Its Complicated

Quatorzième Partie

*Closing Time*
I checked the clock near me: closing time (8:00 PM). I continued working, until Anna Kaye told us (me, Desiree, Jesse, and Kathy) we're officially done.

Joe worked till I was done with work. During the past (almost) two days, whenever I work and clean Joe's tables, he would thank me by saying "Thanks, babe." He makes me smile no matter what.

You know, when I'm bored at work or stressed out a little bit, I would go sit down for a while in the break room. Joe would see me, become concerned, go tell Bren and Tracy that he's going to sit down in the break room to relax a little, and he talks to me.

Like this happened twice in the past day-and-a-half.

*Flashback: Yesterday Afternoon*
I fell silent during the day because I'm separated from Joe. I checked my watch for my heart rate: 118. I panted, and became really stressed out. Regina noticed me being silent and stressed, and she suggested me to go to the break room to relax for a while. She'll let Anna Kaye know.

I grabbed my mask, put it on, and went out of Room 3 to go to the break room. Joe saw me, and he told Tracy that he needs to relax for a while. He went to the break room, and sees me with my head down on the table. I'm crying because I couldn't handle being separated from Joe.

"Babe, can I sit down?" he asked me. I scooted, still my head down, crying and sniffling.

Joe looks down at me, feeling concerned. "Morgan, are you stressed because we're in different rooms?" he asked me, looking at me and rubbing my back.

My head lit up. Tears streaming down, and I cried. I nodded at Joe. He signaled me to come to his chest. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders to my waist, while I sobbed on his chest.

"Shh, it's okay, Princess. We'll go talk to Jay and Tracy about this," he says to me.

With that, he stood up, and put out his hand for me. I took it, and we walked out of the room to go to the managers. We went through the kitchen to Room 3, and went out to the front to the office.

With his arm around my shoulders, we walked into the office to see Tracy and Jay. Joe starts, "Jay, Morgan is having a problem working while being separated from me. It stresses her out. When she's stressed, it makes me concerned for her. Is it okay if she and Anna Kaye switch rooms for tonight?"

"Oh, yeah sure, Joe. By the way, why are you concerned when Morgan is stressed? Are you two dating or something?" Jay asks, demanding the truth about us.

Joe looks at me. "Might as well tell them," I whispered to him.

"Actually, we are dating. We made it official today," Joe tells the truth to both Jay and Tracy.

"Whoa, that's... great. Morgan, you have some taste in older men. If you two are happy, we're happy for you guys," Tracy says, smiling and her eyes widened.

"Oh, we are. I love Joe with my whole heart. And yes, I get along older men than boys my age," I told her, smiling at Joe.

Joe looks at me, smiling, and we held hands to let Jay and Tracy know about us. They smiled at us at how cute we look together.

"So, it's settled, Morgan, from this point on, I'll make sure to put you in the same room as Joe. We don't want you to feel stressed here," Jay declared this to us.

Joe and I both looked at each other, smiled, and smiled back at Jay and Tracy (A/N: A recreation of Ringo Starr and Maureen Cox after their wedding in 1965, when they were interviewed by the press.). We walked out of the office, and went to tell Anna Kaye about the sudden change.
