Thirty and Single.

Chapter 14.

The whole week Colton gave me the silent treatment. I was dying to talk to him but he ignored me like I didn't exist. On the other side Corey only said a few words to me. That's it! I am tired of these men pretending like I don't exist.

I got to the office and I didn't want to talk to anyone. My stomach was killing me. I just got my periods last night. I was grumpy and moody.

"Genesis are you alright?" Brooklyn asked me.

"I am not fine!" I half yelled.

"Geez! Calm down. I only wanted to know if you're alright." She told me. I glared at her and my cheeks flushed.

"I know it's that time of the month. Uh...I think you should go home and get some rest." Brooklyn said.

She was right. I can't work like this. And every time I see Colton or Corey I get so pissed. I went to Quinn's office and told her that I wasn't feeling well. She said I could go home. On my way out I bumped into Colton. He looked at me and he was shocked.

"Green are you alright?" He asked politely.

"I am fine!" I said angrily and walked away. He tried to stop me but it was too late. I was gone. Went to my car and drove home. When I got home I went straight to my room and buried myself in bed and cried. I don't even know why I cried until sleep took me.

Later in the evening I went to the living room and started watching Ginny & Georgia on Netflix. In the second episode I heard a knock on my door. I took a deep breath and went to get the door. Opening it Colton was there.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. Why am I being a bitch?

"Er...I went to your office and you weren't there. Brooklyn told me you're sick. So, I...came to check on you." He said politely.

This is the sweetest thing a guy has ever done to me. I looked at him and tried my best to smile. "Uh...please come in." He walked in and sat on the couch. Then he took something out of his Jean pocket and said "Um, I brought this. I think you might need it."

I took it from his hands and opened it. "Ooh, dark chocolate?" I asked him. He cleared his throat and said shyly "Yeah, my sister usually eats it and it helps her."

My goodness! Does he know that I am having my periods? I stared at him. He smiled nervously and said "You know I have a sister. So, I know when it's that time of the month."

I felt embarrassed. "Uh, I am sorry about earlier at the office." I said politely.

"It's alright. No worries." He said.

There was an awkward silence then he said "Let me make you some ginger tea. It will make you feel better." He went to the kitchen. After a few minutes he came back with a cup of tea.

"This is for you my lady." He said jokingly with a British accent. I laughed and took the cup from him. "Thank you, sire." I tried to do the accent as well which made him laugh too. Such a beautiful laughter!

After giving me the cup he sat down beside me. I took a sip of my tea and jut smiled.

"Uh, Green...

When he called my name my whole body froze.

"I...I am sorry I acted like a jerk for the past week." He said while looking at me. I breathed heavily and said with a wide grin "It's fine."

He kept his arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to him. I didn't know what was going on between us but I liked it.

The next morning I woke up feeling much better. The cramps were gone and my mood was okay. I went to the office.

"Wow, today somebody is in a good mood." Brooklyn said when I got in. I smiled at her and said "Yeah. I am much better. Sorry about yesterday."

"It's okay girl! By the way, yesterday when you left your handsome neighbor came asking for you." She said.

"Ooh yeah, he came to my house." I told her.

"He came to your house? I thought you guys weren't talking."

"Uh, we kind of started talking last night."

"So, what happened? Tell me everything!"

"Haha, nothing happened! He just brought me dark chocolate and made me some ginger tea."

"Wow, that is so sweet of him."

"I know Brooklyn. I know. Then he apologized for being a jerk to me."

"Wow! I like him now." She said and we both laughed. Suddenly Colton walked in.

He looked at Brooklyn and said "Hi." Then he faced me with the most beautiful smile. "Hey Green, how are you feeling today?"

"Um, I am fine."

"Good! Here, I brought you some ginger tea." He gave me a cup. I took it and smiled at him then whispered "Thank you."

"Have a great day." He told me with a wink and left my office.

"O.M.G! That was super cute." Brooklyn said when Colton left. I just smiled and sipped my tea. Damn! This guy knew how to make good ginger tea.

I sat behind my desk and started working on my new story. Hours of serious work passed by and soon it was approaching lunch.

"Oh God! I almost forgot. Logan is in town and he wants to grab lunch with us. He wants to finally meet you." Brooklyn said.

"Really? Why didn't you say that before? I wore my ugly outfit." I complained to her.

"Haha, c'mon that dress is pretty." She told me.

We went for lunch at the bistro opposite our office and I finally met Logan. He was such an amazing guy. My friend was lucky to have him. He was smart, good looking and funny. He kept cracking up some jokes and we laughed.

"Genesis, I am so happy to finally meet you. You're such an amazing person." He said.

"Aww, Logan. I am happy to meet you too. Brooklyn is so lucky to have you. You're a wonderful guy." I told him and he smiled.

"So, I am glad that you guys finally met. Because, Logan kept asking to meet you every time I talked about you." Brooklyn said.

"Okay. I guess I should leave you guys to go back to work. I hope we can do this again before I leave town." He said.

"Uh...I guess so too." I said and he smiled at me then moved close to Brooklyn and kissed her "See you later babe." He told her.

"Bye Genesis."

"Bye Logan." Then he left.

We went back to the office. Today I didn't see Corey the whole day. I hope he is fine. Suddenly my phone chimed. I took it and found a text from Him;

We need to talk.
