The Next Chapter

07. A Lunch

James

He walked out of my office after I called him. I told him how I felt. It was the first time in years I've felt such compassion for someone it terrified me. I had this need of getting close with him but I didn't want to take things too fast as I didn't want to lose him. His eyes were such a captivating things to look at. When he would speak, all that's in my
mind are his vulnerable lips and how they would feel on mine. What the fuck is up with him, why him? Years and years and years of no feelings for a man other than sex, this was my first acquaintance with "love", how naïve of me. Just as he reached the door, my feet stood up and my mouth called his name. "Warren!"

He turned around in shock and fear. Shit, did I terrify him?

"Yesss sssur?" He stutters. Yup, I scared the living shit out of him.

"Uhm, would you care to spend lunch with me at the café two blocks down? Just a little welcoming lunch and introduction to the company." I asked him with a smile.

"Sure?" He smiles unsurely.

"It's a date, you may go." I told him and his eyes widened. Walking out, he was stiff but I felt so happy and excited. Lunch time, please come the fuck faster.

Warren

SHIT. I just agreed to go on a date with my boss, does that count as cheating on Bryan? Pretty sure no right? I mean if it's just food on the table between two people, that doesn't necessarily account as "cheating". It's just food, just food.

I was staring at my word document and I felt my phone buzz in my pocket. I reached for it, a text from Bryan. Surprise, surprise.

I made you lunch, I'll come drop it off at 11:50 aitte? Love you :* - Bryan

Just the motherfucking perfect timing. Damn my life's good. I face palmed myself as I reached for a lie as my reply.

Babe sorry!! Us new writers have a lunch welcome all together. Sorry!! <3 - Warren

Seems legit.

Oh ok, that's fine. Have fun!! :) <3 - Bryan

No it's not fine! It's not even a fucking "welcome party", just a freaking food thing with my boss. Undeniably hot boss. Fufufufufuck.

I snapped out of my daze and continued to work on the song I'm writing for Jen. She said something about loss and how she hates it when people act like she's not there. Her life before she went to Hollywood apparently consisted of her friends leaving her out as they used a stereotype that actor sand actresses downgrades people and her so called "friends" didn't want anything to do with her. She mention a guy in particular too, they met in kindergarten and hurt her most when she was about to leave for Hollywood.

Who would've taught, that we'd end up like this

We were inseparable talking all night long

Now look at where we are,

I don't even know your number.

Do you even remember me?

I'm sorry I was burden

Come back to me,

While I'm still here

Make this moment last,

Before I disappear.

Maybe we can talk these things out,

Just let me know that you're here by my side.

I remember when I first saw you, much younger we are now.

But maybe I should just stop,

Maybe you're better without me.

It's going be a pain,

But if it's better for you

It sure will do

I gotta go now but just

One last time,

Come back to me,

While I'm still here

Make this moment last,

Before I disappear.

A few minutes after working on a part of the song, I heard people walking out already for lunch. I suddenly felt emptiness in my stomach. I stood off my seat and walked to the elevators. The glass doors opened and I was surrounded by other people.

When I walked out of the building, there was hybrid waiting outside. It looked like the hybrid I got Bryan for his birthday but James walked out of it instead. He smirked at me before walking me to shotgun and opening the door for me.

"Thank you," I mumbled unsure.

He closed the door and jogged over to the driver's seat. The smirk was still on his face and his piercing blue eyes look like they undressed me.

"Thank you so much for joining me for lunch by the way, I just needed to talk you." He smiles sincerely.

"Ok," I replied.

When you haven't written for a long ass time you forgot the name of your characters XD
