My grampy boss

Ch.12

Jennie POV

Almost everyone had already left, there were less than 10 people left.

—Jennie, mom is calling you to the office — Benjamin says, I look at Rosé who was on the other side of the room talking to some of my relatives, she would be fine in a few minutes alone, so I walk to the office.

When I got there, Mom wasn't there. After 10 minutes, I started to think it was strange, until I heard Rosé scream from the garden. I ran out of the office and went to the door, but the few relatives who were still here had gathered at the door. Without caring, I pushed them aside and saw that the sprinklers were on. Rosé had slipped on the grass and fallen.

I look at Chloe who is laughing out loud and my brother gives me a smile, it was definitely on purpose, I run and turn off the sprinklers and go to Rosé helping her to get up.

— Are you okay?— I ask and she nods.

— Chloe said you were waiting for me in the garden — She says

— And my brother told me that my mother was waiting for me in the office - I sigh and see her tremble a little - I'll take care of them later, let's go in

We walked over to where my few relatives were, Rosé looked a little embarrassed, but they were worried about her and judging the bride and groom with their eyes, everyone knew it had been a provocation.

My mother comes towards us with a towel, I grab it and wrap it around Rosé and pull her into the house and we start climbing the stairs.

— I'm getting everything wet — He says

— Don't worry — I say and go up to my old room

— Wow posters on the wall — He says smiling and I laugh

— Go take a hot shower, the closet is over there, these clothes should fit, even though they're a bit old, I haven't worn them since I was 19 — I say

— How old are you? — He asks.

— 24 — I say and she agrees — I'll wait for you downstairs, take as long as you need

— Don't do anything to them, Jennie. You'll just give them what they want.

— I think you still haven't learned that I don't listen to your advice — I say and leave.

I go downstairs and see my mother, my brother and Chloe in the living room, probably the remaining relatives have left.

— How old are you? 12? — I ask — I came to your dinner even after everything that happened, I didn't do anything provocative and yet you tried to humiliate Rosé. She has nothing to do with this

— Didn't you have fun, little sister?— Benjamin asks

— That's enough — My mother says — Benjamin and Chloe are going to your house now

— Are you kicking me out of my house? — Benjamin asks

— No, I'm kicking you out of my house, you haven't lived here for a long time — Mom says and they leave angrily — And Rose?

— She's taking a shower, she should come down soon — I say and she agrees.

— Sorry — Mom says

— It's okay, she didn't get hurt and you were right, it was more than time to face my past — I say and she smiles

— What were you doing in the garden at dinner time?

— Just talking — I say and she looks at me suspiciously — We've known each other for a week, mom.

— I kissed your father just a few hours after I met him — He says and I laugh

— My father didn't work for you — I say

— Why would Rose working with you be a problem?

— Because mixing work and love life doesn’t always work out

— And it doesn't always go wrong — He says — If she wasn't your secretary, you would have already hit on her, right?

— Yes —I admit

— You should take advantage, she's a great girl — He says

— Rosé is 19, Mom, maybe she wants someone younger

— 4 years isn't much, Jen — Mom says smiling

— I'm just going to let things happen — I say

— Don't deprive yourself of new opportunities, work isn't everything, my dear — He says and I hear my bedroom door open and then close and soon footsteps on the stairs. Mom smiles at me and goes to Rose who was absolutely beautiful, wearing a dress that was mine.

— My dear, I'm sorry for what happened.

— Don't worry, Ashley — She says — I'm fine, just a little tired

— Bye mom — I say, going to her and hugging her.

— Bye my daughter — Speak

She hugs Rosé too and then we both go to the car.

— Are you really okay? — I ask, starting to drive.

— I feel like giving that woman a good slap, but yes — He says and I laugh

— You look beautiful in those clothes — I say

— I really liked it — Say — I'll give it back to you on Monday

— If you liked it, you shouldn't return it, I haven't used it in years, it doesn't even fit me anymore — I say — If you want, you can keep it

- Thank you - Speak

The rest of the way was smooth, although I couldn't stop thinking about how beautiful she was, that dress with the slit looked totally perfect on her and this one of mine too, but it's really short because of her, I try to get those thoughts out of my head and keep driving. There was no traffic due to the time, we arrived at her house quickly.

— Thank you for everything Jennie

— Thank you — I say and turn to her, but she turns to me at the same time and we end up giving a little kiss, she quickly moves away, blushing.

— Sorry, I was going to kiss your cheek — She says and I just laugh at how desperate she was

— Don't worry, it was just a little kiss — I say and she nods blushing — Good night

Good evening — He says smiling and gets out of the car.

I drive back to my house now, I bite my lip wanting to feel hers next to mine once more.
