OFFICE ROMANCE. (BxB)

Chapter 22. BROKEN

●●□●●●

Next morning,

"Man Am so hungry." I say stuffing the sandwich with a glass of milk in my mouth. Apparently I have to take several to feel alive again.

Another glass with fried eggs, another  pancakes... now I feel something.

"I wonder why you eat so much but remain the same."

"Marcus don't start , leave him alone." Mom warns him making me feel sooo good.

" Aah.. better." I sigh feeling satisfied.

"You said your phone broke?" I node to dad who is asking. "Do we need to get you another one or it can be fixed?" He adds.

" Dad , He's working , Let him sought his problems now , you were the one who said we should stop spoiling him and now you are the one doing exactly that." Marcus opposes.

What the f* ck is wrong with him lately?! He's really being b*tchy to me . Okay we kinda fight all the time but not to this extend.

" I wanted him to get a job , atleast he tried , am happy because he finally did something right." Dad says.

" Yeah , dad is right , finally you did something meaningful." Cara says patting my head smiling.

" Thanks , I'll buy one for myself." I say feeling mature because now I'll get something with the money I sweated for myself.

" Do you need a ride , am going out." Marc asks .

" No , thanks "

" Weren't you going to buy a phone?" He asks

" Not today" I answer , today I just wanna relax.

"Won't Mr. CEO be worried if he finds you off for long , or did you talk to him with a laptop?" He presses on making me start thinking of something I've been pushing away from my brain , I couldn't sleep well last night because of that.

"I have nothing to say to him now , so am in no hurry." I say shrugging off the topic . He probably won't call me , I f*cked up yesterday.

Marcus,  "Changed my mind , won't go either." I knew he just wanted to take me and probably pay for it..

" You didn't wanna go , you wanted to take me." I tell him and he pretends that am wrong .

The day goes on so fast and Saturday dies , just like that, the next day we're sitting in the living room, watching our favourite comedy series , 'Friends '

"Honey, are you sure you are okay?" Mom asks for a thousandth time today.

"Mom really now? Can we stop talking about that thing! Am fine"

" Then why are you staying indoors for a whole weekend, this is unlike you . If you are still worried about Ada..."

" Don't mention him please_"  Everytime somebody mentions him , my body goes numb , this idea of him thinking that am really a slut has refused to get off my brain , it's really disturbing me, so am trying to avoid thinking about him.

Everyone is quiet all over sudden and am wondering why because they've been laughing and commenting on the series we're watching.

I raise my head to look at them and find their head staring towards the front door with surprise written all over their faces . My head turns involuntarily only for my eyes to meet the very ones of Adams Smith!

The remote in my hand falls down.

He's got to be kidding me. How did he know my house?! Even if he knows why the hell is he here , o o he doesn't look so good .

He might have heard me say that mom shouldn't mention him , our guard is infront of him , but Adams is taller than him so he's staring at me over his head .

" Uh.. thank you ." He says to the guard who leaves after dad nodding to him.

" Uh.. Hello , Am sorry for coming over without a notice , am Adam , Adam Smith.. Julian's employer." He says still staring at me even when he is addressing others.

"We alredy know you , my goodness you look even better in person . You welcome , have a sit.." My sister says smiling broadly at him , almost blushing. Is she forgetting that she's someone's fiance?!

" I can't stay , I am supposed to be somewhere for a meeting, I just came to confirm that he got home safely. He left the company in late hours and his phone has been off since then , I couldn't help but be worried that something might have happened to him . I care about all my employees , that's why I ran over. Now that I've confirmed he's fine and happy , I'll beg to leave , thank you ." He adds 'happy' intentionally and sarcastically.

He turns around not sparing me anymore glance , he is so mad and beside being mad , he looks disappointed.

I stand up immediately he turns around , my legs feeling weak but I force them to do their work .

"Adam? Wait.. Adam" he literally ignore me walking even faster .

I run catching up with him on the door and hold his hand turning him around , it's really surprising that there are tears lingering in his eyes, not really flowing but on his eyeballs there are.

"Everything to you is a joke, isn't it Julian? You never actually take anything serious, do you? You know after what happened on friday I thought that maybe we have moved a step ahead, but no! It probably was just one of your routine, wasn't it? I think I was terribly wrong .
You came switching off your phone after that ! I've been worried sick thinking that maybe something happened to you. I had sleepless night with a restless day for someone who is totally fine having fun! You tell them not to mention me? Well , Very well Wilson!"

" Adams , you've got it all wrong." I try to defend myself but he doesn't look like he's gonna listen.  "I fell on the stairs and my phone broke badly it's not working! I was gonna get a new one th.."

" You have a laptop , don't you ? You should have atleast told me that! Besides, haven't you just said now that no one should mention me to you?!"

"It's not what yo..."

"Am done with you. You know , not even for a moment have I ever thought that you would talk like that about me , this how you've been talking to your friends about me , isn't it?!"

"What friends are you talking about?"

"Those two? If you had something about me to talk about you should have just asked actually."

"And if you had something to say to me you should have have just said it , you think it's been easy on me? You had a sleepless night? Well , guess what ? Me too ! And all these wouldn't have happened if you just talked out instead going around the bush!"

"So you knew there was something I was trying to communicate all this time but you still got the guards to go out with Camilla Claris , you slept with with her even after I made it obvious to you how I felt about!"

"You were spying on me?! Well maybe you should know that I did it because of you! Every time you made some jokes which you have no idea how they made me feel! If you had something to say you should have just said it!"

"Actually, I had but I don't anymore , I don't, all that bulshit ends here!"

He says seriously walking away, even when I try to talk he doesn't listen .

Just when I thought I felt my terrible yesterday, today I don't even know how to describe my pain.

After he disappears out of the gate with a high speeded car , I go back in the house only to find my family eavesdropping, I pretend not even to see them as I go straight upstairs to my room .

" I knew it won't go far, I can't believe you can cry over something like this to...!" This idiot thinks am in the mood to take his stupid thoughts.

"Shut the F* ck up Jack!" I yell not caring what he says next .

Mom calls but I just wanna be alone , probably to cry my heart out about everything.
