Ice and Fire
Chapter 5
AMY POV
We drive off and I sit an listen to her sing. "Wow, you can sing," I said in awe. "Thanks," she throws me a shy smile. "Do you sing professionally?" She lets out a laugh, "No but one day I hope so." "Why not now? I mean you are a music producer. Why not produce your music?" "It's not that easy. It would be a lot of work since I already have a lot of clients but maybe one day I'll find the time to do it," she smiles at me and looks down at our hands for a brief moment. Something flashed in her eyes but couldn't tell what it was. I didn't want to ask so I let it go.
We arrive at the theater. We end up watching a romcom. I get the tickets, she gets the popcorn and drinks. "Do you just want to get a large coke? I mean I don't want to have whole cup to myself. I promise I don't have germs," she beams a cute smile. "I don't Mind at all," I said with a smirk.
We get in the theater and we sit all the way in the back. The movie quickly starts and I'm not very interested in it. I'm just so interested in her reaction. "You're staring," she said without looking at me. I don't know where this comes from but I say," I know." This seems to get her attention. She turns to look at me and if the lights weren't off, I bet she was blushing. "You're cute," she said, surprising me. I feel like we are always trying to up one another. I like it. "Watch the movie, you dork," she said laughing. I just give her a smile and turn away. We hold hands the entire time and steal glances at one another. It just feels right.
We walk out the movie laughing. All of the sudden I hear,"Amy! Is that you?!" Oh great. I can tell who it is. I put on my best fake smile. "Hey Jessica. How are you?" "I'm good just out for a movie night and you? Who's this?" She said staring at Karma. I don't know what came over me but I put my arm around Karma's waist, "this is Karma, karma this is Jessica." They shake hands and polite 'nice to meet you's'. I still have my grip around karma's waist and I could see Jessica staring.
KARMA POV
I don't know who this girl is but I'm not getting a very good vibe off of her. I can feel Amy grip on my waist tighten a little so I lean my head on her shoulder and grab her hip around her back. I like this. She makes me feel wanted and warm and all sorts of places.
"We have to catch up soon. How about I give you a call and we can set something up?" "Sure but I'm a busy woman," Amy said and I can feel her vibration when she talks on my head it's my new favorite feeling. I didn't know I had my eyes closed when I hear, "well it was nice seeing you, Amy. Nice to meet you too, Karma." "Nice meeting you too, Jessica." She walks off but not before throwing a wink at Amy. I looked at Amy trying to read her expression but nothing. She was unreadable. "What's wrong?" I asked turning to look at her. "Nothing, let's get out of here okay?" "Okay."
"Do you want to get some ice cream?" "Amy, one thing you need to know about me is that I NEVER turn down ice cream. Even if I'm sick or its -60 outside. I love it so much." She throws me a toothy smile and says,"well, seems like we'll be having s lot of ice cream together then because I love it!" We head to cold stone. We order and we didn't want to sit inside so we head outside and walk. We walked to the park nearby. It all seems like a movie. The way the moonlight hits us. The way we can still see in this darkness. They way we occasionally bump our shoulders while we eat our ice cream. It's perfect.
"So, Amy, let me ask you something," I start and she nods indicating me to go on. "Why are you a pediatrician?" She ponders and puts her spoon on her chin, "Well, ever since I was little, I had the need to help people. And when I was in high school, my older cousins were having babies and I would babysit them for money but I just loved being that person who would fix them if they got hurt you know? I learned to love children so much, it's insane. I love them all," she laughs and I join her. "Can I ask you something else? But you don't have to answer if you don't to." "Sure." "Who was that girl back there?" I asked her and she seemed a little uncomfortable. "I will let you know in time. Just not today okay?" I could see some sadness in the way she said that but I barely know her so I can't be persistent. I simply nod. "So let me ask you something, Karma." "Okay, shoot." "Is this your real hair color or did you dye it? It's beautiful." God, she sure knows how to make a girl blush. I slap her on the arm slightly. "You may never know." I tried to say in a cheery voice but it came out a little more sexy than I anticipated. She looks at me and than looks down at her hand and I look at mine. I see little droplets. "Seems like it's time to go home don't you think?" I nod in agreement. We hurry to her car. The droplets were getting bigger and heavier.
AMY POV
We rush in my car and the rain was getting heavier. I start the car and quickly put on the heater. "I hope you don't get hypothermia." "Well if I do, I know the doctor to contact," she said winking at me. I wink right back and there's a moment where we just look at each other. It's a brief moment but I think that's the moment I probably fell in love with the red headed woman. I don't want to admit it but everything about he'd makes me feel alive. We barely met but she makes me want to spend the rest of my life with her. God she's driving me crazy.
I put the car in drive and we are off. My windshield wipers are going fast. I can barely see but I know I'm a good driver. Always been. Always will be. No tickets and no accident. I have a clean driving record.
I look over at karma as I'm driving through the slippery streets. She has a worried look on her face and can't help but ask, "Are you scared?" "I.. I..no." She replied in a small voice. "What's wrong?" "I just.. It's not that I'm scared, is that, I don't want to crash or anything. It's more of a 'worry' not a 'fear' feeling, ya know?" "Why are you worried," I asked as I grabbed her hand in my. She shrugs. "You're in good hands, Karma. I'm a great driver and I promise I'll get you home safe. I won't let anything happen to you." She looks at me and gives a small smile but a smile nonetheless.
I focus on my driving. We did skid on the wet pavement which cause karma to gasp a little. I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. I saw her relax more into the seat.
We arrived at her house and I put the car in parking and cut off the engine. I turn to look at her, "are you sure you're alright?" There's a moment of silence and we can only hear the pounding rain on the roof of my car.
KARMA POV
I open and close my mouth. No words seem to come out. She holds my hand with both of her hands now and gives me a gentle squeeze. I sigh,"well, this is just really hard for me. I've never done this and I don't know how to do it. I don't know how to go about this but I like it. I like it a lot and.. I'm rambling aren't I?" God I feel so stupid right now. What the hell did I even say. "It's cute. How about I walk you to your door?" Now I'm blushing and very excited for a small walk to my door.
Amy grabs an umbrella from the back seat. "Stay here, I'll go to your door." I can see her running in front of the car with the umbrella propped open. She opens my door, "The rain is way wetter than ya think," she says with a small laugh which causes me to laugh a little. What a dork. "M'lady," she give me her hand and I don't hesitate to take it. We are totally getting wet but it's worth it.
We arrived at my door and our teeth are chattering. "It was nice going to the movies with you, miss Ashcroft." "Thank you for taking me out, doctor raudenfeld," I tried to flirt but I was freezing. We give each other a tight embrace and pull away. We look each other in the eye and we have a moment. There's been a lot of those lately. The sound of the rain fades away and it's just Amy and I and no one else. She's about to lean in when the door flings open and we both jump back.
"Hey there Karma!"
"Hey, Liam."
