James: let's just say my boss told me about a position available within the Dallas Texas branch of the company I work for. I was telling my co worker who's a guy Marco that I am in a new relationship and he was happy for me. He asked me who the new lady is. I said Marco it's not a lady. Marcos jaw dropped. He said wait it's not a lady? Then I said this needs to be between us only. I said Marco I met a guy the Saturday before last week at a club. The guy and I are doing long distance dating for now. So I am gay Marco. Marcos jaw dropped big time. Soon after my boss walked in and interrupted my conversation and asked what are you two talking about that is so fascinating that Marcos jaw is dropped. So I told him everything even told him you my boyfriend live in Dallas Texas. My boss proceeded to tell me that the Dallas branch has an opening and said maybe you should think about transferring to the Dallas branch location so you can be closer to your boyfriend. So I submitted a transfer request form and it got approved.
Nicks jaw drops.
Nick: Oh my freaking gosh!
Nick immediately places a bunch of kisses all over James face. Then kisses his lips
Nick: this is the best news ever!
James: I love you Nick. I am never letting you go. It's you and me against the world.
