Him, and Him

Chapter Five

Warmth.
I felt a strange warmth. On my chest. My bare chest.
Cole.
Cole is sound asleep on my chest.
Did we have sex?
No... My boxers are still on...
My controller is still in my hand. I look at cole, now that i really look his hair is much lighter. More blonde than brown.
Were both on the couch. Covered by one blanket.
I take a large inhale and see Coles head bob on my chest.
7:00 AM
Shit.
I slip out from beneath Cole and carefully rest his head on a pillow.
*. *.
Hey Cole.
Last night was great. Im at work right now. If you want to talk my cell is 555-2297.
Feel free to stay at my place for as long as you need. I dont know if you have a job, or that.
Feel free to also anything in the fridge.

~Alex.

I left a note for Cole. I grab my tea off the counter and walk out my door, grabbing Lucys umbrella, closing the door quietly so i dont wake Cole.
I take one last glance at his adorable face, and whisper,
"Love you."

The elevator doors open to my office with a ding.
Im greeted by Lucy. A grin plastered in her face.
"Hey."
She says.
"Mornin."
I walk over to my cubicle and turn on the computer. I open the companys website and sign in. I work on the website design. I start typing and sipping my tea.
Empty.
I walk over to the break room to get some coffee, but im greeted by Lucy.
"Hi."
She says again with a grin from ear to ear.
"Hello again."
I respond.
"So do you like your job here?"
She asks.
"Sure"
Its nice."
I answer.
I sip my coffee, and Lucy takes an awkward step toward me, with a devious smile on.
She lifts her hands and grabs my face too quickly for me to respond,
And plugs my lips with hers.
"Hmphrl!!!!"
I make a muffled scream.
I push her off of me and yell,
"Im gay!"
I had never seen such a look of surprise.
Lucys face burns red with embarrassing heat, and she runs towar the bathroom.
I just stand there with Lucys saliva in my mouth.

I step into the elevator, and email Lucy my resignation sheet.
Is it a resignation if you worked there for less than two days?
Maybe.
The rain outside pours down on my bare head, with the lack of Lucys umbrella.
Clack
Clack
My shoes make.
A cab pulls over and he takes me to my apartment.

I walk into my apartment to find cole in a new set of clothes.
"Hey."
I say.
"Oh. Hey."
He responds.
He gets up and walks over to me as i set my things down.
"You got mail today. Dont worry i didnt open it."
He hands me an envelope that says it was delivered from "Seattle Clothing Design co."I sit down on the couch with Cole next to me. I open the letter:

Dear Alex Mor,
