Chapter Thirteen

A little after one o’clock the next day, Laura found herself sitting in the quaint cafe not far from the sea front waiting for Amy. A pleasant buzz ran through her body in anticipation of seeing her again. Last night had been perfect and the memory of holding Amy in her arms as they danced kept her awake long into the night. Her mind drifted thinking of the whole evening until Amy’s voice startled her back to the present.

“Hi,” Amy said as she slid into the chair opposite Laura. She had on tight jeans and a scoop neck blouse which showed off her throat. “Have you been waiting long?”

“About five minutes,” Laura replied, trying not to let her gaze linger too long at the hint of cleavage Amy displayed. “How did you sleep?”

“Not great,” Amy said, shaking her head.

“No?”

“No, and you damn well know why.” She grinned, and Laura watched as a light pink dusted her cheeks. “You worked me up so much with that kiss that I tossed and turned for hours.”

Laura smiled knowingly. “Well, if it makes you feel any better, my night wasn’t that great either.”

“Good.”

They stared at each other for a few moments, both smiling softly at the other. Laura was the first to break eye contact. She could spend all day just looking at Amy, she was beautiful. She was enthralled with her and every fiber of her being seemed to pull toward her. She ran a shaky hand through her hair. “I’ll get the coffee.” She stood. “Latte and a muffin?” she asked, remembering that was what Amy had ordered the first time they had met for coffee.

“Please.”

A few minutes later she placed a tray on the table and passed her a raspberry muffin and coffee and set her own croissant and tea in front of herself. “Here you go.”

“Thank you,” Amy said then took a sip of her drink. “So, I was thinking—”

“Amy? Is that you?”

Laura glanced up seeing a very attractive honey blonde woman standing next to the table, her gaze fixed firmly on Amy. Her skin was flawless, and her blue eyes were piercing and sparkled. Laura glanced back to Amy who had the deer-in-the-headlights look in her eyes.

“Jessica.” Amy said, finally looking up at the woman next to them. “What are you doing here?”

Even to Laura’s ears the question came out as harsh and accusatory. Whatever the history between these two it obviously wasn’t a good one.

“My visa expired so I thought I’d come back and check up on Mum.” Jessica briefly touched Amy’s shoulder and Laura could swear Amy flinched at the contact. “I was hoping to run into you,” Jessica continued. “How’s Aaron?”

“He’s good. Growing really fast.”

“I’d love it if I could see him while I’m here.”

“I’m sure he would as well. We can arrange something with Diana when we’re all free.”

The tension between the two women was palpable and Laura felt herself shrink in on herself, not wanting to interrupt this awkward meeting. Whoever this Jessica was, Amy wasn’t happy to see her.
