His Personal Assistant

Chapter 12: Black Cat & Golden Retriever.

After dropping Austyn off, Rogan goes back home and for the first time in his life, he feels happy. He couldn't wait for morning to arrive to see Austin again. Just a couple of streets away, another person, named Austyn was feeling just the same, despite the rumor that was going on, he couldn't help but feel happy about tonight, they both weren't sure exactly why and what the reason was but what they're sure of is that they'll be putting their issues and past behind them, moving on to something new.

{Next Morning, Rogan's office, 8:09 AM}

Rogan enters his office, walks over to his desk, and looks at Austyn's desk. Their eyes met "Good Morning, Mr. Neilson" Rogan says, with a little smile. Austyn stared at Rogan in awe, he looked the brightest today, he wore a beige Sharktooth type of fabric suit, his jet black hair like usual slicked back, he looked mesmerizing. "Good Morning, Mr. Clifton" Austyn replied "Would you like me to bring you your coffee, sir?" Austyn asked. "That won't be necessary, Mr. Neilson. As I'll be getting it myself today, would you like me to bring you something?" Rogan asked, putting down his briefcase on his desk. "Well, well, well! somebody is in a good mood today." Austyn teased. Rogan scoffs, smirking "Tell me before I change my mind, ass." He says "A latte with two spoons of sugar will do." Austyn replied.

{7 minutes later.}

Rogan returns to his office and gives Austyn his coffee "Here you go, is it good?" Rogan asks, watching Austyn taking a sip "Yep, just right." he replies "No 'thank you' you ungrateful ass?" Rogan asked, hearing Austyn laugh "Thank you" he said. After they were done with work, they met some news reporters on their way out, Rogan didn't say much other than "I did not write such an article" and pushed further and out of the crowd of reporters, Austyn didn't say anything since Rogan told him so. They left together, and Rogan drove Austyn to his place.

Rogan stops the car and looks at Austyn "See you tomorrow?" He says to which Austyn nods in reply "No arguments today, can you believe it?" Austyn asked "Yeah, progress, right?" Rogan said "Alright see you tomorrow then..." Austyn says, grabbing the car door handle, he hesitates before he looks back at Rogan "Uhm...n-night." Austyn says, Rogan smiles "Goodnight, Austyn." Rogan replies, It was unusual of Austyn to say something like this to him but it's all about progress at the moment so he didn't mind it. They both didn't want this night to end like this, they wanted to spend more time with each other but none of them said anything about it.

{That Same Night.}

Rogan tossed and turned in bed for Three hours, he couldn't sleep, not that he could sleep every day soundly, but this one was different, instead of having thoughts of work and family issues, he had thoughts of Austyn 'Could he be sleeping right now?' He thought to himself, looking at the clock, it was '11:34 PM' He sighed and pushed the cover off him, reaching out to his phone that was sitting on his end table. He goes to messages and clicks Austyn's phone number.

Rogan: "Hey, you awake?"

Austyn: "Yes, couldn't sleep?" 

Rogan: "No. you could?" 

Austyn: "Nope." 

Rogan: "Wanna hang out?" 

Austyn: "Right now?"

Rogan: "Why not?"

Austyn: "Okay but if we hang out, where would we go? Almost every place is closed right now."

Rogan: "Well, parks are open... and so is my place."

Austyn: "Your place?"

Rogan: "I mean my penthouse has everything, I've got a Bar room, Games room, a Gym, Movie room, Shooting room, a Sauna, a Private Pool, ... a Jacuzzi."
