"Hi." I said, staring up at him. Wow. It was really him. He was so attractive. Everything about him make me want to melt into a puddle. "You ok?" Bill said with a chuckle and a smile. I shook my head. "Yeah sorry." I grabbed his out-stretched and as he helped me up. "I- I'm y/n." I looked down and pushed my hair back. "Oh! So you're y/n! I've heard so many amazing things about you. Congrats on landing the lead actress job. You must be proud." He smiled at me and put his hand on my shoulder. I looked up and smiled at him. "Yeah well someone has to make the writers jokes somewhat funny." We both laughed. "I should finish cleaning up." I looked around at the mess and sighed. "Here!" Bill bent down and picked up a few cups, dropping them into the garbage bag in my hand. "Let me help." He smiled, putting his hand on my wrist. I looked down at it then quickly back up to him and smiled. "That's really sweet but I offered to do it. I don't wanna seem like a slacker on my first day." I laughed and put my other hand on top of his. "Thank you though." He looked at me and nodded. 

"Well it was an absolute pleasure meeting you, Miss y/n." He took my hand and bowed. "Oh the pleasure was all mine, Mr. Bill." I curtsied. "Oh my god please never call me Mr. Bill. I sound like an old ass pedophilic teacher in a dumpy high school." We both laughed and Bill walked out of the room with a final wave. I smiled to myself before having a silent dance party in the room, the only sound being the trash bag in my hand whipping around relentlessly. I danced for a solid five minutes before I heard a voice from the doorway. "Woah you're having a dance party without me?!" I immediately stopped and turned around to see who was at the door. "Andy!" Relived by who it was, I ran over and hugged him. He hugged my back. "I thought we were friends. Shame on you." He said, releasing from the hug. We both laughed. "Congratulations man! I'm so proud of you." Andy said, punching me a few times in the arm. I laughed and rubbed it. "Thank you. I'm sad you didn't come to the party. I missed your face." I booped him on the nose. "Yeah I know I'm so sorry." He rubbed the back of his neck and looked down. I looked at him for a moment and punched him in the arm.

"You're fine loser. How about I take you out to lunch? My treat?" I said, fluffing his hair. "No. Not a chance. I missed your party so it would be my treat." Andy pushed my arm away. "Now let's get this mess cleaned up so we can go. I AM HUNGRY WOMAN!" We both laughed and cleaned the entire office up. After we left and said goodbye to everyone, being that we were done with the day and were given permission to go home, Andy and I went to our go-to diner, Broadway Bites. We loved that place because each meal had a itty bitty performance. We always laughed and sang along to our favorite meals. Andy's favorite was "Guns and Chips" which was just fish and chips. Mine was "The Whole Beans and Rice Thing". After lunch, Andy and I walked back to my house and hung out, catching up on some of our favorite shows like SVU and Law and Order. 

"You know I've been thinking about writing a show about detectives." Andy said to me. 

"Really? That doesn't really seem like something that would suit your style." 

"I don't know. I feel like it would be really good. Instead of it constantly being drama, it would be a comedy. It could be based in New York, you know. Maybe you can star in it!!"

"That's sweet Andy actually write the show, then we'll talk."


We must have watched T.V. for hours because when we decided to take a break, it was 10 pm. "I should get going." Andy said, standing and stretching. "Awe man, so soon? We've only been hanging out all day." We both laughed. "I would stay but I have a shit ton of stuff to do tomorrow." Andy grabbed the soda cans that were on the coffee table and took them to the kitchen. "Yeah me too. Look at you acting like an adult." I grabbed the remote and hit the off button. From the kitchen I heard Andy laugh. "I know crazy right." I quietly laughed and started looking for my phone since it probably fell into the couch. "Hey can you help me look for my phone?" I asked, calling to Andy. He walked into the room and started looking around. "Aha!" He said. I stood up and turned around to see him walking to the dining room table. He picked it up and looked at it. His eyes widened. "What is it?" I said, cleaning up the couch cushions I had thrown all around. "Why is Bill Hader texting you?" I shot up. 

"Hey y/n. I'm glad we got to meet today. You seem really cool and I hope we can hang out more. It's Bill by the way. I got your number from Fred. " Andy read the message aloud. My face turned cherry blossom red. "Wow that's the longest text I've ever seen from Bill. You only met him today?! Don't you have, like, a HUUUUUGE crush on him?" A devilish smile grew on his face. "Yessss but don't you DARE say anything to him. I would die." I sid, walking over to him and taking my phone. "What should I say? Do I reply to him? Or would that be rude since he texted me 36 minute ago?" I started to panic a bit. "Calm down nut job. Text him back. I'm gonna head out though, so don't do anything stupid." Andy rubbed my head and gave me a side hug. "Can I give you cab money? You've done so much for me today." I said, hugging him back. "Nah you're good. Thanks for letting me hang." Andy walked over to the door. "Anytime Samberg. Se you tomorrow!" I called out as he closed the door and locked it. I looked back down at my phone. "Ok y/n. It's cool. You're just texting the man you've been in love with forever. No biggie." I said to myself. I sat down on my couch and changed his contact from his number to "Bill H."


Bill H.

Bill H.:

Hey y/n. I'm glad we got to meet today. You seem really cool and I hope we can hang out more. It's Bill by the way. I got your number from Fred.

Me:

Oh hey Bill! Sorry for just getting back to you! I was hanging out with Andy watching T.V. for a terribly unhealthy amount of time lol.




I hit send on the message and waited for a reply. Not even 30 seconds later, my phone went off. I looked at the lock screen. 


Bill H.

Bill H.:

Hey! It's all good. I didn't you and Andy hung out. Are you guys together or something?



 I smiled to myself and opened the message to reply.


Me:

No we aren't dating. He's my childhood best friend and we moved to New York together after high school because we both went to the same college. He's actually the one who convinced me to join SNL!

Bill H.:

That is so cool! Good to know that I have someone to ask if I want to know more about you :)

Me:

Well if you want to know more about me, just ask me! I'm here to talk :)

Bill H.:

You are absolutely right! Maybe you should come over to my house and we can talk and stuff.

Me:

That sounds like so much fun! When are you free?

I froze at what Bill said next. I didn't know whether or not I should be happy or if I should be shocked. Either way, he had DEFINATELY caught me off guard.
