Chapter 5

 (Kellan Lutz and sexy Joe----->)

 It has been a week since I have been working for Roche Marketing. So far I haven’t seen or heard from Mr. Roche. "I guess he changed his mind about getting to know me." I thought morosely. I had completed my share of the graphic designs that my team has been working on and Mr. White seemed very pleased with my work and despite the glares from Kim and the inappropriate advances from Mitchell, the others were fine with my contribution to the project.

  They were still a little standoffish, and I guessed that was Kim's influence. She never passed up on a chance to accuse me of sucking up to the boss. In my opinion I could say the same for her, she is just pissed that he hasn't even shown any interest in her pathetic attempts to garner his attention. She was scary stalkerish. I wouldn't be surprised if she accosted the man in the bathroom.

  It is a good thing that you actually have to be God himself to gain access to Mr. Roche’s domain on the executive floor. Me on the other hand, I had a free pass and her name is Bethany. As a matter of fact we had plans later tonight to go club hopping with Joe. We haven't had the opportunity to hang out being gainfully employed and all, and it would get my mind off the sex God upstairs. He has starred in too many of my late night fantasies to begin with. I kept feeling the slide of his luscious lips against my skin. A shiver ran down my spine at the mere thought. I wish I was brave enough to just offer myself, but who I am kidding I can't even form coherent sentences around the man.

 I was sitting in front of my computer tweaking some things on the design that Mr. White suggested when my phone rang. I picked it up and stated my name.

 "Hey Corey, you all set for later tonight. I figure we will hit the scene around ten or so." Bethany chirped on the other end of the connection.

 "Yeah, that sounds good; Joe is coming over right after work with pizza if you want we can all meet up at my apartment." I told her as I clicked he save button on my work and shut down my computer.

"Sure. I will meet you there in after making a quick stop at home." She informed me.

 I acknowledged her statement and then I hung up the phone disconnecting the call. I put everything in my satchel and made sure my newly transformed space was neat and clean. I had added a few pictures of Joe and Bethany, and one of my Mom. She would always hold a special place in my heart. When I had come out and admitted to my parents that I was gay in my senior year of high school, my Dad went ballistic and beat me within an inch of my life. My Mom ran with me in the middle of the night and made sure he never touched us again. She had died in my junior year of college. The only thing that kept me going was my promise to her to finish school and Joe who pushed me when I didn't want to be pushed. I was so looking forward to seeing him tonight. It's been weeks since I last saw him, and that was when he helped me move into my apartment.

 I took the stairs once again down to the lobby; I avoided Kim and Mitchell best this way. I was almost out the door when I felt someone grab my wrist and swing up against the wall. "Hey what's the rush cutie? We should hang out tonight and get some private time." Mitchell breathed inches from my face.

I struggled to get my wrist loose from his tight grip on it, but he proved to be way stronger than he looked. "Sorry, I got plans, and I have told you I am not interested Mitchell." I said continuing my struggles.

"Is there a problem Master Corey?" A deep voice behind Mitchell asked.

Mitchell released me immediately and I found Daryl standing not far behind him. Mr. Roche's car sat there gleaming on the street.
