Chapter Six

Olivia

I felt much better on Thursday. I had gotten enough sleep. And the day went faster than usual. I was back to being Jason's working assistant. My usual attitude towards him was also back apparently because we couldn't stop arguing. It got so intense at one point that he said to me, "You forget that I'm your boss and that I could fire you ina second." In front of my coworkers. I got so embarrassed that I shut my mouth and was obedient for an hour before remembering who I am.

Apparently Julia was always available to him to do his bidding as his main assistant, and now I've taken over her tasks. I don't know how to feel about that especially because we live under the same roof currently. It feels a bit weird. Where I'm supposed to knock off at half past five, I now don't have a time to do that. Julia had a driver and a car at her whim, I also have those at my disposal but I'm actually sharing all that with Jason, he says it will be easier especially because we live together, I think there's more to that but I don't want to look deeper into that.

I'm currently browsing through the net for a place to live that's near work, I don't realise that Jason is standing behind me until he speaks.

"What are you doing?" He asks me even though he can see what I'm doing. Just as I'm about to answer him my phone rings, I've been ignoring it half the day. My brother wants an update o what is going on. I don't have the heart to tell him I moved out and I'm now living with my boss. It stops ringing and I turn to look up at Jason.

"I'm looking for a place to stay obviously. I'm sure you're tired of me living in your place by now." I don't have to speak low, there are currently no employees at this time. Its eight at night so everyone has gone home, leaving me with him.

My phone starts to ring again, and I decide to answer it, even though Jason is still standing behind me.

"I was going to call you, you know." I answer the phone.

"Really? It's been two days and you haven't updated me on what's going on." He replies sharply.

"Because I'm trying to get through my mess and I know you're going to be overbearing."

"So caring about my sister is overbearing now?" He says sounding hurt.

"I'm sorry, that was rude. I moved out, I'm between places currently and I haven't spoken to Mike since I found them on my bed." I say laying my forehead on the table.

"You can always come live with me for a while until you have a place." He offers.

I laugh out loud at that because the last time I went over to his place we couldn't stand each other and kept bickering.

"I love you, I really do, but you know we'd kill each other if I came to stay with you. I'm good where I am."

Thomas has gone back to his office, giving me privacy with my brother and I'm grateful for that. The conversation between my brother and I goes on where he asks me how it's been since I spoke to Scarlett, my so called betrayer best friend. I haven't spoken to her since that day too and she hasn't even bothered to call and apologize, which makes me think that my brother was right, she never really cared about me. Mike on the other hand has been calling me everyday. I had to block his number because he does not want to stop calling. He even tried calling me with different numbers, as soon as I realize it's him I drop the phone.

We end up organizing a meet up on Saturday to catch up. I'm glad that we are going to meet because God knows it's been long since I've seen my family. I miss those days where we would all gather at home for Sunday lunch. Maybe I can convince my brother to organize something for all of us to meet. Everyone sent messages checking on me in the previous days, I also received a call from my mom telling me to make time to pay her a visit.

"Liv, are you sure you're ok? I mean with the whole cheating thing?" He asks me before we disconnect. Honestly, I'm still processing how I feel. But now my involvement with Jason, or lack of maybe, is making me a bit confused. I'm hurt yes, but since crying and screaming that night, I'm ok I guess.

"I'll be fine Toby I promise." I say to him and wish him a good night.

When I look towards Jason's office, he's putting his laptop in his bag, prompting me to do the same, when he comes out of his office, I'm already getting up from my desk and rounding it.

"Let's go home." He says, making me stumble, because that sounds too domestic, even though he's being sincere. I don't say anything and will myself not to think deep about it.

When we get to his place at nine, I go straight to my bedroom to change to my pajamas, when I come out he's pulling dishes out of the fridge and puts them on the counter next to the plates.

"You know it's not healthy eating this time of night?" I say even though I know he physically pays for it with his workouts. The man is built nicely. Not too much, but his bulging muscles tell a story that he could lift me without straining a few muscles. Fuck, there I go again. I know I'm blushing red so I decide to take take out a cup so I can make myself a cup of tea.

"I'll be fine." He says with a little smile. He nods at the cup on my hand and asks "I take it you're not having anything to eat then?"

"No sir. I don't eat after half past seven, I need to watch my figure." I say after plugging the kettle and listen to it boil.

The kitchen then goes quiet save for the kettle and microwave. When. We've both gotten what we want, we move to the dining room table. I know it's not necessary for me to drink my cuppa here, but I just wanted not to drink sitting alone. We both finish what we got through silence, but I know he wants to say something. I sit still waiting for him to talk, hoping that he will talk about the night he kissed me, at the same time hoping he will talk about something else. He finally stands up, picking up his cutlery and taking my cup and starts heading to the kitchen, I follow him there for some reason. After rinsing them he turns to face me, while I'm standing by the doorway and silently looks at me.

After a while I decide to bid him good night, but he stops me by walking towards me and holding my waist.

"I'm going to kiss you again, because I can't get the first kiss out of my mind, then I'm going to take you to my room and kiss you some more while I strip you naked. As much as these pyjamas look sexy I really just to take them off you right now." He doesn't give me time to reply him, he just takes, like he said he would. And the first contact of his lips on my makes me moan as I feel a spark going straight to my pussy.
