Chapter 16

They left their SportCruiser on the apron of the brown Field Airport in San Diego, where they also rented a car in order to drive to the 10 minute away Taco restaurant.

"This is, by far, the longest trip for lunch I have ever taken," Warren stated as they drove along the Otay Mesa Freeway.

Tristan smiled. "I like long trips for lunch - when I have the time. It's so much more interesting than always going to the same places. And, you know what they say: the road is the journey." He grinned brightly while Warren laughed.

"I thought that applies to cross-country road trips, not to going-to-lunch-trips."

Tristan shrugged with a laugh. "Why not both."

Warren also laughed, trying to determine what was going on. He still hadn't figured out what his boss' motives were for bringing him here because no matter how he twisted and turned it, he couldn't come to any satisfying conclusion.
Tanner didn't seem like the type who would hang out with his assistant for lack of a better companion, so he had to have some other motive, right?
But what?
Warren's silly mind kept pushing him towards the idea that maybe Tanner liked him and wanted to get to know him better, and this whole thing was an excuse to keep it casual; after all, dating his assistant could end up in a catastrophe if it didn't work out, so maybe the man was just trying to find out if- No, no, no. Warren mentally shook his head. That was an unhealthy train of thought. It led him to those awful, dumb, fantasies he had been having ever since that night. It had made his life awkward and uncomfortable on numerous occasions, and he didn't want to think that way. Tanner was his boss. And life was not a porn movie in which assistants have affairs with their bosses.
Also, because that really wasn't what Warren wanted; he didn't want to be some married, closeted boss' affair.
Not that Tanner was married, but... Or was he? Maybe he was! Alright, so he didn't wear a ring, but many married men didn't, so that didn't mean much; for all Warren knew, his boss was married and had 3 kids!
Except... If he were married, why hadn't anyone ever mentioned his wife? Why hadn't she ever called the office?
Alright, so maybe he wasn't married. But still! There was no proof of that! Maybe Tanner kept his wife a secret so that he could sleep around!
Did he even sleep around?
Warren had never heard of his boss sleeping around with anyone at the office, but then again, he hadn't even been there for 2 months, so maybe the man was just discreet. After all, he had nearly had a one-one-stand with Warren on the first day they ever saw each other!
Which meant that obviously Tanner was a cheap player, and Warren wanted nothing to do with him in that sense. Right?

Yes.

Tristan glanced over at the young man next to him, who was staring out the window with a slightly consternated expression on his face.
Was he not feeling well? Some people got a bit sick during flying, especially in small planes.

"So, what kind of tacos do you like?" Tristan tried casually, unsure what to talk about. Sure, there were a ton of things he would much rather speak of, but...

"Are you married?" Warren asked instead, giving him a strange look while Tristan stared so shocked at him that he nearly drove into the highway guardrail.

"What?! No..." Though Tristan was initially shocked, it did mean that Warren was thinking about it, so that was good. Extremely offensive and somewhat weird that he would think that, but still kinda good.

"Why not?" Warren continued as casually as if they were talking about tacos.

"Um... I don't know. Are you married?" Tristan retorted drily.
