Nick did not have to tell her of his where about as she in some way could make an exact conclusion to where Nick would actually be. As far as one knows or can tell definitely that Nick would be spending his time with Mikael. It was not like before where Nick would be looking forward to spending his time with her. Smoldering her love, lust and passion. During school earlier that day, she had tried effortlessly to find Nick around the school ground, but she was not as successful, though Nick had made himself to the like of the magician Houdini and disappeared into thin air. Her endless call made to him through his hand phone, was either ignored or it went to his voice mail, where eventually was deliberately switched off. Amy felt, unmanly of Nick to just ignore her and deserted her for Mikael. She was pretty sure that Nick was with Mikael and she felt jealous of how Nick and Mikael had grown closer with time. For whatever reason Nick had given her, she would always have that sense of doubt of its sincerity. She had suspected that, this was going to happen, as all the secrets that she might have already known, that it seems she was not loved by Nick anymore. What was it for that Nick made her to feel like this, after everything that she had done. Her tears flowed on her delicate cheeks as she brings back the memories in her mind of everything that had happened between her and Nick and all her sacrificed was only for Nick. As of the time, she had developed that feeling of anger and disgust towards Mikael. She was with certainty known of what Mikael was trying to do with Nick. She had guessed from the day that Mikael sexuality was being exposed, Mikael had tried very hard to have Nick to love him back. Only the truth will prevail in due cause, but for now she would not want to question Mikael, for it will, without doubt, would make Nick feel angry with her. For a few strong moments, without doubt, she was ecstatically happy when she found out that Mikael was dating Drake. She was pretty obvious in showing Mikael her support and happiness for the both of them. For once, she had believed that she could have Nick for herself without Mikael lurking behind or standing close by Nick all the time. That was the best time she had with Nick and the sex between them was full of passion and lust. She freakishly loves it so much. Nick was sure did make her feel like a woman. But all of it had in a way that was likely to have a strong or far-reaching effect of changed, when Mikael broke up with Drake and with Nick being there in person to witness it when it all happened. Nick had from personal observation of all the sadness and the anger of Mikael because of Drake, he got to do the consoling of Mikael that time over the break up and brokenhearted as much as Mikael needed. Nick was all there for Mikael to lean on for comfort and pity as much as possible in Nick tender loving care. She had seen the changes in Nick behavior towards Mikael lately and they seemed to get closer than ever before. It was true that Nick and Mikael had their moment of conflicts and confrontation before, but lately all things had changed with them seems to be alright and fine with each other. She had also noticed that Nick had spent more time sleeping over at Mikael house and he was more happy and chirpy than when he was with her. What is really fucking going on here? Basically, some of the blame in a way that is not in a direct way, putting on herself too. The last time, when Nick had suggested for them to do a group study for the exam together, she had declined him and went with Sandra and her other girlfriends for the group study, leaving Nick alone with Mikael. That opportunity was not ignored by Nick and he took that moment being alone with Mikael in trying to rekindle the friendship and more with their feeling for each other. Since her time, then she spends with Nick, had dwindled to an occasional meet up once or twice a week, not even when they were in school. Nick was kind of avoiding her in every possible way, like the school hallway, he can be seen diverting his route and walked the other way or ignoring her at the cafeteria by not sitting beside her, but Nick was sitting beside Mikael. She only got the once a while glance and short conversation, where else Nick and Mikael will be laughing and bantering with each other. The rest of the day Nick would be spending his time with Mikael. Even then Nick and she was not so romantically inclined, physically, as much as she had wanted liking at the beginning of their courtship. It was more of pecks of kisses, went out for a non romantic dinner and watching movies without any intimacy. Nick always gave that expression of being force when he was out with her. Was his mind was ever in its place when he was with her, as he looked kind of, off moping away all the time. It felt as though she was going out more with a friend than a boyfriend. What frustrated her the most, while they were out together, Nick was looking and texting on his hand phone most of the time and when she did ask with whom he was texting too, he just told her it was just a friend and yet she knew who was that friend is. She did not have to be a genius to make the correct guess. She always wondered what was he texting, as he would be seen occasionally smiling, sometimes even giggling as though the wording of the text was tickling him. Amy was not ever going to take it off. No, she was not going to take it anymore. She felt exceptionally angry and expressing distress and annoyance resulting from an inability to change or do something about Nick and Mikael. In her mind, she knew she had to do something far-reaching effect; radical and maybe extreme. She needed some help as fast as possible, before it was too late. She basically knew to whom she had to go to for help and she was highly confident that person will definitely help her in getting Nick's back into her life. It was a quiet Saturday mid-morning. She needed to do now. She took her hand phone, scrolled her phone list and pressed the number to call. It was after a few rings, the other person had picked up the phone. "Hello?" Amy immediately began to sob when she heard the voice of Nick's mother, Emily, on the other side of the line. Amy believed that she was the only person in Nick's family would understand her predicament. For being a woman and a mother to her boyfriend. "Amy, What is wrong honey? Why are you crying?" Nick's mother sounding alarmed and panicking for a moment when she heard Amy sobbing. "It's Nick." Amy tried talking in her sobs. It was her only way to ever get Emily's attention. She knew that Emily will definitely listen and helped her in her quest to get her man's back. "Okay. Tell me what's wrong with Nick now. " Emily's got annoyed to know what Nick had done to Amy and she was drilling Amy for an answer. "Can I talk to you personally please. Instead of me telling you on the phone, " Amy was pleading while still sobbing through the phone. "Sure honey. Why do not you come by the house for some tea and we can have the private talk, just between you and me." Nick's mother had suggested to Amy. "But for you to know that Nick was not home at the moment, though, and his father was out with a friend playing golf at the club house." She elaborated in detail. "That will be alright as I just want to talk to you." Amy stated to Emily, who agreed to wait on her in her house. Once they had hung up the phone, Amy immediately gets dressed and went out of her house and walked towards Nick's house. It only took her about fifteen minutes and she was already there standing by the front of the door. She pressed the door bell a few times and waited. The sound of the door clicking as the door knob being turned. It opened slowly as the views of Nick's mother became visible as she was standing on the other side of the door. When Amy saw her, she lunged herself to Nick's mother and hugged her tight as she cried harder than before on Emily's shoulder. Emily looked stunned and was greatly surprised by Amy action and she was not sure how to respond or react to that outburst of emotion from Amy at that moment. But after a while she hugged Amy back and tried as much as possible to calm her down by rubbing Amy's back gently. "Why do not you come in first and we can talk over tea and cookies." Emily had pulled Amy into the house and ushered her to the dining table and sat Amy down on one of the plush imported chairs. Prompting Amy to stay there while she called out to the housekeeper to make the tea and brought in some cookies from the kitchen for both Amy and herself. Once they got situated, Emily had asked Amy to tell her what was on her mind and to tell her everything. Amy told her what had happened during the vacation trip and what was she concerned about the close relationship that had developed between Nick and Mikael. Not forgetting, she also did tell Nick's mother of her anger and frustration towards Nick and Mikael. For once, she did really out poured her emotions to Nick's mother, sympathetically and asked for Emily to understand. All the time, while Amy was talking, Emily had nodded her head coupled of times, nothing to Amy that she was listening and understand. She had pitied with what was happening to Amy with what was going between her son and Mikael. She eagerly wanted to help Amy as she did like her that much that she will do anything to help Amy. In her mind, Amy was a sweet and kind sort of girl. Her immediate response in approving of Nick courting Amy since the beginning, was an indication, of how happy she was about them being together. Amy was in time was able to wormed herself in to Nick's mothers heart. "Look here, Amy. Try not to worry so much. I will help you and I know what I should have done a long time ago. Let me handle everything. What I need from you is to do and acknowledge what I am doing and going to say." Emily was assuring Amy that she would be helping her, more of a motherly way of thinking. With all said by Nick's mother, Emily, Amy felt elated and pleased as she knew as of that moment she had Nick's motherly words and the backing and Nick will be back with her in no time soon. Will she triumphs in her quest to get Nick or it will backfire her. Only GOD knows! @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ I have created a mailing list.
