Red, the Color of Desire

Secrets and Promises

Amanda's POV

After Aaron leaves, I awkwardly walk back into my house and take a seat next to Fra while everyone is just staring at me.

"So, do you guys like the cookies I made?"

Nobody answers. Fra leans over and takes a huge whiff of me.

"You don't smell like sex or Aaron..."

"What?! Since when does my sex life interest you?"

"Since you and Aaron got together!" Everyone screams. Poor Eddie is still sitting in the corner with his head down in the pizza box.

"Aaron and I aren't together though!"

"Then explain what just happened in your room?!!" Sam screams.

"Things you guys don't need to know! Well, the small details that is," I say winking while taking a slice of pizza.

"So, how's Aaron in b-b-bed?" Eddie asks stuttering.

"Oh, umm he's amazing actually. Best I've had..."

"And I'm sure you've had many," Sam quietly says.

"Hey! I heard that. What's your problem Sam?!"

"Nothing at all. By the time we're done filming, you'll probably have already fucked 90% of the cast."

In disbelief I rush to my room on the brink of tears. After a few moments alone somebody is knocking on my door.

"GO AWAY!"

"Can I please come in?"

I look up and Eddie's at the door. "Okay fine....."

"Are you okay? Sam didn't mean what she said."

"I'm sure she didn't, but still. We 're such good friends, why would she say something like that. People always have the wrong impressions with me like Aaron."

"Oh......Aaron.."

"Eddie, it's nothing like that. I promise! We were joking around in my room just so that Aaron could win that bet. But you can't tell anyone! It's a secret between you, Aaron, and I!" He nods his head.

"You're the one I really like," I quietly say taking his hand. He blushes and grips my hand tighter.

"Are you just going to sit there and blush Eddie?!"

"You are truly something else," he replies kissing my head when there's another knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

But before somebody can answer, all of the guys but George and Sam walk in my room.

"You okay hun?" Alistair asks putting his arm around my shoulder.

"Totally fine guys, thanks a bunch though. You guys can come over whenever you want!"

"You'll be expecting me later tonight then," Fra says giving me a peck on my lips.

"Aw man, I love you guys so much. Where's Sam and George?"

"George had to drive Sam home."

"Oh, alright then."

"I guess we should leave now since we have filming tomorrow."

"Yeah, don't want to be yawning at the barricade!" Fra jokes.

"Goodnight guys!" I say giving them all a hug.

"Night Amanda!" They reply as they leave my room. Before Eddie leaves, I grab his sleeve and pull him back for a little kiss.

"Goodnight Eddiekins," I say blushing.

"You're lucky you're cute, otherwise I wouldn't be allowing this name calling!"

Sam's POV

"HURRY UP GEORGE. I WANT TO GO HOME!"

"Okay okay! Calm down. I need to find my keys."

"Who does Amanda think she is?! She surely does get around well around here."

"Amanda's cool though. I thought you guys were close?"

"Yeah...we are. Well, were."

"Oh geez, you're really worked up about this. Why should you care about who Amanda dates and fucks?"

"Uh I don't. I could care less!" I say twisting my hair and looking at the ground.

"Sam. Sam. Sam. I've known you for too long, you're such a terrible liar. What's wrong with you tonight?!"

"Nothing at all George. Get in the car now."

As he's starting the car, he immediately stops. "HOLD UP! You like Aaron don't cha?"

"I want to go home."

"Answer the damn question missy!"

"Okay I do....happy now?"

"So that's why you're so upset with little blondie!"

I nod my head yes.

"Aww my little sis has a crush? On an American fellow too? Don't worry about Amanda. One night stands are typical and I never have feeling towards the girl after!"

" I know but I'm afraid of Aaron falling for her. George, you can't tell ANYONE THIS SECRET. CROSS YOUR HEART AND SWEAR ON YOUR CAT YOU WON'T TELL A SOUL!"

"Not my cat Nemo! Okay I swear. But I think Aaron has a little thing for Amanda...sorry."

"Kill me now....." I groan slamming my head onto the dashboard.

"He'll come around, don't worry about it," George says trying to comfort me.

"Alright, but if this doesn't work out, I'm stealing Nemo!"

The next day we get on set and I find Amanda immediately to apologize.

"I'm sorry about how I reacted yesterday. Can you keep a secret?"

"Of course Sam, what's wrong?!"

"I kind of like Aaron...."

"WHAT?!" She shrieks.

I cover her mouth. "KEEP IT DOWN GIRL!"

"I'm sorry, but this was not expected. If I had known, I wouldn't have........."

"Yeah...sorry I didn't tell you."

"Chicks before dicks! Always. Love you Sam. Never letting a guy come between us."

We have a quick embrace and separate since her scenes are mainly with Hugh and Russell, while mine are with the lovely barricade boys.

Aaron's POV

On break all of the guys approach me.

"So how was Amanda last night?" They all ask except for Eddie.

"She umm sure knows her stuff!" I lie.

"Yeah, I came by again last night hoping to get some of that action but she didn't let me in until I cracked one of her windows throwing pebbles," Fra explains.

"You actually went back?!" Eddie nervously asks.

"Yeah but I just stayed the night on her couch."

"Oh...that's cool."

"Back to our other conversation, WAY TO GO AARON!" George yells.

"Yeah! Didn't know you had it in you!"

"Thanks guys," I chuckle. "Where's my money though."

George pulls out a butt load of cash and hands it to me. Feeling a little guilty I offer to take everyone out tonight for dinner.

"Dinner of me tonight guys!"

"I see Aaron's still happy from last night! Thanks bro!"

I'm packing up my stuff when I see Amanda and Eddie cuddling up together before they get into their own cars to head for dinner. Interesting...very interesting.

I have more drama coming up! So keep an eye out :) xx 8 votes and comments please!
