Chapter 6

First Job

Waking up and stretching the tiredness away, I roll off my printed bed sheets and glance at the clock, 6am. I think 'Wow I haven't been up this early in a long time' – then dawns on me. Today I go to work. My first job. Reflecting on how fast I have been given this opportunity, I realise it has all happened extremely quickly and there must be a huge reason why I am employed in a matter of days, but pushing this thought aside I tell myself to find the answers today, or at least have them answered for me.

Pulling on my Jeans and a loose jumper, I make my way into the kitchen and get ready to go to work. Shuffling around the apartment I slowly make progress in the art of being productive in the morning, and finally make my way out the door, into the streets of London.

Passing by commuters on my way to the big red building, I see a flash of a bright yellow, red and blue spotty patchwork shirt through the crowds walking briskly in my direction, I instantly know it's Dan from the clothes but the figure has his hood of a jacket up- I raise my hand to say hi, he but seemingly not notices me as he darts off the left into an obscure shop.

I realise maybe lots of people in London might have a similar shirt, I didn't even see his face. Carrying on down the street towards the tube, battling and weaving through hundreds of people I pass every day, I have an eerie feeling someone is watching – or worse following me.

Hurrying down the escalators, slightly worried of this feeling, I resort to it just being the nervous outlook of going to my first job. Finally arriving at the BBC building the feeling still has not passed, quickly whipping my head around in an effort to catch any potential stalkers, I see a glimpse of another figure darting behind the tall sculpture which would pass as a small building. The same colourful shirt and alarmed feeling still present, I pick up my pace of walking into the building, to be met by Alistair once again.

'Maddy! Hi there! Glad you could come at such short notice!' His bubbly attitude and wide eyes takes me back once again, I forgot what a character he is.

'Um yes, I mean hello – Glad I could be here! Very Thankful actually'

He gives a small chuckle then, 'yes well we were desperate, and have been looking for a while now, it was almost fate you called!' His eyes jumping open even wider than they already are at 'fate' I feel his bubbly personality may hinder him someday. 'Anyway, follow me please!'

I do as told after nodding lightly at him, and proceed to walk down the same corridor I did so only days earlier. Suddenly remembering the mystery stalker I subtly look over my shoulder once again to check any advances on the figure. Nothing.

We walk for about 2 minutes as my mind drifts to theories of the 'stalker in Dan's shirt'. Theory 1 – It is Dan. Theory 2 – Some creep following me (mental note be very worried) or the most sensicle Theory 3 – My feelings for Dan are persuading me to hallucinate him around me. Honestly I think there hasn't been one moment today Dan has somehow flittered into my daily thoughts.

'SO this will be where your art will go' Alistair snaps me back to reality as he brings me past the live lounge and the green room into a studio with a glass wall. He points at a large black wall opposite 2 microphones with a complicated looking button desk set up and a large window, and I follow his finger up to see 4 blank slightly less faded squares on the wall where presumably previous presenter's art was before. 'Just here' he gestures to where I was looking, and then continues 'I mean you will probably have to do some research into what the guys want, Their viewers will be able to see it so it better be good!'

'Wait, viewers?!' I question him my eyes wide with alarm, I thought it was a RADIO show?

'Oh yes, it's a new Visual radio show, we specified in the ad remember?'

'Ah yes' Embarrassment washes over me as I do recall reading something like that, I feel my cheeks pinken and untuck my hair from my ears to slightly cover my face.

Alistair clears his throat breaking the temporary silence, and says 'So you will have to talk them to see what specifically they want, I expect they will be in tomorrow to prepare for the show, every Sunday from 7-9pm by the way'

'oh okay, thanks for the info, what shall I do right now?'

'I hear you do all your work with your own equipment in your studio? So I guess all to do now is fill out paper work and wait for you to talk to them tomorrow!' He passes me a wodge of papers and makes the facial expression of expecting me to jump on it and complete it all that very second.

I subside, and then take the next 30 minutes filling out strenuous paper work with repetitive questions. My mind wandered to Dan at least once, and I just couldn't get his chocolate eyes, tousled hair and beautiful hands out of my subconscious. I swear he hasn't left there since I met him, and thinking about him made the task of writing considerably longer and harder to do.

Finishing the last of the signing and information putting in – my phone buzzes. It's a Text from Dan:

'Still up for tonight? We found the best place to go have dinner! :)'

Suddenly remembering our plans I quickly text back:

'Sure am! Okay will you tell me or is it a secret? ;)'

Putting my phone down and giving Alistair the paper work, I check the time, nearing 3, I tell Alistair I will see him tomorrow, and hurry home.

Opening my apartment, my keys jangling, I wince as the sunlight reflects from my window into my eyes, and take off my coat to sit down at my laptop once again. Although this time, I have a task at hand. 'Research' on who Dan and Phil really are. I lift the laptop lid and load Google up, and quickly type 'Dan and Phil' apprehensive of the results, and scared whether I should really invade their privacy if Dan didn't want to tell me himself, I quickly battle with myself in my mind before closing the tab before the results load.

I am not ready yet. I have come so close, but I respect Dan. He can tell me tonight if he really wants to. Instead I decide to make a list I can raise, or at least think over tonight at Dinner.

1. What is your obsession of Llamas?

2. Why did Tara Fangirl over you?

3. What did you do last night?

4. What exactly do you do at the BBC?

Okay so the list turned out to be 'How to interrogate Dan and Phil' instead of a conversation starter, but I will stick with this for now.

DAN'S POV

'Phil!' I shouted 'PHIL!' Right this is getting out of hand I have never been this freaked out over a girl in my life.

'PHIL!' Finally he responded,

'What Dan? I'm editing!' He called from his bedroom.

'Come here a second! URGEANT!' I jumped up from the pile of clothes surrounding me in my room, tossed aside from rejected outfit choices.

'What do you want?' He almost panted poking his head around the door, his eyes slightly alarmed.

'I have NOTHING to wear tonight!'

'Oh my god Dan. You're a guy not a Teen Girl! What's up with you?!'

What is up with me?! All these emotions, longing for this person, I know is too inconvenient in my life right now to even consider, and yet I am freaking out on what the fuck I am supposed to wear for a celebration of her job.

And that, she has a JOB at the same place I DO. This situation makes it ten times worse.

'HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO NOT NOTICE HER PHIL?!' I feel the emotions almost uncontrollably pour out of my mind, all onto Phil, who's expression shows that he is suddenly even more alarmed and worried for why I just shouted something so obscure at him.

'Dan I- I honestly Don't know- Who?! What's wrong I don't-'

'Maddy Phil! Didn't you hear?! She's got a job in the same BUILDING as us!' I'm in hysterics and can feel my face burning. I honestly don't care if I am scaring Phil. I need to tell someone and he's the closest friend I have.

'Oh Dan I didn't know- her job or this!' He quickly gestures to all of me and steps into my room, 'just calm down! Breathe! Why is this such a problem?!'

'I've never been in love before Phil! Never! What am I supposed to do?!'

'Well why would I be the person to talk to?..' He is talking slower now, more careful- 'I've never been in love either- this situation is new to me too you know. Even in the light of things Buffy is still the one for me'

Looking up from my eyes darting around my room I splutter and laugh 'true Phil.' I tell my elf to breathe and pick myself up off the floor.

'Why is this bothering you so much? Treat it casual I say. Just act like tonight is about her I guess' Phil is actually giving my girl advice. I never thought I would ever be in this position, I always thought I would be all over this type of thing when the time came, but now let alone actually needing help on it is still astonishing to me.

'Yeah sure thing' My eyes are still slightly wet and my red still pink and Phil leans on the door, still talking tentatively.

'Do.. you want to tell her? I mean I realise you are conflict...ed.. with yourself here right?'

I snort and fix my hair, which has ended up sticking up at weird directions from multiple t-shirts being taken on and off. 'I don't know Phil. I really don't know what to do'

'Well what time did you say we would meet Maddy tonight?'

'I didn't' Looking up from staring at the dismal pile of my iconic shirts.

'Text her, Dan. Ask her what time, baby steps you know? Take it from there I guess'

'Thanks Phil.' I snort and laugh a bit, 'Who knew you would have such good advice? Picking old Dan up off the floor'

'Well I know you not the type to flail out over clothes, and you have been acting weirdly lately- I knew something was up. Just work through it okay?' He finally says as he shuffles out of my room, still a worried concern in his eyes and leaves me to pick myself up, draw myself composure once again. And get back to being the 'confident' Dan.
