"Just kidding!"
I stopped instantly and looked at him with my mouth hanging in mid-air.
"What did you say?"
"I'm just kidding!" And he gave me the most hilarious laugh I have ever seen in him.
"What the hell, Craig? I hate you!"
I screamed, narrowing my eyes on him but he just continued to laugh at me.
"Oh, my good and gracious heaven, Sophia! Your reaction was priceless!" And he laughed at me again. He even slammed his hand on the table as he can't control his laughter.
I sit back and took a deep breath. I hate him for this freaking joke but on the other hand, I am thankful it wasn't real. Yes, I missed him but I don't know how to face him after what happened last night. I received three calls from him this morning and two this afternoon, but I simply ignored them and pretended not to notice his calls. I even put my phone into silent mode and tossed it in my bag.
"I hate you, Craig!"
"I know you will, but also know you won't hate me forever, duh!" He said rolling his eyes.
I just turned my eyes back to the computer screen and focus on my work, but this annoying gay in front of my desk doesn't want to leave my office and loves to interrogate me all day.
"So, what happened to you last night, Madam Kelley?"
"Madam Kelley?" I repeat, scrunching my face.
"Fine! Sophia Kelley, what happened to you last night? Because it seemed that you forgot to do what you promised before leaving the apartment yesterday!"
I sighed and leaned on my seat. How I wish I had a magic wand to make him a frog even just for today.
"I won't stop bothering you unless you tell me what happened!" He said, crossing his arms over his chest. "You promised to call me and I was worried sick waiting for your call, but I just waited for nothing! I tried to call your so-called brother and his girlfriend, but they were both out of range!"
"I'm sorry, I didn't get the chance to call you last night---"
"Oh, my gosh! You didn't get the chance to call me or you forgot to call me? That's really different, girl, so which one?"
"Fine, I forgot to call you---"
"Haha... see? I was right! Tsk.tsk tsk." He shook his head.
"Listen to me first, Craig."
"Hmmp! Do I have a choice?"
I smiled at him before telling him the whole story of what happened yesterday and even last night. I didn't tell him in details as it was a personal matter with my husband, but he understands it especially the disappointment I felt this morning.
"Ohh... I don't know what to say, girl... I mean, I understand your how you feel but we didn't know what kind of emergency he had to deal with this morning. But I'm sure he has an explanation for that if you just answered one of his calls!"
He said emphasizing the word 'answered'.
"Anyway, congratulations! You won the battle against his ex-bitch-girlfriend and you found out the truth about his feelings!"
"Yeah, but I still wonder why he's doing it."
"Come on, don't worry about it too much. You have already taken the first step and I'm sure you will easily get into the second and then the third, the fourth and the last! But for now, let's celebrate as you finally experienced heaven on earth!"
I chuckled with the words he used only to stop with his next question.
"So, is he big?"
"Forgod-fucking-sake, Craig! What kind of question is that?" I screamed as I also glared at him. I felt the blush crawl across my face and down to my neck.
"What's wrong with my question?" He asked, acting innocently.
"What's wrong with your question, really, Craig? You're asking about my husband's private part, how dare you!"
But he just laughed at me again.
"Fine! You don't have to answer it, I already knew the answer based on the blush on your face. Tsk .tsk... hilarious."
"Hilarious your face, argh! Get out!" I pointed to the door screaming.
"Hahaha... of all the girls I asked about their boyfriends' jewels, your reaction was the most funny!"
I didn't respond to his silly comment, but I threw my pencil eraser at him as he stood up. But sad to say that I have no talent in shooting as it only landed on the chair that he vacant.
"Fine, I have to go but expect me within twenty minutes with a bottle of red wine and your favorite pizza." He winked at me before finally left my office.
