Today is the day I'm officially meeting my editor. He has been editing my manuscripts for a while now, and I thought it was finally time that Daniel Brühl and I should meet. In all honesty I was feeling nervous as hell. Especially since he's the one who gets to read my books before they're even published. His eyes grace the pages before anyone else gets to read my work.
My cab stopped outside of Daniel's apartment, causing a rush of anxiety and exciment to flow through my body. I paid my cab driver before getting out of the yellow colored car. I took a deep breath before I walked up the few steps that lead into the apartment building. A call box was on the brick wall near the front doors. I looked through the list and eventually found my editor's name.
I pressed the buzzer and waited for him to pick up. "Hello?" He asked in his pleasant sounding voice. "Hi, it's me... y/n." I said into the little speaker. "Oh my god! I can't believe you're actually here!! Come on up so we can properly meet each other." He said and the door made a buzzing sound. I quickly opened the door so I didn't have to ask Daniel to open it up again.
When I entered the apartment building the smell of cigarettes hit me. It wasn't too powerful, but enough to make me wrinkle my nose. The place looked like any other apartment building to be honest. It had an eigties feel to it due to the wallpaper and flooring though. As I walked down the long hallway I heard a tv playing one of the apartments.
I also noticed the sound of a baby crying, but it was faint and I figured it had to be coming from one of the apartments upstairs. I pressed my thoughts to the back of my mind once I found Daniel's apartment. Butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I managed to build up some courage and knock on his door. When he opened the door I was almost breathless.
He was so much more handsome than I imagined, and it made the butterflies worse. His eyes are what really took my breath away. They were so big and beautifully brown. I could see myself getting lost in them. He had a beard and his hair was combed into a side part as well. "Hey, come in. I made some tea if you'd like a cup." He said sweetly. Since the first day we talked I found his German accent adorable.
"Yes, please." I replied with a small shy smile, and he gave me one in return. As I looked around at my surroundings I couldn't help but feel comfortable. He had a bookshelf filled to the brim with books. As I looked at the spines of the books he owned my heart warmed when I saw my own works on those shelves. "You bought my books?" I asked curiously.
"Of course I bought your books. You're one of my favorite writers." He replied with a nervous laugh. "That's so sweet, but I could have given you free copies. I mean... you are the one who has to sift through hundreds of pages to fix my grammatical errors." I said feeling guilty that he was using his money to buy my books. "Yeah, but I love my job. Especially when it comes to editing your books." He said sweetly.
The sparkle in his beautiful brown eyes made me blush a little. The two of us sat on the couch and drank tea as we got to know each other better. We mostly discusses books, movies, and art. It felt like I knew him all my life and I wondered if he felt the same way.
Weeks passed, making Daniel and I become closer and closer. To be honest... I never wanted to leave. I knew I'd miss him like crazy; I'd especially miss his hugs because... well... he just feels like home. When I'm in his strong arms I feel so safe, warm, and loved. I was also scared because I knew I was falling in love with him. Every little thing about him just makes me feel so happy.
