Dead in the Water
How Do You Do That?
(Amanda's POV)
"Amanda, what is it baby? What happened?" Martin said sitting up and rubbing my back to calm me.
"Ian. It's not Elissa. It's me. He kills me." I manage to say.
"Hey, it is just a dream." Martin said. "Ian can't hurt you unless you let him." Martin reiterated to me.
I was starting to shake and was scared. This wasn't like me. Why was I jumpy about this? Martin was right. It was only a dream.
"Amanda, it is ok. I'm here. You are here with me. Hey, its going to be all right." He said wrapping his arms around me making me feel safe.
I turned my head to face him. "You are crying." He said wiping a tear from my eyes.
"I have something to tell you. I wanted to tell you earlier but I didn't know how." I said as he shushed me with a kiss.
"How do you do that?" I asked smiling as he began to kiss my neck.
"Do what?" He stopped for a minute grinning.
"You have a way of making me feel calm." I said smiling again.
"Do I, now?" He said moving back up to my lips.
"You are so not being fair right now." I said returning his kisses.
"Now, what was it you wanted to say to me?" He asked.
I turned around completely to face him. "Martin, I lied to you earlier. I saw someone on that roof." I said not sure how he was going to take this.
"Ok, who was it?" He asked concerned.
"Micah. He is in town." I said.
"Oh, so that is why you were so quiet and worried about earlier?" He asked.
"Yes. You aren't mad at me?" I asked.
"No. Why would I be?" Martin asked.
"Well, he was an ex of mine and you know how that went." I replied.
"What does he want? Let me guess, he came to see about you because you are no longer under his spell. Did I guess right?" Martin said.
"I think someone is jealous." I said smiling.
"Who? Me? Nah." Martin said grinning. "Why am I jealous when I am the one who has a smart and beautiful girl with me and he doesn't?" Martin added.
"You do have a point there." I said laughing as he pulled me down on the bed and leaned over me.
"You are still worried about him though?" Martin asked sensing my feelings.
"He touched me and sent shivers down my spine and did that temporary paralyzing thing. He wants me or my sister. I can't let that happen. I have to get Pete and Elissa back together pronto. She can't fall back in love with him." I said.
"I see. I can do it better." Martin said.
"Huh? I don't understand." I said confused.
"I can make you shiver in more ways than one." Martin whispered in my ear as he touched and caressed every inch of me.
"I think I have the better deal." I said pulling him on top of me.
"Thank you, Martin." I said as we stared into each others' eyes.
"I will always be here for you. Now get back to sleep. It is almost four am." Martin laughed to which I rolled my eyes at.
Martin climbed off me and I snuggled close to him. Martin set his alarm so that I could get up and head back to my apartment to change later. I told Frank I would visit Nonnie and well, I couldn't go in her hospital room wearing the clothes I had on from earlier.
After we got back to being snuggled in, Martin leaned over to kiss me. My eyes slowly closed. The next thing I knew, I had felt two puncture marks on my neck. I let out a slight gasp and fell back unconcious.
