Chapter 8: I Could Get Used to This

AMANDA'S POV:

The next morning, waking up to my Mr. Cupid, glued to his face while he lays here, realizing that I have the best life right now! After talking with Antonio last night.

Antonio yawns and turns over my way. He puts his plump arms around me and smiles. "Good Morning beautiful!" He said. His beard was a bit scruffy while I kissed him on the cheek, whispering, "good morning babe."

Holding each other for a bit, enjoying this beautiful morning together, I said, "I'll cook breakfast, what would you like?" He replies, "Nothing right now, let's lay here and enjoy the moment!" He started to caress my back. This moment could not be any better for me, maybe everything is going to be okay.

We lay in bed for a while and cuddle. If this is how life is with a guy that you love deeply, I could get used to this. Then my phone suddenly rang, looking to see who it was, Melissa. I let it ring, Antonio asked who called me, I showed him my phone and the caller ID said, "Melissa." He said, "Answer it if you must." "Ahh.. I'll shoot her a text," I replied.

Texting Melissa back, "Hey, girl, what's up?" Mel texted right back, "Girl, where are you? We have a plan for you to go to an away party today." She said, "Meet me at the cafe in about an hour." I texted back. She texted and said, "okay, see you soon."

The next hour, hanging with Antonio was the best morning I've ever had, wishing this would not end, but it must. Whispering to him, "Ah, I must leave and go get a shower, I'm meeting Mel at the cafe." He replied, "you can get a shower here." As I was hugging him, I said, "Are you serious? You'd let me shower here?" "Of course, I would, why not?" He replied.

So, quickly jumping into the shower, since I'm running late to meet Mel, Antonio suddenly was in the shower with me!" My back was toward him, I turned his way, the warm water was rushing down on us, and we were making out in the shower! Loving every minute of this, letting a few moans out.

My voice got deeper and said, "I don't wanna leave." "I don't either, but I must go to work and you must meet Melissa." He replied. With the water splashing on us, Antonio put soap on my back and started to wash me, this is all so real now. "I thought."

After our shower together, we got out. I had to put the same clothes on since they were all worn here. After dressing, Antonio said, "Shoot me a text later, babe." "I'm going to talk with her then I'll text ya," I replied. We kissed, then I had to leave.

Leaving his place and walking to the cafe, since it's not far from where he stays, all I could think about was, he got me, I'm lovestruck, he is going to be my husband someday, I just know it!"

Arriving at the cafe, Mel was already there. I'm excited to tell her about my night and morning with Antonio. So walking over to her with enthusiasm, she looks at me and says, "Damn, girl, you look great! Your face is glowing, what's this all about?" Sitting across from her, I said, "Wait until you hear this, I spent the night with Antonio, we woke up together and we even got a shower together!" "You go girl, get it!" She replied.

"So what do you need to discuss with me?" I asked.

"Your going away party. Who do you want to invite?" Mel asked.

Putting my hand on my chin, thinking. I blurted out, "Antonio."

Mel replied, "who else? You can't just invite him, let's get a real girl." she laughs.

Mel starts to suggest some people, she said, "Your parents, Antonio, Me, My man, Devin from your work and Camille from your work?"

"That's fine." replied in excitement.

"Great! Now we must start to prepare for this! I'll invite everyone and you can figure out what type of food to have. Does that sound good to you?" Mel asked.

"It sounds perfect!" I said.

Once we finished planning for the party, Mel leaves. Shortly after she left, I left and went home. My parents were home, so the first thing I asked them is if we could have a going away party here? They said "yes." Knowing that they would let me.

This is all surreal now, there was nothing for me to get so frustrated about since now everything is working out in my favor! This party will be the best time to spend it with the people that I love.

Thinking to myself, "I'm sure going to miss everyone. It's getting closer and closer to the new move!

Preparing for this party that is only a day away, Antonio and I must get to the courthouse to get my passport. I must have the passport before the move to Italy, I'm not sure how long it will take for it to arrive, but It must be here by the time I leave.

While texting Antonio, my phone rings, It's Devin. Shockingly surprised that he is calling me, I did not answer his call because I had to finish my text to Antonio. I said, "Hey babe, can we go to the courthouse today to apply for my passport?"

Then, calling Devin. Devin picks up on the first ring and says, "Hello."

"Hey, it's Amanda. How are you? I wanted to give you a call to invite you to a going-away party for me!" I said.

" Oh, Yeah. I just got a text from Melissa, she asked me if I wanted to go to a going-away party for you? Devin replied.

"Can you make it? I asked Devin.

"Of course, I'll make it!" Devin replied.

"Okay great! See you then!" I said.

"Wait! Are you moving or something? Why are you moving?"

"Yes, I'm moving. I got a job offer elsewhere!" I replied.

"Are you serious? Are you sure you want to move? Where are you moving to?" He said.

Devin's texts seemed weird to me like he's trying to keep me here for some reason.
