Saved By The One & Only

He shouldn't pretend

Amy's POV:

1 hour later and after having given Mia the tour she 's astonished by the huge upgrade that I've received.

I thank her for the compliments as I keep filling her in on the update with Mr. Anderson that she requested.

Shortly after I asked her about her update with Dr. Hayes. She filled me in on how her and him were scheduled for an upcoming date this Friday.

A knock on the door interrupts her story as I head towards the door and realize that it's Mikayla and Violet at the door. They have bags in their hands.

"We brought clothes to sleep over I hope that's okay?" Mikayla says to me with a sheepish grin.

"Girl! Of course that's okay! Get in here." I say to them as I chuckle. "I guess I'm happy that I filled up on alcohol the weekend prior along with a few chasers." I say to them as they place their bags on the floor by the living room.

"Now that we're all here we can definitely debrief and go over what officially occurred between you and Mr. Anderson." Violet says with a huge grin plastered on her face just as she takes a seat on one of the bar stools intront of the kitchen island.

As I walk around to the fridge and take out the Malibu, chasers and a couple of cups I start to fill them in on what occurred when he showed up at the restaurant earlier.

*****
"That everything." I finish off feeling absolutely drained from this entire conversation.

"Amy I think he's falling for you if he hasn't already!" Violet mentions to me.

"I agree. He's never left a meeting for anything or anyone before. And after everything that he's done for you." Mikayla chimes in.

"I don't care what he's done before me. He's an ass who's only worried about how this looks for him and his company. Granted he has a right to feel that way but he shouldn't pretend half of the time that he's interested in me and that he cares for me.. Anyways I'm sick of talking about this. Mia fill me in on you and Liam or you Mikayla fill me in on you and Josh."

***********
The night went pretty smoothly as we ordered take out, had a couple of drinks and we talked about Josh coming back to work after his mother is finally getting back to good health. We also discussed Liam and Mia's upcoming date. We even discussed what she may wear and where they were going.

I had informed Mikayla that I was going into work tomorrow Tuesday, despite Mr. Anderson not wanting me to go in until Wednesday.

Shortly after we ate our dinner, I showered and laid down to go to sleep, I couldn't help but to feel some sort of way at the fact that he never even reached out to me about the gift that I got him, or how he didn't chase after me when I left him earlier.

Ughh what is wrong with me!!!

This is exactly what I wanted and yet I can't seem to stop thinking about him, I decide to try to shut off my brain for the night.

Soon after I fell into a deep sleep.

**********
I wake up 20 minutes before my alarm goes off and I decide to get up.

I take a quick look at my phone and notice a couple of messages: Mikayla went upstairs to get ready for work and that she would be down here at 8:00am so that we can drive to work together. Violet went home and will meet us at work, and finally Mia, informed me that she went home but that she would be back after I get off from work so that her and I can go together for my checkup with Liam.

I sent her a quick message.

"Now, we BOTH know that you're going just to see Liam ;)."

To which she simply laughed at the message.

I decided to get up and quickly fix my bed and walk into the kitchen to do a quick clean up from last night. I placed the dishes in the dishwasher while I scrubbed the sink and did a quick sweep, vacuum and mopped the kitchen. I felt much better after having cleaned up a bit and decided to hop in the shower to get ready for work.

*******
1 hour later and I'm all dressed up and ready to walk out of the door when I hear a knock at my door.

As I open the door I notice Mikayla's happily standing at the door waiting for me.

"Should we take your car today?!" She asks rather excitedly.

"Yes. That's fine!" I tell her as I go to grab my purse.

"Let's stop to get some coffee first."

**************
35 minutes later and one stop to get coffee we find ourselves walking into the elevator cart.

"I'm extremely happy that Josh's mom is okay and that you and him have made it official together." I say to her as I take a sip of my iced chai tea latte.

"Thank you Amy. That means a lot to me. I'm also happy that him and I are officially dating. But I did want to ask you, are you sure that you're ready to come back to work?" She asks with a questionable look on her face just as the elevator doors opened to our floor.

"Yes. I'm absolutely in need for some sort of normalcy in my life, especially right now." I tell her despite the fact that I'm still extremely soar and even me just getting ready for work today drained the life out of me.

"Okay well I'll come by your office in a few once you're settled to fill you in on what's been going on." She says to me as we start to part ways to go to our offices.

As I enter my office and sit down to power up the Mac I settle in and start to write a couple of things in my planner for the week.

After the Mac is powered up I click on the web so that I can log into my work email when something catches my eye. On the left along with all of the other ads, news columns I notice there's a photo with the headline reading "Who's the new woman is Damon Anderson's life?."

Curiosity consumes me and I click the link without realizing it and suddenly I am transported to the website. All over the page, there are multiple photos of Mr. Anderson and I kissing, him holding my arms, and what seems to look like us arguing in the middle of the street.

Oh no...
