Rich Man's Gamble

Chapter 1

Alex P.O.V.

The sun hit me and Eric's face where we laid in bed. I heard Eric groan next to me before he rolled over, putting his head in the crook of my neck. "Eric. We need to wake up." He groaned in response. "Eric," I said while I pulled him closer, "We need to get up. We both have meetings today and yes I understand that we don’t have to be their right now. But, you get grumpy when we don't stick to schedule." Eric sighed. "Yeah you're right." He sat up and streached before kissing my lips. "Come on. You and I need to shower and I'll get our clothes laid out while you get breakfast." He said. His voice had a little rasp to it from waking up. "Alright." I whispered, kissing him once more before getting up to ask our chef for breakfast. "Lois. Can you bring me and Ericson some breakfast?" I asked the kind, elderly woman. She smiled at me. "Of course Mr. Blackburn. Your breakfast will be out in a couple minutes." I nodded then turned on my heel and headed into the shower. I rinsed my hair and body before stepping out. I grabbed my towel then dried myself off. I wrapped the towel around my waist tightly and walked out into my room. Me and Eric have separate bathrooms to be more efficient. Though that doesn't stop us from showering together on occasions. I walked out to see a black long sleeve button down shirt with dark blue slacks on the bed for me. Eric walked in wearing a burgundy colored short sleeve button down shirt with black slacks similar to mine. He had both mine and his ties in his hands. He had a dark red tie for himself and a navy blue tie for me. I heard a knock at our door and Eric answered it. Lois was there with our breakfast.  "Here you go Mr. Frankford and Mr. Blackburn. I made you a bagel and lox," She said directed at me, "and French toast for you." She said giving the French toast to Eric.  "Thank you, Lois, for making our breakfast." Eric told her sincerely.  "It was no problem.  It is what I'm being paid for." She said before meandering back to the kitchen to probably clean up. Me and Eric sat down on our sofa to eat. We both looked at each other and sighed, thinking of the meetings that waited for us when we would enter the office.
