Together Forever

Chapter 42

Ethan

I glance at Matt who is working on his computer, half lying on the couch in my office. It's been a thousand times I guess I told him to at least try to be a bit professional when he's with me. But it's Matt after all.

Today morning I had to go to visit a construction site with Evelyn and Liam was there too. I don't know why but seeing his face is enough to anger me. Maybe he has some tectonic problems with his face.

It's only evening now but I can't wait anymore to go home. It's weird how the same me used to spend the whole night in the office just months back.

I look down at the file in my hand in irritation. It's boring.

I sigh and look away when my eyes fall on my phone. And I smile.

I take the phone and type a message to Evelyn.

Ethan: Are you home already?

I wait a minute before my phone buzzes.

Evelyn: On my way.

I type the next message, a huge smile on my face.

Ethan: Missing me?

Evelyn: Oh you wish!

My lips turn into a pout as I read the message. Doesn't she miss me at all? Maybe it's only me who is missing her like crazy.

Ethan: But I'm missing you a lot.

I write honestly.

While I wait for her reply, I look up to unexpectedly meet Matt's questioning gaze. He has his laptop beside him as he's sitting straight, watching me attentively with both of his hands on his cheeks like Evelyn watches criminal minds. He wiggles his eyebrows at me as he asks,

"Are you ok, bro? One second smiling, the next moment pouting? I guess something is wrong with your system." He taps his chin, playfully.

I glare at him, "Nothing's wrong. Stop disturbing my work and do yours."

"Tsk tsk tsk. I'm watching how much you're working. Liar, liar, pants on fire!" He says, laughing like an idiot.

"Are you 5 or what? Someone, please tell him to grow up." I shake my head.

"Don't worry about me dude. Now tell me who you were texting. Well, let me guess." He thinks for a while before smirking, "Evie, right?"

"Yeah, so what?" I snap, irritated.

"So nothing lover boy." He shrugs.

I am about to speak when my phone buzzes again.

I look down and read her text and an involuntary smile breaks through my face.

Evelyn: Then come home early today.

I think I just needed to hear that to close the file I was working on.

"Hey hey where are you going?" Matt asks me as I stand up, gathering my things.

"Home."

I say as soon as he gives me a shocked look.

"What? Why? It's just evening. You never ever went home this early. And above all, you're supposed to join a meeting with Mr. Liam in thirty minutes. "

"Well, cancel it. I'm in a good mood and don't want to see that fucker right now. "

He frowns at me, "Fucker? What has that innocent guy ever done to you?"
