My hands are shaking as I ride the elevator, I can't focus, Ethan seems so calm and I don't know why. He told me that "no matter what we'll still have each other" yeah sure. If he gets the job, I'll have to move out because my rent will be too high to pay and I don't have enough experience to get another job like this. I like Ethan, like really like him, but this job, this fucking job pays my rent and my food and everything. So without this job, I'll have to live with my mom and after all I've been through, I'd rather die than live with my parents again.
And this fucking elevator is so slow.
I haven't slept in days, and I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight, or ever again. He grabs my hips and pulls me closer to him, until my back hits his chest. He kisses my neck. "Not now" I whisper. Trying to push away, but he holds me. His arms wrapped around my waist. "I don't want to fuck you, not now, I just want to be closer to you" he tells me and that makes me smile. Because now Ethan is my "boyfriend" (the word sounds too weird to me, because now it's real). We're not "Ethan and Veronica" anymore, we're simply Ethan and Veronica, a real couple.
"I just like your smile so much," he whispers in my ear. "Thank you" is the only thing that can get out of my mouth, because of how much I'm blushing. I can feel my cheeks heat up. "Oh god, I sound like an horny teenager" I laugh, turning my head to look at him.

"I definitely noticed many improvements between the two of you" Mr Adams begins saying, and it all feels like we just met, but this time, we're holding hands and will go home together. We laugh at his statement. "Thank god I never put up a policy against coworkers dating" he chuckles. I look at Ethan and laugh. It's funny because the me from six months ago would've stabbed me.
"But I guess it's time to end this 'challenge'" I should've definitely told him to go fuck himself, why the hell is he taking so much time. "So I've finally made my decision" what is this, some kind of bakery contest?
"Well congratulations Veronica, you deserve the job" I jump up from my chair and squeal. "Oh my god, thank you so much" I laugh. "The office will be yours by the end of the week, congratulations" Mr Adams concludes, smiling. He shakes my hand and looks at Ethan. He is still sitting, but he's smiling. "I'm so proud of you" he tells me.
I can barely feel my legs, it's like I'm flying. Everything feels so good, and the whole world looks amazing once I open my eyes again. My dream has become true, I have my dream job, my dream office, my dream man. And for the sake of god I just hope all of this isn't a fucking dream, because if it is I swear I'll jump out of this fucking window.

"You wanna sit on my face once we get home?" he asks me as we walk to my soon-to-be-ex-office. "Is this the way you talk to your new boss?" I joke. The office seems new, knowing that now the place is mine. Every single person here works for me, god this is scary. This is all mine. That desk, that chair, that coffee mug, I'm responsible for all of it. And it feels great now that I'm in charge now. I walk straight to my office as Ethan follows behind me.
