Beauty and the beast (Will Ramos)

Gabriella POV

It was a Friday night again and Emily was desperatly trying to get me to go out with her. "Please come to the club with me! Everybody esle is doing something fun and you're just sitting at home doing nothing!" she whined once again and I could only roll my eyes at her antics. She came over unannounced in full glam and was standing in the middle of my living room almost begging me to get ready.

"Emily I am doing something. I'm rewatching my favourite movies." Why was it so hard for her to see that I just wanted a nice and cozy evening? "Take off your shoes and makeup and join me if you want to hang out." She let out a sigh and trotted off into the hall. About 20 minutes later she came back without her high heels and makeup on but wearing some if my sweatpants instead.

She plonked down on the couch beside me and grabbed some sweets that were on the table. "See isn't this nice for once? Just us, no blaring music, you won't have a headache the next morning and most importantly I don't have to watch over you all the time." I chuckled as she rolled her eyes but I could see a faint smile on her face.

Sometimes it really surprised me that we were best friends since we were so different. She was a social butterfly and enjoyed going out and meeting new people and while I wished I could be like that sometimes I just loved beeing at home alone or with people I know. I didn't need the alcohol or the insanely loud and sexual music to have fun.

"So when are you starting this music video thing again? Monday?" she asked while chewing on some gummis. "Yeah I'm really excited!" I truly was, ever since that meeting I could feel my nerves become more and more every day.

"Show me that band, is there at least a cute guy in there?" she chuckled and all of a sudden we scooted together like teenage girls and not like the 25 year old women that we were. "Honestly the lead singer Will is like a dream and he's so nice." I just couldn't help but swoon over this man once again. Honestly what was happening to me?

"Wow show me girl! I've never heard you talk like that about a guy. I was starting to think you're a lesbian, which is fine but I would've been pissed that you didn't tell me." Emily laughed and I quickly looked up pictures of the band and Will.

"Here that's Will. His hair looks even better in person and those eyes are so dark and deep, when we had the meeting I had to basically force myself to look away." now it was my turn to laugh and I could feel a blush creeping up my face. Usually Emily was the one swooning over a guy, not me.

"Wow he is really hot! Girl if you don't make a move on him I will." of course I knew Emily was joking, she'd never go after someone I liked, but it still sent a little pang of jealusy through me. I quickly shook it off tho. Me and him were just coworkers for now and besides he probably doesn't even see me like that.

"Honestly I doubt he'd go for someone like me. He is a Rockstar after all." I sighed and pushed the little sadness I was feeling away. I always develope crushes on guys that are out of my leauge which is why I've been single for so long.

"Oh please! Sure he can have every girl he wants but why wouldn't he want a hot model then?" Emily was trying to cheer me up but failing none the less. I don't want to be seen as the hot model in my relationship! I'm more than just my job and my looks.

"Anyways for now I have to keep things professional, we're working together after all." at this point I just wanted to change the subject.
"How're things with this Matt guy? Are you still dating?" I knew Emily loved to talk about her boys and I was trying to switch the attention from me to her.

"Oh god don't get me started on that asshole! He completely ghosted me after that night where we went out together. But who cares I met someone new anyways." she took a sip of her soda and flicked her blonde hair over her shoulder. Sometimes I really wondered how she does it. She truly can get any guy she wants, play them like a toy and they just let it happen.
