Amanda and Zoey

Chapter 5

Damion

I take another piece of pizza and devoured it like the first. I am surprised the pizza is actually good.

"Are you feeling better?" Zoey asks.

“Yeah I am thanks. I am sure you were right  I just needed to eat. And this pizza is actually good. I never tried it because I figured it would suck, being from the mall and all. I am shocked.” I say to Zoey.

“I could never work around all that food and not at least try it. I am glad you feel better. You scared me for a minute there." She says and has a smile on her face. God I love her smile. It's so warm and inviting.

I know her name from her checks. Now how lame is that. I thought she was amazingly beautiful from the first time I delivered food to her. I never had a chance to talk her, not just asking for her food total. Normally she takes the food and closes the door right away. We have never had much small talk.

“I am really sorry about that. I am not sure what came over me. Thank you for all the help.”

“It’s not a problem. After all you visit me about 3 days a week and I don’t even know your name. “She says.

 I can’t believe this is going so well. I have wanted to talk to her for so long now. I could never find a great time or she seemed like she was in a hurry to get back to what she was doing.

“It’s Damion. And I don’t believe you have told me yours.” I say to her just to seem normal. I don’t want to seem like the kind of guy that is attracted to a girl and looks at her checks. Even though that’s actually what I am at this point.

“It’s Zoey. And my roommate you met is Amanda. I am sorry by the way when I slammed the door on your face the other day, when she was being rude to you. She kind of has a temper and I didn’t want her to go off the deep end. “She says while her cheeks redden just a little bit. I can’t help but find it cute that she felt the need to save me.

“No problem I was a little rude too. I guess I was just having a bad day. I hope it didn’t cause you any problems” I say to her trying to seem sincere. I don’t want her thinking that I think her roommate is a basket case. Even though I really do.

“Oh no it was fine, she gets over things fast” and just as she is finished talking the front door burst open. From the kitchen we can see Amanda emerge from the door. But she is not looking anything like I have ever seen her, she looks as though she has been violently attacked. Her face is puffy and swollen. It looks like she took a very hard slap to the face. I also can’t help but notice her shirt is ripped and her bra is exposed. I try to divert my eyes instantly. Looking down  I noticed that one of her knee caps is bleeding threw the jeans. This is probably the worst timing for me to be here. She normally is rude to me I can’t imagine how she is going to be now.

Zoey runs to the door to help her friend. “Oh my god Amanda what happened to you. Are you ok?” She asks in a panicked tone. I stand slowly I think now would be a good time for me to leave. And just as I did Amanda looks my direction.

“What the fuck is the pizza dude doing here?” Amanda says.

“Oh well he didn’t look that great. I think his sugar was low or something. So I asked him in for some water and food” Zoey says. She turns her head and I see her blush just a bit.

“Whatever save who you want. I was attacked tonight and I am dirty and tired. I will talk to you after I take a shower.” Amanda says and starts to walk up the stairs leaving us alone once again.
