The Star Who Stole My Lover (18+)

Part 18

Liam Jennings
It was time to pack up now.

"Alright everybody, thanks for comin'! Ya'll say buh-bye to our Aiden Williams and Amanda Wells!" The host said as Aiden and Amanda stood up to leave.

"Bye!"
"Bye Aiden!"
"Bye Amanda!"
"We love you Aiden!"
The crowd cheered and waved.

"Bye everyone!" Aiden waved back.

"Thank you all so much for coming! It means so much to us!" Amanda sincerely said to the crowd.

Then the staff opened the curtains for them to exit.

When they headed out, we followed.

It was starting to feel awkward between Reginna and I, as we didn't talk to each other.

"Say, Reginna, could you help me pack a few things? It'll only be a while." Aiden said to Reginna.

"Alright, lead the way." Reginna answered with a nod.

"Liam?" Amanda poked my arm.

I faced her.

"Um, would you mind helping me out a bit?" She asked me.

"Oh no, not at all. What can I do for you?" I said with a friendly smile.

It's important I show Amanda I'm okay. I feel her concern for me all throughout today. I'm really fine. It's just that.. I never expected Reginna to do that.. Let alone I never expected her to drift away like this. It's like she was turning to someone else now.

I really appreciate Amanda having my back. I was right to idolize her. She got this famous but she remained humble and down to Earth, concerned for the people around her. I can't help but wonder why Aiden would do that when he has someone like Amanda. She's amazing.

I guess I'm just being too eaten by what's going on with Reginna and Aiden. I mean, what's the worst that could happen, right? Jealousy will get me nowhere. I should just distract myself. I don't want to handle this now.

"I bought stuff while waiting for you guys to arrive-" Amanda said as she lead me further behind the curtains.

"-And looks like I bought too much." She stopped in front a pile of boxes and paperbags.

"Haha! Whoa!" I laughed.

"I know. It's becoming an addiction." Amanda bashfully said to me.

"Went on a little shopping spree I see." I joked as I began to pick up the boxes.

"Hahaha. Don't start." Amanda said as she playfully hit my arm.

**********

When I got all the things in the trailer, I continued to help her place her things where they should be because Aiden also had stuff to bring in.

"Just place this in the middle." Amanda said as she handed me a pair of shoes and pointed at the shoe rack inside her opened closet.

As I reached out to take the shoes, our hands touched.

She turned to look at me.

"Thanks for helping out. I appreciate it." She broke the silence.

I did what she said and placed the shoes in the shoe rack.

"No problem. Glad to be of help." I replied to her.

"Could you hand me that chair?" Amanda stood as she pointed to the chair beside me.

"Here." I handed her the chair.

"You know, you're the first person to help me this much besides from our assistants." Amanda said as she placed the chair in front of the closet.
