Chapter 51- Almost Breaking Up
I quickly followed Anna into my office restroom and I found her kneeling in front of the toilet retching her guts out. I bent down to her as I removed the hair that was falling, almost entering the toilet.
" Are you okay, baby?" She nodded her head but she wasn't, as she threw up again and I made sure to hold the hair so it wouldn't touch her vomit, she had quite a long hair.
When the vomiting stopped, she slowly got up and I helped her as she walked to the sink to rinse her mouth.
Her eyes met mine in the mirror and I felt my heart hammering in my chest, was I going to be a father already? The thought made me so fucking happy, but I couldn't jump to any conclusion just yet, it could just be her stomach reacting to something she ate.
" Do you feel better?" I asked as I removed the hair falling on her face and put it behind her ear.
" Yeah, my mouth just tastes like vomit, otherwise I'm fine," She said, smiling up at me.
" Are you sure or I'd have to call the doctor for my own peace of mind," I said
" I'm okay Cole, I'm sure it has something to do with what I had yesterday," She said and I looked at her face searching if she was telling me the truth, I wasn't convinced, I wanted her to be okay.
" I'm calling the doctor,"
" No, no, there's no need Cole, I'm serious," She stopped me.
" Come here," I said as I opened my arms for her and she took my embrace resting her head on my chest while I patted her head.
I took her hand and led her back to the office as I made her sit on the couch, I had chocolate in my office drawer, I didn't get it for myself, don't look at me like that.
" Here, take this, it will remove the weird taste in your mouth,"
" Aww chocolate, thank you," She said as she collected it, I watched as she unwrapped the chocolate and without wasting time she started eating it, it was cute watching her.
She stood up and was about to walk out but I stopped her.
" Where do you think you're going, young lady?" I asked,
" I have to get back to work Cole, I've got things to finish up," She said, I wasn't having that, she had to rest, whether girlfriend or not if I saw any of my staff retching their guts out I'd tell them to take a rest, not to mention, my girlfriend.
" No, no, you're resting, don't even think of arguing with me,"
" But…" I pushed her back onto the couch, I knew she wouldn't listen, I just told her not to think of arguing with me, and she was already arguing.
" Fine boss, I'll rest for a little while," She said as she sat down watching me like a hulk.
She ended up falling asleep on the couch. I walked to her, took off her shoes, and made her comfortable on the couch and I bent to look at her beautiful face. She mumbled something in her sleep and it was one of the cutest things I've seen her do.
She turned her head which made her hair fall on her face, I removed the hair on her face and my eyes went to her neck where there was a light hickey, I wonder who put it there. Me of course, she sometimes makes me act like a beast when I touch her. She brings out the sex god in me. I couldn't help it, that was how crazy about her I was.
I went back to my chair to continue working but this beautiful woman was distracting me. I couldn't help it, I kept glancing at her every second, if she was an artwork I wouldn't want anyone to see her, I'd keep her to myself alone.
I heard her yawning as she woke up and turned around and then she gasped before quickly standing up.
" Why didn't you wake me up, Cole? Why did you let me fall asleep?" She asked as she quickly adjusted her hair and her outfit.
" You think I would wake you up when you're sleeping? You looked weak after throwing up," I said, why did she look angry? I was just worried about her, how would I wake her up?
" You should have, I'm your secretary I'm supposed to be working, not sleeping, we have a big day tomorrow,"
" Chill babe,"
" Don't babe me, call me Anna, we're in the office," That upset me in many ways, I was just trying to help and take care of her like a good boss and boyfriend, don't get me wrong, I know what you're thinking but I wouldn't tell just any staff to lay on my office couch, I might give them a day off, but Anna was my girlfriend slash secretary so she was an exception.
" I don't get why you're getting angry,"
" What if someone comes up to our floor and they don't see me in my office? What if they come more than once, what would they start thinking?" She was always worried about what people would think, didn't she really care about what I would think?
" Are you ashamed of me or something?" I asked, the words hurt my heart to say, I didn't understand her one bit.
" You're doing it again Cole, I've told you several times that I can never be ashamed of you and the only reason our relationship isn't public is that I don't want anything to happen to the image you worked so hard to maintain," At this point, I didn't care about a stupid image.
" Because you're really confusing me, I'm beginning to think you're worried people would see you with someone like me, an ex-playboy, you're worried they'd ask of all the men in the world you had to be with someone like me, is that it? You don't want to be seen with a man like me?"
" Where did you get all this from Cole? How could you think that?" She asked me in shock as she stared at me.
" That's how I feel right now, you always look panicked when you think someone might see us, it just makes me feel like you're ashamed of me or you don't want me, tell me if you want us to end this," Even as I said those words my heart squeeze in my chest, I didn't want to end anything with her, I love so much to a point that I didn't know I could reach loving someone.
" Okay then, let's stop this, let's stop all this,"
