His Assistant

Chapter Ten - Day of rest ruined

Olivia’s P.O.V

I was glad of a day to myself to do what I want. It had been some first week at work. Lucas has been hard work. If he was not teasing me, he was ordering me around; the boy couldn’t make up his mind what he wanted to do. I don’t know where he gets all his energy. Nothing has happened between us again since the day after we first kissed. He has tried, but I have managed to keep my wits about me. It was Sunday, the day of rest and that is precisely what I was going to do, rest before I need to start it all over again tomorrow. I had meetings most of the day; I was there to take notes. My plan for the day?

Shower and put clean P.J.S. on, not moving for the rest of the day. I have the supplies I need, picked them up on my way home last night, save me having to go out today. I made myself comfortable on the sofa, sighing in content, enjoying the peace. Heaven! No Lucas in my face or my ear. As I got comfortable, there was a knock at the front door. No! Can I not get peace for one day? I hesitantly pulled myself off the sofa, heading to the front door. I looked through the peephole, wishing I never moved off the couch when I see who it was. Why is he at my door? Can he not give me one day to myself? I opened the door, glaring at him.

“What do you want? It is my day off.” I huffed my hands over my chest.

“And what you are gonna spent it your pjs?” He asked.

“Yes. Problem? Why are you here, Lucas?” I said, annoyed.

“There is no need to be so rude.” He said, glaring at me, walking straight into my apartment.

I don’t get paid enough to have to see him on my day off. I guess he was not going anywhere? I closed the door behind me, following him inside. I found him on my sofa, his feet up on my table and flicking through the T.V.

“Lucas what are you doing? Don’t be getting too comfortable.” I said. 

“I was bored. I decided to come to hang out without it is as simple as that.” He shrugged.

“Without asking me? Did you not consider that maybe you should have asked or maybe that I wanted my only day off to myself?” I said.

He shrugged, not caring, not sure if he was even listening to me. I had a feeling he was not going anywhere. I sat down next to him, pushing his feet off my coffee table, taking my remote back from him too, putting on what I wanted. I grabbed my blanket covering myself up since I had shorts and a tee on as my pjs. I was hoping if I never said anything or do anything, he will get bored and leave without me having to ask.

“No, this will not do. You need some excitement in your life. You sitting at home alone is sad.” He said.

“Excuse me? How is it sad? This was my choice. I have had a hard week, you are hard work, and all I want is to relax, alone in my home.” I said.

“You have loved this week, don’t act like you have not.” He smirked at me.

“Can you not give me a day to myself?” I said.

“Nope! Go get dressed, you and I are heading out.” He said.

Why is he not getting the hint? I don’t want him here, not today.

“Not happening. I am staying put here all day…alone. Do you not have someone else you can go and annoy?” I asked.

“I have plenty more people I could annoy, but I don’t wanna see any of them. I wanted to see you and hang out with you. Now move your ass and get dressed. If you do not, then I will carry you through to your bedroom myself and dress you. Now move your sexy ass.” He said more sternly.

He was not going to take no for an answer, was he? I may as well give into him right now cause I believe him when he says he will carry me through and dress me himself. I pulled myself from the sofa, storming off to my bedroom like a child. I grabbed some clothes, jeans and a hoodie will do, can’t be bothered dressing up more than that. I ran a brush through my hair, pulling it up on hair tie. That would do. I don’t want to go, so I am not making too much of an effort for him…for going out. I was comfortable and casual, that was enough. I headed back through.

“Can we go, get this over with so I can get back here?” I said, making sure he knew I was annoyed, “Where are we even going?” I added.

“Seriously I never knew you could be so rude. I don’t know where we are going…out.” He said.

“Seriously? You force me to go out and don’t know where are we going?” I said.

“Stop complaining. Now come on, we will find something to do.” He said.

I went to protest, but he never gave me a chance. He reached in, grabbing my hand and practically dragged me out the front door. He never let go of hand as he led us to his car, only letting go when I had to climb in. I was still annoyed that he had ruined my plans for the day. He started on the way, driving to God only knows where.

“How does lunch, bowling and drinks sound?” He asked as we drove.

“Lunch and bowling sound good…drinks? Not as much, I don’t want a drink.” I said, “Um if we are going for lunch, maybe I should change.” I added laughing.

“You are fine; we don’t need to go anywhere fancy.” He shrugged.

“OK,” I said.

I guess Lunch and bowling don’t sound too bad, right? I was suddenly not as annoyed with him. I hate how he can do that without even trying, one minute, I am mad at him, and then I am not. Lucas reached across the car, placing his hand on my thigh. My breath hitched slightly, but I never said anything. Lucas never even said anything or looked at me. I get confused with him. I don’t know if he is going to act friendly towards me or act as he wants me. I will also be the first to admit there is a part of me that wants to kiss him again, his kiss gets to me, makes my hormones go into overdrive, but I know the best thing is to stop that from happening again cause if not things could get complicated.
