A confession (Your POV)

It has been thirty minutes since you left your house and you've made it to the Calvary building. You are observing the interview which has been moved up.

"Thank you for your time," You are not surprised at the introduction.

"No worries,"

"I would like for you to address a rumour," the interviewer shows Elon a photo. He gestures to you which causes the PA to scramble for another microphone. Thirty seconds later she passes you one and you sit down next to Elon.

"Yes, the rumours are true. Elon is dating again," You answer for him because you know how awkward he can get and you don't want to blow your cover as well.

"I have to ask, Elon what is your thought process when coming up with a new company?" The interviewer remarks with a burning curiosity

"I find a problem and I solve it. For example, I knew traffic in LA needed fixing so I created the boring company," he gives the basic response.

"I have to ask (Y/N) isn't it. What were your first impressions of Elon?"

"When I first met Elon in college I thought he was crazy but his craziness has played off," You reflect on your college days and you can tell Elon is doing the same. The rest of the interview is basic stuff about Tesla and SpaceX.

"Thank you Mr Musk for joining us," the interviewer concludes his interview.

"No worries," he replies as you both take your mics off. Thirty minutes later you are back at SpaceX HQ and you are deep in thought about the day you first meet Elon.

Flashback

You are walking through the campus of Penn State. There is one problem you are lost and not paying attention. You feel the force of what feels like a boulder. It knocks you to the ground. Your text-books spread around you.

"I'm so sorry," A man with an odd South African accent remarks. He offers you his hand. You take it and he pulls you up.

"Thank you," you are mildly embarrassed. You reach for one of your books but you are stopped.

"Let me," The South African remarks as he grabs the first text-book. A minute later he has finished helping you.

"My name is Elon Musk," he introduces himself to you. You are happy that you've met someone.

"(Y/N) (Y/L/N). Nice to meet you. Can you help me find the chemistry building?" you respond. You decide to ask him for help because no one offered to help you anyway.

"Yes um follow me," Elon is a little unsure of himself.

"Hey don't worry about the accident," you remark. You can tell he is not used to these situations.

"In fact, I should be the one saying sorry,"

"For what?" Elon inquires.

"I wasn't paying attention," you clarify. Five minutes later you've both made it to the chemistry building.

"I was wondering if I could invite you to a get together after today's classes?" You know Elon means a party but you accept anyway.

"Thanks for showing me around and yes I'll meet you here again,"

"(Y/N)," Julian remarks which snaps you out of your thoughts

"Yes Julian?" you respond. You are a little annoyed at him because he interrupted your thoughts about when you first met Elon.

"The boss wants you," Julian starts to walk back to Elon's office.

"That's good because there is something I need to tell him," you utter. You want to tell him how you actually feel. A minute later, you've made it to Elon's office.

"Elon I have something to tell you," you remark. You are worried about how the confession will go.

"Oh ok you go first," You can tell he needs to think about the next thing he is going to say.

"Well, I may have actually kinda had a crush on you since we meet at college," You fumble over your words because you've never been in this situation before. You feel like you've entered a hostage negotiation.

"Oh," He is stumped.

"I know it sounds stupid now that I've said it," You are regreting the decision of telling Elon how you feel.

"No I was actually going to tell you about how I feel but you beat me to it and at least it should make your cover more believable," He tries to change the topic to something you're more comfortable. You are glad he is trying to change the topic.

"Anyway what should we do about Sam Jones?"

"Well Kelsey is working on finding him and I'm looking after you so there's not much you can really do except keep your head down as much as possible," You offer the standard response because you don't know what else to say.
