The Rest of the Day

You and Daisy finish showering, though it takes a little longer than necessary as the two of you pause every now and then to kiss and paw at each other. But eventually the two of you actually get out and start your day.

Lucky for you, Daisy is free from any of her movie or promotional commitments so she's free to spend the day with you. You decided to let her choose what you did today and to your surprise, she wants to shadow you as you do your normal day-to-day routine. And that's why you're sitting in your office doing some paperwork while Daisy hovers around you.

"Are you sure you want to just hang out here all day?" You ask her hoping she changes her mind. But you've known her long enough to know that isn't happening.

"Absolutely!" She exclaims. "I've always been fascinated with this sort of stuff. I was a barmaid for two years before landing my role in Star Wars. Though the places I worked at weren't quite as extravagant as this place."

"Well, I can assure you being behind the bar is far more exciting than doing what I do."

"Oh come on." She rolls her eyes at you before sitting on the arm of your chair. "If I was not here, what would you be doing?"

"Thinking of you." You smile.

"Cute but no." She shakes her head with laugh. "Seriously, what would you be doing?"

"Well, the main item on my agenda today is to book a headlining act for our annual Halloween bash."

"Really? So soon?" She genuinely asks. "That's almost 4 months away."

"I generally work three to six months in advance." You explain. "Honestly, I should have had this booked weeks ago but..." You trail off.

Daisy catches on and gives you a questioning look. "'But' what?"

"But he's been distracted by love." Ingrid interrupts with more enthusiasm than necessary.

"Oh my god Ingrid!" Daisy jumps up and runs to your general manager. The two of them hug each other like long lost friends. Over the course of your relationship, Daisy and Ingrid have become quite close.

"How was Europe?" Ingrid asks excitedly.

"Stunning." Daisy responds.

With the two of them engrossed in conversation, you kind of tune them out as you continue your search for a headlining act. Your thoughts are quickly interrupted when a magazine hits you in the side of the head.

"What the hell?"

"I told you he was ignoring us." Ingrid smiles.

"Is he always like this at work?" Daisy asks.

"Oh honey, before you came along, he practically lived in this office." Ingrid informs your girlfriend. "I'm surprised he managed to keep himself alive considering how many times he'd forget to eat."

"Okay, I'm paying attention now. No need to pretend like I'm not here." You say as you pick up the magazine.

"How did he function without me?" Daisy asks with a grin.

"If it weren't for me, he wouldn't have." Ingrid answers with a smile.

"I think I functioned perfectly fine without either of you." You point out trying to defend yourself.

"Darling, it's rude to interrupt a conversation." Daisy mock scolds you.

"Especially with bold-faced lies." Ingrids adds.

"I hate when you two get together." You rub your forehead. They just laugh and continue their conversation, sending jabs your way every now and then. Eventually Ingrid excuses herself, leaving you and Daisy alone again.

"I love that woman." Daisy says as she walks back around your desk. "Sorry if we got off track."

"It's all good." You sort of lie. Truthfully it would have annoyed you more but Daisy seemed happy so you were happy.

"I think you're lying but I'll let it go." She smiles warmly. "Have you booked anyone yet for Halloween?"

"Not yet." You admit as you click through your folder of bands. "Can't really decide. Here, you pick."

"Me?" Daisy asks a bit surprised.

"Why not?" You shrug. "Honestly, you'll probably enjoy them more than I would anyway."

"Oh, are you planning on us being together on Halloween?" She asks with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't see why not." You admit. "Unless you plan on not being here."

"I have no such plans." She admits.

"Good." You say with a smile.

"Good." She repeats, also with a smile.
