Episode 12

I pulled out some Doritos once I was in her apartment and sat in front of her TV to continue my Adam Lee movie since she too already have the movie

Few hours later, Peter texted me 'Thinking about you' which I ignored. I continued my movie and have already started enjoying being unemployed when another message popped up on my phone

'Where the hell are you?' from Jason

"Arrogant asshole" I murmured and continued my movie

'Why are you not in your office?'

"Ask me one more time" I said with a mouthful of Doritos

'Lexi, for God sake where are you?'

'I owe you no explanation' I texted back

'Lexi, I'm sorry. Just come back to the office, let's talk it out'

'There is nothing to talk about sir. I fired myself' I texted back and switched off my phone

"Lexi what is wrong with you?" My subconscious asked to me "Why are you behaving like this? You want a job, he gave you one with good sex. What else do you want?"

"I know what I want and I know what I don't want. I don't want to be anybody's good fuck, I want something more. I want to be respected, loved, cared for" I replied back "and I don't want all those from another man but Jason because he is the one I love"

"Love!? Since when?" My subconscious asked

"Since...I don't know. I think since our first night together" I replied

"But he doesn't love you"

"I know. That's why I won't be working for him anymore"

"And you think that is gonna work?"

"That is the only solution that I know of. You get a better solution?"

At last, Cynthia came back from work, looked at the situation of her sitting room and shook her head

"Don't tell me you are enjoying this?" She asked

"What do you expect me to do? Kill myself?" I replied with a mouthful of Doritos

"Did you really fired yourself or you got fired?"

"I fired myself"

"And you're comfortable with being jobless again?"

"Of course, I will rather become jobless than to continue working for that arrogant bitch"

"What happened?" She asked

"I'm sure you would have done the same"

"What happened?"

"He got under my skin. I caught him cheating on me and he was comfortable with it. He was telling me he owes me no explanation. How do you expect me to continue working for such a Man?"

"Did you caught him red handed?"

"No, I suspected him but he didn't denied it" I said with a mouthful

"Stop eating like that, it's annoying"

"Because I'm jobless doesn't mean that I should starve myself to death" I said with another mouthful

"Did he really said he cheated?"

"No, he didn't say it that way, he just said he owes me no explanation"

"And that makes you think he cheated?"

"Wait, whose side are you on?" I said with a mouthful to annoy her more

"I said you should stop eating that way, it's annoying"

"I said whose side are you on!?"

"Wait a minute! Alexi, don't tell me those are my Doritos"

"Who else would they be?"

"Don't tell me does are mine?" She asked again while getting up to confirm it

"You don't have to stress yourself, they are yours"

"You know I don't joke with my Doritos, right?"

"This was exactly what it felt like when you ate all my chocolate cookies in college"

"That was a long time ago"

"Long but not forgotten, today is the pay back day. Please get me a Coke on your way back here"

"Get it yourself"

"Are you that mad?" I joked

"Extremely"

I turned on my phone around six in the evening and sent Judith a quick message that I would be spending the night with Cynthia because I have the feelings that Jason would come visiting, and I was about to turn it back off when his messages came rolling in

"Don't you really want to talk to me?"

"I have a two hours meeting to attend right now, I will call you as soon as possible"

That last message was sent at 3:45pm, which means he will be calling at any moment from now. I turned off my phone immediately because I didn't want to take chances.

We continued the movie and made sure to finish the season before going to bed.

"Will he really die for her?" Cynthia asked me while we were getting ready for bed

"I don't know. I don't know what is going to happen if Adam Lee dies" I replied

In the last episode we watched, Adam Lee have to make a choice. It's either he chooses the wicked princess, princess Emily and live or Jessica, the poor girl he loves and die

"Who do you think he will choose?" Cynthia asked

"It's a very though decision, I don't want him to die and I don't want him to choose Emily"
