Austin's POV

As I sit in my Oval Office that I have occupied for the past two years, I feel myself become bored with life. Right when I feel myself about to doze off, a knock appears at the door. "Come in." I say in the least excited tone of the day. In comes my chief of staff and also one of my best friends Desmond Fischer who I just call Dez. "Yeah, Dez?" I ask sipping on a cup of coffee. "There are a few new applicants for the Editor In Chief job." He told me looking at a sheet of names.

"Editor in chief? I already have one Dez." I said sighing at his forgetfulness. "Well, yes but Holly said it's been a lot on her and she doesn't think she can do it all by herself. She thinks she should have someone else who does it part time so she won't be stressed out." Dez explained as I stand up with frustration.

"Excuse me? Holly said she's stressed? Holly said she thinks she needs help? Who the hell does Holly think she is? I'm the President of the United States and she can't handle a couple of bad trash talking articles?" I said pissed off.

He sighs at my tone. "Mr. President, with all due respect, I think you should cut Holly some slack. She's been with us since the beginning and she's always working hard." He said as I slowly started to feel guilty. "Yeah, I guess she's not the only one stressed." I said leaning back on my desk rubbing my nose from frustration. "You wanna talk about it Mr. President?" Dez asked walking closer as I looked up at him. "Dez, you know you only have to call me that around people." I reminded as he nodded his head.

"Okay, well what's going on man?" He said getting more comfortable. "I don't know. This job use to be exciting. When I was sworn in as President, I was ecstatic to be chosen to run this country, but now... I don't know." I said licking my dry lips. "I wish I could say I understand, but for you I hope it gets better." He said standing up to walk out before turning around. "Oh, and Austin. What am I suppose to do about these?" He asked referring to the sheet of names. "I'll interview some people for Holly to have as a partner." I told him as he smiled satisfied.

Ally's POV

I was walking down the street after coming out of my favorite coffee shop when my cell rang. "Ally Dawson speaking." I said into the phone. "Ally Dawson. Long time, no see." I hear a familiar voice as I smirk taking a sip of my coffee. "You know that happens when friends decide to take jobs in the White House." I replied as he laughed.

"How have you been, Als?" He said sincerely. "I've been good, as usual. What about you, Dez?" I asked interested. "Um, the same I guess. But there's a request I have for you." He said as I rolled my eyes. "Of course, you called me for a favor." I said. "No! Not a favor, I actually wanna do you one." He said as I got confused. "Me a favor? What could you do for me Desmond?" I said amused.

"The President needs a second Editor in Chief. Would you care to take the job?" He asked as I stopped walking. "To work for the President? No thanks." I said not interested. "Oh, come on. You know I wouldn't call you unless I knew it would be perfect for you. Give it a shot." He said trying to convince me. "Dez, I'm a full time lawyer who is very successful by the way. I don't need it." I told him truthfully. "It's only part time Ally! I ask you this because you're the best person for this job. You know it. I know it. Please." He said as I sighed at his begging voice and tone. "Fine...I'll interview for it." I said lower as he cheered. "Great, meet in the Oval Office tomorrow at 5." He told me.

"One thing Dez. How the hell do I get into the White House?" I said confused at him not giving me no info. "Oh right. Don't worry, I'll add your name to the list and they'll see it at the gate for potential workers and let you in. Plus, once you get the job, you will have an official White House access id." He explained as I nodded my head even though he couldn't see me. "It's not a guarantee I'll get it, Dez. And honestly I wouldn't be upset if I didn't." I said honestly. "Shut up, you will." He replied assured. "Okay...and the President better not be a dick!" I said seriously. "Don't worry, he isn't. Not all the time anyway." He said laughing a little as I hung up. What did I just sign up for?

Austin's POV

I wake up in my bed next to my...I was gonna say my wife but she's not here apparently. Which is not a shocker. She's more into playing the role of a politician than my wife. Which honestly doesn't bother me because trust me I'm all for woman independence but it doesn't even feel like I'm married anymore. It hasn't felt that way for years.

I get up and head into the bathroom to my wife Melanie who is nicknamed Mel by mostly everyone. She's already fully dressed digging through her purse until she sees me. "Babe, hey." She said kissing my cheek. "Hey." I said grabbing a toothbrush. "So, I'm on my way to the meeting with Queen Elizabeth. Don't forget your meetings to interview Holly's new partner." She reminded me. "I know, I know." I said now brushing my teeth.

"You should be more excited that your wife is meeting the Queen of England. And what did I tell you about brushing your teeth before you get in the shower?" She said as if she was my mother. "It's not normal." I said repeating what I've heard annoyingly to many times.

I sigh frustrated and put my toothbrush down when I'm done. "Babe, I get it. Now why don't you get to your meeting?" I say giving her a quick peck on the lips while she smiles at me. "Okay, fine." She finally said leaving me to be. I get in the shower getting ready for the day. Today goes kinda of slow since I'm not that busy besides the interviews with potential second Editor in Chiefs.

I'm walking my way to the Oval Office when Dez comes up to me. "Hey, all of the potential employees are in my office. There are only five and I'll send in one at a time." He informed me. "Alright, great." I said even though I wasn't enthusiastic to say the least.

As I interviewed each and everyone one of the women who came in, I just couldn't for the life of me see them as my editor in chief. They didn't have the certain spark and fire that all of my hard workers have.

I'm gonna call Dez. "Dez, none of these girls are it for the job. What were you thinking?" I said into the phone. "Austin, there's still one more left. She's in my office. I'll send her in when I get back from the bathroom." He told me. "No, I'll go to her myself." I tell him. "Okay then." He said hanging up as I headed my way to his office where the last applicant was.

I sighed opening the door ready to be disappointed when I see a woman with her legs crossed on top of Dez's desk sucking on a red lollipop. She sees me and screeches jumps off immediately and I know I should be yelling at her for being unprofessional but she looked completely adorable.

I take another good look at her to notice the dark brown hair with light tips at the end. Her hair seems to reach the end of her back. It's really long. I then take a look at her outfit. She's wearing a short black skirt with 5 inch black heels and white collared shirt. "Mr. President." She said fixing her hair as if she's been caught doing something bad. Which technically she has. "And you are?" I say holding out my hand. She looks shocked that I'm not pissed at what I just saw. "Ally. Ally Dawson." She said as a bell rung in my head from the familiar of her name.

"Ally Dawson? Where have I heard that before?" I asked genuinely. "Well, I'm not gonna lie. I'm really good friends with your Chief In Staff Desmond. We've been friends since grade school and he's the one who recommended me for the job in the first place. I wasn't gonna take it in the first place to be honest but- you know what? I'm gonna stop talking." She said stopping herself causing me to chuckle a little.

"Um, it's fine. If you don't mind me asking, why weren't you open to taking the job before?" I asked interested. "I already have a full time job that I'm very successful in. I'm a lawyer." She informs me and that's when I remember. "That's where I recognize your name. You're that famous DC lawyer that works in that lawyer firm with some other lawyers as well, right?" I said as she got amazed that I knew her. "Yeah. We're not just regular lawyers though. I have my own building with my name on it. If we take on a client, we are winning the case no matter what." She said with confidence. "Confident. I like that." I replied. "You can't be successful if you're not confident right?" She said looking into my eyes. "I guess not Ally Dawson. I was gonna bring you into my office to interview you but I'm just gonna give the job." I told her nonchalantly.

"You're just gonna give me the job? You didn't even interview me for the position?" She said confused. "I'm confident that you'll do well working along side Holly. You can't be successful if you're not confident right?" I said repeating what she said stepping closer. "Yeah, I guess not." She said smiling a little. "Well, I'll see you around Ally Dawson. I expect you'll do great things." I say opening the door looking back at her. "I intend too." She said sticking the red lollipop back into her mouth. "Goodbye, Mr. President." She said waving goodbye to me causing me to laugh one more time before heading back to the Oval Office. That was the first time I have genuinely smiled in the last couple of months. She might make the next two years worth while. Well, 6 when I run for President again. Today was actually pretty good.
