MANUEL: what do you want?

DAVE: sorry to disturb you, sir but miss Ella keeps calling ( the phone he was holding a
Started ringing ) she wants to talk to you saying that it's important.

MANUEL: inform miss Ella that I will speak with her when am less busy. And warn her that if she continues to disturb my work then there would be no business to discuss. Do you understand?

DAVE; yes sir. Mr. Pablo called he would like to push the meeting to lunchtime. you don't have anything scheduled at that time can I inform him that it's okay sir?

MANUEL: yes, inform Mr. Pablo that lunchtime is fine.

DAVE: alright sir. ( He noticed that Manuel was about to say something but he hesitated) sir is there something you want to say?

MANUEL: no it's fine. ( Dave nods and walks out of the office. A while later Manuel look at his watch and saw that it was almost lunchtime ) I told him not to be late( he said angrily then stood up and walk out of the office.  Federick stood outside the company looks up to the sky and then back to the floor he took a deep breath in and out )
FEDRICK: what am I doing here( he looks around ) just go in there and deliver the food then leave ( he walks into the company and walks up to the receptionist ) hello.

RECEPTIONIST: hello how may I help you?

FEDRICK: am here to deliver Mr. Manual Ortiz's lunch.

RECEPTIONIST: Mr. Ortiz is not in his office he went out for lunch already.

FEDRICK: What? (he said angrily)he told me to bring lunch when he went out to have lunch? Fine, you want lunch you are going to have it. ( he walks out of the company and then drives to the restaurant Manuel normally has lunch he enters the restaurant and looks around then he saw Manuel talking to a man he walks up to him. Manuel was surprised but at the same time he felt relief in his heart ) you ordered lunch Mr. Ortiz(he said angrily)

Manual: what are you doing here?
( Mr. Pablo looks at Fedrick then back to Manuel )

Mr. PABLO: is he someone you know?

MANUEL: yes he...

FEDRICK: no we don't know each other, am just the delivery boy he asks to bring lunch when he knows he doesn't need it. In fact, how about I deliver the food here so you could have everything together.

MANUEL: calm down Fedrick there is...

FEDRICK: don't tell me what to do( he said angrily and dropped the lunch box on the table and then brought out the food placing them on the table, the space was too small so some food started falling. Mr. Paolo was surprised he quickly stood up. Dave run-in )

Mr. PABLO: young man what is the meaning of this? ( Manuel looks at Mr. Pablo )

Manual: don't yell at him( they look at Manuel. He drags the lunch box out of Fedrick's hand. Frederick glared at him and walks away ) Dave put all the food he brought into this box. Mr. Pablo am sorry for all this please let's have this meeting some other time.
( he walks away when he got outside he looks around and saw Fedrick stomping to the parking lot he ran up to him and holds his hand)

FEDRICK: let go of me ( he said angrily ) I've delivered the lunch you asked for there is nothing left for me to fulfill.

MANUEL: you have to watch me eat the food. How do I know if it's not poisoned ( Fedrick glared at him )

FEDRICK: my mom made that food you bastard( Manuel was surprised ) she took her time making the food saying that fast food is not good for the health only for me to show up and you are not there.

MANUEL: I'm sorry (Fedrick looks at him)

FEDRICK: what?

MANUEL: I thought you were not going to show up and the meeting is important so I had to leave. I'm sorry
( Fedrick put down his face )

FEDRICK: it took a while to prepare the food.

MANUEL: you still have to watch me eat.

FEDRICK: why the hell do I need to do that?

MANUEL: language puppy.

FEDRICK: you don't get to call me that and I'll say whatever the hell I want( Manuel drags him close he felt so delicate in his arm they stare at each other Manuel's eyes fall on his lips it looks so soft and pink. The thought of how it would feel and taste like flashed through his mind he was shocked but he quickly shake it off)

MANUEL: for a mouth so small a lot of bad words do come out of it( he smiled at Fedrick) from now on whenever you are with me you are only allowed to say nice words do you understand?

FEDRICK: you don't tell me what to do let me go right this instant.

Manual: I'll never do that. Come on I need to eat.

FEDRICK: you've already done that.

MANUEL: I've not eaten yet. I lost my appetite when you didn't show up but now I feel like eating the food your mom especially made for me. Come on. ( he drags Fedrick along they got to the car Dave was inside waiting for them ) get in Fedrick we are going back to my office.

FEDRICK: I never agree to follow you anywhere let go of me, Manuel (Manuel's heart almost leaps out of his chest the moment heard his name come out of Fedrick's mouth. He moves so close to Fedrick and smiles, he could smell the sweet scent coming from Fedrick)

MANUAL: say it again.

FEDRICK: say what?

MANUEL: my name( Fedrick scoffed ) say it again. 

FEDRICK: I don't want to. ( Manuel moved closer to him staring at him) fine, Manuel, Manuel are you happy now?
