Chapter 10
A week later, Declan and Amanda decide to go out to the boardwalk to go on rides and have some fun. They plan their evening and make plans for that night. The babysitter has agreed to watch Jesse while Amanda and Declan go to the boardwalk.
"I've been wanting to go to the boardwalk for a while now." Amanda says.
"We'll have fun. We'll eat some food, take pictures, go on rides, buy souvenirs or whatever you want, listen to music and we'll play games. I'll pay for everything. Don't worry about paying for yourself." Declan says.
"That's why I love you." Amanda says.
"I love you more than traveling far away to where we don't get to see each other for months." Declan says.
Declan and Amanda lean in for a kiss. Their lips kiss each other while sitting on the couch. Amanda hears a knock on the door and it's the babysitter.
"Hello. I came to watch Jesse while you go out to the boardwalk." The babysitter says.
"Thank you so much. This is a date before the wedding. It's in a few months." Amanda says.
"You will be coming, right?" Declan asks.
The babysitter is surprised that Declan and Amanda want their babysitter to come to their wedding. She doesn't know what to think or say.
"You want me to come to your wedding?" The babysitter asks.
"Yeah. You take care of Jesse for us while we work." Amanda replies.
"I'll think about it." The babysitter says.
"Our family and friends will be there. The people that we work with will be there too." Declan says.
Amanda and Declan leave their apartment to go to the boardwalk. The babysitter comes in to watch baby Jesse. They get in the car and they start driving. They listen to some music in the car on their way to the boardwalk.
A few minutes later, Declan and Amanda arrive at the boardwalk. They see Tony and Christina there too. They meet up to have some fun and take pictures together. Around 6:30 PM, they grab a fresh and hot pizza pie.
"This pizza is good." Christina says.
"It's just like the food at my restaurant." Tony responds.
"I'm glad you guys came too." Amanda says.
"I agree with Amanda." Declan says.
Amanda, Declan, Tony and Christina are having a great time at the boardwalk. They are having fun.
Tony, Christina, Amanda and Declan are playing games at the board walk. They are enjoying the games at the boardwalk. Tony and Christina decide to try the photo booth. Amanda tells them that she and Declan will meet them there.
"I just wanted you to know that I'm having fun." Amanda says.
"Me too." Declan says.
Declan is concerned about Amanda. He wonders if something is bothering her.
"I just hope that Patton doesn't come." Amanda says.
"Relax. I'll make sure you don't see him. Anytime you want to leave, just let me know and we'll go." Declan says.
Amanda is happy to know that if she wants to leave, they'll go home. She is hoping that Patton doesn't approach her again.
"I love you." Declan says.
"Me too." Amanda says.
Patton comes to the boardwalk. Amanda walks away before she sees him. Declan isn't too happy that he came. He walks up to Patton in order to confront him.
"Hey Patton. Hey. You need to get the hell out of here. Amanda is here. I do not want her seeing you. So for once in your life, do the right thing and get the hell out of here." Declan says.
"Why don't you get the hell out?" Patton asks.
"Haven't you put her through enough?" Declan says.
Patton and Declan are not too happy with one another. Tony finds out that Patton came by and he returns to Amanda and Declan with Christina.
"What about what she put me through?" Patton asks.
"What are you talking about?" Declan says.
"Accusing me like she did. Dragging me to court in front of my wife and the whole freaking world." Patton replies.
"So what? You're saying you didn't rape her?" Declan asks.
"Yeah, that's what I'm saying. I had sex with her and trust me. She wanted it." Patton responds.
Declan and Patton start to fight each other. Tony sees Patton and tries to beat him up too. Amanda sees Patton and she wants to leave. Declan comforts Amanda as Christina Tony tells Patton to leave. Declan, Amanda, Tony and Christina leave the boardwalk to go home. They decide to try this another day.
