Zak's P.O.V.

I woke up with an overwhelming feeling of happiness. Recalling what had happened yesterday evening made the grin on my face widen and my insides to melt. I could still remember the sincerity in Oliver’s voice when he apologized, the genuine smile on his face that made my heart beat faster and those cute dimples too. I was a sucker for dimples, especially on a really hot guy. And they didn't come much hotter than on Olly.

Now, I had said ‘hot guy’ living next door and the icing on the cake was that he was gay too! The only problem was that I didn't know if he liked me the way I liked him. I wanted to try to find out but I had no clue how to go about doing that and even if I did find out that he liked me, I would be too scared to act on it. I just really wished I had more confidence in myself. I would have had a boyfriend a long time ago if I had ever been brave enough to act on my feelings.

I pushed the negative, self-defeating thoughts away because I knew that if I let myself dwell on them, I would fall into one of my phases of depression again. I was just really glad that Oliver and I were on good terms now. I guess I just had to wait to see what the future held for the both of us. 

With that thought in mind, I enjoyed the music playing on my radio as I drove to work, smiling all the way. I was not going to let anything spoil my mood today, not even Grumpy Steve. Yes, that's what I decided to call him from now on. Steam was going to erupt from his ears when he heard his new nickname. The thought made me giddy.

I arrived early so there wouldn't be any bitching from Logan. I entered the building and headed straight for the elevator. “Morning Grumpy Steve.”, I greeted as he munched hungrily on a sandwich.

He choked on hearing that and I snickered. As the elevator door closed, I heard him spew a string of curse words at me. ‘Yup, today is off to a good start.’

I headed towards Logan's office, immediately, when I reached the top floor. I opened his door to see him on his computer.

“Morning Logan.”, I greeted cheerily, dropping his coffee on his desk and turning around to leave.

“Hmm, someone's in an unusually cheery mood this morning.”, he mumbled.

“Huh?”.

“You never greet me aloud when you come to work, especially on Mondays. You always greet me as if I'm the devil. Hmm, I wonder why?”, he said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes. “And you ask me why I greet you that way. Well, I just seem to be happy this morning so let it stay that way.”, I narrowed my eyes at him.

“Pfft. Nobody just wakes up and decides to be happy the rest of the day, especially not you. Something happened that put you in this mood. What is it?”, he smirked while lacing his fingers together on his desk.

“You're delusional.”, I scoffed before turning around to exit his office.

“Wait, come back!”, he yelled as I shut his door.

I just smiled to myself and arranged my desk, before sitting down. As I booted up my computer, his door banged open. “Finally, something interesting is happening in your life and you don't wanna tell me? That's cold bro.”, he walked up to my desk dramatically, with his hands on his waist. “Now tell big brother Logan what's got you in this joyful mood, this sad and dull morning. Is it a guy?”, he asked as he set his elbow on my desk and rested his chin on it, giving me a really creepy smile.
