Chapter 3
I´m not acting like a jealous girlfriend, I worry for you, asshole.
Sorry, I´m sorry. It´s just, with everything going on right now…
Don´t worry is fine. I get it- an awkward silence followed, what is going on? We never act like this-. Maybe I should go…
No, please stay. I can´t deal with her anymore, I… I need you here. Please?
He sounded so vulnerable, so innocent, so sweet, I couldn´t resist to give him what he wanted.
All right, what can I help you with?
Would you mind helping Stephanie for a while? I have slept two hours and I can´t stand it anymore.
Sure, go to bed.
Once I got to my house I was exhausted, I could completely understand why Dan had had such a little sleep. That woman was absolutely crazy!
She made me organize her entire closet, previously Dan´s closet but he was staying at the lounge, three times. The first one, over colour scheme, the second one by element and the third one by brand. Then she made me make her lunch, she had me cook a whole variety of foods from fish to Italian and she ended eating some meat and a salad! Then she made me give her a foot massage, she is not that pregnant yet to need a foot massage, anyways after an entire day following her orders I could easily say I hated her.
I was about to go to bed when my phone rang, What now?! To my surprise, it was Phil.
Hey! Are you at your place right now? I need to talk to you.
Yeah, sure, the door is open, come in once you arrive.
Thanks, bye.
I was changing into my pyjama when the door opened.
Isabelle? - Phil had arrived.
One second!
I walked into the lounge feeling a little self-conscious, I was a good friend with Phil, but we had our limits. And looking always decent was kind of one of them, and I wouldn´t consider my "No game no life" pyjama decent.
Hey- he said once he saw me. I could tell he was a little embarrassed.
Hi, where have you been? I went to your apartment ten times this last three days and no one answered, is everything all right?
I´ve been staying with a friend, do you know everything that is going on with Dan?
Yes, why?
Good, because I need someone to understand what is like staying in that place, that girl thinks I´m her servant.
So she did the same with you!
Yes! Anyways that is not what I came to talk about. What do you think if we both pay her a monthly amount so she disappears of our lives until the baby is born and then enough money for her to never appear again?
