Yes Sir (Tronnor Fanfiction)

Caught (ch. 18)

(A few months later)

I'm sitting at my desk bored not really knowing what to do. For some reason Connor hasn't asked me to do much for the last few weeks. In fact he's been a bit spacey and seems like there's something on his mind, which is making me nervous. Our contract ends in a few short weeks, is he being distant because he doesn't want to do another 6 months with me?

I don't know, but the way he's been acting makes me have a bad gut feeling that this is ending very soon and I don't understand why. At this point I don't want to be with anyone but him. I've grown attached to the point where I wouldn't know what to do if this all ended. I really lo...

like him.

"Troye, come in here." Connor yelled out from his office.

Immediately I got up, thinking to myself that he probably isn't calling me in for a quickie. I took a deep breath, preparing for the worst.

"I need to talk to you about something."

'Great', I thought to myself.

"As you already know, our contract is ending soon." Yep, here we go. "And I hope that you want to sign another one when this one ends, because I definitely want to."

Oh.

"Um... yes sir, I do." I said sounding a bit surprised after the way he's been recently.

"I'm glad. However that's not what I wanted to talk about." He said as his facial expression became much more serious. "I've thought about it a lot, and I've decided that in the fall you will be quitting here and going to school full time. The semester starts a week after the new contract begins."

All of a sudden it felt like my heart fell to my stomach. "What?! But I don't want to go to school! That's not fai-"

"I realize you're upset but that does not give you permission to raise your voice at me. I don't care how upset you are I am your master and I do not tolerate that sort of behavior from anyone. Next time that happens you won't be able to sit down for a week, got it?" He said firmly.

I immediately shut my mouth and looked down at my hands that were fidgeting in my lap. "Yes... I'm sorry sir."

Within that second he visibly calmed down, however he didn't say anything. He just watched me closely as I thought of my wisely chosen words to say, now that I've already gotten a warning. I just really don't want to go to school. I felt like I was taking a step forward in my life and now it feels like I'm taking two steps back. I barely made it through high school, what am I going to do with college? I'll definitely fail, and then I'll be disappointing Connor like I have with my parents every time they opened a new report card.

"Why?" was all I could think to ask at this given moment. Why does he want me to go to school? It's not like the current job I have requires any sort of college experience.

Or maybe it does? I don't know, the more I've been here and how much everyone else seems to be doing a lot more work than me is making me question if he hired me more because he wanted me or because of my work ethic.

"Why? Because as much as I am loving being with you right now and hope that this lasts for an eternity, it's not guaranteed. If we ever parted ways, I want to know that you'll be able to take care of yourself and have your own career. I want to make sure that you will never have to live the life that you did before we met. I'm doing this because I know what's best for you, Troye."

I guess he had a point. "I just don't want you to be upset with me when I don't achieve as much as you think I would... I'm sure you've seen my GPA."
