I did it!

I did my interview.

Omg

Omg

I can't breathe.

I quickly walk out of the building and into the cool air. The air fills my lungs and I sigh.

I did it.

Austin was right. It was all about me: who I am, where I'm from....

I smile. I know I passed.

Austin had the receptionist call his office when Mr. Bowman was ready for me. She called at exactly 1:45 and told me to head to the dining area. I asked Austin to walk me there and he agreed to. He stopped outside the dining area and gave me some key things to keep in mind like my tone, my attitude, my speech....

I told him I owe him one and he waved it off.

"Now go and show them who you are," he had said to me. "I'm looking forward to working side by side with you."

I blush at the last part.

Me and Austin working side by side.

I can picture it all. Me and Austin fighting crime with business. Villains angry as their businesses fail and we collect them all. Charles-

Charles.

No. I can't think about Austin like this. Charles and I should be the ones working together. He loves me and I love him.

Love and Business

Oh... and law.

I can't think about Austin like this. We are just friends and that's the way it's going to be as long as me and Charles are together. Thinking about another guy is like cheating and I feel guilty.

I would never cheat on Charles. Even if I did, I'm pretty sure he would find out.

Cuz I would be too obvious and he would see right through me. I can already imagine my baby's face.

He would be hurt, angry.....

I cant do that to him. And I won't.
I pull off in my car; Austins phone number burning a hole in my hand.
