"Dude? You're going as James Bond?" Jeremy asks while eating his apple and sitting on my bed
"You know eating that apple makes you look like an asshole. And I look good in this suit plus it gives me confidence, so when I confess to Cat I won't stumble on my words"
Jeremy throws the apple core in the dustbin and says "so you finally are telling her, good job man. I'll call to ask how it went"
Finally here at the office. It's decorated in black and orange with many refreshments and music playing. People worked hard for this.
But where are Catherine and Jenna? I look over at Cat's office and see that the lights are on so they are in there; I go and talk to some of the guys from sales
After some time Jenna comes out of Cat's office. But Catherine isn't with her so I go up to her and ask "hey where is Catherine?"
Jenna looks up at me and smile and says "she's r-really busy"
But it’s Halloween, why would she be working on a holiday, I think about asking
Jenna holds my arm and drags me to the bar and says "I'm super thirsty so let's get something to drink, okay?"
I just smile and say "ya sure"
Hours pass by and Catherine still doesn't leave her office, at one point I went out since I got a call from Jeremy. He starts asking if I confessed or not and when I said no, he hung up.
When I came back she wasn't there but people were talking about her and her dress. I start getting jealous since I never got to see her
When the party is almost over I decide that I should go and help her at least, so I enter her office
"Jenna I'm going home, so you can stop worrying about me confessing to Matt" she says with her back towards me.
Oh my god.
She turns but she's looking down at a file and says "so you can calm down and also it's just a crush so I'll get over it. Hey why haven't you fixed these typos? I'll do them now before leaving so just go have fun" finally she looks up
Silence, complete silence.
The music drowns out and all that's left is silence.
She likes me? She actually likes me?
A spotlight on her, just she and I are in this room, in complete damning silence
Finally my body starts to move and my moth moves too. But the things I say are just because of the excitement and happiness I'm feeling
"You have a crush on me?" I ask, I walk up to her, oh no what am I doing? I should just confess and leave.
She says “yes, I like you, but I do not love you and I have no interest in dating you but I thought telling you might stop it."
I stare at her and think 'this is my chance to tell her how I feel, FINALLY' "I like you too. I was just too shy to tell you" I say and hope she heard me since I’m speaking way too quietly
She shakes her head and says "No, I can't be with you"
I just look at her, well then there is only one thing to do, "I'll wait then"
"What?! Don't wait" she says while blushing and I smile.
I do love her and if this is the only way to get her to trust me then I have no problem
I say "I'll wait as long as it takes for you to trust me"
She sighs and looks around the room and then says "then I'll make you fall out of love for me!" as if I would just move on from someone like her.
I shake my head and say "that impossible" she starts to blush again
She looks so cute when she blushes, I just want to make her happy
"I'll wait until you trust me, and then I'll confess to you again" I say and smile.
She likes me, but is too scared that I'll hurt her so I have to wait until she trusts me
"But I, you, I-I" she says, she wants to say something but can't "don't worry. And hey you can place that file on my desk, I’ll check it over" I say and then walk towards the door
I feel so bad-ass like I'm in a movie, alright got to say something cool before I leave
I say "you look beautiful by the way" and I walk out, holy shit this suit has magic powers
'Oh my god' I think over and over again in my head, this is just like the movies and books, holy shit
"Hey where did you go?" Jenna asks, worried
I say "it seems Cat likes me and I just confessed to her"
Jenna stares at me and then hugs me tight and goes on to tell me how she had to lock Catherine up. Because she worried something would happen.
Finally Cat comes out of the office and Jenna and I turn to look at her, she likes me? This beautiful, hilarious, smart, amazing woman likes me? I wave to her and I see Jenna give her a thumbs up
She rolls her eyes but then smiles while blushing
I'm so glad I met her
