Ladyfingers (Chap 18)

Amaya pov:

Walking in the rain sucks. Milly went home early to change but I'm stuck here bored out of my mind.

Rain pours down on my bag as I run towards the library building with shelter. As I get there I notice a suspicious sign and squint my eyes.

You gotta be kidding me. The librarian left to get lunch so now I'm stuck out here. This sucks.

I sit on the step and have a strange de ja vu that I remember doing this before when Dexter and I first met.

A smile comes onto my face before the slight butterflies when I remember earlier. I mean who does he think he is kissing me like that? In front of everyone no less?

I feel my face go hot just thinking about it and lean back, irritated. He really knows how to get under my skin so now I can't stop thinking about him.

Its become normal now for me to randomly expect to see Dexter this week. Well, for tutoring but also, I can't really remember the time when I didn't know him now.

Urghh, it makes my head muddled and I hate thinking too hard. This is why relationships are hard to deal with because you're constantly overthinking.

Wait...but are we even in a relationship? What even are we? We're friends but it's more than that. Yet we're not actually a couple.

Damn it this is too-

"Hello, are you Amaya?" A silky voice breaks me out of my thoughts.

I lift my head and take off my hoodie to see the person better. It was a blonde lady who looks roughly 30. She had tight curls and bright red lipstick wearing a tight dress which overemphasis her curves showing the push up bra she has.

"Can I help you?" I peer up at her, trying to look at her face rather than her obviously indecent exposure of her body while it's raining.

"I'm Dexter's girlfriend," she smiles showing pearly white teeth.

Ok. Did I listen to music too loud that I'm mishearing things?

Did this 30 year old woman really say that she's Dexters girlfriend?

"I know you must think my age is weird but we truly do love each other. He's had a soft spot for me ever since we met at his high school," she laughs, as if reading my mind.

Ok....WHAT? They met when he was in high school?? This whole situation is really icky.

I shift slightly to try and brush off this gnawing feeling in my stomach.

"Right...well what do you what with me?" I tilt my head at her.

Her green eyes gleam at me and I try not to notice how her mascara is slightly smudged.

"Listen here, sweetheart. I know it must be crazy that a 37 year old woman is saying this but it's true. Anyway I would like to make a deal,"

"Wait you're 37??" I look at her shocked and I see her smile tighten as she sits down beside me, her dress hiking up almost to her hip that anyone walking by could see her underwear.

I try not to wrinkle my nose in disgust and look at her face while she sits by me.

"Don't worry about that. I'll make you a deal, love. If you let me have Dexter than I will let you keep Luke,"

My face twists into confusion and dread seeps into me, as I start to fiddle with the zip of my coat.

"What do you mean?" I frown.

"Who do you think is Lukes birth mother?" She smiles at me, her eyes all beady, roaming around my expression.

Shit....she is Luke's birth mother??!! That means that they had a kid!!

He was 19 when she was 34 when Luke was born? I feel disgust running through my veins as I watch her while she does the same.

"Listen, when Dexter and I get back together you can take Luke. I was planning on giving him up for adoption earlier but instead I will give him to you,"

"What the hell is in it for me? I will literally take in a child?!" I scowl at her.

Obviously, I will never agree to this and Dexter would rather die than let anything happen to him.

"Don't worry, Dexter can come over and visit Luke. That way you can see him once a month and we will both be happy,"

"Wait what? But what about Dexter opinion on this?"

"Dexter is just confused. It was all because I gave birth to that little shit, Luke, but now it's all gonna work out. Good deal ey?" She waves me off, laughing.

"How can you say that about your own son?" I clench my teeth together. Who the hell does she think she is?

"He came from me, yes. Having him was supposed to strengthen Dexter and I's bond together. Instead it broke us apart and he cares about the creature more than me. But that's why you can take Luke so at least Dexter will be satisfied and then you can see him as well. And I have Dexter. Its a win win deal,"

I look at her in disbelief. She is actually one crazy motherfucker. I know why Dexter wanted to leave her.

"I will absolutely not agree to-"

"Shhhh," she leans forward to put her hand on my lips but I recoil and she rolls her eyes.

"Its peace and quiet. If you want it to stay that way then I suggest you think about the deal. If you reject the deal then I will have Dexter anyway and sell Luke away,"

Anger boils in my head and I dig my hands into my palms to refrain myself from slapping her.

"Think about it, pretty girl. Because I am a very powerful woman. And I keep tabs on everything."

I go to say something but she stands up and shoots me a grin before heading towards a slick black car.

"I will see you soon, pretty. But chose wisely because I will do this with or without you,"

She blows me a kiss and I try to refrain from gagging.

As soon as the car drives by I dial Dexters number.

He's got a lot to explain about. And I don't wanna get into drama but I guess I am against my choice. It better all brush over soon.
