“Oh my God Amanda! What spell did your boss cast on you? I mean, you've only just started working or this guy and you are already talking all dreamy like a girl who is in love.” Kate deadpanned then, took her glass of Juice from the kitchen counter to the dining table.
Kate had been present all through Amanda’s relationships and breakups. And none had she witnessed that made Amanda glow like she did now. Amanda had never really fell in love before, kate wasn't even sure if her friend knew how to love. Although, Kate considered Amanda be loyal and faithful to her partner but that wasn't enough to rule out the fact that Amanda still saw dating as a sport. Now she pitied the man Amanda kept talking about for she knew he might suffer the same fate in the hands of Amanda.
Kate thought Amanda's behavior was caused by the nature of her Job. Like she had always said, 'show business is all about keeping up appearances and being perfect for the cameras.' Kate had a bad feeling about this one like she had with the last one and the one before. Things could escalate badly if Amanda choose to indulge her present boss in her little game. But, she needed to find a better way to convey her suspicions to Amanda.
“Do you think I’m in love?” Amanda asked even more confused.
“I know you are.” Kate said, settling on an empty chair across from Amanda and sipping her glass Juice.
“Is this how it feels when you are in love?” Amanda looked miserable in Kate's eyes, but received warm smile from her friend and manager.
"You don’t know?” Kate gulped down her Juice again, moving her gaze away from Amanda, with an attempt to avoid eye contact.
“Tell me, you are married to a breathtaking man and blessed with a beautiful daughter. Was this how you felt when first met Greg?” Her curious eyes sat on her chin, supported with both palms while her elbows rested on the dining table.
“Yes. Then, whenever I saw him, I imagined my feet off the floor, flying into his strong arms and praying he never lets me go. But I braced myself when I discovered he loved me too. Not that I wanted to play hard to get or anything, but because I had to make sure he earned my love so my heart won’t pay the price. I’ve been heartbroken once and it was never pretty.” Kate told, shoving the creeping sad thought off her shoulders.
“I should do that, I shall make him earn my love.” Amanda smiled as she voiced her incredible idea to Kate.
Kate shook her head in disapproval “You could do that, if he loves you too or at least feel the way you feel for him.” She responded conditionally.
“I’ll make him fall in love with me.” Amanda asserted, snapping her fingers and then running one finger on the table in circular motion.
"What? This is new." Kate said to herself but her eyes couldn't hide her surprise. “How, Amanda? By showering him with gifts or taking him on a free trip to Hollywood?" Kate yelled.
