Melting Zane

Astraea.

"Who the fuck is Noah?" I sense his anxiety as he paces around the room. I roll my eyes.
"Felix, chill"
"Who's Noah?" He continues freaking out.

When he finally sits down, I put a hand on his shoulder and rub. "I pinky promise he's just a friend. They haven't seen each other in forever. That's why they have been going out almost every day"

"But isn't this excessive? She hangs out with him every single day and rarely comes here. That's not fair!" Felix continues complaining.

"Just confess your feeling to her, Felix. How much longer are you gonna wait?" I tell him. "If you don't shoot your shot soon enough, I swear Noah is gonna ask her out" At that, he tenses. Then he slowly nods and clears his throat.

"I'll ask her out" An internal sigh leaves my lips. Thank God. Every single day for the past three weeks, he's been bugging me. 'Tell me about her favourite thing to do' or 'what's her catchphrase?'. Now, finally, he can ask her himself.

"Should I call her? I'll invite her here if you want" I nudge his shoulder with my elbow. He hmms. "Fine. Tell her that...I have something important I need to say"

I nod and message Rina.

Me: Hey.

Reens🧚: Heyo :)

Me: Felix needs to talk to you ;)

Reens🧚: Huh? Why?

Me: I dunno. He says it's something important.

Reens🧚: Where are you?

Me: At the main base. Get your booty over here asap.

Reens🧚: I'll be there in about 5 mins. Ok?

Me: Ok ~

"She'll be here in about five minutes" I tell him, and immediately regret it when he starts panicking. "Oh, my God. I'm doing this. Am I really doing this? Actually-" He holds his stomach "I don't feel well. Let's reschedule"

I raise a brow. "They're gonna be dating soon" When he hears that, horror immediately engulfs his face.

"Fine. Fine. Fine. I'll do it. But not here. I'll take her out somewhere" I bite my cheek at his nervousness.
"Right. I'll get going now"

I turn to leave, but then stop dead in my tracks.
"Hold on. Who's that girl in Zane's office?" I ask, turning towards him. He smirks and gets up from the bean bag.
"That's Bridget Allison. She's Blaze's daughter" I scrunch my eyebrows, trying to recall who Blaze is.

"Blaze is that muscular guy with the poodle tattoo, no?" I ask. He nods.
"But why is she here?"
"Jealous?" He lifts a brow and grins.
"Shut the fuck up"

He throws his arms in the air and laughs.
"She's his PA"

"Since when?" My eyebrows come together again. Seeing this, he tucks both his lips in to prevent himself from laughing.
"Yesterday"

I take a breath and nod. He wiggles his brows.
"Fine. I'm telling Rina to go back"
"Jeez, I'm sorry" He smiles.

I walk back to Zane's office. This time, I actually knock. Wow. Shocker.

"Enter" He says. I do as told. The girl- Bridget, sits on my favourite bean bag, checking something off the clipboard in her hand. When I enter, she lifts her head and smiles. I return it.

"So" I walk over to Zane. He seems completely focused on his laptop. So much that he doesn't even lift his head. Instead, he does a little 'hmm' and tilts his head towards the seat, motioning me to sit.
