Dead in the Water
A Long And Restless Night
(Amanda's POV)
I went into the bathroom and closed the door. I sat down on the floor once I changed into a tank top and some bottoms. Maybe I was just over reacting. I knew Martin wouldn't bite me on purpose and even if he did, I shouldn't be worried because here I am still breathing. I guess tomorrow morning I should call him.
There was a knock on the door. "Hey, when you are ready, I fixed the guest room up from where Patrick and Jenny had stayed." Pete said through the door.
"Ok. Thanks!" I replied sighing.
I opened the door and took my bag down to the guest room. "It can get cold in this room so Jenny kept telling me so I put an extra blanket down just in case as I made it." Pete said.
"You are sweet, you know that?" I said kissing his cheek as I climbed into bed.
"Night." Pete said turning off the light.
"Night." I said back.
At first I just laid there tossing and turning. My mind was on Martin. I missed being in his arms. I missed kissing him and hearing him sing me to sleep. I wondered what he was doing.
Was he still talking to Paul? Had Paul left so Martin could sleep? Was Martin thinking of me? I left him confused I am sure.
I got up and grabbed my phone out of the bag. I had it set for my calls to go directly to voicemail. There was one message from Martin. I dialed my voicemail and heard a worried Martin on the other end.
"Babe, is something wrong? Did I do something wrong? Please talk to me. I am respecting your wishes and not reading your thoughts but then again you would only block me anyway if I did. Please call me. I love you." He said as my voicemail beeped letting me know that the message was over.
I looked over at the clock. It was almost one am. I had been tossing and turning for a few hours. Maybe I should call him.
I was halfway dialing his number before I hung up. What would I say? Sorry I doubted you? No. But then I was compelled to dial it again. This time it rang.
"Hello?!" Martin answered. "Amanda?" He asked.
Click. I hung my phone up. What was I doing?
I waited for him to call me back but he didn't. I sighed and laid back in the bed. This was going to be a long and restless night.
