Izzy's POV

I sit on the chair as I place my hands on my desk. I hum in realization that I don't know what the hell I'm doing.

"My phone rings and I see a notification from my boss."

Justin: Massacre in Las Vegas and Texas. We wouldn't send a semi newbie, but you're pretty good at what you do. So you're heading there tonight. Pack a bag. You'll be there for at least two days.

Well okay.

"Kendra." I say into the phone.

"No Isabella. Not Kendra. What happened?"

"Pack me a bag I'll be out of town for two days. I need to go to Las Vegas." I say.

"Can I come with?" She asks.

"Kenny it's for my job, there's been a massacre."

"Oh. Shit. My bad. Okay yeah I'll get on it. Are you coming home now?"

"Yeah, Justin said to go home."

"Okay well then I'll see you here."

I grab my keys, my now useless cup of coffee to keep me awake and walk towards the elevator.

"Hold the elevator!" I hear someone yell.

"I got it!" I yell and put my hand in between to stop it from closing the doors.

"Thank you so much." A woman says so I smile and nod.

"Of course it's nothing really." I say and she smiles.

"Are you new here?" She asks and I shrug.

"Sort of, I've been here for a month now." I say and she raises her eyebrow and nods.

"Wow, so sorry didn't know. I guess I'm too distracted now a days to see who's new. Welcome!" She says and I chuckle.

"It's okay I get that and thank you." I say.

"I'm Claire." She extends her arm and I go to shake her hand.

"Isabella. But some call me Izzy." I say.

"No one calls you Bella?" She asks and I chuckle.

Well....

"No not really." I say.

"Weird, I would think someone would call you Bella. It's pretty." She says with a smile.

I laugh nervously and clear my throat.

"Thanks."

"Where are you headed?"

"Home, Justin told me to pack my bag." I say.

"Are you going because of the massacre?" She asks pointing her finger at me.

"Um yes."

"Oh my god! I should've known when you told me your name. I'm going with you, we're going together. Did Justin not tell you?"

"Uhh no." I say and she chuckles.

"Typical. Well then in that case I'll see you tonight for our flight."

The elevator dings and we walk out.

"Yeah. See you later."

Oh fuck me.

Kenny's POV

"Have you called Christen?" I ask.

"No, why?"

"Because she's your girlfriend? And I don't know because it's usually around this time you guys faceti-"

Izzy's phone rings and I raise an eyebrow.

"Is it her?" I ask.

"It's her."

"Knew it! I called it!" I yell.

"Be quiet." She whispers.

"Hi baby." I hear Christen say and I fake gag.

"Gross."

"Hi babe."

"I don't want to hear it. I'll be in the living room."

Christen's POV

"You be safe okay?" I say.

"I will." She says and I smile softly.

"Happy 6 months." I say and she looks up with a smile.

"Already 6 months? I swear we just started dating." She says with a giggle.

"Well believe it or not it's been 6 months baby." I say and she tilts her head so innocently. "Have you met any more coworkers?"

"I did actually. Her name is Claire, I met her in the elevator actually." She laughs lightly.

"Well that's nice." I say and she nods.

"She's actually my partner? Yeah something like that, we're going together for work."

"Oh, well promise you'll be safe okay?"

"I promise Chris." She says.

"Chris! We gotta go!" I hear Kelley yell.

"Duty calls." I say with a chuckle.

"Be careful, go royals!" She says and I smile.

"Dork, be safe."

"You too." She says.

We hang up and I groan. Flopping onto my back. I run my hands through my face.

"Chris what's wrong?" Becky says and I groan.

"Becky I love her."

"Love who?"

"Becky I'm talking about my girlfriend, about Bella." I sigh out.

"And you're sighing because?"

"Because I didn't tell her, do you think it would be too soon to tell her that I love her?"

"Well every relationship is different, some go in different paces. If you feel like it's the right time AND you're ready to say it then go for it."

"But what if she doesn't say it back?"

"She would say it back eventually, some people are different than others Chris." Becky says and I nod.

"You're right."

"So are you going to call her and tell her you love her?"

"I would if both of us weren't so busy right now."

Izzy's POV

"Kenny I love her, I was about to say it but I didn't say it."

"Bro can I call you bro?" She asks and I shake my head. "Bro just tell her."

"Kenny what the fuck, don't call me bro, you're my best friend." I say and she laughs.

"I know but it's funny when you're mad."

"I hate you." I mumble.

"No you don't. You love me."

"Bella, we need to go." Claire says and I nod.

"Bella? What the fuck?" Kenny says.

"Kenny I gotta go, I'll call you when I land."

"Who the fuck called you Bella? Even Landon knows Bella is only for Christen."

"My coworker, now bye Kenny."

"What the fu-"

"You ready?" Claire asks and I nod.
