His Assistant | David Dobrik x Natalie

Chapter 21

The next morning I decided to surprise David.
I know at first he'll think I'm crazy, but I know he'll enjoy it after I get him there.

I run down to the beach, setting up blankets and pillows, along with coffee, water, and made pancakes, his favorite.

Dressed in spandex shorts and one of his t-shirts, I wake him up.

"David, babe wake up," I kiss his forehead, and he rolls over with a groan.

"What time is it?" He asks not opening his eyes.
I know he knows it's as early as it is.

"5:30 am," I smile and he finally opens his eyes to give me a stupid look.

"What is the matter with you," He says, pulling his blankets up trying to go back to sleep.

To wake him up, I climb on top of him, and start by pecking his lips, before leaving a trail of kisses down his neck, and toward his bare chest.

He shifts slightly, and I know I'm being successful with waking him up.

"Babe," He groans, and I giggle.

"Wake up," I beg him, and he sighs.

"I have a surprise for you," I tell him.
"If it involves this, I"m totally down," He wraps his hands around my waist pulling me closer but I move back.
"Later," I wink at him, grabbing his hand and pulling him out of bed.
"Put clothes on and then meet me in the living room," I yell behind me, and I know he flipped me off, but I just keep going.

A few minutes later, I can tell he's run a brush through his hair and threw on a pair of black shorts and a black tee.

How original Dobrik.
We start heading out to the beach, and I see that the sun is going to start setting in a few minutes, just in time.

"What's going on?" He asks, and I ignore him, leading him to the blanket set up.

"We're going to watch the sunset," I tell him with a smile, he doesn't look too amused, but I know it's just because he woke up not even 5 minutes ago.

"Babe, it's our last full day. We're not missing a Hawaii sunrise," I tell him and he offers me a smile.
"Do I smell food?" He asks and I chuckle. Of course, he cares about the food.

"I made pancakes and bacon," I hand him a plate, and he lights up.
"Okay this is worth it," He says, following the plate with his eyes.

We watch the sunrise and eat our food, and I'm so happy. So so happy.

"David," I say after I finish my food.

"Yeah?" He asks, and I almost tell him I love him, but I chicken out last second. I know I told him at the beginning that I'm in love with him, but we've never said 'i love you' to each other, and he probably took it as I was nervous and just said the first thing that came to mind.

"Thank you for bringing me. This is beautiful," I tell him not taking my eyes off the sunrise, and I feel him glance at me before taking my hand in his and looking back at the sunrise.
"I wouldn't want to spend this trip with anyone else," He admits, and I blush.
"Natalie, I need to tell you something," He says turning to face me, and I turn as well, so we're facing each other.

What could he be telling me? He doesn't want to be in a relationship with me? He's getting back with Liza? He's firing me?

"What is it?" I ask getting nervous. I feel my palms start to sweat, and I'm so glad we're no longer holding hands.

"So we've known each other for a while, right?" He says and I nod slowly, trying to see where he's going with this.

"A long time really. We went through everything in high school together. Puberty, shitty relationships, and so on. You know everything about me, literally everything," He continues.

"I know everything about you. We stopped talking for a little while after high school, and yes I know it's my fault," I chuckle slightly since he was referring to his big move to LA. He developed fame quickly and didn't really find time to check in.

I was hurt, of course, but I was more proud that he'd found something that he was so talented at, and was able to pursue it. I'm glad he was able to prove everyone from high school wrong and ended up being the most successful person to ever attend that school. 

"I invited you to LA, not necessarily to decorate my house, even though it is way more beautiful than I could've ever imagined. I didn't invite you to become my assistant," He pauses. I get nervous. This is his way of firing me I know it. 

"I invited you because I realized how stupid I was," He looks off at the water, leaving me confused as to why he was stupid. 

"My mom always told me you and I were going to end up together. Married. Kids. Happy. I didn't believe her. I thought she was clueless and hopeful," He says and I can't help but chuckle. She's done the same to me for so many years. 

"I'm starting to realize she's right," He says, and my eyes widen. 

"David," I interrupt and his eyes also widen. 

"I'm not proposing," He chuckles and I join, feeling relieved. 

"You are genuinely the best person that has ever come into my life. You've shown me true happiness, sadness, anger, but most of all love," I feel a tear come to my eye.

"Natalie Mariduena, I'm madly fucking in love with you," He finishes, his eyes staring directly into mine.
I don't say anything. Just because I'm in shock. I thought I was getting fired.

"I love you too," I finally reply, and he immediately pulls me in for a kiss, neither of us having any plan of stopping. 

But suddenly I remember what I left behind in my suitcase so I pull away causing him to groan.
"What," He moans, and I smirk. 

"Go to your room. I have a surprise," I wink at him, running up toward the house.

I look back quickly to see him confused, staring at me. 

"Go!" I yell at him laughing. 

I hold up the lingerie set. It's red, his favorite color other than black. It's lacy, tight, and revealing. But not overly revealing. 

I throw it on and tie the silky black bathrobe around me just as I hear him plop down on his bed in his room.
I smirk, and take a deep breath, exhaling all the fear pooling inside me. 

I knock on his door but don't wait for an answer. 

Swinging the door open, I see him pop his head up, staring at me. 

"Hi, David. Ready for your surprise?" I ask seductively, causing him to gulp and nod slowly. 

I slowly removed the bathrobe, leaving it in a pile on the floor. 

His eyes widen, mouth drops, and he just stares. 

"Holy shit," He mutters, making my smirk widen.

"Get ready for the surprise of your life, baby."
