I was looking through my documents and Amelia was sitting besides me , telling me about the job she lost , it's like she wanted me to feel sorry for her, anyway she seemed sad about the job she missed , her eyebrows lowered and pulled closer together , the inner corners of her eyebrows angled up and her lips drawn in tightly, for sure there was sadness in her face and I felt a bit sorry for her. She was sitting looking through the documents , and I could see that her Heart was not thinking about what she was looking at ,she was so deep in thoughts.
It's the first time I loved working with someone, I liked Amelia's attitude, she was really a good girl ever , she was a girl who could do her job well , I really liked everything about her , I don't mean that I love her …..No I can't fall for her I can't ever do that shit
"Aiden , I want to ask you something " Said Amelia
It was my first time I heard Amelia saying those words . I knew that she was always afraid of me , and she never talked to me either , we could spend like 10 hours without talking to one another , just the two of us in the office was something boring ever and I didn't like it too
"Aiden can I have an extra job here ???"Said Amelia in a quiet and attractive voice
I returned to look her in her face , she was already near me , exactly near me that I could hear her breathe too , I looked up on her blonde hair which was falling down to her chest , and I looked straight in her eyes and her lips which had a little lip gloss , Amelia was really a beautiful creature ever , I really adored everything about her , she was beautiful and smart too
"Aiden are you catching feelings for her " I asked myself, those are the words that were crossing around in my mind and in my thoughts, but I knew that I can't fall for her , and I can't ever think of that , but I wonder why whenever I look at her , especially her face I start to think a lot especially I jump to relationship whenever I stare at her and yet I knew that she wasn't my type. She wasn't mine anymore.
But I admit that she was beautiful and I wondered why I wanted us to be like that always , our faces close and ….. "Ugh ! Shit this is too much,
"Aiden are you okay???" Asked Amelia
It's been a long time since anyone asked me how I was and now Amelia was asking me if am alright. I knew that My mother loved me but she seemed like not caring about my personal life anymore, instead she always asked me how the business was running, our yearly income , things like that
"Aiden what's wrong " Amelia kept asking me because I was genuinely looking at her but without saying anything. Our faces were a bit close.
"Excuse me "Jessy interrupted
She was standing behind us and I knew she thought that we had already kissed , and it seemed like she interrupted because even Amelia immediately looked scared when she saw Jessy. I knew that Jessy loved me and she declared her love for me several times .
Jessy used to be my girlfriend from a very long time ago since high school , but no matter I caught her sleeping with another guy , especially a guy who was my best friend too . And now she is always after me asking for forgiveness and I know that I don't ever have a plan of forgiving Her
"Jessy what do you want ???" I asked but all I saw was sadness in her face ,
"I just brought these documents here , and Sorry again for the interruption "
I knew that she Didn't mean what she said because she was really sad
"Jessy you didn't interrupt anything "Said Amelia
"It's okay "Said Jessy as stepped out of the office
". So Amelia you want an extra job ?"I asked
"Yes"
"Like what ??? What else can you do ???
"Either cleaning and …
"Amelia you will be my secretary and you will be cleaning too ????
Those things sounds to be embarrassing , imagine seeing her with me in the office as my secretary and again you see her with the cleaners
" Amelia do you think that you can perform different things at the same time ?
"Aiden we have a serious problem at home and we need some extra money plzzz help me , Aiden I can do anything for my family "
she said and there was tears in her eyes . And a single tear rolled down her cheek and it's like she felt her throat closing up , and tears streamed down her face , her words broke up and all she could say were stuttering sounds and hot tears streamed down her face , and she squeezed her eyelids shut in the hope her tears would stop . Her choppy Breathing and watery eyes remained for quite sometime and she sat unmoving .
"Hey don't cry " I said as I pulled my chair close to hers
"Aiden my dad is ..."she tried to say more but she got shocked up
I gave her a puzzled look "What about your father ??"
She lowered her head trying to find the words for what she wanted to tell me
"Aiden he needs a lot of money to be treated, and am doing this for my father , besides that, my sister needs to study too and my mother can't do everything alone "
I suddenly felt sorry for her , she really had a lot of personal issues to take care of , it's just seeing her smiling but she wasn't inside . She was really sad and she had a lot of problems. She was crying so hard and her eyes were turning into red , she really had a lot of tears that she couldn't even talk.
Our chairs were very close , I just pulled her close to me and she rested in my chest . I wouldn't have done that , pulling her close to me meant something else and everyone who could see that would think that there was something else going on between us .Her tears were falling on my white shirt ,and her head in my chest , I tried to touch her blond hair but I couldn't. And I felt like I was comfortable when she rested in my chest , why is it Amelia???why do I always feel a sudden change in me whenever I am with her !? Those are the questions that I used to ask myself .and I felt as if she could always be in my chest forever and always.
"Aiden what are we doing??? " said Amelia as she looked in my eyes and as she wiped her tears
" Amelia I don't know if you can do cleanings and be my secretary at the same time "
" Aiden, when it comes to my family, I can do anything trust me "she insisted
" Amelia maybe you can start working in the weekend too instead of cleaning and you can start working extra time here but you don't have to prolong at night since you've got to come early in the morning too"
That was the best choice , letting her take the time in the weekend instead of cleaning would be a better idea .
" yeah Aiden I think that's the best idea "she insisted
As I looked on my watch I noticed that it must be break time , it was already a time for having lunch
" So Amelia hope you are fine enough to take your lunch. Or if you want some privacy you can come with me and have lunch together "
"No Aiden that's too much , I'm fine , anyway thanks "
I didn't know why I felt sorry for her but maybe it's because her story was a heartbreaking, she really had a sad story .
We went to eat and had a small break and came back in the office
We worked and as time passed I looked on my watch and noticed that it was getting dark.
I was sitting on my chair staring at her as she worked and I noticed that There was something in Amelia's hair , it seemed like a small thread in her hair
"Amelia what's that in your hair ???" I said as I helped her to remove it and we were so close as I heard someone calling me
"Aiden "
I heard someone calling my name and it was Jasper my best friend, who was also Amelia' s friend, she came closer to us and greeted
" guys how are you ? " he asked as he took the chair which was near him
"Fine " Amelia and I spoke at the same time
" Amelia why that sad face "asked Jasper
Jasper was Amelia's friend and I didn't know why he was so worried about Amelia just asking her about her private life.
Or this is too much , why can't he be worried because of Amelia??? Amelia is her friend too I don't have to make it something else .
"Jasper it's nothing "
Jasper was coming to pick me up because we usually go out every night after the whole stresses that we passed through the whole day . Just the two of us decided to go grab a couple drinks at our favorite bar and Jasper was a best drinker that he could even drink the whole night in a bar until the waiters become restless and order him out ,And I loved spending time with Jasper because he was a very good friend of mine and we were friends since my childhood . I arranged the documents and before I left Amelia stared at me
"Why are you looking at me like that ???" I asked
" it's nothing" she replied
" so Amelia take your time and reduce all your stresses , and Byeee see you tomorrow "
I said as I stepped out of the office with Jasper.
We went straight in the parking and took my car and headed to our favorite bar . The vibe is the bar , the vibe is the people, the vibe is the culture of our place . The bar was simply the fine stage . There was a hundreds of conversations told in loud voices , all of them competing with the rock music that dominates the atmosphere . The music were very loud and actually I didn't love being in a noisy place , I liked drinking at home but Jasper wouldn't allow me , instead he liked taking me out every night to realize the atmosphere of New York City during the night . And I loved standing to the top of the building (rooftop) and stare to the beautiful houses in New York City, the air , I mean the cold air blowing slowly towards me and sniffing the scented and beautiful air from the atmosphere , looking down wards and see a crowd of people crossing each other and many cars crossing each other , it really made a beautiful picture of New York City and for sure my words can't do justice to the beauty of New York City, it was really an artful and colorful place and it would make those who had money to spend it madly . As I was sitting Jasper approached me with two drinks . I was sitting at the rooftop staring to the city
" Aiden let's drink " he said as she started pouring in the glasses and we cheered, she sat beside me and started talking
" Aiden is there anything between you and your secretary???" He asked and looked at me straight in the face
" No, why ??? Jasper I can't hide anything from you
"Just the way I found the two of you in the office, looking one another, I thought that soon you are going to show us your girlfriend " he said as he smiled faintly
" Jasper you know me right ??? I can't fall for a girl that easily " I said as I looked in front staring at the tall building which was in-front of us and Jasper didn't say anything.
there was a little silence no one talked
" Then why can't you fall for her ??"he said as he broke the silence
" because I can't" I said and smiled faintly and we cheered for our second drink
The night was great with Jasper, we had all funs and went home
