Crossing Lines & Breaking Walls

Running Shit

WARNING!!!! MAY CAUSE SOME TRIGGERS!!!!

"So you told Alana?" Odell asked later that night at dinner while cutting his center cut and putting a piece into his mouth. I took a sip of my lemon water and nodded my head.

"Yes." I answered while placing my glass back on the table and folding my hands in my lap. 

Odell chewed slowly while eyeing me before being satisfied with my answer and nodding his head. 

I watched him eat and looked down at my plate of spicy shrimp and chicken pasta and sighed...I swear I hated when it was his turn to be in charge.

Every since that night in his office we have had an understanding...one where he loved to be in charge and I just couldn't let that happen...fully. So we came up with a...not so healthy balance...

"Everything?" His question knocked me out of my thoughts and I shook my head.

"No." I spoke a little too quickly and while looking down at his plate; I saw a slow smile creep onto his face.

"Good girl." He spoke after a few minutes and I quickly looked away when his chinky eyes landed on me.

I picked up my glass of water and took a slow slip, I looked around the restaurant and smiled a little to myself...this place was fancy...a place my ex never took me.

"Fuck..." Odell grumbled to himself and my eyes went back to him. I watched him look down at his phone with an unpleasant look on his face.

"What's wrong?" I asked while placing my glass back down and watched him chew on his bottom lip. He clicked his phone off and went back to eating like he didn't hear me.

"Odell...everything okay?" He once again ignored me and I raised a brow at his behavior. He was a bit fidget all of a sudden and refused to make eye contact.

 He was nervous...

I watched him a little longer; feeling the shift in the air. Whatever was on his phone must have been something that would set me off, but ignoring me was not the answer.

That was trigger one...

Before he took another fork full of food into his mouth; I grabbed his hand and leaned forward so he was forced to look at me.

"Boy you better answer me and I mean answer me now." I demanded through clenched teeth and I watched him close his eyes and sigh out.

"Amber..."

I stand corrected...SHE was trigger ONE...

I released his hand and leaned back in my seat. Odell kept his head down and licked his lips while I just watched him. Without looking away from him I held my hand up to flag down our waiter.

"Yes ma'am?" I heard and looked up at our waiter and smiled.

"Yes uh...I need this to go." I pointed to my plate and the waiter looked down to see my food wasn't touched and a look of concern came over his features.

"Is everything alright ma'am, you haven't touched your food." He asked and I smiled sweetly at him.

"Oh everything is fine...I just rather eat it later." I shrugged and the waiter smiled a little and nodded his head.

"Okay, well I'll box these up for you two-" I held my hand up and pointed to Odell's plate and shook my head.

"Oh he's done with his food...just mine will be boxed up please." Our waiter looked a bit puzzled and looked over at Odell, but he never looked up.
