Poison Apple: Chapter 3: Friday Drama

Ana
Jack was angry at me. What a surprise. It had been a week since I agreed to give him another chance and true to Jack's word he had been better. He had been treating me well and going out of his way to prove himself to me; making me dinner, ignoring his work calls at home and giving me all of his attention when he was with me. It was a nice week but things were going back to 'normal' now and according to him it was all my fault.

I was supposed to finish work at 5pm but Brittany had called in sick so I had to take on her work load too and that meant as it was the end of the week, I had to attend the weekly meeting with Christian and his PA. It's not a meeting I have been a part of before but as Brittany isn't here, I need to do it. All we do is go through what meetings he has the following week, what gaps he has the following week, he will cancel and move appointments around to suit him and we'll go through everything he would need for the following week. I needed to make sure that Brittany would have everything she would need to get everything ready in meetings rooms and such.

Of course I knew Jack would be angry at me but I couldn't tell Christian no... This is my job. I had called him at lunch to tell him about the meeting and he hung up the phone and he's ignored my messages and calls all day, I don't know what he wants me to do. If it was the other way around, he would just expect me to understand that it was work and there was nothing he could do about it. Why can't he understand that my job was just as important as his?

I took a peek at the clock on my computer and saw I had 10 minutes until the meeting with Christian. I had already prepped everything I would need, Christian's schedule, pens, markers, my notepad and my work phone. I wasn't sure how long this meeting is supposed to last, normally when I leave at 5pm they go into the meeting but no one has ever said how long it went on for. I guess it depends how busy Christian is that week and how many things he wants to move around.

My phone buzzed on the desk, I took a look and saw that I had a message from Jack.

See you whenever you make it home, if you can manage to come home

I wasn't in the mood for that. I silenced my phone and put it in my bag under my desk; I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of a reply. I knew I shouldn't have given him another chance, I should've told him last week that things were over.

"Let's go Ana," Michelle called as she walked past my desk and towards Christian's office.

I grabbed everything I would need for the meeting and following quickly after her. She held the door open for me and I saw that we would be sitting on the couch but there was now a coffee table there.

"Ladies," Christian greeted and sat down on the couch, putting his planner on the table. Michelle went and sat down first and I followed, sitting opposite Christian "Thank you for joining us Ana, I appreciate you haven't been a part of this meeting before but it's nothing to worry about. We're just going over my schedule and making some changes," He explained.

"It's not a problem," I replied with a smile as I opened my notepad.

"So, first things first," Michelle started "You have a very full week next week. The only spare time you have is Friday 3pm till 4pm. However, I did have Julia King on the phone trying to snap up that last appointment," Christian rolled his eyes at the name "I know you don't really want to meet with her but if we give her an hour, maybe she will leave us alone after that," Michelle said.

"Who's Julia King?" I questioned.

"She's a journalist. I hate journalists, they always ask the same questions and I give them the same answers... it's just not worth the time," Christian answered.

"If you really don't want to meet with her, I can call her and try to get rid of her," I offered.

"She's pretty persistent," Michelle commented.

"She hasn't spoken to me yet," I stated.

"Perfect," Christian smiled at me before looking back down at his schedule "I need to move my Wednesday 6pm meeting with Alan Rowley, give him Thursday at 11am and keep that Wednesday spot open. I'm not going to be in the office from 4pm," I nodded and made notes and scribbles as he spoke "Also clear Monday completely. I have too much to do on Monday and I don't have time to have these meetings. Schedule them for the week after... make it clear that Monday is a no go to them," He explained.

"The Monday following is full already," I stated looking at the schedule in front of me "We can pencil them in for the following Wednesday afternoon from 2pm," I added.

"Great, do that."

I can't remember the last time I was this tired. I really didn't think that meeting was going to go on until 9pm. I always knew that Christian was a busy man but I never realised how busy. He never had a moment to himself that wasn't scheduled, I feel sorry for him, there's never any time for him to just unwind and relax but I suppose that's what happens when you run a multi-billion dollar company... rather him than me.

9:18pm... Jack was going to be so pissed at me. When I got out of my meeting with Christian and Michelle, I had 18 text messages and 5 missed calls from Jack. Each text message sounding angrier and angrier, I had 2 voicemails but I haven't listened to them yet.

I opened the front door and saw Jack sitting on the sofa in the living room. He had on a single lamp and to be honest it felt eerie walking in. He looked up at me with a face full of anger and hatred, I'm so tired and I really can't be bothered to argue with him but I know it's inevitable.

"Nice of you to make it home," He commented.

"Why are you sitting in the dark like a serial killer?" I questioned and turned the lights on.

"I've been waiting for you," He said.

"I know but as I told you, I was in a meeting with Christian and Michelle. I was working and I can't answer all of your calls and texts when I'm working, you know that," I told him.

"Last week I promised I would do better and try harder but you are making it difficult. Maybe you could put me first instead of your part time job with Christian Grey! Tell him no... You can't stay until 9pm on a Friday night because you have plans!" He shouted as he got up from the chair.

"I'm not going to tell him no! Brittany was off sick and it needed to be done, I was the only other person that could do it," I argued.

"Seems pretty late for a business meeting on a Friday... maybe I was right and you are having an affair with him. Who wouldn't? He's a billionaire who has everything you could ever want," Jack argued back.

I walked into the kitchen and started pouring myself a glass of wine.

"You know what? If you want to think that I am having an affair with Christian Grey then you think that. I am sick and tired of having this same argument with you, if you really think that low of me then leave. I really don't care if you think I'm having an affair. I'm sick and tired of you and your low opinion of me," I told him sternly and threw back the glass of wine I had just poured.

"You're disgusting," He stated.

"If you say so."

I wasn't in the mood for this. I shouldn't have to keep having this same conversation with him, if he doesn't trust me then he should leave because no one wants to be with a cheater. I wouldn't want to be with someone who cheats on me and to be honest I don't want to be with Jack anymore because this is all just too much for me. At first it was fun and he was a good man but he's not that man anymore and I don't like this new version of him, I don't want to be with a man who thinks so low of me.

I walked into the bedroom, Jack was following me. I grabbed a duffel bag and put it on the bed.

"Pack your stuff," I stated and he looked at me in shock "Pack your stuff," I repeated but he didn't move, he just stood in the doorway of the bedroom and looked at the bag on the bed "If you think that I am going to put up with this any longer, you are mistaken. I don't want to be with you if you honestly think I'm having an affair. I'm not arguing with you anymore. I'm sick of it. You can pack your stuff and you can leave," I told him.

"You don't mean that," He replied.

"Yes I do," I opened his drawer that held his underwear and threw them at the duffel bag on the bed "I don't want you here," I added.

Jack rushed towards me; I jumped back in surprise and ended up with my back against the wall. He put his hands on the wall either side of my head, trapping me where I stood.

I held my breath as Jack looked me in the eyes with a look I had never seen before; it wasn't hatred, anger or aggression... it was something else and it was something that I didn't like. Jack was dangerous. His jaw locked and he brought one hand away from the wall and then slammed his fist against it, just inches away from my head.

"I'm not going anywhere. You are mine," He told me in a low and dangerous voice and then he moved away from me "Put my stuff back." He ordered and left the bedroom.

I let out my huge breath and dropped down onto the bed... what the hell just happened? Jack had never done something like that before, he had never come across as someone I thought would hit me but in that moment I believed he was capable of it, he punched the wall but it could have been my face if he really wanted it to.

I reached into my pocket and got my phone out, I brought up Kate's number and hit dial.

"Ana!" She exclaimed happily as she answered.

"Hi Kate," I said and I realised how shaky my voice was.

"Ana, what's wrong?" She asked instantly.

"Just... a fight with Jack," I told her trying to hold back the tears.

"Do you want me to come over?"

"No... You don't need to do that," I told her "I just wanted to hear your voice," I added.

"Oh Ana, you need to leave him. I don't like seeing you like this; you're so down and sad. Relationships are not meant to make you feel like that; you're supposed to be happy, excited and in love," She said.

"I know I know but it's easier said than done," I replied.

"What is the fight over this time?"

"It doesn't matter,"

"Yes it does. Talk to me, tell me why you are fighting," She pleaded.

"He thinks I'm having an affair with Christian," I stated.

"Are you serious? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard in my life! One, I'm sure Christian is gay... he's never had a girlfriend and two, you're not that kind of person," She responded.

"Please don't tell Christian," I pleaded.

"Ok, I won't but you need to leave him."

Listen to Kate, leave him Ana! Thank you for reading; I hope you enjoyed that chapter.
