"Don't wo...."
The person becomes pretty stunned to see Sandra standing near the gate.
"Did she hear everything? I didn’t even finish the talk! Damn it!"
That person thinks.
"I thought you were gone."
Sandra asks, twitching her eyebrows in confusion.
"Um....yeah. I got an important call. I had to receive it. But what are you doing here, Sandra? Aren’t you supposed to be with Amelia?"
Shawn says in one breath. He is getting angry in a fear of being exposed.
"Why is he behaving like that?"
Sandra thinks.
"I forgot to close the gate. Don't worry, buddy. I didn’t eavesdrop."
She assures him.
"No..I... um... didn’t think like that. I was just stressed due to work. Anyways, Bye."
He just hurries from there.
"Sandy?
Will you come or what?"
Amelia screams from inside the house.
"Yeah. Coming!"
Sandra responds to Amelia.
Soon they get engaged in their sleepover. Sammy also joins them when she came from the shop. She asks her niece in the middle,
"Are you okay, sweetie?"
"Yeah, Sam. Don't worry. "
Sandra assures her concerned-looking aunt.
"Thanks for these amazing pendants, Sandy! You know how much I love these!"
Amelia hugs Sandra.
"You are most welcome!"
Sandra hugs back her best friend.
-----------------------------------------------------
"Is he deceiving Amy?"
Sandra suddenly wakes up from sleep.
She couldn’t sleep properly last night.
She was thinking about the conversation she heard.....regarding Shawn.
"No. I shouldn’t think like that. I didn’t hear the whole thing."
She sighs.
It's like her heart is trying to find a loophole in Shawn and Amelia's relationship. She is yet to recover from the heartbreak.
--------------------------------------------------------
It's been a month since Amelia and Shawn's relationship. They are really happy. But sometimes Amelia feels strangely sad around Shawn.
Sometimes he gets a call and then he forgets everything; even Amelia. He just abandons her.
She feels bad then....really bad. She even asked Shawn about it. He brushed it off saying work. Amelia doesn’t want to be a girlfriend who spies on her boyfriend.
Still...
One day they are walking along the beach.
Their hands intertwined...
Waters are touching their feet. It is soothing.
Shawn is talking about their future.
He is telling how they are gonna paint their house! What they would wear to their wedding...even how many babies they would take!
Amelia is blushing furiously.
"How easily he is saying all these! I am dying here!"
Suddenly Shawn gets the call. He leaves Amelia's hand signing a sorry.
"That's enough! It had to come between me and Shawn."
Amelia gets angry and runs behind Shawn. She snatches the phone from him.
"Let me see who gets more importance than me from my boyfriend!"
She says and watches the caller ID.
"Ophelia?"
-------------------------------------------------------
"Who is she?"
Amelia asks, being slightly jealous as it is a girl's name.
Shawn on the other hand is way angrier.
"Why would you do that? Gimme the phone, Amelia!"
He screams.
