I Put A Spell On You

12: Distance

It had happened. Amelia had freaked out over Link's god she didn't even know what to call it room. It scared her and she left.

When trying to get into contact with him after that night her phone would always bounce.

"You've reached the number of Atticus Lincoln. I'm not available to speak at the moment. Leave a message and I'll respond at a later time." His voice would say every single time she called.

"So what ever happened. He showed you the sex dungeon thing and you just left?" Arizona asked sitting on the couch with Amelia.

"Yes and now he won't answer so." Amelia sighed throwing her phone onto the coffee table.

"So we're you dating or what even were you?" Arizona asked as she clicked the remote flipping through channels.

"I'm not sure. But he's somewhere across the world ignoring my calls." Amelia said in annoyance.

"Well you don't own him and don't have labels so technically and sadly he can do what he wants." Arizona weighed in.

"I know. I just wonder what's he doing and where he is." Amelia said.

"I know you do. I would wonder to." Arizona said pulling her hair into a ponytail.

"You think he's sleeping with someone else?" Amelia asked after brief silence.

"I wouldn't know. You don't own him and there's no labels so I have no idea." Arizona shrugged.

"I'm calling him again. I'll be right back." Amelia said as she walked out to the porch.

"Hello?" Atticus voice answered after a few seconds of the dial tone playing.

"Where are you, I thought you died." Amelia exclaimed- no she didn't. She didn't think he died. She just wanted dramatic effect.

"I was on a plane. What do you need?" Atticus asked.

"I was just calling to see if you'd answer." Amelia admitted shyly.

"I'm sorry I didn't answer before." Atticus apologized.

"I'm sorry I left it took me by surprise." Amelia said.

"No Im sorry. I shouldn't have shown you. I'm sorry if it made you think less of me." Atticus said.

Amelia felt bad. Atticus felt bad. He knew he scared her. She knew she hurt him by walking away.

"I'm sorry for walking away." Amelia sighed.

"No Im sorry for giving you a reason to." Atticus countered her apology.

"How about when we get home, we try again?" Amelia offered.

"Did you not see what was in the driveway, that was peace offering also sorry for being a creep gift." Atticus said in a confused tone.

"What no?" Amelia asked.

"At your brothers, I do have the right address I hope." Atticus said all confused.

"Oh then I'll check when I get home. But I'm going to go, I'll see you when you get back." Amelia blushed.

"Bye Ms. Shepherd." Atticus said kindly.

"Bye." Amelia smiled.

"Amy there's a car in the driveway blocking our way out so can you move it?" Derek asked from the counter when Amelia walked through the door.

"My car is in the grass." Amelia said confused.

"No there's a brand new car in the driveway." Meredith looked up from the food she was cutting.

"What kind was it?" Amelia asked setting her keys into the dish.

"A Cadillac XT6, and it must be brand new." Derek added.

"I'll go look." Amelia said as she walked back out the driveway.

Derek was right. In their driveway sat a charcoal grey, Cadillac XT6. The closer Amelia walked she noticed the envelope with her name written in cursive.

I'm sorry if I made you think less of me. I hope this doesn't end things. I'd like to see you again, if you'll allow it. Until then, think of me when you drive your new car. (It has a full tank of gas also)

"Wow Amy. The man gave you a $52,000 car as a gift." Derek laughed as he walked around the car.

"Yeah he did." Amelia said, because we all know she wasn't going to dare tell Derek what was in his penthouse aka the reason for the car.

"Can I drive it?" Derek asked as he touched the handle.

"If you can find the keys. What year is this thing?" Amelia asked as she looked up and down the exterior.

"I'm betting on as new as they come. 2021? What do you think Mer?" Derek asked as he opened the door and pulled the car keys out.

"I'd say brand new too." Meredith chuckled.

"Actually I take back my offer, you're not driving my new car. Not until I get to first." Amelia smirked taking the keys out of Derek's hand and walking back in the house.

Amelia: Thank you for my "gift" it's beautiful.

Atticus: Always, I hope it makes up for everything.

Amelia: Our conversation was enough. But thank you again.

Atticus: Anytime.

As Amelia read his texts and pictured his voice- the butterflies were back.

A/N: So sorry for the delay, it's been very busy this weekend and today but I have chapters for you guys everyday of this week, and if there's something you'd like me to include send me a message <3
