Digital Souls | Running Away From Love: The Prodigy

Prodigy

I shouldn't be mad. I haven't known him for long. Did I miss something where he mentioned he was the owner of the company I work at that I love so much? I have no right to be pissed. We've only started talking.
Then why the hell do I feel so fucking upset? Shouldn't this be vital information?
Shit!
Millions of questions cartwheeled through my mind about what I just learned.
What the hell do I tell him when get back down there?
Another thought dropped through the wheel spinning in my mind.
Rhonda. Rhonda knew this information and didn't tell me.

I wanted out. I wanted to go home. I also realized I can't just get in a car and take off. I'll have to call Uber.
Okay, Katana. Get it together. Snap out of it.

I walked out of the room and walked to the door across from it. It was the bathroom. I walked in and fixed myself. I fixed my makeup, my hair, my blouse, and my skirt.
I pulled myself together. I braved myself to face everyone downstairs, and walked back out.

JASON

I leaned against the wall finishing my beer while I waited for Katana to come back from upstairs.

I stood talking to a few of the guys from game testing. When I finished my beer I walked away to grab another. I saw Marshall and a few other company reps by the bar. Of all the noise I heard surrounding me, Katana's soft gentle voice speaking behind my ear, made me pause time, alluring my attention. She walked away toward the backyard. When she spoke, it sent shivers down my spine and the rest of the world did not exist at that moment. And then, I realized how cold it sounded and what she had just said.
"Nice library, Prodigy."

I snapped out of it.
Shit!
I followed her out to the backyard. I stopped at the patio. I scanned for her and spotted her sitting at the fire pit. No one but a few people were outside, and I didn't give a shit if they heard exactly what was about to go down. I walked to sit next to her on the marble bench in front of the pit.
She stared into the fire. She looked more sad than mad.

"Katana.." I said carefully.
"It's fine, Jason." She said gently in her soft calming voice. Fuck, now I feel like so much shit that I didn't tell her sooner. I threw out a bunch of tiny hints, but so well that worked out.
"Katana.. I..."
"Jase, I said it's fine. I'll see you on Teusday, Jason." She got up abruptly and went back inside. Fuck, she looked so fucking sad.

I stayed sitting at the fire pit for a while. Shit, I can't let her leave. I need to fix this. I rubbed my face in my hands with regret of not being honest sooner. I sighed and took a deep breath. I went back inside to go find her.

I walked around my whole place and not a single Kuma could be found. I asked Marshall if she left Or had seen her. "No, but I saw her out front with Rhonda. And Sabrina was lookin for you."
Who gives a shit about Sabrina!
She must have taken an Uber back home. No one is gonna give a single shit if I'm gone for a few minutes, hell they won't even notice. I grabbed my keys and snuck around to a weird secret door to my garage. Some Batman shit.
I pulled my phone out before I drove out of the garage.

Me: I'm sorry, Kuma.

I text. I waited a few minutes before I took off. No text back. On the way to Katana's house. I took a shortcut once I made it down the hill. I needed to know she was okay. I needed to know that we were okay. I trolled her beautiful heart for so long in our company's chatroom and I know for a fact she already hates me for it. The shit I said to her_
I'm barely on her edges of good graces and here I go to fuck it up by literally being Jason Lewis Shinzo. I was born who I am, and I've never hated being me so much in my life as much as I do in this moment right now. I can't think of anything but her. I pulled up to her house.
