grounded

present time 2021

RUBY

the memory still fresh in my mind, I couldn't help but still be proud of myself, going against my comfort zone to put this narcissistic man in his place

which actually makes me consider this job because first of all why the hell not? , second of all, if I stood my ground against him when I was 17, I can stand against him again when I'm 19

all I hear about this guy is how he never takes shit from no one, it's not hard to believe, it just annoys me that he thinks he's better than everyone just because he has money and fame

yeah I'm definitely taking this job

checking my phone, I realized that I have just enough time to get ready and head back to Sony to sign the contract

I'm definitely gonna shit myself from all the racing thoughts in my head about what could possibly happen if I actually get trapped on tour with Harry Styles for 3 months

way too many thoughts ran through my head in anxiety, most of them almost unrealistic but you never know

I didn't need my parents approval either so this is making it way too easy for my irresponsible teenage side

it's not like they're gonna notice I'm gone so I'm okay

pushing my worried thoughts aside, I headed upstairs to start getting ready to start my first ever job

my first ever job that consists of everything I love

I've waited for this opportunity for years and now I'm here getting ready for it

even if I'm terrified of the man I'm gonna be sitting behind, I won't let this opportunity slip away from me

stepping out of the shower still deep in my thoughts, still debating whether or not I should be taking this job, I decided to just start picking out a casual but still professional outfit

pulling out my black dress pants and a pink blouse and some minimalistic jewellery, I put them on quickly walking to the mirror and making sure I look presentable before I put on my flats and head towards my car, anxiety pumping through my body is almost like unbearable pain

trying to ignore it I start the car and just drive to the headquarters once again

you're just signing a couple papers and you'll be on your way until you actually have to travel the world

not having any friends around here was making this easier as I don't have to say goodbye to anyone 

finally putting my car into park, I go back to the building and actually look at it this time

it's very pretty 

its just a white building with little accents of color here and there from the big glass windows that show the furniture inside each office making it look not as intimidating, but the huge Sony sign outside can make you nervous as hell

or maybe that's just me

deciding to actually go in, I walk up to the front desk again but the receptionist beat me to it

"Mr. Jenson is waiting for you in his office" actually looking at me this time, I smiled and thanked her, walking back to the office I was once interviewed in

standing once again in front of his office, I knock but let myself in right after since he is expecting me 

he looks up at me in surprise before smiling, "oh you actually came, I thought you'd turn down the job" he laughs slightly before asking me to sit down 

but I couldn't help but look at the man that has his back to me on one of the chairs in front of Mr. Jenson's desk, but I sat down none the less

"sorry, Ruby, I didn't tell you that Mr. Styles is gonna be joining us today"

that's when the now not so mysterious man turns around to face me

 and my brown eyes once again met emerald green.
