The Girl With The Green Eyes

Chapter 13 Let The Trials Begin

Amelia

Fuck this is so bad! I didn't even have time to be embarrassed being caught by mama. I was freaking out! Mama looked furious! This is bad! This is so bad! She looks like she's going to explode any minute now!

Mama turned around while we both put our clothes back on. Fuck! What are we going to do now?!

I could tell Blake was freaking out. She was a nervous wreck right now and her hands wouldn't stop shaking. I needed to put my own worries aside and comfort her.

"Hey baby" I say walking up to her and placing both my hands in hers to stop them from shaking. "It's going to be okay. We just have to go out there and talk to her. I'll explain everything to her and it will be fine" I say smiling at her to ease some of the tension

"Babe no. Did you see her face? She's going to kill me. Aves was right. She's going to stab me" she says nervously

"She can't. She won't. I won't let her, okay? I love you baby. We are in this together. I will be right next to you the whole time" I say trying to calm her nerves

"Maybe I should make a run for it now. I should go back to Auckland. Can I borrow your car? No you need your car. I'll take the swift" she says trying to pull away

"Baby" I say not letting her go and pulling her into me, my arms wrapped around her neck. "Don't go. It's going to be okay. Let's just give her a minute to calm down and then we can face her together. I love you okay? Nothing's going to change that" I say tangling my fingers into the hair at the back of her neck

"Promise?" She asks

"I promise baby"

"I love you too" she says, pecking my lips and resting her forehead on mine. Her arms wrapped around my waist

I turned to look outside to see Anj talking to mama and pulling her back towards the house. Hopefully she would help calm mama down. Blake and I stood wrapped up in each other's arms finding comfort in each other. I know mama is super angry right now but I would not let Blake go no matter what. Mama would just have to accept it even if she didn't like it. She would have to put her feelings aside and allow me to be happy just as I had done for her all those years ago.

Five minutes later we heard a gentle knock on the door.

"Honey, it's me" Anj says "Jay would like to speak to you both. Could you please come up now?" She asks gently

This was it. It was time for us to face mama. I gave Blake one last gentle peck on her cheek and held her hand as I opened the door.

"It will be okay. I'll be right there with you both. She's just in shock but hopefully her anger has subsided now" Anj says smiling at us both before leading us up the stairs where Mama sat on the couch waiting for us with a grim expression on her face.

Anj sat next to her and placed her hand on her thigh as Blake and I stood hand in hand in front of her. Her eyes zeroed in on our intertwined fingers.

"How long has this been going on?" She asks. Her tone slightly angry

"Um, since a little before the week we came here for mid semester break" I say nervously, holding tightly onto Blakes hand.

"So you've been banging my daughter behind my back for almost 3 months now?" Jay asks Blake angrily

"Mama!"

"Jay!" Anj and I chastise at the same time.

"When were you going to tell me Blake? Huh?" She asks, the anger in her clearly simmering to boiling point now. "When were you going to tell me you were messing around with my daughter?! And don't you dare lie to me Blake!"
