The Secretary (ON HOLD)

Breakfast

JOE'S POV

I woke up and pulled some joggers and a t-shirt. My sleep wasn't the best, I can't remember the last time I had a real good night of sleep. I went downstairs, and to my surprise a certain redhead was still fast asleep on the sofa. She was absolutely adorable, read hair everywhere lips slightly pouted. Her breath was heavy, I removed the note from the table and decided to let her sleep a little longer. I for sure thought she would have left by now. I decided to make us both some breakfast, something quick and easy. I made eggs, bacon and some toast. I knew she loved coffee, so I made us each a cup. I went back over to her.

"Di?" I gently shook her shoulder. Her eyelids fluttered open and she looked up at me very confused. "Good morning, you fell asleep last night, and I didn't want to wake you." Her cheeks flushed a little. "morning" her voice was a little groggy still, she rubbed her eyes.
"I made some breakfast, and coffee if you want?"
"there's coffee?" she shot up fast and excited. But she stopped very quickly, and her eyes started to roll back. I grabbed on to her quickly. "Di, are you ok?" I sat us both down holding on to her.
"yeah, just a headrush, guess I stood up to quickly."
"You sure?" I looked down at her a little concerned, she smiled back.
"yeah, I just need some food and coffee and I'll be good as new"

We sat down for breakfast. "do you want any fruit or something, I think I have some apples and some bananas"
"Oh dear god not apples, it's way to early for apples" she almost sounded a little scared of apples.
"I can't eat apples before twelve pm, it freaks me out. I just can't do it" She giggled nervously. "I can't stand when other people do either"
"banana then?" I chuckled, as I went to grab us one each. Note to self, never eat apples around this girl before noon. She is so quirky. "So, have you ever been to an award show before?" she looked at me a little confused, until she realized she was my date for the award show I was presenting an award at tonight.
"No, I have been at a few red carpets with my ex though" she looked a little sad for a moment.

"I know there will be press, and there will probably be some articles about us, I'm sure Sophie mentioned that?"
"yeah, she told me all about it"
"they usually die down after a few weeks, and it's kind of the reason I had to hire someone to join me for these things. They got so up in everything I was doing, if I had a girlfriend, why I haven't had a long-term girlfriend. And it really got to me a few years back. They wrote articles about every girl I was friends with, and the fans can get a little toxic as well, so I have always kept my relationships very private" I didn't know why I was telling her this, I just felt like I could trust her with anything.
"I'm fine with it honestly, we have so much fun together anyway, don't worry about it" she said smiling.

"We don't really have anything to do today, so how about we meet in the lobby at 5.30? do you know what color dress you are wearing?"
"No, I'll figure it out though. I'll see you later then, bye"
"bye" I closed the door behind her. It was nice to have company. I cleared our plates away and folded up the blanket that was left in a pile on the floor. I was pretty sure I had a crush on my secretary, or maybe more? I had never felt like this with any girl. I sat on the sofa; the pillows still smelled like her. I decided to give Zoe a call.

"Ello Brosheph, how are you?" "fine thanks zo, I just have a little problem."
"what's up?"
"Well I think I have a crush on my new secretary." "who is this new secretary of yours then, tell me about her."
"Her name is Dianne, she's Australian and she used to be a professional dancer. She has the most beautiful eyes, and bright red hair. She has my sense of humor, and we just click very well together. I'm just so comfortable around her. She makes me feel this warmth in the pit of my stomach kind of. It's weird, but I don't want to ruin anything, and she just got out of a relationship. I'm probably not her type anyways" I sighed.
"oh, Joe you have it bad, don't you? This sounds like more than a little crush. Honestly how bad could it be?" "well it could ruin our whole working relationship and I really don't want that cause she's already great at this." "well joe, just stay friendly until you see how she feels, she might feel the same you know"
"thanks Zozo"
