I was at the office early as always but the good thing was that my handsome, brilliant English boy friend was with me.
"I've never come here this early before" muttered Wade.
"Well it's my last day so you might as well" I said, "You can see how hard I worked to be your assistant, you know Mr Barrett wants everything a certain way."
He shook his head, rolling his eyes, "Then I guess you won't be bittersweet."
"Of course, it will be" I said as we walked into his office, "I'll miss all of this, but the only person I'd miss most is you and we're together now so... problem solved."
"Right, but I'll miss making you do all that paperwork for me, you did do it to my standard" he said.
"Your standard?" I said laughing, "Just tell your new assistant to do the same, just make sure she's not pretty."
"No one is as beautiful as you" he said, placing his hands on my waist.
I blushed, my body filled with goose bumps as he softly kissed my neck. "This looks like some sort of erotic fantasy, the boss and the assistant."
"You mean the very sexy boss and the assistant" he said smirking.
I chuckled, shaking my head. We were then interrupted by a knock, the Scotsman making his way inside with a grin, this look of delight as he saw us in each other's arms. "So it is true, you two are together."
Wade nodded, "It's very much true."
"I couldn't be happier for you guys, I knew there was something going on there" said Drew.
"Thank you today is actually my last day. I got a new job" I said.
"You're leaving? Why?" asked Drew, concern sounding in his voice.
"Well... I thought maybe working and living together might be a little too much for us, so I was offered another job and I took it" I said.
"Why are you even working?" said Drew, "You should just live off his money, that's what I'd do."
Wade rolled his eyes at his friend.
"Um... because I'm not with him because of his money, I'm with him because I love him" I said.
"Nice answer" said Drew, "She's a keeper Barrett."
"Alright, enough of you prying into my personal life what is it that you want?" said Wade.
"Well Phil has been annoying the crap out of me, he's always complaining and butting in... he's just been a thorn in my backside" explained Drew.
"From what I hear, it's the other way round. He actually told me that you've annoying him and you've been quite a thorn in Adele's backside, he told me you haven't left her alone" said Wade.
"Well...um... I just thought that maybe we could rekindle what we left off, maybe I shouldn't have let her go so quickly, it was your fault anyway Wade you told me to back off" said Drew.
Wade looked at me, as I stood in between the two Europeans. I smiled at them, "I'm just going to leave you two alone."
"Are you sure Lea, I may need a witness if your boyfriend here kills me" said Drew.
I shook my head and left the room.
Wade had his attention back on Drew, "Look, you're my best friend in the world and I like that we're working together but if you don't start leaving them alone, I will have to take some drastic action."
"You mean you'll fire me" said Drew.
He nodded, "Of course, I don't want to do it but if you push me, I will do it."
"Alright... alright... I'll leave them alone" said Drew.
"Good, because Adele and Phillip are happy, I mean they're engaged now" said Wade.
"You have definitely changed, you haven't spoken about couples or people being happy since you were married" said Drew, "Before you wouldn't have cared. I'm sure you would have fired me already."
Wade blushed, "I guess when you are in love, you can see things clearly again. I hope you find someone like Lea and when you do you won't let her go."
"Maybe I should change, find a nice girl and settle down" said Drew.
"Maybe you should" said Wade.
"Are you kidding me? Being single and getting with all these different girls is the best! Why would you just want to stick to one" exclaimed Drew.
He laughed, "You'll never change, but the day you find the girl that's right for you will be the day you stop all of this."
...
I was at my desk; I was feeling the bittersweet taste in my mouth. I was thinking back to all the memories I had of this place, when I had my job interview. I was so nervous and having it taken with Wade didn't help, he was so intense and strict I was almost thinking about not taking the job. Then there was my best friend Adele, she was so kind and sweet. The first person who ever spoke to me, I remember how we bonded over chocolate. There was a meeting going on and everyone had left. I went to go retrieve something for Wade and she was still sitting there. I was going to get this folder that was on the desk when I saw a chocolate bar on the table; I went to grab it when I saw another hand going for it as well. We both laughed at each other then told the other person they could have. She then replied that we would half it. I agreed and we were very fond of each since. We were the only two women you were the same age and found it quite humorous to work with these mature, serious suited men. I remember how for ages everyone was waiting for her and Phil to get together, the two seemed to run circles around each other even though the two had an obvious attraction to the other, I was glad that the two were finally together and happy. I watched the two of them; Adele was trying to get some paperwork done, while Phil kept kissing her cheek repeatedly to annoy her, but she loved it when he tried to annoy her. The two were adorable together. I glanced up to Wade; he was the last person I would ever think I would end up with. He was bitter, annoyed, arrogant and smug all the time not someone you would want to spend any time with let alone love. But I really got to know him for the kind, sweet and amorous person that he really was, I was so thankful that I had him in my life, whether he was my boss or my boyfriend.
"What are you thinking about?" he said, snapping me out of my trance.
"Just how much I'll miss this place" I said, "It was the only job that I ever really enjoyed, I'm sad to leave it."
"Well how about we invite, Phillip and Adele for dinner tonight. It could be a double date kind of thing" said Wade.
I was shocked to hear him inviting them over; I knew he was just acquaintances with Phil. They weren't the best of friends but it was nice of his to fabricate the idea, "That would be great."
"Alright, I'll speak to Phillip about it later" he said kissing the top of my head, "And... I promise I won't cook ever again, Peter told me he heard you vomiting yesterday morning."
"He did?" I asked surprised.
"Yes he did, I'm sorry I made you sick" said Wade.
I felt absolutely terrible, "It wasn't your cooking, you made a delicious dinner... it's just that I have a sensitive stomach and get sick from lots of things. It's not you."
"Lea, you don't have to say that. I know I'm a terrible cook" said Wade, "It's alright and Molly said she'd cook a nice meal for us."
"Alright, sounds like a nice evening" I said.
"It will be, I have a meeting to go to and it will be a long one, so you can leave whenever you like after you get your things. I'll meet you at home."
"Alright, I'll see you at home" I said.
He kissed my lips, before our gazes were now on Adele who watched us with a cheeky smile. "Glad to see the boss is working hard" she said.
"Always a pleasure, Adele" said Wade walking off.
She then looked at me, excitement spilling out of her like a teenage girl. "So it's true, you and Wade are together!"
I nodded, my cheeks blushing. "I hope this isn't weird, because of before."
"Oh no, Wade and I were really nothing, we were just each other's really bad rebounds but I'm so happy that you're with him. You two look really perfect, I'm glad you two are together and that you found what you were looking for, at first I thought you were with Randy but finding out that you were with Wade, I couldn't be happier."
"Thank you, I was watching you and Phil before you two are just the sweetest couple, the way you look at him, when he looks at you... you two just make me so happy."
She turned around looking at her dark haired fiancé, "I love him so much."
I nodded, "I can see that he loves you a lot too."
"Well I also heard that today is your last day" she said depressed.
"It is... but I know we're going to still see each other, you were the only real friend I made here."
"I'm going to miss you a lot" she said whimpering.
"I'm going to miss you too, but you'll be alright you have Phil and I promise Wade will stop acting like an asshole."
She laughed, "No it wouldn't be the same if he wasn't an asshole."
"It wouldn't be, would it?"
"He knew that we'd actually want to get with those mean suit wearing types, that we used to make fun of" she said.
"I know! We used to make fun of them and now we're dating them, time has really changed."
...
After saying goodbye to my colleagues and friends, I drove up to the doctor's office where I told John I would meet him. I walked into the doctor's office where I found her and John sitting together, talking.
"Lea, thank you for coming" she said, as I sat down in the chair next to him.
I couldn't feel myself to look at John; I was very scared to face him. But knowing that I might be carrying his baby, I knew I had to take some courage and look at him. He smiled at me kindly, I felt like I didn't even deserve a smile. "It's good to see you, Lea. I'm sorry it's under these circumstances."
"It's good to see you" I said.
"Now Lea, I've taken a sample from John and I took a sample from your unborn baby yesterday so I will have the results, next week" she said.
"Alright, so if the test is negative it means Wade is the father and if it's positive, John is the father?" I asked my eyes glossy from the fear of the latter.
"Yes, that's correct unless you were with anyone else" said the Doctor.
John couldn't help but smirk.
"No it was just the two of them" I said.
"Well just so you know, Lea if this is my child I will do everything I can to look after it" said John, "But if you don't want me in its life then I can understand. I wouldn't want to ruin anything for you" he said, this sarcastic tone in his voice told me that he was angry.
"Of course I'd want you to be in this child's life, it's not like I would cut you out because we're not together. I'm sure Wade will understand obviously at that time it was you and me and he wasn't there so now that he is, I know he will be a little apprehensive but he will be fine" I said.
"Well good" he said.
"Maybe it was a good thing you two didn't get married" said the Doctor watching us disagree.
"Maybe" said John, "but this baby could be a sign of what we could have had."
"Yeah, it could or maybe what Wade and I could have" I said.
