"Okay now add the honey" Mason says as I dip my spoon full of honey into the mug. He was teaching me how to make delicious tea. When he heard the "queen of England" myself didn't know how to make good tea he flipped a tit and demanded he taught me. It's a little difficult to do over the phone but I think I'm doing okay.

After stirring until the honey was dissolved into the warm liquid I placed the spoon in the sink and grabbed the mug placing it against my lips and taking a sip.

It was delicious.

With wide eyes I slowly set the cup down and looked at Mason and he grins and nods his head. "I fucking know right?" He giggles like a child and I take a few more sips. Cam came in and flicked my cheek "what are you shortys doing?" He grabs a Caprisun from the fridge and stabs the straw through it. "Making tea!" I smiled and took another sip. "Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?" I choke on my tea and hand the mug to Cameron "shit thanks I'm getting ready now" I quickly run into my room to get my shit looking good.

-Masons POV-

I watched her run around the corner and Cam just chuckled. I sat at my desk staring at my propped up phone. "So she got the job?" I asked and Cam nodded "she got it this morning. The other females weren't qualified and he said Phoenix was the most qualified female to be working as his secretary" Cameron dumped the remaining tea and placed the mug in the dishwasher. "Wait.. a guy?" I squinted my eyes a bit and Cameron smirked "yeah why you jealous?" He teased me "no don't you think it's weird that a male is only looking for female secretary's?" I say and he shrugs "if he tries anything I told Phoenix to contact me immediately I have a tracker on her phone so I can assure you she's in safe hands" he winks at me and I roll my eyes.

She comes around in a tight black pencil skirt with a pastel purple button up shirt that was tucked in properly. Her hair was naturally let down and wavy while she had on that weird mascara thingy. Either way she looked gorgeous. "Hey I have to go I'll cal tonight okay?" I nod and she smiles "talk to you later!" She waves and I wave back and the call ends.

I sit back in my chair and sigh.

Her having a job now is going to suck. We won't be able to talk much and I can't even schedule a surprise visit cause she will just be working. I want a week where it's just us.

No one else. No interruptions.

Logging into my computer I get onto YouTube and read some of the comments and see I haven't posted in a hot second. I should probably upload, I have some footage of the fortnite freak out that Jay, Cam, and I just recorded...

Nahhhhhhhhhhh.

I get up and stretch. I heard the guys downstairs laughing up a storm but I didn't want to go downstairs. I want to be back in New Zealand with Phoenix. Laying down in bed I planted my face in my pillow. She's all I ever think about now, the guys make fun of me for being all cute about it but what else am I suppose to do? She's so fucking pretty and god her smile... just seeing her focus on a tv show makes me smile.

I don't know if that makes me some type of bitch boy or what but I have to see her soon. I pick up my phone and dial Cam.

"Hello?"

"Dude how often does Phoenix work?"

"I don't know.. 4-5 days a week?"

Groaning I rub my face viciously, why does she work so much for a cunt?

"Okay can she get time off work?"

"She just started so I couldn't
imagine she could. Why?"

"I want to either fly there to visit
her or her come here for a few"

"Awe is a little faggot missing
his lady friend?"

Him teasing me like the guys have been for the past week pissed me off like no tomorrow.

"Fuck off"
I hung up and got into my chair looking at flights for New Zealand. "Aye stop what you're doing we're going to the club" Eric comes in and I shake my head no but he grabs me by the collar and drags me out.

-phoenix's POV-

"I need those files faxed over to the number printed above" Hayden hands me a folder and I head over the the printer room and place the sheet of paper on the glass closing the lid. I have found out that Hayden is a book publisher which makes more sense.

He has his own printing room which I cleaned up recently. I've had this job for about 5 days now and it honestly is a breeze. It's like helping mother with the house except...

"PHOENIX. COFFEE"

He's more demanding.

I quickly finish the faxing and heading downstairs to his kitchen to fix him coffee. Opening the cabinets I see coffee tins and then the tea packets next to it. I should give him the tea Mason taught me how to make today! Smiling I grab the tea cup and little plate placing it on the counter and started to make it.

I felt like I was back at home again. I missed my mother dearly... I should see her when I get the chance. I text her everyday and call every night since Mason left.

Finishing the tea I pick up the little plate with the tea cup perfectly balanced on top and take it upstairs. I set the tea on his desk and he looks at it. "I thought I asked for coffee?" He sternly looks at me and I nod "you did but having coffee as much as you do isn't healthy and trust me you won't regret this" I smile and he growls "I'm starting to regret hiring you" he clenched his fists and I felt a wave of sadness hit over me. This is my first job and he already doesn't like me.

"You're excused for the day. You have work tomorrow bright and early" he goes back to his laptop and I quickly leave hopping in the back of the car as Garreth drives me back to the apartment.

-

"He didn't like the tea?" Cam rubs my head as I cry into his chest "he didn't even try it! He regrets hiring me. Why am I so bad at everything" I sobbed and he clutched onto me "you aren't bad at anything he's just a narcissistic prick who thinks he's the shit cause he's a best selling author" he says and I slowly calm down a bit.

"You're right! He didn't even give my tea a try! He just cares about what he wants!" I sit up and form my hands in a fist "yeah! And he probably sucks dick for a living!" Cam shouts and we both go silent and then laugh. This is nice. Natural happiness is nice. Better than bottled up happiness.
