Like A Boss

"Thanks again everybody so much for watching, and as always, I will see you...in the next video! Buh bye!"

After saying that I turned off the camera and sat back in my chair. I had just got done recording a series of videos. Now I had to edit them. I'll do that later. I thought to myself. I opened up Skype and looked at Jack's icon and saw he was online. Should I call him? Is he up? I factored the time difference and it was about 7 p.m. his time. He should be up. I clicked the call button and listened to the ring as I waited for him to answer.

"Hey, Mark"

"Hey Jack, how are you?"

I found myself just staring into his eyes when his video loaded. He had pretty bluish-grey eyes. I blushed as I realized what I was doing. Sure he knew I liked him as more than a friend but he had said that the feeling wasn't mutual. Which is fine.

"Mark? Were you even listening?"

I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard him say my name. I sighed. Might as well answer truthfully.

"No, I wasn't. Sorry man"

"It's fine. I'll just ask again. Would you be ok with me coming to stay with you for a bit? I have an event in L.A. and you're like the only person I know in L.A."

"Of course you can stay with me"

I had the biggest smile on my face as I said this. Then I realized it would be that much harder to control my feelings if he was in the same place as me. It'll be fine I can control myself.

"How long you gonna be here?"

"A week, two at the most"

"Alright, I'll get the guest bedroom set up"

He chuckled which caused a small smile to form on his face. I loved the way his face lit up every time he smiled. Even if it was the smallest smile.

"Don't go to too much trouble ok?"

"I won't"

"Also, about recording..."

"Jack, I'm a YouTuber as well"

"Yea, but that's part of the issue, will my recording interfere with yours? I can always take a break from recording for a few days. The viewers will understand"

"Jack, you are not gonna leave them for two weeks. You can record and it will not interfere with mine"

"Alright, if you say so"

He smiled. I loved his smile, and his eyes, and his personality. I loved everything about him. I loved him. I knew I loved him, but I also knew that it would never be returned. I looked at him then.

"So, when you planning on getting here?"

"My flight leaves in about an hour, so I should be there some time tomorrow"

I chuckled a little. Short notice much? It'll be fine I'll just make sure the guest bedroom is ready tonight. We talked for a little longer then he said he needed to get ready to catch his flight. We said our good-byes then got off of Skype.

I couldn't stop smiling as I went into the kitchen to fix a sandwich. Jack was coming here! Now it would be a challenge to control my feelings, but I could handle it. I sat on the couch and turned the TV on. I started watching some random show that was on.

I was sitting on the couch watching a movie, it was about 8:30 p.m., I got a text from Jack.
