soz for the late upload... its being a while... Enjoy uglies~~~~
WEK walked into Cox's office quietly and slowly, they haven't had a conversation, yet acknowledged each other for the past three days.
Cox was sitting in his chair doing paperwork. It was terribly quiet, the only noise heard was from the clock on the wall
Tick Tock
How was he going to react? Would he shout? Would he threaten to kick me out? What if he told the police about what happened?
Cox looked up at her fighting the urge to chuckle before he looked back to his work
Tick Tock
WEK looked around the cramped room before looking back at Cox whom obviously wanted to make her suffer.
Look at the creases under his eyes
It looked like Cox had aged while she had gone, there were dark circles under his eyes as if he hadn't slept for days.
Work must be busy lately…
WEK cleared her throat, hoping to gain some recognition.
"What?" muttered Cox with that look in his eye that WEK hated
WEK wanted to make a joke, to get in his face and annoy him
He's done so much for me though…
"What do you want me to do?" she whispered
"Wait" he muttered annoyed and he continued his paper work
Tick Tock
WEK nodded and looked at the clock. She sat up straight and dumped her bad on the ground loudly.
Maybe he's just being himself
She sighed "Okay Boss"
Cox dropped his pen "What are you doing?" he asked impatiently
"What?" she asked defensively
"You're ignoring the fact that I'm pissed off at you"
WEK scoffed "Why would I be ignoring it? Can't you feel the tension in the room?"
"You haven't challenged me on what happened, asked why or even said sorry!" he threw his hands in the air
"For what exactly?" she asked raising her voice "Oh sorry for trying to kill myself because the only thing in my life was taken away?" she whispered tears threatening to spill
Don't fucking cry
"WEK…" Cox exhaled and shook his head
WEK shook her head also "I am sorry, you had to see me like that. I can get hysterical sometimes" she whispered
"Yeah… I thought it would work out more smoothly"
"What getting rid of me? I honestly thought you liked me more" she mumbled crossing her arms
Tick Tock
"WEK, I love you. Compared to all the bums that work here, you are my favourite"
"Then why get rid of me?" she asked throwing her hands in the air out of frustration
She groaned loudly "Why would you get rid of someone you like?!"
"I don't know" he stammered
"I don't Know?! Is that the best you got? I knew you were a jerk but is that really how you feel-"
"WEK stop" Cox whispered through his teeth
"You were going to get rid of me because you just felt like it? You followed her heat didn't you?! Because you obviously don't have a brain-"
Cox randomly hit his fist into the table "Because I can't get close to people! That's why!" he shouted angrily
"Why? You think I'm going to run off? Honestly, I ain't tryin that again. You have no problem there" she laughed getting up and walking back and forth in the room
Cox gave her look, the worst she had ever seen
She froze for a moment, realising his words.
Shit. He does have a heart… a broken sad one.
"Sorry" she sat back down and looked at her hands "I wouldn't know how you feel. I haven't had many people wanting to stick around me, I'm a bum myself" she whispered "But I would appreciate it if you did stick around for me cause I like you a lot and I don't want to lose you" she whispered "You may be a prick at the worst and best of times but something about you, makes me feel safe" she whispered bearing her soul
Tick Tock
There was a terrible awkward presence in the room. WEK felt it suffocated her
Why the Fuck did I tell him all that? Oh my god, he's going to make fun of me forever.
Cox nodded then looked down at his desk "I won't ever do that to you again, I promise" he muttered
WEK nodded "Okay" she whispered before looking away
Cox nodded before getting back to work.
Tick Tock
WEK sighed and looked at her feet. What the hell had just happened?
She wanted to smile but she fought the urge, she felt so appreciated.
"So, what do you want me to do?" asked WEK still amazed by the response Cox just gave her
He shrugged "Do what you want; I'm going to be a while"
"I thought I was helping you"
He shrugged "You've done enough for me"
"Oh yeah?"
"You didn't kill yourself"
WEKs heart dropped into her stomach, the love she felt shook her frame. She looked down at the ground,
Is this the feeling of having a family?
"Thankyou" she whispered before looking at him
He looked at her and nodded "No problem"
