chapter 67

ALIS P.O.V

I looked at the clock on the wall and saw that it was 3:30. I never did ask Matthew what time my shift is finished. The only thing he did tell me was that I would start work at 7:30. Ugh! I wonder if I'll have enough time to get ready for the party Im going to with Mark tonight. I mean...I still have to meet up with Dillion at his house to help him and his sister Dina move their stuff to my apartment.

I rubbed my temples and debated if I should cancel the invitation to go with Mark tonight. Other than family, Dillion will always be one of the most important people to me. I really admire Dillion for being strong and taking good care of his sister. He really is a good brother.

I walked back to Matthew office and this time I made sure I knocked on his door. After knocking on his door I heard a 'Come In' reply from him and opened the door. I only had one question, so I didn't really need to walk in. I just stayed at the door frame.

"Mr. Day, I was wondering what time I get off work?"

He spaced out a little, like he was in deep thought. I cleared my throat and that snapped him out of his thinking.

"What time is it now?"

"3:30."

"What time is your date with Ahboo?"

"8:00 pm and his name is not Ahboo. Its Mark." I replied, not going any further. Matthew doesn't need to know where Im going, so I'll just keep that information to myself.

"Do you still have to help your friend Dillion move his stuff to your apartment?"

"Yes."

Matthew leaned back on his chair and stared at me.

How hard is it to give me one simple answer!?

"If you had to meet Dillion at 8:00 to move his things to your apartment, what would you do? Seeing the fact that you have a date with Mark at 8:00, who would you go to? Dillion or Mark?"

"Dillion." I replied quickly.

Matthew looked taken back and said "Why?"

That was a stupid question.

This time I wasn't afraid to roll my eyes.

"Dillion has always been one of the most important person in my life. I would choose Dillion over Mark any day."

Matthew smiled and when I say smiled I mean a genuine smile.

He leaned forward and said "You may leave right now. From now on you will start work at 7:30 Am and finish at 3:30 Pm."

I honestly didn't expect that. I didn't want to ask any questions like "Are you sure?" or "How come?" because I didn't want him to change his mind.

So I quickly said "Okay" then left his office after shutting the door. I grabbed my purse from my bag and walked straight to the elevator to go straight to the lobby. As soon as the elevator doors opened I stepped inside and pressed the button that will take me to the lobby. As soon as I got in there wasn't any music in the elevator. I chuckled because maybe this time, not having any music playing will help me stop myself from doing anything more embarrassing.

3 seconds of silence were brought to a halt when "Just Dance" by Lady Gaga started playing in the background.

"Ha Ha. Very Funny Matthew. Very Funny." I said out loud sarcastically.

Sounds of laughter were coming from the speakers in the elevator, and one thing for sure is that it wasn't coming from me.

I stepped out of the elevator as soon as it reached the lobby and caught a cab straight to Dillions house.

I knocked on the door and was greeted by a 7 year old beautiful little girl with long brown hair and dark brown eyes.

"Hi Dina!" I said with a smile.

"Ali!!!" said Dina running to me and giving me a bone crushing hug.

Dina doesn't look like Dillion because she takes after her father. Dillion resembles his mother and Dina resembles her father. Its kind of funny because Dillion always was a Mamas boy and Dina always was Daddies little girl.

"Is it really true that Dillion and I are going to live with you from now on?" asked Dina enthusiastically.

I smiled and nodded my head then said "Yup! By the way, where is Dillion?"

"In my room putting my clothes in a box." said Dina

Dina grabbed my hand and took me to her room and sure enough there was Dillion grabbing Dinas clothes and dumping them in a box. He didn't bother to fold them, he just threw them in the box and when the clothes started filling all the way up to the top, Dillion tried his best to shove them down so that he can put more clothes inside.

"Dina! Dammit! Why do you have so many clothes!?" yelled Dillion with frustration.

Dillion didn't even know I was in the room yet. He was so concentrated with getting the clothes to fit in the box that he didn't even bother to look up and see Dina and I watching him from the door frame.

He picked up a pair of shorts and looked at it then said "What is this? This shorts is too short! Throw this away right now! I will not have my little sister walking around the neighborhood wearing something that shows too much skin."

"What? This shorts isn't that short. It stops at the middle of my thighs. So this doesn't seem like something you should be mad about. Plus I would never use something that shows off too much skin." said Dina.

Dillion looked turned his attention towards Dina to respond but stopped when he saw me. "Ali? When did you get here?"

"Three minutes ago. Need any help?" I said with a smile.

"Yeah. Can you take care of Dinas clothes? There are some clothes in here that I am so close burning. I need to leave before I really do burn them and Im sure that if I did, Dina would be pissed." said Dillion.

I laughed and said "Sure. I'll take care of it."

Dillion hugged me and said "Thanks Ali. You're a life saver."

"No problem Dillion. Anything for my best friend." I said with a smile.

Dillion walked out of the room leaving me to help Dina finish putting her clothes into the boxes.

"So Dina, how do you feel about moving in with me?" I asked with a soft tone.

"Im really happy. You're like a big sister to me!" she said enthusiastically. Then she gave me a warm smile and said "I really appreciate the fact that you're helping Dillion and I out. Before I found out Dillion was gay, I was hoping that you and him would get together. Now that I know he's gay, I know for a fact, that you and him getting together is never going to happen." she chuckled and then said with a smirk "Plus, Dillion told me about you and your boss."

I walked to her drawer and started pulling out her clothes and grabbed another box to put her clothes in. Then I turned to her and said "What did Dillion say about me and my boss?"

She pulled the rest of her clothes out from her drawer and sat down beside me and started shoving them into the boxes. I chuckled and shook my head. Dillion and Dina never did like folding clothes. Then Dina grabbed some books from her book shelf that stood near her closet and sat back down by me, putting them in another box.

She turned to me and said "He said that you and your boss have a crush on each other."

I immediately stopped folding her clothes then looked at her and said "I don't have a crush on my boss."

She smirked at me then crossed her arms and said "Dillion said you would say that too."

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. Then I looked at her and said "Dina Im going to tell you this once and I am never going to repeat it ever again. I. Do. Not. Like. My. Boss. "

"You're in Denial Ali." said Dina in a singing voice.

I stopped folding her clothes then stood up and shouted "Dillion Ben Johnson you are so dead!"

You could hear the sound of footsteps quickly approaching Dinas room. Dillion showed up at Dinas door and said "What happened? What'd I do?"

"Did you tell your sister" I said pointing to Dina "that I have a crush on my boss?"

"No." Said Dillion

"Yes you did! You liar liar pants on fire!" Dina shouted and pointed her finger at Dillion.

Dillion chuckled then rolled his eyes and said "Okay fine. Yeah I did. So what? Its the truth."

"Stop telling her lies! I do not have a crush on my boss!" I said in a angry tone.

"You're in Denial Ali." said Dillion in a singing voice.

I scoffed and shut the door in Dillions face. Then I turned back around to Dina and said in a sweet tone "Dina from now on, when Dillion talks about me and my boss, don't believe him okay?"

She giggled and said "Okay."

"Good girl. Now lets get the rest of your clothes in these boxes." I said folding the rest of her clothes and putting them in the box.

There is no way I would ever have a crush on my boss. That man is a arrogant, egotistic, and possessive asshole. Yeah... a hot and sexy asshole.

Even if I did have a crush on him...

I would never admit it.
