Amanda and Zoey

Chapter 8

Zoey

I wake up in the morning and head to Amanda’s room to see if she is in yet. If she is I need to talk to her about Adel’s book still. I open the door and she is asleep. I decide I better wake her up she will probably run out tonight to be with that vamp anyways.

“Wake up sleepy head we need to talk” I say to her as sweet as I can with Adel’s book in hand.

“Dude what the fuck do we have to talk about at nine in the morning?” Amanda says and pulls the covers over her head.

“You know some people have been up and at work for hours by now” I say to her.

“Yeah well there all dumb you know.” Amanda says and turns over.

“ Ok well I will go downstairs and make COFFEE and READ ADELES book alone so bye.” I say and make sure she hears coffee and Adele’s book good and clear.

“Oh my god, dude, what the hell you got it open? What are you doing standing there read it now.” Amanda is now off the bed and running towards me.

It kind of scares me when she darts towards me so on instinct I run down the stairs and I hear her follow.  I sit at the table and she goes to the pot and starts coffee.

“Ok so the other night I read a few things. I found out Adel has a twin. Here look” I open the book to the marked page and show her the passage.

                             My twin gave birth to her twins today. It was such a joy two very beautiful healthy baby girls. What else could any mother ask for, Power that’s what. I would have never believed this of my sister but she is gone and mother and I have to protect these precious gifts for the gods and goddesses. Only they know what powers and destinies that is in store for the little ones.

“holy shit, Zoe you got an aunt and cousins somewhere?” she blurts out. “We should find them?”

“Well I don’t know it says the mom left so where are the babys. This just opens way more questions.” I point out. I feel so lost a family I never knew. “she left the babys for power, your right we have to find out more about this part of my family.” I say more thinking out loud than anything else.

“ok well, I will start by digging up the birth records. I will start with Abel’s and then her twin’s.” Amanda decides right away.

“I can’t believe Abel didn’t raise the girls herself like me. She never even told me about them.” I look at Amanda. This is so confusing. It is almost as if I didn’t even know Abel at all.

“I am sure she had her reasons, maybe the social services didn’t give her a choice.” Amanda pours her coffee in her mug and comes to sit down.  “Don’t worry we will figure this out, I am sure it was just painful for Abel and that is why she never mentioned any of this.”

     I decide to change the subject. I am just a little overwhelmed by this revelation. “Did you ever make the deliveries for me?” I ask “I mean if you forgot after my cow incident, I will understand. It’s just that Breanna has left me a lot of messages.”

“Yeah I had the deliveries already in the car. I did forget my gloves but I was afraid to come back in. You owe me big. Breanna said she will get back to you, bruce too.” Amanda tells me.

I notice she did not mention the martini sippers package. Maybe she is to scared to go back. “I can drop off the martini sippers package tonight. I think it would be nice to get out. Maybe I will call Cynthia.” I offer to get her off the hook.
