Their End, My Beginning novel Chapter 21

As I got to my cubicle and started to organize my things, I heard knocks on my door and saw it was Cassy and Richard standing with a sad expression.

“Hey donkeys, I am not leaving forever you guys are stuck with.” I said walking to them and hugging them both. After our group hug, we pulled back.

“Yea, I know that is the saddest part. You not leaving for good,” she said with tears in her eyes, which made me laugh.

“I know you love me.”

“Yea believe what you want to.”

I turned to look at Richard, who was silent. It’s not that he was talkative, but he is not that quiet.

“What is it, Richard? You know, I will come in between to get ideas from you guys. You very well know the fact that without your suggestions I won’t be able to complete it.”

“We are only supporting and agreeing to all the ideas going through your head. We have done nothing, it is all you. You have no idea what you head holds.” That made me giggle.

“Well, I don’t deny that, but I need support to complete it you know how difficult it gets when we are in the middle. We get stuck and not know what to do next forgetting out original plan and it was you guys reminding me what I originally planned and without that support we ay not even be having this conversation right now.” He nodded to what I said. It was not just the fact I am leaving it is something else that makes him quiet or should I say worried.

I walk closer to Richard and hold his arms. He is 5’8 shorter than Ryder who is 5’10 but taller than me (5’6).

“What is it, Richard?”

“You will get back together with him, right?” he asked.
