A/N:  I've renamed Me from playing it cool as Guy, I've never written for him before so apologies if the character is off.

Warnings: Swearing

When Guy saw the email from Bryan, he was not happy. What was worse is the sound of a book sized parcel landing by his door. He didn't even need to open it to know exactly what book it was. He still opened it though groaning out-loud when his suspicions were confirmed.

"I'm gonna fucking kill him" Guy groaned grabbing his jacket and the book before storming out of his apartment.

When he got to Bryan's office he didn't wait for him to be ready. He hunted him down to give him a piece of his mind. He found Bryan stood just outside his office talking to a woman.

"I told you very specifically no more romcoms" Guy states slamming the book into Bryans chest.

"Oh come on man, it's a good one" Bryan chuckles shaking his head glancing over at the woman.

"I don't care, I want something with more weight" Guy complains.

"It has got weight! People are saying it could be award winning, you could get an Oscar" Bryan reasons making guy scoff and shake his head.

"Look there isn't much else at the moment, this was the best I could get and it's pretty damn god, if you don't take this I can't promise you anything until the New Year" Bryan tells him passing Guy the book.

Guy sighs looking down at the book in his hands before glancing over at the woman who was watching with an amused expression on her face. She was incredibly beautiful and had that cheeky air about her, he could tell she was the kinda girl you could have fun with.

"You said in the email the author wanted to be involved in the writing of it" Guy queries looking back over at Bryan.

A grin grows on Bryan's face as Guy gave in "yeah, the book has an extremely strong following and she's seen plenty of books get murdered by the film industry so she just wants to make sure that doesn't happen" Bryan explains.

"That's fair, plenty of directors have murdered my scripts" Guy mutters looking down at the book.

"I'm glad you agree, meet Y/N, you guys are gonna be spending a lot of time together" Bryan smiles putting his hand on your shoulder introducing you.

Guy inwardly groaned, he hadn't even introduced himself to you, someone he found quite attractive and he'd already insulted your work. This is why love and romance was all a scam.

"Looking forward to working with you" you smirk holding out your hand.

"Likewise, and I'm sorry for what I said about your book- um- for evermore" Guy says looking down at the book so he could read the title.

"Its fine, but maybe try reading it first before you pass judgment" you smirk nodding down at the book in his hand.

"Um yeah sure, I'm Guy by the way" Guy says holding out his hand.

"Guy? Is your sister's name Girl?" You joke as you shake his hand.

"Um I don't have a sister" Guy say awkwardly.

"It's a joke" you chuckle "I'll see you soon Guy" you say before heading off.

Guy watches as you go before turning back to Bryan and hitting him on the shoulder.

"A heads up would have been nice" he grumbled as Bryan just laughs.

*****

Guy put off reading your book for a week. He knew he had to eventually, but he despised the romance genre so much that he found every excuse not to read it. Even when he told himself to read it he'd find himself sat at the table resting his chin on his folded arms staring at the closed book.
