15 - Belong to Me

The night after Jared and Tyler's reunion, Tyler was back at Erde working as hard as ever. He was trying to compile a few documents for Tom. He checked his wrist watch for the time, since he had to be somewhere soon. After completing the documents he sprinted over to Tom's office and knocked first waiting for Tom's response.

"Come in!" Tom replied and saw Tyler peak his head over before fully coming into the room.

"President Welling, it's time for your business dinner with Mr. Malver from PC Planning." Tyler reminded him politely.

"Really?" Tom queried surprised and looked over the watch and saw that it was time. "Wow, time sure flies by. Thank you for telling me." He said and grabbed his coat from the rack and walked quickly towards the elevator while Tyler gave him his papers and explained his schedule to him.

"There aren't really much changes in your schedule for tomorrow."

"All right." Tom looked over the entire office and realized it was completely devoid of anyone else, but him and Tyler. "Where're you're coworkers?"

"Oh, that. Well, they already went home because you were the only superior left in the building." Tyker replied offhandedly as if it wasn't relevant.

"I see... Thank you, again." Tom stated and looked right at Tyler. He turned towards the elevator and waited for the doors to open.

"Have a good evening!" Tyler sent off and waved goodbye. As the doors closed, Tyler lingered for a few minutes and had his hand in mid wave. Suddenly, Tyler quickly gathered his possessions and headed out of the building. He was walking fast enough to that it seemed like he was running, but he controlled himself to make sure not to catch anyone's attention. After exiting the building, he was halted when a familiar voice called his name.

"Tyler!" Cliff called the younger man over standing right by his car that was situated between Erde and the building next to it. Little did they know that a certain blue eyed President was watching them from the seat of his own car.

Tyler and Cliff climbed in quickly and never noticed a thing. Tom watched their every move with suspicious eyes.

Back at Jared's new building, Tyler was welcomed with a yelling and puffing Jared. "You're late!" Jared said angrily while puffing on his cigarette faster than a train.

"... I'm very sorry..." Tyler replied tiredly.

"I feel sick at just the thought of sharing my mate with that Welling guy. How many times do I have to tell you to quit?" Jared demanded dressed in another all black suit.

"And how many times do I have to tell you that I'm not doing that." Tyler reiterated, once again. "I was reappointed at Erde for one year, and I am not squelching on my duties. Most of the work there depends on me. Besides doing something as irresponsible as quitting is..." Tyler trailed off after looking up when he felt a tall shadow looming over him. As he spoke he never realized Jared moving closer and closer until they only had an inch separating them. His heart jumped at the closeness of Jared's body and did his best to hide his reaction. "Anyway, I'm part of the team at the secretarial office, and it's my duty to help my executive superiors." Tyler continues until his back reached the floor to ceiling window with Jared's body pinning him there. "Besides, I'm not President Welling's private secretar-" He halted as Jared suddenly cupped his face and caressed his cheeks. Jared stopped to his neck and looked at him intently.

"You do realize that I will never let you get away from me. So, why do insist on saying such things?" Jared questioned.

"Umm... that's..."
