As you pull into your driveway, your phone dings with a text. 


Hailee: Hey, make it home safe?

You: Hi, yeah I just pulled into my driveway. Thank you for everything. I was thinking on the way home where my shop would be if you hadn't stumbled in that first day. 

Hailee: You don't have to thank me, you work speaks for itself, all I did was help more people see it. Your clothes sell because you designed them not because I wore it. 

You: Thank you, that means a lot. I hope you have a goodnight. I'll see you in the morning!

Hailee: I can't wait! Goodnight! 


You get out of your car, go inside and drop everything you're carrying onto the table. Your body had calmed down from all the excitement on your drive home, but you still had a smile on your face you couldn't erase. You shower and change into some PJs and crawl into bed. Replaying the events of today in your head you come to conclusion that you weren't mistaken. Hailee did kiss your neck. The way your two bodies were moving together, the gripping of each others hands as your bodies got closer. the way her breathe got faster on your neck as if it was matching how fast your heart was beating. There was definitely a connection there that you can't deny. The only thing that worried you is that Hailee is an incredible actress and you don't know if it all meant the same to her as it did you as she didnt make any comment about it afterwards. You roll over trying to clear your mind of it so you could get some sleep. Tomorrow is another day with Hailee after all and you don't want to spend it tired and yawning. 


Before you knew it, your alarm clock was going off. You woke, showered and spent way too much time trying to figure out how you would wear your hair and what outfit you should wear. It was getting really close to the time you had to leave so you decided to wear your in a simple ponytail with your white and black flannel with a black cami under it and a pair of jean shorts. You threw on your converse shoes. You decided it was better to feel comfortable and like yourself since you knew you would already be nervous around Hailee. The last thing you would want is to be uncomfortable with what you were wearing as well. 

By the time you reached the shop it was a quarter to 10. You were surprised to find Hailee was already in the parking lot when the gate opened. 

"Hey!" Hailee yelled from her car as you were exiting yours. 

"Hey! I have to run inside and check on something real quick is that ok?" you reply. 

"Yeah, I'll come with if thats ok?"

"of course!" you reply as you walk over to unlock the back door to the shop. You couldn't help but stop and watch as Hailee exited her car, wearing a black sweat suit and white air force ones and no makeup. You fumble with the keys as you go to unlock the door trying to regain your composure. You weren't nervous for today until you saw her and was reminded at just how naturally beautiful she is. 

"You okay?" she asks. 

"yeah its just early and I haven't had my coffee yet" you say quickly to recover. 

"Well you are in luck! I bought you a coffee and a breakfast sandwich! I wasn't sure what you'd like so I bought a couple different sandwiches."

You walk into the office and sit down at your desk. Hailee sits in the same chair she sat at on day one. All you needed to do was check your email real quick, you were waiting to see if the commercial you put together would be approved to air to announce the release of your new line. You sip the coffee Hailee brought for you.
