"Your boss wants to see you, Chloe." Your secretary walked in a while you were inside your office working on a new basketball game report.
You looked up while you wore your big nerdy glasses, with your haired tied up from a messy bun and a casual sweater and jeans, "Huh?"
Chantel sighed, "He says it's important." she paused, "And that it's urgent as well."
You gave Chantel and questionable look but stood up, "Uh... sure..."
You walked out of your office area and into the hall way to find the CEO of NBL News Coverage.
You found him on his laptop in his big office room. You knocked on the glass door and he looked up. He was wearing a suit as usual, over his over weight body. His face was newly shaved and he ushered you to come in.
"Chloe, sit." He gestured you to the seat in front of his oak desk. You sat down on it. He gave a very big sigh. A sigh so big, you kind of flinched from it. Then he coughed and rummaged through his documents behind his back. You tried to look over what he was doing, but his fat body was blocking. Then he turned around, holding a news magazine.
"Chloe, do you know why you're here?" Your boss asked.
You shook your head, "No, sir."
He laughed, a quite mean laugh. He always came to you as a threat or some one that can make fun of you, you tried to avoid it but he always comes back around. He threw the magazine hard on his oak desk, you jumped. "This." He turned the magazine towards you, "This is why you're here."
You looked at his mean expression for a few seconds then down to the magazine. It was the magazine called Sports Stars. This magazine was full of gossip about different athletes from different sports and teams. The front cover showed a basketball player, he held a girl in his arms while he kissed her. That girl was covered by his huge hands so the camera didn't get a full shot of the girl but... the magazine predicted it was someone. You knew exactly who those two were. You looked down at the different angles of shots the paparazzi got then in big bold letters: Aomine Daiki's secret lover?! Is that Chloe? THE Chloe?! You cleared your throat and looked away. Your boss laughed a little then turned to you, "You know who they are?"
What a stupid question. "Of course."
Your boss leaned forward a little, "Then tell me. Who are those two people."
You looked directly in his eyes. "The man in the photo is Aomine Daiki, the ace of New York basketball Panthers. The girl is me."
Your boss' eyes widened, "And you're proud of that?!"
You shrugged, "What else am I suppose to do than tell the truth?"
"Smart girl."
"Mhm."
"You listen carefully, young lady," Your boss said quietly, "I don't want to have another one of your PATHETIC romantic moments on this magazine ever again." He screamed, "You hear?"
You nodded.
"God, I didn't hire you to fall for this guy." He muttered.
You looked at your boss. A little mad, you said, "I didn't fall for the guy."
"OH really?!" Your boss started to point at the magazine wildly, "This is not falling for the guy?"
"He kissed me, I didn't kiss him fir-"
"But you let him!"
You opened you mouth to say something but nothing came out. A second later, you closed it.
Your boss pinched the bridge of his nose then sighed, "Look, yesterday, before ANY of this happened, you got yourself another project." He sat down on his chair, "It was to document a little of the Panthers' training and daily exercises." You sat up a little straighter. You seemed interested in this tiny project, your boss knew you always liked to go into the field and start shooting something, "But then THIS." He pointed at your kiss, "THIS bullshit happened and I don't know what to do anymore!"
"Why not? It's not like he cha-"
"Chloe, you are one of my best employees here. How can you let this happen?"
You sat up a little and looked directly into those grey eyes, "Let me do this." Your boss shook his head, "Please. I know you may feel a little uneasy about this, but it was just a kiss. Nothing more happened between that guy." You glanced a little at Aomine's face, "I won't let you down, sir."
Your boss gave a little laugh, "Well, when did you ever?"
You smiled.
"Alright then. If you blow this though," He said sternly, "I'm afraid you will be replaced and downgraded as Chantel's secretary."
Your eyes widened, "Wait. Chantel is going to take my place if-"
"If you don't do this job properly."
That bitch. You didn't know she was that kind of person. What the hell...? "When did she say this?"
He shrugged, "Around a week ago."
A week ago was when she gave all my fucking personal details to that prick. I am so going to kill her. "Alright. Well," You stood up, "I'm going to talk to her about this." Your boss knew you were fuming with anger.
"Wait."
He stopped you and you looked at him before you opened the glass door. Your boss gave you a pile of paper. You walked over to look at it, "You have a lunch meeting with one of the players tomorrow." The papers were questions and details about the player and for the player. "Of course we want to start big and then go down easy, so you will be interviewing the MVP." You looked at the name.
"Sir, that is-"
"Yes, the guy you kissed last night." Your boss said while folding his arms, "It's Aomine Daiki."
You stormed into your office room, where Chantel was waiting. She was sitting on a chair with her laptop in her hands. You walked in, you pointed at her, "You!"
She looked at you and shrugged, "Me."
You walked right in front of her sitting form, "You! You set me up!"
"Oh," She said, "He told you about the swapping."
"Oh my god, I knew it!" You cried, "I knew you wanted him to have all of my personal details! For me to fall down and just fucking-" She coughed from your foul language, " fall in love with him! I won't fall! I won't fucking fall!" You screeched.
"Really? 'Cause it really seems like you ARE falling for him."
You laughed, "Oh please! In your filthy dreams!" You paced back and forth while Chantel stood up from her chair, "You know what?" You said, "I should fire you right now." Chantel took a step back, "Yeah! I should fire you right this instant! I'm going to te-"
"You can't fire me!"
"Oh yes I can!" You cried, "You are my secretary! Under my circumstances!"
"Well too bad, BABE." She remembered how Aomine called you that, "You can't fire me because your boss and I had an agreement."
"Hah! Oh yeah?" You said, "What is it?"
"The deal was for me to stay and if you fail. I will take your spot, whether you like it or not!" She shouted.
You stopped talking. A pregnant pause was made. You finally let go of your breath and packed your bag while you laughed at her. Chantel felt a little surprised. "Fine." You said, you smiled at her, "Fine! Have it your way!" You took your bags, "I mean, at least I'm not a 40 year old woman who has a finally with a few children and husband trying to wreck her boss!" Chantel opened her mouth but you weren't finished, "Have a nice day." You walked out of the door, "Oh!" You almost forgot to say something, "I'm going to get this fucking project, done and perfected."
You left.
You dialed the number on the document you were holding. You couldn't believe you were going to call him, but you had to. You lay on your bed, with your pajamas on about to sleep. There were 5 ringing tones until he picked up.
"Wow," He said, "I didn't expect you to call me."
"Yeah well I had to."
He laughed, "So how may Aomine Daiki please you?" You paused, "Want another kiss?"
You flinched, "No! Nothing like that! Geez..."
"Woah there, did I put you off guard?"
"Kind of..."
"Damn. I did it!"
You whined, "Oh my god, can I just talk?!"
"Babe, you sound a little tired and frustrated..."
"I had a rough day..."
"Oh really?"
"Mhm..."
"Want to talk about it..." Aomine tried.
Your eyes widened, "Oh my god."
"What."
"You would put your big fat ego aside and talk about my problems?"
"What eg-"
"I feel so touched!" You put a hand on top of your heart, "This is the second time."
"Oh, so you counted." Aomine's husky voice sent shivers down you spine.
"Pfft. Counting up to two is like counting up to nothing." You sighed, "But yeah... I had a rough day, no big deal and all, I just needed to call you beca-"
"Because you miss me?"
There goes the ego. "No, because I have this project from my job."
"Sounds interesting, what is it?"
"I get the opportunity to interview and document the panthers' daily training and living for a few weeks!" You exclaimed.
"Wow." Aomine said, "I'm impressed." He paused, "But still, why did you have to call me?"
"Because I need a plan a meeting with you." You said.
"You mean a date?" Aomine tried.
"I mean an interview section." You heard Aomine groan on the other line, "Hey! It's not like I want to do it!" But you kind of had to.
"Fine fine. So what time do I have to be at the studio?"
"Not the studio. It's just a casual meet up with out cameras. I'll be documenting your questions on a notepad."
"Oh sweet." He sighed, "I get the day off tomorrow so we can have brunch or something while you do me."
"That sounds so wrong but okay."
"Hey, you were the one who said it was wrong."
You rolled your eyes, "Where?"
"This place called The Brunch. Really cliche but it's awesome." He shuffled a bit, "I'll text you the address."
"Okay, let's meet there at 11."
"Sure, babe." He laughed, "Damn, I thought we were going slow in this relationship."
"Oi! There is no relationship going on!" You huffed, "Just a casual interview!"
"Over brunch. SO it's a date!"
"No it's not!"
"In my book it is."
You groaned, "Oh my god, I feel sorry for your future wife. Having to put up with your shit."
"Heh, maybe my future wife would be you~"
"In your dreams pal."
"I'll be dreaming about you tonight."
"Oh my god, barf."
"Your so sweet." Aomine said sarcastically, "It touches my heart."
You rolled onto your side, "So, tomorrow at 11 in that typical name for brunch restaurant."
"Yeah babe." Aomine's voice sounded a little sexy. Shit brain! Don't do this to me!
"Ok..." You yawned. "I'm going to crash now."
"Mm, I wonder how you sleep..." Aomine kept imagining.
"Hah, you will never know." You laughed, "Good night Mr. Aomine Daiki."
Aomine chuckled, "See you tomorrow, babe."
