Falling For You

Chapter 5

Both of them took a seat in a dark area on a table for two in a corner. " Mr.Hayes, I read your resume. Why are you working as a janitor, when you can be working in one of my offices?" Tyson shifted in his chair and took a sip of his water.

" Well, college was not for me and it's a lot of responsibility working in an office. It's more freedom working as a delivery guy or as a janitor. You get to meet everyone and make them laugh, that's what I'm all about," Mr.West stayed quiet for a little but you can see his enthusiasm about him.

" What do your parents think?"

Tyson took a second before answering, " My parents died a couple years ago, I moved here on a scholarship. I live in a rented studio close to your building," Mr.West fixed his posture and regretted his question.

" I apologize, it's admirable to see how you still work and keep that positive energy," Tyson smiled, and once the waiter brought them their food. He had a question for Mr.West.

" Why are you so serious and grumpy about life? You've got everything," Mr.West let out a small laugh. " You think I have everything, try being my dad's son. And my brother's brother. They are the worst human beings in the world. Yes, I might have the money and power of the business but it's not everything," Tyson surprised continued with one last question.

" Did a woman break your heart?"

And that made Richard West break out more in laughter.

" No, a woman wouldn't be able to break my heart," He reassured Tyson giving him a clue of something we all suspect.

" Speaking of women, is there one in your life?"

Tyson stayed quiet and ate some of his food from his plate. " I don't know if I should say this but I'm gay. Does that affect me in my job?"

Richard West's eyes went wide and with a small smirk, he answered Tyson. "Not," They both continued to eat in silence.
