The Assistant

CHAPTER 11: Still an Asshole!!!!!

《BELLE》

        The next day, after what I considered to be a little bit of an awkward dinner last night with both Rob and James glaring at one another throughout the entire dinner. You could definitely cut the awkwardness and the tension with a knife. Though nobody mentioned it.

        So today, I woke up and after getting ready for the day, I headed downstairs and noticed that my parents left to run errands or what not and I was the only one that was up at the moment and got myself a yogurt and a cup of coffee. Then sat down at the table.

        While taking a sip of coffee and a couple spoonfuls of yogurt, I began to take a look at my EMAIL on my phone and see if anything important was there. Especially since I haven't checked it for a few days now. Luckily, there was nothing.

        Then right as I set my phone down onto the table, I hear someone coming down the stairs and as soon as they turn the corner and start heading towards to the kitchen, I see it's Rob. Which that's all I needed.

        I tried ignoring him and not look at him as I continued to eat my yogurt and drink more of my coffee, while in hopes that he would not sit down at the table with me. But for some reason, after pouring himself some coffee, he took a seat in the chair across from me.

        "Good morning." He said groggily trying to make conversation.

        "Morning." I reply while continuing to drink my coffee and avoiding eye contact.

        "Your boyfriend still sleeping?" He asks while taking a sip from his coffee.

        "Don't start Rob." I tell him.

        "I'm not starting anything." He tells me.

        "I know what you're doing. And I could tell by the tone of the way you said 'boyfriend', that you are trying to be the same immature little asshole you were back in school and I'm not in the mood." I tell him.

          "Woah. Still the same old moody and over dramatic little bitch. Geez." He says as he starts drinking more of his coffee while I just glared at him.

          "Why the hell are you doing this Rob? And why the hell are you here?" I ask him in a bit of a demanding tone.

           "Rather you like it or not, I'm part of the family. Monica and I are married, so that makes me part of the family now. Which includes doing things with the family. Unlike some people, we don't just visit once in a while." He tells me with a nasty smirk on his face that I wanted nothing more than to slap it right off his face.

            "Just because you married some bitch that I am unfortunate in having to call my sister, doesn't make you part of the family. And it never will. So please, do everyone a favor and you and my sister both get over yourselves and grow the fuck up." I tell him. Though I suddenly begin asking myself in my head why I'm even bothering talking to him.

            "Look who's talking. My god, still bitter over what happened, what, several years ago? You need to move the fuck on." He says to me.

           "In case you are too blind to see, I have moved on. I've moved on to bigger and better things. I have experienced more in the business industry than you ever will. And also, for the record, I never ran away. If anything, I was the smart one in leaving. Now did I feel hurt, pain, disgust, anger with you cheating on me with my slutty sister and then you both embarrassing me with every chance you got in front of everyone by rubbing you pathetic excuse for a relationship with each other in my face? Of course. Did I cry over you? Yes. But by god I did get over it. You see, both you and my sister are nothing but people I have to put up with whenever I am here. And not that it is any of anyone's business, including yours and Monica's. However, as far as mine and James' relationship goes, it is amazing. He is far more of a real man than you ever will be. He makes me scream out loud in bed, he does things to me, that you will never be able to do to a woman." I tell him with a satisfactory smile and then before he says anything, the front door opens up and in walks my parents.

           Telling by the bags in their hands, they had gone shopping for more gifts.

           "Hey guys." My mother told us.

            "Hi mom. I was just about to go and check up on James and see if he's awake." I smile at her and my dad as I give them both a smile, kiss on the cheek and then I look back at Rob as he is sitting at the table still, looking at me in shock as I smirk at him in satisfaction with knowing that I had just won that argument.

            "Alright Angel. But you guys need to get a move on it. We don't want to be late for the Christmas show." My mom reminds me.

            "Of course mom. I'll go tell James." I smile at her before turning around and heading up the stairs and into the bedroom where I shut the door behind me and smile as I look at him lying on the floor, wrapped in a blanket and watching at how peaceful he sleeps. With his chest moving up and down with each inhale and exhale of breath.

           As much as I didn't want to wake him up, I knew I had to before my mom came in and embarrassed me. Which shocker right?

           As soon as I knelt down beside him I gently caressed the side of his arm and he began to stir a little bit and moan.

           He then opened up his eyes and smiled as he saw me.

           "It's time to get up and get ready for the Christmas show." I told him.

           "Mmm. Okay." He replied tiredly and then stretched his arms a little bit with a yawn before sitting up and then leaning in to kiss me.

          "Give me 15 minutes." He says.

          "Okay." I replied with a smile and then stood up and left the room.

          Though as I began walking downstairs to wait for him, I couldn't stop myself from thinking about how sexy he looked. Then also began to think how bad I felt for letting him continue to sleep on the floor instead of with me. I mean, all we would do is actually sleep in the bed and nothing more. I mean, it's appropriate to sleep in the same bed together since we are an official couple, right?
