My Writing

Since today is a snow day in Boston I have had plenty of time to work on my writing. I am currently working on two different stories. One is a memoir, sort of and the other is a love story. Here is the first chapter of my love story. It is called Tangled Between The Sheets...
let me know what you think!

Tangled Between The Sheets

By Amanda Bathory

I lay in bed watching him get dressed. What had just happened? How could this just of happened? He put his jeans on and turned around and looked at me. He is so hot, that is how this all started!

He leaned down and gave me a kiss on my forehead just like he used to do in college. He put his shirt on and began walking towards the door. I could hear the waves crashing across the sand and I knew there was no going back now.

“Hunter, email me when you arrive over there. I got worried,”
“I will try my best.”

He closed the door behind him, as I lay naked and all alone. I closed my eyes and went back to the days him and I were together. The days before John and I got married.

College...

“Let’s go sisters! Get in line”

It was the middle of Rush week and everyone was freaking out. We needed to get the best pledges and keep our reputation on campus. We opened our house door and began singing Kappa Kappa Kappa as the girls walked in. I am so bored of this. I looked over at my best friend and she rolled her eyes thinking the same thing. It was our senior year and we just wanted to be out partying not singing Kappa songs to little freshman girls.

I walked around and chatted with the freshman girls. Trying to see whom I liked and whom I didn’t. Not that in one week you can really know someone but a first impression can tell a lot.

“Hey Amy,” Kathy, my roommate, said.
“What’s up? When is this over?” I whispered back.
“Soon I hope because I heard Phi-Deltas are throwing a luau party tonight. You game?”
“Really a theme party? How many theme parties have we gone to? I don’t know. Is Sam going? ”
Sam was my ex boyfriend who had cheated on me last semester. I despised running into him at parties. Sam and the girl he cheated on me with were still together and I was single therefore I looked like a bitter loser.
“Shut up Amy. I don’t know. Who cares, besides we graduate in a few months. Maybe you will meet someone new”
“Now I know you will say anything to get me to go because there are no new boys except freshman and that are gross!” I laughed.
“So you will come?” Kathy looked up at me with her big brown puppy down eyes.
“I will go with you. Now go talk to girls and lets hurry this rush event up!”


A few hours later we dressed and ready to go. Kathy had told every Kappa sister so now there was a herd of us walking over to the Phi-Delta house. At least I won’t feel bad when I leave Kathy here.

The music was loud and everyone was wearing Hawaiian shirts. I walked straight to the keg where Jake was standing. Jake and I have been best friends since freshman year and we only came close to hooking up once but we never did.
“Well, look who is here?” Jake said teasing me.
“Shut up. Is you know who here?” I asked as I looked around the patio.
“Not yet don’t worry. I do have someone for you to meet though” he winked at me and handed me a cup full of keg beer.
“Come on Jake that is just mean. Are you going to introduce me to the keg, the bathroom, and a closet? … I am not in mood tonight to be messed with” I took a long sip of my beer. It was nice and cold even though it was crappy keg beer.
I looked up at Jake and walking towards us when someone I had never seen before. He had broad shoulders, dark brown hair, and blue eyes and looked delicious. I tried to quickly ask Jake if I looked pretty but Jake was to busy doing some stupid Phi-Delta handshake with Mr. Blue eyes.

“Hunter this is my best friend Amy”
“It is nice to meet you Amy. Jake has told me a lot about you” Hunter said with a strong confident voice.
Hunter, I love that name. Who is Hunter? Why have I never met Hunter? Jake told him about me? What?
“Amy? Are you here? Come in Amy?” Jake said teasing me.
“Oh hi sorry must have spaced out there for a second” Good one Amy, now you just sound like a moron.

I spent the rest of the night with Hunter talking and laughing. Couple of my sorority sisters came by to chat but once they realized that Hunter and I weren’t listening to them they went away. He had such interesting stories and was very witty. I love a guy who can give and appreciate sarcasm. Come to find out the reason I didn’t know Hunter was because he transferred here for his last semester. Very weird time to transfer but I didn’t want to make him uncomfortable so I didn’t say anything.

“Do you want another beer?” Hunter asked me.
“Thank you that would great”
I watched Hunter walk away and started picturing our future together. I could see it now.
“Amy, Amy you got to come quick,” Victoria yelled as she ran over and grabbed my arm.
“What is the matter Victoria?”
“Just please come trust me!”
I tried to get Hunter’s attention but he was next to the keg with tons of people.
Victoria pulled me towards the edge of the patio. I followed her down the four little stairs to the sidewalk and then she stopped and pointed.
There was my roommate throwing up and crying on the side of the Phi-Delta house.
“Thank you Victoria. I got her from here” Victoria walked back to the party as I tried to get Kathy off the ground. I put one of her arms around my shoulders and began to drag her as best I could back to the sorority house.

I was now sweating and swearing plus Kathy was becoming heavier and heavier. I kept pulling her closer to our Sorority House.
“Looks like you might need a little help,”
I turned around and there was Hunter. I couldn’t even think about gross I must have looked all I could say was “Yes, please!”
Hunter came up and picked her up like a baby.

We walked back to the sorority house together and he helped me get her upstairs and in bed with a bucket by her side.

“Thank you so much. You just met me and now you are carrying my wasted roommate for me. I really appreciate it.” I am blushing I know it.
“I am glad I could help you both. You didn’t seem to be having too much fun pulling her,” he smirked.
“I must admit that was not going so well!” I had my hands in my back pocket and was rocking back and forth on my Tory Burch flats. I was looking down when Hunter reached over and slowly pushed my chin up so he could see my eyes.
Next thing I knew we were kissing. It was as if I had known him my whole life. He stayed over that night but we just kissed and snuggled.

In the morning Kathy woke up and had no clue why she was in her clothes and why there was bucket next to her bed. Hunter and I both started laughing. Kathy let out a scream “Who is in your bed Amy?”
That did it. Hunter and I lost it. Tears were coming out of my eyes and I couldn’t breathe. Finally I composed myself enough to explain to her that he was the man who had to carry her home after she was found on the side of Phi-Delta house puking.
“Thank you. Sorry for that scream, its just not usual for Amy to bring a guy home”
I looked at her wishing my eyes could tell her to shut up!

“Well, I should be going and give you time to fill Kathy in on her night” He threw his flip-flops on and grabbed his sweater off the back of my chair and left.

“I am in love. That is the man I am going to marry,” I told Kathy.
