Chapter 14

Blair's POV

I had just finished pricing the cans and putting them in their respective isles. I felt a uneasy feeling growing in my stomach.

Gilbert's been gone for a while...

He couldn't be...

No, I shouldn't think that of him. As his girlfriend I'm supposed to trust him, but I can't help but feel nervous.

He was making a delivery to Betty of all people. He used to have an affair with that woman, not to mention how she's extremely beautiful.

I sit on top of the 'check out' counter, chugging a bottle of water nervously.

I groaned "how long do you think making a delivery really takes? Definitely not a full 30 minutes".

Lamson chuckled at my nervousness "darling, your overreacting, there's no way Gilbert would cheat on a beautiful young lady like you, much less with a married woman, any man who's done that is a complete moron" he says.

I chuckle "yeah, your probably right".

As if on cue, Gilbert came bursting through the front door, almost breaking the little bell on top.

I smiled at him "hey-".

I didn't have a chance to get words out as Gilbert ran over to me and gave me a bone crushing hug.

He pulled back enough to look at me without breaking the hug and left small kisses all over my face.

"Babygirl, you have no idea how much I missed you" he said kissing my forehead.

I smiled as I returned his embrace, basking in his warmth.

"Thank God your back, she's been worrying her head off about you" Lamson said to Gilbert laughing.

Gilbert looks at me guiltily "y-you have?".

I shrugged "it's fine, your here now, why'd you take so long?" I asked.

He stuttered for a second "u-u-Uh mr c-carver found me and brought me to his office for a talk".

I froze.

"Wh-what'd he talk about?"

He stared at me for a second, trying to read my expression before he just shook his head "nothing just insurance".

I nodded letting out a sigh of relief.

Mr carver also came to talk to me. He gave me a proposal saying he'd pay me to sleep with him. I was obviously disgusted and repulsed therefore I denied right when he said that.

I didn't tell Gilbert because I don't want him to worry. Knowing him he'd probably punch mr carver in the face if he knew.

I smiled as I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his around my waist, crashing our lips together in a passionate kiss.

Mr Lamson chuckles "see nothing to worry about darling".

I pulled away and smiled at Gilbert.

Yeah, I have nothing to worry about.

Me and Gilbert were sitting on his porch. Ever since ms grapes little speech towards me, I told Gilbert we'd be better off outside than inside.

I had my head on his shoulder, Gilbert had one of arms around my waist, his other hand interlocked with mine.

"I'm sorry" he spoke up suddenly.
