" Bitter Truth ".

31. Investigation.

" Morning! " I mumbled as I walked into the kitchen, where I was faced by Austin's muscular back.

" Good morning shawty," he said cheerfully turning around with a couple of plates filled with bacon and a sunny-side-up egg.

" Why are you so cheerful this early ?" I whined placing my head on the table. He sat down ruffling my hair " why are you always so grumpy?" he asked chuckling.

" Because you never wear a shirt.." I lied. Sitting up my eyes glued to his body.

He snapped his fingers in front of me, getting me out of my nasty thoughts, he looked at me smirking " your eyes tell me a different story " he mocked me.

I cleared my throat mimicking him in a childish tone, I looked at my watch realizing if I did not leave now, I was going to be late for my class, I quickly stood up " I am leaving...I going to be late" I said hurriedly, quickly stuffing the food into my mouth knowing that if I wouldn't eat he wouldn't let me go trust me for the past week that I have been living here he is a stubborn man.

" bye," I blurted out with my full mouth, turning around ready to run.

" Stop," he said in a stern voice. Making me face him immediately.

I quickly chewed while looking at him with an annoyed expression.

" what is it?"I questioned trying to be patient.

He sighed taking out a couple of medicine bottles from his pocket that I recognized, my eyes widened at the realization dawned I quickly took them from his hand popping them in my mouth while he helped me with water, I did not make the mistake of looking at him as I could already feel his fierce eyes on me.

" When will you learn to take care of yourself?" he started.

" I know....put yourself first...take care of yourself..." I mimicked what he said the last time while he looked at me amused.

" But why do I have to do it when you do it for me" I reasoned out trying to get out of his nagging.

He took a step forward, pursuing his lips ready to say something but before he could " bye " I said hurriedly tiptoeing placing a kiss on his cheek. Both of us were at eye level, my heart racing at an unexpected speed, realizing what I just did.
I quickly got on my feet and ran away without saying another word.

" my back hurts, my bra is too tight, and my hip shakes from left to right " Eddie sang walking around and twerking once in a while I sat at his desk in his office drinking coffee eyeing him weirdly.

" so this girl you're going on a date with where did you meet her? " I questioned looking at my phone, checking if I received any messages apart from a couple of messages from a restaurant about coupons I had no messages.

" Oh, I hadn't met her... it's a double date she's Roland's date friend so..." he said setting his hair. " wait...what...why wasn't I set up with anyone"I asked annoyed still not receiving any message.

He turned around placing his hands on the desk he looked at me " firstly they are girls and straight.. and secondly set you up you want us to be dead by Austin " he said faking a smile.

" come on there is nothing between us you already know that and I don't want to die alone while all of you have kids, families, and stuff " I whined. I quickly looked as I received a message from Austin a smile immediately formed on my face.

" look at this fool " Eddie muttered, I immediately looked up at him " it's not from Austin, " I said quickly regretting it.

" But you like him right," he asked making paper planes from documents placed on his table that I quickly grabbed away from him.
