Come to my office when your free
That's what the message said, I couldn't help but get nervous. Was I already going to get fired?
My boot clad feet dragged against the floor, my hands constantly being wiped down the sides of my pants due to the clamminess.
"Nathan?" I ask quietly, tapping my finger on the slightly ajar door.
"Kat - come in!" I obey his orders, opening the door and closing it behind me.
"You wanted to see me?" I ask, taking a seat across from him as he types on his computer.
"Yeah - there's a convention for blogs were going to be buying. It's about two hours away; Katie, John, Julie and I are going this weekend and I was wondering if you'd like to come - get a feel for what will come in the future for you." Nathan says crossing his hands over each other, waiting for my response.
"That sounds great - uh how will the transportation work out?" I really didn't want to waste money on a hotel room and gas money for this unpaid trip but if I had to I guess I would.
"We're are all going together - Katie is renting us a van to take us, you just have to be here Saturday morning - 5 am sharp. Oh - and it's also a paid trip so that's a plus." Nathan says shrugging and I nod.
Holy shit, I scored myself a great job.

After Nathan told me of the plans this weekend, I went back to my office to do as much work as possible. I had to do amazing to please him and the rest of the people above me.
I'm surprised my fingers didn't fall off due to the excessive typing. My eyes were burning due my computer screen, I'm sure they were red.
Just as I was editing my fourth page of the blog my phone rings.
"Hello?" I answer, my fingers still moving on the keyboard.
"Fast at work?" The voice says and I instantly recognize it as Ashton. I chuckle nodding, although he can't see me.
"Yeah, I'm trying to work really hard." I say taking a break from the keyboard and cracking my fingers.
"You always work hard." Ashton compliments and of course I smile, he always made my smile even when I didn't want him to.
"Well I'm just working harder." I say and Ashton chuckles.
"Anyways - the reason I called you was because its 10:30 and I got out early and my apartment is empty. I was hoping for a 'welcome home babe!' And never got one." Ashton says into the phone and I quickly look at the clock on my computer. Damn.
"Wow - I completely got lost in my own world. I'll be there soon. Need me to pick up food?"
"No it's fine, I'll order Chinese before they close just get yourself here." Ashton says and I can tell he's smirking through the phone.
"Okay." I chuckle, both of us hanging up.
I put my phone in my bag, quickly finishing the last project I had to do. Once I'm done, I turn my computer off and walk out my office, passing Nathan just as he continues to walk out.
"Still here? Weren't you scheduled till 9?" Nathan asks as we both walk out the building and into the parking lot.
"Yeah - I guess I was really into the latest blog that I lost track of time." I mumble, my cheeks hot.
"Don't work too hard, we want you here for a while." Nathan says nudging his elbow with mines, a smirk on his lips.
I chuckle, staring at my shoes. "Really? You guys like my work?" I timidly ask as we get nearer to my car.
"Yeah, it's great. It's different. It's what we needed and obviously your bettering the company so props to you." Nathan says bowing his head to me.
I chuckle once gain, unlocking my car. "Well I try." I lamely respond and he nods, his arm leans on my car slightly, a jacket slung on his arm.
It's quiet and a bit awkward so I open my car door, hoping Nathan would get the idea that I was leaving.
"Well - have a goodnight.." I mumble and Nathan nods at me, a smile on his lips as I climb in my car, he closes the door for me, waiting till I open my window for him to speak.
I quickly turn my car on, opening my window on the process. I peer up at Nathan waiting for him to say something but instead he just bites his lip, patting my door and standing up straight.
"I'll see you Friday morning." I nod, watching as he walks back to his car.
That was strange.

I yawned as I slipped my spare key into Ashton's door. It opens with ease, Maxie instantly coming up to me.
"Maxie!" I muse, bending down to pet her.
I watch as Ashton walks in to greet me, putting his hands on my waist as I stand up and pecks my lips.
"Missed you." He mumbles on my lips, my cheeks warm.
"Did you?" I ask and he nods, his hands slip into the back pocket of my jeans, pulling my even closer to him.
"Yup, couldn't get my mind off of you." He says confidently. I bite my lip and nod in satisfaction.
"What about me?" He asks, tilting his head to the side, one of his dimples peek out, his curly hair flopping on his head.
"Of course." I reply and he grins at me, pecking my lips once again. He then grabs my hand, pulling me into the living room.
"I ordered Chinese like I said - so let's eat then get to bed yeah?" He asks pulling me next to him as we plop on his couch, his coffee table filled with cartons of food.
"Mhm." I reply, grabbing a carton and a fork as I begin to eat.
Ashton chuckles, pecking my temple as he too grabs a carton, digging in as well.
I loved nights like this.
