Chapter Fifteen

Cole's POV

Weeks had passed, I was still staying with Mitch at the hotel.
I had to admit I enjoyed waking up to Mitch and the day to day occurrences we would go through it might have been trivial to most, but it felt nice to be in a relationship, it felt right and I was not as lonely as I use to be.

Darius hasn't tried anything on with me since that day, I did get the feeling he would stare at me far too long but I thought I must be seeing things and I tried not thinking about it again.
I didn't tell Mitch what happened either, I knew he would be angry, although there should be no lies or secrets in a relationship, I didn't want Mitch do something stupid.

I was working, it was morning in the office when my phone rang, "hello Miss Andrews" I didn't recognize the voice, "hello, who is this?"
"It's Mr. Wilson, I rent the cottage off you in Little Hampton" "oh hi, is everything alright?"

"yes, sorry to ring you at work but I wanted to let you know, that we will be moving out of your grandparent’s cottage this week, I'm afraid that me and my partner have split up and we can't take this place on without each other, I have paid up till the end of the month, and everything will be moved out of the house by Friday"

"I'm sorry to hear that Mr. Wilson, there's no need to pay up till the end of the month if you're leaving at the end of this week, pay only till the end of the week"

'Call me Aaron, it’s only fair till you get someone else in to the property? Unless you're coming back home?" he sounded optimistic, "well thank you Aaron, I can't see me coming back, I work here and I'm happy?"

"Glad to hear you're happy? you deserve that" " thank you, you say Friday, I will try to get the day off and I will come and visit, maybe I can see the local estate agents while I'm there?"

"I will see you Friday Cole?" "Bye"
I thought if I could get there and back in a day I would get to see Mitch over the weekend without any disturbances, sad I didn't want to be without him, all I had to do was ask Darius.

I knocked on his door, "Come in" "hi, are you busy" "not for you, what can I do?"

"I wanted to take Friday off?"
He didn't look happy, "Can I ask why?"
"I have to go back to Little Hampton, the tenants are leaving, need to check the house and sort out another tenant? I know its short notice"

He seemed more relaxed, "that's fine, take Friday off, will you be going with lover boy?" I felt annoyed with Darius but he did let her have the day off.
"No, I'm going on my own?" he looked concerned, "will you be alright, do you need a lift?" "no thank you, I will be alright, I will leave you carry on, thanks again" "anytime Cole" he smiled.

I left the office, I was relieved to get out of the office, now I had to go back home on Friday, it was going to be hard to see my grandparents’ home again.

I came back to the hotel after work, Mitch wasn't back yet, he was always later than me, I decided to go for a run to clear my head and prepare myself for Friday, I ran around the park listening to my music on my I pod I strapped it to my arm, I felt better for running, it always made me think clearer, it had been a while I made my way back to the hotel.
When I got back to the hotel room, Mitch was walking around with his phone in his hand looking worried, he turned and looked at me, he looked pleased to see me, he took the phone from his ear.

"Cole where have you been?" I looked down and signaled with my hands what I was wearing, it was obvious, "can't you see I have been for a run?" I smiled

"Sorry I didn't notice what you were wearing, I was worried when you were not here and you weren't answering my calls? I thought something might have happened"
He went to hug me, “I'm sorry I worried you, I thought I would have been back before you came home, but you will not want to hug me, I'm sweaty and I smell" I kept moving away from him, "I just want to hold you, I don't care if you stink"
Mitch went to hold me again and I dodged him, making him chase me, "Mitch, let me have a shower then you can grope me all you want after" "now I want you more "
