I Love You So

Part 34

It had been a few weeks since the passing of Reg. The community mourned the loss of the man who had given them sanctuary.

Amanda continued her relationship with Spencer, due to Rick trying to find his stability. Rick continued to try and woo Amanda, which she loved, but pretended to ignore due to Spencer.

The group was hosting a Welcome Back Celebration for Heath and his group hosted at Spencer's home, since Deanne was grieving the lost of her son and her husband.

Amanda was in the kitchen, humming softly as she set out a table full of appetizers, drinks and flowers. She looked up as Spencer walked over, "Oh, Hello." Amanda grinned as she kissed him passionately, "Thank you for grilling." Amanda said as she looked up at him with a kind smile

"Of course, I can't do much else." Spencer said as he smiled down at her

"I have a cake and some cookies in the oven, I'm gonna go shower, I smell like food." Amanda laughed as she kissed him, "I'll be back in about 45 minutes." Amanda smiled as she left the house. She walked down the street, smiling as she walked inside of her house. She took a quick shower, wrapping herself in a towel. She stepped out of the bathroom, gasping when she saw Rick standing in her room, buttoning his shirt, "Rick you can NOT just let yourself into my home." Amanda said as she placed her hand on her heart

"Why?" Rick asked as he looked over at her, rolling his sleeves up. He raised his eyebrows, looking at her curiously

Amanda rolled her eyes, "Because I am dating Spencer. You are no longer entitled to me." Amanda said, keeping her towel wrapped around her body

"Have you guys had sex?" Rick asked her

"No." Amanda said truthfully

"Why?" Rick asked

"I don't want to." Amanda said, puckering her lips and looking away - which is what she always did when she lied

Rick laughed as he raised his eyebrows, "Tell me the truth." He said

"Deep down I still feel like I'm married to you." Amanda admitted

"So you still love me?" Rick asked with a grin

"We have this conversation at least once a week." Amanda said, rolling her eyes, "Yes, Rick."

"Then come be with me." Rick begged

"No, Rick. I need stability and consistency. You just started to normalize. I need more proof that you're trying." Amanda said

"I am trying, I am, and I'll keep trying." Rick said, nodding

"Can you please leave, now? The neighbors are so nosey and if anyone sees you leaving my house, they're gonna talk." Amanda sighed

Rick nodded, "Of course." He said, giving her a grin, "I love you." He said, making his way out the door.

Amanda rolled her eyes as she brushed her hair quietly. She sighed as she slid on a light green floral dress that had golden flowers outlined. She looked at the necklace Rick had gotten her and she hesitated before putting it on. She played with the heart shaped gem before walking downstairs. She slid on her heels before she walked over to Spencers.

Rick was standing besides Glenn and Abraham. watching the door intensely for Amanda. His face lit up when he saw her walk in, a large grin spreading across his face when he saw her necklace.

Spencer jogged over to Amanda, "My oh my." He grinned as he wrapped his arms around her, kissing her lovingly, "So pretty." He grinned as he rubbed her backside, "That's a nice necklace, I don't think I've ever seen you wear it before." Spencer said
