Max's POV
As we walked into the building, it was impossible for me to ignore the excited looks Ross was giving me.
"What?" I finally asked.
"Oh nothing." Ross replied smiled. Tim chucked at how happy Ross sounded.
"Aren't you supposed to be against this sorta thing" Tim asked.
"Oh believe me, I normally am. She went on a date with this one guy and I was against that. But Max is different" Ross explained as we climbed the steps to the office.
I rolled my eyes at his little speech, secretly smiling at how overprotective he was.
"How so?" I asked holding the door for them as we walked in.
"Because if you hurt her, I can just walk into your room and yell at you." Ross 'threatened'
Again, I rolled my eyes. "Oaky first I just want to say that I think you're getting way ahead of yourself buddy. I mean we don't even know what's gonna happen after today. Second, you're not threatening in any way"
Tim laughed and Ross shrugged his shoulders "I don't need to be threatening. I think y/n is plenty threatening for the both of us"
"That is a very true statement" I replied. Tim and I raised our hands as a goodbye to Ross as we split ways to go to our desks.
"You nervous?" Tim asked.
Why did Ross have to say something. "Yes of course I am."
Tim just nodded his head and sat down. I was thankful for the conversation to end. I think I might be making this bigger than it needs to be. It's not the end of the world if she says no. I mean it might totally ruin what friendship I had with her and she may go back to hating my guts again.
I cringed and mentally scolded myself. This type of thought is just gonna make the whole experience worse for myself.
"Come on Penny, I was ten. Ten!" I heard y/n exclaim as she rounded the corner laughing with her friend linked to her side.
"Still doesn't change the past" Penny laughed back. I watched as y/n rolled her eyes, but still smiling at her friend.
"Hey Maxy!" She yelled as she grabbed Jordan's empty chair and pushed herself so within seconds, her chair was colliding with mine. We laughed and I pushed her chair back a little.
"You know normal people just say 'Good morning'" I laughed as she made her best puppy dog face.
"First thing you learn about me Max, I'm not normal" she got up and pushed the chair back to his desk. Only thing was that it hit the side and bounced back towards Penny who was standing off to the side.
Penny grabbed the chair and pushed it, rather hard, into y/n. Y/n just looked between Penny and the chair before giving out a battle cry and jumping at Penny. All the editors that were there jumped a little and turned to watch as Y/n tackled Penny in a hug while they were both laughing their heads off.
"That was terrifying, what was that?" Tim asked me.
I just shrugged my shoulders and watched as Penny tried hitting the other girl off.
