Two weeks now passed since the incident and I do feel much better now. I took a week off to feel sorry for myself before pulling myself back together and I feel great now that I changed departments again.

As I was on my way to work I tried to figure out what to do with my life. I came up with...nothing.

My parents were just waiting for me to give them a heads up on how things are going and when it was time for me to step up and overtake the company so my parents could finally get on the next plane to explore the world.

"Hey sleepy head." Wes greeted me at the entrance of the company. He seemed to be in a great mood but that wasn't anything out of the ordinary.

"Hey." I replied, my voice still a little raspy because this was the first thing I said this morning.

As we made our way to the office I kept thinking about how and when all of this would basically be under my control. I would soon become the boss of every single employee in this building but for now all they think as they walk past me is that I'm just an intern who they may or may not ever see again.

"Morning." Wes said to Harry as he opened the door to the office, announcing our presents.

Harry didn't bother looking up as he just raised his hand to show us he was busy.

"Just the way I like it." Wes slapped Harry on the shoulder before taking his seat at his own desk with me beside him.

"You're with me today." Harry suddenly said as he got up from his chair and looked at me for just a split second.

Before I was even able to say something he was out the door. I don't know how much longer I could keep up with his attitude.

"Is he forreal?" I muttered and went after him. He took the stairs all the way down to the photography department and I just followed him there like a lost puppy.

As we arrived I grabbed a spinning chair and occupied myself by playing games on my phone or staring out the window for ages since there was no way of Harry even speaking a single word with me.

"Hey, you!" Someone yelled and I looked up to see another guy walking towards me with a camera in hand.

"Yea?" I asked, spinning the chair to face him.

"I'm Darren. Do you mind standing in the frame for a little. I have two models coming in an hour and I just want to make sure everything's perfect since were rushing to get the pics for the next issue." He explained and pointed to another set in the back.

"Sure, I guess. I'm Ana." I agreed and he thanked me before gesturing me to follow him which I did.

I just stood awkwardly in front of a white background while Darren adjusted his camera and ordered other people around to get the lights right.

"I'm going to tell you some poses so I can visualize the concept better, alright?" Darren asked and I gave him a thumbs up.

He had me do some normal poses for good twenty minutes and someone even came up to powder my face which was strange but kinda cool.

"Now I just need someone- Harry!"

Oh no.

"What?" Harry asked and come over to Darren's set. He didn't even seem to notice me and knowing him he definitely still thought I was sat on the spinning chair in the corner.

"Can you jump in? I need to visualize some things before the models get here." Darren explained and Harry just nodded before finally looking in my direction.

His eyes widened for a second and I noticed him taking a deep breath before looking anywhere else but me.

We stood about five feet apart and didn't look anything close to being amused as everyone basically stared at us.

"Uhm, guys...could you like get closer?" Darren asked with a raised eyebrow as he squinted his one eye while looking through the camera.

We took a couple steps towards each other but the posing was just very awkward.

"Let me." A girl said suddenly who I believe was named Georgia.

She stepped into the frame and turned both Harry and I towards each other. She lifted my chin so I was looking up at him. Then she took Harry's hand and placed it on my right cheek which was facing the camera.

She positioned both my hands on his chest and I could even feel his heart pounding which weirdly enough was kind of soothing. She placed Harry's other hand on my hip and pushed our faces even more together.

"That's exactly what I had in mind. Just stay like that and then maybe move a tiny bit closer." Darren instructions soon faded away as Harry and I basically stared into each others souls.

Suddenly, Harry's hand on my cheek moved and he pushed a strand of hair behind my ear before placing his warm hand back on my cheek which immediately made me move into his touch, trying to feel more.

With his other hand he moved around a little before moving his thumb back and forth, pushed me closer to him. My actions however where a bit limited and I didn't get the chance to do anything other than allowing him to navigate us and enjoying every moment of it.

"Perfect. Thanks guys!" Darren suddenly said pulling I guess both of us out of our trances. I felt a little disappointed as Harry didn't waste any second to pull himself from me to walk away.

I felt so frustrated for some reason as I saw him completely ignore me again so I just left and made my way to the office since it was almost lunch time anyways and all I wanted was to stay in the office and just hang out.

"Woah what's up with you?" Wes asked as soon as I walked into the office and slammed the door but not as loud as Harry would usually do.

"Nothing." I replied and noticed that my tone was a little angry.

"Well, 'nothing' seems to be bothering you but if you don't want to talk about it that's fine too." Wes shrugged and so I just nodded before quickly changing the subject to anything but men.
