I spent all night at the Hotel, Winter didn't come back. Even when I woke up she wasn't there. Needless to say I went home and got ready for another day of work. "Remi?" Remi is leaving this Saturday, which sucks.

I love her company so much, and were always joking and talking, "uh yeah Beige?"

"You have to leave on Friday right?" She laughs and looks at me.

"Sadly yes, I have to go back on tour," I hug her tightly, "I'll see you again sometime."

I sniff trying to hold back my tears, "I just feel so emotional every time you visit and leave, I love you ok?"

She kisses my cheek, "I love you too lil baby," I let go and go to the kitchen.

"Lemme make you some breakfast," she laughs and furrows her eyebrows.

"Don't you have work?"

"I can be late." I start making eggs, Bacon and cheese sandwiches. I make her favorite too, hot chocolate with whipped cream and cinnamon.

I serve her a plate and she fake moans, "I wish I could stayyy" I laugh and eat my sandwich.

I'm ready for work, I just wanna hang with her a bit. "Zenith!"

"Zenith come downstairs now!" Something hits me full force, he threw a pillow?

"Go away!" I laugh as he comes down the stairs.

"So you'd rather break my face than see it."

"glad you got the memo." He takes away my sandwich and starts eating it, "Mmm this is really good."

Remi nods and I roll my eyes, "anyways I'm going to work, just wanted to see if you were alive, bye."

I get it my car and drive to work, I can't say I'm not nervous I mean what happened yesterday was purely shitty.

I take the elevator to her floor, she's Veronica, she'll understand.

"Hey babe good morni-" I stop dead in my tracks. Veronica looks at me wide eyed and I give her that same expression.

"Uh..."

"Winter?" She looks back at me coldly with a tint of anger in her eyes. She has a gun pointed at Veronica's head.

"Good morning to you too babe." She says sarcastically.

I approach a little closer as slowly as I can, "Winter what are you doing."

"See Beige I don't like people touching my property, especially not entitled bitches like her." Holy fuck.

She glances at me and laughs, "you enjoy your little fit yesterday?" I look down, I hate when she's makes me feel bad.

"It wasn't like that-"

"I don't wanna hear anything from you."

Veronica gulps and looks at me confused, "h-hey don't...." She looks at the gun pointed towards her head.

"Oh I'm not gonna shoot you, it's too much of an inconvenience." She puts away her gun. Then what was that all for, she's fúcking around.

"What the fuck Winter!" I shove her and scream, she simply grips my arm and pulls me closer.

"So you fuck her or something, what is this, some CEO fucks office chick?" She laughs but I can tell she's angry.

"Winter look, I swear, we only did stuff in the past that's all." Why do I even need to tell her this.

She nods and looks at Veronica, "I hope you enjoy your trip to Russia," she kisses my cheek, "touch her and your dead." She shoves a bag towards me and leaves. I look at a traumatized Veronica, I walk up to her and look if she's ok.

"W-what the fuck was that Beige!" She starts hyperventilating, "W-what was that..what in the actual fuck!" She shoves me away and sits at her desk.

"Um, are you ok?" She looks up at me with the most defenseless expression I've ever seen.

She sighs, "who was that beige?" I sight too.

"Long story short uh...how can I say this, she thinks I had sex with you and she's upset." She furrows her eyebrows.

"No. She said some interesting stuff Beige. She pointed a gun to my head it's not the time to act dumb!"

I get nervous and smile, "um like how interesting?"

"Tell me everything Beige."

"Look Veronica I can't ok, it would just put you in danger." I go to leave but she grabs my hand.

I look at her, she's dead serious, "if you don't speak up today will be your last day in this building."

I furrow my eyebrows, "V you're not gonna fire me!" She is not joking, "fine sit down I'll tell you everything..."

***

So just like that Veronica knows everything. Well almost everything, I didn't tell her the finer details like how I've killed people or that Winter may or may not know everything about everyone around me.

"Shit." She says and runs her hand through her hair, "Jesus Christ Beige, "So she's making you do a delivery in Russia."

"Uh yeah, not really 'making' as much as that, but yeah I have a delivery in Russia." I sigh and hold her hand, "I'm real sorry Veronica, I shouldn't have put you in danger."

She kisses my cheek, "my jealousy was so high I was ready to take a bullet for you." I narrow my eyes at her remark.

"I should get back to work right?" I stand

"No, take the day off and get ready for our trip, I'll do the same," I nod and leave. Tomorrows dinner is going to be extremely awkward. I leave the building and get into my car. I planned to go shopping and learn a few greetings in Russian but I settled on spending some time with Remi before I went to Russia.

Her car wasn't at the house so I panicked and ran inside. She wouldn't leave without giving me a heads up, thats not like her. "R-Remi!!" I look all over the house in a panic. She left me, she really just left me without hesitation. "Remi!" I curl into a ball on the kitchen floor crying.

I'm not sure if I was moody but this felt off, why didn't she say goodbye. She left me in shambles again.....again. I start crying and clutching to my clothes for dear life. This is what I meant when I say I have a hard time with her leaving but to leave without telling me hurts too much.

Maybe it's my fault for not spending time with her, "I'm sorry." I say through tears. My heart ached again for her, fact is I didn't love her in a romantic way but I loved her still so much, in my own way.

"Beige....Beige." a hand grabs me as a familiar voice calls my name. They pull me into their hands and I realize it's Remi, "hey what's wrong who did this to you, who made you cry?" I hear the anger in her voice.

My own voice cracks, "I thought you left me....I thought...." I cling to her and cry. Her heart is pounding, I can hear it against her chest.

"Oh Beige." I hear her voice tremble, "I'm right here, I only when to the grocery store, I wouldn't leave without telling you." I cling to her just to make sure she's real, "please don't cry." she holds me close to her chest, "I sorry I left I shouldn't have done that." My lips begin to tremble.

She's talking about the first time she left me, "I'm sorry I couldn't make you happy, maybe in another life." I say with my voice cracking.

"You did make me happy I just wasn't ready for you, you're much too perfect for me."

Heheheh I forgot the timeline of the story so excuse me. I published simply because someone asked me to but I'm not sure I will continue.
