OBSESSION 🦋On Hold🦋

Chapter 25

          Amy returned home after some days at the hospital. Her head had been bandaged and she walked tiredly. The doctors had advised that she rest more and should be given special care as the injury to her head would make her more emotional, dizzy, less critical in thinking, irritable, anxious and she may or may not have trouble sleeping.

              After William brought her home, she went upstairs to her room and didn't come out afterwards.

She was angry at her mother.

William spent most of his time in their house as he was the only person she'd talk to. He brought her meal to her in her bedroom when it was time to eat and when she was done, he'd stay there and keep her company until she fell asleep.

It looked as though he was now living in their house. He and Jane hardly said a word to eachother and he tried his best to stay away from her.

        After some weeks, Amy went back to school. She finally met her friends, but she couldn't inform them of what had happened to her. She feared that they would not say nice things about her mother.

"So Mr. Rakes lives with you ehy?" Kayla teased, poking her with her elbow.

Amy giggled, "stop." She said.

"So is he like, your dad now?" Nigel asked.

"No he's not. He can't be my dad."

"Why not?"

"Because......." Amy paused.

"Because you have a crush on your teacher." Pete completed.

"No I don't?" Amy said, "I just like him."

"Same thing." Kayla shrugged.

         At the close of school, William picked Amy up and went with her to the house.

When, they reached home, Jane was there, looking beautiful in a straight flare dress, a beautiful smile and her hair tucked behind her ear revealing her beautiful eyes.

"Good to have you home!" She said, smiling at Amy who frowned. She walked past her and walked straight up to her room.

Jane swallowed hard, looking at William who looked away from her.

"I deserve a chance, don't I?"

"Yes you do but not after what you did."

"William, really? She is only ten for Christ's sake. Does a ten year old, treat her mother like this?"

"Well, you should know Amy is not a regular ten year old. As a matter of fact, I think she acts more mature than the woman who gave birth to her." 

"Ha, ha, ha, very funny William, very funny."

          It was soon evening and William wanted to take his leave. He went up to Amy's room to bid her farewell and after he was done, he went downstairs and readied himself to leave.

"Thanks again." Jane said.

"Anytime," William spoke, "I'd have to............."

"I'm sorry! I shouldn't have." Jane cut in.

"Jane........"

"I got carried away. I didn't.... want you to........"

William suddenly kissed her.

"William," She whispered, but he kept on, making her kiss him back.

They kissed each other intensely, looking as though they had been waiting for this moment all their life. They continued to kiss until they heard a sound behind them.
