Song of the day: Heartless by Kanye West

Brandon drove us home after picking up some files for his office. Home. I now call his home my home.  I'm never going to get used to that. We hardly talked on the way there and back. He was slightly annoyed about me texting in his presence. When we got home, Amy welcomed me with a hug and Brandon with a kiss that seemed to go on forever. I stood awkwardly waiting for them to finish and then Amy showed me to my new room.

It was the size of my own freaking apartment. With a king bed in the middle with perfect white sheets, a baby pink dresser and couch in the corner and baby pink curtains. Not to mention it came with a walk in closet and ensuite bathroom. There was also a TV and mini fridge, which I plan on definitely using. I had planned to go down to the diner I worked at to tell them I had found another job but I never got round to it. Maybe tomorrow I could take King down there for lunch and I could quickly speak to my former boss on the way out. But I'd probably need to run it by Amy or Brandon.

The best part of my job is the fact I only have to take care of King. The Kent's already have a maid and cook to do all the other jobs around here. Not like they need a maid, their house is literally spotless.

It was about 7 pm and I was already tired so I decided to change into Calvin Klein sweatpants and a plain white hoodie. Flattering...I know. I shut my room door behind me after changing and made my way down the hallway and stopped in front of Brandon's home office door. Amy was downstairs playing with King while I changed so it was easier to ask Brandon first.

After about three knocks, he shouted come in. I pushed the door open and found Brandon sitting behind his marble desk and still in his suit. It's like work is his life. I've never seen him in nothing but a suit.

"Michelle?" He stared at me with one eyebrow raised. "To what do I owe this pleasure."

I chuckled and took a seat in one of his guest sofa's. "Well I just wanted to tell you that I would like to take King down to a vintage diner tomorrow just for a little fun since it's Saturday." I paused taking a breath. "And because I need to talk to my boss at that diner since I've got a new job."

"Okay." Brandon nodded.

Okay? Just an okay. Is that like a yes? I hate it when people give one word answers after I just stated a whole paragraph. But of course I didn't say it out loud.

"It won't interrupt King's scheduled. I'll just fit it in, his outside time." I said fiddling with my fingers.

I think Brandon could notice my discomfort...mostly because I wasn't making eye contact with him. And the fact that I was uncomfortable with what he did in the office.

"You can go." Brandon sighed running his fingers through his brown locks. "Just don't give King fish."

"I doubt they have fish at this diner." I laughed softly. Amy will probably be at work tomorrow and Brandon will probably be holed up in his office so I might as well take someone else with me. I mean Matt is everywhere but his office so he probably gets people to do things for him. "Um can I take Matt with me, since you and Amy will probably be busy and I don't want to inter-"

"No!" Matt cut me off. He didn't shout but it was more of an alarming tone. I was taken aback by his actions, I mean Matt is his best friend.

"I-I can take someone else then." I mumbled standing up from the couch.

"Wait!" Brandon said standing up out if his seat. I stared at him as he made his way towards me. "I mean I can go with you. Tomorrow we don't have much work at the company. Plus I need to spend more time with my son."

I slowly nodded my head. There's something fishy about this. "It'll be the first time I'll see you out of your suit." I stared at him as his lips curled up into a smile.

Brandon laughed. He actually laughed. It was one of the strangest things ever. "I get that a lot." He said still smiling. "C'mon lets go downstairs for dinner."

I nodded. This is after all my home now.
