A small Crush (Fruk)

Chapter 9

"Francis, can you stop looking at the time?" Amelia asked, annoyed. Arthur still had not shown up, so I was nervous. I was really eager to see him. "Yes, of course, "I spoke slowly. "What is up with you? Everyone is here as far as I know," Amelia spoke. I nodded because she was sort of right; I just missed Arthur so much. God, why do I have to be here? I would rather be alone with Arthur. "Oh! I forgot that I get to meet the new lawyer today! How exciting!" she cheered.

What if she were to fall for Arthur? Is that possible? How would I feel about her cheating on me with him? I've wanted her to have an affair... But thinking about the two of them together made me very uneasy. Is it because he is my friend and she is my wife? Or is it because she is my wife and he is my friend? Or maybe it's because it's with him and he is........ well, he is my..... he IS MY Friend?

Am I making any sense? Who knows! All I know is that it would piss me off... but I don't know why it would piss me off if she were to have an affair with him. Him being with anyone? How would that make me feel?..... it would make me feel confused and I...... I would want to know why... but am I allowed to think this way?

"Would you like a drink? I can get us some," I told my wife. "Oh, that would be great!! Thank you!!" She smiled. She was such a lovely person, but it would only piss me off if she were to be with Arthur? Why?!!! I wanted to slam my head against the wall for thinking that.

I walked over to the refreshments, and suddenly I saw something catch my eye. It was Lucile.... She was talking to... Arthur. I grabbed a drink and continued to watch them. They were talking to each other innocently yet it.... Pissed me off. Why was that?

Suddenly.... She got super close to him, and I squeezed the glass so hard in my hand that it could have broke if I didn't let it go. What was she planning? What was her motive for getting that close to him?

She got closer, and it looked like she was going to kiss him. Without a second thought, I quickly rushed over to him, and I knew she could see how pissed I was. I quickly pulled Arthur away from her and got between them. I shoved Lucile away, and I immediately glared at her "hands off," I spoke, annoyed. However, I could see she wanted to laugh at me. "Awww!! No fun" she whined.

She was pissing me off!! "Idiot! You could have given me whiplash from that!" Arthur said annoyed. "But I saved you, "I tried to say. He looked down and began to think about it "oh yeah...thanks," he said softly. "Oh look! I was right!" Lucile teased, and I turned and glared at her again.

I grabbed Arthur's hand and began to pull him away from her "let's go, Arthur, no more women for you tonight" I said annoyed. Why does this piss me off!?

Once I explained to him that it was my sister, his eyes widened shocked. I was being selfish right now, but who cares. "Come on, you are going to meet my wife, Amelia," I smiled. He looked like he was even more nervous now. "Sounds good..." he said slowly.

I walked him over to where she was and kind of shooed everyone away from her. "Amelia, this is Arthur, our new lawyer," I smiled. Arthur stood up straight and looked at her. Her eyes widened, looking at him, and she nodded slowly. "Oh... hi... My name is Amelia..." she began.  She wouldn't stop staring at him with that look. His cheeks began to flush up, and I froze. "Nice to meet you; I look forward to working with you," Arthur spoke. She nodded and began to snap out of it. "Good job picking for us! He seems like a nice man," she smiled.

"Enjoy the party, Arthur, and if you ever need anything, you can contact me directly, and I'll make sure your needs are met," she smiled at him. She placed a hand on his shoulder and wiped off some lint. This is really pissing me off. I swear to god! If she is doing what I think she is doing!!!

Amelia walked away from us, and I turned to Arthur, whose cheeks were red. "Really?" I asked, annoyed. His eyes widened, and he snapped out of it. "It's not what it seems!!" He tried to defend. "I would never do anything with your wife," he added. I looked away from him, defeated, and breathed out slowly. "That's not exactly what I'm worried about," I whispered to myself.

"Anyway! Let's just enjoy the party. Would you like a tour of the house?" I asked curiously. His eyes lit up, and he nodded "oh yeah! That would be so cool," he cheered. I grabbed his wrist softly and began to pull him upstairs. I tried to look around to see if anyone was watching, but it was only my nosy sister watching from afar.

"You sure do like grabbing me," Arthur laughed. "Oh! I'm sorry, a habit, I guess" I laughed nervously. "Don't worry, I don't mind at all; I kind of like it," he said quietly. I urged him to follow me down the hall when we came upstairs. I wanted to get as far away from the party as I could. I wanted to be alone with him; I didn't want him to meet any women or talk to anyone else but me..... I just know that is such a creepy and selfish thing to do. But it was more than just enjoying his company, I enjoyed it a lot more, but it was hard to see why.
