Cliché (MUKE)

Are you mad at me?

AN/ Update!! No smut :p

I didn’t hear anything from Luke all Sunday so when I walked into work on Monday morning I was nervous.

“You ok there Michael? You look nervous?” Mirry asked me.

“Just didn’t sleep well.” I tell her.

“Ok, odd Luke came in looking all nervous too.” Mirry says.

“Why was he nervous?” I asked her.

“He just shrugged and he looked like he’d been crying. Maybe Jack and Ben we’re teasing him again.” Mirry says with a shrug.

“Ok, well I hope he’s feeling better.” I tell her.

“He went out to get your coffee.” Mirry informs me, I nod and then walk up to my office.

“Mr. Clifford.” Ben calls to me as I walk up to my office, he steps up next to me hand hands me some files.

“My dad took his phone.” Ben whispers to me, I look up at him shocked but he simply walked away again. So that’s why Luke didn’t ring, ow shit what if he recognizes my number?

I sat in my office and as soon as I felt comfortable Mr. Hemmings walked in.

“Morning Michael!” Mr. H says cheery, I put on my best fake smile and nod at him.

“Morning H.” I greet him, he hands me another file and I raise my eyebrow at him.

“Need a report on this, you’ve got mails too.” He tells me, I nod at him.

“And where’s my useless excuse of a son?” He then asks me, I hide my fist that I’ve made as I look at him.

“Out to get my coffee Mirry told me.” I reply.

“Good, let’s hope he does a good job today.” Mr. Hemmings tells me.

“He’s been doing great sir.” I tell him.

“Has he been texting people on the job?” Mr. H asks me.

“No Mr. H, he’s been focused on the work I give him.” I tell him.

“Why do you ask?” I ask then.

“Seems like he’s got a boyfriend, yet I’ve never met this kid and he’s never mentioned it. I might not like the fact he’s gay but going behind my back makes it worse.” Mr. H says, he then looks at me shocked.

“What’s so wrong about being gay?” I ask him.

“Ow nothing, I euh I didn’t mean to offend you Michael. I euh I just mean like I ehm…” Mr. H trails off since I glare at him.

“I think you’ve said enough.” I tell him.

“Is that a tone to use against your boss?” Mr. H asks me.

“Being a homophobic asshole isn’t a way to act around your gay employee, especially one that does his job as good as I do mine.” I tell him.

“You’re right, I’m sorry.” He then says, he knows he can’t lose me. Without me he’d never be able to run this business.

“I’m sorry for the tone I used sir.” I tell him, not actually sorry about it. Luke chose this exact moment to walk in and he could feel the tension.

“Goodmorning Luke.” I greet him.

“Goodmorning Mr. Clifford.” Luke greets me back, he hands me my coffee and then sits down drinking whatever he had gotten himself.

“Well ehm, let me know about that report then.” Mr. H says.

“I will Mr. Hemmings.” I tell him, he looks at me oddly since I hardly ever call him Mr. Hemmings and I was still glaring at him.

“Thanks Michael.” He mutters, then he leaves.

“I’m sorry for not texting, I can explain.” Luke tells me.

“Your dad has your phone.” I state simply, sipping my coffee as my laptop starts up.

“Yes, I deleted your contact before he took it though.” Luke says, I nod at him.

“Are you mad at me?” Luke asks me, I look up at him seeing his eyes glossing over.

“No, I’m mad at your father.” I tell him honestly.

“Why?” Luke asks me.

“Because he said some things he shouldn’t have said.” I reply, I give him a look saying ‘stop asking questions’ and he understood since he nodded and sipped his whatever.

“What did you get?” I ask him.

“A latte, I was very tired.” Luke mutters, I nod and then log into my email.

“Could you get my second laptop out?” I ask him, he does as told and starts it us, sitting across from me.

“Here’s a file Ben gave me, read it and tell me what it’s about as I write up this report for Mr. H.” I tell him, he grabs the file and starts reading it, pushing his glasses up ever so often as he reads. It’s cute how he presses his thumb to his lips as he reads.

AN/Short update, mi scuzy :p nothing really happened but Michael got mad at MR. H!!! WOHOOO!!!!
