Ice and Fire
Chapter 6
AMY POV
Who's Liam? What the hell just happened? I stayed there frozen and watch the interact. My mind is racing. Was this a date or a friendly hangout? I barely know this girl. For all I know, she could be married and having an affair and I'm the mistress. For all I know, this could all be platonic. My heart keeps racing and I'm still frozen in shock. My heart is starting to hurt because of all this possibilities.
KARMA POV
"Hey Liam. What are you doing here?" "Well I tried to call you but the phone kept going to voicemail. I was by your house and I was told to find shelter since the storm is getting pretty bad. So now, here I am. I hope you don't mind. I'll wait for you inside and let you finish." He throws me a wink. I'm so embarrassed right now.
I looked at Amy who still has a grip on my waist in one hand and the other on the umbrella. She looks like she just saw a ghost. "Are you okay?" She nods. "Amy, you're freezing! Let's go inside." "I'll probably should go home." "Amy, don't be ridiculous. You're drenched and you shouldn't be driving in this weather." "Fine, but if I'm staying, you have to let me drink something warm and give me warm clothes," she said as we walked in. We took off our shoes and coats. "Don't worry, you're in good hands," I smile at her and we head to the kitchen.
"I call one of the guest rooms!" I hear Shane yell out as we near the kitchen. "Mommy! It's scary outside," Rachel came running to me. I picked her up. I've missed my little one. "I know, sweetie, that's why Shane Liam and Amy are staying over." "Like a big sleepover?" She asked beaming with joy. "Yes, just like a sleepover. Now go get ready for bed and I'll bring up some hot chocolate." She nods and runs upstairs.
"Shane do you mind making us all hot chocolate? I need to get out of these wet clothes and so does Amy." "Okay I will. Now hurry before you get sick and have me do all the work come Monday!" I grab Amy and we head to my room.
"What do you want to wear," I asked Amy while I'm looking through my drawers for my pajamas. "Anything really, I'm not picky at all," she said looking around my room taking it in. "Alright then, here are some sweats and a long sleeve. Let me know if you need anything warmer."
"What a hell of a first date," I hear Amy say in a low voice. "So this was a date huh?" She opens her eyes wide and stutters out, "Well, if..if you don't want to call it that then we don't have to." "I believe it was a date, raudenfeld," I said getting closer to her, "wouldn't you agree?" "Mmhmm," that's all she manages to say. I quickly pull off my damped dress and I see her staring. I turn around and get my dry shirt over. She's too easy to make blush. "Get out of those wet clothes before you get sick," I said pulling on my sweats. She does as I say. I watched her get changed in front of me. "You're staring." "Amy, can you blame me?" Now she was a bright tomato. God, she's too easy. I grab her hand and we head downstairs.
"Look guys, there's a big storm coming in and it'll last till tomorrow," Shane said pointing at the tv. I look at everyone,"well you are all welcome to stay, mi casa es su casa." Everyone starts laughing and I immediately am happy that I'm surrounded by these guys at this very moment.
"I don't think we've met," Liam said towards Amy, "my name is Liam, what's your name?" "Amy." They shook hands. "Nice to meet you," Liam said with a wink. I couldn't help but get a little angry but I composed myself.
AMY POV
Ew. Who does this guy think he is. Didn't he just catch karma and I about to kiss? "So Amy, why haven't I seen you before?" "I.." I was cut off by Shane, "Liam, please stop flirting with the poor girl, she's obviously not into you and she's obviously taken," pointing at Karma and I. I turned to karma and I could see she's blushing. As am I. "Sorry Amy. Where are my manners. This is Liam. My annoying brother. Well half brother. But brother nonetheless. Please, let me know if he makes your stay uncomfortable." I can't help but to be relieved. I was imagining the worse. If this douche was karmas ex or Rachel's dad. That wouldn't have been a very nice first meeting. I nod at Karma and Shane distributes the drinks. Rachel comes running in the kitchen where we've been all sitting around the island.
"Amy, are you going to color with me?" Rachel asked as she sat next me. "Of course! What are we coloring today?" "A lot of castles and princesses!" "Sounds like a lot of fun!" I grab some crayons and start coloring next to her. I was actually really focused on coloring. I could here the other guys talking but I ignored them. I felt kind of awkward siting there. I felt like I was intruding. I was thankful that Rachel welcomed me into her imaginary world were everything is okay. We both got lost for a while.
"Okay it's time to go to sleep everyone!" I here karma yell out and Rachel and I just look at each other and whine. "Why mommy? Its Saturday!" "Honey, you're hanging out with your dad tomorrow morning. It will be a good idea if you slept a little so you have energy to play with him tomorrow." Rachel grunts but immediately obeys. "I'll be up in a bit to tuck you in." Karma takes a look at the rest of us. "Okay, sleeping arrangements. I only have two guest rooms so one of you will have to sleep with me a.." Shane and Liam cut her off,"I call a guest room," they both said in unison. "Okay, well that's settled, blondy you're coming with me." She winked at me and I swallowed hard. She grabbed a hold of my hand and we were off up the stairs. This night didn't go as I expected as it would go. It has exceeded my expectations.
We briefly stopped my Rachel's room. Karma tucked her in and gave a kiss goodnight. I couldn't help myself but also give a small hug to Rachel and kiss on the forehead. She graves my head and kissed my forehead too. We shut the door and walked over to Karma's room. I'm not going to lie, I was nervous. I'm not expecting anything to happen but what if something does happen? What then?
KARMA POV
I turn to look at Amy. She looks so nervous. "Don't worry, I don't bite," I smirked at her and broke her from her trance. She looks at me and says, "Since you did agree it was a first date, I think this is wildly inappropriate to do on a first date." "Relax, Amy. We are both adults. We have self control don't we? We don't have to do anything. I just don't want you to sleep on the couch okay?" "I have self control, the question is, do you?" Amy said in a low voice that I almost couldn't make out what it was. It made me instantly blush. I let it go and didn't reply. Amy broke the silence and said, "I call the left side of the bed. It's my favorite." "That's fine because the right side is my favorite!" We are so made for each other.
We turn off the lights and tuck ourselves in. "Can I ask you a question," Amy said turning to look at me with her head held by the palm of her hand on a propped elbow. I nod. "Soo, you don't kiss on a first date?" I didn't answer right away but what I did was pull her and gave her a gentle kiss. I pulled away and said, "I do." And with that, she leaned in again. We kissed passionately. My hand was on her neck pulling her closer. Her hands were on my waist with a tight grip. My heart was racing. This is probably the best feeling in the world. Fireworks were going off behind my eyelids. The moment was amazing. We both are breathing heavily. I pulled away and smiled as I saw her with her eyes closed. "Woah," she whispered and opened her eyes. "I know," I said while giving her a small peck. "We have to go to sleep," I said turning around. This time, I grabbed her hands and wrapped them around me. "I don't know how I'm going to get some sleep after that," Amy laughed a little. "Me either," I said in a whisper. I could feel her breathing on my neck. I was dozing off and the last thing I heard from her was, "What a hell of a first date." I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
