[ Simanda ] Any happy ending for us?

Chapter 7: Just wait, and then let her go

Amanda's POV

I open my eyes and see Simon lying next to me, hugging me tight. I'm so perplexed, I try to make out why I'm here, on bed with my boss. Everything I could remember is Simon brought me to the room because I was in dead drunk. And wrong things may occur
-Damn it... I couldn't control myself
I've fallen for Simon, but after everything, I just want to remain his partner or good friends. He also in love with me too, I could remember his confessed.
I quickly put on my clothes. Before leaving, I come to Simon. He's still sleeping, I don't want to wake him up. I give Simon a kiss on his forehead and get out of the room
- Sleep tight, Simon... You know what, I always in love with you

Simon's POV:

I get up in the morning and feel quite stunning. I realise that Amanda has left the room before I get up and took all her clothes. I can't remember clearly everything last night because I wasn't sober. But I know that me and Amanda did have an ardent night.
I also remember that I've confessed I have a crush on her. And luckily, she has the same feeling with me. However, yesterday was the last day we could meet. I will take a flight to the US and start filming for America's Got Talent this evening and we don't have any chance to see each other again till next season of BGT. When I get home, I immediately grab my phone and text to Amanda

- Darling, you've left so soon. Have you been home safely?

-Sorry for leaving without say goodbye to you. I see you still sleep so I really don't want to wake you up. I didn't go home. I have a photo-shoot right after.

-Have you still remembered anything last night?

-I'm not sober at that time anymore so... Maybe something unexpected happened.

- It won't make you confused when see me in the future, Amanda?

- I first want to blame that we are drunk last night; however, I'm gonna keep this beautiful moment in my mind, as a secret that just the two of us know. If only time could slow down last night...

I don't know how to reply her message, I just send an iconic and then turn off my phone. I package my luggage for the business trip. I don't have much confidence to confess that I want to be on a serious relationship with Amanda. Just like the other times, I will wait.
I get on the plane with many thoughts in my mind. I hardly could sleep during the flight.
I soon become deeper and deeper to work in America. There's no free time to care about any work in England, especially Amanda. It's been a while I didn't text or call her. I'm so busy that I don't even have time to think about Amanda. But this night, I suddenly miss her. I first want to send her a message asking how is she now.
- No... We have different time-belt. She may asleep now
I then talk to myself and discourage me from doing that. I will continue to wait, I've plenty of times and chances. I will definitely ask her to be my lover. And maybe something more than that. We can  freely walk outside together hands in hands, don't be afraid if anyone misunderstand, because we're a real couple. As soon as AGT comes to an end, I'm going to run directly to Amanda  and say I love her so much.

_Five months later_

( It's still Simon's POV  )
I've done all works in the U.S. Fortunately, it was also a remarkable season of AGT. No sooner did I get back to London than I quickly call Amanda. It took her a while to pick up the phone
-Hello darling
- Oh Simon, where have you been in five months! I miss you so much!!!
- I was so busy, really sorry for not calling these months. How are you now, babe?
- I'm good. It's glad that you're back to London. Are you be free this evening Simon, I want to treat you a meal to congrate that AGT is successful and your coming back
- That's a wonderful idea, so I will come and pick you up at half past seven, ok?
-Ok, see you
I'm so happy after hearing her voice and also have a meal together tonight. I immediately catch a taxi home and get ready. I've prepared a necklace as a present for Amanda too. I choose it myself, hope she like it and accept my l love.
The restaurant Amanda chose is a nice one. The food is delicious, and Amanda is beautiful today. Five months don't see, she's still has her own special gorgeous. I didn't plan to confess during the meal. I will do that when drive her home.
We're all finish our dinner and talk to each other for a while. She asks me a lot about my job and my health there. She seems really care to me.
It's now home time! My chances has come.
- Mandy, I have something to tell you...
- Simon, I want to tell you this...
We both want to start the conversation at the same time.
- Lady first- I wink and point at Amanda
She smiles and then says thank you. I really want to say my feeling now, but I'd better wait for her.
- It's hard to inform this... Simon... I'm going to get married next month...
She speaks with a halt. I was shocked when hearing that
- Who is the groom?
I try to be calm and ask her
- Chris Hughes, we've dated for a year. We haven't inform to the reporters yet so you might don't know this. Will you be able to come to my wedding, Simon?
- I will think about it later. It's quite late, darling... I mean Holden, you should go home. Chris won't be happy if he knows you get home this late with a man.
- Ok, call me if you can come. I hope to see you in my wedding. Good night, Simon
Amanda gives me a hug, waves at me and goes straight to the gate.
I just nod. My mind goes blank now. I can't even say anything. I always told myself to wait when the good chance comes. However, I didn't know that I've been waiting for so long until now.
When I realise the truth, she has gone so far away from me.
