned him down, what the hell happened?" Amanda asked
"It's a long story I'll explain it later." Michelle said
"Okay whatever." Amanda said as they got to the house and all the three of the girls sat down and took the shoes off
"Wow, apparently none of you can wear heels." Adam said
"Bubby, you know I hate wearing heels, I always have." Amanda said
"Yeah I know." Adam said
"So are you guys still severely pissed at us?" Mark asked
"I don't know about the other two, but I still am, you should have told me what you were up to." Linda said
"If we told you what we were up to, you would have told Amanda what was going on to keep her from being mad at John and we kind of needed the anger." Mark said
"Why would you need us to be mad at you?" Amanda asked
"Because the looks on your faces when you realized what was going on and lost all pretenses of mad made for a better reaction to the whole thing." Mark said
"Okay, whatever." Linda said
"Okay, well Michelle and I need to talk about something so we are going to my other hide away that no one knows about, we will be back later." Amanda said grabbing Michelle's arm and walking out the door. When they got to where they were going Amanda asked
"So why did you turn down having my brother carry you back to the house, you know that the only reason my mom said no to Mark was because you said no and we both know that I would have gladly jumped into John's arms if you hadn't dragged me away from him so what is going on with you?"
"After hearing what your brother did to you with your best friend and everything and then listening to how bad it hurt you to deal with being mad at your brother, I just couldn't let it show that I liked him and that I wanted to date him." Michelle said
"Wait you want to date my brother but you're afraid to because of what happened with him and Amy?" Amanda asked
"Yes." Michelle said
Michelle, Adam and Amy did that behind my back and cost me two of the most important people in my life at the time, with you I don't have to worry about that, I know your single and I know that you don't have a boyfriend whom I happen to be as close to as a sister that he never had, it would be completely different with you and Adam." Amanda said
"I get that but I also know that he has been married twice and has cheated on both of them, and I don't think I could handle that happening to me, especially it being my best friends brother because then it would come down to me losing you as a friend." Michelle said
"You would never lose me as a friend, I know how my brother is and granted I don't like the idea of you two dating, I would deal with it for your sake and if something were to happen between the two of I would be on your side before I would be on his." Amanda said
"Yeah but you can't stand being mad at your brother and you would eventually forgive him and once that happens I wouldn't be able to see to you because I would be afraid that your brother would be right there." Michelle said
"I would make sure that he wasn't, I promise you that." Amanda said
"Okay, so say we do start dating and he cheats on me but he denies it, what would you do then?" Michelle asked
"I've known my brother for a long time and trust me when I say that I would know when he was lying." Amanda said
"Ok, fine then, I guess if he was to ask me out I guess I could date him, unless that is I like John's brother." Michelle said
"So you are going to wait and see if you like Sean more than my brother?" Amanda asked
"Yes." Michelle said
"Okay." Amanda said
"Okay, can we go back to the house now, I'm really tired and I know the guys are probably freaking out?" Michelle asked
"Yeah I'm tired too; I guess we should go back now." Amanda said as they started to walk back to the house.
"What is taking them so long, this is killing me it is dark outside." Linda said pacing back and forth
"Calm down mom it's okay, I'm sure there fine, Amanda knows where they are and they are both adults here." Adam said
"I don't care how old they are this is just wrong of them to leave like this and not come back." Linda said
"Linda, seriously it is okay, they will be back any minute now, it is going to give you a heart attack if you don't calm down." Mark said sitting down on the couch between John and Adam watching Linda pace back and forth
"I don't care I am not going to calm down until my daughter is back under this roof, I can not believe you let them leave on there own." Linda said looking outraged at all three of the guys sitting on her couch
"It isn't like they would listen to any of us they are both in there 20's they can take care of themselves calm down." Adam said
"I can't see how the two of you can sit here and not care, it is your fiancée and the girl you say your in love with that are out there wandering the streets alone in the middle of the night." Linda yelled as the door opened
"Where the hell have you been, do you have any idea what time it is?" Linda yelled running up to the door and hugging Amanda and then Michelle
"What the hell?" Amanda asked looking at all three of the guys sitting on the couch looking about as bewildered as they felt
"It is after midnight, what the hell took you so long to get back home?" Linda asked
"We were talking and neither one of us wear a watch and we didn't have our phones with us so we lost track of time." Amanda said
"Well the next time you decide to wander off, make sure you have something or someone else with you." Linda said
"Wait a minute here, are you telling me that you freaked out because we weren't back by midnight, jeez come on mom, we are both in our twenties, I think it is only fair that considering our ages we should be allowed to do what we want, when we want, and for however long we want." Amanda said
"Well when you leave your boyfriend and fiancée..." Linda was interrupted by Michelle
"Boyfriend?"
"Yeah you know my son." Linda said looking first at Adam and then Michelle and then back again
"That's what you two are isn't it?" Linda asked
"Um no mom, we are not even close to dating." Adam said
"But I know that you guys have had sex the same way I know John and Amanda have." Linda said
"Wait. Stop. How the hell do you know any of that?" Amanda asked
"I can see it in your eyes, the way you all look at each other." Linda said
"Mark did you know that she could do that?" John asked
"No, I had no idea she could do that, it's actually kind of scary if you think about it." Mark said
"Yeah you're telling me, this is my mother telling me she knows secrets about us that we wanted to keep from her." Adam said
"Yeah how long have you been able to do that mom?" Amanda asked
"Call it a parent's intuition, I could tell the moment you all walked in the door that you all had had sex at least once." Linda said
"At least?" Adam asked looking at Amanda and John
"Hey don't look at us, were not the ones being questioned now." Amanda said
"Hey what makes you think it was us?" Michelle said
"I wasn't questioning anyone I don't care how many times you have had sex with who I was just making a point." Linda said
"So do you know how many times we have slept with each other or are you just saying that." Amanda asked
"Just saying that." Linda said
"Oh for the love of god." Amanda said
"What is that for?" Linda asked
"Because now that it has been brought up everyone in this room is going to want to know how many times we've all slept with each other." Amanda said
"Well it is no one's business but those of you who want to know the answer to that question." Linda said
"Oh come on mom, we all know that you are dying to know how many times Adam and I have slept with our significant others, we have always known that." Amanda said
"She is right mom; we used to talk about how nosy you were when it came to our relationships." Adam said
"Yeah right whatever, I'm done with this topic unless you want to tell me, I'm going to bed, I will see you guys tomorrow." Linda said walking into her bedroom
"Yeah guys we should all get some sleep we have to go back to work on Monday." Mark said following Linda into the bedroom
"Do you really think she isn't wondering about how many times we have slept with each other?" Michelle asked
"Oh she is defiantly wondering she is just trying to play the good guy." Amanda said
"Really, why?" Michelle asked
"Because she got called out on it." Adam said
"Oh okay." Michelle said
"Okay are you ready to go to bed, I'm really tired and I need to go home and see my cat." Michelle said
"Yeah let's go." Amanda said standing up and starting to walk to the bedroom
"Hey Michelle wait a second, can I ask you a question first?" Adam asked
"Um yeah sure." Michelle said turning around and walking to over to Adam
"So what is he going to ask her?" Amanda asked John when he walked over to stand next to her leaning one shoulder against the wall
"He is going to ask her out, he has been driving me and your dad crazy because he is madly in love with her and she seems to be avoiding him today." John said
"She was avoiding him." Amanda said
"Why?" John asked
"She heard about what he did with Amy and how it pissed me off and then how bad it hurt me to be mad at him so she was afraid that if she dated him and then they broke up and it would be awkward to be around me with him there and she was afraid that I wouldn't want to talk to her anymore." Amanda said
"But you know your bother, if something were to happen then you would know that Michelle was probably telling you the truth and you would probably just get mad at your brother again." John said
"Yeah and I think that is another thing that scared her, because she didn't want to be the reason I was mad at him again." Amanda said
"Aww look at the love birds standing here conversing." Adam said as he and Michelle walked up
"Oh shut up, are you ready to go to bed now, because I am really tired." Amanda said
"Yeah I'll see you in the morning boys." Michelle said walking into the bedroom that she was sharing with Amanda
"Okay see you guys in the morning." Adam said walking into he and John's room
"Aww they left us alone again." Amanda said looking at the two open doors
"You're not alone, get in this room right now and go to sleep." Michelle yelled through the door
"Yes ma'am." Amanda yelled back and then reached up to kiss John and then walked into the room and shut the door
