Silly Woman

The sun was shining perfectly through the windows onto the two lovers, adding warmth to the already passionate moment.
Perhaps it was the fact that the man had taken care of her through her weakest moments, Eudora George found herself feeling a little closer to Amos Granger.
Her body relaxed under his touch, no longer stiff as before. Eudora unknowingly pulled Amos closer to her body. Her softness and sudden eagerness ignited Amos' inner desire.
Amos reacted instinctively and gently pulled Eudora's head back, deepening the kiss.
Cola tried wiggling out of Eudora's arms, and that sudden movement snapped her back to her senses.
"Mr.... Mr. Granger."
"Amos." he responded candidly.
"A...mos..."
"Off you go!" Amos put Cola down on the floor, which then ran cheerfully around the house with its new-found freedom.
Amos turned around and held Eudora's hand and pulled her towards the sofa. His gaze were fixated on Eudora's petite body, his eyes scanning her from top to bottom.
Eudora blushed and turned away shyly.
Amos turned her around again and said, "Eudora, look at me."
The blinding lights in the room blurred her vision, and Eudora could not see him clearly. She squinted her eyes.
Amos could no longer resist his desire. He laid his body on Eudora.
The room was filled with passion.
After they were done, Eudora felt a little embarrased and curled up in Amos' arms. She didn't expect she would lose her mind just like that.
The man laughed softly when he saw her adorable look. Eudora could hear his faint heartbeat thumping from his chest. That made her heart beat faster too.
"I... I'm going to cook."
Amos whispered softly, "You're still not full?"
Eudora didn't seem to understand his question. "We haven't had lunch yes?"
"Hmm?" The man suddenly regained his energy and pulled Eudora against his body. "It seems like I didn't work hard enough."
Only then she realised that he meant.
Eudora playfully pushed Amos away, "Aren't you supposed to go for work now too?"
"So what? I'm the boss."
"Amos!" she bit her lip in frustration and stared at him. "Stop it..."
Amos knew that she was really embarrassed so he stopped teasing her.
"You should take a rest. Don't cook tonight, we'll go out and eat something nice."
"Okay!" Eudora nodded and watched him leave after putting on his clothes.
After resting for a while, Cola ran to her feet and started barking. Eudora tidied up her clothes and got up. She took out a small basket from the storage room and made a small bed for the puppy.
Never in her life did Eudora think that she would have the chance to appreciate this kind of peace. It was almost too good to be true. For once in her life, Eudora felt that her fate seemed to be heading towards a good direction.
Eudora's phone suddenly rang, interrupting her thoughts.
As soon as the call was connected, Eudora heard a familiar voice yelling from the other end, "Eudora, are you still a human? You actually told Amos Granger that your father hit you?" It was her half-sister, Kesha George.
Eudora was taken aback. "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? How else would he had known if you weren't the one who blabbed it to him? He told Dad to come to his office this morning, and even broke a person's leg in front of him! The man just accidentally kicked his puppy. Does that even warrant that kind of punishment? It's obvious Amos is purposely trying to scare Dad!"
Eudora recalled what happened last night. When she was sleeping, she seemed to overhear Amos mentioning her father's name.
Eudora clenched her teeth. "So what? I thought I had nothing to do with you all anymore!"
Kesha scoffed, "Eudora George, you really think that you're so great now huh. Now that you have Amos Granger backing you up, you just don't care about anyone else right! Do you really think that you're Amos Granger's lover? You're just a dog, just like the one he protected in the morning! I'm waiting to see the day he finally dumps you away."
Eudora's heart was filled with frustration. She hung up the phone before Kesha could speak any further.
Eudora felt a warm and wet sensation on her palm and saw that Cola was licking her.
Eudora looked at Cola and remembered what Kesha said. That person accidentally kicked Cola and got one of his legs broken. Amos was never a simple man.
No matter how gentle he was to her, it was a known fact that any women who hung around him never had a good ending.
Perhaps, Kesha was right. Was it possible that Amos did all those things because she was just his pet?
Then there was no difference between her and Cola!
She was confused. Eudora let out a bitter laugh and put the puppy back on its bed.
When Amos came back to fetch Eudora in the evening, she had already changed her clothes.
"Mr. Granger, we can leave now."
Amos' eyes darkened at the sudden formality. "What did you call me?"
"Mr. Granger." Eudora lowered her head. One year. She only has one year to spend together with this man. She would be very lucky if the both of them treated each other with respect till the end.
Amos didn't say anything. He stood silently for a few minutes, and walked over to Eudora. He lifted her chin and looked at her intently. "Are you upset? Did something happen?"
"No!" Eudora shook her head.
"Did the George family find you?"
Eudora was slightly taken aback, but in the end, she still shook her head. "They really didn't."
"Woman, don't try to lie to me." Amos said indifferently.
"I'm not lying!" Eudora smiled softly.
In the end, the two of them didn't go out for dinner. Eudora whipped up some food and both of them had their meals quietly. It was a stark contrast with the warm and intimate afternoon they spent together.
Cola roamed around aimlessly in the house, but its owners paid no attention to it.
Later that night after Eudora fell asleep, Amos took her phone on the cabinet and looked through it.
There was a number entry from the afternoon. Amos dialed the number from her phone.
A woman started yelling from the other end once the call was connected. "Eudora George, did you finally come to your senses? Why are you calling me? Are you calling me to see if Dad is still alive or not?"
Amos narrowed his eyes. "Kesha George!"
Kesha was stunned by the deep voice. She stammered, "Amos... I..."
"It seems that I was too kind to the George family."
"I... I..." Kesha couldn't speak properly.
"What did you say to Eudora?"
"I didn't say anything, I..."
"Say it!"
Amos said those words with a tinge of vengeance in his voice. Kesha, on the other side of the line, was so terrified that she told him everything he wanted to hear.
After that Kesha begged, "Mr. Granger, I know I was wrong. Please have mercy on me!"
Amos ignored her pleas and hung up the phone. They say empty cans make the most noise. He knew that for a woman like Kesha, he didn't have to do much. His threats were probably more than enough to scare her away forever."
Amos turned off the phone and looked at Eudora who was sleeping soundly next to him.
He was wondering why her attitude suddenly changed so drastically.
Was that the reason? Silly woman!
