Michael POV

It been way over a month since Gavin's left. Which means 3-4 weeks without him.

3-4 weeks without Gavin's voice.

3-4 weeks without a British annoying laugh.

3-4 weeks without my best friend.

Over the period of those weeks we have been going out a lot as an office group.

Almost every day we did something as an AH group as well as including people from the main office.

We had gone to play mini golf which might I add I was pretty bad at. Ryan on the other hand was better.

We also went to the movies a lot even if they only showed repeats but I was glad to have someone with me.

Yeah I know we are only doing this because of Gavin's absence but I enjoyed it.

But I rather have Gavin here.

I rather be able to look over and catch him smiling at me during a video.

I rather listen to him screw up his grammar and I'd rather listen to his squeaky laugh.

And it was true, in fact I was able to catch him watching me during videos.

I just never paid any attention to it.

I would smile back and then look in the direction of the screen. I wonder how long Gavin had feelings toward me.

He may not have them now but I'd like to know.

I rolled out of my chair pulling my headphones with me, them falling off as I hit the floor.

"What're you doing there Michael?" Ray asked chuckling.

I shrugged,"Gotta go talk to someone."

"I WANNA COME." He shouted taking his headphones off also.

The gents laughed and stayed put not questioning me.

Everyone, including them, knew I loved Gavin so no one really asked questions anymore.

Ray and I locked arms and together we skipped out of the room into the hallway.

We skipped, our feet almost tripping us, all the way to the end of the hall before we stopped.

"Where are we going Michael?"

"Uh actually I forgot because I enjoyed skipping with you."

He laughed,"Shall we?" He said putting his arm out again for us to skip.

I laughed but followed.

And again we skipped throughout the building.

"But seriously where are we going?" He asked while our feet still carried us.

"Barb."

He nodded,"Ah. Gav problems?"

I nodded back at his slight nod and we headed in the direction of Barbara.

We found her in the middle of walking around in a conversation with Gus but we interrupted anyway.

"Barbara!" Ray and I both shouted.

Gus stopped talking to laugh at us both skipping together.

"You guys are fucking idiots."

I smiled,"We try."

"We are also stealing Barbara."

Ray then lifted up his shirt slightly,"Alright Blondie get in the bag."
