The Assistant

CHAPTER 12: I Don't Trust Him....

《JAMES》

After getting ready to head into town with Belle and her family to go and see a Christmas show, I got a call from one of my partners at the company who is taking care of a few things for me while I'm away.

"Hey Alex! What's going on?" I answered.

"Hey man. I hate to call you but there is some things that I have found out while doing a background check on your new client. Apparently, he is not trying to better his business. But rather trying to help his son's. The problem though with it all, is that this guy has a reputation. Both him and his son. There seems to be a rumor about them pretending they need help with their businesses and taking money from people that are trying to help them and find a way to just take the money and leave. They are scam artists." Alex tells me.

"Shit. Fuck! Well, we need solid proof. So I need you to call Matt, the Private Detective that I have hired a few times. Ask him to look more into this guy and his son. Then call me as soon as you find out any information and I will handle it when I get back." I tell him.

"Alright." He replies. "Happy Holidays man. Hope you guys are enjoying yourselves."

"We are, thanks. I will talk to you later." I tell him.

Then we both say goodbye and hang up.

I try to get the thoughts I begin having in my head about how badly I want to beat thr shit out of our new client and send both him and his son to prison. But like I told Alex, there needs to be solid proof. So hopefully Alex will get something soon. Though until then, I need to focus on this vacation and on Belle. It is the holidays after all and I need to enjoy myself and also getting to know more about Belle.

So I quickly shake the thoughts out of my head and begin heading out and downstairs to meet everyone before we all get into two cars and Belle and I follow her parents' car in ours.

*****************************************

        I almost felt like a little kid when Belle and I went walking around the place as I have never been to one. Even as a kid.

        My parents never took me cause I was always too busy with other things that normal kids wouldn't do.

         We played a few games, went into the fun house, rode the Ferris wheel, shared some fresh made kettle popcorn.

         I had felt like this was a perfect evening. Or at least that's how it started off. Then towards the end of the night, after coming out from using the restroom, I start heading over towards where Belle had said she would wait for me at. Though she wasn't alone. Rob was talking with her.

         While walking over, I tried not to get upset or jealous. So I took in a few deep breaths and let them out before getting to them.

          Rob looks at me and smiles. "Hey man. Enjoying the fair?" He asks me.

          I can tell by the look on Belle's face that whatever they were talking about and he said, she was trying to hide the upset look she had on her face.

          I put my arm over her shoulder and kiss her real quick as I glare back at him and reply, "Yeah." I tell him in a 'you better get going before I fuck you up' kind of a look.

        He then laughs a little bit and walks off.

        "What the hell was that all about?" I asked her.

         "Nothing." She replies quietly.

         "It didn't look like nothing. Besides, I can tell by the look on your face that you're upset. Tell me." I ask her.  

         "I'll tell you later. I just want to go home and go to bed. Please." She tells me.

         "Okay." I reply before giving her another passionate kiss on her lips, then take hold of her hand and we go and let her parents know that Belle was tired and wanted to go home.

          I couldn't stop thinking about earlier and what the hell her and Rob talked about.

         However, at the same time, I knew I shouldn't ask anything about it anymore tonight. So when we got back to the house, we got in our PJ's and right when I was getting ready to lay down on the floor, I hear Belle.

           "You don't need to sleep down there anymore. Come here." She softly says as she then lays on her side and moves over on the bed, with her back facing me.

          I was surprised that she wanted me to lay beside her. She wanted me to sleep with her in the bed.

          So I get up and I slowly walk towards the bed and as I gently get under the covers, I decide, without even thinking about it to start putting my arm around her waist and begin to gently kiss her shoulder as I felt her place one of her hands in mine and we fell asleep cuddling. Which was something I had never done with another woman before, nor wanted to ever. I must admit though, it felt nice.

          My god, what is she doing to me? Whatever it was, I loved it. However, U can't stop thinking about the conversation her and Rob had at the fair. I hope she does tell me what they really did talk about.

Sorry for the short chapter. But next one will be longer. :) and sorry if this wasn't too good of a chapter. I might edit it later, but so far, I like it the way it is right now.
Next chapter will be posted soon! :) Soon as in tomorrow. Since it is 11 pm here. I will work on next chapter when I wake up. But hope you enjoy this one for now. :)
