Sweet Beginnings (Damien Haas)

Chapter Two:

My fingers flew over my keyboard, working on some new marketing ideas for the brand as well as answering emails as they came in. So far I've been at smosh for over a month, and quite honestly I was loving the job. My coworkers were really nice, as was the squad. I had become quite close to Courtney over the past few weeks as well as Sarah who helped me navigate through the job.

Hearing the door open as someone walked into the office I was in, barely looking up and noticing it was Courtney.

"Hey, just let me finish up this email." I said without looking away from my computer, finishing up type before hitting send and turning my attention to Courtney who dropped onto the chair near my desk.  "What's up?"

Courtney leaned forward to rest her elbows on the desk and rest her chin on her open hands. She grinned at me like she had something plotting causing me to raise my eyebrows.

"So what's your plans this weekend?" She asked.

"Uh, probably just some shopping for stuff for my apartment... Why?" I answered.

"Well myself, Shayne, and  are going to Disney this weekend to film a vlog. I figured you could probably do with a weekend away from either here or home and wanted you to come with us..." She said, watching me hopefully. "We won't be vlogging the whole time, just a few things here and there. It's normally a fun time!"

"I mean, as long as its ok with the others I'm game. Honestly, I'be never even been to Disney before. " I said excitedly. It'll be good to go out with other people. See some new things, maybe get closer to the others so I wouldn't feel so alone.

Courtney's eyes widen when she heard my comment about never going to Disney before. She stumbled over her words before shaking her head.

"You've never.... That's it, you're definitely coming. No ifs ands, or buts about it." She said in a serious tone before standing up. "We're leaving early tomorrow. Last I heard is were all meeting here and I think Damien's driving... At least that's what they told me. " She stated as she backed up towards the door. "If you need anything just text me. If not i'll see you tomorrow bright and early at 630" She waved at me before walking out.

Smiling as I watched her leave before turning my attention back to my computer. Might as well get what I can done now since i'm sure this weekend will be busy.

I finally logged out of my computer and turned it off when it was around 6 pm. Making sure the office lights were off since I was the last one in it before leaving the room. Pulling my hair from the pony tail, my fingers running through it as i untangled it as it fell over my shoulder.  I wasn't paying attention as I rounded the corner to enter the lobby and managed to collide with someone who was standing on the other side. 

I quickly looked up, eyes wide.

"Oh my lord. I am so sorry!" I said quickly. The man turned around and I noticed it was Damien.  I've seen him a few times in the office over the weeks. He's always been polite and funny, but we never had the chance to talk. He smiled at me and shook his head.

"No, I'm sorry. I should know better then to stand there. " He said as he held his hand out. I reached forward to shake it, using my free hand to brush my hair behind my ear. "You're Thea right? Part of marketing and you did that shoot a couple weeks ago for the store?" He asked, his eyebrows burrowing together.

"Yes. Damien right?" I asked as my hand dropped from his. He nodded at my question as we both headed towards the door.

"The one and only!" He chuckled. Damien pushed opened the front door once we reached it, letting me walk out before following after me.

"So, I heard from Courtney you're coming with us this weekend?" He asked as we walked towards our cars. We both stopped behind my car, which was coincidentally parked right next to mine. 

"I am. As long as its ok with you guys..." I said as i leaned back against the trunk of my car.

"Of course! It's normally a fun time. Not overly consumed with vlogging and we get to hang out at disney. Whats not to like?" He said, grabbing his phone from his pocket before tapping the screen a few times and handed it to me. I looked down at it confused on why he was holding it out before looking up at him. "Here, put your contact in. That way if we get separated tomorrow I'll be able to reach you."

I took his phone from him carefully, knowing my luck i'd probably drop it. Typing in my phone number and name before I noticed his contacts had pictures to. Grinning slightly to myself before i snapped a selfie with a slightly crazy smile. Smiling at my hard work before handing his phone back to him.

Damien chuckled when he noticed the picture before putting his phone back into his pocket.

"Thanks. So i guess I'll see you tomorrow?" He said as he started towards his car.

"I guess so. Have a good night." I said, smiling as he waved towards me before driving off.

The smile stayed the whole drive home. My thoughts on him. I've only really talked to him once, and yet I was already excited to see him again tomorrow.

After eating a quick dinner and taking a shower I started to climb into bed, only for my phone to ping on my nightstand. Grabbing it and looked at the screen noticing the new message notification. I quickly unlocked it before reading the text

**Looking forward to hanging out tomorrow!**

I frowned as I didn't recognize the number. Starting to type a reply before another text popped up under it. 

**Crap. It's Damien... Just realized I never gave you my number. I'm not some creeper!**

I couldn't help but laugh at the reply. Shaking my head as I quickly typed and sent him a text back

**It's cool. Also looking forward to hanging out. About to head to bed, sleep tight **

Setting my phone down on my nightstand, tilting it so I could see the screen as i laid back.

** :) sleep well T **

Smiling when I noticed the text before rolling over and drifting off, thinking of what this weekend was going to bring.
