I’m just enjoying life. I have no desire or need to go back to the streets either.’
Howie flushed slightly, clearly realising that she knew what he had been wanting to know and feeling embarrassed that she had seen through him.
‘I know you didn’t like me working the streets Howie. So, here’s me saying sorry to you. Alright? Are we grand?’
She could see him relax as she spoke, clearly happy.
‘We are. I’m just happy to see that you’re alright, and obviously doing well.’
‘Thank you. Would you like to get a drink?’ She asked.
‘I can’t I’m afraid. Work stuff. We have a busy night tonight so I’m going to be run off my feet. Can we take a rain check?’
‘Of course Howie, anything for you, another time maybe.’ Amanda felt disappointed, but it wasn’t very surprising. She had just waltzed in here and kind of expected him to drop everything for her. He had responsibilities now that he could not just walk away from. They hugged and said goodbye before she ambled out of the Club. The music becoming muffled as she stepped outside into the cool night air.
She found a nearby low wall and sat on it. It didn’t seem to be her night at all. It had been great to see Howie, and they had swapped numbers now so they could arrange to meet up again. Something she felt keen to do soon. But that didn’t help her tonight. She wanted to talk to someone, get some reassurance and just some comfort really.
There was one final person she could try, he’d be in and maybe he would be happy to see her. So she jumped up from the stone wall, brushing the debris off her rear and left the Club behind her.
Moments later she stood outside the back door to the Jade Palace, and reached out to Yoh’s mind. The link she had previously created with Yoh let her presence be felt by him, even though he were inside his Aegis protected building. She felt the link open up right away and could feel Yoh’s presence.
‘I’m outside, can you let me in?’ She said.
‘Sure Amanda-San, are you ok?’ Yoh asked.
‘Grand, just grand.’
It didn’t take long, within a few short moments she sat in his private quarters at the top and back of the building, relaxing into a chair across from Yoh holding a drink in her Lap.
‘Thanks for coming over. You certainly dressed up for me.’
Amanda laughed, looking down at the tiny figure hugging outfit she had on. It really didn’t leave much to the imagination.
‘Yeah,’ she said, drawing out the word in a sarcastic tone.
‘I take it you’ve been out tonight?’
‘Visited an old friend at a Club not too far from here.’
‘Aaah, I see. You don’t seem too happy about it.’
‘No, I am. It was great to see him. He was busy though, so…’
‘You came here.’
Amanda nodded, looking down at her drink. She wasn’t entirely sure if she should be here now. Sure, it felt like a great idea back at the club. But she really wasn’t sure what she wanted from Yoh now he sat not six foot from her.
She’d gone to see Raven, if she were being brutally honest with herself, for some affection and maybe some sex. When she found out he had been getting that elsewhere tonight, she ran out to the club to see Howie, on the rebound. Seeing him had been great, but their lives were so far apart now. She wouldn’t have been able to talk to him. Sure, she could have bedded him, she felt fairly confident of that, but why? What was the point of doing that when it could serve to just ruin what remained of their friendship?
Her mind in a spin, she then came here, still on the hunt for something that, maybe she just didn’t need. She barely knew Yoh really and here she was, alone with him in his apartment wearing a sexy little dress. She felt cheap, like she’d been out for one thing and one thing only and now she’d given herself some distance from it, some perspective, she felt like she could see herself from the outside and wondered if her desperation for some affection would be as
