Pure Bliss

Chapter 1

Max's POV

Sometimes life is not that bad how you think it is. I never had best friend for the first 14 years of my life. Then I met my friend online. We just started talking about random things and then I learned that we have same interests, love same bands. After a while we had our first skype sessions. I never met her in real life, but I trusted her all my secrets. I trusted her more than I trust my real life friends.
School always been hard for me. I got bullied but not as bad as other kids. I tried to hide from everyone.
When I was about 18 my internet friend Leah had an idea of meeting up. We have been friends for 4 years and this would be our first time meeting each other. I obviously agreed. I would never forget that day, that week we spent together. We lived in different countries so it was hard to meet up. But when she came to meet me she stated at my house too. That was best moments of my life.
Now we both finished studying. Finally the damn university bullshit is over. Once we talked on Skype Leah suggested most random and craziest idea. Moving into London.
And that's where it all start.

When we got to London we were actually scared. We didn't knew anything here. I was confused myself too. Thankfully we already had talked apartment not very far away from center. We had our jobs too. We worked at BBC. I loved my job, my apartment and my friend. It was amazing. I though it wouldn't get better...but it did.

*bzzt* *bzzt*
Sound of my alarm woke me up. I groaned and turned it off. We had important meeting today at bbc. That's why I set alarm this early.
We had our radio show on mornings too but they told us they had some new plans and ideas.
I got out of bed throwing my duvet away and hissed when cold air hit me

I exited my room and made my way towards the bathroom. Leah is nowhere to be seen. I guess she is still sleeping. I went into bathroom and used toilet after that washed my face and brushed my teeth. When I got out I heard boiling sounds coming from kitchen. When I entered I saw Leah making 2 coffees. My usual: 1 spoon coffee, without any sugar and then boiling water. Mix it and add taste lightener.

She turned and saw me standing at doorway.

"What the fuck are you doing there standing and staring?" Leah rolled her eyes and continued with her morning voice "get your ass up here and make pancakes while I go to bathroom too"

I chuckled at her bossiness and opened fridge to pull out needed ingredients to make pancakes.

I prepared mixture and started pouring it down on to the oiled pan. I heard Leah come back to me and wrap her arms around my waist. Not that we are dating or anything.

"You have so signs of being lesbian" I laughed.

She took her hands of me and groaned "what and am I supposed to do when you are preparing pancakes and shaking that Iggy Azalea booty?" She laughed.

"I don't know? Maybe set the table? Put plates on it?" I replied rolling my eyes.

"I hate you" she mumbled.

"I love you too" I replied grinning to myself.

Before I turned back to stove I saw Leah cringe at my cheesiness.
~~~~~~~~

After we finished our breakfast and got dressed we locked our door and headed outside. Grabbing underground map so we won't get lost we hopped into tube.

Thankfully we weren't late and we had 10 minutes before meeting started. We walked in to the building.

We were new here, it hasn't even been 1 week that we worked here. We knew no one here except few people. This made us look even more weird and awkward than usual.

Leah looked at me and then back to someone finishing their talk on the phone.

"Umm, sorry but could you please help us?" Leah asked black silky haired man who was much taller than her looked at us.

"Yeah, yeah. Of course!" The man smiled softly at her and looked down because of the height difference.

"So, umm...we..um, my friend and I are...well, new here and we umm...we had meeting to attend and I don't know where we must go" Leah lowered her head from shyness. She wasn't really shy type of person. She acted like this in front of only strangers but when you get close to her she isn't shy at all.

"Oh! You have meeting with Mr. Jefferson at 10:30 too?" Blue eyed boy beamed.

Leah just nodded in response. I could feel that she felt uneasy around strangers I wanted to help but I was as awkward as she was.

"I have meeting too! We are going to same place. you two must be the new ones here." his smile grew wider and face turned thoughtful. "You must be Leah," he pointed at me before continuing "aaaaand....aaand Max" he looked at Leah. Great. Who is going to tell him that he is mixing us? Or are we just going to go with it? Thankfully my thoughts were interrupted by Leah's voice.

"Umm yeah" wait what. "I mean yes we are new here, but I am Leah and she is Max" Leah explained.

"Oooh, I'm so sorry" he chuckled.

"Don't be. You just met us right now and knowing at least our names is big thing" finally I spoke.

"We have 5 minutes before we have to be in meeting room" Tall boy reminded as he looked at his watch. "Oh and by the way, I am Phillip but everyone calls me Phil. And I actually like being called Phil. I get called Phillip when someone is angry at me or something" Phil introduced himself.

We smiled and I was about to open my mouth to say something but was interrupted by brown eyed boy running at Phil obviously out of breath. He clearly wasn't into physical activities.

He ran right next to Phil and raised finger to tell him to wait. He was out of breath. Panting. after 20 seconds or so he steadied his breathing and noticed that we were still standing here too. He quickly straightened his back, tidied wrinkles on his shirt and fixed his fringe.

"Oh hello there ladies" he smirked. I couldn't help but laugh at him. Everyone was looking at him I felt awkward but soon everyone Leah and Phil started laughing too followed by brown eyed boy.

When laughing calmed down boy continued to talk. "I was looking everywhere for you, Phil! You told me that you are going to have phone call and be back. But when I found you you were flirting with these two girls. WITHOUT ME" He laughed.

"Well after I finished my call they asked me how to go to meeting and turns out they are going to Jefferson's meeting too. They are new ones here, remember we talked about them" Phil explained.

Boy looked at us and introduced himself. "Oh hello then. My name is Dan. I'm like best friend with Phil."

"Umm, my name is Leah" Leah smiled.

"And I am Max, we are real close best friends with Leah too" I one arm hugged Leah.

"Nice to meet you" Dan clapped and rubbed his hands together.

"I'd like to talk with you two more but we have to go to the meeting room. Mr. Jefferson doesn't like being late." Phil laughed as he reminded us.

"Okay, let's go then! Show us the way" I laughed lightly and wondered where did this confidence came from.

We followed Dan and Phil into the meeting room where almost everyone was waiting Mr. Jefferson. Thank god we weren't late. As I at done on my chair next to Leah and Dan Mr. Jefferson walked into the room and started meeting.

He introduced himself and us to other workers and started talking about work, new ideas and plans.
