The unexpected

Asher pov

“What are you looking for here, aren't you supposed to before a moving train?”, axel stood beside me, arm crossed on his chest, heaven knows what he really wants coming here, but whatever it is, wouldn’t arouse my hopes of something positive.

Isn’t it too early to be jobless, “ hey beasty, your worst nemesis” he said looking back at the see through glass, his tone was nothing far from mockery, and with the smug smile, he was well aware he had hit a mail right where it needed, “ leave”.

“ I am so scared” he said, waving his fingers all over my face, “ I am not here for you, I have better things” narrowing his eyes across the office, his face lit up immediately he bestowed his eyes on her. As suspected.

“ Hey rose!” he yells, walking towards rose, who just stood immobile, she had her hands straightened before her, for some reasons she looks flushed.

Axel pulled her against his body for a hug, she should have resisted, but instead she doesn’t retort, it's a working environment, he shouldn't have, no she should have rejected, now he had his buff scent all over her, he raised her chin up to look at him their closeness irks my skin.

“ Axel ,get your hands off my assistant” walking over to them, he shouldn’t be giddy around each her, I pull his arms off, squeezing in the same rhythm as my pulsating heart, “get your damn hands off me, this company belongs to the family not you” , his words were an skin indulging as venom.

“ I am in charge and just so you know, never...” words fail me, it comes to my realization that she is just standing beside me, even when my fist was aching to complete each sentence that was stuck.

Damn he gets on my nerves each time, he creeps so deep it burn, my fingers forks deeper into my hair, as my perplexed mind wondered, taking a deep breath, i wouldn't let him successfully get beneath my nerves, not this time.

“ yea,shy off like you always are, all hail the composed brother of mine ‘’ axel said, everyone around stood, watching him display his shenanigans, as always.

“uhm hi, maybe i should excuses” rose said, hurriedly chipping in, as she scampered off before both us, looking back at the excuse for a brother, he had his head rested in his fingers, all this were solely to piss me off, as always, having him in the same state as me was never a good idea.

“ stay away from Rose, and I mean it. '' I said before walking out, i could hear him say words i wasn’t interested in anyway, having him here would have caused more trouble than good, keeping him off would be futile as well.

Stuck in the dark room I watched Rose sit before me, passing her into the office. I could feel as though I had just rubbed hands with her, or maybe held her.

Sagging back on the chair, it was so well, my suspicions were right, and for the first time, I am sure I do feel something extra, but Axel just has to hop in as always, causing a wreck of everything.

Seeing her sit all day, diligently, I had imagined walking over to her desk severally , maybe starting a conversation like jose does each lunch break, if he weren't gay, i would have suspected otherwise.

But she smiles though his presence was all she needed to be happy. I could watch how her face gleamed when she saw him coming, is it gay thing or does he actually make her happy?.

Quick peeks were nothing short of a panic attack for me, she stared into the darkness, the goosebumps, quicken pace of heartbeat, all these signs I had contemplated being a new disorder, but holding her hands were totally different from what I had felt in a lifetime.

She takes a peek once more, this time catching me off guard as my pen i had been flicking between my sweaty palms falls to the floor, she flinches, she always does, once again she adjust back on her sit, her lips pressing hard against each other as she flips through files.

What harm could it cause, being as cheerful, would she reciprocate, what if…?.

An intrusive bip comes interrupting my thoughts, looking down my flashing screen its from mom, what does she really wants this time around, a tea party, boat cruise , either way i am not interested , switching it off, i stare back at the damel poking a pen on her lipi, the closest i had been to them were in my car.

My heart chords to the thought.

I should have kissed her when i wanted to, now it feels impossible, being so close, when she despises me like a plague, i only have such liberty in my dream.

I see her furrow her brow, looking rather disturbed, what?,just then an answer i wasn't sure i would appreciate come popping by the side of my office, axel, what is he looking for here, i had expected him to coil around her like a bad leash but instead he spoke hurriedly before barging into my office.

“ Are you crazy or something mom called and you turned your phone off, what’s your damn problem” he turns the light on, then toss a pillow before me, it misses, but my hourglass became an instant victim as i shatters to the floor.

“ you have no right_” he tosses a second pillow.

“You are so heartless, all you do is make yourself so all mighty, like no one deserves your attention, not even your dying sister’’

“Dying sister”

“ you know what fuck off you were never part o the family never was, never will be” his words weren’t as disturbing as a dying sister, “what’s wrong with anna scoffs as he walks out of the office , whats wrong with anna.

My mind wander off, dying sister isn't just a make believe word, i knew axel to be stupid, almost all his life, but no one jokes with anna, hurriedly standing from my chair,I turn my phone on, calling mom Instantly, she picks it up in just a few seconds.

“ oh axel anna, anna is in the emergency ward” .

Barging out of the office, “ sir what's the problem” rose said, looking back at her, leaving her here would cause more suspense, she doesn’t deserve that

“ follow me”

The elevator ride was just one hell of a place, as Axel kept on ranting endlessly, he had been so angry earlier, he should be halfway to the hospital, not stuck here with me .

We go down quite slow, then he pulls rose by the palm, “ come, join me, we are heading to the hospital now” opening the passenger door to his car, he gestured for her to enter, i had invited he, no him, if he wanted her to be his little escort he would have done the honor of asking instead.

Pulling her arm, gentle, I said “let's move” repulsively he shot dead gares a me, “ asher I’m in no mood for this”, pulling her arm towards his car, , now she's stuck, indecisive.

“ I would go with him”
