Chapter 8

Steven was busy arranging the papers lying on his desk when Ronald approached him.

"Come with me later,” Ronald suddenly said.

"Where?" He asked without even looking back.

"I just found a new bar. And guess what, I heard that there are lots of gorgeous, sexy, and rich women that go into that bar! So, how about checking it out?" Ronald happily and excitedly said.

"Just invite someone else," he said.

He stopped what he was doing when Ronald forcibly took the papers he was holding.

His forehead furrowed. "What now? Ronald, please, stop bothering me. I have to finish all of this today,” he said while trying to snatch the papers that Ronald had taken.

"Again?" Ronald's complaint as he stood on his side, its back leaning against his desk. "What excuse are you going to tell me this time?" He asked.

He took a deep breath then took the papers Ronald was taking. "Look, I have no time for that. I have a lot more to do,” he answered then pushed Ronald away from his table then he returned to what he was doing.

"Be honest with me, Steven. Answer me truthfully, okay?" Ronald approached him again, its mouth was close to his ear. "Do you have a girlfriend?" Ronald whispered in his ear.

"I do not have a girlfriend,” he answered truthfully.

I don't have a girlfriend because what I have is a boyfriend.

He shook his head and smiled slightly at the thought.

"See? You're smiling like an idiot! I knew it! You already have a girlfriend!" Ronald exclaimed.

He turned his gaze on Ronald and gave him a tricky stare. "Shut up! In case you forgot, it is still working hours," he said.

Ronald just grinned. "So, you finally healed your broken heart, huh? What does she look like? Is she gorgeous? Cute? Sexy? Is she good in bed?"

He acted thinking. "Hmm…let's see…Ah, yes?" He answered while smiling.

Ronald slapped his back so hard that it made him gasp.

"What the fuck!" He complained but Ronald just gave him a grin.

"You are one hell of a lucky bastard!" Ronald said, still grinning.

He just shook his head.

"So, when are you going to introduce her to me?" Ronald asked again and went back to standing next to him.

"And why should I introduce her to you?" He asked back in return.

"Of course! I need to evaluate her."

He shook his head. "Nah. You will just say foolish things to her,” he answered while smiling.

"Oh, come on! You're just afraid that she might get turned off and break up with you once she knows your dirtiest secrets."

He shook his head again. "That is unlikely to happen. Besides, I don't have any dirty secrets. Don't lump me in with you,” he answered with confidence. "And she's the one chasing after me anyway."

Ronald laughed out loud at what he said causing them to get the full attention of their co-workers. Ronald bowed his head and apologized. And when Ronald looked at him again, he already had a foolish grin on his lips.

"I never thought you could be this conceited. Just a few days ago, you were gloomy and looked so miserable because you got rejected by your beloved Shaina but look at you now!" Ronald said with a wide grin on his face.

He laughed a little at what his friend said. "Asshole,” he said while shaking his head. "Go back to your cubicle and do your work,” he said and pushed his friend away who's still unable to remove the grin on its lips.

"All right, all right. I won't disturb you anymore, Mr. Lover Boy,” Ronald said before he finally left and returned to its cubicle.

He shrouded again. He wondered how his friend would react once he found out that what he has is a boyfriend and not a girlfriend.

Just as he was done sorting out the paperwork on his desk, his phone rang. He picked up his phone and raised a brow when he read a message from Yuki.

Yuki wanted him to pick him up.

He grabbed his bag and bid goodbye to his colleagues, telling them that he would go home first.

When he left their building, he immediately hailed a taxi. And when he got on board, he called Yuki.

"Where are you?" He asked.

"I'm still at the University," Yuki answered from the other line.

"Okay. I'm on my way."

"Okay. I'll just wait for you outside,” Yuki said before cutting off the call.

It's been a week since they became lovers, and this is the first time Yuki has asked him to pick him up. They always meet either in his apartment or in Yuki's apartment. They never even went out together.

When he reached the University where Yuki was studying, he immediately looked for him. Yuki is studying at one of the most popular Universities in the country and is taking an Architecture course.

He looked around and when he saw Yuki, his eyes narrowed, then he frowned when he saw Yuki talking to a man.

The two were talking happily and even laughing together. He could not see the face of the man that Yuki was talking to, so he took a few steps to see the man's face properly until he did not realize that he was already close to where the two were.

Yuki's companion immediately noticed him. The man frowned at him before looking at Yuki again and then pointed his finger at him.

Yuki's face instantly brightened when he saw him.

Yuki quickly approached him. He has a big smile on his lips. "How long have you been here?" Yuki asked, its voice is very lively.

"I just arrived,” he answered.

He looked at the man again who immediately smiled at him when their eyes met. And for some unknown reason, he could not smile back at the guy.

"Who is he?" He asked Yuki while still staring at the man Yuki had just talked to happily.

Yuki followed his gaze. "Oh!" Yuki exclaimed. Yuki approached the guy and pulled him closer to him. Yuki settled between the two of them. "This is Layland, my schoolmate and a good friend of mine."

Yuki turned to him again then held his hand which surprised him.

"And Layland, this is Steven, my boyfriend."

His eyes widened at what Yuki had said. He withdrew his hand that Yuki was holding and quickly turned around to look around them.

"Yuki! What are you doing?" He whispered angrily to him.

Yuki looked at him innocently. Its forehead was furrowed and there was astonishment in his eyes.

"Introducing you?" Yuki answered with a confused, but at the same time, innocent look on his face.

"I know that. But don't just casually say to everyone that I am your boyfriend,” he said, still whispering in Yuki's ear.

Yuki just rolled his eyes and took his hand again and held it tightly.

He tried to get away from him, but Yuki only tightened the grip of his hand.

"Yuki—"

"Um…Excuse me?" Layland suddenly said that caught both of their attention. And Layland, raising one of his eyebrows while looking at Yuki hands gripping on his, did not escape from Steven's eyes. "I don't know what's the real deal between the two of you, but can you not make a scene here? You, too, are already grabbing the other student's attention." Layland said and pointed at the few students who were looking at them, specifically at Yuki's hands holding his.

He suddenly felt nervous. People were staring at them while whispering.

He closed his eyes tightly. And when he opened his eyes, he turned to Layland again and smiled at the guy.

"Layland, right?" He asked.

Layland nodded as a reply.

"It was nice meeting you but we gotta go." That was all he said, then without warning, he pulled Yuki, who was surprised by what he did, and walked away.

"Hey! Just wait…" Yuki complained as he continued to pull him. "Steven…just a moment!" He complained again and tried to take its hand that he was holding but he didn't let him. "Hey! Fuck! What's your problem?" Yuki asked in an annoyed tone, but he just ignored him.

He just kept on dragging Yuki until they finally reached a park, where not many people were hanging out.

Yuki hissed when he finally let go of his hand.

"What the hell was that?" Yuki angrily asked.

"I should be the one to ask you that! What the hell was that!" He asked angrily back at Yuki.

Yuki frowned. He did not seem to understand what he was saying.

"What?" Yuki asked again with his knotted forehead.

He did not answer him and instead, he just turned his back on him while his hands were on his waist.

"Wait…" Yuki said. "Is this about how I introduced you to Layland?"

When he still did not answer, Yuki sarcastically laughed. "So, this is all about that,” he could feel the annoyance in its voice. "You are acting like this because I introduced you as my boyfriend? But isn't that our relationship? Lovers?" When he still did not answer, Yuki laughed again. "Don't tell me you're backing down from our deal?"

He looked back at Yuki. "No! It's not like that!" He said in an annoyed tone. "But you could have thought of my situation first. You know that I am still not used to this. You know that I am not gay—"

"Oh, stop that bullshit!" Yuki angrily said, not even letting him finish what he wanted to say. "We already fucked yet you're still saying that?"

"Yuki—"

"Fine!" Yuki, cutting him off again. "Then tell me the do's and don'ts. Tell me the things that you don't want me to do."

He could still feel and hear the annoyance in its voice. He took a deep breath and calmed himself.

Nothing will happen if they are both furious.

He stared into Yuki's eyes, took a deep breath again then approached Yuki and hugged him.

Yuki did not budge. He did not even move.

"I'm sorry,” he whispered in its ear. "I am sorry. I didn't mean to do that." Yuki did not speak so he continued. "You know that all of this is new to me, right? I am still not used to this, but I am trying Yuki. I am trying. So please, please, just bear with me,” he explained.

A few minutes passed before Yuki hugged him back then sighed deeply. "Fine. But I hope that this won't happen again,” Yuki said. And even though he could not see his face, he was sure that he was pouting.

"As long as you don't startle me like that again. Let's just make this easy, okay?"

Yuki separated himself from him then stared at him. "You only gave me a month and then you want me to make this easy? No! It's not fair!" He complained.

He just laughed at what Yuki said. "We've only been together for a week, but we are already fighting. If this goes on, we may not last a month,” he said, trying to annoy Yuki.

"Hey, hey, hey! Stop that. Besides, do you honestly think I'll just let you go this easily? You know, Our one-month deal might turn into a year or even more than a year."

He raised his brow. "And how sure are you about that?"

Yuki grinned. "I am sure! I mean, who knows? Maybe in the next few days or weeks, you'll just realize that you have already fallen in love with me,” he mischievously said then winked at him.

He shook his head then smiled. "You are one hell of an arrogant young man, aren't you?"

Yuki's grin widened. "Not really. I'm just being honest. Besides, I am not all talk, you know? I am more into action. Because when I want something, I make sure that I will have it no matter what. Be it something or someone,” he said, its tone was full of conviction.

He approached the young man, patted his right shoulder, and whispered in his ear. "Then, do your best,” he said that caused a wide grin on Yuki's lips.

"Aren't you doing anything this week?" Steven asked Yuki.

They are both in his apartment and Yuki is currently washing the dishes while he is reading a book.

"Nothing, why?" Yuki answered without even looking at him.

"Nothing. I just would like to invite you to watch a movie with me. The movie I was waiting for was already out so I was wondering if you would like to go with me,” he casually asked.

And in just a few seconds, Yuki was already right in front of him, that startled him a lot, and its eyes were shining. "Are you asking me out on a date?" Yuki asked excitedly.

His forehead furrowed. "Date?" He repeated the question.

Yuki nodded and there was still excitement in its eyes.

Is he thinking that I am inviting him on a date?

The fun and excitement on Yuki's face were obvious and somehow, he just doesn't want to disappoint him.

He smiled at him. "Yes. I am asking you out on a date,” he answered.

Yuki's eyes widened even more at what he said.

He knew it was wrong for him to make him feel like he could expect something from him, especially that there was no guarantee that he would fall in love with him. But every time he sees the joy on its face, somehow, he does not want to replace it with sadness and frustration.

"So?" He asked again.

"Of course, I want to! I want to go on a date with you!" Yuki exclaimed happily which made him laugh.

He was about to go back to reading when he realized that Yuki was still not leaving.

"Why?" He asked with a furrowed forehead.

Yuki grinned mischievously before he started taking off the apron that he was wearing. He also took the book he was reading and placed it in the middle of the table then he stood between his thighs.

"Yuki…What are you doing?"

Yuki caressed his cheek down to his neck with a grin on his face.

Yuki did not answer him. Instead, he just knelt between his thighs.

His breathing quickened. He already knew what Yuki was planning to do.

"Yuki…"

Yuki inserted his hand inside the jersey shorts he was wearing then he held his cock. He sighed as his finger caressed the tip of his manhood without taking off his shorts.

Gradually, his manhood hardened. And all he was able to do was just look up at the ceiling when Yuki's palm started moving up and down his cock.

And to his surprise, Yuki suddenly pulled down his shorts, letting his cock visible in its eyes.

Yuki smiled seductively. "Thank you for the meal," Yuki said before he swallowed his manhood which made his eyes widen in shock and pleasure.
