Chapter

Eszekiel couldn’t pinpoint the exact moment but there he was laying down with his silky black hair, dark brown eyes, and was still wearing percy’s hoodie, and was currently about to doze off.

Eszekiel zoned out for a minute or so that’s what he thought. Thus, he had at least 30 minutes left before the interview when he reached for his phone to check the time. If he kept nodding off, he was going to be late.

“Shit? It's already 10:20?!” he says

He threw himself up and hurried to the bathroom to take a shower. He had entirely forgotten his clothes on the bedside table, but before he could open the door, Percy was already standing and leaning against the wall with Kiel's clothes in his arms.

“Looking for this?” percy says

"Yes, I realized that I forgot to bring my clothes" kiel replied

“Never knew you were this sexy” he says

"Quit staring," kiel scowled. As he reached for his clothes, just as he was about to close the door, Percy had managed to prevent the door from closing and was determinedly pushing it open teasingly.

“PERCY!” kiel shouted, percy was chuckling and kiel eventually gave up from trying to keep percy away

“If you don’t stop teasing me i’m gonna get fired” kiel says

“You’re so cute when you’re mad” percy replied

—

Eszekiel and Percy had finished taking a shower and were headed for work, they quickly rushed to the car and drove off.

“you know i just realized” kiel says

“Hmm?” percy replied while looking at him

“I’ll tell you but eyes on the road.” kiel says “You know, we wouldn’t have been running late if you had just woken me up, you did wake up early? Didn’t you”

“Well you looked so cute and peaceful sleeping” percy replied “and i didn’t wanna wake you up since you stayed up so late doing your works”

“Eh, alright” kiel says

"Plus, I own the place, so you don't have to work anymore, and money would just keep coming in." percy says

"You're right, but all I want is to experience life to the fullest," Kiel said. “Oh and look, were almost here”

I can't avoid getting into trouble even if Perry owns the business because of Valerie, the manager—that is, Valerie, Percy's sister. When we arrived, I hurried to my seat, not caring that I was fifteen minutes late. Valerie gave me a hard time for missing the entire interview and asked me to remain beyond my shift.

“You all are dismissed” valerie says “except for you kiel, stay”

I looked at Valerie and noticed her glaring at me. Everyone left the office, one by one, until Valerie and I were the only ones remaining.

"You missed the interview entirely, which caused everyone's work to be delayed." Valerie says "It's unacceptable that we only have one strike left before our company falls apart due to your actions."

"I apologize, Ms. Grey. This won't happen again." i replied

Valerie glared and said, "It certainly won't happen again, Kiel. You're fired."

My eyes opened and my heart fell upon hearing those words. I never imagined that after only two years of employment, I would be dismissed already. I knew that asking Valerie to accept me back would only make matters worse, so I refrained from doing so.

Even though I was inconsolable, I went to Percy to inform him what had happened and packed the things that needed packing. I smelled something familiar as I unintentionally bumped into someone in the corridor.

At first, I thought it was Percy, but glancing up showed that it was actually a tall, muscular man who was probably in his 20s, for someone this old this one is attractive.

“Quit staring” he says

“That’s my line” i replied

Upon examining his badge, I noticed that he was among the more senior staff members, which doesn't surprise me at all for someone with an appealing appearance.

“What is someone like you doing out here? Only senior staff members are allowed in this corridor "And you ought to be working at this hour," he remarks.

"I'm going to the owner's office," I answered.

“And why is that?” he says

"I thought that wasn't really your concern," I answered.

His eyes widened with surprise, as if he hadn't anticipated such a response. "You stand out from every other employee." he says

I wondered if that was meant to be a praise or an insult. “Probably because I'm unique,” I replied. He gave me an incredulous look and carried on walking.

" Hold on, I didn't get your name! I called out to him along the hallway, and he turned to face me. "Zion," he replied. As I was making my way to the office, I continued saying his name to myself out of concern that I might forget it.

I lost awareness while walking and unexpectedly found myself in front of the office door. I reached for the doorknob and went inside. Percy turned his head towards the door and saw me staring back at him with my usual empty expression

“What appears to be the issue, my love?” he remarks. "Your aura seems off than usual," he remarks.

"Your sister just fired me," I retorted.

“Don't worry, I'll speak with her," he says “Maybe she’s in a bad mood”

“No, no don’t bother, i appreciate you talking to her but i don’t wanna cause any more trouble, i’ll just do as you asked me to and just focus on my school works percy.” i replied “plus, i’ve got a lot to do”

“Are you sure kiel?” he says

"Yes, I am certain of it, Percy," I smiled in response.

"Well, kiel, since nobody is going to be around for long and I have nothing to do, we could just keep ourselves occupied.” He states.

“I’m not in the mood, percy.” i reply

He got up, disregarded what I said, picked me up, and sat me on his lap

“You look so cute, kiel,” he remarks. He wrapped his hands around my waist and began to kiss me before I could say anything. I pushed him because I was having trouble breathing and then carried on making out.

—

We heard footsteps approaching after a while, and I swore to that someone would come in sooner. I hid in the area beneath the table, barely fitting in there, and sure enough, Valerie walked up and told Percy that she had dismissed me.

Percy pretended not to know. and carried on discussing works. My inner demons told me to tease Percy, so I did. I was caressing him, and I could tell he was attempting to maintain a neutral look.I chose to take things a step further and slipped my hands on his shirt, feeling the muscles in his abdomen and his body warmth.

After Valerie quickly departed, Perry took hold of me and seated me on his lap while I laughed contentedly.

“What were you thinking” he says “we could have been caught”

“I did what i had to do” i replied

"You are such a dare devil, we are carrying on this conversation at home. Get ready, I'm not holding back," he declares.

I glanced at him in shock, knowing that he was just playing a joke on me. Since I still had a lot of work to do and was exhausted, I got up and walked for the door.

“Leaving so soon?” he says

“Yes, Percy, I still have stuff to do. I'll simply meet you at home, okay?” I answered.

"Okay, make sure you get home safely," he said. "Bye, I love you."

"Bye, I love you," as I turned to go.

After leaving the building, I waited for a near-by vehicle to drive me home. Sitting there, I noticed a familiar smell and looked up to see Zion seated in front of me.

“I didn’t expect you to be riding a cheap vehicle as this one” i stated

"I have no choice because my car broke," he replies in a deep, icy voice. “I wouldn’t be riding this either”

"I could say the same; my boyfriend plans to stay late tonight, and I don't have a car to take." i replied

“Well what a shame..” he replies

I briefly believed he was going to question my sexual orientation since, typically, someone with his attractive appearance would merely criticize and inquire about my sexual orientation.

I guess you could say he was different.
