CHAPTER 5.
"Can you pick your jaw up off the floor before you come in? It's not very professional." He says, smirking at me as he walks into the office, letting the door close behind him and leaving me outside. I close my mouth and try to recover, I was pretty sure I had dropped my coffee. Why didn't he tell me this before? And why is he so young? My Mum should be friends with older people, not people my age. I pull my hand through my hair, I didn't bother tying it up this morning, I just brushed it and let it fall down my back in its natural wave. I take a deep breath and walk through the door, the first floor looks kind of small, but it's stylish, modern and clean. I'm greeted by an older lady sitting at a large desk, the only one in the room. Reception desk. I smile and walk up to her.
"Hi sweetie how can I help ya?" She asks me with a country accent, a big smile on her face.
"I have an interview today." I tell her.
"Who with honey?"
"With the boss." I say pathetically, but she keeps smiling.
"With Mr.Reid?" She asks, or rather tells me. I smile and nod. "What's your name?"
"Callie Eden." She clicks a few things on the computer and looks back up at me.
"Mr.Reid will be ready for you soon Callie. If you want I can get someone to help you find his office." She offers.
"Yes, thank you." She picks up a black phone from her desk and presses a button on the bottom of the reciever.
"Hi, do you have a few minutes? I need you to come down to my desk." I could hear a muffle on the other end of the phone. "Okay, thank you baby." She puts the phone back on the reciever. "Someone will be down soon, you can sit over there for now." She addresses me, pointing to a chair on the other side of the room. I go and sit down, fidgiting with my skirt. What seems like ten nervous hours later a young man walks out of the lift and leans over the counter to talk to the lady at reception. I can't hear what they're saying but they both look at me so I get the feeling it's about me. The mans surfy blonde hair is smoothed back perfectly and his light brown eyes fixed on me. I looked down at the ground, embarressed to be talked about and stared at. It feels like the first day of school all over again. I hear footsteps walking towards me and I look up to see the man walking towards me. I quickly stand up and straighten my skirt. He stops in front of me and smiles warmly, I feel myself smiling back at him.
"I'm Nathaniel, you can call me Nat." He says, taking me by surprise and giving me a hug.
"Callie." I say, giving him an awkward pat on the back before he pulls away.
"Nat hurry up before Mr.Reid kicks your ass." The lady behind the reception shouted in our direction. I see Nat roll his eyes before linking his arm with mine and leading me to the lift. "Callie?" The lady calls to me, I turn towards her. "My name's Beth." I smile and Nat pulls me into the opened lift. He presses the number three, it doesn't take a genius to work out we're going to the third floor. The door shuts and Nat lets out a loud sigh, I turn my head to look at him. He's not that tall but he is definetly taller than me. I'm a short ass. He looks at me and winks, I raise my eyebrows at him.
"Are you gay?" I ask him, taking myself by surprise. He frowns and looks at the ground, I can see that his cheeks have turned slightly pink. "Oh my gosh, i'm so sorry I didn't mean to be rude or anything."
"No it's fine. Yes, i'm gay." He confessess, looking at me breifly before again looking at the ground. "How did you know?" The lift dings and opens to the third floor. The third floor is huge! I can see about twenty office desks scattered around the room, every desk has the owners personal touch. I can see a large sliding door at the far end of the room it looks like it leads to an office, most likely Mr.Reid's. I can feel Nat staring at me, watching my reaction and waiting for my answer to his question. We both step out of the lift at the same time.
