The way you should be loved

Chapter 36

It was the day after firing day as Jon called it. I don't remember going to bed last night. I fell asleep on the couch once I got home. Jon must have carried me to bed then. I don't remember. Another day at work and at the moment I am still in bed. I got a text just now from my jerk of a boss.

Jordan: Beth don't you dare come in before eleven. You deserve a break.

What about him? All I did was send them in for him to deal with. He did all the work. He had to fire them.

Me: what about you?
You deserve a lie in too.

Jordan: No can do
I got the new contracts to go through

Me: I hope you did get some sleep last night

Jordan: some

Me: Not enough then

Jordan: I will catch up later

Me: Please get some sleep

Jordan: Aren't you sweet looking after me? You so want me.

Arghhhh! Not this again. I can't deal with this every time.

Me: Okay will see you at 11.

Jordan: Sleep tight xx

Arrgghhh!!! Jon appears from the en suite after getting ready for work by having a shower.

"Aren't you getting ready for work too?" he asked looking over at me still in bed with my phone in my hand.

"Boss told me to have a lie in and not to come in before 11".

"Oh, Okay".

"See you later".

Jon comes over to kiss me before leaving for work and allowing me to sleep in like my boss wants me to.

"Bye Beth".

I didn't reply as I went back to sleep.

Just after eleven I walked into the office and sat down at my desk. I don't like being late for work even though I wasn't. I booted up my computer. While I waited for it to load up, I glanced up at his closed door wondering when he would show his face. When he does, he has been really annoying in the way he thinks we should be still together. But he broke us up to go traveling. He thought it was better to break up than to lose our relationship while we were miles apart. How wrong was Jordan? I moved on and he didn't. I guess he thinks we can start all over again. But we can't. I play with my engagement ring on my finger. Then I thought back to that moment in his office a few days ago when we had sex on his couch. I felt sick to the stomach as I remember.  I can't believe I allowed it to happen. I haven't told Jon about it either. There is one guilty lie. I shake my head and try to get the image out of my head. Why did I think about the image of that morning I walked into his office and found him with a girl. He is playing with my mind. Jordan has been doing this since he came back. I snap out of my daydream when the computer makes a noise and starts working. I didn't hear the door go as I was too in gross in what I was doing.

"I thought I said don't come in until eleven".

"But it's 11.30".

"Okay," he appears in view. "I want you to amend these contracts and send them out so they can be signed by the employee. And I have sent an email with a list of potential employees for interview. Can you arrange an interview, day and times, please?". Is he serious after he allowed me to come in late? I have a meeting about our wedding with our wedding planner at lunch.
