Some Kind of Trouble

by ZoZo126

Ten years on, and Watts has just given birth to Keith's child. But why does she want to go straight back to work in New York? Alternatively, Amanda feels herself drowning in a controlling relationship. Not allowed to see her two best friends, Susan and Keith, she hasn't even met her Godchild to be, Toyah. How will she escape?

I am just laying the table when Amanda comes back downstairs.

"Takeaway?" I grin at her. She laughs and pokes her tongue out at me.

"You know me so well." I pass her her glass of wine and she takes a long slug of it followed by a loud hiccup which creases the pair of us up. we spend the rest of the night laughing our heads off at old stories about the three of us.

I set up the spare room for her like we used to do every weekend and we have our usual pillow fight (although considerably quieter now.) I can't help but feel that it's different without Suze though...it's almost as if we're flirting with one another.

How strange.

I abruptly end the game and give her a hug goodnight, I turn and quickly leave the room.

Later on, I hear her quietly crying to herself.

Go and comfort her, you know it makes sense. I ignore my thoughts and fall asleep quickly.
