"This freaking job is so fucking amazing! Nothing can fucking top this shit! The pay! The fucking pay Niall! Oh my fucking gosh! Did you not see my new car?! Bought by my fucking bosses bitch! I'm fucking living for it!" Niall rolled his eyes and took a sip of his coffee. "It's not that big of a deal Louis," Liam says and I gave him a look. "Liam, go out there, look at my car, and come back in. Then try to tell me that bullshit again. I paid you guys back and I am fucking living the fucking life bitch." "Oh shut up Louis..." "Nope!" I chirped and took a sip of my tea.
I'm currently hanging out with my friends on my lunch break and we are currently at Anne's Coffee. They talked about how they assumed that I was going to automatically quit or get fired after the first week of working there. They then talked about how surprised they were when they see me lasting so long. I've been working there for about a month, and I'm really fucking living it, so of course I was going to brag and tell them how wrong they were.
"You for sure pissed Ed off at least once," Niall assumes and I shake my head with a big smile. "No actually. He's been impressed with my work around the office lately and they all have been happy with the work that I have been giving them. I mean, I helped Harry buy out Starbucks on my first fucking day and that meeting went so well!"
"That should've gotten you a bonus..." "The thing is... It did! Well not in a way that you think anyways. Harry just gave me his debit card and he allowed me to buy whatever I wanted that first Saturday." "Really....and you don't see that as strange?" "No. He just said that he couldn't give me another bonus because my bonuses are only yearly. He just wanted to say thank you. He's really nice."
"A bit too nice if you ask me..." "What was that Liam?" "Nothing..." "Okay..." I didn't believe him, but I was going to leave it alone. My alarm went off and I looked at my phone, sighing. "Well! That's my que! I'll see you losers later!" I chirped and stood up with my Gucci bag in hand. I walked by the counter and one of the workers handed me a few to-go meals that I've asked for beforehand and I thanked her. I walked out and got into my car, heading right back to work.
When I got there, I clocked back in (on time) and there were a few jealous bitches that talked about how I was late and that I was going to get some shit from Ed for sure. I wanted to tell them off, but I wanted to ask Ed myself to see if I set my alarm wrong...I really hope that I didn't. I've always placed my alarm at 1:20 so that I would make it back here on time. My breaks are always at 12:45, and they told me that I need to be back at 1:30. Which makes my break about 30-35 minutes.
I walked to Ed's office and I knocked on it. "Come in," I heard him say and I opened the door. He was looking at his computer, but he did a small glance my way and he gave me a small nod. "Hey, some women downstairs were talking about how I was late...and that I was going to get some shit-" "Language." He spoke in a scolding manner and that is kind of a turn on for me. I say kind of because he is my boss and I can't be thinking that way towards him. "Sorry. They said that I was going to get some crap from you?" "I don't see why."
He looked at his computer and I saw him type for minute until he looked at me again. "Do you want me to say something?" "Of course I don't. I just wanted to see if my breaks are c-" "Your breaks are from 12:45 to 1:30. I would tell you if anything changed. Now is there anything else?" He asked and I could hear the annoyance in his tone and I frowned. "Cutting people off is rude." "You did that to me during your interview, so don't be a fucking hypocrite. I can always change my mind on you. Now get to work." "Wai-" "Mr. Tomlinson, get to work!" He shouts and I jumped.
"Chill the fuck out Edward," I turned my head and saw Harry walking in. "If you don't want him to use that language with you, then it's only fair if you do the same." Harry looks at me and I smiled at him, saying thank you. He smiles back and he shook his head.
"Don't mind him. He's stressing out trying to add Marcel into the business." "Sweet Style?" Harry nods and I heard Ed sigh. "Well since you are mostly doing the tops, jackets, and everything else that is from the waist up, and if Ed is doing the bottom portion of it including the dresses, then Marcel can do the shoes, the accessories, the bags/purses. That's simple enough, yeah?" I asked and Harry stared at me. I glanced at Ed and I saw him staring at me too.
"What? I've been in your store before and there is no shoe or accessory section. That's all that you guys are missing. Once you have that, then I bet a lot more people would just go to you regularly a lot more. Because there won't be a need to go to another store for shoes."
"We...didn't think of that! What the actual fuck?! That's what we're missing!" Ed cheered and started to type away on his computer. I saw how happy he was and it made me happy to know that I helped him destress. Harry just hugged me and said, "Thanks a lot. We've been on this for a while." "It's no problem. I'm your assistant after all. Here to help." I opened my eyes when I heard movement and I saw Ed walking towards me. I pulled away from Harry and he steps to the side.
What happened surprised the shit out of me. Ed fucking hugged me! I mean his fucking arms were around me! Oh my Jesus.
"Thank you and I'm so sorry for my tone earlier. I didn't have a lot of sleep because of this and... I shouldn't have lashed out on you like that." "And let me guess... You were hungry too?" He nods, pulling away. "You see, being hangry can make your inner demon come out. I've been there many times before. Now, here! I got you guys some food before I left Anne's. I've got something for each of you, so I hope you don't hate it..." "Does it have meat?" Harry asked and I was relieved that he asked that. "Yes, but it's vegan! I didn't want to assume anything, so...."
I turned and walked to the bags by the door. I bent low and I picked the bags up. I turned and walked back to them. They were staring at me and it made me blush this time and i felt rather naked more than anything else. "Oh um...thank you," Harry said and he took the bag. Ed cleared his throat and walked to a little calling thing that he had on his desk. "Marc, Lou brought some food for you." "...um, okay. I'll um...be there in a bit..."
Harry started to pull out each box and I watched him do it. I stood there awkwardly and I was going to move eventually, and when I saw Ed in my preferful vision, I turned towards the door, but that's when Marcel was walking in. "I'm just going to get to work. Let me know how it was!" They nod at me and I walked out of the room.
They've been staring at me a lot lately...I wonder why?
When my office door closed and I knew that Louis was out of earshot, I walked to my phone and I leaned on my desk as I was calling the front desk. "Yes Mr. Edward? Is there anything that you need?" "No. What I do want to know is why am I hearing about our workers talking shit about our assistant?" "Sir, we-" "You are front desk. Nothing greater than that. You have no business being in my own. If Mr. Louis messes up, then we will inform him of it. Not any of you. If you think that I can't find a whole new front desk, then think again. I can have Louis send me applicants in a heartbeat. I can have you all be a fucking janitor if I wish to by the snap of my fingers. Don't test me."
"We just-" "You were slacking off. That's what you were doing. You were too busy talking shit when I know for a fucking fact that there is a lot of shit that needs to be done. If I walk down there and if I see no one typing or writing shit down, then I'm going to be pissed and you will have to file yourselves for unemployment." "I'm so-" "Sorry won't cut it. If Mr. Tomlinson walks into my office again talking about how you were saying some shit about him, then I'll have him list names and I will be firing those names on that list. Got it?" "W-" "Good." I hung up and walked back to my lovers.
"Now what was that about?" Harry asked as I sat next to him. "Oh, Louis was assuming that I was upset with him because he was 'late'." "But he um...he was on time?" "I know baby. He heard the front desk talking shit about him and he assumed that I was going to tell him off." "Well you kind of did..." "I was stressed. That does not count." "It does and you know it." "It doesn't and for that, I'm stealing a bite," I said and took his sandwich. "Hey!" Harry protested and tried to take his sandwich back. I stood up before he could and he chased me till I got to Louis's office.
Louis's head shot up and I told him to shush. "Isn't that Harry's sandwich?" He asked and I nodded with a little laugh. "Can I come in Lou?" Harry asked from the other side. I shook my head at him and he rolled his eyes. "Yes Harry, you can come in."
"No fun," I mumbled and swallowed the bite that I took. Harry opened the door and glared at me. I winked at him and placed the sandwich in his hand. "It's really good by the way." "So is yours. Karma's a bitch hoe," Harry says and walks out.
"How old are y'all again?" "We are the right age Mr. Tomlinson. We are all kids at heart is all," I tell him and he shakes his head, looking back down at his papers. "Oh c'mon. You have never been this way with your boyfriend?" "Don't have one, so no I haven't." "Oh really? I find it really hard to believe that someone like you doesn't have a special someone?" "Well that just happens to the case," Louis says with a shrug. I just hummed and walked out of the office. I walked back to my office and I rejoined my brothers who were chatting it away while eating.
"He's single," I said and that made the two stop talking about whatever they were talking about and look at me. "How do you know that?" Harry asked and I looked at him, telling him what happened after he left Louis's office. "You always make the subject so easy to be brought up..." He tells me and I shrug. "It's been on our minds, so I might as well bring it up, right? Surprised that a guy like him is single though."
"It shouldn't be that much of a shock. The boy is still like 17." I nodded, agreeing with Her y. "Yeah he um... He still has a lot of years ahead of him..." "Lucky man he is... We went the business route of it all..." "Due to trauma Ed. It's a good distraction for us and Louis hasn't faced something like that, so he won't get it for sure." "Yeah um... Can we just... Can we just eat and not talk about it? I don't want to have another attack..."
"Of course. Let's just hurry and get back to work."
