Married to Three (bxb)

Chapter 13- Party (1)

It had been two days since the interview. There was no one else at home apart from me and Tom . It gets lonely in such a huge mansion without Pat to give me company. I knew that once he will be here I won't get much time to focus on work so I decided to make use of my alone time and study the sample designs and blueprints sent by Mr. Smith my boss over email . He had told be to assist him in his work initially and later on he would provide me independent tasks. My first assignment was to study the samples and then propose my own designs using those samples as baselines. I had started working on my designs as well. Pat would be coming sometime around evening today and I was excited to tell him the news of being hired. I don't know how he would react but I am my own person and can make decisions for myself.

It was 2:00 P.M in the afternoon by the time I finished my first draft for the design I was supposed to submit next week. My Gummy bears were growling with hunger and as if there was telepathy, Tom knocked the door peeking his head inside.

"Master Evan lunch is ready. Do you want me to bring it here or prefer having it downstairs?"

"Thank you Tom, I will come down . I have been cooped up in this room for too long so better take my ass out of this room",I replied grinning and closing my laptop and picking up the papers spread over my bed.

Tom smiled in response and closed the door as he left.

Once I cleaned up the mess I made while working, I went downstairs to the kitchen.

A delicious aroma hit my nose and my already starving Gummy bears roared with hunger.

"What are you making Tom", I asked as I started peeking over the containers on the kitchen counter.

"I have made fried chicken and creamed corn along with green bean salad", he smiled.

"Yummy". I did not wait another second and took out a plate and poured a huge serving of each and went to sit in the hall eating peacefully.

As usual the food was delicious, all thanks to Tom the master chef he is. I took my plate to the dishwasher once I was done and washed it even though Tom insisted that he would do it, but I denied him.

I decided to lay on the sofa in the living room and watch TV while waiting for Pat.

"Boo hhaaaaaaa".

I startled awake at the sudden noise near my ear. I must have dozed off. There stood with a smirk my stupid husband Patrick Sharkey. That pigeon, never stopping with his jokes.

"Was there a need to do that?", I grumbled.

"Ofcourse babe, how else would you have known about my arrival", he said in all innocent manner shifting me on the couch and sitting beside me.

"Yeah right", I flicked him lightly on his head.

"So how was work?"

"It went well, all sorted now ", he sighed as he rested his head against my shoulder. The gesture stirred something inside me, I don't know what but the feeling was a good one not bad.

We sat like that for a couple of minutes, not saying anything and then I decided to break the news to him.

"Guess what Pat?", I chirped happily.

"Guess what Ev?", he replied lazily.

I flicked him again not in a subtle way this time.

"Ouch that hurt dude".

"Serves you right. Anyway.. you know what, I GOT A JOOOOB", I squealed. All the pent up excitement coming out .

This caused him to sit back and he turned facing me.

"A JOB? WHY?", he asked, surprise written all over his face.

"Because I want to work, that's why. Besides I need the money. I don't want to leech on you guys", I told him crossing my arms.

"But why Ev? And what is this bullshit about leeching? You are a part of this family , you don't have to go out and work for others to get money . I thought Dad must have provided you with a credit card?"

"Ofcourse he gave me the card but as I said before I won't leech over you guys. Besides, what is wrong me getting a job. I thought you would be happy for me", I retorted becoming angrier that the one who is closest to me in this faraway country is unable to understand me.

"Hey hey hey...", he said holding my chin turning my face towards him.

" Okay I am sorry. If you want to work you can work. No one is going to stop you. And ofcourse if you feel happy with it then I am happy as well. Now what's with this face hmm.. ", he said in a soft voice.

This caused my anger to vanish away. Somehow Pat's approval meant a lot to me and now that he told me that he is fine with me working I was back to my happy self.

"Yay.. ", I shouted making the victory move and hugged him tightly him hugging me back.

"Now that the dramatics are over, let's celebrate", he said excitedly.

I nodded still hugging him grinning widely against his shoulder.
