Amanda - S01 E05 (Story Episode)

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 5

Slowly, Greg dropped the bottle and focused on his father; maybe he had not heard well, but the words had really sounded funny and so he laughed.

‘All my life, I have served this company with loyalty, commitment and dedication; you cannot take it from me, there is no one else that can run Beecroft like I do. No one else, it would crumble in two weeks should you give my position to someone else’ Greg scoffed.

‘Prove it, get married to Wendy, or you forget it’ the man repeated boldly.

‘And what if I don’t’? Greg returned.

‘I’ll give it to my other son, Nathan’ the man replied firmly and walked out of his house.

‘You cannot be serious, that bastard knows nothing about running a company’ Greg spewed angrily. He felt hurt and betrayed that his father would threaten him like that.

‘I am’ the man replied and shut the door.

‘Shit’ Greg’s face paled as he watched the car leave. He reached out for his phone and quickly texted his best friend, he was greatly confused; he had never seen his father in that mood before.

Determination and confidence were written all over his face and it terrified him to see his father that way.

The morning was bright with promises as she served her mother a breakfast of pancakes and syrup. Amanda was unusually excited as she thought of the job interview that was to come up in seven days time.

‘So how was the party’? Her mother asked.

‘Fine’ she replied coolly.

‘You returned rather early’ her mother observed.

‘Yea, I did, got a little choky in there….oh I’ll be applying for a spot to intern at Beecrofts ‘Amanda announced cheerfully.

‘That’s a huge honey, how did you hear of it’? The woman asked.

‘Alex. She got a gig from last night. I already sent an email to my school and they responded. So I’ll use one year with the company for my Industrial Training’ Amanda answered hopefully.

‘That’s a good one, you are the best ’.

‘It will work out’ she nodded her head confidently.

Her mind still strayed to the man at the party. She couldn’t wrap her head as to why he sent her such a note.

His eyes were highly penetrating; they could bore into one’s soul and as she thought about their seductive glare, her legs felt weak.

‘Why are you smiling’? Her mother had been observing her.

‘Smiling? I am not smiling’ she grinned.

‘Yes you were, tell me about it’ the woman was curious.

‘Nothing. I am just so excited about this job, I want everything to work out perfectly’ she replied.

‘Okay, if you say so’ the woman chuckled. Her daughter wasn’t a very good liar and it was written clearly on her face that she wasn’t willing to share whatever was on her mind.

Amanda focused on her meal and the thoughts of the stranger kissing her again; the buzzing of her phone shut the thoughts out, Alex had sent her a text.

ALEX: Hi hun, how are you?

AMANDA: Morning, happy, you?

ALEX: More than happy. Guess what?

AMANDA: You know I am not very good at guessing.

ALEX: I had the best sex of my life and this guy turns out to be an asset.

AMANDA: Really?

ALEX: Yea, coincidentally, he works with the Beecroft Softwares Empire; he is friends with the C.E.O, Greg Beecroft.

AMANDA: Wow that’s really nice.

ALEX: Aii, I have to go now, he’s out of the bathroom.

AMANDA: Whatever. Love. You.

‘You like someone, you’re have a crush’ her mother scanned her face briefly.

‘Mum’! Amanda protested with a laugh.

‘Come on darling, tell me about him’ the woman pressed on.

‘There is nothing to tell because there is no one’ Amanda smiled and sipped the hot chocolate from the mug.

‘Who was that’? Morgan asked as he stepped out of the bathroom. He had met Alex at the party and they’d clicked instantly. They had exchanged numbers and had decided to meet up later.

As they had made small talk the night before; Morgan had briefly mentioned that he worked with Beecroft and they were hiring.

‘Amanda, remember? I told you she could use a job’ Alex replied.

‘Okay…I do remember her. I really have to go now’ Morgan announced.

‘Really’? Alex pouted her lips as she stared at the blond.

‘Yes, Greg sent me a text, it’s definitely work related. So we’ll do this some other time but in a classy restaurant, over some good food and wine’? Morgan climbed the bed and planted a kiss on her face.

‘Are you asking me on a date’? Alex grinned and chuckled.

‘Call it whatever you want darling, but I really enjoyed your company’ his hands encircled her creamy boobs.

‘Hey, you better hurry, else you’d be late for work’ Alex laughed and pushed his hands away.

‘Alright, stay cool, goodbye now’ he blew her a kiss and trotted out of their hotel room.

‘You too’ Alex murmured in a shaky voice. This was the first guy she had really connected with since her break up with her last boyfriend.

She was unsure of what she felt but this was sure, thinking about him brought butterflies to her tummy and she couldn’t help but wonder what it was.

‘It’s just the sex. He is very good in bed’ she thought aloud.
