Mr. Blue and me-Parallel Universe

The favor

Half an hour later, I'm outside my boss's  office, waiting for his secretary to let me in

"Miss Cara, u can come in..." I hear him saying as his secretary opens the door, getting out of his office. I immediately get up from the couch I was sitting and go in his office. His secretary closes the door, leaving us alone

"So? What brings u in my office so early,Alexa?" He asks me

"Well, I-I want to ask u for a favor..."I say almost stuttering, with my palms sweating as I hold my purse's shoulder stripe with 2 hands

"Hey, hey...relax! Have a seat...want some water?" He asks concerned

"No, no! I-I drank so much that I might as well go and pee in the corner..."I say as I sit on a chair in front of his desk

"Shit..."I curse myself closing my eyes when I realize what I said, making him laugh

"I'm-I'm sorry...I should probably leave, I'm wasting your time!"I say as I get up ready to leave

"No no! Stay...u're quite entertaining! But, besides that, I want to know what u want to ask me that makes u so nervous..."

"It's not what I want that makes me nervous, but the act itself...I've never asked u for anything before!"I reply sitting back down and I leave my bag on the floor

"I know and I appreciate it! So, what can I do for u on a hot day like that?" He says resting his back on the chair and his elbow on the arm of it, with his index on his lips

"I would like to ask about some days off..."I finally say

"U have a leave next month, don't u?"

"I do! But I kinda need a week now..."

"A week? What for?"

"Personal reasons..."

"Personal...I see...does it have anything to do with the man who u were kissing with yesterday?"He asks making me freeze

"What?"I ask him 

"Didn't u hear me?"

"I-I did..."

"So? Answer me the question...and don't lie to me!"

"K-kinda...it's a really long story! I don't expect u to understand, but I really need this...I was waiting 25 years for this!"

"Was he a lost relative or something?" 

"Kinda...I really can't say more!"

"Ok, I won't pressure u, but are u sure u want to lose a week from your official leave, to spend it with him, when u can have a whole month with your son before he leaves to study in Washington?"

"Don't make me look like a bad mother or something..."

"I'm not making u look like anything, I'm just pointing some things out...does his wife know that u're planning on leaving together?" He asks tilting his head on the side with a grin on his lips

"H-How...?"

"How I know that he is married? Anthony Blue? Are u serious? Do u have any idea who u're working for?"

"U-u know him?"

"Him, his wife, his children, his wife's dad..."

"I'm screwed, aren't I?"I ask him

"I don't know...are u?" He asks but before I can answer, someone knocks on the door

"Not now, Sarah..."He says, thinking it was his secretary knocking, but then the door opens

"I'm not Sarah..." I hear Anthony's voice saying and I turn on my seat to see if I heard right

"Mr. Blue?" My boss asks with surprise in his voice.! When I turn to look at him he looks like he saw a ghost

"Aww...don't look too sad! U can fuck Sarah when u give my lady her days off!"Anthony says, closing the door behind him

"What-*clears throat* what are u doing here?"

"I certainly didn't stop to say hi...I knew u would make Ms. Cara's life hell, so I came to make sure she leaves from here with a smile on her face!" 

"I-I didn't..."My boss tries to say but he cuts him off

"Look, Sammy...I know u were banging my wife last year, and I don't know if u still do it, but I couldn't care less! But what I really care about, is to have Alexa all mine for a week...so, be a good boy and give her a week off, starting form Monday, without cutting it from her leave next month...and don't u dare not pay her for that week! Am I clear?"He tells him,resting his hands on his desk

"Anthony, u don't have to-"I try to say still trying to process what has happened, but he lifts his hand making me stop

"Am.I.Clear?"He asks again

"S-Sure! Ok, Alexa, u can have your week off..."My boss tells me and I fight my urge to say that I don't want it

"Thank u...I really appreciate it!"

"And make sure, for your own sake, not to make her life a leaving hell when she comes back...and of course don't run to my wife crying about it..."Anthony says and then turns to leave

"Come on, baby..."he tells me and I immediately take my bag and get out of the office, almost running away from Anthony

"Alexa! Wait..." He says making me stop and turn to look at him. When he is close enough, I bitch-slap him hard on the face, turning his face to the side

"Are u crazy? Why did u do that for?"He asks grabbing his cheek and turning his face to look at me

"One time...one time I tried to stand up for myself and ask for a damn favor and u came to fuck it all up!"

"Fuck it all up? From where I see it, I fucked nothing up..."

"Yes, u did! Now he'll think I'm one of those women who follow men like dogs and have no self-esteem...fuck u very much, once again!"

"Alexa...are u serious right now? Is this how u thank me for helping u?"

"Helping me? U made me look like I can't handle my own shit! What u did, equals getting fucked from your boss to get a promotion...and I didn't want that!"

"All I did was save u from this bastard's roasting...and don't tell me he didn't make u feel like shit!"

"He did, but that was my problem...everything is my problem since the day I met u and fell in love with u! My life has gone to shit after that goddamn day!"

"Alexa, u're overreacting...don't say things u will regret later!"

"Regret? HA! Let me laugh...I won't regret a single thing I'm saying! The only thing that I regret, is letting u back in my life...letting u control me once again! Like I don't know how u want to have control and power over everything..."

"Now, u're jumping in these conclusions because I made the guy crap his pants...very mature!"

"Want to talk about maturity? Fine...let's talk about maturity: U walk into my boss's officenlike u own the place,bu raise your hand to cut me off like u own me, and now u're waiting for me to thank u? Does this sound mature for a 69-year-old man? George has more maturity than u! So now, do me a favor and leave, I have work to do...and since u wanna hear it sooo bad: thanks for the days off, but I'm not gonna need them, after all, so all this act, goes down the drain..."I say turning to leave down the stairs. A couple of steps down, I stop and get back up

"And take this with ya, I don't need it anymore..."I say getting the ring off my finger and putting it into his pants' pocket. Then I turn to the stairs again and start going down...
