The rest of the ride to work, we both didn't say a word. And I didn't care. I was too mad at him anyway. Maybe it's best if we don't have dinner tonight. I don't like the sudden change of his moods. It confuses me.
We arrived at the building and Jonathan opened the door for me. "Thank you, Jonathan."
"You're welcome, Miss."
"Jonathan, please call me Amabel," I said with a smile. He nodded his head and gave me a smile. Wow! That was the first time I saw him smile. I guess he doesn't smile very often. Considering he's working for a man with sudden mood changes. How he manages to keep working for Trevor, I'll never know. Then it hit me, I won't be working at Walker Corps if Trevor's father steps down.
We entered the building as Caleb said, "Good morning, Mr Walker... Miss Avery..."
"Good morning, Caleb. Please, call me Amabel." What is it with these people? I don't like being called by my last name. It feels weird. My whole life, people called me Amabel. And I like it. This is just strange. When he saw me talking to Caleb, Trevor placed his hand on my lower back and said, "Keep walking." He pushed me to walk faster.
What the hell is he doing? Ordering me around? I hate this.
We walked past the reception desks and I could see them checking Trevor out. It made me jealous, but then I realized that I'm probably not the first woman he's slept with. We got into the elevator and still he hadn't said a single word.
When the elevator doors opened, I stepped outside. He grabbed my hand and pulled me back. The elevator doors closed and he pushed me against the elevator. He looked at me with hunger in his eyes. And then he kissed me roughly. Usually it starts gently, but I don't even recognize him right now.
"Trevor, stop," I said and pushed him away.
"Why are you being like this?" he asked.
I chuckled. I cannot believe he is blaming me. "Why are you being like this? We had a wonderful night together, this morning was something I've never experienced in my life. And I loved it. But ever since the car, your mood changed like night and day. I don't know how to be around you. First, you won't let me be with anyone else. You always find me, even when I don't want to be found. Actually you track me down. Then, you're flirty and seductive as shit and it makes me crazy. And then, you're like a whole other person. I can't be with someone who does that."
He didn't say a word. Shit! I hated that I fought with him right now and I hate it even more that I want him. Right here... Right now...
"I have to go," I said and pushed the button to open the door.
"Can we still have dinner?" he asked.
"Maybe we shouldn't tonight," I said softly because I don't want to hurt him. But right now, he's hurting me. Before he could respond he said, "Amabel, let's talk about this. Amabel..." and then the doors closed.
"Trevor..." I said to myself.
I turned around and kept walking. "Good morning," Ella said. I smiled at her as I passed her. "Hey," I said. I went straight to my desk and waited for Mr Walker to come out, being really mad at me for being late. I can't exactly tell him that I spent the night with his son.
"Hey, are you okay?" Ella asked as she came around the corner. I sighed and kept looking at the many emails from businesses wanting a meeting with Mr Walker. I turned my head to face her.
"Yeah. I'm fine."
"No, you're not. What happened?"
"Amabel!" Mr Walker called. I sighed hard and grabbed my notebook and i-Pad. "Duty calls," I said and stood up, walking to his office.
"Good morning, Mr Walker."
"Nice of you to finally show up to work. We have a meeting in two minutes. Come. We're going now."
I've never seen this side of Mr Walker. Now I see where Trevor gets his moods from. What have I done to upset him like that? I'm upset about him treating me like that and now that I'm in trouble because I'm late which is his fault.
"I'm sorry, Sir. It won't happen again. The meeting is in conference room twelve. I'm ready if you are, Sir," I said barely looking at him.
"Let's go," he said and walked out of his office, passing Ella. "See ya later," Ella said. I gave her a smile and a wink.
Mr. Walker and I got in the elevator and pushed the button to floor fifty six. "What's wrong with you this morning, Amabel?" he asked with concern. I kept my head down.
"I didn't have a nice time coming to work. I don't want to bother you with it."
"I guess it has to do with my son?" he asked, looking at me. How the hell did he know? I looked at him with my eyes wide open. I knew, I'm gonna lose my job.
"Mr. Walker it's-"
"Don't even bother trying to lie. I know you went on a date. I don't care, Amabel. As long as he treats you right, then it's okay. You must tell me when I should hang him up, alright?" he smiled. Well, that went a whole other direction than I expected to.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"Because my wife went through the same thing with me. My son is too proud to admit when he wants something. When he feels something. He's stubborn. Like me. I never admitted that I loved my wife until I nearly lost her to someone else. I can try to tell Trevor all I want, he won't listen. It's something he must learn on his own."
"Mr. Walker? Can I ask you something?"
He looked at me and nodded. "Why is it okay with you that I work for you and the fact that I went out on a date with your son?"
"I don't ever want to be the kind of father to deny my son happiness."
"But I don't think I am the person to make him happy."
"Amabel, believe me when I say this. The way my son looks at you, I've never seen him look at anyone like that before. He's falling in love with you, my dear."
Holy shit! He's falling in love with me? "I don't think so. He is so mad at me. And I don't know what I've done to upset him."
"What happened?"
