Chapter 8: Drafting The Contract
Both Evans and Nathan waited not up to an hour before they heard the sound of a car outside, and at that time, Nathan was coming out of the room after his bath, while Evans was on apron doing the cleaning of the house and no one would have guessed that they had just had a big argument.
Evans looked up after hearing the sound of Nathan's footsteps, in his hand was a rag as he cleaned up the last pieces of bottles scattered and broken on the ground. Then with his eyes on Nathan who had his eyes on Evans in surprise, Evans remembered he was wearing an apron, ignored the look the other guy was giving him, and went back into the kitchen to drop things off.
The bell rang and Nathan went on to open the door then walked back coldly to sit on the couch, he looked at his assistant with dark eyes then watched him bring out his laptop.
Evans, who was done with his chores, walked towards them and sat down on the other side of the couch which made Nathan raise his brow. He pulsed his lips then glared at Evans coldly but Evans only ignored him and fixed his eyes on the Assistant who felt like he was sitting on needles when he felt the pressure emitting from his boss.
He chuckled awkwardly then asked after scratching his head, “Hmm…Boss, I am ready to take your orders. What do you want me to do?” He asked nervously, also sneaking a glance at Evans.
Nathan looked at Evans then pulsed his lips in a straight line which showed how tensed he was at the moment, then he narrowed his eyes and looked at the little man’s body with a look that seemed to be able to pierce through his soul, and Evans who became uncomfortable with the look was forced to turn around and glared at Nathan who only curled his lips before adjusting his eyes.
“Feisty! You were not like this before, how come you are so bold now, huh?” He muttered, then when he faced his assistant who was looking at their exchange in confusion, his face turned cold.
“I want you to draft a contract, that says Evans Hart will be a substitute for his brother, till his brother, Jesse Hart comes back!” Nathan gave the order then turned to look at Evans.
The assistant looked at them in shock, especially his boss, he didn't know what his boss was thinking at the moment, what had gotten into him?! He wants to use the younger brother of his lover whom we have no idea where he was as a substitute?! What the fuck?!
“A substitute?!” Evans' voice rang out in the room piercingly. He stood up with his eyes looking at no one else but Nathan who sat confidently on the couch.
“You choose that yourself, Evans! You said so and I did as you wanted.” Nathan Said indifferently.
He really couldn't understand what the fuss was all about. He had been the one who mentioned it in the first place and now he doesn't want it? He scoffed thinking about it and it really annoys him.
Evans bit his lips and looked at Nathan then scoffed sarcastically, “So must I be the substitute? Don't forget he cheated on you!” Evans said, pointing out angrily. He just couldn't understand why this man is so bent on holding onto someone who doesn't cherish him. Why?! Why can't it be him?! Why must Jesse be associated with them?! Just why!
The thought of it brought aches to Evans' heart. He just couldn't understand what was going on. He loves him so much, if he doesn't would bother to offer himself to him? Can't he see it or is he just pretending?
Evans soon got his answer when Nathan chuckled softly then stood up and walked towards Evans in a slow pace, and with his dark grim eyes on Evans, he cornered him on the couch he was sitting on, then sniffed his neck and allowed his lips to touch his neck fleetingly.
Evans shivered his head back to avoid Nathan’s touch. Meanwhile, Nathan chuckled seeing how Evans reacted to him.
“I asked you what you wanted and you stated it yourself. What I have to do with Jesse is none of your business, and..”
He stopped then touched Evans's face with his fingertips, and drew him closer to his face. Not caring about the terrified look on Evans's face, he chuckled again and wet his lips with his tongue before continuing, “Don't forget, I and Jesse never broke up. So if Jesse comes back, I will make my decision. So for now, you can substitute and act like my boyfriend while I satisfy you in bed, isn't that what you want?” Nathan asked with raised brows and saw Evans gulped then looked down to hide his tears, something flashed in Nathan’s eyes but he immediately hid it.
Evans nodded then secretly clenched his fist, “I know.” He spat out with so much embarrassment, but he had chosen this part and there was no going back. And maybe Nathan would realize his love and also—Just maybe…
“Draft the Contract! And add to it that he must listen to me and answer my calls whenever I call him! He also must never ignore me or throw a tantrum, and…He must move in with me!” Nathan finished his rules but then Evans objected as he stood up angrily.
“No! Why should I live with you?!” He asked as he glared at Nathan with eyes as red and cute like a bullied puppy making Nathan more amused and the desire to bully him more filled him.
He smirked then shrugged his shoulders, “Then maybe we shouldn't do this. This is what I want and if you can't accept this then bye!” Nathan said but he didn't expect Evans to chuckle coldly then walked off and went upstairs without looking back.
Nathan stiffened in shock but he leaned back and waited to see what Evans was going to do, and he didn't wait long before he saw him come down from the stairs with his bag swung on his shoulder and his phone in his hand, then he passed him and walked toward the door.
Nathan sat up in shock then looked at him with gritted teeth, he couldn't help but remember the threat Evans gave before he had agreed to make Evans his. Evans had said he would allow other guys to be with him. The thought of it was so infuriating that it almost made him beat Evans up.
Before Evans could reach the door, he felt himself being dragged back, and then he was turned and came face to face with the angry Nathan, “What the hell are you doing? Leaving? No way!”
Evans felt frustrated at his words and tone, “What do you mean by “No”? You asked me to leave, right? Well, good for you, I don't want this anymore! I am not some piece of shit! You don't talk to me like-like…” Evans stammered and suddenly his arms trembled as he lowered his head and tears dropped from his eyes.
He tried to control his tears but he just couldn't, he couldn't hold it back anymore, he had used all the courage he could muster to make that decision. But Nathan is not helping him, he was adding to his humiliation and bringing down his confidence. Well, he really deserves this, this is what happens when you want someone who can never be yours.
Evans then bit his lips before pushing Nathan away, and turned around to leave, but he was held strongly by Nathan, “You—!”
“Hmph! Nathan…” Evans tried to push Nathan away after being kissed but Nathan pressed on his shoulder. The kiss then went from rough to gentle and when he wanted to say something, Nathan used the opportunity to slide in his tongue.
“Urggh…Mhmm~” Evans moaned as Nathan Tangled his tongue with his and swept it around his mouth sweetly, and after the kiss, Nathan rested his head on his then kissed the corner of his lips gently.
“Since you suggested it, then you can't take back your words anymore. I’m sorry, okay?”
