“Spencer, Mr. Boris needs you in the conference room.” Jess said through the intercom.

“I’ll be right there.” I stood straightening my pencil skirt.

It had been two weeks since Harry had called work and we talked things through. I had been going through the motions of my daily routine. Get up, eat, get ready, go to work, work all day, go home, eat, call Harry, and sleep. Then I get up and repeat it all over again.

Things with Harry had gotten better but still weren’t perfect. We were talking to each other every day and even skyped a few times. Something about it just didn’t feel as right as it should. I was still hurt and I know he probably was too. Over time it would get better but it was just so fresh right now.

I headed towards the conference room, opening the door to almost have my heart stop. There right in front of me sat Zac Efron. I swear I could have fainted.

“Spencer, like you to meet Zac, Zac this my head of design Spencer.”

Zac stood up to shake my hand. I extended mine, smiling bright.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” I said.

“Pleasures all mine.” He smirked. Oh Jesus he was hot.

“Good, now I bring you here to talk design.” Igor said. “Zac need suit for premiere of new movie. I want you to work with him and make perfect design. I have you do everything. He need fitting, fabric choice, pattern. He need it all done still. I let you talk and figure it out.”

“Alright, I can manage that.” I smiled at Igor. This was my first solo job and damn was it a big one.

“I know that why I put you on project. I have meeting at 4, I leave you to it.” He smiled before exiting the room, leaving me alone with Zac.

“I guess we should get started then, yeah?”

“Of course. And I just want to say, I know I get a bad rep about being hard to work with, but trust me this won’t be a problem.”

“I didn’t think it would be.” I tried to be professional. “So let’s start with measurements. Would you mind coming back into my office, all my stuff is in there.”

“Show me the way.” He smiled, opening the door for me. As we walked down the hall we passed Joshs desk. He gave me a wink and fanned himself as if he was too hot. I couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. Once we were tucked away into my office, I attempted to make small talk.

“So Igor said this was for a premiere?” I questioned.

“Yeah, I have a new movie called ‘That Awkward Moment’.”

“Oh yeah, I’ve seen previews for that. It looks good.”

“I’m excited about it.” He smiled at me.

“Good. Okay now let’s start with the shirt and coat.” I took the required measurements and scribbled them down on my notepad. “Alright, would you mind stepping up on the stool?”

“Sure.” He smiled taking the step up.

“Okay, sorry I have to get in your space a little for this one. I need your inseam next.” I blushed, knowing I may have to get close to his business.

“Don’t worry, I’ve had worse things happen down there.” He winked.

Was he hitting on me or was he just generally a pig? Either way I didn’t mind. He was too hot and my mind was in the clouds thanks to the pill that had become my savior as of late.

“Okay, 30”. Now for your waist.” I smiled, draping the measuring tape around him. After getting everything I needed I sat down at my desk, motioning for him to sit across. “So now we have to talk about pattern, color, and fabric.”

“My favorite part.” He said with a sarcastic tone.

“I’ll make this quick and easy so you can get out of here.” I smiled. “Did you have anything in mind?”

“I usually go with wool and silk suit. I’m most comfortable in them. I would like this to be a greyish silver color if that’s possible with a white cotton shirt and a black all silk tie.”

“I can manage all that. Plan fabric or any pattern?”

“I’m not sure. What do you got?”

“Well I can get anything pretty much. I could gather up a few designs and we could meet soon and see if you like any. If you’d want to do that?” I questioned.

“Definitely.” He smiled. “I’ll give you my number and just go ahead and call whenever you find some things.”

“Okay, that works.” I smiled as he scribbled some numbers down on my notepad. “And when do you need this completely finished by?”

“I know this is a rush but the premiere is in a month.”

“That’s no problem. It’ll get done.”

“You sure?”

I nodded. “Is there anything else I can do for you today Mr. Efron?”

“Please, it’s Zac. I know this is business but it’s Zac.”

“Right.” I blushed, I was just so used to calling our clients by the proper last name. I stood up heading towards the door.

“Thank you so much for doing this on such a short notice, Spencer.” He said as we walked towards the elevator.

“Really, it’s no big deal. It is my job after all.” I joked.

“That’s true I guess. And I don’t want to be creepy or anything but I’ve seen your work from school and it’s incredible. If this turns out great, which I’m sure it will, you just might have a customer for life.”

“Let this be my best work yet then.” I smiled for the hundredth time today.

“I’m sure it will be.” He said pushing the down button for the elevator. “You’ll call me soon then?”

“Absolutely. Talk to you soon.” We smiled at each other as he stepped into elevator.

“And I wasn’t lying, the pleasure was all mine in meeting you.” he smirked as the doors closed.

“Ummmm girl, was Zac Efron just hitting on you?” Josh said coming up behind me.

“I think so?” I said not really sure.

“Girl, Harry Styles annnnnnnd Zac Efron? Can we switch bodies for just one day. Please.”

“You’re too funny. It’s just a business deal. I make a suit, he wears it.”

“Then he bangs you in his pent house apartment.” Josh wiggled his eyebrows.

“I’m happily in a relationship thank you very much.” I stuck out my tongue.

“But Spenc, it’s Zac Efron we’re talking about!” he shouted as I shut the door to my office.

“I’m not cheating on Harry!” I laughed plopping down in my chair.

“Whatever, it’s not like he’d even know.”

“Zayn is friends with Zac. I’m sure he’d find out somehow. I’m not even considering it.” I rolled my eyes.

“Oooooh Zayn. He’s a god. Perfectly tan, crisp white smile, dark luscious hair. Can you hook you me up with him?”

“You have a boyfriend Josh!” I laughed. “Stop!”

“Fine, I’ll quit for now. But I’m not giving up on it.”

“Whatever.” I giggled. “So I’m going to need you to do something for me.”

“What’s up.”

“I need you to go to the fabric store and get a couple of swatches of different patterns for this suit. He wants a wool/silk mix in a grey or silver.”

“I can do that. When do you need it by?”

“Tomorrow or Thursday at the latest.” I sighed knowing this was a huge deal.

“Hunnie! Don’t stress I got this.” He grabbed my notepad. “Oh his measurements are so sexy.”

“Josh, I can’t even.” I was laughing so hard at him.

“I’ve been here all day, it’s getting to my head. 15 more minutes and I can go get baked.”


-----------------



As soon as I got off work I called Harry. He had to hear my good news.

"Harry!" I shouted a little too loud on the crowded streets of New York.

"Spencer love, it's 4 am here. Let's calm down with the shouting."

"Sorry I forgot our time differences." I sighed. Damn Australia.

"What's going on that you called?"

"Well I landed a huuuuuge client today!" I squealed.

"Oh yeah how big?" He seemed to be waking up a bit.

"He's basically the dream of every teenage girl and he is a huge actor."

"So it's a he?" I heard the jealousy in his voice. "And apparently a hot he?"

"Don't start with the jealous thing. This is huge for me. It's another step towards the top! Be excited!"

"Love, I think you're excited enough for the both of us." I heard him chuckle, making me groan. "Who is it?"

"Zac Efron!" I said receiving a few weird looks from the passing faces.

"What?" He was definitely awake now.

"Yes he came to us for a suit and Igor wants me to work with him and make it!"

"Be careful Spencer." He yawned.

"Of what? I'm making him clothes." I rolled my eyes.

"He just got out of rehab you know."

"Really? For what?"

"I think coke. I could be wrong though. Zayn is pretty good friends with him actually. Call him later and figure it out."

"Is Zayn into you know...." I trailed off because I was on an extremely crowded street and I didn't want anyone to hear something they shouldn't.

"Not that we know of. He just likes to party, you know drink and smoke weed." Harry laughed at my concern.

"Okay good. I just wasn't sure."

"Hey babe, let me call you back later, I'm completely knackered from last nights show." He yawned again. "I'll be up by 8 so I'll call when I get a moment."

"Alright, get some sleep."

"I love you to the moon and back Spencer Delaney."

"I love you more." I smiled hanging up my phone.

His jealousy was cute but at times scared me. I know it's healthy to worry about your girlfriend but to think I would leave him for some guy I just met is crazy. I surely wasn’t about to tell him how Zac and I interacted. I rounded the last corner to our apartment and instantly felt better. I took the last few steps towards the door, pushing it open.

“Miss McMichael, you’re glowing! Good day today?” one of our neighbors, an older lady, Georgia smiled. She was sitting in the common area of the lobby sipping the complimentary tea it offered.

“Yes, a really good day today.” I smiled taking a seat across from her after getting my own cup of tea.

“And how is Harry?”

“He’s great! He’s in Australia with the band right now.”

“That’s so far away. Is this tour almost over?”

“Yeah, this is the last leg then he’s coming back here to live until the world needs him again.” I chuckled.

“I don’t know how you do it dear. I had a terrible time with Mike when he went on business trips. I missed him terribly and he wasn’t even all the way around the world.”

“It’s hard and I do miss him a lot but it’s all worth it in the end.” I sipped my tea.

She smiled at me. “You two are so adorable.”

“You know I could say the same thing about you and Mike! I hope to be as cute and loving as the two of you when I’m your age.”

“You will be, I have faith in you and Harry.” She smiled bright.

“Speaking of Mike, where’s he at today?”

“He went to the market. He’s cooking us up a special meal tonight. It’s our 54th anniversary.”

“Oh my goodness Georgia, that’s incredible! Congratulations!” I got up to hug her.

After moving into our apartment, we had met Georgia and Mike. They were the cutest little couple ever. We had shared what we did with them because we felt at home around them. They didn’t care who we were or where we came from. They invited us over for dinner one night and I instantly felt like I had made friends for life, even if they were in their late 70s.

An hour later when I had finished talking with Georgia, I finally made it up to the apartment. I was feeling all sorts of emotions. I was happy, sad, lonely, stressed, name it and I was feeling it. I hadn’t seen Kasi and Ana in forever so I gave them a call.

“And I was just about to think that you were too famous for us!” Kasi squealed into the phone.

“Babe I miss you!”

“Miss you more loser.”

“What are you and Ana doing tonight?”

“Nothing as usual!” she laughed.

“Well I got a cut and bong with your name on it.”

“OMG we’ll bring the wine.” I could tell she was smiling ear to ear.

“Come over around 8, I’ll be waiting.” I laughed.

“Love you!” she shouted before hanging up.


-------------



“Okay so do you guys remember Tim Erixon?” Kasi laughed next to me on the couch. We were sitting on my patio, passing the bong Zayn gave me as a ‘house warming’ gift, around.

“Wasn’t he from Port Chester?” I giggled.

“Yes! Oh my god, we hung out with him in high school right?” Ana added.

I thought about it. “Yeaaaaaaah! I remember him!”

“Wellllllllllll I ran into him over the summer when I went home and we exchanged numbers. We’ve been talking for a couple months now and we’ve really been hitting it off. We went out a few times and it’s going so well!”

“KASI!” I shouted. “YOU GOT A BOYFRIEND AND DIDN’T TELL US?”

“He’s not my boyfriend! Yet.” she winked. “I didn’t want to jinx it!”

“So tell us about him! What’s he doing with life?” Ana pried.

“That’s the thing…” Kasi paused.

“He still lives with his parents and is unemployed.” I said.

“Actually he sort of plays in the NHL.” Kasi blushed.

“WHAT?!” Ana jumped up and down.

“Oh that's right! He did play hockey in high school, that’s so exciting! He’s cute and has a good job!”


“But that’s what’s keeping us from going any farther.” she frowned. “He plays for Colombus.”

“That’s not too far. Besides Harry is usually in another country and we make it work. I’m sure if it’s meant to be you guys will work it out.” I grabbed her hand with mine, smiling.

“Yeah girl, and don’t keep us out of the loop that long anymore!” Ana laughed.

“Sorry! I knew you guys would freak out and I wanted to make sure it was a sure thing!” Kasi blushed again.

“So what about Zayn huh?” I joked, remembering her huge crush on him.

“Oh you know just keep him for my back up, just in case.” She laughed. “How is things with Harry though? Still weird?”

“Eh, a little bit. I mean we’re talking a few times a day again and everything, it just seems strained sometimes. Like we’re forcing it.” I sighed, motioning for Ana to pass me the bong. I took a nice long rip.

“I’m sure once he gets back in a couple weeks everything will fall back into place.” Kasi smiled. “He loves you so damn much.”

“And you love him!” Ana said as my phone began to ring.

“Speak of the devil.” I rolled my eyes as Harry’s face lit up across my screen. “Hello?”

“Hey! I’m glad you’re still up!” he said. “I didn’t wake you did I?”

“No! Ana and Kasi are here. We’re gossssssssiping.” I giggled.

“You ladies are getting into shenanigans aren’t you?” he laughed.

“I’m not saying we broke in Zayns gift or anything.” I couldn’t stop laughing at the obscene things Ana and Kasi were doing in front of me.

“Oh so you did.” He said.

“Probably.”

“So what are you girls gossiping about tonight? Or who I should say.”

“Kasi got a boyfriend!” I shouted.

“He’s not my boyfriend!” she groaned.

“Oh yeah?” Harry asked. “Do I know the poor bloke?”

“Oh shush! No, he plays for Colombus’ NHL team! He’s almost famous like you.” I joked.

“That’s hockey, yeah?”

“YES! So tell Zayn he’s got some competition!”

“I’ll be sure to mention he better step up his game.” He laughed along with me.

“What are you guys up to today?”

“We have a day off. We’re going to some zoo to hang out. I hear we get to hold a koala.”

“WHAT?! Pictures or it didn’t happen!” I was excited. I was hoping that I would get to experience things like that with Harry one day. It would be so cool to do things I never would normally get to do.

“I’ll send a few.” He said over a loud commotion.

“Are you busy? I can let you go? I’m gonna go spoon Ana and Kasi soon anyways.” I said.

“OH sounds kinky.” His attention peaked.

“You have no idea.” I whispered seductively, sending the girls into a fit of laughter.

“What else are you going to do, huh? Don’t ruin our sheets now.” He shot back.

“Don’t worry, they’ll be clean when you come home.” I smiled. When he comes home, I loved the sound of that.

“Good, cause we’ll make those plenty dirty on our own.”

“I miss you.” I sighed.

“2 more weeks babe, it’ll go fast.”

“I hope so. Tell the boys we said hi!”

“Same goes your way. Love you.”

“I love you too.”
