Now and Forever novel Chapter 21

Knock knock.

"It's open!" I said as I packed up the last of my bags.

"I'm really going to miss you Amelia darling." I turned around and saw Melanie standing in doorway.

"Aww, I'm gonna miss you too Melanie." I said as I walked towards her and gave her a hug.

"Thank you, thank you so much Amelia."

"Thank you for what Melanie?"on

"Thank you for giving Alexander a chance, I still don't know how you managed to make your way into his heart ever since Jessica, but please don't hurt my baby Amelia. Please don't hurt him." She said as she sobbed into my shoulder.

I froze at what she said and really felt bad. I felt bad for doing this to her. When I did this, I didn't think that I'll be hurting this many people when I leave next year.

"I won't Melanie, I won't hurt your baby, I promise."

She pulled away and wiped her eyes, drying her tears.

The bathroom door opened and out came Alexander. He raised his eyebrows at what was happening and came towards us.

"Mama, are you okay?"

"Yeah baby, I'm doing just fine."

"Ok then Amelia, are you guys ready?" He said referring to Audrey and I.

"I'm ready but I'm not sure about Audrey."

"Oh and speaking of babies-"

"Mama, no one was talking about babies." Alexander said as he walked away towards the bed.

"When am I getting a grand baby?" Alexander and I physically froze.

I'm sorry, what?! Crazy old lady say what?!

"Pardon?" Alexander said as he turned around slowly.

"I said, when am I getting a gr-"

"I heard what you said mama, I was just giving you a chance to change your sentence."

"What? Why would I change my sentence?"

Alexander was about to say something but I cut him off.

"We'll put that into consideration after marriage Melanie, we have to finish packing up. See you later!" And with that I pushed her out of the room and shut the door.

"We'll put that into consideration? I think the fuck not." Alexander said as he shook his head no.

"I just wanted her to stop talking about that, whatever you would have said would have just increased the awkwardness of the conversation." I said and went back to putting clothes in the my suitcase.

He just shook his head and sat down on the bed.

My phone rang and I stood up to pick it up from the bedside table.

"Hello?" I said as I picked up the phone, still folding my shirt.

"YOU BITCH!"

"What did I do this time Soph?" I said as I put the phone on loud speaker.

"You hang up on me last time!"

"Yeah and so?"

"Wait, is it because you were finally going to get some d-" I quickly removed the phone from loud speaker before she could finish her sentence.

"Would you please shut the fuck up Sophia Marie Anderson!" I looked over at Alexander and he was looking at me with a raised eyebrow and a smirk on his face.

"Wait, is like, right there with you?"

"Yes, now tell me what you wanted to say, I'm busy."

"Why is it that when I call you, he's-"

"Get to the point Sophia."

"Fine! I just wanted to say that, we're coming to New York to visit you! I'm so excited!"

"Wait, what? What do you mean we?"

"Mom, dad and me silly! Oh and by the way, I told mom and dad about your marriage."

"Sophia you promised!"
