Divorced, But Not Broken
Divorced, but Not broken Chapter 79

I looked up at my phone, seeing that it was twelve and I knew that James would be here in ten minutes I stopped what I was doing and just looked down before going onto snap. F**k. What the hell was I doing?! Was I about to snap Jonah, because that's what I wanted to do, ask him if he was the one that had followed me in the airport? Did he know that I was back?

Did he miss me at all? Did he have a new girlfriend? my chest felt heavy and empty when I tried to stop myself, I didn't want to cry here in front of the stupid guy that had tried everything he had to get me to go out on a date with him, that was never happening,

never.

"Andrea!" I looked up and got scared seeing Angela was fuming when she saw me sitting with my phone and I put it down quickly again, she was still scowling when she stormed over the small office and almost was in my face with her aggression.

"I don't fucking pay you to take fucking selfies and see how many fucking likes you can get! you got that!? I don't care if you are fucking James, this is my firm and If you can't act professionally, you are fucking out the door!" she was literally pointing at the front door making me frown, what the fuck was she yelling at me for?! I did everything she asked me to do, or should I say not to do since she just left me to fend for my own!

I was just about to start snapping back her being a fucking bitch at me when I saw the door open and James walked inside and she turned her head fast and looked really flushed making me just stare at her when James was still standing in the doorway, dusting off his coat from snow the short stroll from the car and he looked up and smiled when he saw her making her blush even more, holy f**k! Angela the f*****g bitch liked James!

"Hey Angie, how is my girl here doing, good?" he was still smiling when she lost her own one and I wanted to slap him hard over his stupid face, didn't he f*****g get it that she liked him, wanted to f**k him and he just called me his girl, not even understanding that she was not taking that as me being a friend, nobody did.

"Yes... yes I was just telling her what a great asset she is to my firm, you are right James, she is a bright one..." she did a fake smile making Carl chuckle like that was the funniest thing he had ever heard and me just being stunned over how she just lied to his face over what just happened, I was this fucking close to just call her bullshit out, but then again, I needed a job and I rather work here than in a fast food restaurant.

I looked at James, he doesn't seem to think that she is lying when she just smiles more and I make a sigh when he shifts his eyes back at me, worried all the sudden over that something is wrong when its not me with the f*****g aggression problem, its Angela. "Okay, that's great to hear Angie, I can't thank you enough for helping Andrea out, she has been having a hard time..." I just stare at him offended, he didn't just say that to the bitch and fucker in the back that I didn't know and didn't trust!

"You know what James... I'm not that hungry, why don't you take Angela along instead of me? I want to get myself ahead start of the work that she has been so kind of showing me..." I made a slight sneer when her eyes darted at me, surprised that I told him to take her along and for not selling her out, bitch I was still thinking about it.

He was frowning, he didn't like that, me not being hungry when I took out an energy bar and just waved it at him making him start to relax again before turning his attention back to the now nervous Angela that was looking like she was holding her breath for him to speak again.

"Yeah, sure why not, you like fish don't you Angela?" he smiled more at her when she just made a sound of not making any sense and started to nod when he looked at her like she was slightly weird making me smirk, oh she had it bad for him, so bad. "Sure she does! everyone loves fish, don't they Phillips?" I made a smirk when he just made a barfing noise and not being interested in my matchmaking of my new boss and former one.

"Yes well, shall we go then Angela?" he was holding out her coat for her like a gentleman making me smile more, oh he was such a nice guy, I had wished so many times that I was in love with him more times than I had been able to count, but I wasn't, I still loved the teenager criminal that had stolen my heart.

She just made a smile that was stupid, all of her was in fact, being fucking jealous when she thought that I was fucking James, just like everyone else did.

James gave me a small smile like he had finally figured out what I was doing and looking at me like he was going to get me back for some reason when I smirked, didn't he like her? She was him in a female version after all, worse.

I been sitting here about ten minutes after James and Angela leaving when my stomach did a small growl, well I was hungry, I guess.

"Phillips, you want something?" he looked up at me and was about to say something totally inappropriate when I just ignored whatever s****l hints about what part about my body he wanted and took my scarf and coat, getting out the door and into the light snow that was mixing with the dim sun in the distant sky.

I walked around the town for about ten minutes, not even caring to be afraid about the time I was due back since James was distracting my evil boss and I had done all her stupid work before the idiot in the desk behind me had even got off tinder, probably swiping right at anything that he saw.

I finally found a café that sold something that looked like I wanted to eat, or pretend I wanted to eat when I took the plastic container of salad and just made a deep sigh, well at least I wasn't fat anymore.... My thoughts being drifted off when the line was moving kind of slow and the music in here was still playing carols, two weeks after the holidays, being a cold grey January day, amazing.

It was almost my turn in the small line when I glanced around bored, looking out the big windows to the front when I made a deep gasp seeing the tall guy standing on the other side of the street, cars passing by fast. the man that was dressed in a hoodie that was up and a puffy black winter jacket making my heart drop. Jonah.

I felt the container sliding out of my hands when my jaw was open and I just stared at him, I knew it was him, nobody else would make me feel like I was pinned down not even seeing the face or eyes of the person that was having his hands in his pockets. just watching me, making me shiver all over my body and not from the cold.

He was leaving when I finally seemed to be able to start to move again and just pushed the two persons that was standing in line after me aside and out the door when he was picking up the pace, walking faster on the other side of the pavement and I just followed him, desperately wanting to get close to him, f*****g beg me to forgive me, take me back, f*****g love me again!

"JONAH!" I screamed his name as loud as I could earning the amused and annoyed faces of people that past me while I was trying to not loose him in the crowd that was blending him inside, not understanding that I needed him! he was my oxygen and right now, I was fucking drowning not feeling his lips and body against me, f**k!

I swear I saw the guy flinch when I called out his name, it was him! it couldn't be anyone else! I knew him, not just the way his body looked or dressed, no. the way he moved and holding himself up when he was standing, I had been freaking obsessed over him, I wanted to know everything about him before, still did.

"JONAH PLEASE JUST STOP!" I was panting hard when he was walking even faster on the other side of the road and I was making curses that he was still so f*****g stubborn, I know that I was the one that left him, but he was being impossible, just like before! "Andrea!" I turned around seeing James and Angela. He looked pissed and she was confused, making a smile that I was acting crazy, happy that James was pissed at me because she was jealous. that bitch.

I felt like a small child that had been caught doing something forbidden when James was still frowning at me, knowing exactly what I was doing, trying to talk to Jonah.

"........" He just looked at me like he was really disappointed in me making me feel even worse, the strong nausea that was gripping me and my chest heavy from almost getting to see Jonah, and getting rejected, again.

"Lets just go home." He had a slightly softer voice when Angela made a deep frown, I don't think that she actually gave a shit about James making me leave her office after half a day. More like she was angry as hell that he was taking me back to his home and not her.

I didn't say a word. Just nodded when he let Angela go giving her an apologetic look and just going over and fetching me like I was unable of moving on my own, and he was right. I was frozen to the ground where I had stopped.

"Don't expect me to pay for a full day James...." Angela made a small sneer that he ignored and didn't seem to care about that, money.

"Its fine.... Maybe its too soon anyway..." He said that like he was thinking about me quitting making me frown, what?! He wasn't my boss or my f*****g boyfriend, he had no f*****g say if I was supposed to work or not!

"No! I don't want to go home, I'm not a fucking housewife James!" He just looked sad when I hissed at him, he didn't get it, nobody did! I was never going back to just being home and dragging my feet around, being dependent on a guy to support me!

"Angela, I can still work! you tell me what to fucking do and I will fucking do the best job you ever seen!" I was turning to her when she looked surprised at me, having an attitude much like her own and I almost saw a small smile like she was wondering how she was going to make me regret those words, but I didn't care, let her fucking bring her worst.

"Sure Andrea." She made a big deep smile that I just looked at determined, oh she was going to be a nightmare, but she was nothing I couldn't handle, I had been living with my parents for six months for crying out loud.

James looked at me unsure, like he didn't want me to push it too hard when I didn't give a shit about that, I could work around the clock since I had nothing else in my life, nothing more then James that was my former boss and the only person in the world giving a shit if I was breathing or not.

"Alright." He just said that, and I frowned at him, I didn't need his fucking permission to do anything, but Angela sure as hell was interested what he wanted.

"Great! So, let's get started after lunch then, I can show you what I forgot to tell you about this morning..." she made a sly smile that I ignored and just nodded, she would do everything to be a bitch to me, and I would show her that I was just as bad as her, worse. "I'm not hungry." I just said that and walked back to the office, leaving the two worried and smirky bosses behind me.
