Celebrity Crush

Chapter 16

Aven's POV:

Today we have suit fittings, Ezekiel needs two company suits for when we go on more official meetings.

We have a week until the London trip, yesterday was annoying enough trying to deal with Caylen wanting an assistant so he's not invited to this outing.

Leanne and Sandra are coming though because they're far better at picking out colours and fits and everything, I personally think all of them will look good on Ezekiel but that's just me, I guess.

We head to Karina's place, she's the designer for Earth Energy. She makes all of our company suits and dresses, all from sustainable and environmentally friendly materials of course.

"Aven, Leanne, Sandra!" Karina yells as we walk in, "it's so good to see you again."

"Good to see you again too," I say hugging her back.

"Who's this?" she asks gesturing towards Ezekiel.

"Oh- um," Ezekiel stutters walking forward to shake her hand, "I'm Ezekiel, Aven's new assistant, nice to meet you," he smiles, a light pink colouring his freckled cheeks.

His loose curls bouncing as he talks and laughs with the girls, his smile lighting up the whole room. His freckled cheeks still dusted with a light pink, it suits him. My eyes travel further down to appreciate his outfit of today, I told him to wear something more casual. My black jeans and white button up looking bland compared to his outfit. He went with a black turtleneck with a cropped, green button up over it with black corduroy pants, he looks phenomenal, the green colour of the top pairing well with his brown hair and eyes and the pants especially fitting him just right, everywhere

I snap out of my trance when Karina claps her hands, "let's begin."

After 30 minutes he's tried on 4 suits, all of them have looks great on him, but the girls still aren't impressed.

"Guys I think I really like this one," he calls from the dressing room before walking out.

When he walks out, I can see why he liked it. The suit and tie are a deep green colour with a black undershirt. The company logo on the pocket is subtle and Karina always makes sure it doesn't look tacky.

Our logo is two hands holding a picture of the earth with the words 'the world is in our hands', which is quite cliché but I came up with it when I started the company, and 18 year old Aven thought it was the most clever thing he's ever come up with.

The suit fits him snuggly which accentuates his incredible figure. Especially when he turns around.

"This is my favourite so far," Sandra says, all of us nodding and humming in agreement.

"Ok, this will be your signature suit and then we will also get you the classic black one that all the gentlemen of Earth Energy have," Karina says, "I will just get your measurements to make the black suit for you."

"Will you be ok with us in the room when you're being measured?" I ask, the last thing I want is him feeling uncomfortable.

"It's fine, you can stay," he smiles back at me.

"Alrighty, take the suit of in the change room and stay in your under-garments for measuring," Karina says.

He nods his head, a light blush spreading on his face as he walks back into the changing room.

When he comes back out, suit in hand, I make sure my eyes stay on his face and above.

Karina jumps straight into measuring, the blush still on his face. Leanne and Sandra talk to him so that he's not just standing in awkward silence while I sneak a few glances.

The suit barely did his figure justice, his waist smaller and his hips slightly wider. The slight curve of his back leading down to a very nicely shaped behind. His legs long and slim as well, probably making up most of his 5'5 height. The light chubbiness of his stomach and hip dips on his lean body being another one of my favourite things about him.

"Well Aven, when you're done checking him out you can answer my question," Karina says snapping me out of my trance.

"What-no-I wasn't-" I stutter, both Ezekiel and I blushing this time.

"Yeah yeah, you're straight, blah blah, I've heard that one before from these two," Karina says gesturing at Sandra and Leanne.

"But they're not straight?" I say as more of a question.

"Exactly," she nods, turning back to Ezekiel.

I stand there in shock, what does she mean?

"Anyway, as I said before, should he have a black or white undershirt for the classic suit?"

"White."

*time skip- they left the designer*

"Where do you want to go for lunch?" I ask as we get in the car. Ezekiel getting in the passenger seat next to me and the ladies in the back.

"Pete's?" Ezekiel asks.

"Sounds perfect."

Starting the car, all of us singing to 'teenage dirtbag' and performing to the best of our abilities. It's a shame I'm not allowed to have my windows down, I'm sure everyone on the streets would love to hear us.

We sit down, the four of us just talking and laughing, just enjoying each other's company.

"Hey V," Ezekiel whispers close to me, "are we still doing movie and dinner and hang out at yours Friday?"

"Yeah of course Z, can't wait to hang out with all of you."

We both smile at each other, Ezekiel's cheeks turning pink as he leans closer to say, "I can't wait to hang out with you."

My smile grows at this, I take his hand, squeezing it slightly, "I'm excited for that too."

I pretend not to notice the smiles on Sandra and Leanne's faces, I can almost see the questions swimming in their heads.

I need to remind myself not to be left alone with those two until they forget about it, but knowing them that won't be anytime soon.
