"cmon zach the car is showing up in like 20 minutes"
"fine give me five more minutes"
"I swear to god, I can't wait for you"
I was the guy's manager, our relationship was supposed to be strictly professional but that changed last night. There's always been sexual tension between me and zach and he got the best of me yesterday.
I basically threatened him to not tell anyone. I did like it and I did like him but I didn't wanna show it.
I grabbed my bag to leave since I was meeting the guys in the lobby.
"y/n"
"what zach?"
"you're really beautiful"
I blushed but looked away quickly
"thank you, now get up and you keep your mouth shut about this"
"yeah don't worry, love you"
I rolled my eyes and walked out. I got downstairs and saw I was the first one. They all showed up in the next 15 minutes. Zach shot me some glances but I just ignored him.
We all got in the car, Zach of course sat next to me. I just went through emails on my phone trying my best to ignore the strong energy between us.
He tried to place his hand on my leg, I quickly pushed it off, he got his phone out and typed something. A text notification from him popped up.
"you look cute as ever"
I looked at him, he smiled and I whispered.
"stop"
he shook his head no.
We got to the venue and they did rehearsal, I sat in the greenroom working. I was pretty stressed out and I was experiencing some anxiety which sometimes happens. I took a deep breath bouncing my leg up and down.
The guys came back to get ready, they all noticed I was bit weird, we know each other pretty well so they know to leave me alone when i'm feeling like this.
"you okay?"
"yes"
They asked me, when I looked up they were all looking at me, I got up and walked out not wanting to deal with their questions rightnow.
I soon saw Zach coming over, he looked around to make sure we were alone.
"hey what's wrong?"
"i'm fine"
"you're clearly not"
"leave me alone zach, it was a mistake, just go"
He looked hurt, it hurt me I didn't mean what I said but before I could say anything he walked away. The rest of the evening was definitely awkward, he didn't even look at me even after the show when I explained the following day like we always do, he was just fidgeted looking at the ground.
We got back to the hotel, I took a shower and put on some loose shorts with an oversized t-shirt. I finished my work for the day and put away my laptop, I laid back in bed and thought about the day. I've really ruined everything haven't I.
Before I could think more I heard knocking at my door. I opened the door and saw Zach in his sweats holding a bag of takeout and a bouquet of flowers. I smiled slightly, he's so cute
"I know you hate me rightnow but you didn't come down for food but you need to eat and you deserve these and I wanted to apologise for being annoying"
he said handing me the flowers, I took them.
"I don't hate you"
"yay"
I opened the door more letting him in, I put the flowers down on the nightstand and sat on the bed, he put the bag down on the bed, awkwardly smiling at me.
"i'm sorry about what I said earlier, I didn't mean it, it wasn't a mistake. I was just caught up in stress and work. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings"
he sat next to me and put his arm around me
"I shouldn't have pushed your buttons"
"I shouldn't have been a bitch"
"you're not, cmon let's forget about it and eat"
we did just that, I was actually really happy about spending time with him. We ended up cuddling as we talked.
"the guys kinda know"
"what now?"
"well they know I like you and they asked and when I said no they didn't believe me so"
"it's okay I guess"
we stayed quiet for a minute
"I love you too...didn't say it back this morning but I will now well I just did"
he chuckled and kissed me
"do we keep hiding it or can I call you mine"
"you're cute, of course i'm yours. i'm okay with the guys knowing but not fans and whatever"
"yes of course"
he smiled and did a happy dance
"guess what?"
"what?"
"I gotta girlfriend"
I chuckled and kissed him, he laid over me leaning his head into the crook of my neck, I played with his hair kissing his head.
Next morning
I went downstairs and waited for the guys. The first to come down was Corbyn, he gave me a weird look.
"what?"
"so uh you and Zachary huh?"
"shut up"
"oh cmon it was so obvious"
"sure don't make it a whole thing please"
"yeah yeah don't worry"
All the guys added their own commentary when they came down, I just laughed. Jack joined us.
"where's your other half?"
"right here"
I heard Zach say wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled blushing, he kissed my cheek.
"y'all cute"
They didn't make it a big scene making me more comfortable.
"ok let's go the bus isn't waiting"
We all walked out, me and some other members of the team put the suitcases in as they took pictures with some fans. I called the guys letting them know it was time to go. Zach looked up and went to jog over when some girl grabbed him and tried to kiss him, he pulled back immediately and ran over quickly. We all got into the bus, Zach wiped his face.
"you okay?"
"yeah yeah"
I went over rubbing his arm where some girl scratched him.
"shit you're bleeding"
He sat on the couch, I took care of it.
"thank you"
"of course"
I pushed a strand of his hair out of his face and kissed him, he took my hand rubbing it softly. I could get used to this.
