The long way home || Shawn Mendes||

38

"Hey Al you better leave soon or you're going to be late," Ollie yells at me.

"Yeah I'm leaving now in a second," I yell back looking over my outfit.

I'm wearing a white top tucked into ripped blue jeans, nude heels and a long pink fancy jacket. My hair is down and curled and I have a little bit of make up. It's currently the 21st March and I'm on my way to my meeting for E&B photography.

I grab my clutch and phone and I head out to my car. I haven't seen Shawn much. Only for doctors appointments. I also found an apartment and I'm moving in at the begging of April. I arrive at E&B photography's office's and I walk in.

"Hi I'm Alex Jones I have a meeting with Megan Henderson," I say to the lady in the reception.

"8th floor room 107 it has her name on the door as well, the elevator is over there," the smartly dressed lady says.

"Thank you," I say walking over to the lift. I press the button for the 8th floor and just as the door is about to shut someone quickly steps in and presses the 4th floor button.

He gives me a small smile but then his phone starts blowing up and he quickly pays attention to it. I can't help but look at him. He seems around my age, he's around 6'2, 6'3, he has black floppy hair and blue eyes, he is also smartly dressed and did I mention he is very hot. We stop on the 4th floor and he get's out still on the phone but as he get's off I hear him say to someone on a call "Yeah Henderson's looking for the photo's by the end of the day' which means he must work here. I step of the lift when it reaches my floor and I start looking for Megan Henderson's office.

103, 104, 105, 106, 107, Megan Henderson. I knock on the door and I hear a lady's voice saying come in.

"Hi, I'm," I go to say but she inturrupts me.

"Alex Jones, Hi, I'm Megan Henderson, I'm glad you decided to meet with me, please have a seat," she smiles and I sit down.

She explains what kind of work I would be doing which is mostly magazine work, She also talks about the pay and hours and all the benefits and that kind of stuff. We also talked about my pregnancy and told me about the maternity leave.

"Thank you so much for this opportunity," I smile.

"You are a great photographer and I'm glad to have you on my team, you start Monday," She smiles, "Oh and you will be working along side one of our best photographers Jaiden Wright."

"That's great, I'll see you on Monday," I say leaving her office, "And thank you again."

"No problem sweetie," She smiles and I walk down the hall to the lift when the doors shut I do a little happy squeal, one less thing to stress about now I have a steady income.

I decide to grab a decaf coffee because caffeine is bad for the baby and I head into a little coffee shop on the corner called Benson's coffee. I walk in and the little bell rings. It's a very cute little coffee shop. I order my coffee and then I wait for it. They call out my drink and I grab it and when I turn around someone walks straight into me knocking their drink over me.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry," the guy quickly says grabbing napkins and handing me some.

"It's fine," I say dabbing my t-shirt.

"Are you sure, that stain is never coming out," he says.

"It's fine really," I smile.

"Hey you were in the lift at E&B photography," he says.

"Yeah I was going for a meeting I'm starting there on Monday," I smile.

"Your going to love it there, I've been working there for a year and it's amazing," he smiles.

"Ouch," I say grabbing my stomach.

"Woah are you okay," he asks helping me sit down at one of the tables.

"Yeah, my baby just started learning how to kick the other day and now won't stop," I laugh.

"Your husbands probably going to kill me for spilling coffee over you and your baby," he says.

"I'm single, the father and I aren't really on good terms," I say.

"Oh I'm sorry," he says.

"It's fine, I'll be fine, I have a job now which is great," I smile..

"I would love to stay and chat but I have a meeting in 5 minuets so I better run, I'll see you on Monday," he says and he walks out of the café.

I finish my drink and then I head home to start packing since I'm moving in 2 and 1/2 weeks and have done nothing.

"How did the meeting go?" Taz asks when I walk in the door.

"Great, I got the job, I start on Monday," I say taking off my boots.

"Oh my god what happened to your shirt?" Ollie asks as I walk over to the couch.

"Well when I was in the lift this really cute guy got on with black floppy hair and blue eyes and was extremely hot and then after when I was in a coffee shop he spilt his coffee over me by accident and then we started talking about the job and me being pregnant because squid started kicking and he wasn't freaked out at all," I smile putting my feet on Ollie's lap and my head on Taz's lap.

"So what's his name?" Ollie asks.

"Crap," I moan.

"You didn't get his name," Taz says annoyed at me.

"I'm sorry pregnancy brain," I say, "great now I'm never going to see him again because the company is huge we probably are going to be working in complete different sections."

"Don't worry you will see him again," Taz says.

"I'm just glad you are thinking of someone other than Shawn," Ollie says.

"Ollie," Taz moans.

"What it's true," Ollie moans.

"I'm going to go start packing call me when you're ordering take out," I say walking into my room.

"Okay sweetie," Taz says:
