When I met you

Him - Chapter 26

The next morning, I took Amanda to her house early and waited for her to get ready for school. Once she was ready, she wanted to show me the empty room she commented on when she was at home:

"What do you think?"

"It's perfect!"

It was a big room, in a part of the house that I did not know. With a huge window that looked to the back of the house - overlooking that beautiful area.

"I have a drawing table at home that I never use, I can bring it here. And also the drawing materials. I'm going to start sorting things out tonight."

Mandy hugged me and said:

"We can split the time: half here, half in your house."

"I think I'll have to bring other things of mine too."

"I'll leave you some closet space."

"Excellent. Now we have to go or you'll be late."

"OK. But I want you to kiss me first."

"Have you confirmed dinner with Lilian yet?"

"Yesterday, when I got home."

"And have you got an answer about the drawings yet?"

"Not yet, but I'll have until Friday, before dinner."

"OK. I'm going to work at home these days and I want you there with me."

"I need to organize some things at home, I can go later and we have dinner together."

"I'm coming to get you."

"Now I need to enter, the students must already be in the classroom."

As soon as Amanda entered school, I went to the supermarket and then went to the bookstore, I needed to buy some books and some magazines.

"Good morning."

"Good morning! How can I help?"

"I'm looking for some drawing books."

"Anything specific?"

"Not exactly. And I'd also like some drawing magazines, too."

"The drawing section is behind this bookcase on your right."

"Thank you."

"You're Dylan, aren't you?"

"Yep."

"My name's Susan Parker. I'm Ethan's mother, Amanda's student."

I gave her a very fake smile and went to the drawing section to look for the books I wanted.

"Sorry to interrupt you, you're dating Amanda, aren't you?"

"I am. Why?"

"Nothing important. It's just that we haven't seen Amanda in a while, and my son said something about it. He misses her very much. In the beginning, they were always together, but now they see each other very little, and she doesn't even come to our house anymore."

"She's been very busy."

"My son talks a lot about her. He likes her very much. I even thought they were going to be together."

"What a pity. These are the books and magazines I'm going to take."

"Over here, please."

I left the bookstore, got in the car, the desire I had was to go to school and take that kid away and slap him as much as I could, get Amanda and leave this place. But in fact, I went to my house and buried myself at work. The day went by very fast, when I looked at the clock it was already 4:30 pm. I took a shower and went to Amanda's house.
