I Need You (Five Hargreeves x Reader) Number Five

Chapter 136

"I smell... jealousy", Lila chuckled. "No, she is nowhere jealous. In fact she works really hard and with complete devotion. The boss just has a thing for annoying her all the time", Five said making Y/n nod.

"I have started getting bad vibes from him at this point", Y/n mumbled. "You forgot how good you were at this... Just resign", Lila said. 

"I will... Once I get done with the Keepers. He just keeps stalling us... I feel like he does it on purpose now. As if he is secretly believing them too" Y/n mumbled making Lila chuckle. 

"You didn't change even a bit", Lila sighed. "But you have", Y/n said. "For better or worse?", Lila asked. "Better now that you are settling...", Y/n said. "I could argue on that", Lila mumbled.

"Anyways... We should get going. It's getting late", Five said. "You are right. I need to go check on the twins too", Lila sighed taking the last sip of her coffee. 

"I will go pay the bill", Five said standing up. "You need something else, darling?", he asked. "Being a gentleman, are we?", Y/n asked. 

"For you... always", he said as her lips curved into another smile. "Not anything for me... But you can get that walnut brownie Alex really likes", she suggested as he nodded. 

"Sure, I will. Anything else?", he asked as she shook her head. "Lila?", he asked as she shook her head. He nodded as he started walking towards the counter. 

"Lila... Can I ask you something?", Y/n asked looking back at Lila. "Sure, go ahead", Lila said.

 "Why don't you talk to Diego about this? Why didn't you tell him?", Y/n asked. 

"I... I have been meaning to talk to you about this, Y/n. All of this", Lila said as Y/n looked at her looking a bit worried. "Hey... What's wrong?", Y/n asked.

"I... I don't think I am managing this well", Lila said as a tired sigh escaped her mouth. 

"Lila... Did you see how Gracie was so happy on her birthday party. You were restless, constantly moving here and there just to make sure that she had the best birthday. Rest assured, Lila. You are doing a great job", Y/n said placing a hand on her shoulder. 

"I... Fine... I get it. Thank yous o much for saying all that... But the problem is with Diego... I don't know even know anymore... He wants this job so bad and if I tell him I got it... It isn't going to end up so well. He is desperately trying to be a part of the CIA", Lila said. 

"I understand... But is that it?", Y/n asked. 

"No... My relationship with Diego... I think we moved too fast, Y/n. It's like... we don't even know each other anymore", Lila said as Y/n could hear the literally concern and exhaustion in her voice. 

"You know... We had Grace very early on in the relationship... Ad to be honest... I feel like it is all going down the drain hole at this point", Lila said as Y/n shook her head.
