Sunday morning came quicker than I expected.
Dwight had already left for work, he had samples to collect on Breakpoint reef. The team wanted to detect, if there were any changes in a particular group of organisms.
To be more specific, he said, stony corals; pillar corals and brain corals.
°°°°
I sat at the kitchen counter, trying to decide who to call. I needed someone to serve Matthew the temporary restraining order.
Racking my brain, I called Fiona. She answered on the third ring.
" Hey what's up?"
"Hey, I went to the court house yesterday, I finally did it."
"HOW COULD YOU DO IT AND NOT TELL US." She shouted in the phone, I had to move it from my ear.
" What are you talking about Fi, I told you AND the girls on Friday."
"YOU DIDN'T TELL US THAT?"
"What are you talking about Fi, I know....I told you guys. I know you're young, but your memory can't be that bad."
She was silent for a little bit, I'm guessing was trying to remember.
"Omg, I thought you got married and didn't tell us." She burst out laughing.
I was now annoyed. "Its not funny Fi, you know I would tell you guys."
"True, but for a moment there, I just thought that you did it and didn't tell us, I'm sorry."
"You're forgiven. Anyway, I called because I wanted to ask Dom if he can maybe....do me a favour."
"Sure, he'll do it." She answered immediately.
"Fi, you need to ask him first." I blew out a breath I didn't know I was holding.
"DOM, AMELIA IS ASKING FOR A FAVOUR."
She shouted in the phone, didn't even bother moving it from her mouth.
" He said sure."
"Thanks Dom and thank you for not shouting in my ear again Fi."
I continued on..
"I need him to serve Matthew the papers. All he has to do is deliver them and ensure that Matthew receives them. Plus,fill out a Proof of Personal Service, so I can file it with the court."
"Ok, I'll tell him." She asked this time, calmly. I was grateful because my ear couldn't take anymore of her shouting.
"Can he do it today?" I quickly added.
"He said yes, but not until 3:00pm." She said.
"Thank you, I'll be here so...he can pick up the papers when hes ready."
"No problem girl. So.....what's up?"
"I almost had sex friday night." I told her.
"WHAT!" She shouted.
"Yes." I said it so confidently, I felt so bold today.
"So, tell me the details. How was it, is he big?" She was filled with so much enthusiasm at this point.
"Calm down, it didn't happen, he stopped it before we got to do anything. The most we did was kiss." Much to my disappointment.
"That's a bummer, well God knows why it didn't happen. It wasn't the right time, plus we were all drunk." I was in shock, this is coming from Fi.
"He said the same thing, he needs me to be sober when we have sex. As you said, the timing wasn't right."
We talked for an hour about multiple things. Th main topic though, was her engagement. Mind you, she is not engaged. She thought Dom was going to propose because she found a ring in one of his socks.
We ended the conversation on a happy note, I told her to pretend she never saw it and that she must act surprised when he does pop the question. Also, giving her the address to Dwight's apartment, so she could pass it to Dom.
After the phone call, I cleaned the apartment and did the laundry. I was now bored, so I surfed the internet for shoes.
A knock sounded at the door. I got up from the couch and walked towards it. I lifted the cover from the peephole to see who it was. Seeing that it was Dom, I opened the door.
"Hi Dom."
"Hey, Amelia. I can't stay long, I have work in an hour and..50 minutes." He said while looking at his watch.
"No problem, I won't keep you. Do you think you can serve it to him and come back here, before you due at work?" I asked, rushing my words, trying not to keep him longer than expected.
"Sure, if he's there, I can be there and back in an hour, with 50 minutes to spare." He said.
I gave him the papers and thanked him for doing me this favour.
"I'll call you when its delivered."
"Thanks again Dom."
He left. My phone ran 30 minutes later.
"Hello?" I answered, my anxiety now taking over and my nerves shot.
"Its delivered, I'll be there soon to fill out the papers."
I didn't get the chance to respond, he hung up. Just as he said he was there and back in an hour. He knocked again and I opened, he came in and I lead him to the kitchen counter, so that he could fill out the form and go.
Form filled out, I placed it back into the folder, then placed the folder into the safe. I thanked Dom once more before he left.
I called Dwight, I wanted to update him on everything that went on, but it kept going to voicemail, so I left a short message.
I set the phone down and made a snack. I didnt bother cooking dinner, Dwight said he would take me out tonight.
We were going to La Peir 21. An ocean front restuarant, perched on the tip of a steep cliff, over looking magnificent blue waters, which takes your breath away.
The site is so mesmerizing when the sun sets over the ocean. I couldn't wait, this would be our first date.
I wanted to look my best, so I decided I would start getting ready. Walking into the bathroom my phone rang. I ran out, trying to reach it before it stopped ringing. Just in the knick of time, I answered.
"Hey."
"Lia, sorry I missed your call. Just got back. We got the samples we needed and I should be there in another hour or so."
"I'm so excited, this will be our first date." I said with much excitement.
"Me too hun, see you soon."
"See you soon." Repeating what he said then I hung up.
I set the phone down again, walking away it rang. Turning around to pick it up and answer, not bothering to look at the caller ID. Thinking that it might be Dwight again. I answered, my voice filled with delight.
"Hello."
The voice that came after....took me by surprise, for I never expected to hear from him.
"YOU BITCH!"
I let out a gasp, OMG....Matthew.
