Lustful Desire Chapter 44.
Amelia's POVNot wanting to disturb Mom, I walked out of her hospital room, shutting the door close gently behind me. I began to pace the hospital corridor, wrestling with my thoughts and frantically wondering what to do. Do I call Eddie? Or Mr James? What do I say when he picks up? How do I say that I want the job I had rejected even after being begged back? Why can't I say I want it back? After all, it had been Eddie who rejected me first. He had said to Mr. James, in my sight, I may add, that he did not want me to work for him? I kept pacing, while nurses, doctors and even patients stared at me with weird eyes as they walked past me. I was certain that I was a sight to behold with my sweatpants, tank top, messy hair, talking to my phone while pacing up and down. The weight of my dilemma pressed down on me like a physical force, each step echoing the turmoil raging within me. My mind raced with a million questions, each one more daunting than the last. How had I found myself

Amelia's POV"I love you too Mom," I said as I leaned forward and placed my forehead against hers. We both closed our eyes, content to just remain there and bask in each other's presence for a while. I spent about an hour more with Mom, chatting and just talking. She started yawning and trailing off and u knew she was exhausted again. I tucked her into bed, kissed her forehead and left the hospital room. As I drifted passively down the corridor, my phone started ringing. I checked it and saw that it was Blaire. I picked up the call. "Amelia," she sounded out of breath. "So sorry I'm just calling now. I was called into an emergency surgery. Thankfully, it was short.""It's okay," I said as I tucked one hand into my pocket and looked down towards my shoes. "I already guessed it would be something like that.""Are you okay?" She quietly asked. I breathed in deeply as I contemplated her question. Was I okay? I could not answer the question so I just said, "Mom and Dad have both give

Amelia’s POV Once we arrived, Blaire wasted no time in raiding her wardrobe, pulling out an array of outfits that she insisted would "knock Eddie's socks off." With her skilled hands, she worked her magic, transforming me from a nervous wreck into a vision of confidence and poise."Voilà!" Blaire exclaimed triumphantly, stepping back to admire her handiwork. "You look stunning, Amelia."I glanced at myself in the mirror, hardly recognizing the polished figure staring back at me. "Thank you, Blaire," I murmured, overwhelmed by her kindness.With a final flourish, Blaire applied a touch of makeup and styled my hair into an elegant updo, the finishing touches to my newfound transformation.As we made our way back to the car, Blaire flashed me a reassuring smile. "You've got this, Amelia. Just be yourself and remember why you're doing this."The thought of returning to work for Eddie filled me with a mix of apprehension and resolve. Despite the doubts gnawing at the edges of my mind, I k

Amelia's POVThere was a terse silence as Eddie did not respond to my statement. Instead, he stared at me until I began to feel so self-conscious that I could barely ignore the urge to cover my face with my hands. I leaned forward slightly as I called his name. "Eddie?"He blinked shortly and rapidly as though he was snapping out of a trance. He shook his head slowly, a wry smile on his face. "Oh, right, yeah. Sorry about that.""It's okay," I replied softly, still unable to believe that there I was, sitting primly with my hands clasped together and my legs also properly crossed in front of Eddie. Eddie, the guy that I had loved for several years. The man who had dumped me unceremoniously just because his parents had not approved of me and our relationship. Eddie, the man who had broken my heart into several small pieces, leaving it that small, damaged, and unrepairable mess that it currently was. As I looked at him, I could not help but remember how I had been in so much pain aft

Amelia's POVThe flickering flame from the stovetop danced on the nervous beads of sweat forming on Eddie's forehead. He held a spatula in one hand, the metal slightly warped from the heat, and a pan in the other, filled with a questionable brown concoction."Are you sure you have this under control, Eddie?" I asked, my voice laced with a hint of amusement and a touch of concern.He forced a smile, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Of course, babe. Just making your favorite, creamy garlic pasta."I raised an eyebrow, peering into the pan. It didn't resemble anything close to creamy garlic pasta. It was more of a brownish-black mess, with the distinct aroma of burnt garlic stinging my nostrils.A puff of smoke billowed out from the pan, causing the fire alarm to blare its piercing shriek. Eddie jumped back, dropping the spatula with a clatter.Oh, come on!" he exclaimed, throwing his hands up in the air in frustration.We scrambled to open windows and fan out the smoke, the blaring

Amelia's POVDespite the abundance of equipment, the pantry was surprisingly bare. There were a few cans of vegetables, some pasta, and a half-empty bag of cheese. My initial anxiety morphed into a determined challenge.With Chloe perched on a stool, swinging her legs and chattering excitedly, I set to work. I whipped up a simple yet delicious tomato and mozzarella pasta, using my knowledge of flavor profiles and improvisation to compensate for the limited ingredients.As the aroma of cooked pasta and melted cheese filled the air, Eddie and Chloe watched in fascination. By the time I presented the dish, their eyes were wide with anticipation.Chloe took one bite and her eyes lit up. "Wow, Amelia! This is yummy!"Eddie followed suit, his expression mirroring hers. "Amelia, this is incredible. Where did you learn to cook like this?"He smacked his head. "Stupid question. You're a chef!"Chloe giggled, still enthusiastically digging into the food.A warmth spread through me, fueled by th

Eddie's POVWe stood there in an uncomfortable silence, the clinking of dishes from the kitchen filling the air. I wanted to bridge the gap that was between us, to express how much I regretted everything, but the words wouldn't come. The fear of rejection, of pushing her further away, made me keep quiet.I wanted to apologize, to express my gratitude for her willingness to be a part of Chloe's life, yet the words seemed to get stuck in my throat."Thank you," I finally managed, the words tumbling out awkwardly. "For everything. For Chloe, for..." I trailed off, unable to find the words. Amelia met my gaze, her eyes filled with a mixture of understanding and maybe I was imagining it, but I thought I could also see the longing in her expression as she stared at me. We stood there for a while and without even thinking twice about it, I moved closer to her and slowly slid my arm around my waist. She breathed out softly as I drew her closer and planted my lips on hers...The kiss... it w

Eddie's POVWatching Amelia disappear into the dimly lit hallway, a wave of clashing, intense emotions washed over me.Disappointment was mixed with a flicker of hope, which had been brought on by the explosive kiss we had shared. I rubbed my fingers over my lips slightly, unable to get the memory of her lips, taste and smell off my mind.Stop acting like a pervert, I scolded myself as I tore my fingers off my lips and started the ignition.As I pulled away from the curb, my mind flashed back to a different time, a memory that had been long buried but then was suddenly brought up again by what had happened that night.I was back in college, the scent of freshly brewed coffee and warm pastries filling the air of the small bakery where Amelia proudly introduced me to her new part-time job. Her eyes sparkled as she described the intricate art of crafting artisan bread and whimsical pastries, her voice bubbling with infectious enthusiasm."Just imagine, Eddie," she'd said, her fingers tra
