They met on a night out, Dec was having one of his fancy charity balls to make his company look good and Ant was his waiter. As soon as Dec laid eyes on the tall dark haired man he knew he wanted to get to know him. That night when everyone had left Ant was clearing down and Dec took the chance to approach the man. "Ohh hello sir can I help you?" Ant looked at the smaller man. He took a deep breathe in "wow" he thought to himself. How can anyone be so handsome and good looking. Dec was stood there looking up at Ant his bow tie just hanging around his neck and the top button of his shirt undone. "I think everyone gone sir would you like to show you out?" Ant composed himself slightly not to look like an idiot in front of him. "No I'm okay I was hoping I would run into you actually" Dec took a step closer, he took a sip from his wine glass before placing it down on the table to the side of them. "Umm I don't understand?" Ant looked at him confused. "I've been watching you all night and I think we should get to know each other better, here's my business card" he looked down at his name badge "Call me Anthony" Dec winked at the taller man before turning around and exiting the building.

Later the next day Ant was sat on his sofa playing with Decs business card. He liked what he saw last night but what if he was like all the other snotty business men he'd dealt with before? He sat there weighing out all the pros and cons thoughts ticking through his brain. "Just go for it what is there to lose?" He thought to himself so he picked up his phone and took a deep breathe in and dialled the number. The phone rang and few times and Ant could feel his heart pounding in his chest. He liked this guy but was scared of what might happen. A man answered "Hello Declan Donnelly's  office" it must be a receptionist. "Umm yes Declan gave me his number last night and I was just wondering if I could talk to him?" Ants voice was shaking and confused. He didn't even leave him his personal number maybe he didn't like me after all? "Sir he's in a meeting at the moment but leave your name and number and I will pass on the message" the man in the other man said so Ant did so and hang up the phone.

Meanwhile Dec was sat in his third meeting of the day and was starting to get bored. His mind wondered onto the waiter from last night his dark hazel eyes, the way his body moved so swiftly through the crowds of people. The more he thought about him the more Dec could feel himself getting hot under the collar. He was brought back to reality when the meeting finally ended and everyone started to move from their seats. Shaking hands with everyone as he left Dec made his way back to his office. "Ahh Sir I'm glad your back I've just had a young man on the phone" the man handed the piece of paper to Dec. "Said he was from last night" his receptionist smiled. "Something you want to tell me" he nudged playfully. "Nope nothing at all Matthew thank you" Dec laughed to himself. He was a very easy going boss considering his place in the business but that was just how Dec was. He turned and went into his office looking down at the paper. "He actually called!" Dec was so happy this man was gorgeous and he really wanted to see him again.

On the other side of London Ant was sat going though textbooks and assignments. He was at University trying to become a doctor but it was hard. He's taken a few years out to look after his mother and he was struggling to get back into Uni life. It had been a few hours since he had called Dec and was starting to wonder if he was ever going to phone him back. Suddenly his phone started ringing, it was Dec. As soon as he saw the number his palms started to get sweaty. "Keep it together Anthony your a grown man not a teenage girl" he said to himself out loud. He picked up the phone and answered. "Hello" he said quickly. "Hello Anthony, I'm glad you called I've been thinking of you all day" Dec smiled down the phone. ants heart was pounding in his chest just hearing his voice. "I'd like to see you.....tonight meet me outside my offices at 7 and don't be late" he hung up before Ant could even reply. "Man of many words" ant thought to himself fore going into panic mode. "What the hell am I going to wear?! I have to dress nice, bit I don't have anything nice!" Ant rushed around his flat looking for something at least half decent but had no luck. He was student after all.
