Working In the Offices (House_Owner X Reader)

Chapter 2

We input our phone numbers into each other's phone, both commenting on each others phone cases. I have kawaii marshmallows with adorable faces while Ross has the Legend Of Zelda Triforce on his.

"Where are you living right now?" Ross inquires, taking a sip of his mountain dew.

"Umm.. Well. That's a little complicated..." I trail off.

"How so?"

"I don't have a home."

"You're homeless?"

"NO NO NO NO NO."

"Then what?..."

"I live in my car..."

"Really?"

"Yep..."

"You know, me and Max have some room for a new roommate if you would like..." Ross trails off, playing with the sticker on the mountain dew bottle.

"I couldn't..." I disagree.

"And I couldn't allow a poor girl to live in her car. I insist." He tells me with a straight face, looking me dead in my eyes.

"You just met me! I could creep up in your room while you sleep, stab you and steal all your stuff."

"True... But, you know Barney and I trust the people Barney trusts."

"You're insane! I'll find a cheap hotel or something..." Even though I have no money to buy it with. My face then falters after thinking about that.

"I want to help you out and be a good citizen."

"Pffft." I roll my eyes and look down at my hands that are simultaneously playing with the zip on my coat jacket.

"Come on, it'll be fine! I'm totally happy with it and I'm sure Max will be too." Ross shrugs, uncertainty lining his words.

"You're being so nice... God. I've just met you." Ross then takes my hands in his over the table.

"And this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe." Is all he says, he then removes his hands and smiles a goofy smile.

O..Kay then?

Now, I know I shouldn't just agree to live with some random man, but I trust Barney so I trust Barney's friends. I may also have taken a liking to this man, Ross.

"(YOUR NAME CAPITALIZED)!" Adam shouts as he walks over with Barney and Max.

"Yes..." I take a sip of coke, looking around to make sure no one heard and is now staring at us.

"Would you like to come work at the offices with us? We have a spare room since someone left and we think you'd be great!" Adam gleams. I look at Max, Barney and Ross. They all smile at me.

I cover my face as I feel tears coming, I soon feel arms and bodies surrounding me.

"Thank you guys so much." I cry into Ross' shoulder.

"Oh yeah, Max, we have a new roommate." Ross says, I feel his voice muffled as my head lays on his chest. Butterflies fill my stomach as I listen to the beating on his heart, I feel like I could stay there forever.

What the hell... Why did I think that, that is so strange to think, oh my god.

"Maybe they will keep their stuff tidy." Max retorts.

"Hey, I have better things to do." Ross argues against him.

"Sure, sure." Max sighs and sits down.
