George pov
Today we have an anniversary of six months together and I going home early to get ready. I’m taking her for a nice romantic dinner. I’m excited, Amby is the longest and most loyal relationship I ever had and I’m so grateful that she feels the same. I’m in the elevator, God can this thing go faster? Two days ago we dealt with Ryan for good, he will never bother her again. Having my father’s protection was hard to reach him but we deal with my father too. Henry cuts his ways legal and lawful so now we are and the three of us leave happily without his interventions in our lives. So today I will ask officially Amby to move in with me. I know we already are but for Ryan. Tonight I will ask her to stay for good, maybe we find another house. She likes houses with gardens as those she grows up not apartments. Anyway, we will talk about all this at our dinner. I open our apartment’s door
“Sweetheart I’m home,” I say loudly and I walk inside
“In the living room” I hear her say and I see her with my mother sitting on the couch. Amby stands up and comes closer to greet me. I see her and I understand that she was crying
“Amby what’s wrong? Why are you crying?” I say and I caress her cheek
“Why are you here? I told you I don’t want you or Father in our lives anymore” I say angrily and I walk to her. Amby grabbed my arm
“George wait”
“No Amby stop justifying them”
“George let me explain why I’m here”
“Let you explain what? You came to insult her, to threaten her, and I don’t know what else”
“George” Amby keeps holding my arm
“I want you to leave right now otherwise I won’t respect that you gave birth to me” I see my mother sad and heartbroken
“George stop it” Amby yells and I turn to look at her
“She came to apologize”
“What?”
“Can you please listen to her? You have still one chance to make things right with your mom. Don’t miss this opportunity. I don't have that” she says crying.
“Please for me,” she says with those sad eyes and I can't help it. She broke my heart, I hugged her and kissed her head
“OK Amby please stop crying” She relaxes and she leaves my embrace.
“I will leave you alone. I will bring your tea” she says to my mother and she smiles at her. Jesus I never have seen my mother smile so, how to say it, true. She always faked smiles.
“Ok. Let’s sit down” I say and I sit on the opposite couch.
“George let’s begin from that I wasn’t a good mother. I was always away and when you needed me I was sending you to Janet and her mom Linda.”
“That’s one way to put it that you never find time for us”
“I was raised by parents that they were like that so I learned to do the same and I don’t always like it.” She says and she is crying. She wipes her tears with her tissue and continues
“The year that Grace was away I started to review my life. I wasn’t happy but I never did something to change that. And deep down I was happy that Grace did it. I’m grateful that I give birth to three wonderful children that...” she cuts with a sob
“You are nothing like my word and I like that. You get away from a toxic environment”
“Where you get it, mother?”
“I taking divorce from your father”
“What?” I ask shocked
“I want finally to be part of my children's lives and be married to your father I can’t do that” Amby returned with my mother’s tea. She sits next to her and she caresses her back. What’s going on here?
“I already apologize to Amber and Chloe about my behavior. This weekend I’m going to see Grace and make peace with her too”
“Why should I believe you?”
“George,” Amby says warning
“It’s fine Amber I understand,” she says to Amber holding her hand
“I know that my three children found their soul mates. I lost my chance to be part of your lives growing. I have a chance now to be part of my grandchildren's life when you three have” she says and I smile come to face I think Amby is pregnant and then kids running around the house. We will need a house with a big yard to play in.
“George?” Amby cuts my thoughts
“Yeah, I’m here. I was thinking something”
“If your mom wants to be in our life and try to make amends with you I’m fine with that,” Amby says and still holds my mother’s hands
“I can see that,” I say and my mother embarrassed take her hands back on her lap. Amby glares at me
“I will give you a chance and you owe it to Amber,” I say and she smiles, so and Amber, and she holds my mother’s hands again. My mother drinks her tea and talks about a few things. She says she left the mansion where she lived with my father and rented an apartment. Now she is alone and she doesn’t need a big place to stay.
“I should leave now. Amber said that you have a date tonight”
“Yes. Six months together”
“I know. I was proud of you George. You find your perfect match”
“I happy that you see that mother,” I say and I hug Amber from her waist
“We should have dinner together when you come back from Grace”
“That will be great. Henry mentions that your cooking is amazing” My mother says and she hugs me. Well, I live to see that so I guess I saw everything.
“I will cook your favor”
“It’s fine. Cook whatever you want. I will try something new” my mother says and we laugh
“Goodnight Mother”
“Goodnight George,” she says and cups my face
“You look like my father. Is good that you didn’t take his bad side” she says and after our goodnights, she left. Amber looks at me with pride and love
“Thank you,” she says and she hugs me
“For what?”
“That you listen to me and let her explain.”
“I’m glad that you convinced me. Later I thought it would be good for our kids to have a grandma” She looks at me blushing
“Why do you look at me like that? I never hide the fact that I want a family with you” I say and I kiss her
“I wanted to ask you something tonight,” I say and she is shocked
“Relax I’m not asking you to marry me. Yet” I say and she smiles
“Then?”
“I asked you almost six months ago to move in with me to be safe from Ryan. Now that he is no threat anymore. I want to ask you again to move in with me officially. I don’t want to stay here only to be safe anymore. I want you to stay with me because I can’t imagine living without waking up next to you, without eating breakfast every morning, without sleeping together every night.” I kiss her
“I’m addicted to you. I don’t think I can live without you. I don’t want to”
“You have the incredible ability to make me feel better. I can be left with you because I feel safe in your arms. I'm not afraid anymore and I will be able to do everything I want for you. I can do everything with you. Because with you every moment makes sense. Because with you everything is done effortlessly, without effort. I don’t have to try, I’m me. Continue to be with you and live with you in heaven. I just want to be happy. With you” she says and she kisses me. Our kiss becomes passionate and sensual. When we cut the kiss we are both breathless
“I love you”
“I love you too baby,” she says and we go to the bedroom to get ready for our dinner. When I was getting dressed and Amby doing her makeup my phone ring
“It’s Henry,” I say and Amby told me to tell him hello from her
“Henry? Everything is good?”
“Yeah, I just called to ask you about mother. She came?”
“Yes. She left an hour ago”
“And? All good?”
“Yeah. Amby convinced me to give it a chance”
“So and Chloe for me”
“I hope it is a good decision”
“It will be. You should trust more your girlfriends” Amby says looking at me through the mirror
“We do sweetheart”
“I heard her. The same said Chloe. They talk?” He asks and I laugh with him. He is so happy with Chloe and to think that for the first time in his life had stressed talking to a girl. We end the call and in five minutes Amby is ready.
“I’m ready,” she says
“Let’s go then,” I say and we leave for the restaurant.
