Chapter 14: Chapter Fourteen
Olivia
I hated my brothers sometimes, especially this one. The mamma's boy amongst my three brothers. The one who always tattled about everyone's business but his, and yet when we touch his business he gets angry. It's funny how he is actually the over protective one amongst the three though. My youngest brother is like a bull when it comes to family. He loves and lives for each of us, and when it comes to me he is both protective and a nuisance.
Kyle pops his head out of the kitchen and looks at me straight in the eye with an evil smirk on his face. "Hey little sis, how ya doing today?" He asks me and does not even wait for an answer before he gets back to the kitchen again. The house smells of coffee and the makings of breakfast, meaning my older brother is the one holding down the fort. He is the breakfast man. Honestly, any woman he gets is lucky just because of that. As I round to the kitchen with mom asking me who the new man is, I'm overwhelmed by the familiar feeling of being home, I never realized how much I missed home until now.
"There is no other man, Matt lied to Kyle because he is trying to get back together with me after I found him in bed with my so called best friend." As I finish saying that, I realize my brother filled them all in with everything.
I take my seat at the kitchen island chair and wait to be served my breakfast. The conversation goes on with them asking me where I'm now living and when the last time I spoke to Scarlett was. Apparently mom is glad that things are over between Matt and I. "A boy could never be handsome and be able to stave off attention of other women, look at your brothers." She'd said at some point during breakfast, which caused a rackus in the kitchen with my brothers.
After breakfast and the dishes are cleaned, Kyle and I stay in the kitchen to start lunch, we've always worked well in the kitchen together. All pretence falls and he asks me how I've been holding up and what really happened, to which I open up about it all to him skipping the parts where I'm sleeping with my boss and are currently under his roof. We goof around while preparing the food, I don't even think to remember that this is his strategy to make me open up to him.
"I really wanted to beat him to a pulp when I saw him, but I was out on business with the guys, I know they'd have backed me up, but can you imagine visiting me in prison for that punk? I was like fuck no." He continuously speaks animatedly making me laugh like that. Asks me if there's someone who is interested in me or if I saw someone I like. When. I call him out o his strategy he gives up on his findings.
It's not until we're almost done with lunch that I feel like opening up and just talk about my newfound happiness with Jason. I make him promise not to tell my family just yet, and I know to trust his promises because he keeps them. Even though I trust my older brother the most, I don't trust him to keep secrets from the others much, whereas I know to trust Kyle because I know a few of his secrets that he does not want getting out. When I go on to tell him about Jason skipping the parts about him being my boss he only then admits that he was actually with Matt when he called and Jason answered, I'm reminded then that I haven't listened to the call recording.
Lunch is served, I'm surprised Jason hasn't called, he only texted once checking if I'm fine and telling me that Rudy would come pick me up. Mom and I have our little girl time after lunch where I tell her snippets of my life, she knows it's snippets, but doesn't call me out on it. She knows and trusts that I will come clean about everything eventually, it's always been how we've been.
Around four, I receive a text Jason telling me he and Rudy are outside waiting for me. I bid my family goodbye after looking out the window and seeing the car outside. The ride to the penthouse is short, with traffic being less. I'm still hyped from spending the whole day with my family and I tell Jason all about it, honestly one would think that I'm tipsy but unfortunately no alcohol is allowed in my moms house. Jason asked if I've had something to drink and I told him the same. My mom does not like alcohol in her house, does not matter what is happening.
That night I didn't have to cook, as I had come with food, Jason enjoyed the food with a glass of wine in the side and we went to bed around eight.
When Monday came, Jason was in one of his moods, when I asked him about it, he said that he was frustrated that Julia was coming back to work which I'd laughed about. He was frustrated the whole day after that because I couldn't visit him in his office like he wanted and is used to. We kept texting the whole day though so he was not hard on everybody as much.
At five o clock when it's time for me to go home, I send him a text to tell him I'm leaving, he replies saying Rudy is waiting for me downstairs. I'm not going to climb in his car with everyone watching me, especially because it's time for everyone to leave, people will be suspicious of me getting into the boss's car. I call for a cab while I'm packing my things and only go down when I see that it's here. I see Rudy getting out of the car when I get out of the building, I shake my head no when I see him and he affirms his understanding with a nod with his head. I'm grateful to him for understanding.
When I get back to the penthouse, I start cooking for us. I'd told Jason to tell his chef to not cook because I was planning on cooking. At seven when he gets home, he looks cheerful just from getting off the elevator. After dinner and him doing me in the dining room and the bedroom, we sleep.
Tuesday seems to take him in a different side than Monday. When wakes up, the first thing he asks me is whether I'm sure I want to move into my own place and asks me to move in with him, which I tell him that it's too early in our relationship. It's only been week since I've been with him, I dont see it being proper to move in with him yet, but I won't tell him that just yet, I'm not sure I want to know his reaction.
