Fatal Attraction (Jensen Ackles Romance) COMPLETE

Not For Sale

-CHAPTER THIRTY SEVEN-

Amber's P.O.V:

Nikki is away for the weekend to NY to spend time with Norman so I was all on my lonesome. It was strange being in the house alone again, but after all the drama of the last several months it was nice. I can't believe how crazy life has been and I have to say it was nice to sit and breath for once. 

Sure Danneel hated me, sure I had no idea what was going on with her and Jensen, or Me and Jensen for that matter I was clueless about everything. It hurt to know he was still there with her, but at the same time I couldn't blame him. He was being the good guy. No matter what she was still his wife and I suppose even if he fell out of love with her he'd still always care for her and she needed him right now and I understood that, but that doesn't mean I don't wish we could talk about things so I knew where I stood. Maybe one day soon. 

Bored I grabbed my phone, purse and car keys and headed out the door. I needed some retail therapy. I hit almost every store I could think of and bought myself a few new outfits. Shopping alone sucks and now I was hungry so I headed to Nikki and I usual cafe and sat outside as it was still surprisingly hot for being mid autumn. 

"Hello what can I get you?" The young waitress asked. 

"Can I get a caramel latte and a tuna salad please." I asked

"Sure thing." She smiled scribbling my order down. "Back in a jiffy with your latte." She said. 

"Thanks." I smiled and took my jacket off it really was warm today. My phone dinged in my purse so I grabbed it and checked it was a text from Nikki. It read:

Hey hun Norman has asked me to go on a trip to Canada with him so I won't be home for another two weeks. If you need me at all for anything though just call and I'll come home. N x

Ohhh lucky you. Have fun and don't do anything I wouldn't do :p you better bring me back a cool canadian pressie hehe. Say hi to Norman for me :) A x

Of course I will. He says hi back. Remember only a phone call away.  N x

Thanks, now go have fun. A x

I would be lying if I said the thought of being on my own for a couple weeks sucked, but on the flip side I was super happy for Nikki. She seemed so happy with Norman and he was a great guy. 

The waitress soon came back with my latte. "Thank you."

"Sorry about the short wait the machine is temperamental." She said politely.

"No need to worry. I'm in no hurry." 

"You're also a poet and didn't know it." She smiled. 

"Apparently so." I replied. 

"With your salad would you like all the trimmings?"

"Yeah go on slap it all on."

"Okay doke." She nodded and took her leave. 

I was casually glancing around waiting for my food when I saw Jensen heading toward me. Maybe I could get him to sit and talk since he was alone.

"Hey Jensen." I called and gave a small wave. He looked at me gave a small nod but kept walking on. Okay what the hell was that about? I wondered. Whatever it was, it was incredibly rude.

All throughout my lunch I couldn't get the image of how Jensen just walked on by as if I were some stranger. He saw me I know he saw me, he looked straight at me. I just couldn't get the nagging feeling out my gut that something was up with him. 

On the way home I stopped by the club to see how it was doing. Carl was there picking up the newspaper.

"Hey. What do you think? Another day or so and we can get the builders back?" He asked seeing me enter.

"Yeah it's drying up nicely." I smiled. 

"You okay?" He asked sensing something was up.

"Uh yeah it's fine."

"Babe, I might be a guy, but I can girl talk with the best of you's, maybe better because I have male perspective." I looked to him. "What?"

"Carl I love you but you are so one of the girls, you're as confused about men as we are."

"Yeah maybe, but come on talk to me. I can see something is up." HE patted a bar stool. I took it and I told him.

"Maybe he was preoccupied." 

"No, that's not it I just know there is something else."

"Do you think he might be getting back with Danneel?"

"Maybe, I mean I have no idea what's going on with us so it is possible." 

"You need to talk to him ask him out right." 

"I do don't I." Carl nodded. I hopped off the stool. "Then talk to him I shall." I nodded. "See ya later" I said.

Back at the house I pulled up into the driveway and I hoped over the fence and knocked on the door Danneel answered. 

"Is Jensen here?" I asked. A few seconds later Jensen came to the door. 

"What's up?" He asked. 

"Why are you ignoring me? Earlier on I spoke and you completely disregarded me like I was some stranger."

"Oh right well uh see the thing is." He cleared his throat Danneels decided to move back home to Louisiana and I am going with her."

"Wait! You're what? So what about us? About all those things you said?"

"I love you Amber I really do, but Danneel needs me."

"Oh and I suppose I don't. Whatever Jensen." I stormed away as I walked up my drive my eyes fell on my for sale sign and I snapped I pulled it from the ground and threw it onto the street. When I got back into my house I closed the front door and fell into a heap on the floor and cried. A place I found myself so many times since meeting that man.  Ugh How could I be so stupid? I have the worst taste in men. Wiping my tears away my mind flashed back to the sign I just pulled from the lawn. Shit. I was going to sell my grandmother's house. I quickly grabbed my phone and called the estate agent and told them I no longer wished to sell. If Danneel and Jensen were moving I had no reason to sell anymore. I head to the kitchen and pour myself a glass of JD on the rocks. How could he just decide to leave with her? He told me he loved me. Was it all a lie? Why was he still choosing her over me? Why was she taking him back when she knows he doesn't love her, not really. Because if he did then he wouldn't have been with me. None of this was making sense.
