"Oh Madison" was the first thing I said that caused me to wake up confused. I stretched and looked over at my alarm clock only to wake me up even more. I slept in.

"Shit, shit,shit" I said to myself practically throwing my clothes on still half undone.

"I'm gonna be so late" I grabbed an apple from my fruit bowl before closing my front door.

I pulled up in the parking lot of the White House and was about to get out until I realised my pants weren't done, when I grabbed them I noticed that my little me was standing tall and proud.

"Fuck" I said to myself cursing the dream I had with Madison in it.

I heard a knock on my window scaring me and I instantly tried my best to cover myself. I saw that it was councilwoman Fox and I put my window down.

"It seems to me that you have a problem that I have the solution for" she smirked at me and all I done was unlock the doors to let her get in.



"You are five minutes late Y/n" Zendaya said angrily at me as I saw Councilwoman Fox behind her giving me a wink.

"I had an issue" was all I could say due to me not wanting to die by the hands of her because if she found out what happened like a minute ago I would not be standing here.

"An issue" she went to go off on me until President Grande came up interrupting her.

"Ah Y/n just in time" she smiled at me before motioning for me to walk with her.

If I was still a child I totally would've stuck my tongue out at Zendaya, but that's not the case.

"I need your help with something" she brought me into the meeting room "tell me what you think about my speech that I'm giving today" she took a sip of her water before giving me her speech.

"That was amazing" I praised her and she furrowed her eyebrows before sitting in one of the chairs.

"I feel like it's missing something, you can be brutally honest with me Y/n I won't kill you" she laughed.

"Well" I thought before I spoke just so I wouldn't say the wrong thing "it's a tad bit too formal if you get me" she motioned for me to elaborate "what I mean is, you want everyone to know that you don't view yourself as higher up than them instead you want them to view you as equal as them" I paused "maybe I'm wrong".

"No, no,no" she cut me off "your definitely right" she moved to the seat next to mine on the oval shaped table and took her pen out to hand it to me "work away".

I took the pen she was offering and cleared out some of the formal words only to put less formal ones down.


"And that is why I am more than happy to give this medal of honour to the postal workers that worked all the way throughout this crisis and thanking them for their hard work hoping that it can make up to the risk they all took" Miss Grande concluded with the cameras flashing.

She put the medal over one of the postal workers neck and smiled as both of them got a picture.

I was standing next to Zendaya proud of my helping hand in the speech she gave.

"How's being the secretary so far" Zendaya ask as President Grande now took a few pictures with her husband Frank.

"So far so good Ze" I smiled at her.

"That's good to hear" after them words left her mouth Councilwoman Fox came over asking to speak in private with me.

"I almost forgot" she handed me her business card with her number circled around it multiple times "just in case you need a helping mouth oh sorry" she laughed "hand again" she then walked off leaving me stunned.

"Goodnight Y/n/n" Zendaya peaked her head through the door of my office.

"See you tomorrow Ze" I smiled at her.

The only new added addition to being the helper of the President is that my hours are now longer but at least it's more money. I just have to keep thinking on the positive side. I looked at the clock to see the it was eleven pm and I've been here since one.

"Keep thinking on the positive side Y/n" I said to myself just before Miss Grande walked in.

"Hey Miss Grande" I stood up.

She chuckled "you don't have to stand for me" she waved and I sat back down "but I was thinking" a small smile played on her lips "if you want go on a drive around the house grounds" it's not like I could've said no.

"Be honest" she said as the lights flickered on in the garage where all the cars were kept "do you think these are too many cars" I looked at the countless amount.

"Ehm" I started off "no" I said more like a question making her laugh.

"Very convincing Miss Y/l/n, pick which one you want to drive" she said with a smile still on her face.

"That one" I immediately picked the one I cleaned when I first got here. It is literally the car of my dreams.

"Nice choice" she went over to the locked cabinet with all the keys in it and took the specific one out throwing it to me.

I caught it with a smile and opened it for both Miss Grande and I to slide into.

"You look rather happy" she said looking at the huge smile that was on my face as I got a feel for the steering wheel.

"I really am" I turned the car on and pulled out.

"So Miss President" I said after our other mini conversation died down "how are you liking your job so far" I said keeping my focus on the road.

"I thought I told you to at least call me Miss Grande but" she thought looking out the window as we were driving by the White House for the fourth time tonight "I love it, it's all I ever wanted and to also even be able to say that I was the first female president" she shook her head with a small laugh "is crazy".

She extended her arm to my shoulders rubbing the back of my neck. Although I found it strange, I couldn't help but love the feeling of the moving motion of her fingers "how about you, are you enjoying your employment at the White House" she had a tone of amusement in her voice.

"Compared to the other jobs I've had yes, I am loving it but" I sighed making her question my 'but'.

"Zendaya" I don't think I want her hand to go away from my neck, I thought as I melted even more against her soft touch "I get the sense that she only wanted me there temporarily and I'm doing the total opposite of that right now" she hummed understanding.

"What I've noticed from Zendaya is that she can be a perfectionist in some ways and maybe you should tell her how you feel" she shrugged "maybe she could be jealous in some sense".

"Actually why did you offer me to be your secretary, I mean I'm very grateful that you did but wouldn't you trust someone like Zendaya more with that position" she exhaled before saying.

"The difference with you and Zendaya is that, I feel I could get the truth from you more. From what I saw when I asked for your help with the printer that night and I've tried to get to that certain level with Zendaya but I just feel that she's too formal" I nodded agreeing with her just as we pulled up back into the house.

"See you tomorrow" she removed her hand from the back of my neck and placed it on my knee giving it a small squeeze "and you can keep the car" she then got out of the car. I quickly got out as well.

"Wait what" I said just as she got to the door.

She smiled and chuckled at my actions "keep the car, you'll probably drive more than me anyways" with that she walked back into the house with me alone in the garage.

I looked at the expensive beautiful car that is now mine "keep thinking on the positive side" I said to myself as I got back in the car with a smile on my face.

Dare I say double update?
