The latest headline was tossed on the stack as Cress collapsed in her chair and sighed in relief.
"Carswell Thorne and Caroline Starr Help Local Small Businesses"
Or making out in a bar. Believe what you want. A catastrophe had been narrowly avoided with that one. That man just didn't know how to do the right thing. She heard the door to her office open and she looked up.
Speak of the devil.
The handsome man stood in front of her smirking as usual, staring her down. She stood and came around her desk to speak to him.
"Carswell Thorne, do you know how many strings I had to pull to get this headline?" she asked, holding up the title. He squinted at the picture, which had been taken at the bar before the making out had commenced, and grimaced.
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I don't know what-" he started, but Cress cut him off.
"I don't want to hear it. You can't keep screwing up like this and leaving behind a million pieces for me to clean up! Eventually there will be nothing I can do about it. The paps nearly didn't give this one up. I had to promise them tips to your location for 3 weeks! But at least I can watch you suffer as they keep mysteriously showing up everywhere you go!" she huffed as she went back to her desk.
He sat in the chair across from her desk and looked down.
Her tone softened and sounded more hurt as she said, "Plus, really? Caroline Starr? You know I'm in charge of your PR. I had to find out. And why? I thought we were going to try and be exclusive? You know, as a couple. And then you go and make out with some Hollywood harlot? Do you not want to be with me?"
"No I just- I got drunk and I was stupid and I haven't really ever been in a real relationship and-"
"Thorne. Come on. Spit it out please. I have another meeting in 15 minutes," she deadpanned, not wanting to hear his excuses.
"Cress, I love you. And I know I keep screwing it up, but it's true. I love you and I only want you. I'm sorry I creating these PR catastrophes. They seem to follow me wherever I go. But I love you," he said standing and leaning over her desk.
She smiled back at him and said, "I love you too." Then she wrapped her hand around his neck and pulled him in for a kiss. They pulled apart but stayed nose to nose, still leaning over the desk.
"Say do you want to come help out a local business with me?" he asked with a smile. She smacked him upside the head.
A/N: HEHE. I know it's absolute crap. I'm sorry :3 Forgive me?
Prompt:
'Can you please act appropriately do you know just how many of your fuck ups I had to cover up last week' AU
