Phoebe burst into laughter on hearing what Amanda had to say. She walked to Amanda and grabbed her shoulder by force. "What do you take me for Amanda? Do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I'm some kid that you can fool with this stupid stories? Do you really expect me to believe that you saw two immortals? If you don't want me to know that you have a sugar daddy, it's fine but please, don't come telling me all these stories about immortals. I'm sure, soon you will tell me you have seen a witch or a floating egg. Haven't you?" Immediately Phoebe uttered the last sentence, Amanda raised her head in shock.
"How did you know I saw a floating egg? I didn't tell you about it so tell me? How do you possibly know that I saw a floating egg? Tell me Phoebe, how do you know?" She asked. Some part in her happy that perhaps she could regain Phoebe's trust.
"Exactly Amanda, that's what I said. You would make up some weird thing just to hide the truth from me wouldn't you? You know what, I won't have a liar stay with me even if she is my best friend " she said and Amanda stared at her shocked.
"What are you saying Phoebe? Are you kicking me out? Trust me, I did see a floating egg and two non humans, why don't you trust me?" Amanda asked and before she knew it, Phoebe walked out on her and went into one of the rooms to get a bag
She stared at her in shock, "You have got to be kidding me. Trust me, I don't have a sugar daddy. I was kidnapped and then ate a floating egg because I was starving and I thought it was chocolate " she tried explaining
"You know what? I believe you " Phoebe said and Amanda smiled
"You do?"
"Of course I do. What kind of friend would I be if I didn't believe you? I trust you Amanda and I know you would never lie to me " Phoebe said and Amanda embraced her
" I knew it, you would always trust me. Even if the whole world doubted me, I know you will always be by my side wouldn't you?" She asked in tears.
She felt so much relief knowing that there was actually someone who trusted her.
"Of course, I want the best for you. I'll take your bags now " Phoebe said and went to get the bags.
Amanda had expected that Phoebe would take the bag back to the room but before she knew it, she saw Phoebe walking to the door.
"Where are you going with my bags Phoebe?" She asked
" I'm taking you where you belong, a psychiatric hospital!" She said
Amanda stared at her shocked. "You must be out of your Mind, why would I need to go to a psychiatric hospital?" She asked as she rushed to get her bags from Phoebe
"Because you're out of your mind and you really need someone to check that head of yours. Tell me, what kind of human in their right senses sees a floating egg and eats it huh and then now, you have seen two immortals? Wow wow wow. You must be a great story teller AJ. In fact you are but you know, I'm not a fan of stories so it's better you tell them to the lunatics at the hospital " Phoebe said and threw the bags out.
"You know what Phoebe? I'm done explaining to you. If my best friend doesn't believe me then what use is it if you keep taking care of me? Even I don't want to stay with you anymore. I have a house, I'll go back to my house and until you're ready to trust me, maybe this friendship hasn't been true all this time " Amanda said and dragged her bags before leaving the house.
Immediately Amanda left the house, Phoebe shut the door and rested on it. "What is this? How is this possible? Amanda must never find out the truth and I could give up my life to make sure that she remains in the dark" she said.
Amanda dragged her suitcase into her apartment before going to sit on the couch. Her life was becoming a mess and no one trusted her and how could they? Even the police had refused to help her and because of this, she was sure that it was one of the top guns in town that had kidnapped her but then why would they want to kidnap her? She was sure she hadn't done anything to any of them.
She laid on the couch, she needed to get some rest and so she closed her eyes, drifting to sleep.
.
"Tell me, why do you like poking your nose where you shouldn't?" A voice asked
"What do you mean huh? I don't poke my nose because if I did, it wouldn't still be in my face" she said and burst into laughter.
He walked towards her, "Do you think it's funny?" He asked as he walked into the light where he became visible and she gasped in shock
" I have seen you before, but where? I'm sure I know you from somewhere. Please refresh my brain, where have we met?" She asked
"Of course, we haven't just met, you owe me something and not just me, you also owe Gionna something " he said and she stared at him more closely.
" I'm AJ Clarkson, the whole town knows me for something... I never owe. I would rather die than have to owe someone. Maybe you have mistaken me for someone else but then, I couldn't ever owe" she said and he looked at her very coldly, the way he looked at her, she could freeze.
"Don't act stupid. If you hadn't been so covetous then would you have eaten something you didn't know a thing about? Tell me?" He asked as he grabbed her shoulder and even though she didn't know a thing about how it felt to be touched by a man, she loved the feeling, his arms felt so strong and muscular, more similar to those of the Greek gods when they came to earth.
"The egg? Tell me, how do you know about the egg? I knew it, you weren't human. If you were human, you wouldn't know that I ate something I knew nothing about" she said
"Don't you even fear me?" He asked
"And why should I fear you? You just look handsome and muscular, more like a crush. Tell me, do you have a girlfriend? I'm interested " she said naughtily and winked
"This is serious and you are being childish. Tell me, will you return what you have taken away from Gionna or I should take it away by force?" He asked
"What kind of a freak are you? What have I taken? Don't even think of threatening me, I haven't taken anything from anyone so why should I be scared? You can't scare me" she said and shoved his hands off her shoulders.
He looked at her, " you're acting very confident are you not? This is expected of every human. They act so fearless but when it's time to actually be fearless, they chicken out but don't worry, I'm a very good lord and I'll give you a second chance, return my other half that is now in you or else you will regret it " he said and pointed his index finger at her.
She smiled before grabbing it and putting it down. "Don't ever point at me, I can also make threats but you know what, I won't. I don't owe you anything but even if I did, with your constant harrassments, I would keep it as compensation" she said and made to leave when he pulled her back to himself, hugging her from behind
"What are you doing?" She asked
"Since you won't give it back, I'll have to take it back myself " he said and flipped her hair to the other side.
She could feel his breathe on her neck and it was so hot, hotter than being locked in an oven!
