I’m just trying to find a reason not to go out every evening

I need someone that’ll help me think of someone besides myself

I need someone I leave through the front door with

‘Cause we don’t wanna hide no more

‘Cause she not shy no more

Neither one of us wanna play the side no more

No, I’m not alone

Even though nothing was the same

Let me get your ass alone

Let me make you say my name

Say my name

I could hear Conor singing from where I was sitting, outside the office. He had such an amazing voice. I got and poked my head around the side to see. I recongnized the song from Drake so he must be doing a cover. I watched him as he sang, and I fell deeper with every word. He looked up at me as he sang

No, I’m not alone

Even though nothing was the same

Let me get your ass alone

Let me make you say my name

I felt the butterflies as he sang those words. I know he didn't mean anything by it because those were the words of the song but I felt myself blushing. I moved away and went back to work while mentally scolding myself. He's Conor Maynard and I'm...well me. I had just turned Eddie down and now I'm getting all these feelings for Conor. 

"Just stop thinking about him Kate" I murmered to myself. 

"Thanx Ben, see you next week" Conor said to my uncle a little while later. "I saw you spying" He said to me, and I felt my cheeks go red.

"You just sounded really great...I just...I" I stuggled to find the words. I didn't really have a reason for spying on Conor as he sang. I just wanted to see him singing.

"Haha well thanx. See you around Kate"

"Bye" I said to him as he walked off. 

.....

"And you're back" I said to Conor as he came up to my desk, with a happy look on his face.

"I said last week I would. Got a lot of work to do" 

"Right right, for all those demanding fans of yours" 

"That's right" He said and winked at me. I said to myself that I should stop thinking about him but I haven't been able to. I don't know what it is but he just  makes me smile without even doing anything. And I barely knew who he was before I moved here and met him. 

"Ben is in a meeting at the moment, so I'm afraid you're going to have to wait" I said to him, while stacking a few papers.

"Ofcourse he is. It's fine, I can wait. How's the job going?" He asked me as he leaned against the desk.

"Good so far. I think I'm getting the hang of things, I haven't messed up yet" I said with a big smile.

"Haha that's good to hear. You're uncle is lucky to have you" I looked down and blushed a little as he said that. "You never know, you might become a great producer like your uncle"

"I don't know. It's never really been something I've thought of doing"

"Take a chance Kate. I did on music and look where it got me. How do you know you won'y love producing music if you've never tried? Just take a chance on everything, it might work out really well" He said to me.

"Haha thanx, I'll keep that in mind. Take a chance on everything though? What if it works out really terribly?"

"Then you learn a lesson. I know it was kind of random advice but hey it's still advice from yours truly" He said and smiled at me and I felt my cheeks go red. I knew he noticed because he smiled even more. He looked at me with those gorgeous blue eyes as he moved closer to me.

"Conor! Sorry to keep you waiting" Conor moved  back as Ben came out. I looked down at continued with my work. "How have you been? How's that girlfriend of yours?" I looked up at Conor as Ben said that, and I felt my heart break a little. Conor looked at me and I looked down. 

"Uhm... she's... good Ben, thanx" They went inside the studio room. I felt hurt but then I mentally slapped myself. He wasn't even mine. I had no right to feel hurt or sad. I probably imagined any conncection that we had. He wasn't mine and he would never be. He was just being nice.

"Hey Kate, are you ok? You look a little pale" Eddie said to me as came to drop off a few papers.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine" I said to him

"Want to go and get something to eat?" Eddie had asked me that same question everyday this past week and everytime I've made up some excuse or ignored the question completely. How many times could a guy take rejection?

Take a chance on everything...

I remembered what Conor told me.

"Sure" I deserved to be happy, to have someone to care for me and I knew Eddie would do that. Or maybe I just said yes to Eddie because I was hurt about Conor even though I had no reason to be. 

"Really?" He said with a bit of surprise.

"Yes, I could eat. And I could eat with you" I said as I smiled at him.

"Great, we'll go when you finish work" He said and then walked off with a huge grin on his face. 

....

"Let's go" Eddie said, exactly on time.

"Don't be too happy, it's just something to eat" I said to him as I gathered my things.

"I know. But's something to eat with you" He said and I blushed a little. We linked arms and he smiled at me.

"See you again soon, Conor" My uncle said from inside the studio as Conor came out. He saw my arm linked with Eddie's and his face went straight.

"Bye Ben" He waved goodbye to my uncle. "Kate" And nodded to me as he walked past. 

"Come on, I'm starving" Eddie said as he led me away.

I don't know if I should be going out with Eddie, but I am. Maybe taking a chance on him won't be so bad, like Conor said, if I never take the chance I'll never know. I can't shut people out forever. Conor looked almost jealous as he saw mine and Eddie's arms linked but just as I have no right about Conor having a girlfriend, he didn't have a right to be jealous. There's nothing between us, right?
