My Brother, My Lover Ch. 11

Gloria and Jim sat at the dinner table eating and Gloria was mostly quiet still wondering where Callie had gone.Is she with Nathan? Oh dear lord please make her understand that incest is wrong.

"Gloria, are you doing OK?" Jim asked his wife suspiciously.

"Y-yes I am. W-why do you ask?"

"Well honey you haven't said much to me tonight. Come on you're usually the one who's talkative."

Gloria wanted to tell her husband what was going on between their children but she feared he might get more upset than she did. Suddenly she heard the bell ring but wondered why Callie would ring the doorbell if she had a key.

"Amy?" Gloria asked as she opened the door.

"Hi Mrs. Adams. I just came by to make sure you're doing OK."

"Oh thank you sweetie. Yes I'm doing much better. Come on in. Jim and I were having dinner."

Amy entered the house that she'd been in so many times. She remembered how she and Nathan play in this house as she grew up. Slowly she fell in love with Nathan and they shared a beautiful relationship that she wished had never been ruined. Amy knew she was at fault for losing Nathan. If she hadn't been so caught up with school and other men then she'd still have him in her life.

Gloria never knew the real reason why Amy and Nathan had separated. She always thought that Nathan was the one who wanted to be with other girls or just got tired of being in a serious relationship. Nathan never told his mother because he knew how much she loved Amy.

It was the past and now in the future Amy knew she'd lost Nathan's trust and love. They remained friends, but deep down Amy wanted him the way she used to have him.

"Amy hello there." Jim greeted her as he stood up.

"Hi Mr. Adams. Look I hope I'm not interrupting anything?"

"No way. Did you want some dinner too? I've made plenty of spaghetti. It's Callie and Jim's favorite."

"Yeah and Nathan's too." Amy added laughing softly.

Gloria cleared her throat trying to change the subject. "So how is work going for you?"

"Well it's been hectic. I'm working some crazy shifts. Luckily I got today off, but tomorrow I work a graveyard shift."

Gloria was trying hard to listen but her mind was still on Callie. She saw some bright car lights in the driveway and she began to feel better. She was glad her daughter was home.

The doorbell rang again and Gloria felt something strange. She knew it wasn't Callie. Amy saw Mrs. Adams frozen standing there. "Do you want me to get that?" Amy asked.

Mrs. Adams nodded and Amy went ahead to open the door. Gloria was drying off her hands and she heard a loud commotion coming from the living room. Jim looked at her and he got up to see what was going on.

Gloria knew the voice sounded familiar. No it couldn't be! It was that same girl who'd given her the bad news about Callie and Nathan.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Amy said confused.

Amber stood there yelling loudly. "Where is Mrs. Adams?"

Jim stood in front of Amy. "I'm Mr. Adams young lady what is your problem coming here to cause trouble."

Amber's green eyes widened. "Oh? Mr. Adams? Well I take it you don't know yet?"

Jim looked at the girl and then at Amy and Gloria. "Young lady you better leave now!" Gloria yelled out.

Amy stood there confound. Who in the world was this girl and what did she want with Mrs. Adams?

Amber raised her voice. "I see how much of an unfit mother you really are! You didn't have the guts to tell your husband that your daughter and son are lovers!"

Gloria held her breath and Jim looked shocked. Amy felt as if she'd been knocked down.

"What? Gloria what in the world is this girl talking about?"

"Leave right now!" Gloria yelled out.

Amber didn't budge. "Oh and you know what else Mrs. Adams? Your slut daughter is still seeing her brother behind your back in case you didn't know! Don't you wonder why she'd not home yet?"

Gloria felt her heart breaking. She knew this girl was probably telling the truth. Now Jim knew and she'd have to explain it to him and unfortunately Amy too hear everything. Gloria had wanted to keep this a secret but there was no way now.

"Young lady you better just get the hell out of my house and stop coming here insulting my family!" Jim shouted.

Amber smiled knowing she'd done more damage. She laughed and left the family in silence. Gloria heard the girl drive off and looked at her husband knowing he wanted some answers.

"I-I better go now." Amy said quietly.

Gloria nodded and felt fear all through her body. Amy left and it seemed forever until Jim finally spoke.

"Gloria what was that all about?"

Gloria knew it was time to tell her husband everything.
