"So do you love her?" A feminine voice asked me as I did another rep on the pull up bar in the weight room. I dropped down from the bar, meeting with curious crimson eyes, the dead silence of her awaiting my answer filled the room.
"Why do you want to know?" I asked her, grabbing a towel to wipe the minimal amount of sweat I had on my shirtless body. When I lost my forearm, I was thrown into a depression, neglecting my needs and physical health. One therapy session later I was in the gym almost every day, if only so I could get my mental and physical health back. But, back to the situation at hand.
"I'm supposed to be helping aren't I? Doing something useful than just stare at your very delectable body." I turned and chuckled, throwing on a sleeveless T-shirt, much to the slight disappointment of my guest.
"And what if I did Amanda, then what?" I told her with a slight sarcasm. Amanda Harris, the apparent "whore" or "slut" in the school, gave me a warm smile, took my real hand into hers and held me close.
The hug, while extremely comfortable, was unnerving. This was the same woman who Jake had cheated on Liz with. But my opinion of my long time friend had changed in the last few days since Elizabeth's "Step One".
Years ago, Amanda was my first friend since our eyes had met. Throughout the years we got closer, to the point where most people thought we were dating, we almost started dating if not for the death of her father.
However, everything changed the one year I wasn't with her, when she skipped 8th grade into her freshman year. The next time I saw her, she had transformed into the bombshell she was today. Seeing the popularity of my oldest friend, I hung back and stuck with Dylan, Ashley, and Liz.
While they knew who Amanda was, none of them really liked to associate with the black haired beauty.
The whole thing about her sleeping with anything that moved was another thing I had to get out of my head since we caught up.
Did she go out with a lot of guys, yes, but she hadn't really done anything really intimate with any of the people she went out with, unless a few make out sessions were considered equal to sex.
Honestly, her forward behavior and give no shits attitude were the main things that helped the rumor take place as a fact instead of fiction. But back to the point, I sat down on a bench press with Amanda following suit.
Sighing, I shook my head and rested it on her lap, a childish habit I had acquired during our younger years. "I don't know what to do Nada," I sighed as she caressed my scalp and messed with the black hair on my head. "I love her more than I should, and this entire thing with Jake is just killing from the inside." I felt her nod and take my right hand again, the exact opposite of what Liz did. Either way, she pulled the both of us up and dragged me out of the weight room.
"I assume you want to know where we're going?" I just looked at her with a blank look on my face. "Well, you're coming home with me, one way or another for old times stake." I smiled before seeing a very good looking Elizabeth walking over to Hudson down the hall. I began to feel the dread and anger of jealousy creep into my heart.
I walked closer and my fists tightened, seeing Jake hold Liz in such an intimate way, with the most casual display of affection made my blood boil. Well, it did until Amanda's head slammed into my chest interrupting my thoughts. I looked down, saw her eyes, and nodded.
In less than 20 minutes we were at Ms. Harris' humble abode, laying on the black haired girl's bed watching a simple comedy on Netflix. "This is nice, us together again like the good o'l days." Amanda giggled and snuggled up closer.
"It is nice if I do say so myself, but then again we should get some shut eye for school tomorrow genius." Watching her yawn, I turned off the T.V and took off my over shirt. 'It seems our connection is still as strong as ever huh Amanda?' I thought, the lights turning out ever so quickly.
What I didn't expect was the small and quiet, "I love you Geoff", murmured by the drowsy red eyed teenager. Why oh why did my life need to be so complicated?
