Amelia's POV-
When we got home I went straight to my room. Today was tiring and over dramatized, everyone kept asking about Amee and if she was okay. My reply was always the same, “She’s fine.” and then I would walk away.
I flopped down on my bed, arms covering my face, sighing deeply. Nate was at my side rubbing my arm.
“Are you okay, babe?”
“Truthfully, no. This day has been so stressful and tiring.” I said, sitting up.
“How about we go out for ice cream and a movie?” Nate suggests rubbing my back.
I smiled at him, nodded and made a move to get up.
“Or we can stay here like this and make out.” H wiggled his eyebrows at me.
“Perv, lets go.” I got up off of his lap, pulling him up with me.
We walked down the stairs and out of the house hand in hand toward the car. Hopping in and driving off to the movies. We decided on watching Walking with Dinosaurs in 3D, walking in and sitting down in the comfortable cushioned chairs. I rested my head on his shoulder breathing in his unique scent while waiting for the movie to start.
“Oh, you’re here. Babe, maybe we should leave wouldn’t want the bitchiness to rub off on us.” Amee said standing in the isle facing some guy.
“Don’t let her get to you Lia.” Nate whispered in my ear.
I shook my head at her and smiled at Nate kissing his cheek before paying attention to the big screen again. Other than the snide comments that were obviously meant to be heard from Amee, the movie went well and we got out of there soon after trying our hand at the games they keep there to entertain kids. We walked over to FroYos and grabbed some frozen yogurt. I got strawberry cheesecake and he got chocolate dream. Sitting down at a table in the corner, we began to eat.
“Want to try some of mine?” Nate asked.
“Sure.” I said smiling and opening my mouth to the spoon he held up in the air.
“That’s good. Here try mine.” I held my spoon out to him.
He looked at me after taking some of my fro yo and smiled at me.
“I wish this marriage wasn’t arranged. I wanted to start off slow get to know you personally then date and a couple of years later after college get married. But I don’t regret anything about what’s happened to us, in a way it’s making us stronger.” He said taking my hand as he led me out the door, discarding our trash on the way.
We drove back home in silence except for the radio playing softly in the background. I had a smile playing on my lips, my hand secure in Nate’s gentle hold. The day ended soon after we got home. Stripping from our day cloths and into our pjs, we climbed into bed Nate holding me to his chest and me slipping into unconsciousness.
