Stuck in the Past

Chapter 31

I arrived at the hospital and saw that our captain was there checking on his detective. I waited for him to leave his room and knocked on the door, receiving the most beautiful smile I have seen in my life.

- Do not worry, you do not get rid of me so easily, - she said to me, but I did not answer her, I just came and kissed her. - What was that?

- I thought that Iwas going to lose you. I never want to feel this way again ... I couldn't stand the thought that something happened to you and that I never had the opportunity to tell you that I am completely and hopelessly in love with you. Seeing that you were in danger of life was as if a knife had been stuck in my heart.

- Jeez, look at the drama.-  said Amy, smiling.

- I'm not being dramatic. Amy I love you!

- I love you too.- exclaimed Amy smiling and kissed me.

- I know this is going to sound like a six year old, but do you want to date me?

- Yes, yes I want to be your girlfriend!

- By the way, my mom wants you to go home for dinner today. Do you think your parents care?

- No, in fact they are not at home. They went to an important business meeting and are only coming back tomorrow.

- So they have no idea what just happened.

- No, don't even think about telling them. I don't want them to worry, and besides, I'm fine.

- If that's what you want, I respect it.

- So you can tell your mother that I am happy to go to dinner at your house today. In fact I want to thank her personally for what she did today. She saved my life, Henry!

Although what I most wanted to do was stay in the company of my girlfriend, I still had two more hours to do at CCPD, so I said goodbye to her with a kiss and went on my way.

When I got there, I went straight to my office and just signed the paperwork that had started before this situation happened. It was soon my time to leave and as I was off tomorrow, I already left things tidy in the laboratory so that whoever came tomorrow on my turn did not need to wash everything I used and left for home.

As soon as I got home I took the opportunity to eat something, since due to all that confusion I hadn't even had lunch. I prepared some toast with strawberry jam and took some orange juice and went to eat in the living room, because that way I could be watching TV too.

Almost four minutes later my parents arrived with Ronnie, who came to sit beside me and still managed to steal one of my toasts. Since I didn't have to pick up Amy at home, I took the time to help my almost new little brother do his homework for tomorrow. When my mom came to the living room with a glass of chocolate milk for Ronnie I told her that Amy was going to be home alone today because her parents were at a work conference and would only be back tomorrow evening.

She thought it was a good idea to prepare a mattress in Dawn's room for Amy to spend the night here, the she would't have to spend the night alone at her house, and honestly, none of us cared that she stayed here.

Shortly after, my mom and dad started to prepare dinner and I continued in the living room, in the company of Ronnie, who was now playing with some cars that we had bought him. It was ten minutes to eight when our doorbell rang and I went to open the door because I knew exactly who it was.

After greeting her properly, she went in and went to the kitchen with my parents and then followed me into the living room, where she was playing with Ronnie until my mom called us to go to the table.

For a moment I was terribly afraid that Dawn would start with her usual mouths, but to my surprise she didn't mention anything. After dinner, Amy insisted on going to help my mom with the dishes and as soon as my mom realized it was useless to tell her that no, they went to the kitchen.

I know that many teenagers are afraid and do not like to leave their girlfriends alone with their mothers, but that was not my case, because on the one hand Amy has known my parents for a long time and my mother has never been interfere a lot in our life. I mean, of course she does, because any parent does, but my mother knows the limits and has never crossed them with me or my sister.

After the dishes were clean and put in place, the two of them appeared at our edge in the living room and sat with us watching television. At ten o'clock my father went to help Ronnie brush his teeth and put on his pajamas because he was getting to bed and Amy also took the opportunity to leave.

- Dear, Henry told me that your parents are not here so you will stay here today. And before you come with the speech that it is not necessary and that you do not want to disturb us, let me tell you that you already have a makeshift bed in Dawn's room.- said my mother, smiling.

- Well, thanks so much for your hospitality.

- Let's go to our room, I'll give something for you to wear.- said Dawn practically dragging my girlfriend from the living room.

As it was just me and my mom in the living room and it was really getting late, I ended up going up the stairs and going to my room slowly because my dad was now telling Ronnie's story of falling asleep. I put on my pajamas and stopped on my bed, falling asleep a little after my dad left the room.

In the morning I woke up at half past eleven and as expected, there was no one at home. I went to my cell phone and saw no message from Amy but as soon as I got to the kitchen I saw two tickets on the counter by the fridge.

"Me, your dad and Ronnie have already been to STAR Labs  and Dawn went to her school... If you don't mind, be a darling at six will you get the cake from the pastry shop on the edge of our house? We love you, mom and dad."

"I didn't want to wake you up and as your mother said you always read the notes they leave you here, I decided to try it too. Good morning my love, I'll wait for you at the shopping center at two in the afternoon.- Amy".

Seeing this note from Amy left me with a smile on my face and I really have the best girlfriend in the world. As it was very close to lunchtime, I didn't even think about making breakfast. I went to the stove and prepared a pasta with chicken breast, while putting the columns in a reasonable volume.

As soon as my lunch was ready, I took a plate and served myself, taking my things to the living room, then turning on the television and starting to give CSI NY, that is, one of my favorite series. I was very excited about today, because not only do I have the opportunity to spend the afternoon with the most amazing girl in this city and its surroundings, but also because as of today, Ronnie officially becomes the new member of the Snow- Allen family.
