John Shelby Imagines

Jealous

You tried to concentrate on your work, ignoring John perched on the edge of Lizzie's desk, muttering and laughing with her. Every now and then she'd look over at you so you stared down at your desk and remained determined not to give into the temptation to yell at her.

"Let's go to lunch." Lizzie offered and dumped the rest of her work on your desk. "Tommy needs all that by one." She hummed and smiled at you.

"Yeah sure." You sighed, abandoning your work for Polly so you could finish hers.

You could hear her obnoxious laugh all the way down the hall. John didn't seem to be continuing his previous enthusiasm as he had in the office by you suspected it would be because he was going to have to fork out for Lizzie's dinner.

"Where's Lizzie?" Tommy snapped when he stomped into the room and looked for the paper work.

"I don't know she went with John..." You said turning your back on him to hand over the papers. "But I finished... the work for you."

By the time, you turned around he'd gone and you sighed, deciding that while everyone was rushing about downstairs you might as well use the peace to work so you could get home early and maybe have the day off tomorrow.

"Why the fuck is your problem?" Lizzie hissed as she burst into the office half an hour later.

"Excuse me?" You asked and she rolled her eyes.

"Is it revenge because you're jealous of me and John?" She drawled, scrunching the papers that her hands were resting on with a smirk.

"I don't know what you're talking about." You grumbled and moved around the table to hand her back the finished work. "These are for Tommy he left before I could give them to him."

"So, you had them all the time you pathetic..." Before she could finish you shoved her so hard she toppled over and paper floated around and slowly fell in a muddled pile to reveal a shock Tommy and John stood in the doorway.

"Y/N)?" John called when you almost shoved into Tommy to get away and tried to escape through the back of the building only to be caught by John. "Why're you being so horrible to Lizzie?"

"You're so dense John." You sighed and leant against the wall when he wouldn't let you leave. "I'm not being mean she's just trying to I don't know... make me unhappy I guess."

"Why would anyone want to make you unhappy?" John asked as if he couldn't believe when you'd said.

"I don't know and I didn't mean to shove her but I've just had enough, it's always something with her and she always makes out like it's my fault when it usually isn't.

"Usually?" He asked and you nodded reluctantly.

"This time she might have been onto something." You whispered and he stroked your cheek as he waited for you to explain. "She was trying to get me mad by making me jealous."

"Of what, you get payed more than her, Polly likes you better and Ada?" John chuckled and you rolled your eyes.

"Of you and her, John." You sighed and his eyes widened for a moment before he lent down to kiss you.

"Excuse me." Lizzie spat and the pair of you tried not to giggle as she grabbed her coat and stormed away.
