The Stalked Assistant (Chapter-13)

That evening I'm walking out of my office and see Amanda at her desk, I didn't want to go with her, because I didn't feel like having to put on a fun face and act like I was enjoying the weekend with her and her family but now I don't have a damn choice. I stupidly told Claiborne I would be going with Amanda and now I can't just not go because what if he asks her? His going to know I lied and probably think as I said earlier that I just wanted to crash into his office to put a stop to that disgusting crap I walked into.

Claiborne left the office earlier and hasn't been back and I don't expect him to be coming back either, he had several meetings to go through the rest of the day and at least that saved me and him the awkward conversations we would have been having after that shit.

"Hey, girl. I changed my mind. I would love to go with you this weekend if you're still offering" I tell her and plaster a fake smile on my face, hoping she thinks it's a genuine one. Any other day I would have been happy with her inviting me but just not today when I have so many questions about unknown and now that I'm having to come to terms that I really do have a little crush on my boss and that both just makes me either want to throw up or punch something.

I haven't decided which one just yet, maybe and possibly both.

"Sure! I would love that. Here, let me get you my number! I have to run home and grab a few things I got for my parents, it's their anniversary this weekend" she says as she quickly writes her phone number down on a piece of paper before sliding it over towards me on her desk.

"Oh? I don't need to go then. I didn't know it would be a family thing, Amanda" I say, hoping that will get me out of it, but then what am I going to tell Claiborne if he asks about my weekend?

"Nonsense, I already told them I was bringing my new bestie with me. They are expecting you anyway. I was hoping that you would change your mind" she smiles as she rushes to assure me that it would be okay with her parents.

"If you're sure?" I asked her double checking, now I really didn't want to go, I'll have to make sure I'm feeling happy all weekend when all I want to do is climb inside my bed and never leave it again.

"Yes! I'll pick you up in a few hours, that should give you enough time to pack" she says as she starts gathering her stuff and we both start walking towards the elevator. "Saturday will be very busy at my house, staff will be getting ready for the party. You, me and my parents will be going to the country club to play some tennis, my mother loves playing."

I guess I could try to have fun this weekend, I better have some fun while I can because I have a feeling things are only just starting with Unknown.

"That sounds like fun. I never played tennis before" I tell her as we ride the elevator down, I try to push Unknown and Claiborne out of my thoughts on the way down.

"Yes! We are going to have a blast you will see! I'll call you when I'm on my way. Text me your address!" She waves bye before heading, I assume, to where she parked her car.

Smiling softly I head to mine, and I can't stop my eyes from looking around me making sure I'm not being followed, oh god I'm starting to get paranoid. 

Stop Izzy. It's probably all a freaking joke, it's all just a prank. They're not going to send that. It's just someone wanting to play games, the person said he wanted to play one so maybe this is the game. Making me scared.

It's working, I will give them that.

Goosebumps are spreading across my skin as I start to jog to my car, my hearts pounding in my chest as I unlock it and practically throw myself inside before quickly closing and locking the door behind me.

Goodness.

Ugh, why has my life gone so damn bad?

I crank the music up as loudly as it would go to try to take my mind off of everything and I start to sing along to the music. 

Around 28 minutes later I'm walking into my apartment and I remember I need to text Amanda so I quickly pull out my phone, I add her number to my contacts and send her my address.

I'm going to be gone for the weekend so I will need to make sure Poohbear has enough food and water, my poor baby isn't going to know what to do. I never left him over the night before.

I fill up his water and food bowl, as much as I could fit into both, looking around I don't see him, his probably napping on my bed the lazy boy.

Heading into my room, I walk towards my closet and pull out the only suit case I have, it's pretty big, too big for a weekend trip but it's all I have so it's going to just have to work.

I'm not exactly sure what all we will be doing for the weekend but I know they are having a party Saturday night so I find a cute little dress, it's black. I can wear that to the party. I also dig around and find my underwear shoving several bras and panties into it along with a few pajamas and an outfit to wear on Sunday.

I turned around and sure enough my eyes spot Poohbear laying curled up sleeping on my pillow, I slowly walk towards him and pull him into my arms.

"Mommy's going away for a few days, but I'll be back sometime Sunday. Don't make a mess with your litter box while I'm gone" I say as I rub my nose against the top of his head and he purrs softly.

Laying him back down, I turn the TV on for him, yeah yeah I know his just a cat but I don't want him to get lonely while I'm gone and the wifi comes with the rent so it's not like I'm going to have to pay more for doing this.

Once all my things are packed, I head back into my closet pulling out a pair of blue jean shorts and a white shirt, and changed into it. I don't want to wear what I have on.

Crap I forgot about the country club! I'm going to need an outfit for that, I go back into my closet and start shoving clothes to one side as I go back through my clothes finding a pair of black jeans and a soft grey button down shirt.

That's going to have to do.

I hear my phone dinging from in the kitchen and I quickly shut off all the lights, grabbing my suit case handle I walk out of my head room pulling it behind me.

Walking to the counter, I pull my phone out of my purse and see it's a time from Amanda.

Amanda- On my way girly 

Me- Cool. I'm packed and ready.

Well, I'm as ready as I'm going to get, I head towards my door after grabbing my purse and slip on my wedges and grab a pair of tennis shoes shoving those in my suit case before zipping it up.

Yeah, I'm ready.
