Forgotten Promise - 5 - Unreasonable assumption

"Sam I am sorry I have to cancel movie night his Saturday" I said.

"What?!, Why?!" He shouted. I put my hands in my ears.

"Can't you talk quietly?" Brittaney says beside him.

"No I can't, Alexa you better have a good excuse!"

"Well... my boss is throwing a birthday party on Saturday and I was invited by Amanda I don't really want to attend but at the same time I didn't want to turn her down" I said

"If you don't want to go, don't go" Brittaney says.

"Yeah!" Sam agreed.

He just doesn't want to miss movie night.

"No I have to go, I wouldn't take too long, I will just show up, wish him a happy birthday then go back home" I said.

"Hmm... I have been thinking..." Sam said rubbing his hand in his jaw in a thoughtful manner.

I and Brittaney looked at each other and I am sure we are thinking the same thing

He is using his using his head for ones

"Why are you guys looking so surprised I didn't even say what I was thinking yet" He said

"On we were just surprised that you are finally using your head" I said making Brittaney snicker a bit.

"You guys are so mean, but I would tell you what I was thinking anyway, I was think that Mrs. Steven might be trying to set you up with her son" He said.

"Sam that's an unreasonable assumption" I said.

"Hey I am just making a suggestion."

"Hmm... he might be right" Brittaney says agreeing with him.

I looked at her surprised.

"I mean if he wanted you to come to his party he would have invited you himself or is it a surprise party?" she asked.

That makes sense

"No it isn't" I said.

"Ha look who isn't using her brain now!" Sam said childishly trying to mock me.

"Sam... Shut up"

~~~

Today he is worse than yesterday, he looked very tired.

Doesn't he get enough sleep?

He was resting his head on the table, I was contemplating if I should say something.

Is he sleeping?

"Sir?"

"Yes?"

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yes"

"You don't look too good, did you sleep well?" I said.

"I said I am okay."

Sheesh I was just trying to be considerate.

"Okay then you have an appointment by-"

"Cancel it" He interrupted me.

I got annoyed.

Why is he so difficult?

I heard a knock on the door so I went to check, it was Mr Fredrick his lawyer.

He came earlier than I expected.

"Good afternoon sir, I am so sorry Mr Steven isn't feeling too well today" I said.

"That's not true!" I look behind me to see him standing but he looked dazed.

Dude stop embarrassing yourself.

"Okay then I would come another time" Mr Fredrick said.

"Ok then, bye" I closed the door.

He made the right choice. I turned around and got startled when I saw Mr Steven a bit too close to me, he narrowed his eyes at me.

"S-sir I was just trying to help you, plus you told me to cancel the appointment b-but he came earlier" I said nervously.

He put his hand over my waist, pulled me close before resting head on my shoulder.

I felt butterflies in my stomach we stayed like that for a while. I didn't really know what to do in a situation like this.

"S-sir?"

"hmm?"

Wait a sec is he sniffing me?

I gently pushed him away "Sir are you sure you are feeling okay?"

I asked looking at the floor because I felt my face heating up.

"...Maybe you should go home and rest since you are not feeling too good, I will take care of things around here while you are away"

I didn't get any reply so I looked up, he looked hurt for some reason but he looked away "Fine" He took his things and left.

Why is he annoyed all of a sudden?

~~~

Since he wasn't around today things was a bit more stressful.

"You are finally back" Sofia said.

I signed and sat down on the sofa.

"So how was work?" She asked.

"Stressful"

"Of course work is supposed to be stressful, I actually meant your boss"

I signed in annoyance then I remembered what happened earlier today.

"Alexa!, Alexa!" Sofia called interrupting my thought.

"He's fine" I said before lying down on the couch.

"What were you thinking about?" She asked looking down at me.

"It's not your business, leave me alone I am tired"

She smirked "Okay then, if you say so"

Ugh so annoying.
