Boss's Right-Hand Lover

Chapter Seven

                         Eva's POV

"Who the heck does he think he is, huh?! After keeping me in the dark and sending me to pick up that wench, knowing fully well how much I hate her. He  should know that I don't wanna talk to him, unless he apologizes,"
                         
 Wait. I stopped walking.

"What if that's what he wanted to do before I walked out on him, " I said thoughtfully, my mood dimming down. I  scoffed for the tenth time today.

"Even so! Forgiving him that easily will make him think he can do whatever he wants, the whenever he feels like it. He needs to know how much his actions offended me, " I sighed again.

"But he's still my boss. I can't technically ignore him forever, " I groaned inwardly, when I realized I had been talking to myself.

"Jeez, what's gotten into me? Have I lost my mind or what?" I groaned again and kicked a pebble.

"Maybe you're just jealous," Startled,  I turned around instantly facing Justin.

"How long have you been standing there?" I asked him. He shrugged, smirking.

"Long enough to know that you're jealous that Xander's in his office with McKenzie, all ALONE, " He said,  emphasizing the word, 'alone'. I groaned instantly feeling embarrassed.

"Look,  I got you, babe. I can help you out, " Justin said with his hand on his chin and his head in thought.

"Oh, I got it. You and I make out in front of Xander's office. Boom! Jealousy, probably fury, starts creepin' on him, then you can kiss Mckenzie, goodbye," Justin said dramatically.

Though that was the stupidest idea I had ever heard and would ever do, the thought of doing something like that, just to tease Xander, sounded kind of fun, but I put the thought away once I figured out what he would do to Justin and me if such an act was committed. I looked back at Justin.

"First of all, I'm not jealous. Secondly, don't you think you'd lose your life if we tried such a thing?"

"Technically, he'd beat till I'm in a pool of my blood, then he'd kill me, " He said with a smile.

"Then why would you take the risk?"

"Cause I'd die for you any day, anytime," He said with a flirty smile. I rolled my eyes and hit him on the chest.

"Owww, babe, that hurt, " He said, rubbing his bicep. I faked a worried face at him.

"Did it hurt?" He nodded.

"Yeah, why don't you kiss it to make it all better?" I nodded and leaned towards his chest.

"Ouch!" Justin jerked in pain.

"I said kiss it, not bite it, " I gasped.

"Oh my gosh, really? I might have misheard you. Should I kiss it again?" I held his arm. He jerked away from me.

"No way!" I smiled at him and sat on the grass. Whilst rubbing his chest,  Justin sat down with a huff.

"You know if I was any other guy. I would have misunderstood your intentions," I turned to him.

"Good thing you not," I said, as I stared at the roses in front of me. I sighed thoughtfully and gazed at a pink butterfly that  landed on my finger.

"I have a question," Justin said.

"Say it, " I said, when the butterfly flew away.

"What's your most favorite place in the whole wide world? " He asked, again in a dramatic manner. I didn't even need to think about it before I answered.

"The garden,"

"The garden? As in this garden?" I nodded.

"Why?" I shrugged. I let myself sink into the quiet environment, before I spoke.

"Xander made this garden for me on my second week of joining the mafia. Remember?" Justin laughed.

"I remember, you said you didn't like it here that much, and we told you to get used to it, but when Ralph asked you what would make you feel at home, you said a garden. And Xander whipped up one for you the following day, " I laughed too, remembering my shocked face when I got back from the hospital and found out they had made me a garden.

"But if Ralph and the rest of us hadn't convinced Xander about it, you probably wouldn't have had this garden. So what's the other reason?" He pressed. I kept silent trying to control the heat rising to my cheeks.

"This was where Xander and I had our first kiss, and where he asked me to be his girlfriend, "I said, looking up at his office not really that far up.

"Then explain why you acting jealous?" I looked back at him.

"I'm not jealous. I trust Xander, " I said.

"But you don't trust Mckenzie, " He said as a matter of fact. I kept silent for a while, before I glared at him.

"Are you trying to piss me off?" Justin sighed and laid on the grass.

"Quite the opposite to be exact, " He said as he stared at the blue sky.

"Just trying to hint something," I raised my eyebrow at him.

"And that is?"

"That you should toss away your bitchy ego and go make amends with your boyfriend, nstead of hyping yourself up with dumb thoughts," The both of us didn't speak after that,  and the comfortable silence grew slowly to an awkward one, before Justin spoke up.

"Also,  I heard you hate Mckenzie,  which makes me curious, " He turned to me.

"Why do you hate her so much?"
