Chapter 5

I usually love Saturdays. No work, sleeping late. The only thing about this particular Saturday was tonight is the night have have to sit through a dinner with my ex-boss. Not to mention I can't get the events of last night out of my mind. The Justin I saw was wild, crazy,...and irresistible. I made my way to the kitchen for breakfast. Even though I slept till almost noon, I still continued to fix myself a bowl of cereal. After pouring a big bowl of fruit loops, I opened the fridge to see a sticky note on an empty milk carton: OUT OF MILK. Sorry A;) -Lauren I rolled my eyes. Looks like I'm eating dry cereal. I took my bowl and plopped down on the couch to watch tv. I usually watch the news in the morning, but seeing as I slept through morning I was watching some random movie. I heard my phone ring from my room. I sighed. I just sat down.. I ran to my room only to miss the call anyway. It was from Lauren? I called her right back and it rang once before she picked up. 

"Alex! I just called you why didn't you pick up!?"

"Sorry, I was-"

"Cool. Anyways, you'll never guess where I am..."

"Whe-"

"Costa Rica!!! I know I know I said I'd be back next Saturday, which I am, and I was gonna wait and tell you about it when I got back but I couldn't wait!"

"What the hell are you doing in Costa Rica?!"

"Well... you know how I talked about maybe getting a job one day but I don't want to have to actually like work at a desk and all that shit.. Well I signed up for this modeling contract thing and I got it!!! So once a month, I get to spend a few or two traveling around the world for shoots! The entire trip is free of charge! Isn't that great, Lex?!"

"Yeah, but don't you think you should-"

"Kay well I got to run! We'll talk later!"

She hung up before I got another word in. That girl is something else. I can't believe she just left the country without doing any background checks or anything! Checking the clock, I realized I only had a few hours before I needed to start getting ready to go meet Blake. 

*******

I sat on the curb outside of the restaurant. Of course, he was the one that wanted to meet with me and he's going to be running 20 minutes late. While I was sitting there, I had nothing better to do but sit there and watch people walk by. I saw a mother, she was only accompanied by a small child that was hanging from her arm. "Stop Bella! I am not a playground! Act your age!" The woman yelled and yanked her arm away. As harsh as the woman was, I felt that was exactly how I would be if I was a mother. I can barely take of myself, much less a child. The next few people to walk by were average, nothing drawing my attention, until I saw a young couple skipping down the street. I almost gagged at the look of them. They were laughing, smiling, and walking hand in hand down the street. As strange as they looked skipping down city streets, they also looked happy. Then it dawned on me, they don't even realize that they are running around the city crazy in love. To them, they are the only two people in the entire world. Nothing is stopping them from being themselves from being... happy. I was knocked out of my daydreaming when someone came up behind me and tapped my shoulder.

"You know, Alex, you are suppose to sit inside the restaurant, not on the curb outside it."

I rolled my eyes as Blake's snarky comment added to the list of reasons I was glad to be working for someone else now. We made our way into the restaurant and sat down at a table towards the back. I was leaning back in my seat with my arms crossed, not daring to make eye contact with Blake. 

"You can't ignore me all night, Alex."

"No.. But I can try."

"Try if you must, but at least listen to me. I know leaving you with Mr. Bieber was a huge mistake on my part. I apologize for leaving you behind, but you were in the office when he and I made the deal. You know what was at stake for me! It was an opportunity I'd be a fool to pass up. However, I need you. I need you to come back and work for me. You are the hardest worker I know, it would make me the happiest man alive if you'd come back to me."

I sat there in silence staring at my silverware. When I'm nervous, I tend to fiddle with whatever is in front of me. After tapping my knife against my plate for a minute, I heard Blake speak. "Alex.. are you going to answer me?" I looked up still confused. 

"Blake... I'm happier now. Working for Justin, I mean. He respects my talents, he respects me."

"Alex, if you're referring to that one time in my office, I was drunk.. and I apologized!"

*FLASHBACK*

Blake shoved me against the wall. "Come on, Alex. I know you want this. You've been teasing long enough." I started to cry. I DID NOT want this! He started unzipping my blazer and pulled it off my shoulder. The more I struggled, the harded he squeezed me. "Ahhh" I cried out in pain. "That's right baby, moan for me." Tears were streaming down my face. He turned to his desk, releasing me slightly. I took the opportunity to grab the closest thing to me, which happpened to be a lamp. I smashed it over his head. Not knocking him about, but causing him to fall. "Fine bitch. But I'll have you my way eventually." He yelled in pain as I ran out the door.

*END OF FLASHBACK*

I shivered at the horrible memory. "Blake, this was a mistake. I shouldn't have even come tonight." As I got up to head towards the door, I saw a familar face walking with a brunette walking through the doors. "Justin???" I accidently said that a little louder than intended, because everyone in the restaurant turned to me... including Justin and the girl.

"Alexandra?! What are you doing here... with Blake?" He looked quite angry and I couldn't help but smirk a little knowing I'd made him jealous.

"Well you know who I'm with tonight, but I'm afraid I'm at a disadvantage with you. I don't believe we've met..." I waited for her to tell me her name.

"Jazmyn... or Jazzy."

"Yes, this is Jazmyn... my little sister." 

Sister. WTF. My face turned red with embarrassment. He was having dinner with his sister... Damn it, Alex. Why can't you control your mouth? He leaned close to my ear, "We'll talk about this later... I don't appreciate my employees causing a scene like this." My eyes went wide. Justin nodded to Blake and walked to his table. Humiliated, I thanked Blake for dinner and walked home.

God, I can't believe I've did that. I thought he was just going for younger girls, granted I am a few years younger than he, but I should of known she was too young to be with him. I'll have some serious apologizing to do at work on Monday. I really needed my best friend right now, but of course she's in freaking Costa Rica. Maybe I can just call her.

It rang once before going straight to voice mail- "Hey this is Lauren! I'm not taking in calls this week because... I'm in COSTA RICA BITCHES! Don't call me, I'll call you! Sooo um leave a message..."

"Um hey Lauren.. I don't understand why you just ignored my call. But when you get my message, please call me. I really need my best friend right now." I was almost crying. Wait why was I crying..? Yeah I'm definitely too tired. Without even changing clothes, I crawled into bed. But of course, before bed, I had to check my phone. 1 New Message

Alexandra,

I am very sorry for being so stern with you tonight. You are actually quite attractive when you're jealous. ;)

He can say what he wants about me, but one thing is for sure, I was not jealous. And besides, he wasn't even on a real date. It was just his sister. And even if it was a real date, I still wouldn't care. Would I? I mean, after Justin and I had out little heated moment in the elevator, it really has been hard to get him out of my mind. This is crazy. Justin is my boss!!! I need to get my shit together. I can't fall for him any more than I already have. From now on, I'm not giving into his little dirty teasing games. This is the new and improved Alex Reed. Maybe... Hopefully. Well, a girl can try, right?
