A New Way

"Robyn, you okay?"

We had arrived to his house a few minutes ago. We were now in the living room watching t.v.

"Yea I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"I said I'm fine."

"Okay then."

For some reason I was mad and I really didn't get it. Was it the fact that I missed home and my parents after seeing Matthew and his parents interact? Or was it the fact that Matthew said that I was definitely not his girlfriend? It's not like I like him or anything but the fact that he said it like I was some type of disease.

"Robyn for real, what's up with you. Ever since we got to the restaurant and came back, you haven't talked."

"I miss my parents."

"Why don't you just call them or something."

"They don't want to speak to me, ever since I left with Andre they said to not contact them anymore." I said sadly

"You know how parents are, they always say stuff they don't mean."

"I guess."

"You're starting tomorrow." He said out of nowhere

"What are you talking about?"

"At the store. You're starting tomorrow."

"No resume, no meeting, no anything?"

"No but you're going to have to wake up early tomorrow."

"How early?" I asked.

"5." My mouth dropped to the floor

"Why that early M&M."

"I see you starting with that name again, and I need you to get all situated and familiar with the job and what the other workers do, so maybe if their not there you could fill in for them in the future."

"Okay well I'll just go to sleep, don't want to be late for work tomorrow." I said sarcastically

"Okay goodnight."

"Wait can I borrow your laptop for a sec?" He pointed up the stairs. I walked into his room, sitting on his bed. Opening the chrome browser, I went and checked on how much plane tickets cost to head to Florida for a few days. Since I was starting tomorrow, I might as well checked the prices. An email popped up and me being nosey and all I clicked on it. The most horrifying thing I've ever seen was right in front of my face and I froze. Hearing footsteps coming up the stairs, I quickly got out of it and logged out the computer. Sitting the laptop back on the bed stool. I got up about to walk out of the room when I felt his presence in front of me.

"You okay?" I couldn't even look at him. I mean the picture didn't really involve him, but witnessing a picture of his ex-girlfriend naked was just...unspeakable.

"Yea- yea im fine."

"Then why aren't you looking at me?"I slowly looked up then cringed "Why that face?"

"I just saw something I shouldn't have seen."

"What are you talking about?"

"Um look for yourself." I watched him walk to his laptop, opening it and logging on

"Where is it?"

"Your email."

"So you going through my emails now?" I shooed him off with my hand

A few minutes later I heard a gasp

"What the fuck?" He mumbled out but I heard him loud and clear

"Yea, sooo um I'm just gonna go to bed."

"Y-yea you should go do that, goodnight."

What have I gotten myself into?
