Carter

I walked put of Harry's office still grinning like an idiot. It was funny how he got a boner so quickly. I was still confused, though. What did I do to make him get one? How would this affect our work relationship?

"Miss Jay?" I heard an unfamiliar voice say behind me.

I turned around to see an attractive man with hazel- brown eyes and nice pink lips. He was barely taller than me, maybe by about 3 inches. His brown hair was brushed back and had the slightest hint of gel and hairspray. His suit was a little big on him, but he was able to pull it off perfectly. He was cute, really cute.

"Why yes I am. I'm guessing you're Aiden?" I bat my eyelashes, trying to flirt.

He laughed. "Yes I am. We talked on the phone on Friday. I'm Mr. Styles' personal assistant. I heard some of the interview, because it sounded a little loud. How did it go?"

I smiled at him. "I got the job and start tomorrow."

"Oh my god that's soooo amazing! Like, thank you so much I had to play the PA and secretary at the same time. It was a tragedy." He sighed dramtically and fanned his face with his hand. I forced a laugh even though I was secretly frowning at his reaction. Could he be....?

"So, what do you think of Mr. Styles? Isn't he just so cute?" I decided to test my theory.

"Well, duh. But he's not really my type. He's mean and strict. I want a guy who will treat me like royalty and be my teddy bear." Aiden shrugged.

I guess I was right. Damn, why are the cute ones always either gay or douchebags? Not that I'm judging him or care, because that's his choice.

"But you know who he'd be perfect with?" Aiden asked.

"Who?"

"You, honey. Duh!" He laughed, but this time I didn't join in.

"What? Me? Why the fuck would you say that?" I was blushing, I just knew it. I hate Harry. He's an over confident, self absorbed, rude, hurtful bastard. Me and him would never ever end up together.

"You two are so similar. I can tell already, because he'd respond exactly how you did." Aiden responded.

I just couldn't believe him. We were too different. He was like the night and I was day. He was the white and I was black. He was up and I was down. I'm like seconds and he could be hours. And most of all, when I'm right he's wrong. That would never work out and I'm not even going to try.

"Look, Aiden. You're cool and all, but I think you got me all wrong. I hate Mr. Styles. I met him on Friday before I called you, and he's a total prick."

Auden gave me a confused look. "Then why did you say he was cute?"

"I-" I could feel my face flushing from embarrassment. I actually feel a little bad for trying to call him out on his sexuality.

"I was trying to lowkey find out if you were homosexual." I looked down at the ground, my face burning.

Aiden started laughing. I looked up to see him grinning like an idiot.

"I'm actually really impressed. Most people either ask me outright or say it bluntly. Thanks for being so considerate of my feelings. You're a cool person yourself. And just to let you know, you have a friend here at Styles' Inc."

I smiled at him, my shoulders sagging in relief. "Thank you so much, Aiden. And I'm sorry for that. It was rude of me."

He shrugged. "It's no problem."

I nodded, still smiling. Just then, his phone buzzed. He looked at it and sighed.

"Yes, Mr. Styles?" He asked into his Bluetooth. Huh, I hadn't even noticed he was wearing one.

"I'm sorry, sir, I was talking to your new secretary."

He winced as I heard the faint sound of Harry yelling at him.

"Yes sir. I'm on my way."

After the call ended, he sighed.

"I'm so sorry, Carter. I have to go. Mr. Styles has a meeting I have to confirm in 10 minutes and also needs his morning coffee. I can't wait for you to start so you can do that, ugh."

I laughed. "Schedule his meetings? Cake."

He frowned. "No, get his coffee."

I stared at him.

Aiden started to laugh. "I'll see you later, Carter."

He started to walk away. I smiled and said bye.

"Wait! You were joking right?" I called after him.

Aiden just kept walking towards where I guess the kitchen was and waved.

I sighed and chuckled quietly to myself as I walked outside. The cool morning breeze was calming, and I decided to go get a small snack from Starbucks.

When I got there, instead of the angry worker I saw on Friday, I saw a cute-looking guy with his back turned to me. He was cleaning a coffee maker when I walked up to the counter.

"Excuse me, can I have a venti Vanilla Bean Frappuccino with white mocha, java chips, and whip cream with mocha drizzled on top? I'd also like to have-"

The guy turned around. He looked about my age, and had dark brown hair and gorgeous blue green eyes. Yeah, I was right, he was definitely cute. And also familiar...

The guy looked at me with wide eyes. "Carter Jay? Is that really you?"

His adorable British accent made me officially remember who he was. All the memories of college came flooding back to me.

"Louis?" I gasped.
