The Confusing Thing About Relationships

18

It's been two weeks since Knuckles and Rouge made their godparents announcement and both Amy and Shadow had the day ahead of them.

But so far.... Shadow wasn't letting Amy go so easily.

"Mm~ Shadow, I'm gonna be late" Amy was sitting on Shadow's lap facing him. They had just finished their breakfast and were on the couch.

Shadow was letting his hands roam around her body. "Just a few more minutes~ I won't be seeing you all day after all"

"You act as if I'm going away for a long time, we're going to see each other when I get off work"

"Yeah for probably less than an hour before we both have to leave, still can't believe you convinced me to sign up for that cooking class"

"You said you wanted to learn and I didn't exactly try to convince you, I just handed you the flyer"

"Yeah, while naked. You knew what you were doing"

"Perhaps~" she teased, Shadow smirked before cupping both of her cheeks and pulled her down for a deep kiss. "Mm~ come on Shadow, I have to get going"

"Just call in, it's not like Vanilla would get mad at you"

"I can't just call in at the last minute"

"Then say that you're going to be a little late"

"And how long is "a little" ?" She crossed her arms.

"Two hours"

"No way, too long"

"An hour and a half?"

"Nuh uh"

"An hour"

".... Fine, one hour" Shadow had a smug face as he handed Amy her phone.

Vanilla was currently in the kitchen of her bakery preparing to make a few batches of muffins but was interrupted by Amy calling her.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Vanilla, I'm so sorry about the late notice but I'm going to be a bit late, my...um... uniform is still drying and it's going to be another hour, I'm so sorry"

"Oh don't worry Amy dear, I understand"

"Thank you Vanilla, I'll be there as soon as I can"

"Alright dear, I'll see you soon"

Assuming that Amy had already hung up- Vanilla was about to put her phone away but then she heard Amy's voice again. She put her phone up to her ear to see if Amy was still trying to talk to her.

"There, now we only have one hour, so make it count"

"Oh, I plan to"

Vanilla's eyes widened as she heard another voice, a familiar voice. Then she heard shuffling followed by Amy's giggles.

"Shadow, you know that tickles"

"But you love it and I love doing it~"

Soon Vanilla could hear lips smacking that soon turned into muffled moans.

Vanilla let out a sharp gasp before immediately hanging up the call.

"Oh my.... It all makes sense now"

Vanilla started to look back and began to connect the dots.

'That's why she always insisted on cooking his food and making his coffee, and why she would always step out with him to say bye just to come back with a flustered face....'
