Chapter 7:
'What happened last night?' I asked myself while making me a cup of coffee; I spent the whole morning trying to figure out what I feel, because Amanda is making me feel something really strong, something that is way beyond friendship, I thin I love her, this is too complicated, I needed time to think and breath some fresh air, so I grabbed my keys and went to my car. I drove with no direction for a while until I got to a park close to Randi's house. I parked there and went to talk to her.
"Hi Randi" I said.
"Hi sweetie, nice to see you" she said giving me a smile that made me feel warm inside.
"Yeah, I needed some fresh air" I said, staring at the floor.
"What's wrong?" she asked softly, still smiling.
"Nothing" I said to my sleeve.
"Yeah, right" she mocked "you can't fool me" she smirked.
"Ok, you win, as always" I laughed softly, she chuckled softly.
"Come on, you can tell me" she said hugging me.
"It's Amanda" I said.
"Did something happen" I didn't understand the meaning of the question.
"I don't know" I said with my head down.
"What did you two kids do?" she asked with the hint of a horror look on her face.
"Well, we got wasted" I stopped for a minute but then I continued "and we kissed"
She didn't say anything, she just stood there like a statue, I didn't move either, expecting her to say something, a minute passed, then two and three and we were still there staring at each other, her face had a worried look and I don't want to imagine mine. "I have to go" I said after, not knowing what to do. I got up and went to my car. I sat there and stare at the windshield.
I went back home, lock myself in my room and closed the windows to crawl into my bed. I closed my eyes tight and tried to sleep.
When I opened my eyes my room was dark, I only saw a part of the poster on the wall, lighted by the beam of moonlight entering through the window. I saw my clock on the wall, it was eleven pm. I got up and went to the kitchen, looking for something to eat when someone knocked the door. A de jà vu feeling invaded me. I opened the door and Amanda was there, at that point I hadn't realized that it was raining. She was all wet, like the night I met her. I let her in and she went straight to crash on the couch. I sat on the other couch and stood there, waiting for her to say something.
"Hello Frank" she said, she was shivering.
"Hi Amanda" I said.
"I-I don't re-really know wh-wh-what I'm doing here" she stammered.
"Well, you can stay if you like" I said softly.
"Thanks" she said, she sounded sincere.
"The bathroom is right over there" I said pointing to the bathroom door.
"Thank you so much" she said getting up and going to the bathroom.
She took a shower and I borrow her some clothes, she slept in my room, and I slept on the couch, but I didn't mind.
When I woke up she was sitting on the floor, watching me sleep and drinking a cup of coffee. She seemed happy, her expression contrasted with the sad and grey day outside.
