Personal Concern |Kellic & Cashby| Collab with Gabi

Vic's POV

"So, when are you going to take the exam?" Kellin asked, kicking his foot against mine as we sat across from one another.

I shrugged. "I'm still deciding whether I should or not. Part of me feels really comfortable where I'm at and I mean, I've checked and I can take the test at any time."

"And why not now? I mean weren't you excited to ditch this job."

"I am but," I sighed and stirred my pasta around on my plate. "I'm worried about Alan and I don't feel comfortable abandoning him."

"I think he can handle himself. He'll have to learn to eventually." Kellin glanced up at me. "Besides, he'll have me to help him, you know."

"I know, but I've been with him since the business got big," I said. "And I think I'm going to take the bar exam in a few weeks and then maybe work at a law firm on the side and I've got some idea on what I want to do with it but I'm unsure."

"What's your ideas?"

"I could possibly, in a way, be an attorney for Ashby Enterprises, I mean, Alan gets in enough trouble with it anyway so it could work."

"That's an idea, I'm sure he'd let you."

"I know he would, but we're going to see what happens and where it goes. Yeah, Alan's absolutely infuriating at times and I'm tempted to run him over with my car sometimes but I still enjoy what I'm doing."

"Okay, okay as long as you're happy."

"I will be, I mean I'm going to get to work with the most beautiful man every day so it makes it all worth it if you ask me," I told him. "And possibly even my boyfriend."

"Boyfriend? Oh really now?"

"Yeah, really," I said, taking a sip of my wine as I looked at him.

"I don't know about that..."

"And why not?"

"Because," he said. "Working with my boyfriend could possibly be a conflict of interest."

I pouted. "Please?"

"Maybe."

"Kellin, don't be like that."

"Fine, I guess, I'd love to. Even though you're not going to be a lawyer."

"I don't need to be a lawyer."

"I'm just saying, it'd be fun to tell all of my college buddies that I'm dating a hot lawyer," he said, kicking me lightly.

"You can tell them you're dating a hot assistant."

"Not the same, that just sounds like a title to a porn."

"That's true." Kellin pointed out.

"I know. And don't worry about work, Alan told me as long as we keep it professional it's fine," I told him.

"I'm glad you ran it by him first."

"Of course I would, he's my boss and my best friend."

"I know, I know." He said with a laugh and smiled. "Okay, I do have one question."\

"Which is?"

"What's it like, like working for your best friend?"

"It's different and I mean it's not the worst thing in the world. I mean sometimes he's a pain in the ass, especially when he is in business mode." I shrugged. "But, if I'm going to be honest, it doesn't change a lot. I mean, I'll still tell him when he's being an asshole he'd do the same for me. We know when to be friends and we know when to be professional."
