“Excuse me, I am here to meet Arthur Perry,” Ethan said to Arthur’s secretary.

She looked at the handsome man in front of her and smiled brightly, “Sir, do you have an appointment?”

Ethan replied, “Ah... Actually no. I was in the city and wanted to drop by and give a surprise to him,”

“Oh, are you boss’ friend?” She asked wondering if she should just let him in.

“Yes, I am. You can inform him about my arrival.”

She nodded her head, “Just a second sir.” She picked up the phone and called Arthur.

“Sir, someone is here to meet you and he goes by the name Ethan,” she said.

“Ethan? What is his last name?” she heard her boss.

She looked at the man in front of her, “Your last name?”

“Francis, Ethan Francis,” he said loud enough for Arthur to hear on the other end. Arthur dropped the file that he was engrossed in and placed his hand on his heart. Hearing the name, his heart started beating erratically.

Before his secretary could say anything, he said, “Send him in.” She led the way to Arthur’s office and Ethan followed her. She pointed at the door and immediately went back to her desk.

Ethan entered Arthur's office. Before Ethan could turn around, Arthur was behind him. He pulled Ethan into his body and slammed his body into Ethan’s simultaneously. Arthur did not waste any time and smacked his lips on Ethan’s.

After a little struggle, Ethan got used to Arthur’s lips and body. They had a little makeout session before parting while heavily breathing and swollen lips.

“Don’t you have a secret security camera in your office?” Ethan asked, catching his breath.

Arthur grinned, “I have switched it off.”

“You are such a cheeky idiot,” Ethan laughed. They walked to the couch and sat down.

“For what do I owe this surprise visit?” Arthur asked trying to make his hair right which was disoriented because of their makeout earlier.

“I was in the city for work….” Arthur stared at Ethan's face with doubts and Ethan could tell he was caught, he groaned, “Ah… it was not my project but someone close to me was an integral part of the shoot. So I came down to visit you taking her as an excuse.”

Arthur raised his brows, “Her? A Girl?”

“Are you jealous of a girl?” Ethan chuckled.

“Yes, because you just mentioned her as someone close to you,”

“Arty, she is very very close to me. And you know she is very much similar to Amity in attitude,”

Arthur was not satisfied with the answer despite knowing that Ethan is very much gay. He felt a little jealous because Ethan had someone as very close to him.

Noticing Arthur’s expression, Ethan got a fair idea about what he was thinking. He immediately got up and sat next to Arthur.

Ethan leaned down and kissed Arthur’s lips, “I love you, only you.” Arthur could not control his smile now.

“Now, come on, get off from work and let’s roam around a bit and then go straight to my hotel room. We have a lot of making up to do for the lost years.” Ethan winked at Arthur who had become darker than crimson.

So, Arthur’s schedule for the next 3 days was rearranged and he spent most of the time with Ethan, including nights. What the love birds had not noticed was, Liam’s personal investigator tailing them everywhere.

2 Months Later

“Ethan, will you come and pick us up from the airport?”

“Where are we staying? Hotel? Your Home?”

“Which places are you taking me to?”

“What is so special about New York?”

“You should come down here, then I will take you to all of my favorite places.”

It was the last day of Amity’s final exams and boy was she not excited about the summer vacations. At the moment, Amity was sitting cross legged, on a trolley bag and twirling her hair while talking to Ethan on her father’s phone.

Her parents were still getting ready and she was waiting for them downstairs while also checking up the schedule and stuff with Ethan. To say she was excited would be an understatement. She was beyond excited. She could barely recite the poem in her exam and got out immediately running to her father. She wanted to travel to New York on the last day of her exam only. She did not want to waste any time for whatsoever reason.

“Papa!!! Mama!!! Come down soon. It is getting for the flight!!” Amity screamed loudly.

Emily came downstairs, carrying her personal bag. She was tired of controlling her daughter.

“Calm down, Amy. You are behaving like you are traveling to meet your long lost boyfriend,” Emily said.

Amity giggles at her mother’s words, “I don’t mind if it is Ethan. He is sooooo handsome.” Ethan, who was still on the other end of the phone chuckled hearing Amity and Emily’s conversation.

“Alright, let’s get going now,” Arthur said trying his best to hide his excitement about meeting Ethan. He could not say anything to his daughter about being extremely hyped for traveling to New York, after all, they were going to meet Ethan, his Ethan.

“Ok, then. I am coming for you, Ethan. Bye now.”Amity jumped down the trolley bag and returned her father’s phone and ran to the car and got seated and tucked herself into the car seat and Emily sighed, shaking her head at her daughter’s behavior. She then got settled in the car. Arthur followed them outside, smiling like an idiot.
