Endless Love

"So, he didn't even tell you about this?" Tay asked me as we walked outside to my car. Tay was coming to work with me so she would be on time, and I had to take Lily to daycare since it was Monday morning. Josh is going to picking her up since I'll be at work, even though we argued I wasn't keeping him from Lily no matter what. She deserves to still go see him regaurdless.

"Yeah, isn't that some shit right?" I said opening the door and putting Lily in the car, and starting it. I didn't wanna talk about it in the car while Lily was in there, I didn't want her to feel involved.

"But everyone know's Naomi was with like just about everybody back then?"

"That's what I said, I was like you're questioning my intentions when I been holding my own from the start, I never wanted Josh for his money like how could she even get into his head that far to make him believe that I would pin a baby on him?"

"Exactly, if anyone was trying to pin Josh down it was her, and she obviously still is and for some reason he doesn't get how manipulative she is, and Naomi needs her ass beat the old fashion way."

"Yeah but yet he told me that day how manipulative she could be. Like does he still have feelings for her or something or is she brainwashing him to think that she's being honest? And I know but I got a daughter to think about."

"I don't get it either. Well, I'm just saying you got a best friend right here that don't have no kids and I will gladly put my job to the side and kick some ass for you, you know that right? And at the same time, she brought your daughter into drama when she told Josh he needed a test, that's disrespect."

"Yes, Tay I know that's why I love you but I don't need you to do that." I hugged her and laughed and we got in the car. She's my best friend and I'm happy she was always there for me. "You do have a point, I'm just waiting to see her now, and I hope it's soon."

"Shit me too and I hope I'm there with you." Tay said as we pulled off and I drove out the parking garage and into the traffic of New York. I haven't talked to Josh in days, but we texted this morning when I told him he could pick up Lily. He has been trying to call me, left me hundreds of messages but I haven't been answering or returning anything he left, I didn't wanna talk to Josh at all right now, but I had to have some type of communication with him because of Lily.

Once I got to work, I was flooded with meetings and a bunch of new articles to work on since it was the new year. I got my weekly schedule of what my week would look like and honestly it was busy as ever.

"Why am I so booked up this week?" I said walking over to Alina's desk.

"Kim's gone to Paris for the week and she left you in charge of the important things, she said she was going to call you once she got there and explain everything to you." I wasn't surprised at this, Kim always left me the biggest things to do when she'd be out of town. I have to focus this week on work and can't let the bullshit with Josh interfere.

"Okay, I can handle it just wish she would've let me know."

"Oh I know, you know how last minute Kim is. Go take a lunch break? I'll take any calls that come in."

"Ugh, thanks. I'm hungry as hell can I get you anything?"

"Just my regular coffee, and by the way Josh called for you earlier when you were in a meeting and left a message saying for you to call him."

"Yeah that's nothing important." I said putting on my coat and scarf.

"Why are you two always arguing?" She said laughing as she was typing away on the laptop on her desk. "It just seems like you hate that you love the guy."
