"So,me and your mom were talking and..." She begins "Like i told you earlier William redecorated and redesigned every inch of this house a couple years ago, his dad wanted to see if he was ready to handle such a project and apparently he was" She waves her hand around the space and i have to look around again still facinated that he did this.
"He was so impressed with him that after a while he made him the chief creative consultant," She lets out a laugh " You are probably wondering where the hell I'm going with all this" She says eyeing me knowingly.
I shrug unable to hold back my smile "Honestly yes" I joke.
Earning a playful nudge from my mom.
"Everything i said is really impressive and don't get me wrong i couldn't be more proud as a mother with what he is doing but.." There is a but?
" I worry about him.."
Why does she Worry?
Is he sick?
She lets out a long sigh, taking a seat on one of the island chairs " The thing about William is he tends to get..a little what is the word" she rests her index finger on her chin in thought.
" A little too into his work that he forget he has an actual life to live,i mean the only places he goes to are the office,the gym to Josiah's and here and the only people he talks to are the twins, my husband and i and josiah who has been his best and only friend since they were in diapers,so he is practically family(his mom was my best friend so he didn't really have to do much socializing they are basically brothers so it doesn't really count-,sorry I'm side tracking my point is; even though he is really good at what he does i don't want him to spend all his time working, he is still very young he should be wanting to go out and have fun, meet new people, explore make mistakes and experience life,you know but all he seems to want to do is work"
She gasps in realization, her brows knitting together in worry " Wait, I'm not sure i have even seen hime with a girl before"
My mom chuckles.
I feel the heat rush to my face.
Does that mean he hasn't everhad a girlfriend?
Maybe he just likes to keep things fun and casual, that wouldn't surprise me.
Boys like that, don't love.
Why do you care anyways?
The snarky little voice in my head nags.
His love life is none of my business anyway, he is an asshole.
"And ever since that incident with his dad it only got worse, he started working even more but that is a story for another day"
What happened with his dad?
Now i want to know
She continues and even though she is saying it casually i can see that she really worries for him, "I don't just want him to work his youth away and begin to wonder where all the time went because he wasn't living in the moment because had his big head buried in a stupid word document"
I watch her talk still wondering where all of this is going and how it involves me but when she says "He needs an assistant," I feel my heart instantly drop to my stomach.
"Someone who can-" i don't hear the rest of what she is saying because her voice begins to fade, sounding far away and distant.
No,no,no,no.
There is no way this is happening to me right now.
