Lean On Me

You? Pt4

BELLAS POV.

It's less an hour until I finish my shift, And let me tell you that time has never went by so slow. I take my eyes off the clock, Maybe it'll go by quicker if I stare at it. It's the same almost every day, The phone ringing, This computer, I breath out as I lay back against my rolling chair, Staring blankly into the bright lighted up computer screen and that's until being interrupted by a knock on the door, "Come in, Ash." I say in a slight shout, Sitting up straight and rubs my temple as the door opens for me to only see my one of my best friends, Ashley.

"DID YOU SEE HIM? OH MY GOD, DID YOU SEE HIM?" Ashley says as she blurts out randomly, I knit my eyebrows at to what the hell she is talking about? Have I seen him? Who? "Oh my, Inside voice. Ash, Inside voice. What are you talking about?" I speak over to her loudness as she continues to fan girl over this unknown man, "The new guy, He just started today and he is FINE." She admits another time, And I couldn't help but roll my eyes at how much she was gassing up this man. "I've never seen you this excited and jumpy since my wedding day." I mention as I walk over back to my desk that's a mess, But I ignore that and just close my laptop shut. "I mean duh, Even though I can't stand Jack and he knows it too." She sucks her teeth at the thought of Jack runs across her mind, Placing her hands at her hips as she sees me giggle at their hatred towards each other. "Okay Ash, I don't need you beating up my husband at this moment. Right now, I need coffee. Coming?" I chuckle softly as I push her through the door with me following behind.

Meanwhile as Ash talked my ears out through the little walk to the lounge to grab a cup of coffee, "Ash, If I could duck tape your mouth I would." I joke, Grabbing a small cup from the choices of a large or medium, Giving her one as well. "What are you going to do later now?" I question her after work plans as my back faces her, "Well, I'm not sure. I might go see Aaron again." I quickly turn around to face her with a slight frown on my face when she said that, "Ashley, What about your husband and kids? You do know that you're married right? I've already told you about fooling around." I lecture her as I turn back around, Facing the items. Grabbing a hold of the coffee pot that's steamy from the outside, Pouring just the right amount, Just-enough to last the both of us. I arch my eyebrow as I hear her smack her lips.

"Yes, Mother. I know." She giggles, I shake my head at when she will realize what she's doing is completely wrong and selfish, I just sigh as I know I completely cannot control her actions and behavior. "Oh man, Is there enough left for myself?" Lowly a voice asks from a distance, I swallow hard. Probably loud enough where it could be heard, I recognize that voice. It can't be. No. I'm just losing it. I finally make myself look aside me and to the door, To only see the man I thought I'd never see again. "That's him, Bella. This is Michael Jackson, He's recently just started working." Ashley smiles from ear to ear when she catches an eye of Michaels presence.

MICHAELS POV.

Standing in the doorway, I couldn't believe my eyes. It couldn't be her? Right? I glance once more at her before noticing that it is. "It's nice to meet you." She says softly with a soft smile, I can feel her body react to me being the same room as hers. She doesn't know how to react to this. "Pleasure is all mine, Bella." I say with a grin, Breaking contact with her for the first time when randomly looking down to see a diamond ring around her pretty little finger, She's married?

As the silence lingered around the small room, My heart felt different when she started to spoke up after a while, She was beautiful than ever, Man. "Well I should get home by now, I'll call you later sometime Ash and it was really nice to meet you.... Michael." Bella broke the silence to say her goodbye for the day, I noticed that she paused before saying my name. Placing her cup on the counter before walking past me like if I was nothing. She never even lifted up her head to look at him one last time, She just avoided eye contact again. Rubbing the bridge of my nose as I think, Maybe it was a bad idea to come over here. Wait, No. I didn't know? Why should I feel bad? I had no idea she would even work here, It's been years since we've seen together. "Well I guess I should get going to, I'll see you tomorrow in the morning, Ashley. Is that correct?" I squint my eyes at hoping I got the name correct, "That's correct!" She smiles as she raises her voice a bit, Maybe excitement? "Ah, I got it. You take care." I say as I adjust my jacket, Before being the second to walk out.

Walking through the silent hallways to the elevator, Something tells me to look up and I do to think of it but I was wrong, I look to see Bella. She was getting ready to leave her office and to lock up for the night, I couldn't help but think of the moments we shared at one point. But they're just memories to me now, And there's nothing I can do about it. This isn't weird right? I mean I'm not being some stalker,

I just accidentally ran into her presence. Breathing in sharply as I take my eyes off her and continue my path to the elevator to head home, "Oh man, It's only been a day." I chuckle when thinking of how things will go after this, I changed her life and she changed mine when we laid eyes after years. Entering the elevator, Hitting the lighted up colored button before leaning back against the wall as the only Bella crossed my mind over and over again and I couldn't stop it and honestly, I don't think I want to.

I bet they both and you guys didn't see that coming. Anyways, What do you think will happen? What do you think Michael did to make Bella refuse to look after him? Well I guess you've have to find out, And that'll only happen if you stay tuned.
