M&J

Men will be boys

On his drive to the office, Michael kept checking his phone. He was hoping James would text him. He knew there was a chance he wouldn't. James seemed like the shy type, & they usually don't make the first move. Michael should have asked for his number. He thought about hitting up Starbucks again tomorrow, to see if James was working. He realized how clingly that was. He had never even talked to James, & he's acting like their soul mates. Michael got to the office, but stayed in his car. He had to clear his head before the meeting. He had too much riding on this deal, & he couldn't risk fucking it up! He took a few deep breaths, then got out of the car & headed inside. The entire meeting, Michael could only think about James. He knew he wanted to see him again, but when?!

James kept playing with the card in his pocket. All he could think about was his dream. He couldn't believe Michael gave him his number. He doesn't even know me. Why would he want me? He could have anyone. What made me so special?! I'm so bland & boring. James knew he needed to text Michael & find out what he wanted. James thought this could be some sick twisted joke. But no one knew about his dream,... James couldn't wait to go home, so he could text Michael. Something was up, but what!

Michael just wanted this day to end. The meeting hadn't gone as well as he hoped. It was getting to the point where he was ready to scrap his idea. It was becoming a huge pain in his ass, and he was getting fed up. Michael wished James was here, so he could rant & ask him for advice. Shy people usually give good advice because they see things differently. Michael hoped James might have a good business​ idea too! Once the meeting was over, Michael thought about going back to Starbucks, but knew he couldn't. He just wanted to go home & relax.

James knew he needed a game plan for texting Michael. He knew he couldn't just come out & ask him why he gave him his number. He didn't want to come off as cocky or rude, but he still was dying to know. He knew he had to ask in person, not over text. He needed to show Michael he could handle honesty. James knew Michael wasn't shy, so their was a good chance that he'd tell the truth. But where did James want to meet Michael. He knew he loved Starbucks, but couldn't risk it getting heated at his workplace. He decided to meet him at a bar by his house. That way if anything happened, James could just run home. James kept repeating what he was going to text Michael. He knew he had to be clever. Michael seemed the type that doesn't respond well to boring texts,...

Michael took the long way home, checking his phone every few minutes. There still was no text from James. Michael was ready to give up. Maybe it's just not meant to be. Michael finally got home & changed into his sweatpants & a hoodie. He couldn't stand to be in his suit a moment longer. He sat on his couch a turned on the T.V. He wished he had someone to cuddle. He really was a caring guy, he just never had the chance to show it. The business world doesn't leave much room for softness. Michael decided to watch a movie instead. There wasn't much on T.V anymore. Just as he was about to hit play, he received a text. Michael guessed it was one of his business partners. They were always texting him about problems. He decided to check, in case it was important. He found his phone, and saw it was James. Michael couldn't help but get excited. He didn't think James was going to text him. Michael responded right away. James had asked him if they could meet at the DAPGO bar tomorrow night. Michael didn't take James for the bar type, but it would be the best environment. He said he'd meet him there at 8! Michael couldn't wait for tomorrow. It was going to be interesting!

When James walk through the door, he went straight to his room. All he could think about was what he was going to say to Michael. He decided to just be honest. He asked Michael to meet him at the DAPGO bar tomorrow night. Michael agreed. James was nervous, but excited for tomorrow. He spent all night trying to figure out what to wear. He wanted to be cool, but make it look like he wasn't trying too hard. James had never felt this way. Thinking about Michael gave James butterflies. He felt there were sides to Micheal he wanted to see. James decided he needed to go shopping tomorrow. He needed to update his wardrobe a bit.

Michael stared at the celing. He just wanted to be at the bar with James. He decided to take the day off. He just wanted some time to himself. He needed to work on a new idea for his business, before it's too late. Michael texted James to see if he was awake. He really just wanted someone to talk to. He was tired of always being alone. James texted him back. Michael asked if James was busy. He couldn't wait till tonight to see him. Michael just wanted to spend the day with him. To get to know him better. James had just woken up, and was about to play video games. Michael asked if he could come play. He told James he'd had a rough day yesterday, & needed a way to take out his frustration. James said he was home alone, so Michael could come over anytime. Michael quickly got ready, & headed to James place.

James had just opened his eyes, when he received a good morning text from Michael. James still didn't have a good feeling about him. He felt like he was in a never ending dream. He still couldn't believe that they were meeting later tonight. James kept playing the worst senarios over in his head. He wanted to make sure that he was ready for whatever​ was coming his way. He knew there was a big chance of things ending badly. He knew deep down, he was hoping he was wrong. Just then, Michael sent him a text asking if he could come over. James decided it would be a better atmosphere to ask the questions that were eating away at him. He knew it would be easier if things got heated. He told Michael he could come at anytime. Micheal said he was already on his way.

Michael quickly hopped in the shower, then threw on sweats and a hoodie. He knew James didn't care about fashion, so why dress up. Michael found out James only lives a few mintues away, so he decided to grab some Starbucks. Michael bought James a caramel macchiato, secretly hoping he could keep it for himself. Michael wondered what games James had. He hasn't played video games since he was a teen. He had to give them up once he started school. He was actually excited to game again. It's how he used to take out his frustration. All the way to James' house, all he could think about was video games. When James opened the door, he was shirtless. Micheal hadn't realized how built James was. He has such a nice body. Michael couldn't help staring. James invited Michael inside, which made Michael jump. He forgot that James was standing there. Michael handed James one of the drinks. James knew it was a caramel macchiato.
