Not Your Typical Billionaire

I Support Her

Let me just say, I don’t know if she was just going easy on me or if she was just not supposed to cook today but it was easy cooking with her. She mostly had me plate up the food and help her cook. I wanted to do more you know really see what she does for dinner; see her in her natural environment. Although I will admit we did cook some shrimp Alfredo with asparagus, bacon and spinach. That was fun to cook with her; oh we also made orange creamsicle cake and vegan chocolate chip cookies for dessert for everyone. It’s nice to see her just cooking; she fed Lysander his dinner before we cleaned up the kitchen for the night.

“Do you want to help me prepare breakfast for tomorrow?” She asked looking in her cabinet.

“What were you thinking of making?” I asked

“Crepes or Crème Brûlée French Toast? Which one do you think you would like to eat?” she asked turning to face me as I dried off the counter.

“Well since you call my coffee caffeinated crème brûlée, I’m going to pick the French toast.” I said she smiled shaking her head.

“Have you ever had a crème brûlée before?” she asked turning back to the cabinet, she closed the cabinet before heading over to the bread rack, she grabbed 2 loafs of brioche bread.

“No I can’t say I have.” I said as she handed me the bread.

“Slice those into thick pieces.” She said placing a cutting board on the counter. I grabbed a bread knife and started slicing the bread. “I’m surprised you have never had a crème brûlée before.” She said putting a pan on the burner. She started melting some butter and brown sugar in the pan as I finished cutting the bread. Why is she making it tonight? Why not wait until the morning to make this?

“Why are we making it tonight?” I asked she lifted her up in shock to hear me in here. Did she forget I was here? How rude of her to do that, well I guess it’s not often that she has help with work.

“Oh its overnight French toast, it’ll soak over night and then I can just slide it in the oven when I’m ready to cook it.” She said

“Did you forget I was here?” I asked she pulled the pan off the burner turning to me.

“No… here I need 4 eggs, half & half, vanilla extract and orange flavoring in a measuring cup.” She said pulling out a sheet tray. I smiled following her directions completely; I sat on the stool as she finished working on this overnight French toast. She has to make this for me one day because I don’t know how this would turn out. I hope delicious because it smell like it is going to amazing, I will admit it does smell a little like my favorite coffee order.

The fact that I could come and help her cook dinner instead of going to the office to maybe get some work done, I’m so freaking happy right now. I’m counting this as a victory for me; she even made it so I could come into her house. I was fully prepared to stay in the kitchen until it was time to go. I did have to swear that I would never come over when she’s sleep or not home. That understandable we barely now each other, I would be on edge too letting someone I barely know into my house. But I mean come on I’m not a creep just little awkward, I literally am sitting on the floor while she goes changes out of her work clothes.

I just thought they were her street clothes, but I guess she has clothes that she wears just for work. Maybe they were just dirty or something, or maybe she just wanted to think over the poor life choices she made. You know the one that lead up to having some random guy stalk her as she like to put it. She finally started walking down the stairs in a pair of purple fuzzy shorts and a black tank top with her hair in like medium size twists. She put her hair in twist while she up there? How long have I been sitting down here? Whatever she looks so beautiful like that; I looked down at the off television as she reached the bottom stair.

“Okay 3 things, 1 why are you sitting on the floor?” She asked walking up to me I looked up at her smiling.

“I didn’t know the rules for being inside your house.” I said I turned to Lysander who is laying across the whole couch staring at me. “Plus he looks comfortable I didn’t want to move him.” I said okay I’m a lot awkward, but she I’m in the girl I want to be with for the rest of my life, house. I mean come on what else am I supposed to do? Its was cool in the kitchen because she was barely paying me any attention. Now I’m in her house waiting to spend more time with her, like wow.

“Get on the couch.” She said giggling at me, “Ly you know better, he’s a guest and you don’t sit on the couch unless I’m there.” She said walking over to the couch, Lysander jumped up before jumping off the couch. She sat down the right cushion before patting the stop next to her. I stood up from the floor and walked over to the couch sitting on the far left cushion leaving the space between us open. “Okay, 2 why didn’t you turn on the television?” She asked reaching for the remote that was sitting on her coffee table. I shrugged watching as she turned on the television, putting on the news, she watches the new?

“So I didn’t know you watched the new,” I said

“Only for 15 minutes, otherwise I get depressed.” She said before turning to me completely, she looks like she’s thinking really hard about something.

“3?” I asked interrupting her thought; she bit her lip before turning her away from me.

“Why are you so different when you’re wearing your doctors? Like you’re so confident and comfortable around me, but when you’re in your other clothes you kind of just are sweet and awkward. Why?” She asked oh she has noticed it with other sisters help. I let a long sigh before turning away from her.

“Because I can’t really be me at work I have to be confident and calm or no one will take me seriously. Who wants a doctor that’s awkward and shy? No one so I kind of put on a mask whenever I’m at work. So no one has to worry should they trust their doctor about an autoimmune disease.” I said

“Really?” She asked I started laughing turning away from her trying to not laugh in her face, I shook my head a I turned back to face when my laughter died down.

“No, I’m naturally confident and calm but when I’m around you I just don’t know how to act. That’s when I become shy and awkward; it’s around you that I lose self-control.” I said she was looking away from me with a slight tint of pink on her cheeks. I made her blush without hurting her or something weird happening, “Well some of the time I still struggle to be myself when I’m working.” I said

“I had no idea…” She said before turning to face the television refusing to look at me, “Well what do you want to watch or talk about or do?” She asked

“Well what do you normally do?” I asked

“Well I take a bubble bath or just a shower and watch Netflix maybe go outside to play with Lysander then talk to you.” She said she doesn’t do a whole lot for herself, the most she does is watch Netflix or take her bubble baths. “What is that too boring for you?” she asked turning her head to face me, she sounded slightly annoyed.

“No it just seems like you never do anything for yourself.” I said

“I… don’t need to.” She said now turning her eyes away from me trying to avoid my eyesight. She ruffled her twist slightly, I didn’t mean to call her out like that but it’s true she is always working. When she’s not at working, she is taking care of Elena, when she’s not doing any of that she sleeping and taking care of Lysander. When Elena is done with her treatment, I’m taking her on a trip somewhere nice where she can relax and maybe pick up a hobby. I mean not like a trip for couples but a trip for…friends hanging out.

What does just hanging out like friends look like when it’s with the love of your life? I’m sure I could do it but honestly do I want to? She has never been in a proper relationship they all kind of just left her after 2 months. Again she puts her sister and work first, so they feel left out and ignore, she says she has never really cared for anyone other then her sister. News flash, she also cares for the Wilsons and her coworkers/neighbors. I swear if she would let me in like she did all those people, I would show her I’m not so bad.

“Well Lysander wants to kill me, so let’s go play with him so maybe he’ll start to like me.” I said turning to see Lysander glaring at me; he is fighting growling at me. I guess I took his spot and his owner from him. Maybe if we play together he’ll trust me, or maybe he’ll kill me and bury my body behind her house. I hope it’s the first option, because I’m not ready to lose a fight to a 4 month old wolf.

“Lysander is going to behave because he’s my good little boy.” She said causing his tail to wag slightly, but he refuses to stop glaring at me. Nope he’s definitely going to kill me and bury me in the backyard. He hates my guts so much he’s probably planning my death right now, “Lysander are you my good little boy?” she asked he turned his head to her wagging his tail harder. “You’re my good little boy; do you want to play with Ezra?” She asked his tail completely stopped midair before he turned and started walking upstairs. Did a wolf just turn me down? Am I not appealing? Aundreya started laughing uncontrollably as Lysander turned to me about half way up the stair. He continued going up the stairs before disappearing up there out of our sight.

“Wow I have never been so offended by a wolf and its owner.” I said I was voted the most eligible bachelor, of course not off my looks. Wait a minute am I not attractive at all? Was everything that guy from earlier said a lie? Did all of my ex-girlfriends lie about my looks?

“What do you mean?” She asked in between chuckles.

“First you reject me like 20 times and now your wolf has rejected me, I can only take so much rejection before I start to become offended.” I said she is trying to so hard not to laugh in my face again. I swear I’m going to go home and take another look at myself in the mirror; she leaned over to grab my hand in the hope of that making me feel better.

“I’m sorry but Ly is just so protective of me. I’ve been taking care of him for almost a month now.” She said I understand she’s so sweet and loving. I’m a little mad that he left her alone with me; if I could I would never leave her side.

“I understand, I just… just… never mind, so let’s just watch some Netflix.” I said as she wiped her eyes. “Whatever you pick, we’re just hanging out.” I said she turned to the television before flipping it over to Netflix. She flipped through the shows and movies, and oh my God this woman is a little scary. She has watched things like Black Summer, Gerald’s Game and In The Tall Grass but also Incredibles 2, Sugar Rush and Nailed it. She watches such a wide variety of things but as long as she’s happy remain me to apologize about the needle thing. She squealed before landing the Rim of The World, she turned to smile smiling.

“Its not scary but it’s super cute and has aliens and apocalypse theme.” She said before sitting up straight.

“I know you love scary things so just put on something you enjoy.” I said

“But you don’t like scary so we can do cute.” She said shrugging placing the remote on her lap, she kicked her legs up on the couch on the side of her.

“Well whatever you want to watch I’m happy with it.” I said smiling as the movie started, I won’t be here all night just until her bedtime. She was really into the movie; I know she’s seen it before because she’s saying some of the lines with the characters. It was a good movie; I love the idea of children saving the world from an alien attack. Something lightly pressed on my shoulder; I turned my head to see her leaning on my shoulder. “Dreya? Are you sleeping?” I asked as I lifted her head up slightly to see she’s asleep, I smiled leaning down to place a kiss on her head.

This woman is going to be the death of me; I don’t know how to tell her how I feel about her. I picked her to be with for the rest of my life, even if she doesn’t pick me I’ll always love her, protect her and support whatever she does. Who ever she picks, I’ll support her, as long as he treats her right and loves her more then what I do know. I grabbed the remote out of her hand turning off the movie; I placed the remote on the arm of the couch. I warped my arms around her legs and back lifting her up off the couch. I headed up to her room with her in my arms cradled up against my chest; she’s so tiny in my arms.

Lysander, who is lying in her bed, looked up at me and jumped to his feet. I smiled as he noticed she’s asleep and he jumps off the bed, I laid her down on the bed before pulling the covers up over her chest. I leaned down placing a kiss on her forehead, I want to so badly kiss her on her lips but when she’s awake. Lysander jumped onto the bed, laying next to her looking up at me. He turns his back to me laying his head down at her side; he finally isn’t trying to scare me away. This hang out was perfect, nothing went wrong and we were comfortable being ourselves well she was I tried to be.

 I need to head home so I can get to bed and go to the office tomorrow; we have to do this again hopefully soon. I started to head down the stairs I’ll call her tomorrow maybe during her break; I smiled softly as I exited her house. I started walking towards my car when I noticed Daniel and Alice sitting in the garden. She’s sitting on the bench reading a book while Daniel is lying on her lap with his headphones in. That’s what I want in the future; to be happy where ever we are doing our hobbies together she can watch Netflix while I study. I can picture it now; Alice looked up from her book before waving at me as I walked passed them.

I waved back to her as I continue walking towards my car. They are truly couple goals, when Daniel can become quite protective of Alice. My guess is because they met in school and they started off as friends, but over time they just fell in love. I need to get home and sleep the office is going to be a long day. I finally reached my car when I noticed the guy from the kitchen, Jacob hoping out of a cab. He looked up and noticed me at my car; he walked up to me as I unlocked my car. He reeks of alcohol; he leans up against my car as I opened the door.  

“Hey you’re not staying the night?” He asked he turned his head to me smiling. “You know if she’s doesn’t want you I’ll take you.” He said

“Trust me; I’m too much man for you. You won’t be able to handle me.” I said he groaned before rolling his eyes,

“You think she can? I have handled more men in her entire lifetime.” He said that is why I would never be tempted by people like him. All they do it sleep with anyone who gives them the time of day.

“That’s why I like her; she’s different from you typical whores.” I said Jacob just started laughing; he shook his head before pushing himself off my car. “Look you’re her friend; I’m not going to talk about this with you.” I said

“Well I just want to tell you… she’s been through a lot. You… better not hurt her or I’ll make you regret it. I looked you up… and you have a past and messy one at that. I don’t care if you’re… super rich or… super hot, but I will… use all of my power to hurt you.” He said trying not to slur his words.

“I know you probably won’t remember this later but I’m not scared of you, in fact I would fight you right now if I wasn’t busy. I love her and I want to be with her for the rest of my life and in the afterlife. If I hurt her, it’s in the bedroom and it’s between both of us, she is my everything so do me a favor and mind your own business.” I said

“Hey I’m the one who’s… supposed to give the big…speech.” He said

“Don’t worry Elena beat you to it and Daniel and Alice, trust me I get it she’s such a great person. Now if you’ll excuse me I would to go home and sleep, and you better not go wake her up.” I said before climbing into my car, I closed my door. I turned my car on as he tapped on my window; I turned to him rolling down my window.

“You know she doesn’t actually like you. She’s only doing it to pay you back for helping her sister. If you cured Elena tomorrow and dropped dead the next day, she would not care she wouldn’t attend your funeral. She won’t love you like you claim to love her.” He said I shook my head rolling my window back up causing his face to turn red; he started knocking on the window right as I pulled off. He has no idea what is talking about, he’s drunk out of his mind. Never listen to words of a drunk man, they’re full of lies.
