Against you

15

Nathalie smiled.
The way Gorilla comforted her was so unintentionally sweet that it almost made the young woman cry, but as it began to get dark and suddenly very late at night Nathalie got too tired to even shed a tear to the bodyguard's nice words.
I mean she could've, but that would've taken too much effort from the already exhausted young woman.
So instead she just thanked her new friend for everything and went to sleep.

Meanwhile the 'old' assistant was peacefully sleeping absolutely no one in the Agreste mansion could even get a blink of sleep since the toddler wouldn't stop screaming and crying for 'his mom' (Nathalie) who now has been gone for a couple of days.

"Damn it just tape his fucking mouth shut!" Yelled the frustrated designer to which his new assistant didn't quite know how to react.
She couldn't disobey but she also couldn't obey him at the current moment since the order he just gave was quite illegal.
So she just hesitated:
"Mr Gabriel that's child abuse, you can go to jail for it!"
"Great. Then how do I shut this boy up?"
"I-I d-don't k-know." The secretary stuttered as she was more than afraid of her boss "Maybe find the person he has been yelling for?"
"His mother you mean? Well she's dead! So what do you want me to do get her urn?!"
"I-oh no-no I didn't mean it like that. Oh-god no I wouldn't ever want to offend your...wife sir."
The woman apologized but her superior just shook his head annoyed and went back into the child's room who was still crying like a maniac.

"Mommy! I want mooooommmmmy!!!" Adrien screamed to which his father completely lost it and screamed back as if he himself would've been a toddler.
"I want your mommy too! But guess what! She's not here so-...SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

And surely enough to that the toddler shut up...for a second only thought. After that second was over he started all over again and this time Adrien even began throwing his plush toys at his father who by now fell to his knees on the floor, completely miserable.

He couldn't control anything, and everything was slowly slipping out of his hands.
It was all a mess since Nathalie had been gone, so without being able to stand up himself he called for his new assistant:

"You! Call my old assistant! Her phone number should be somewhere in the computer."
"I-okay sir...and what do I tell her?"
"That I need-" he stopped for a moment "No! You know what, don't even bother, don't call her! I'll go get her myself, until then you take care of my son, make sure he won't destroy any of the furniture!"
"Yes sir!" The woman nodded before rushing into the room and grabbing the sharp toys out of the child's hands.

Whilst she was doing that her boss, Gabriel, ran downstairs in his pajamas and after grabbing his coat the man headed off to Gorilla's apartment since he knew that's where he could find his old work partner.

In the meantime Nathalie was staring out of the window which had a wonderful view down onto the busy streets. And if you tilted your head far enough to the side you could even see a bit of the Eiffel Tower peeking into the picture.
But nevertheless the young woman's attention remained downwards, she observed all of the cars, the nonsense and chaos people created, alongside with the endless melody of street music.
It was all so stressful and yet so peaceful to observe the life other people were living.
Some were great, full of joy and happiness, some were harsh, full of tears and sadness.

Nathalie even thought of her own, which category did she belong into? Sad, miserable, or happy, acceptable.

Well truth was, she never knew, sometimes it was great, but then it always got bad, just like now for example, currently she was lucky enough to live with the only person she knew who wasn't a bad person at all, but then again the assistant sometimes wished to have her own house with her own things in it. That way maybe it would also even seem as if she would've had her life together.

But before the young woman could've imagined how her future habitat could appear a very specific black Mercedes car caught her attention.
It seemed so familiar, almost as if she's sat in it before, and then it finally hit her.
It was her boss's car!
Gabriel was here!
But why?
What could've he possibly wanted from the girl he fired for being too useless?

Well Nathalie was about to find out very soon because before she came to her senses a knock was already heard at the door.

"Fuck." She heard another voice say "What the fuck do you want Kevin?!" The bodyguard woke up sounding rather angry, maybe even fuming. And the assistant would've wanted to warn her friend that it was simply 'the boss' visiting but she couldn't because as Nathalie tried to stand up from the couch she tripped in the carpet and fell face first down onto the ground. So when the door opened Gorilla was about to punch Gabriel who dodged that since he immediately rushed inside to help his fallen assistant.

"NATHALIE! Nathalie oh my god are you alright?"
"I-..." she looked up to see her superior and immediately blushed "I'm fine."
"Thank god." He sighed in relief before picking up the woman bridal style and carrying her to the door "I really need you right now!"
"You do?"
"I do!"
"And I told you." Nathalie's friend winked at her. "I knew he would eventually need you."
"Okay enough Gorilla! This is an emergency!" Spat Gabriel before walking out and slamming the door after he was gone, but that still didn't ruin the bodyguard's mood, he just shook his head and smirked at how pathetic these two looked a second ago.

-

"So what do you need me for sir?" Nathalie wondered a little curious and very flustered that her own boss was carrying her in such a way and holding her so close, almost as if they were more than simple work partners.
But she knew he didn't want any of that...or did he?
Well...she couldn't figure it out because her thoughts got interrupted by the designer's words:

"Adrien, he seems to have gone insane! I swear he has been yelling for his 'mother' the whole night and I-...I just can't sleep."
"So?
"So I need you! I need you because I know you're the only one he'll listen to. I mean I can't even get close to my own son whilst you can calm him down like no one else!"
"Oh-..." the young woman got shook at the way he was so desperately begging her, almost as if Nathalie herself would've been some child calming down goddess. But- "but sir I'm in my pijamas, this isn't very appropriate for work, is it?"
"Nathalie, you're not alone, I am too, so forget about any of us looking appropriate because again this an emergency where I desperately need you...and sleep."
