Lonely

Chapter 2

“Justin... Justin! Where are you?” Jaz was calling from another room. I rose my head from the pillow, but then quickly regretted it, because of the massive head ache that spontaneously swarmed my brain.

“I'm in my room.” I said with my morning/husky voice. I slowly sit up in bed, trying to gain as much composure as I possibly could. Jasmine immediately entered my room.

“Julia called. Her, Anthony, and the kids are coming this weekend. They decided that since it was going to be a long weekend, they would come up and visit for the weekend. The whole weekend.” She said walking over towards my bed and sitting down at the end. I ran my right hand through my brown hair and sighed.

“So, Julia's coming. Great, I'm going to have to try and make conversation with Anthony all weekend, when I could be

doing better things. Plenty of better things.” I said.

“I hear you. I'm going to have to end up babysitting while all of you adults go out and live. Oh, fun!” Jaz said with a sigh. I laugh and rip the blankets off of me and stand.

“I can make sure you don't have to babysit the munchkins.” I said smiling.

I walked into my bathroom, shutting the door behind me. The tile floors were cold against my bare feet, as I walked over towards the sink. I looked in the cabinet for something to soothe my head ache. After I had found some Motrin, I decided to take a shower, to try and wash the alcohol and tiredness out of my system.

The water was cool against my skin as I stepped into the shower. I needed time to think a little. So, Julia is coming over with her family. I thought. I'm going to have them stay here. We're going to end up having a very busy weekend. I'm going to be listening to Mr. Anthony talking all weekend. The man is about as annoying as a squirrel.

“I'm heading off to the office for a little while. Jason is supposed to be back today, and I'm making sure he actually shows up.” I said to Jaz as she was sitting at the table. I tightened my tie slightly.

“Alright. Don't be too late though, I want us to do something for dinner tonight. Like, eat out. I'm tired of just eating our food” Jaz said with a laugh. A slight chuckle came out of me.

“Alright. You pick a place while I'm gone. And could you call Julia and tell her that her and the family are welcome to stay here for the weekend?” I asked.

“You really want to have Anthony here? He's Just... Man. I wouldn't want him here, Justin. But, okay. Whatever you want.” Jaz replied.

“Oh, and by the way, I saw Jason's twitter. All he has been doing lately is partying. So, he probably won't be there today” She added. I sighed heavily.

“Thanks. I will call you later.” I said walking over towards the door, my shoes making a tap against the floor with my each and every step.

“Okay.” she said with a laugh.

I stepped out of the house and onto the porch. The sun was shining and there was a slight breeze. The leaves changing from bright green to red, orange and yellows. A perfect fall day. Pulling out of my garage was my driver, Sam. He pulled the car up towards the front of the house, stopping in front of my door steps. He stepped out. Broad shoulders, light blonde hair, blue eyes. Just another Employee.

“Hello Sam.” I said with a smile as I stepped down the steps.

“Hello Mr. Spencer.” He said walking around the side of the car to my side. I paused.

“Call me Justin.” I said.

“Hello Justin.” He corrected himself as he opened the door.

“Thank you.” I said stepping in and sitting down. Sam closes the door behind me and returns to his position in the driver's seat.

The office is strangely quiet, as I step out of the elevator and into the office. I see Charlotte, my secretary typing away on her computer as soon as I take a step out.

“Good morning Mr. Spencer. How are you?” She asked me, with a very beautiful smile. Her long blonde hair was tucked into a tight bun today, and she wore a blue silhouette with a beige cover, that was accompanied by a black skirt and a pair of heels.

“Good morning, Charlotte. I'm just fine, and yourself?” I asked walking over towards her desk.

“Very good. I have set some papers I need you to sign on your desk.” She replied.

“Okay. Thank you.” I said with a crack of a grin, and left towards my office.

I was just sitting down in m brand new chair, when Jason busted into my office. His hair was messed up, and his skin was pale. His tie was completely loosened and his shoelace was untied. I stood at the sight of him. I rushed over towards my office doors and shut them ,as Jason staggered over towards the chair in front of my desk.

“You know... I think this whole company is stupid. Just, plain old stupid.” Jason stammered. I walked back over towards my desk and sat down. The smell of Alcohol wreaked off of his breath.

“Jason, who do you think you are, waltzing into the office looking like this?” I roared.

“You don't want your employee's looking at you, like this! First, you leave town for three weeks to go off and party, and when you come back, you come into work completely drunk! What were you thinking?” Jason's face tensed as I was yelling at him.

“I'm at work?” He asked looking around my office. My blood was boiling. I was ready to punch him if he didn't leave soon.

“Yes!” I screeched, “You have to leave, right now!” Jason stood to his feet and started to stagger towards the doors. I stood up and rushed up next to him and opened the door for him to leave. I walked him to the elevator, and once the doors were shut I turned around, ready to go back into my office. Faces were all peering over towards me. My face finally ceased slightly, and I forced a smile.

“Back to work everyone. Jason was just a little confused.” I said, and then returned to my work.
