Temptation

Chapter 2

After work Craig took his 20 minute drive back home. He came in, set his keys down on the table by the door, hung his coat up on the coat rack and walked into the bedroom like he did any other day. This was also part of his routine that he went through everyday. He got changed into his pajamas and everyday as soon as he was done he would hear his husband come in. Rayan always came into the house 5 minutes after Craig did.

His husband walked into the back room and said his usual "Hey baby" and gave him a kiss on the forehead after. Then he walked back into the living room put his stuff down and got undressed himself. He put on his pajama pants and went shirtless and walked around the house. "Babe what's for dinner tonight?" He called screaming from the living room. "There's still left overs from yesterday, you can have that!" Rayan went to the refrigerator and dug out the food, putting it on a plate and heating it in a microwave. "You want any food, Craig?" He responded with a no and just chilled out in the bedroom.

He was sitting on his bed and was watching television. He saw on the clock it was 8:30 and he started getting ready for bed. He went to the bathroom and brushed his teeth for the second time that day, washed his face, and brushed his 2 inch hair. All that took him about 30 minutes so by the time the clock hit 9 he was in bed and going to sleep.

The next day came around and Craig did his daily routine again. He woke up, took a shower, got dressed and was out the door at his usual time. He drove to work, got his coffee and was upstairs in his office, usual time. Today was the day the new worker was coming in. Craig walked in with his usual dreadful, funeral attire and walked into his boss's office. "So the new worker that's coming into today will be here in about 10 minutes. His name is Chresanto and I guess you can figure out what to call him whenever. I want you to get to know this guy. You guys are going to be spending a lot of time together." She smiled at him and Craig shook his head yes. They talked over a couple of things and then Craig left the office. When he left the office, Chresanto came in.

Time slowed down for him at that moment when he came through the door. He was average height, short curly hair, yellow skin, white teeth and a nice smile. He came in dressed in a suit with a smile on his face. Craig was staring hard until Andrew came and interrupted. "Mmm the things I would do to that man if I could. I would eat him up like it was the last supper." Craig got out of space and turned to Andrew as he watched him lick his lips. After that he went up to Chresanto and shook his hand.

"Hi, my name is Craig, welcome to our company. I'll be working with you here. Our jobs will mostly be sales and production. Making sure our numbers stay up." Craig gave him a slight smile and his throat went dry as he realized that he was still holding onto Chresanto's hand. He let go quickly and laughed nervously.

Chresanto gave him a smile. "This job has gotten better already." He looked Craig up and down and laughed. Craig smiled again and led him to his office so that they could sit down and discuss business things. "What brought you here?" Craig wondered why such a handsome looking man wanted to do something so simple and a little tedious. "It's been running in my family forever. I have to continue this legacy and plus I don't mind it. Things seem to be pretty fun here." Chresanto smiled after saying his response.

As they continued talking they got sidetracked and just started talking about there lives and such. "I grew up here and I moved into the area about 2 months ago. Ever since I've gotten here I run every morning near the park, the one on about 3rd avenue." Craig smiled. "I live around that area."  Now it was Chresanto's turn to smile. "Oh really? You should come run with me sometime if you can."

Craig chuckled. "I couldn't run to save my life but thank you for the offer though." Chresanto shrugged his shoulders. "I'll slow down for you then."

"Here's another question though. You single?" Chresanto had asked Craig. Craig shook his head no. "I've been married for about 14 years now." Chresanto was shocked. "You're only in your 30's though. How could you have been married so long already?" Craig chuckled and answered, "I've been married since I was 18. I married my high school sweetheart. We've grown up together, been to the same schools since we were toddlers and have been best friends since forever and being with the fact that we knew everything about each other we slowly started falling in love. We started going out and then we got married. We've been together ever since." Craig smiled brightly as he reminisced about his history with Ray.

The two talked forever that day and they clicked pretty much instantly. They talked until the office closed and talked a little more after that.

After that Craig came home, arriving after his husband Rayan. He relaxed a little in the house as usual after talking to his husband. "You're home." Ray smiled and kissed his husband on the forehead. Craig smiled at him and got undressed. He then brushed his teeth, brushed his hair and got into bed with a smile on his face. This was the first time something had made him so happy, but that something was actually a someone and that someone was Chresanto.

Rayan wondered why he got home so late this time because Craig was never the type of person to come home at such a late time so he wondered what had happened today.

This would be one of the many future times that Craig would be coming home late.
