Nick Jonas's New Assistant

Part Six

I promised Nick that I would be back way before we had to go to dinner, and despite everything going on I wasn't going to break that promise. I showered at my apartment and threw on some comfortable clothes. Just bringing everything I needed to get ready with me in a bag. It was only a little after 3, so I didn't want to show up all ready for dinner. I also brought with me everything I needed for Joe's birthday party tonight. George had helped me pick out a present for him, since I don't really know Joe I was pretty lost on what to get, but thankfully George had been around him for years and knew the things he loves.

I also had secretly snagged George and his wife a few gifts while we were out to thank them for all they did for me today. I got George a tie I saw him looking at and picked out a beautiful diamond necklace for his wife, so when he came to pick me up I handed them both to him with a grin. "sorry they aren't wrapped up or anything, but I wanted to thank you both for today." I said as he took the bag with the gifts inside from me. When he sees what's inside I see a wide smile spread over his face, he thanks me and gives me the best hug he can while we're in a car before we head off to Nicks house. I'm not sure what I expect when I get there, but I really hope things are just back to normal, that's what I really need right now.

I say goodbye to George once we get to Nicks place, and he thanks me again and even gets out of the car to give me a proper hug. I squeeze him tight before we part ways and I turn to face Nicks front door. Okay, you got this. I walk up to the door, using my key to open it. Once I step inside I hear noise coming from the living room, it sounds like the TV.

"It's just me" I called out.

"Hey, I'm in the living room" he calls back to me.

I slip off my shoes and set my stuff down on the counter before making my way toward the living room. There is a movie playing on the TV, nothing I recognize, and Nick is sitting on the couch. He turns his head to look at me and flashes me a smile. Relief fills me up. It's back to normal and I couldn't be happier. I grin back at him before falling down into my usual spot beside him on the couch.

We spent the next few hours sitting on the couch, watching movies just like we always did in our free time. Everything felt so normal, I couldn't be happier. The only problem is that... I'm still falling in love with him. It felt like this was more than him just being my boss, or him just being my friend, but it wasn't until I saw that girl in his bed this morning that I knew it was really true, but am I willing to give up my dream job? Am I willing to give up my best friend? I don't know... I don't know if I can do that. If I let it go past what we have now, and it doesn't work out, everything I love about my life will come to a screeching halt. I just don't think I can handle that.

I checked my phone, it was 5:30. Shit. I didn't realize it was that late.

"Fuck. We really should start getting ready, I don't want to be late, this is a huge meeting for you." I said, getting up from the couch. "Do you need to shower? Do you know what you are going to wear? Oh, also, do you have your present for your brother ready? I can get someone to get it together if not while we are gone" I let the words fall carelessly from my mouth as I make my way to the kitchen, Nick is notorious for putting things off, so I've gotten used to asking these questions. I can hear him chuckle from behind me, as he follows me to the kitchen, helping me with my bags. I turn around with a small laugh "What? It's literally my job to make sure of all those things." "True." He says, following me up the guest bedroom.

I had basically made the guest bedroom my room. There's been plenty of nights I just crashed here after getting home late or accidently falling asleep while we were hanging out. He sets my bag on the bed and immediately shewed him out of the room. "please go get ready, don't be late!" I speak sternly yet jokingly, closing the door once he is out of the room.
