There is no better way of getting your own back on former friends than writing the biography of there dreams. You see myself and my friend at the time Kenzie are biographer's we write the lives of important people into books,for the masses to read. And for a long time me and Kenzie where friends but also had a bit of a rivalry going,we wanted to see who could write the biography of the most important person. Until Kenzie betrayed me to get a job writing about the former mayor. Yet I had the last laugh as I am now currently working on writing the lifes work of one Thaddeus Valentine,one of the most famous men in London today.

Of course when Kenzie found out,she was beyond furious but I couldn't care less,I was hired personally by Mr Valentine himself. And now here I am,two years into writing the biography of Mr Valentine. I often accompany him on his travels around London and further away,he says it's to help give insight into his life. When I took the job I had only expected to be working on the book for 6 months,but apparently there is more Mr Valentine would like documented than I first thought. Which I don't really mind as I don't have any other books lined up after this one,but that's not my problem.

My problem is Thaddeus Valentine himself,I hadn't expected to fall in love with him. And the longer we spend together, sometimes alone I find myself thinking up things that I know won't come to pass between us. That's why I'm trying to get this book done quickly,so I don't do something stupid and ruin everything. But any time I try to bring this adventure to an end ,it seems to get extended somehow.
"Are you in a hurry to be rid of me Y/n?" Valentine would always says this anytime I suggested I had enough information to do the book.
"Yes I want to be rid of you ,you obnoxious handsome man. Before I tell you how much I love you" I would say in my head.

"No I'm not trying to be rid of you Mr Valentine,I was just wondering why a six month job has taken two years?" I would tell him. He would then smile at me and say
"I just want to make sure you make a great book for me,that's all" and then we would be off again someone place else he would need to be. Currently though we are in London,as Mr Valentine is needed here
"Why did you hire me to write your biography?" I asked him,as we sat in his office
"Why not" he said not looking at me
"Because there are far more famous and more experienced people out there than me to do this book justice" I said.

Valentine looked at me this time,his blue eyes boring right into me
"Because Y/n anyone else would no doubt,not want to write the book they way I want it to be done" Valentine said" I mean you have spent the last two years with me,that shows dedication even if you keep trying to run off lately"
"I'm not trying to run off,I was just thinking that I had enough information to write this book perfectly" I told him. Valentine sat back in his chair and watched me
"Alright we will finish off here and then you can finally be rid of me" Valentine said.

"I don't want to be rid of you Mr Valentine,I just can't...." I began to say but closed my mouth before I said anything more
"Can't what?" Valentine asked curiously
"Nothing, forget I said anything " I said hurriedly looking away from him
"You haven't been yourself in sometime Y/n,are you alright?" Valentine asked me, sitting forward again
"I'm fine...just tired " I lied,I hated lying to him but it is for the best. I could feel his eyes on me again
"Perhaps you should take a break for the rest of the day" Valentine said,I said nothing but got up and left the room. Once the door is closed behind me I lent back on it
"Why must I be in love with you..."
