"He's gay." I say flatly as I sat in our bosses office.

Jess looks visibly annoyed but I don't care.

"Arthur are you a fucking child! You can't man up and work with one of our best employees because he's gay!" Mr. Copper says and I shrug.

"Yeah pretty much?" I say and it's all very much true leaving out the small details that one: I am too, and two: Mr. Smart funny and handsome can easily steal my very virgin heart and honestly I'd rather get shoot in the knee then catch feelings for some homo play boy.

Nope, no way I'm spending a week sharing a hotel room with someone with the body of a Greek statue and naturally curly hair.

There's no way I'm showering where he showered.

"Arthur." Copper growls.

"Look I want off this assignment, I said my piece and that's it."

"Don't get me wrong but isn't refusal to work with someone because of their sexual preference or gender identity, very illegal, so shouldn't he be fired. And if he doesn't get fired, can't I sue the company." Jess chimes in and I glare at him.

Copper looks as if he was given and out and smiles.

"Eactly, you see the rock and hard place I'm in." He says and I sigh.

"No I'm not refusing to work with you because ot your sexual preference or gender identity, I'm refusing because I don't like you as a person and the fact that you're gay is one more major reason in an army or reasons I don't want to work this assignment with you." I say flatly.

"Either you work the assignment or you resign." Copper says pissing me off and I wonder if loosing my job was worth it.

"Fine, I'll do the assignment." I say before standing.

"I'll see you tomorrow morning mi amor." He says trying harder to piss me off. But no, no amount of suits and brushed hair will change my thoughts about him.

We arrive at the airport and of course he's in casual clothes that looked adorable on him.

He smiles the moment he sees me properly excited for all the ways he could torture me. But I can't help but find the way his cheeks slightly turn red cute.

"I assumed you were gonna sleep in so you wouldn't have to take the same flight as me." He jokes and I curse myself for him having to give me such a good idea.

"Lets just get this shit show over." I away and he pouts in a cute way.

The moment we're in first class I sit down and instantly notice the guy behind me.

Oh, he's cute. I think as the tall strong man walks into first class like he owned the plain.

He sits a few rows in front of us and my eyes instantly go to his sexy and wide back. His long blonde hair was pulled into a messy ponytail and he looked like he was on his way back from some Vagas wedding.

God give me a chance to talk to him.

I think as he takes his seat. Maybe I'll walk past and bump into him on accident. I think until realizing I just need to go for it.

I stand before walking over to the handsome stranger and turning to the second seat next to him.

"Is this seat free?" I ask and he smiles.
