possibly be the wrong one and lead me further down this rabbit hole.  Instead I forced myself to ask “ What is on the agenda for today, Mr. Covington? ”
     
    It was left at that.
     
     
     
     
     

Chapter Eight
     
     
     
     
     
    Over the next few days I called in sick to work until it got to the point my sister called me to see if I were even still alive.
     
    Really, that ’ s what she asked me.
     
    Are you still alive?
     
    I told Janice that I was indeed alive but did not mention Mr. Covington.  I still felt the need to keep her in the dark about that particular issue.
     
    If the phone showed the number to Mr. Covington ’ s office I ignored it and let it go to voice mail.
     
    Yet, part of me still wanted to go into work.  I feared losing my job which was paying me quite well.  Part of me was also afraid of losing Blake.  I had to chuckle to myself as that was the first time that I thought of him by his first name.  Blake, it suited him.
     
    I felt myself lounging on the couch while staring up at the ceiling.  I didn ’ t like feeling so lazy like this but I didn ’ t feel like going outside.  Even if I was claiming to be sick, which I wasn ’ t, if I had been caught I could be in some serious trouble.  It was better just to not risk it all together.
     
    So I laid there, screening calls, and wondering just what I was going to do with myself.  I had indeed gotten myself into quite the messy situation.
     
    One day passed and another as I continued my stay at home and do absolutely nothing routine.  Something really had to change.  I knew I couldn ’ t keep on doing this and avoiding him.  So what was really stopping me?
     
    To my annoyance I didn ’ t have an answer for that.
     
    The brain and the heart certainly worked in different ways.  This was certainly one of the times I wished they would work together and tell me what is the best or the worst thing to do.
     
    I was lounging in a pair of jeans and a shirt.  Certainly not the most professional attire but something for around the house.
     
    I could hear the cars go by outside but paid no attention to them.  I was so used to people driving by at sometimes odd times I didn ’ t bother glancing out the window to see who it was.
     
    I had been debating with myself about getting up off the couch and doing something when I heard a car honk.
     
    Ugh, what was it with people thinking honking a horn was a perfectly acceptable form of communication?  Did I miss that it was somehow a bizarre mating call that only a select few accepted?
     
    I ignored it when I heard the horn honk again.
     
    Curiosity began to take over me as I got up off my couch and went to the window.  Perhaps I could see what barbarian was still using this primitive form of communication.
     
    Throwing open the curtains I first saw a black limo parked in front of the house.  It didn ’ t fully click for me right away as I wondered why someone would be renting a limo when it certainly wasn ’ t prom season.
     
    I tilted my body slightly in one direction to try to see who the driver was.  Instead, and to my shock, I saw Blake standing by the limo door.  He wore a familiar dark colored suit and his hair had been slicked back.  In his left hand he carried a large bouquet of roses.
     
    I heard him shout something to me but I couldn ’ t make out what it was.
     
    Reaching up I opened the window and leaned my upper half out of it.  “ What did you say?  I couldn ’ t hear you. ”
     
    Blake grinned, “ I said that I ’ ve come to court you and hopefully sweep you off your feet!  I love you Amanda and I want to be with you!  Tell me you feel the same way! ”
     
    I could ’ ve hesitated. 
     
    I could have lied. 
     
    I could have done anything but the words that came out of my mouth surprised even me.
     
    “ I love you too! ”
     
    Blake grinned more, “ Then run away with me Amanda Granger!  Run away with me and we ’ ll be happy forever!  I
