Choices We Cant Make

seven: quinns

I look across the big mahogany island table and watch Rebecca almost fall asleep during our conference meeting. Damn it! When will this even end? Our boss seems to have an endless lists of "ideas" we all know he cant afford to execute.

Anyways, I look under the table at my phone and see the time It's 5:15PM. I need to be back home and start my hunt over Greg's life.

After 15 mins the meeting ends. I look over my notes which look aesthetic. I hand over my notes to Rebecca because she of course did not take any. I pack my brief case and just as I am about to leave, a young - slightly muscular dark skinned guy in a blue suit puts his hand on my desk- right around my waist and blocks me.

I shift, and try to re position myself while he whispers "How about I take you out tonight?" He smirks and I grow insanely uncomfortable.

Rebecca yells for me once she realizes whats happening "Violet! We need to go ! NOW!"

"Violet. what a lovely name. My name is-"

Just as he is about to finish I hear my name being called in a heavy British accent, and I just know who the speaker is.

"Violet! Violet! It's nice to see you." yells Blue. He wraps his arms around me and hugs me.

-.-

BLUE POV

As I hug Violet and look behind at the hell of a man who was hitting on Violet. I could see Violet's miserable face when the man was conversing with her.

I glare at the man. And just with my one look he walks away. Fucking coward.

Violet releases me and says

"Blue! what are you doing here?"

"Oh I just came to meet Dorothy." I lie. I did not come to meet Dorothy. Who is even Dorothy?

"The janitor?" a brunette from the back asks.

"No Rebecca her name was Dorami" Violet responds.

Thank fucking god or else this would have turned out terrible.

"Yes I came here to meet her because she's the one Im writing a book with" I mention sarcastically.

Violet rolls her eyes and laughs a little - "Well she does gossip a lot"

I walk her outside the building and I catch a hold of her eyes staring at mine

"Is everything okay Violet?" Why the hell am I even concerned.

"Yes, Blue." Violet rolls her eyes at me.

How smart. I roll mine and ask her; "I dont have any meeting tonight, how about we grab something to eat and sit and discuss the first chapter?"

"Well I need to go to my apartment first and get my laptop. I left it today morning."

"Okay. Works."

We both walk across the building and she pushes herself into her tiny white Cadillac.

"Hop in"

I hop in the passenger seat. I send a quick text to Susan to cancel all my plans and tell her to send my car to my house. The car starts and music hits my ears "love of my life dont leave me"

Ah. That.

I roll my eyes and Violet starts laughing.

Once we reach her apartment she asks me to wait until she gets her laptop. I sit on an ugly blue bench facing the lawn and open my phone and reply to around 13 texts.
