What Is Love? (BWWM)

Chp 47: Lying Game

Patience P.O.V

He's avoiding me

It was obvious...And honestly he had every right to. but as selfish as It sounded, It bothered me.

We've never gone this long without talking and now that we weren't it made me realize how much I valued having him around. At first I gave him space to wrap his head around the situation but after some time I tried texting him but he would never reply. I wasn't desperate enough to just show up at his or his sister's house and we barely saw each other at work so I knew it was hopeless trying to see him then.

I hated not being able to solve a problem especially one that I created.  So to get this resolved I took the matter into my own hands. I waited till Mr. Mage was secluded up in his office on his lunch break before paying him a visit. I stood at the door and knocked until I heard a muffled come in. I walked in and upon spotting me a smile immediately broke onto the older man's face.

"Aren't you a sight for sore eyes. What brings you all the way down here " He chuckled his cheery laugh

"As always it's nice to see you Mr.Mage but I do have one complaint"

"Oh lord it isn't roaches again is it because we've had exterminators out here every week for the past two month"

" No, that's not it. The man that has been cleaning my office in the morning he's a bit.. slow for my liking."

"Oh you mean Samuel he's been having a bit of trouble with his back recently since he's getting older."

"Well I have a very important meeting tomorrow and I need my office cleaned by a certain time"

" I understand I can get one of the other morning shift leaders to handle your office"

"I was thinking. That young man on night shift that clean my office did a good job last time. so I was thinking of getting him to do the job"

"Oh ..well which one"

"The tall young man with blue eyes and tattoo on his inner forearm"

"You mean Logan. Yeah he is one of our hardest workers"

"Good then have him clean my room by 11 I'll be out to lunch by then"

"I'll let him know" I thanked Mr.Mage before retreating back to my office. I took a deep breath and released.

Hopefully this doesn't go to bad

~Next day~

I watched the time tick by at snail's pace with just a few minutes to go until my imaginary meeting. I sent Penelope on a bunch of errands it will be hours before she got back. King was downstairs helping move furniture around for the meeting and the rest of the staff on this floor was already out to lunch. So me and him had an hour to talk this situation out.

I looked towards the time once again and still, I had a few extra minutes to spare so I went for a quick coffee run to calm my stressed nerves. I've dealt with multiple tyrants and even Anna wintour, but having a simple conversation had my nerves shot. I made a beeline a few doors down to the break room and waited for my batch of coffee to brew while scrolling on my phone. My phone dinged and Romeo's name popped with text that I quickly scanned over and just didn't reply. I dropped my hand to my side with a sigh and leaned my head back against the wall.

What am I doing?

When did my life become so complicated? At one time my life was so simple. I would go to work and work myself to death, then retreat to the golden diamond to hopefully find somebody for that night. And once again the cycle would repeat but now I was bending my own rules and going the extra mile just for one guy.
