"You ready?" Jimmy asked me, as I stepped out of the car. I nodded my head, still trying to take in my surroundings. We were right at the front of the car park, and it made me wonder if people saved the space for Jimmy. I suppose he was the boss, so it made sense that he would have the best parking space. The warehouse had a tiny little front door, and a huge metal doorway right next to it. It wasn't exactly a wonder of the world, but that's exactly how it seemed to me in that moment. This was my future, and each step towards the building seemed like a new step of life. I looked up at Jimmy, and he was smiling down at me. "What?" I asked, this time he definitely blushed, I could see his cheeks developing a slight red tint to them. "Nothing, just happy to see you happy." He chuckled, pushing the door that was in front of us, and holding it open for me as I stepped inside. For a warehouse, it was surprisingly warm. I noticed at least four radiators in the long hallway ahead of us, I could only hope they were this frequent all the way through. If my college course hadn't started so late in the year, it would be the middle of summer right now. Which would make a very interesting contrast to the cold, crisp air of Autumn that was running rampant outside.

"Y/N!" A voice shouted from the end of the hallway, making me jump slightly, as I was still in a little daze. I looked at the person, or blur, as it now was, running towards me. I was suddenly hit with such a force that I had to stabilize myself, and it took me a second to realize that I was being hugged. It certainly took me by surprise, I hadn't hugged someone for years, and I didn't even know who this was. I was squeezed within an inch of my life for a second, before the person released their grip, and allowed me to stand properly again. I was greeted by a tall man with a cheeky grin, waving at me. "Chandler!" I said back to him, in the same voice he had used just moments before when shouting my name. "Feeling a little hyper today, Chandler?" Jimmy asked. He simply nodded his head erratically, channeling the personality I had seen often in Jimmy's videos. "I had a RedBull." He beamed. You could really tell, his eyes were darting around like crazy. You could almost see the energy pouring out of his body. "Come on, everyone's waiting for you." He said, all of his words merging into one. It's a good thing I made out what he said, because I wouldn't have been able to ask him to repeat it, before he was running down the hall again.

I looked at Jimmy, a smile creeping onto both of our faces, before we both just laughed. "Someone's happy to see you." He said, making me laugh again. It was nice to feel so welcomed the second I walked in the door. "Come on, I'll introduce you to everyone". I followed him down the long hallway, multiple doors branching off into huge rooms, each one with a bigger mechanical door next to it. This place was gigantic. About half way down was a big set of automatic doors, and Jimmy lead me through them to face a crowd of people.

There were a lot of familiar faces, and just as many unfamiliar faces. I felt my head spin a little bit, everyone was looking at me. This was more attention than I've had in the last year, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't give a huge confidence boost. There was not a single person in the room who wasn't smiling, and I found myself beaming back at them all. "Everyone, this is Y/N, she's going to be our new graphic designer, and editor. I'm going to be showing her around today, so please, make her feel welcome."

Seeing him taking on the role of 'The Boss' was a little bit hot. You didn't see it in his videos, he was always fun and carefree Jimmy, and to see him leading a company like this, made my stomach flip, and my cheeks heat up. I caught his eye, and I was so happy I could blame my sudden wave of emotion on being nervous. I couldn't have him knowing that he had this effect on me, that would be extremely embarrassing.

Everyone made their way over to me, introducing themselves, and letting me know they were there if I had any questions. Everyone seemed lovely, but I was slightly happy that they were all eager to get back to work. I was getting a little overwhelmed, trying to put names to faces, faces to names, and trying to greet them all individually. The only people left in the warehouse were the same people I had met at Walmart, just days before. "Nice to see you again Y/N." Jake said, I smiled at him, greeting him back, and shaking his hand. He definitely seemed much more gentleman like than the others. Chris seemed a lot more awake than last time I saw him, "So what do you think?" He asked, gesturing to the ceiling. I followed where his hands were pointing, and sarcastically told him, "Very tall". Jimmy laughed perhaps a little too much than he should have over my shit joke, leading me to believe that he had a very easy sense of humor. Chris simply rolled his eyes at me, so I decided to follow through with a proper answer. "Seriously though, this is amazing! Everyone's so nice." I turned to Jimmy, "Thank you, again." This time Jimmy rolled his eyes at me, "Thank you for filling the job role we had." I gave him a truly heartfelt smile, and he returned it.

Chandler patted the seat next to him on one of the benches, and I made my way over to him, Jimmy following close behind. We both sat down, and engaged in conversation about what had been going on since we last saw each other. Jimmy even asked me if I'd had a chance to try his favorite pizza, and looked delighted when I told him yes. This was the nice, unimportant, yet completely indulging conversation that I'd been missing the last few years of my life. It was amazing to think that this was going to be a near daily occurrence now, and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
