Three's A Crowd

Secret Admirer

Elliott's POV

It's an agreed fact in the click house that Lannan is a ridiculously lucky guy. He has the most gorgeous girlfriend and not only that, she's smart, painfully funny, immensely talented, deeply kind and above all else fiercely loyal, especially to Lannan.

Over the last month that we've been in the house I've fallen head over heels for her, it hurts so much and it's hard to admit even to myself. I know I shouldn't have but it's impossible not to, the way she makes everyone feel important, the time and care she takes to make sure that you're okay, she'd never put herself before anyone else. All of it combined made it so easy to fall for her. I don't understand how she doesn't have crowds of people falling at her feet just to have a chance.

So its become a guilty pleasure of mine to stop by the editing room to watch (y/n) at work. I know it only makes things worse but she's like a drug, and I'm an addict.

I'm so entranced watching her that I don't hear the footsteps approaching me.

"Aight Elliott?" Lannan's voice rings in my ear making me jump a little, "Cracking the whip are we?"

I brush off his comment with a laugh. We stand in silence for a moment before I dare to speak what's on my mind, "You're a lucky guy Lannan. Look at her in there," I say nodding towards (y/n).

We both watch as she stands between our other editors, pointing at the screens in front of her, you can see them clearly following her instructions. The power, control, and leadership she radiates is mesmerising. And to top it all off she does it with the most beautiful smile you've ever seen and a sparkle in her eye that could convince you to do anything she asked.

"Yeah I really am," Lannan replies, breaking me out of my trance, how long he took to respond I don't even know, it could have been hours.
