Amelia Gold Part 3

"So Blaine is back from Germany" Amelia's mom chirped over the phone it was 6pm and Amelia was still at work. Her new boss was counting on her and she couldn't let her down. Blaine had been in Germany? He had said he would call it had been 5 weeks and she had not heard from him. Ameila had been disappointed and had blamed herself for Blaine's lack of interest.

Amelia was confused why had Blaine gone back to Germany and not told her? Why had he not called? Would he call now that he was back? Should she call him? As if reading her mind mother suggested, "why don't you give him a call after all he did mention he had a lovely time with you at dinner." Amelia was confused he had spoken to her mother but had not called her.

Amelia was about to respond when her supervisor Tina walked in disregarding that it was after 5 and Amelia was on the phone, Tina demanded in a high pitched voice "Amelia did you finish my report?"

"Did she just walk into your office and demand a report from you Amelia how dare she?" Mrs. Gold screeched on the phone. "I'll call you back mom" Amelia quickly hung up the phone. Tina tapped her fingernail impatiently on Amelia's desk. I sent the report to you over an hour ago Tina Amelia rushed she was flustered by her supervisor. Well since I didn't receive it send it again Tina vicious smile swallowed what she really wanted to say Amelia. Of course Tina right away, Amelia fumbled with the keyboard and tapped out a second email. Tina watched Amelia like a vulture watching its prey die slowly and asked "If you already sent it why didn't you just forward the original email from your sent box?"Amelia started to stutter and stammer her face went red, her heart was hammering. Amelia opened and closed her mouth but Tina had already walked out of the office.

As if sensing the moment of weakness the phone rang and Amelia picked it up. "Who does that poor dirty woman think she is barging into your office making demands? Mrs. Gold screeched, Amelia knew her mother was right but she was worried that someone might here what her mother said on the phone so she had no choice but to say "Tina is under a lot of stress with this new promotion and honestly it is a compliment she relies on me so much.  "Of course she relies on you she went to a community college, Amelia agreed with her mother but this was not the time or place for the conversation. Mom I have another call coming through will call you back and she hung up.

It was pouring and with no umbrella Amelia was soaked by the time she reached her car. Her phone rang again she considered not even checking it because she was tired of her mother, when she saw Blaine's number.

Hey Amelia Bedlia, mind if I come over now? Amelia was in shock. Blaine liked her, her heart soared
