Be mine

Chapter 3

ABBYS POV

I stalked back to my desk. What a jerk but god he was handsome as hell. His perfectly styled spiked jet black hair his stern blue eyes was like looking into the ocean. his tall strong muscular build almost ripping out of his suit. It’s a real shame about his rich prick attitude he had going for him. ah well I turn on my computer and sent him the schedule for this week I also sent the presentation for the Central Park house re design what his father asked me to do making sure to add a note

‘Your father asked me to do this please delete if no longer needed

Abby

The rest of the day went by fairly quickly and was almost 6pm. home time I began shutting my computer down as MR Black walked over to me I looked up at him with a blank expression “hey Abby I’m sorry about being short with you this morning, it’s just you are my assistant not my servant. I respect my staff and the job they do. If it wasn’t for you lot I wouldn’t be where I am today I have no right to ask for any my staff to wait on me hand and foot just because I’m the boss when I capable of looking after myself” I was a bit taken back with his apology. I really wasn’t expecting that maybe I read him all wrong “it’s fine” it I said nearly a whisper “ the proposal you sent me, I was looking over it and we’ll I must say it’s brilliant. I was wondering if we could have lunch together tomorrow to go some minor details”. s**t. If Eric finds out I had lunch with another man he would flip. I suppose I could alway call him and Jaxson before the lunch “yes that fine” trying to look anywhere but at him. I always feel so uncomfortable around men. I know I’m not pretty. I have no confidence or self esteem. I used to be confident I used to love dressing up to go out. I loved meeting new people. But now I just being around them I just the world to swallow me up. It’s only when I’m with Jaxson I feel a bit like my old self. I want him to get the best out of life.

MR Black seemed thrilled that I’d agreed and with that we both said our goodbyes.

I made my way through the building I could feel my excitement to see Jaxson but it’s almost overpowered by the feeling of dread knowing Eric’s going to be in a foul mood. I know I shouldn’t be with him, I know he doesn’t love me , I don’t even think he loves his own son but I still stay with him and I have no idea why I find it impossible to leave him. It’s not like I need him I’m the one with the job I have family, friends who would love to be part of my life again and I know I don’t love him I don’t think I ever really have. I know I would be much happier on my own but still I just don’t seem to be able to leave him jeez what the hell is wrong with me.

My phone begins ringing pulling me from my thoughts I look at the scene expecting it to be Eric but it’s my mom “hi mom you ok” I say cheerfully “ hi sweetie how’s that beautiful grandson of mine doing” she absolutely adores Jaxson “ his doing good” I say “when are you guys coming down to see me” I wish it was easy I used to see my mom almost daily but Eric hates it when I go round so the only time I get to go now is when Eric’s with me. He thinks all we do is call him when I’m there all I can do try to pacify her “ real soon mom I promise, I need to go mom I will call you later I’m just about to get in the car” we both knew it was lie I wouldn’t call her back later she knows a little of what Eric’s like but to the full extent with his paranoia and selfishness and she doesn’t know about the things he calls her I love my mom but I don’t tell her anything because I know she worries “bye sweetie love you”

“Love you to mom”.

I arrive at the front door to my home and I take a big breath before walking in . Jaxson runs straight over to me wrapping his arms around me bringing a smile to my face “she does care about her son then” Eric said venomously I chose to ignore him “anyways I’m starving what’s for tea” I knew he wouldn’t of cooked anything. He can cook he just chooses not to and he would of just given Jaxson snacks all day to keep him quiet. “I need to check what’s in I didn’t have time to go to the store today” I said as made my way to the kitchen “if you’d of done as I asked this morning and phone in sick you would of had time” he retorted. I just continued into the kitchen and looked through the cupboards I shouted through to him “pasta bake with home made garlic bread”. Eric stormed into the kitchen “I’m not eating that s**t do you know what just f**k off to bed, I’ll starve” he said snarling at me he didn’t scare me. He’s never hit me its just words with Eric but to save argument I pick Jaxson and take him upstairs luckily Eric won’t sleep in bed he stays downstairs so I get to have some time by my self. Granted it’s not a lot but still its my time. I get Jaxson to sleep in his bed then I went and relaxed with a book in mine before falling asleep.
