All About Her

Chapter 13 : About Moving On

Naomi

Many and a thousand thoughts were running in my mind. It was clouded and I was speechless. There was so much going in my head that I didnt know hell what to say. Teleportation would've been the best solution at this point and it was so unfortunate I ddint have it.

Tucker was my boss - like my boss, boss. Like I worked under him hello.
Tucker was hot - like real hot, he was super nice amd warm to in general.
Tucker was very considerate too.
But it was so sad and ironic that my heart wasnt.

I was considerate - I am to this point but with the things going in my head I was half dead and unconscious. It wasnt like I had someone or didn't like him - just that - there was a lot going in my head again. Thus my reply.

'I think youre mistaken.' Was what I managed to put together.

'I am not Naomi. It's you. I want you, ' he answered so quickly- too quick for me to gather my next response or excuse.

Tucker laid one of his hands on my thigh and gently squeezed them giving me a warm smile that was just making me feel disgusted in a way. Dont blame me, hello I was starting to have weird and disgusting thoughts in my head.
Me and Tucker.
Noo. No, no. Hell Na!

'But-,' he had to cut me off.

'It doesnt matter if we are business partners or whatsoever. Just give me a chance' He looked me deeply in the eye.

'I - I just dont think I can do this.' I stammered and without thinking twice I thought the best thing to do was stand up and leave before he thought of adding anything that would jumble everything more.

I picked my bag as fast as I could and stormed out trying to remain calm and stop all thoughts till I reached home.

'Naomi! Wait!!' I could hear him running after me as I rushed downstairs and exited the restaurant.

Tabby.
He was right about all this. He had every right to not like him. Or to even be jealous.

This was all so fucked up.

I quickly got into the nearest cab and was soon driven home.

Not the thought of how awkward it would be when Monday came and I had to work. My stupid ass forgot he was my boss and things wouldn't be the same.

Dinner was over, Jae and I were seated on the porch outside. The fresh warm breeze of late May crippled up our skin.

'You and Lee back?' Lee suddenly asked as we looked at a distance.

I was taken by surprise with what she said and it made me turn to look at her put of words and waiting for an explanation but she looked blank.
'What? She called me the other day.' She turned to look at me.

'No. No, what did she say?' I asked.

'She was talking about how sorry she was about everything " Lee informed.

'What did you say?" I ask again after nodding. I knew how hurt Jae was with how Lee made me and cause of the loss.

'Well. I kind of just said ok and forgave her" She said almost in a guilty tone.

'What?' I gasped in surprise.

'What? Sorry. I just wanted to forget everything and all. You should too,' Jae glared at me.
Bart.

I understood Jae just took that decision for me to move on and for all of us to forget Lee but it was just out of the blue.

'I will - I have. She said she wants to have lunch tomorrow. It's probably about that.' I shrugged.
