Chapter Five

Hi guys! I cannot believe how many reads this story is getting! I'm sorry it's been awhile since my last update, I've been super busy with school and my ballet classes. Anyways please leave any comments you like and maybe vote on the chapter? Hope you enjoy!

Shayne's POV
I fall out of bed in the morning at my alarm and start a hot shower. I don't know if I have the strength to go to work today.
I have to act like everything is fine when all I want is to kiss Courtney and hold her.
My phone rings and I pick it up quickly.
"Hello?"
"Hey Shayne, confirmation of your plane ticket to Sacramento for filming next week has been emailed to you." Anthony's voice is loud, as per usual.
"Thanks, I'll see you at the office." I hang up and finish getting dressed.
The drive is boring, the only sound being traffic and the quiet radio playing top 40 hits.
As soon as the doors to the elevator are nearly closed, someone sticks their hand in and jumps next to me.
Courtney is flustered, coffee cup and purse in hand. Her hair is a mess and she has some mascara pooling under her eyes.
I keep quiet, holding my hands together and flexing to keep myself from grabbing her.
"Hi Shayne." Courtney's voice is barely audible and the loud ding of the elevator keeps me from responding.
She walks the opposite way as me and I find myself repeating what I should have said.
What happened last night? Did you break up with him? Can I kiss you? Do you like me?
I hate the fact that I feel as if I'm back in high school, pining for someone who might not even like me.
At the end of an average day full of writing and editing sketches and BTS videos, I just wanted to eat dinner and go to bed.
Courtney and I haven't spoken all day, I'm almost grateful for the mutual silence.
I look up from my desk, ready to leave, when I spot blonde hair peeking out from just outside the door.
I get up just as Courtney walks in, I'm assuming she's getting ready to leave too.
"Hi."
I breathe out, "Hi."
Courtney approaches me slowly, coming very close to me. She leans against the wall and looks down.
Damn she looks good. I glance at her neck and see a faint mark, one I'm hoping I left yesterday.
I'm terrified for what she is going to say next.

Courtney's POV
Today wasn't the best. I woke up late and had such a weird moment with Shayne, which ended up screwing up my whole day.
I couldn't help but be attracted to him. Who wouldn't be?
He's smart, kind, strong, and handsome as hell. I can't resist.
It doesn't make sense that I haven't jumped on him now that I'm single.
It still feels wrong for some reason. Like I haven't been fair to Shayne, wanting him like this.
And as soon as I run into him in the office, my knees go weak.
It's so cheesy but true.
Exchanging quiet hellos only makes this worse.
"Courtney, what is going on?" Shayne asks softly. He shakes his head and throws up his hands.
"Wait, let me go first. You kissed me. You came onto me. What was I supposed to do?" He sounds exhausted.
"Shayne I'm not mad." I whisper.
Tears well up in my eyes upon seeing his face. Shayne comes closer, his hand cups my face.
It feels like there's a magnet pulling me to him. I grab him by his jacket and pull him to me. Our lips connect and I almost fall down again.
His strong arms catch me and hold me tight, hands resting on my lower back.
I kiss him like my life depends on it.
Footsteps echo though the hallway and we leap backwards, getting as far away from one another as possible.
Joe comes in to get some paperwork and I am praying he doesn't notice anything suspicious.
Shayne smiles at me and winks, making me wish I was in his arms again.
I still don't really know what this means for us.

Hope y'all enjoy! Thanks again for reading and I will hopefully have another chapter up soon. Please leave comments and maybe vote on my chapters. Thanks again!
