chapter twenty-eight

Author's note
Hey so, I was reading the comments on last chapter and I realized a lot of you guys thought you worked at the offices, I can see how that was greatly implied, I must have failed to mention recently that still you are still unemployed. The reason you were at the offices yesterday was because you were starting your YouTube channel and Max thought it would be a good head start if your first ever vlog was touring the offices, you already knew everyone from that party at Max's house, and you only did the challenge video because Adam asked you to since Barney was sick, Okkkk sorry for the misunderstanding, without further ado, here's the story you've been waiting for xD

Sky media offices
yn
three O'clock, Monday December Twenty-eight, twenty-sixteen.

"there's been a lot of talk about you around the offices, (y/n), You know that?" He asked, he was sitting in a swively chair directly in front of me, elbows leaning on his knees, hands entwined together hiding and casting eerie shadows on his face.

"Has there?" I asked, a little unsure and a little afraid of what he was going to say and a little of a lot of things. I was fighting the anxiety, telling myself everything was fine, and gulped down some air.

"Mhm," He replied nodding, "A lot of people know your name around here, some have even talked to me about you."

I nodded my head slowly signifying for him to continue.

"And what just happened out there," He thumbed in the direction of the door, "It confirmed what I was thinking."

Everything was running through my head at once and I could hear my heart beating fast in my ears. I was anticipating the blow, waiting for him to tell me I was a distraction to Max, or waiting for him to tell me Max and I were too flirty and it had to stop to further Max's reputation, waiting for him to kick me out, tell me to get lost, to run back to Ihop, to never return. I was waiting for that when he opened his mouth to speak,

"And what I was thinking," He started, leaning his head down onto his hands, "Was that you'd be a great addition to the sky media offices." He smiled,

My brow furrowed and I let out a breath I hadn't remembered taking.

"That- I"

"What do you say?" He asked, his eyes happy, his mouth smiling, it hadn't really been anything like what I was expecting, it was so much better, it left me speechless, almost.

"I- I- yes," I stuttered out finally, he laughed and I joined him in wearily, shaking off the near-death scare I had just had.

"Great, I'll set up your office and show it to you next Monday,"

"Thank you so much!" I sighed of relief and stood up, pulling Adam into a hug and practically bouncing on the balls of my heels with joy and happiness.

"No problem," He said laughing, "There's a staff new years eve party new years eve, here at the offices if you'd like to come?"

"Oh," I said, smiling smugly, "I was already coming to that." I said, biting my lip and looking towards my feet, I glanced back up to see his eyes widening.

"Max was going to bring you as his date?" He asked, excitedly.

"You didn't hear that from me," I said, "Is there anything else you need?"

"No, you can go tell Max now," He replied. I happily skipped out the door and down the hall to Max's office.

+You probably thought this was going to be a time skip but it's actually a change in the POV, I don't have a thing for that so I used this one ok+

Max

Despite the nickel back blaring through my headphones, I heard the door creak open from behind me.

"Ross, don't" I said, unmoving. I kept my eyes locked on the editing screen, hoping if I paid it no attention, he'd turn and leave me unbothered. The footsteps behind me did not cease, I assumed he was vlogging and about to come unplug my computer. Instead of my headphone jack being yanked out of the port, I felt arms thrown over my shoulder, and hugging me from behind. One of the hands was holding a camera, a silver one, one that I had bought. The very same hand had (favourite color xD) Nail polish painted over its fingernails. In the little frame, I saw (y/n)'s face buried into my shoulder, one arm thrown over me, the other vlogging. I saw myself in the camera lens too and reached up to remove my headphones.

"Hey (y/n)!" I said once they were off. All she did in response was give me a quick kiss on the cheek, I felt myself reddening and turned to the camera, "You're okay with that being in your vlog?"

"I dunno, you're the editor!" She said happily, burrowing her face into my neck, I smiled to myself.

"Are you just being like this because you lost the challenge today?" I asked, laughing a little bit.

"No," She said, pulling away and standing up straight, I spun in my chair to look at her, the camera was pointed at me. "But I've got some news that's going to make you glad, max." She said. My face fell instantly into my famous, angry, Mad-Max stance, but it was short lived as I caved.

"What's the news?" I asked,

"Adam hired me!" She practically squealed. My eyes lit up with something akin to the happiest I'd been all day, I was so excited for her to work with me, for her to be a YouTuber, for her and I to record together, for her and I to do challenges and to watch her fail at GTA and to just inspire her to do something I love,

I hoped she loved it too, because I loved her.

I mean, I guess that wasn't something I would have told anyone, not even her. (y/n) and I weren't even dating but I found myself wanting her to be happy and I found myself wanting to be with her and protect her and I assumed that was what love is, I never really knew.

I felt my face turn red as those thoughts rushed through my mind and I pushed them down, it dawned on me I had never answered her. I stood up just as she put her camera down on my desk, and I walked to her. I placed one hand on her hip and the other on her cheek and pressed my lips to hers. Ours moved in sync and after seconds or minutes or hours I pulled away, our lips lingering a second longer than they probably should have. kissing her quickly on her forehead, I said.

"I'll edit that out too," I looked down at her face which was red, her eyes were darting all over the place and she was biting her lip, "What?" I asked,

"You- you just make me so nervous," She said, giggling a little bit. I was about to step back to her and pull her in once more when I heard a tap from the window, my head snapped in the direction to see Adam,

Adam and his vlogging camera,

Adam winking,

Adam turning and running.

"Can you edit THAT out?" she asked, smiling.
