Fuck that beautiful, arrogant man who has been haunting my dream, asleep and awake, is gay.’ I shake my head and try to clear it of all thoughts of Brian Kinney. He may be gay but he is a fucking asshole, so being gay doesn’t mean shit because I’m not interested in him. Three days later Brian and I have been now working on this merger pretty steadily for three days. I’m not quite sure what happened, maybe it was the fact that I’m now friends with his friends but the day after all the shit went down with his son, he called me and asked me if I was still interested in the merger. Well of course I was, but I wasn’t going to seem too eager so I coolly agree to meet with him. When I met him I was expecting the arrogant man I had seen every other time I have seen him but what I got was a much subdued version of the man. At first I thought that this change was because he knew that he was being a dick and he wanted the merger to go through but when the meeting passed and we started working together and he still had the same attitude, I switched my opinion and figured that it had to do with what had happened with this son. Now that I have had more time to observe him, I can’t help but wonder that I might be wrong; that there is something else going on that I’m not privy to. Or maybe I am completely off base and I just had seen the worst in him the couple of times that I saw him and this is what the man is really like. I decide it won’t do me any good to dwell on this, shit I don’t even know why I care about the way this man is acting. I have to keep reminding myself that Brian is not for me because I don’t think I have ever been this attracted to anyone, ever. I look over some papers and realize that once again, I will have to enter Brian’s office to go over these with him. I wish I didn’t have to keep going in there because every time I’m near the man, all I want to do is jump him and the need gets stronger every time I see him. I get to his office door and take a deep breath before knocking, trying to steel myself for the man’s presence, which fills any room he’s in no matter who else is in it with him. When he grants me entrance, I go in and show him the papers. Brian starts talking in a slightly dull voice, answering the question that I have and again I wonder if something is wrong with him. And then he points to a figure on the papers I gave him and I look over his shoulder to get a look at what he is pointing at and catch a whiff of his cologne and all thoughts of work once again leave my mind. In my head I see me laying across his desk with his body covering mine and his long hard cock slamming into my clenching hole. As my fantasy continues, I have to bite my bottom lip to stop a moan from escaping but I must have made some sound because he looks up at me and I see lust flare in his eyes for a moment before it is buried behind a thick wall. I can tell that he wants me but I don’t understand why he would deny himself but I acknowledge his rejection with a slight tilt of my head. I immediately look back down at the paper, dismissing our feelings. After a second he looks back down at the paper and we go over the figures as if nothing happened and when we are done, I quickly gather them up and leave his office. A couple of hours later I am walking towards Ted’s office so I can leave some papers with him before I leave Kinnetik for the night. I am thinking about how happy I am with what we have accomplished thus far when I hear whispers coming from Ted’s office. I know I shouldn’t eavesdrop but if I’m going to be a part of this company I deserve to know what’s going on. Or at least that’s what I tell myself as I lean up to the door to listen. “I don’t know what is going on with him; in all the time I have worked for him I have never seen him act like this.” A voice I place as being Cynthia, Brian’s personal assistant, says. “I know, I have known him outside of work for a number of years and I don’t think I have ever seen him act even close to this. Well, when Lindsay and Melanie died he was really distraught but he wasn’t anything like this. I don’t what is going on but it’s something big.” I listen for a while more and I get more and more worried about Brian. When it seems like they’re done talking, I sneak away from the door so I’m not caught listening. I walk out of Kinnetik, leaving the papers on Cynthia’s desk on my way out and on my way home; all I can think about is what might be up with Brian. As soon as I walk through the door at my house I drop my coat and my satchel and get down on my knees, knowing that I will have a whirlwind in my arms in a second. As my daughter’s body hits my chests at full force, I pretend that her weight knocked me over as I always do, crying out in supposed pain. “Hehe, I got you daddy.” “You big brut, beating up on your poor defenseless father.” Molly said, coming in the room. “Help me, Molly. Get her.” I said, which spurs on a round of tickling my squirming daughter. “Please, no more. I’ll let daddy up.” Kyla screamed, breathless through her laughter as we both tickled her. We finally stopped and let her up and I headed into my room so I could change out of my work clothes but before I could make it to my room Kyla and Molly, who had been plotting behind my back, caught me unaware and started tickling me as payback. Within moments I was back down on the floor, this time with me laughing and begging them to stop. They didn’t let up and I had tears from my laughter running down my face quickly. “I give, I give. Let me up.” I beg my relentless monster child, finally I can’t take it anymore and it has to stop now. “You girls better let me up before something bad happens.” I gasp out. Molly gets the hint right away and pulls Kyla off me and as soon as she’s off, I race to the bathroom to relieve my now aching bladder. I hear my sister’s laughter behind me and then I hear Kyla join in, even though I know she doesn’t know what’s so funny. I wash my hands and change my clothes before heading back out to the girls. When I get out there Kyla and I say goodbye to Molly and then we spend the rest of the night together. We watch Kyla’s favorite movie, Beauty and the Beast, for the millionth time. Of course I won’t admit to loving the movie too. As we are watching the movie, we just curl up together and eat popcorn. As soon as the movie is over I give Kyla a bath and tuck her into bed. When she is securely tucked in, I pull the Harry Potter book down that I have been reading her and pick up where I left off. Within minutes her eyes are drooping and before I even finish the chapter she is asleep. I close the book and spend a few minutes looking at my little girl. I have missed her so much the last few days because I have been so busy at work; not only running my own company but then going over the merger and trying to work all that out. I miss picking her up at school and just being able to spend the rest of the day with her. I had to work on the merger the whole weekend basically and I always spend that time with my daughter, and I hate that I couldn’t. As I think this I wonder how much Brian is missing his son just as much, but as soon as this thought hits me I push it away, determined not to think about Brian anymore. With that thought in my head I gently kiss Kyla on her forehead and I head for bed myself. Two Days Later I leave J.T. advertising and head over to Kinnetik but I’m dragging because I just can’t seem to deal with Brian. Ever since I heard Cynthia and Ted talking about him I have realized that it’s not just in my head, there is something going on with him. I have run through so many scenarios of what it could be, that I just don’t know what to do anymore. Especially since the glimpse I have gotten from this man tells me that the only thing that could completely destroy him is if something were to happen to his son. That thought brings it a little too close to home, seeing as how I know we’re both single father’s and our children are about the same age. I think about what I would be like if Kyla were to get seriously sick, shit I hate it when she has a cold. On top of that, it doesn’t help that the more time I spend with the man the more I want him and I feel so shitty about that. I hate the fact that even though I know something is wrong, most of the time when I’m in his presence; all I want to do is beg him to fuck me. I once again try to push Brian out of my head as I get down to work. If all goes well, the merger will go through the end of next week or the beginning of the one after that and then we will be an even bigger force to be reckoned with. I look down at the papers in my hand and decide to have Cynthia give them to her boss. I know I’m a coward; you don’t have to say it but I just think that right now, the less time I spend with him the better off I’ll be. I walk out to Cynthia’s desk and see it empty and I wait for a few minutes, hoping she will come back from wherever she is. But when fifteen minutes pass, I know that I will have to bring these papers to Brian myself and I’m cursing my bad luck. After knocking on Brian’s door and getting the go ahead to come in, I walk in and see him going over the files from my company as I am doing for his. “Good thing you came in. I was hoping I didn’t actually have to go to you.” Brian says in a monotone voice and I can’t believe he could be so arrogant with his words and seem so depressed with his voice at the same time. I let it slide because I don’t exactly know how to respond to the mixed messages he’s giving out and we go over the work we have done. As uncomfortable as the tension between us is, we work so well together. It’s almost like I can read his thoughts on what he wants and we not only go over the merger papers, but we get a pitch for Coca-Cola set up and the boards drafted for the art department. I sketched out his thoughts as he had them and then combined my thoughts with them and the finished product was amazing. Coca-Cola is a huge company and would push us above ninety-nine percent of the other Advertising agencies in the world if we got it. And with this pitch I can’t see why we wouldn’t. After we are done we say our goodbyes, more at ease with each other knowing that we have shared a great creative session so we pack up our things and head out. We walk to the door together and before we part ways we share a smile. While I’m walking away all I can think is ‘I can’t wait to go to Kinnetik tomorrow’.
