and Dad look like
they want the ground to open and swallow them whole. Aden, on the other hand
bites his lip to keep from laughing.
“Well on that note I think we’d better be
going,” Richard says, laughing and standing up.
Mum gives me the death glare and I almost
think it’s going to work, and I’ll drop to the floor. I trail behind as Aden
and his parents make their escape.
“So I’ll see you for lunch tomorrow,”
Isabel said to Aden, batting her eyelashes.
I freeze. What. The. Fuck. They’re having lunch together? When the hell was
that decided? My heart drops to my stomach, and I stare at him, begging him to
say she’s mistaken. I can’t breathe. I want to look away from them, but I
can’t.
His eyes flick to me for a second. “Sure,”
he says with a forced smile. It isn’t a mistake. They are going to lunch. Is it
a date? I back up a little, still staring at Aden. He opens his mouth as his
eyes land on me. Before I can hear any excuse, I turn around and walk away as
fast as I can.
Chapter Eight
I walk into my office ten minutes early and
throw my bag down on the floor. There is a reason for me being early; I can
take the files through to Aden’s office then spend the rest of the day hiding
in here. Hopefully he’ll leave me alone to carry on planning the Dublin trip
with his dad’s PA, and I won’t have to see him at all. Fuck him and fuck my
sister.
Things are going to be so awkward now, and
I’ve never wanted to leave home so much before. I hate my mother for
interfering and pushing Isabel and Aden together, but I hate him more. He
didn’t have to let her... Unless Isabel is what he really wants. This sucks.
This really, really sucks.
I grab the files and walk through to his
office, peeking around the door just in case he’s there. Thankfully he isn’t.
His desk is fairly organised now, papers in his in-box are stacked neatly and
in order of importance. I smile to myself and run my hands over the pile,
having a little internal debate: mess them up or not?
Images of him kissing Isabel flash through
my mind and that is all I need to make my decision. I grab the whole stack and
shuffle them in random order, chuckling to myself.
Mature, not at all. Satisfying, very.
He arrives fifteen minutes later. I hear
him talking to his dad outside his office. My heart races. Please don’t come in here. I hold my breath and click away on the
computer, pretending to be too busy in case he comes in. In reality, I’m just
pressing random keys on a word document.
An hour later and it’s clear that he’s
avoiding me too, which is stupid because he’s the sister shagger! I just need
to not be around him for a while so I can get over whatever it is I feel for
him. It’s bad enough having to control myself around him all the time, but now
I have to deal with him dating my sister. Again, I hate them both.
By half past twelve, I’m starving and need
food, but I don’t want to leave the office in case I bump into him. I open the
door, all ready to do a mission impossible and standing right there is my big
sister.
“Hi, Amelie,” Isabel says, making me want
to pull her dirty blonde hair out.
I force smile. “Hi.” Aden opens his door
and freezes as he sees us both. Well at least this is incredibly awkward and
uncomfortable for him too. I take a small amount of pleasure from that.
“Are you ready?” she asks him, smiling and
fluttering her eyelashes seductively. Slutty cow.
Aden nods, his eyes not leaving mine. I
gulp and try to make myself walk away, but I can’t move. Damn it! Bloody leave! Why the hell am I still standing here
watching this? “Have a good date,” I mumble, finally turning away and
practically running to the lift.
“Millie,” Aden calls after me, but I don’t
turn back, seeing them together is making me nauseous.
The lift can’t appear soon enough.
Thankfully someone has just got out, so I make a dash for it. “Shit. Close!” I
snap in frustration,
they want the ground to open and swallow them whole. Aden, on the other hand
bites his lip to keep from laughing.
