Fated to Them (book 1+2)

Chapter 22

Read Fated to Them by Jessica Hall Chapter 22 – “So, you’re back on for Fridays?” She asks, wiggling

her eyebrows and my face heats. My mother knew of our arrangement, I had no secrets with my

mother, and she was one of the least judgemental people I know. She was completely open, and I

could tell her anything.

“Yes mum” I tell her with a groan, “Go get Maya” I tell her, and she sends me a wink before ducking out

the door.

“Why would you tell her that?” I ask looking to them,

“Thought she should know you will be moving”

“I am not moving, I am staying here with my family, you have no right meddling in my life the way you

do” I tell them getting up and grabbing their empty cups and walking to the kitchen. They follow not

getting the picture I want them to leave.

“So where do you go on Fridays?” Eli asks curiously,

“we had you followed for the last two weeks and never once seen you go anywhere besides work and

home, and who this, Sam person”

“Sam is none of your business, my life outside work is none of your business, can you just leave

please” I tell them pointing to the door.

Cyrus walks past me and sits at the table,

“No, not until you tell us who this Sam person is”, He says.

“Either you tell us, or I will just check your phone records and track him that way” Eli says, walking over

and sitting next to Cyrus.

“He is a friend, why does it matter, you’re my bosses. We are not in a relationship” I emphasize. I had

no idea what their going was, but it was clear they had some kind of weird arrangement. I knew they

were married yet both of them have kissed me and the other was never fazed by it. I shake my head at

the thought.

“So he is male?” Eli says ignoring my other comments.

“Yes, and I think you should leave” I tell them but neither of them move so much as an inch.

“What sort of friend”

“G*d that is none of your business, why can’t you understand that?” I yell at Cyrus.

“It is our business, you belong to us” He answers simply like it’s the most logical answer in the world.

“this, this right here is not normal, you do get that right? Bosses usually don’t visit their employees at

home, or stalk them, or ask about there s*x lives” I tell them in frustration.

“So, you s********h this Sam?” Eli asks, really that’s all he got from that entire little rant. But why do they

both suddenly look so angry. Cyrus fist was clenched tightly on top of the table, his jaw clenched as he

stared behind me. Eli was glaring directly at me.

“That’s none of your business for the hundredth time. Now can you leave please you’re making me

uncomfortable” I tell them.

“Is he why you won’t leave?” Asks Eli.

“No, we aren’t like that, just friends with benefits” Both of them look at me like they have never heard

the term, I can’t believe I was having this discussion with my bosses like how inappropriate.

“What is a friend with benefits?” Cyrus asks, perplexed. My face heats with embarrassment, I really

have to explain this. Do I have to tell them about the birds and the bees too?

“We are friends who s********h each other, no strings attached” I tell them, and they look at each other.

“How many?”

“Excuse me?”

“How many friends with benefits do you have?” Cyrus asks through gritted teeth.

“Geez just Sam” I tell him, not understanding why he was getting so worked up about it. He lets out a

breath before sitting back relaxing slightly.

“So, you f**k and that’s it” Eli asks, and I raise an eyebrow at him. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“Yes, we have s*x, okay”

“No, it’s not okay, I don’t want you sleeping with this Sam, or anyone else. You are our mate, mates

don’t s********h other people only their mates” Eli says using that strange term now I was one confused,

were we speaking of the same sort of mates as in friend because the way he says it, it sounds like

something different.

“You have lost me?” I tell them, shaking my head.

“You are ours, destined to be with us, we want you and that’s it” Eli answers just as the front door

opens and in runs Maya completely distracting me from what he said. She bounds into the kitchen

jumping up and down excitedly showing me her painting.

“Look Ada I painted you a picture” She says jumping up and down.

“See mummy, grandma, me and you” She says pointing to each blob of paint.

“Awe that’s amazing, looks exactly like us” I tell her. She then notices Cyrus and Eli a grin lighting up

her face, which I thought was unusual.

“Want to see?” She asks, running over excited about her painting. Eli bends down picking her up and

placing her on his hip before looking at her painting.

“Very good Maya” He tells her, and she grins a big toothy grin.

“Look Mr Cyrus” She tells him, and he stands up to look over her shoulder ruffling her hair.

“Very good, a little abstract” He says, cocking his head to the side as he looks at the blob of paint on

the paper and I see Eli nudge him. My mother walks in with Maya’s backpack.

“Oh you’re still here” She says, a little surprised.

“Yes Mrs…Paisley” He stops, and I realise I had never introduced them to each other.

“Her name is Debbie” I tell him, and he nods.

“Are you staying for dinner?” She asks and I shrug no longer caring at this point before looking at them.

They Shrug.

“Yes, mum, they can stay” I answered for them, shaking my head, I was trying to get rid of them but

anyway.
