You rushed out of your house making sure to not be late for work. You drove down the streets of LA before stopping at a starbucks. You decided to buy a cookie and a coffee. You got back in your car and headed to your work building. 

————

You parked your car, locked it and headed inside.

You waved to the receptionist Angie. You loved her she was adorable and mid 60's she's lovely. 

"Hi sweetie" she smiled 

"Heyyy" you smiled back

You headed straight to the elevator. The doors opened and you stepped inside. You work on the top floor which is a pain in the ass. You reached the second floor and that's when the elevator stopped. The doors opened and a young very cute guy walked inside. You smiled he smiled back you stepped aside as he stepped inside the elevator. The doors closed as you both stood in the awkward silence not knowing what to say to break it. A rickety sound caused you and the guy to look up the elevator suddenly started to shake as the lights flicked you lost your balance as you came crashing to the floor. The guy fell as well on the other side of the elevator It continued to shake as the lights continued to flicker. Then the lights completely turned off and the shaking stopped you waited a few seconds before letting out a sigh

"Holy shit you ok?" The man asked 

"Yeah yeah I'm good are you?" 

"Yeah I'm fine" he said as he turned his phone flashlight on. He rushed over to you and helped you up.

"Thanks" You said standing up and picking up your bag and coffee. There was a shelf on the one side of the elevator you put your coffee and bag on it as you and the man sat on the ledge. Once again an awkward silence.

"Sooo" He said awkwardly 

"Sooo" you repeated 

"I dunno about you but I'm not a fan of awkward situations and it looks like we're gonna be here awhile so let's start a conversation what's your name?" He asked 

"Yea me too. I'm y/n and you are?" you said smiling

"Grayson" you shook hands as you spoke

"Ok Grayson tell me about yourself"

"Ok well I'm 19 and was born and raised in New Jersey but moved to LA with my twin brother Ethan at 15 for our careers which are you tubers. I have a mom named Lisa but my dad sadly passed away this year from cancer. I also have a sister named Cameron who's in college at the moment. Me and Ethan went on a world wide tour at the age of 16 and did over 40 shows-

He continued to talk about his life which for some reason really intrigued you. You listened to what he said carefully and nodded along every now and then. He was actually really interesting, funny, entertaining and not to mention he was hot. 

"But yeah that's pretty much everything how bout you?" He said 

You took a sip of your coffee and placed it back down.

"Ok where do I start I'm 19 as well and moved to LA when I was ten with my parents because of there work I lived with them till I was 16 because that's when they wanted to go back home. I on the on the other hand loved it here and wanted to stay. I bought an apartment as my parents flew home to England. I do have a sister but we don't talk as she got into drugs and shit quite young so I have no idea where she is now-

You rambled on and on about yourself as Grayson listened intently to every word you said he smiled and nodded along like you did which was nice. He was actually a really chill person
