"Oh, it feels good to be back home," Alex said as they climbed up the stairs leading to his front porch.
Amanda smiled rolling her eyes. "You are only saying that because you-"
"Alex!" They heard a voice shouting, they both turned round to see the one and only Karen walking towards them in anger.
Alex sighed. "Oh no, this is definitely not what I need at the moment." He muttered.
Amanda looked confused. "Who's that?" She asked.
"Karen," he said simply and gave a slight shudder.
She crossed the street, her palms in a tight fist, a frown on her face, her white hair was packed in a tight bun. Though the look on her face reminded Alex of his worst nightmare but still, Alex couldn't help the laughter that bubbled in his throat. 'Karen' was a short woman, she reminded him of a funny meme he had seen last week, which had compared short people to soldier ant.
"What do
"So, my mum wants to meet you," Alex said quickly walking out of the kitchen.Amanda eyes widened then she spit out the water she was just about to swallow. "What?" She asked running out of the kitchen."Bleh." Alex shrugged."This isn't a 'Bleh' moment Alex," she walked over to him, stopping him before he could run of the house. "I thought your mum was in Canada.""Yeah...""And?""Well, she found out I had a girlfriend and wanted us to come visit-""Uh, she wants us to...""Yeah, but I told her we couldn't because of my work, and she said fine."Amanda sighed in relief. "Ok good, that's good news.""She said fine, she will come over," he finished."Are you messing with me?" Amanda asked, Alex shook his head. "Why are you just telling me this Alex? When is she coming over?"Alex ga
"What do you mean your mother isn't visiting again?" Amanda shouted sitting up. She had been laying on his chest playing with the small chest hair when he had just told her the news.Alex sat up confused. "Why do you sound so surprised? I told you this yesterday.""No Alex you didn't," she said getting out of the bed, only dressed in her underwear. "I would remember if you did Alex, why didn't you tell me this before... Shit!""Before what?" Alex asked confused. He was confused because Amanda had been the one who seemed really nervous on his mother's visit and now she seemed upset by the news, he had been expecting her to rejoice.Amanda sighed turning to face him. "I bought a dress Alex.""You bought a dress? Uh... Good for you?" He said unsure.She palmed her head and sighed. "No Alex, I bought a freaking expensive dress to please your mother and now she isn't even going to show h
"I have nothing to say to them Eric," Amanda said as she watched the dishes. "How did they find you by the way?" She asked. Eric said he hadn't been heard anything about the Vegas, her mother's family, after they kicked her out."I still don't know," Eric's voice spoke from the speaker. "But they appeared here yesterday, surprising me myself, demanding they see their grandchildren," he said."Demanding?" Amanda scoffed. "Have they gone cuckoo? What gives them the right to demand? As long as I'm concerned I have no grandparents. Have you spoken to the girls about it?" She asked."I have told Amanda, she refused to see them, I'm yet to tell Elena," He said, referring to Rebecca as Amanda."Well, what did they expect? That they would just show up demanding for us and we'll gladly welcome them with open arms?" she gave a short laugh in disbelief. "The next time they show their face tell them they should go suck on a dic
Alex walked towards the door to answer it, someone had been pressing the doorbell, he had been ignoring it, hoping the person would leave, but no, some people were just too stubborn.Alex opened the door without asking for who it was, he was met with a dark haired man, he had many tattoo drawing on his arms, an overgrown beard and when he opened his mouth to speak, the scent of alcohol mixed with what Alex suspect was probably illegal hit his nose. He was not bad looking, actually he was very good looking and if he tried, his appearance wouldn't stop people from approaching him."I'm looking for Amanda?" He said. Alex's wondered what business he had with Amanda, he knew all of Amanda's friends, which were very few actually and he had never met him."Who's looking for me?" Amanda had just been passing by when she had heard the voice ask for her."Uh..." Alex didn't know his name."Raphael," the man s
"Hey mum," Alex greeted, his feet up at his desk as he enjoyed the pleasure of having his own office. Now he had his own personal parking spot, a secretary, and most of all privacy. Now he and Martins could talk for hours without Ross interrupting, though Alex was happy, he really missed staying close to Martins, the two had become really good friends overtime."Hey darling, how is the new office?" She asked. Alex could hear the honking of horns in the background and guessed she probably might be on the road.Alex sighed in joy. "It's really great," he said. "You know...in my own space doing my own thing," he said in a fake British accent."Your own thing? Since when did you have a 'thing'. Also why the funny accent?"He scratched the back of his neck. "No reason, it's just something Amanda does when we... Uh, when we...""Yeah Alex I get what you mean, but just leave the accent to Amand
"How do you see us in the future Alex?" Amanda asked as she laid on the bed, using her elbows as support, looking at Alex, who was laying on his back staring up at the ceiling."How I see us in the future?" Alex said.She nodded her head. "Before I met you, I had another image set up for my future, kinda darker. But with you here, it has gotten a lot better."Alex smiled. "What 'image' did you have before you met me?"She raised an eyebrow giving him a side smile. "You really wanna know?"He laughed. "Yeah, come on tell me, it can't be that bad.""Ok, well, I see myself in..."*****PRISONThe women sat in the cafeteria, some banging their fist on the table every once in a while trying to get attention, some busy doing sexual acts with their partner under the food stained tables, others were sitting by themselves timidly, some looki
We first got a look at Amanda Walters during the event where she 'accidentally' ran into Alex. Our first thought on Amanda was mischievous, cunny, sharp-mouthed, and beautiful, but we sure as hell didn't expect her to steal Alex's bicycle and grandma's necklace, which she held on to for a really long time.One thing we should all know about Amanda is that she cherish friends and families more than anything else—though she doesn't have much or any friends, the book didn't really show that side—Amanda was willing to go back for Alex, when she heard he was first willing to help her when Torento had her.Amanda had a really rough childhood, we didn't see much concerning her stay in her foster parents house, but judging by the rags Jason found her putting on and the fact that she did run away, shows that she wasn't receiving the best treatment.We also admire Amanda's quick thinking, the whole escape when Terry ca
My plan for Alex Oliver was to make him as simple as the next man beside us. Alex wasn't hot—he was cute. Alex didn't have any flashy cars—he had a bicycle. He wasn't the CEO of any billionaire company, just a normal twenty seven year old doing his normal stuff.While I didn't really dive much into his past, or the ex girlfriend—who, was actually supposed to show up at some point in the book, but then, I brought out Raphael—but we can all tell Alex Oliver is a momma boy, being so close to his mother made him so thoughtful and respectful towards women, which was why he never told Karen. "Fuck off!"While Amanda is on the Libra side, Alex is a Cancer ♋. He is quite emotional and always looking for true love, Alex is very caring and can also be quiet naive. He loves cuddles, but also love his own personal space, though Alex lacked a little bit of confidence, this was why it took him years to get close to Martins and Stac
