His Assistant | David Dobrik x Natalie

Chapter 16

WOOOW we hit 1K READS!!!

Thank you so much wow

~~~

To say that kiss was unexpected wouldn't even begin to describe it.

I think we were both shocked, but I'm so glad it happened. So so glad.

After we pulled away, we went awkward for a few minutes, because that's just what we do best.

But after that, we had a good laugh, and everything was fine.
"Did you mean that?" He asks, catching me off guard.

"Mean what?"
"Are you actually in love with me?" He asks and I feel my face go a shade of pink.
"I mean, yeah. I have been for a while,"
"Fuck," He whispers to himself. This is probably going to ruin our friendship. I just couldn't keep it in any longer.

"I know," I say with a sigh. I debate whether I should start packing my things to head back to Chicago now or later.

"This sucks," He says and I feel offended.
"Okay, you don't have to say it like that. I'll just pack now then," I say standing up but his hand catches mine.

"What?" I say frustrated to see him looking worried.
"Why are you packing?"

"Because it's going to be too awkward for me to be living here with you since you don't feel the same," I pull my hand from mine and he tilts his head slightly.

"Who said I don't feel the same way?" He smiles dorkily up at me.

Did this boy really just say that?
Does he actually love me?

No. Fucking. Way.

"What?"
"I love you, Natalie," I can't tell you how long I have been waiting to hear those words come out of his mouth.

I want to break down in tears of happiness, call his mom and tell her, and attack him all at the same time, but I choose none so I don't look insane.

"Then why did you say it sucks?" I ask extremely confused.

"Because, Natalie, Liza and I just broke up like 2 months ago. As far as the world knows, we're still together," he explains. Shit. this does suck.

"We need to tell Liza before she finds out some other way," I say and he agrees.
"So what are we then?" David asks shyly, and I have no answer for his question.
"What do you want us to be?" I throw it back in his court.

"Maybe we should just not be anything really yet? Like more than friends but not necessarily dating if that makes sense," He explains and I agree. I mean he did just get out of a relationship. I got out of one not much before him, so it's not like we need to really rush into anything.

~~

The next day we decide that we should tell Liza what's going on. Although they're not in a relationship anymore and I think they've practically moved on from each other, she still deserves to know what's going on and have an opinion about it. I just hope it doesn't go horribly.

The doorbell rings, and I answer it to find Liza. We greet each other with a hug before we head toward the living room where David already is.

"Liza, we need to tell you something," David starts by saying. You could tell how nervous he is, which I can't really blame him.
Telling your ex-girlfriend that the public still thinks you're in a relationship that you're in love with your assistant who is also in love with you isn't really an everyday conversation.
"Y'all are dating," Liza says.
"Liza, David and I.. wait what?" I go to tell her what's going on, but she's practically guessed it.

"Y'all are together, right?" She says, and David and I look at each other in both shock and confusion.

"Not quite," David says and we explain to her that we both have feelings for each other, just aren't comfortable with rushing into things due to the circumstances.
"How did you pretty much know?" I ask her, crossing my legs.

"I could tell as soon as I saw you two interact that you had feelings for each other and just didn't want to admit it. I knew David and I were falling out of love, and I needed time for myself anyway, so I figured I'd let you two try it out," She says calmly, and again I'm completely shocked.

"Are you serious?" I ask. She broke up with David because she knew we had feelings for each other. I can't believe this.

"I didn't want to say anything because I wanted you guys to figure it out by yourself," She gives us a genuine smile, and I want to tackle her with a hug.
This is far better than I thought it would go.
"I'm really happy for you guys, really. When you guys date, don't worry about it being awkward. I still consider both of you my best friends and expect to be the maid of honor at your wedding," She jokes and I pull her into a hug.
"Thank you," I whisper to her.

The rest of the day, we all hung out watching movies, filming for David's vlog and making food. I'm glad we can all hang out without it being awkward, especially because I became so close to Liza so quickly.
Moving to LA is honestly one of the best things I've done.
I've gotten away from toxic people from back home, and have been able to start a new life here with some amazing friends.

It's funny though because now that I'm in David's vlogs, I've gained thousands of followers. And now there are people from back home trying to become friends with me because of it.

It just shows who's actually real and who's not.

I'm just glad to say I was blessed with a friend like Liza.

So my business law professor bumped my grade up to be nice and I'm so happy. 

I'd also love to marry him so thats it bye.
