Amanda - S01 E17 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 17

Amanda was about to argue with her for taking sides when there was a soft knock on the door.

‘Should be the doctor, you’re getting out today’ Alex moved to check.

‘Hello there…’ she trailed off as she stood facing a very hot guy.

‘I am here to see Amanda’ he replied holding a bouquet of flowers.’ Hi’

‘Oh? You’re Nathan right’? Alex widened the door; he was the guy that had hit her friend.

‘Yea, Nathan and I am so sorry about what happened’ he replied.’ your friend moved so fast,I didnt see her on time’.

‘Its okay, come on in’ Alex led him in.

‘Nathan’? Amanda recognized his face, this was the guy she had met at the club.

‘Amanda, you remember me’? He felt excited as she called his name. She looked tired but still beautiful.

‘Of course I remember you’! How could she forget those green eyes.

‘Wait, you two know each other’? Alex was lost.

‘Yes, we met at the club’ Nathan said.

‘Oh’ a sly smile touched Alex’s lips. She had finally got her answers, Nathan was hot enough to sweep any woman off her feet and her friend was not an exception; she had finally found the guy Amanda was crushing on.

She stole a glance at them and decided that they were perfect for each other.

‘How are you feeling now Amanda’? He dropped the flowers close to her bed.

‘Never better, thanks for the flowers Nathan’ she offered him a smile, the kind that raced his heart.

How could one person be blessed by so much beauty? He took in her sea blue eyes; their color were ever clear and seducing; her lips were plump, ready for the kissing and her nose was straight and sharp but that wasn’t what drew him to her.

It was the color of her hair; it was the pale golden of her curls; he took a liking to blondes, just like the ones his brother had dated.

‘Anything for you princess, so what were you up to that day’? He had seen her running out of Beecroft.

‘Um, nothing important. I was just running…’ she stuttered.

‘Oh, I see. I heard you were getting out today’ Nathan added.

‘Yea. How did you know’? She asked.

‘Dr. Walsh told me, he’s our family doctor’ Nathan replied. He was so happy to sit by her side; he was happy to have a discussion with this goddess, he needed more.

‘Yea’ She lowered her eyes

Alex wondered if Amanda was falling for Nathan already. For some reason her mind kept going to Greg, she was sure he would never approve of this liason. She sensed a conflict was coming.

‘Um, I really have to go now, can I have your number, maybe we could talk some time’ Nathan reached out for his buzzing phone, Trudy was calling.

‘That wouldn’t be a problem’ she took his phone and typed in her number.

‘Thanks, See you later princess’ he caressed her hair gently and walked out of the room.

‘Bye Nathan’ Amanda smiled, feeling somehow glad that she had a friend. There was something about Nathan that she liked; he seemed so simple and down to earth; she wished all men were like him and not perverts and brutes like Greg.

‘Wow, he is such a cutie’ Alex winked.

‘Focus! Thats not important now’ Amanda rolled her eyes, from the look on her friend’s face, she knew what was coming next.

‘I see, you never told me about that guy, that you met at the club’ Alex spoke of Nathan.

‘Of course I did! The one that wrote be the obscene note’ Amanda ignored her.

‘Really? Well, If you ask me, Nathan is a nice guy; good looking and he seems romantic; just look at the flowers he brought you. Why did you have to keep him from me Mandy’? Alex fetched a rose and inhaled it.

‘Nathan means nothing to me; I just met the guy at the club, we literally bumped into each other, said a few words and that was all. His hitting me is a complete co-incidence’ Amanda explained.

‘Really Mandy’? Alex glared at her.

‘Yes! What do you want me to say’? Amanda was getting frustrated.

‘Okay, Amanda Atkins, I think you’re set to go home’ Dr. Walsh sauntered into the room.

‘Good morning Dr. Walsh’ she grinned excitedly. She had missed home, she had missed her mother.

‘Morning Ms.’ The doctor examined her legs for a few minutes and decided she was fit to go.

‘Thank you Doctor’ Amanda was grateful for his kind words.

‘Welcome, take it easy’ he patted her shoulder and walked out of the hospital.

Thirty minutes later, Alex was driving her back to the house.

Amanda couldn’t help but ponder on her friend’s words; now she was well, she needed to get another job and finding a good one wasn’t going to be easy. She would try waitressing again if she needed to.

‘No’ she murmured, she would never apologize to Greg Beecroft, he deserved what he had been served.

‘What’s that’? Alex turned to her.

‘Nothing’ Amanda replied and stepped out of the car.

‘Mandy! My baby is back’ Mrs. Atkins wheeled on the romp towards the car.

‘Mom, how I have missed you’ she hugged and kissed the woman.

‘I miss you too baby’ she kissed her mother on the cheek.

‘Alright Mandy, see you later’ Alex waved them goodbye and drove off; she had a dinner date with Morgan.

‘Are you okay mother’? Amanda noticed her mother looked gloomy.

‘Our electricity bill is due and the water bill too. They are gonna cut us off tomorrow’ the woman replied grimly.

‘What!?’ Amanda’s face fell. She had completely forgotten about that. She didn’t have much money left in her account; she was dazed and confused. What was she going to do?
