10. But

Severance
Chapter 010
Good At Talking

I must've dozed off in the car ride because when I awoke, it was to the car door opening on my side. Elizabeth glanced in and raised a brow, "We're here sleepy head." She spoke.

"Where?" I muttered, closing my eyes again, the heat felt nice and made me feel sleepy.

"At your house, now come on out so we can feed Jamie." She spoke.

I yawned out and sluggishly pulled myself out of the car with one hand on my purse.

"Can you get my things then?" I more ordered than asked as I walked past her.

"You want me to get your things? Also, why weren't you wearing a seat belt?!" She began.

"Well you weren't planning on crashing now we're you?" I hissed, now making my way towards the front door of my house. As I did so, I could see the garage was open, I glanced over only slightly but I could see the back end of my favourite navy blue car - Arthur's car. Which meant, Arthur was home!

It woke me up slightly as I drew the house key from my bag and put it in the lock.

Opening the door, the elegant scent of lingering depression and anger issues hit me hard.

"You're home!" I smiled happily.

"You're home also!" He replied raising his hands and waving them in short strokes with a smile.

"How was your trip this time?" I asked.

"Oh it was dandy," he began, "Francis was sick and had to go home early!" He explained, "And besides that, I got to leave right when I was done with my presentation so I basically came home two days earlier than I was supposed to, which I am thankful for."

"You're thankful? Woah! This trip has changed you!" I said in a joking manner.

"It has, I seem to think you're more attractive now!" He joked back.

"I could say the same... but, then I'd be a liar." I grinned.

His eyes were locked on mine and mine on his as our smiles joined and our lips touched.

"Ah-Ah-AH! There's a child here!" I heard Elizabeth shout as she entered.

Arthur and I glanced back at the two, Elizabeth was carrying all my bags and roughly dropped them at the entrance  while Jamie slowly made her way inside.

"Say 'hi' Jamie, the girly one over there is obviously the lovely Arthur Kinkland-ugm- I mean, Kirkland and the manlier looking one of the two is who you just met, ______!" Elizabeth hardcore roasted.

Jamie just slightly laughed, but she seemed slightly intrigued now.

"Wow. Well. What a polite introduction. But yes, my name is Arthur, it's nice to meet you Jamie." He spoke, walking foreword to shake her hand.

She stiffly and quickly stuck her hand out and shook his hand but it was quick, short, and she immediately drew her hand back and slightly rubbed it off on her pants leg.

"Soft hand." Arthur commented lamely before turning towards Elizabeth, "Right, so I didn't realise you were pregnant this entire time." He began, "I mean I saw you getting larger but I assumed that had something to do with the cold weather."

"That's so funny my right hand burns with the desire to hit you with something." Elizabeth replied.

"This violence is uncalled for, miss, it was but a joke!" Arthur snickered as he turned back to head to the kitchen, "I've ordered a sandwich for myself at Cubway, but there is food here as well if you'd like to eat something." He spoke to us.
