The Lonely Girl

Chapter 11

Nick took a bite out of the sub he was currently half way through and studied his best friend for a moment.

Something was different.

For the life of him he just couldn't put his finder on what it was.

Amelia or Barney, as he now affectionately called her, strolled in, files in hand. A lovely rose hue on her cheeks.

And then it clicked.

'Oh my god, Nick you are an idiot! Something happened between you guys.'

Amelia turned beetroot red and hastily dumped, well more like threw the files in Kyle's general direction.

'I might go and do some stuff in my office, alone. Later guys.' Nick chuckled to himself as she turned on her heels and ran out the door as f the very devil were snapping at her heels. He turned back to Kyle, who had gathered the files and seemed to be paying more attention than usual.

'Er Kyle, it normally helps if the paper is up the right way.' Chuckling Nick took the paper out of his hands and turned it around the right way.

Kyle grinned sheepishly at Nick and chucked the files on his desk.

'Ok, something might have happened.' Kyle grinned to himself.

'So the gala was a success' Nick sat and carried on munching on his sub.

'Oh god no. It was awful. Amelia had red wine thrown over her dress, and spent the best part of the night being verbally abused, on the plus side my mom and dad loved her.'

'Wait, wait, wait, someone threw wine at her.' Nick looked confused, Amelia was a great girl. Why would someone have it in for her. Sure she wasn't much like the normal twigs you get in their general circle, but she did have a certain charm about her. Women, he never understood them.

'Yeah, I can't remember her name, but anyway. I finally found Amelia at home crying her eyes out, things just went on from there.'

'So.....you guys are together now.' Nick took a long sip of his coke, then started on sub number two.

'Yeah we're together. Man why are you eating so much?' Kyle looked upon his friend somewhat disgusted, somewhat in awe.

'Dunno hungry I guess. So you fuck her yet?'

'Oh my god, remind me why we're friends again. Yes we had sex.' Kyle said blushing.

'Ahhhh, man you're blushing. You're such a girl. You really like her huh?' Nick grinned.

'Yes I really like her. I am not blushing you asshole.' Kyle threw an elastic band ball at Nick's head.

Nick ducked quickly, that fucker hurt! 'What about the bet man, you won. I honestly thought she'd hold out some more.'

'I don't give a fuck about the bet. I really like her dude. I just can't help but think I'm gonna fuck up somehow.'

'Don't be stupid, I've never seen you like this over a girl. Surely that tells you something. Just make sure that she never finds out about that stupid bet.'

Kyle looked at Nick worried 'Do you think this is all happening too fast.'

Nick sighed heavily, please god if I ever fall in love don't turn me into a girl like Kyle. 'Kyle, does it feel right?'

'Well, yeah.'

'Well then there you go, there's the answer. Now can I finish my sub in peace. Dr Phil is taking a break.'

***************

 Amelia glared at the phone in front of her. The number she needed was on a post it note in front of her. She needed to et herself checked out. Kyle as probably careful when he was with other women, but this was her health and that had to come first. You could never be to careful. Sighing heavily she picked up the phone and dialled the number of the Sexual Health Clinic.

*****************

'So honey why are you here today'

Amelia smiled kindly sat the nurse in front of her, she thought that the nurse would be judging her for visiting such a clinic, but the nurse was too busy smiling to judge.

'Well, I recently had sex for the first time, I just wanted to get checked out because the man is now my boyfriend, but shortly before he was with me he had sex with someone else. I just want to be sure.'

The nurse moved around the room, 'Ok honey the first thing we need is a urine sample'

20 minutes later Amelia walked out of the clinic feeling much better, she should probably tell Kyle where she had been but she didn't want to offend him.

The ringing of her phone startled her, pulling it out of her pocket she talked as she walked home.

'Hello'

'Hi Amy, where are you? I'm waiting outside your apartment with Nick. I thought we could all hang out. I got Chinese. Is it not a good time?'

'Kyle, give me five minutes, under the doormat is a key, use it to let yourself in, but please move my knickers from the rack in front of the radiator before you guys do anything.'

Kyle set the key in the door and gave it a swift kick.

'Dude what's with the anger?' Nick wandered into the surprisingly cosy apartment. He went to switch on the light but Kyle stopped him.

'Don't touch it, it doesn't work, switch on the fairy lights instead.' I'm just gonna get some plates and cups, wait here a minute, don't touch anything.' Wandering off into the kitchen, Kyle hoped Nick wouldn't get himself into any trouble.

'Dude' Nick hollered 'I just hit the jackpot. Who'd have thought sweet little Barney had suck naughty panties.'

'Nick, put those down. Oh my god she'll kill me if she found out you got hold of those' Kyle snatched them out of his hand and grabbed the rest from the radiator.

Kyle walked into the bedroom and set them out on her bed. He walked over to the door to see what Nick was doing, seeing he was happily looking through Amy's DVD collection. Walking back to the bed he rifled through the small bundle, looking to see what had Nick so excited, finding a lacy black pair he held them up in front of them, imagining Amelia in them.

' Damn' Kyle grinned.

........And that is how Amelia and Nick found him.
