chapter 15

Connor's POV

"And this is where your desk is." The man showing me around said, gesturing to a small desk surrounded by partitions. I nodded as he explained he would be back in an hour to check up on me. Sitting down I logged into the computer with the password I had been given and began countless hours worth of paper work. The job was at a newspaper company, all my job consisted of checking the website was working correctly and filling out paper work, boring. I had told Troye I was going into town to find a memory card for my laptop, I hated lying to him so much, but as I said, it was necessary. It made me feel so guilty to lie, I had hardly slept the night before. After hours of rolling over, shifting positions every two seconds, I given up and went into the living room to scroll mindlessly through Tumblr for hours. And I would be lying if I said I wasn't completely exhausted. I was reminded of this when I began yawning and trying my hardest not to let my eyes close. Suddenly my phone vibrated in my pocket, snapping me out of my sleepy trance. I pulled it out of my pocket and read the text on screen.
From: Troye <3 :   Hey bby, I miss you lots! That is all. Byee x I blushed at the cute message, how did I get so lucky?
To: Troye: Aww I miss you too! I'll see you later xx I smiled to myself as I pressed send and set it down on the desk next to me.

The day went very slowly, by the end I was trying my hardest not to bang my head against the desk. When it was finally the end of the day I grabbed my coat and walked hurriedly out of the building. The bitter air made me shiver, so putting my hands in my pockets I walked as fast as I could down the streets. Why didn't I just drive? I thought to myself. A car beeping snapped me out of the thoughts in my mind. Thinking it was nothing to do with me I continued walking, but as I did, a car pulled up next to me. I immediately recognised it and smiled widely. I walked over to it and opened the door.
"Hey! What are you doing here?" I giggled as I got in the car.
"Thought i'd be a good boyfriend and pick you up." Troye smiled as he pulled back into the road.
"Aww you're too good to me." I chuckle, leaning over and pecking his cheek.
"Did you get what you needed from town?" He asked. I had almost forgotten what I had told him I was doing today, so I stumbled over my words a little.
"Oh um, yeah." I smiled, looking out of the window to hide my worried face.
"Good. Oh aaannnndddd guess who made a reservation at the restaurant down the road from us for tonight?" He said "mysteriously." I turned in my seat, looking at him with a shocked face.
"You didn't!" I said excitedly.
"I did."  He chuckled at my excitement. But soon my happiness was replaced with concern.
"Can-can we afford that right now, all things considered." I asked looking at my hands placed on my lap. He leant over and took one of them, squeezing it slightly.
"You let me worry about that." He winked as he put his hand back on the steering wheel.
