Chapter 20: She's Just A Friend

AMANDA’S POV:

I’m utterly numb from thinking that Antonio knows Mariah more than he says he does. But who am I to think this? I’m starting to feel like there is an emptiness inside my body and I can’t control it. My heart aches from the inside out to think he would even do anything behind my back! I’m trying to fight these thoughts of mine, but something just keeps me thinking about them.

While we were still in the pool room, the maid brought us a bottle of wine and set it on our umbrella table. I stepped out of the pool and went straight for the wine. While sitting at the umbrella table, drinking my glass of wine, quickly, then pouring another to ease these thoughts I’m having of Antonio and Mariah.

I’m just going to focus on Antonio and me, I’m not going to let my thoughts get in the way of our relationship, this is way too soon for that. And I’m sure they are just friends.

“Antonio, do you want a glass of wine?” I asked.

“Yes,” Antonio replied.
