the amount of tension there is when i'm around matt is frustrating. i can't tell if i want to kiss or kill him sometimes. probably the first one. sometimes he'll be so cute and sweet like last week, and then the second monday morning hits, he's back to being an ass.
i don't like arguing with him, but i hate the way he talks to me. the one thing i did learn from my parents is that i would never put up with a man talking to me like how my dad talked to my mom. i still liked my dad better than my mom though. my mom used to send me texts throughout my whole adolescence trying to guilt trip me because i hated going to her house. most weekends, i asked to stay at my dad's, and she would text long paragraphs saying i didn't love her.
it got to the point where i did question whether i did love her or not. i hated being around her, she hated me, and it was pointless to waste my weekends doing nothing.
this morning, matt walked over to my desk and started demanding everything, then he noticed how stressed i was, scolded me on how i should get more sleep as if i'm a child, and continued to demand more work.
i completed all the work and decided that i really needed to leave early. right when i arrived at work today, i felt so nauseous and exhausted, which is weird because i didn't go out last night. i emailed matt letting him know i didn't feel good, and he ignored it as he sent another email full of work for me to complete. what was his deal today?
i knew that if he was ignoring me, he wasn't in the mood for my shit, but i wasn't in the mood for his. i couldn't be at work any longer or i'd puke.
"come in," he grumbles as i knock on the door to his office. i swing open the door and immediately explain how i don't feel good before he can complain about my presence. "emerson, you really can't work today?" he sighs and tilts his head at me.
"matt- boss, i wouldn't lie about something like that. i genuinely feel horrible right now and i'm about to throw up. i need to leave, i'll do the work at home if you want-" i explain.
"emerson." he interrupts me. "whatever. you don't need to do the work at home, just do it whenever you come back and be a little bit behind. rest so you can come back as soon as possible." he says.
"thank you so much-"
"i don't need all the glazing, go home." he scoffs. rude. i rolled my eyes and turned on my heel to walk out. "drop the attitude." he says. i turn again to face him and look him in the eyes.
"okay dad." i roll my eyes. i swear i see a smirk form on his face as i turn to leave again. weirdo.

once i get home, i did throw up. there was so much traffic and braking on the way home that it only made my nausea worse. i brushed my teeth and laid down, despite me starving. i didn't feel like getting up to cook especially since i was shaky and weak. i felt that i should go to urgent care or something, but i was dragged away from my thoughts by the sound of my phone dinging.
boss
did you make it home alright honey?
boss
sorry for being rude, ryder was pissing me off
again
honey? did he mean to send that to his girlfriend? does he have a girlfriend? why does he take his anger with other people out on me? not my fault.
emerson
honey?
boss
sorry that's just what i call people i like ;)
boss
specifically you
emerson
matt, you make no sense
emerson
save that for your girlfriend.
boss
what do you mean?
boss
i don't have a girlfriend
emerson
shocker. usually ppl who flirt w their coworkers
have a girlfriend or wife at home
i held back a sigh as i typed back a response. how does he not see how bipolar he is? it's so frustrating when he treats me like shit and then is cute again. at least i know for sure he doesn't have a girlfriend now.
boss
i'm not who you think i am, i would never cheat
even if i did have a girlfriend
emerson
you don't have to explain that to me
emerson
save it for someone you actually like
boss
how many times do i have to say i do like you?
emerson
it's hard to believe when people in the office tell
me you hate me and are using me. i don't even know
what that means, "using me"
boss
they think i'm waiting on you to hook up with
me and then i'm going to fire you
boss
obviously that's not true, they don't know me
emerson
whatever matt
emerson
you just know how to mess with peoples'
feelings that's all.
boss
now we're texting with periods?
boss
emmy, if there's a problem i wouldn't know
unless you told me honey
emerson
don't call me honey especially if you're planning
on treating me like shit tomorrow.
boss
emmy
emerson
matt.
boss
call me boss. you know that
emerson
no
boss
why?
emerson
do all bosses flirt with their assistants?
boss
you'd be surprised
emerson
matthew.
boss
sorry, bad timing
boss
i don't know what you're talking about
when you say "flirting" though
emerson
really matt?
boss
i'm really confused
emerson
you're really going to act like you haven't been doing
weird flirty shit for the whole time i've been working
here?
boss
like what?
emerson
you really want me to spell it out, huh?
boss
yes, i'm confused
emerson
you stand a little too close to me, you put
your hand over mine on the computer mouse,
you called me to pick you up when you were
drunk, you told me you wanted me to sleep in
the same bed as you when you were drunk, and
you're always grabbing my hand. not to mention
how overprotective you are over me when i literally
look at another man in the office.
boss
so what? what does all this mean?
emerson
i've been asking myself the same question
boss
are you trying to say i'm in love with you?
emerson
maybe i'm trying to find out how you truly
feel about me so i can sleep
boss
aw i keep you up at night? that's cute
emerson
i hate you
boss
i love you
i don't know whether to laugh, cry, or jump in excitement. is he lying? there's no way a man this good looking just told me he loves me. i'm in such denial, that i had to ask the question i was thinking in my head.
emerson
are you drunk? do u need me to pick u up again?
boss
way to ruin the moment
emerson
was it a moment?
boss
i thought so
emerson
well i love you too matt but i feel like i've made it
so obvious which is why i'm frustrated that you
were saying you didn't understand
boss
i really didn't understand, i guess i didn't
notice it until now but i like you a lot emmy,
sorry if it felt like i hated you before
emerson
thank you for being honest, but how is this
ever going to work out? i'm your assistant
boss
so?
emerson
matt be realistic
emerson
are you actually drunk?
boss
not really
emerson
lmk if u need me to pick u up
boss
i'm not that drunk but u can pick me up
anyways or come to my house
emerson
i don't think that's a good idea
boss
why not? 😏😏
emerson
matt!
boss
sorry sorry
emerson
you're crazy
boss
i know ;)
emerson
that's enough matt 😭
boss
LMAO
