The bad boy wants to protect me?

Work dragged on, it was fairly quiet so i couldn't even busy myself working. I was just left there to sit around and get lost in my own thoughts. Which wasn't a good thing.

I replayed last night over in my head about 5 times before i came to the conclusion that i was an idiot. I can't beleive i told him. I hardly know him, i regret telling hiim because he can't even respect me enough to return the favour.

It's hard when you pour out your biggest secrets to someone yet they don't trust you enough to tell you about their past. It hurts that he can't trust me enough. Thinking about it in my head is just making me more and more angry and it's stressing me out, i've already snapped at a customer today. 

Great that, my second day and i'm always being rude to customers. 

"You okay Addison?" I looked up to see Lucy looking at me with a worried look in her eyes. "It's just you've been staring so hard at the desk for the past couple of hours i thought you would burn a hole through it." She said with a chuckle. I laughed with her.

"Yeah i'm fine, it's just.. stuff at home i guess." I said trying to be discreet. She nodded.

"Anything i might be able to help with?" She asked. Hmmm, how can i phrase this to get her advice but not give any details. I don't know her well enough to disperse all the information yet and quite frankly i don't have the energy.

"So i told someone close to me a secret, but when i wanted to know one of theres, they didn't want to tell me, and it's kinda pissing me off yano? What am i meant to do about that?" I asked warily.

"Well i can understand why you'd be annoyed but they're probably afraid that you aren't going to accept it. I mean you don't know whether you will or not until you hear it but they might just be trying to deal with it themselves before they let other people deal with it with them, yano? I've been in that position before and although it may be hard right now, you need to be patient and accept that they might not be as ready as you are to put their trust in somebody else." She said softly. 

It kinda made sense to me now, Ladan had only got that thing last nigth and he was probably just trying to process it by himself without any interuptions before bringing me into it. I mean, he hadn't even found out who had sent it and why and i was already pressuring him to tell me everything. I realised i was being a bit selfish. While i had had 10 years to process and understand what had happened to me, he had hardly had a coupe of hours to process what was going on.

I decided then that i would wait for him, no pressure.

"Thankyou so much Lucy." I said.

"It's alright and if you ever need a night to cool off just give me a call and we can go for some drinks, my numbers in your phone." she said and walked off with one last wink towards me. I smiled at her back. I'd never felt so comforted before in my life.
