Call it what you want

Were you STALKING ME?!

It was Tuesday so Taylor and Joe were at work.
He was answering emails and she was re-organising the filing cabinet because Natasha had made a total mess of them.
Taylor was picking up a box when she realised what was written on the side.
"Babe?"
"What"
"What are these?"
The box was labelled with her name and had hundred of pages of files on her. Date of birth, medical information, photos of her outfits, the police reports, childhood friends and their contact information, photos of her eating lunch, her entire life.
"Why do you have a box full of-.... were you STALKING ME?!"
the further through the box she got the worse the photos got. Sleeping, crying, bruised ....... naked
"Holy shit. Joe?"
He had a look of confusion on his face and he came over to see what she was going on about.
"W..why are there photos of me like that in your office???"
He realised what they were and was immediately relieved.
"Oh god, tay no no. It's not mine, I swear I found it in your attic and I thought it would trigger you if you saw it. I was planning on throwing it out."
"I don't believe you"
"It wasn't just you. There were boxes of other girls he dated, I swear look"
He pulled her over to a side office and she saw that there were two other similar boxes that dated from before she even met Calvin. He was telling the truth thank god.
"Jesus, honestly I don't know what I would've done If you turned out to be a psychopath. "
He pulled her in for a hug which turned into a make out session.
He sat on his desk chair and she sat on his lap and straddled him.
When they broke apart for air Joe saw something out of the corner of his eye and when he looked back she saw someone standing in the doorway.
One of the new interns was holding a pile of paperwork and had just been standing watching.
When Taylor noticed she jumped down quickly and was visibly uncomfortable.
"Who the hell are you?!"
"My name's Harry. I'm your intern, I've got the subpoenas you asked for but it looks like you were busy." He was overly calm and clearly had an undertone of mockery when he spoke but he didn't make eye contact with Joe once, he was just staring at Taylor.
A fire lit in Joe's eyes.
"WERE YOU STARING AT MY GIRLFRIEND?!!"
Harry looked like he wanted to say something snarky or rude but he remembered that Joe could easily fire him.
"Not at all Mr.Alwyn."
"WHY THE HELL WERE YOU WATCHING US"
He mumbled something under his breath that sounded like.
"You weren't the one I was watching"
"THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE! IF YOU EVER SPEAK OUT OF LINE AGAIN YOUR FIRED"
Harry nodded and left.

Joe now turned his attention to Taylor.
"That was disgusting, I swear he just stared at my boobs for like 2 minutes."
Joe kissed her forehead.
"Well, if he does it again I'll shoot him"
She laughed at his comment.
"You don't own a gun Joe"
"I'm sure I could make some arrangements"
She smiled up at him.
"I'm going to get some lunch, what do you want?"
"I'll have whatever your having."
She nodded and headed towards the Lift.

Taylor was picking up the food when she felt someone tapping her shoulder.
She immediately flinched away. When she turned around she saw Jenny standing there.
What does this bitch want now?
"I'm sorry about that. I'm just a little jumpy right now, please don't touch me when I can't see you"
"Sorry I forgot about your problems"
Taylor rolled her eyes internally.
"So how's the baby?"
Taylor really wasn't expecting to be asked that.
"M...my baby?"
"Yes, when your pregnant you get a baby."
Jenny smirked
"There's no baby."
"So you killed it? That's pretty cruel, it's not their fault that your so pathetic."
"The baby didn't make it."
"What did you do? Did you drink too much alcohol? Did you do drugs?"
Taylor hated the way Jenny looked at her. Like she was a lost puppy.
"You want to know how my child died? Fine. I was 3 months pregnant when my husband tried to murder me and left me on the side of the road, he beat and assaulted me until I couldn't move before kicking my stomach 17 times. I had to call my friends at 4 am and tell them that if they didn't find me soon I would die."
Taylor didn't stutter once and it felt great to see the guilty look on Jenny's face. She noticed that the whole room had gone silent.
"Is that what you all wanted to hear? Your going to talk about me either way so you might as well hear it from me. And if your not satisfied the court orders are public so you can all read the long long list of crimes he committed from the time I was 16"
Everyone was speechless.
She felt oddly liberated to be able to put a stop to their gossiping.
