Chapter 28
(Mandy)
As we got through the door of D's house I was promptly grabbed and relentlessly hugged by Gwen. Then she covered me with kisses as well just to make doubly sure.
"Oh let me get a look at you, are you alright? I was worried when you told me what happened, I can't believe you got attacked again!" she said hugging me once more. "I think I'm going to have to lock you away somewhere. It's not safe for you out there."
"I'm fine Gwen," I said hugging her, back.
"Well come along you must be hungry let's get you some dinner," she said taking me by the hand and leading me to the kitchen where D and Joyce were waiting.
"Amanda I'm relieved that you are OK," said Joyce coming over and giving me a hug.
"I'm fine," I said.
We all sat down and had a bite to eat. I was a little relieved when they stopped asking if I was alright. While I was a little shook up I was generally OK and didn't want a fuss raised.
I was getting a bit embarrassed at all the trouble I was getting in. Thankfully they decided not to make too big a deal out of things after that and we had a nice meal together.
When we were done D and I did the dishes and then we sat and watched the TV while Gwen and Joyce went for a chat which subject I could guess I was probably me.
"So other than being attacked how was your work?" asked D.
"Tiring, I had to set up a lot of dishes for the machines to wash," I said.
"Blerg, I hate washing dishes even with the few me and Mum go through. I can't imagine having to deal with a whole restaurants dirty plates," exclaimed D with a sour expression.
"It's not so bad. I don't actually do the washing just load the machines and then hose down the trays. It's pretty easy to do once you get the hang of it," I said with a smile.
"Well I hope they pay you like a gazillion pounds for your efforts," grinned D.
