part six ＊*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚

Ever since that one night a month ago we had spend at Chris' office, him and I started talking like a lot. We text everyday and constantly and even facetimed a few times late at night. Talked till one of us fell asleep. We talked about sooo many things and I got to know him a lot better. We held deep conversations about future and our plans and our ambitions. He told me how excited but also how anxious he was about his new fresh love drop. I told him about my fears for the future and my worries because of uni.

But the flirtatious energy from a month ago was kind of gone. Or at least a lot less obvious and hard to read. The conversations we have now are really honest and nice but more in a friendly way rather than romantic. At least that what he comes across to me. Or maybe I just think about it too much and it isn't that deep.

The more time passes the more I think i interpreted everything that he did at the office wrong. I'm starting to doubt that everything was like I remember it in my head: He didn't mean it flirty. He just meant it as a joke. He did it because he likes me as a friend. He was just trying to make the situation less awkward because we didn't really know each other that well. My head hurts overthinking about this. I just want clarity.

We always talk about meeting up again sometime but until now it didn't work. He is a busy guy. He always has stuff to do. Places to be. Meetings to attend. The past week he was always in between la and New York because he's opening up a new fresh love store there. Of course I also had things to do but to be honest I would have used any excuse to get out of it just to see him again. I just want to see how he will interact with me. Because of this I want to see him again even more.

I am drifting away in my thought and suddenly hear my phone ring.

Fuck he's calling.

I quickly sit up on my bed, brush my hands through my hair to lay it in place and take the call. It takes a second and then his face appears on my phone. "Hello hello" I say. "y/n! you were right!" He's outside. On the go as always when he calls me during the day. "what? I mean ...of course i'm right! i told you so! ...what was it again?", "fresh love. The drop release. The giveaway on ig was such a good idea it worked out so good.", "Ahh yess i'm happy that it did" One time we facetimed and I made the suggestion to get more people to know fresh love by doing a giveaway.  I was actually surprised when i saw the instapost with the giveaway on the new day. I was just telling him late at night half asleep. I thought he didn't even listen because it seemed like he was half asleep.

"I should really hire you as a marketing manager or something". I laugh. "y/n i've thought about something. Do you have any plans next weekend?" Wait. Is he asking me out on a date? "No I do not. I'm free what's up?", "i wanted to thank you for your support these past weeks. Since you helped me so much, I wanted to invite you to come to the release party of the new collection and opening in new york" So no date. I don't know if i really helped THAT much. I mean the giveaway was something. But that's about it. But i guess maybe he means just being there for him to talk in general? As a friend? And he wants me there as a friend? But who would invite a random new girl that they have only really known for a month to their brands event in another city? You wouldn't want a random girl at your event, would you? I mean he's got to be interested in me or not?

"What? Really? Chris, I feel honored. But that wasn't a big deal. I'm happy to help you"
"It was. So are you coming?", "yes sure", "okay then I will take care of your flight and hotel and send you all the information later", he says smiling. "Noo you don't need to do that. It's no problem i can pay for it myself"
"No really y/n. I insist. This means a lot to me so i'm glad you're coming", "okay..." I say agreed. "so then see you on Friday!", "Till Friday!" I answer back and hang up.
