Chapter 450 Only Want To See You (Part Three)
"Well, if it isn''t love at first sight, Derek must think of Amy as a charming woman that he wants to get to
know better, " stated Jackson, concluding his belief was sound.
Theplicated situation made Cherry somewhat uneasy, so she mused out loud, "Well, they just
barely met tonight, they''ll have tons of chances to see each other again, we need to be patient.
Perhaps they will fall in love over time. It''s up to the two of them."
Seeing how concerned Cherry was, Jackson yfully, and softly pinched her nose whileforting
her, "Babe, all you need to fret about is taking good care of Joe and I. That''s your duty, so don''t stress
over other things. You know what kind of person Derek is, as well as your ssmate, Miss Amy, there''s
no doubt they are both good people. It wouldn''t be bad if they started dating. There''s no need to worry
about them."
"Well, that''s true, " agreed Cherry leaning against his chest as she wrapped her arms around his neck,

"My darling, I care for only you, and Joe."
Jackson''s hot breath tickled Cherry''s ear as he whispered lovingly into her ear, "Can''t you just serve
me, and not Joe?"
Cherry refused and shook her head, "Impossible! Joe is my son!"
"True, but, you are my wife!" Jackson denied her argument as he lifted her into his arms, and walked
up the stairs.
The scenery whizzed by on the other side of the car window Amy stared out. She sat silently next to
him in the car, and didn''t know what to say, so she kept staring out the windows.
His hands were mmy as he tightly sped the steering wheel, controlling the car as it raced down
the road. Derek wanted to talk, but he didn''t know where to start. He was embarrassed.
"Well, " Derek finally said, not able to bear the silence, "Have you been teaching the piano for long?"
Nodding profusely, Amy exined, "Yes, after I graduated from the University, I started it at the school,
and I tutor part time ."
"Well, that''s good, " Derek continued politely, "How did Joe do?"
"He''s as clever as his father, " said Amy.
"Yes, Joe is very smart. Sometimes even my Sister, Cherry, isn''t able to deal with this to deal with him,
" said Derek, grinning.
The way there was referred Cherry made Amy curious, so she asked, "Mr. Derek, are you and Mr.
Jackson are close friends?"
"Yes, we are. We grew up together in the military residentialpound, " answered Derek.
Ahh, that''s exins why you felt at home there, " said Amy smiling.
"Oh, you noticed?" It was true, Derek realized, and now that Amy mentioned it, he felt self-conscious,
but, he had always thought of Jackson''s house as his home.
"Yes, " said Amy nodding.
Derek touched his head, making light of the embarrassment he felt, "Ha-ha, I do tend to make myself at
home there."
Reflecting on this gentler, extroverted version of himself, Derek was thrown for a loop as he realized
that he wasn''t acting like his usual cold-hearted, humorless self.
She sat in the passenger seat next to Derek, and smiled at his hisment, but, remained silent, as
she looked at her hands sped together in herp.
The car came to a stop in the parking lot of the apartmentplex where Amy lived. Unbuckling her
seatbelt, she peeked at Derek quickly and shed a grateful smile as she said, "Thank you for bringing
me home, good night."
"It was my pleasure!" Derek''s eyes twinkled as he smiled at Amy, "It''s gettingte now. I will wait here
till you are upstairs. Have a good night, " Derek''s soft persuasive voice had a lulling quality.
Unable to think clearly, Amy responded, "Okay, well, see you, " She exited the car as quickly as
possible, flew into the building and up the stairs.
Derek sat there, watching Amy disappear into the building. He waited a few more minutes, giving her
time to get up to her apartment before leaving.
Stretching out in bed, Derekid with his head was cradled by his arm, a faraway look in his happy,
hazy eyes. Whether his eyes were opened or closed, Derek saw Amy. Individual characteristics of
Amy''s, like her smile, her eyes, alongside her general, beautiful appearance. He didn''t understand what
was wrong. Derek had been home for hours now, and his mind was stuck in a loop, thinking about
Amy.
The following morning, sunlight poured into the vi as Cherry and Jackson sat in the dining room
having breakfast. Joe came downstairs, sat down at the table and slowly ate his breakfast.
"Joe, what did you think about your piano lesson,st night?" Cherry was excited to discover what he
thought.
"It was pretty good! Miss Amy is a great teacher. I worked hard and learned everything she taught me, "
said Joe in a sleepy voice.
"That''s wonderful. I am thrilled that you are an eager student! Keep it up, " gushed Cherry smiling with
pride and love. Cherry felt some tension leaving her when it dawned on her. She could put her mind at
rest on this, since Joe''s teacher was a highly qualified professional, and he enjoyed learning.
Waving his hand dismissively at his Mommy, Joe informed her, "I know, I know, Mommy. Stop
worrying."
Smiling indulgently at her beautiful little boy, Cherry ignored that Joe''s response had been impertinent.
Shortly after breakfast, the family went their separate ways for the day. Cherry dropped Joe off at
school, then drove to work, while Jackson headed over to the bar.
Sitting in his office, and settling into work mode for the day, Jackson started off by catching up with the
world of finance and other newsworthy headlines online.
''Unknown Name, '' and a string of numbers were lighting up on his cell''s screen as it rang unexpectedly.
He nced at the number, not recognizing it, Jackson hesitated, letting it ring longer. Finally, Jackson
epted the call.
"Hello, " Jackson dropped the octave of his voice, making himself sound rougher as he answered the
phone.
