Revenge

Chapter Ten

Amy's POV

Two weeks have gone by and so much has happened. My body is almost completely healed and the bruises have faded into a yellow color. Many people may hate the thought of going to work, but I'm so excited to be returning! I got up extra early to shower and prepare breakfast for myself and Jane. She has become like a second mother to me and I am eternally thankful to her and Chase for saving my life. I didn't ask her what are where she disposed my father, because I don't want to know. Nobody would be looking for him, since he never used his real name or allowed people to our house. Speaking of the house, I told the landlord I would be out of it and not returning. Thank god it was a month to month lease and not a year. I've been seeing Victoria every night. Always the same thing, her asking me to help her then disappearing. I've searched the house upside down for any clues, which was a huge disappointment. Nothing. Nothing at all. Chase wasn't much help either since he didn't know what happened to her husband or daughter. I'm not giving up though. The answer has to be right in front of me, but I just can't seem to see it. 

As for Chase, we have become closer. We talk everyday and he visits on his days off and after his shift. I've learned a lot about him playing 20 questions. Things such as he's an only child, his father left when his mother became pregnant with him. He is a huge mama's boy! She lives about six hours away, so they only see each other on holidays. However, they video chat often and keep in contact. His favorite color is orange and he enjoys boxing. Which is probably how he keeps his body so fit and good looking. 

"Mmm, something smells delicious!" Jane says as she enters the kitchen.

"Good morning!" I smile at her. 

"What has you so happy this morning?"

I smile. "I return to work!"

"Ah, yes. I'm sure Chase will be just as excited.You are all he talks about." She chuckles.

I blush at her statement. 

We chat for a bit while eating before heading out. 

*OOF!*

I'm lifted in the air and spun around before be placed down by a smiling Chase.

"Finally! You're back!"

"You literally see me everyday." 

"Yes, but not at work."

Before we open for breakfast, Chase surprises me during our chat.

"Go out with me tonight?"

"What?"

"Will you go on a date with me tonight, please?"

"I'll consider it."

"Oh, sweetheart! Don't make the boy sweat. Just go, have fun!"

"Of course I'll go, Chase."

The look on his face was priceless. It was a mix of relief and happiness.

*Later that night*

"How do I look?"

"Absolutely beautiful! Chase won't be able to keep his eyes off of you; not that he doesn't already stare at you at any chance he gets."

*Ding*

I open the door and we both just stare at each other admiring one another. 

"Wow!, Gorgeous!" he says as he places a kiss on my cheek then handing me a sunflower.

"You brighten my day, so I thought a sunflower would be perfect for you." So cheesy, but it made me smile. 

"Thank you"

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes. Where are we going anyway?"

"It's a surprise."

With that he held my hand as we walked to his car; waving goodbye to Jane.

When I got in the car, he asked me to put a blindfold on. I hesitated at first, but then did as he asked. 

We didn't drive for too long, but when we stopped; he still wouldn't let me take the blindfold off. 

He opened the car door for me and helped me out. He told me to hold his hand and he would guide me to our destination. When we finally stopped walking, I felt his hands at the back of my head untying the scarf that was used as a blindfold. 

I opened my eyes and tears started to build up just from the beauty in front of me. We were at the lake and there were candles lit around a blanket on the ground. A little picnic basket was placed on the blanket and soft music was playing from what I assume would be his phone. 

"This is so beautiful"

"Just like you." 

I hugged him tightly and let the tears run down my face. 

"Hey! What's wrong? Are you feeling okay?" I could hear him frantically ask me. 

"Yes. It's just, nobody has ever done something so sweet for me before. It means a lot."

"Thank you." I stand on my top toes and place my lips on his.

At first he didn't make any movement. Probably caught off guard by me making a move on him. It didn't last long before he started moving his lips in sync with mine. We made our way over to the blanket and finally disconnected from each other so we could eat. The stars were shining above us and this spot is now replaced with a good memory. Not the bad one of me almost dying. To say this date was perfect would be an understatement. This is the best night of my life. 

When he dropped me back off, he walked me to the door like the gentleman that he is. 

" Thank you for tonight, I really enjoyed it."

"The pleasure was all mine. Goodnight, Amy" 

"Goodnight, Chase." With a small kiss, he leaves and I head up to my room. 

When I enter, I see Jane had placed the sunflower in a small vase on my nightstand.

It made me happy and smile seeing it. I can't believe I had my first real kiss. I am falling so hard for this man. Hell, I already fell. I wonder if h-

Sunflower? Oh my god.
