"So our profits are increasing."

"That's good news."

It had been two days since I'd seen Jakoby and Orion kissing. I hadn't really been able to sleep but I figured I couldn't just sit around sad about it. Jakoby was giving me my daily run down and having me sign off on all this paperwork in my office.
Our relationship was definitely different now. It was less personal and more business. This is how I should have kept it from the beginning.

"The reviews in the restaurant have been great. We even had great reviews in the hotel in Micki's division."

"Wow."

Jakoby was still talking but I hadn't looked up from the paper at him the whole time he had been in the office. I had to admit I was being a little cold.

"I was thinking maybe we could throw a banquet. We should be celebrating this turn around."
"Great do it."

"Really? Great! I have a budget here I wanted you to review over the banquet."

"No need. I trust you."
"I was thinking maybe you could help me plan it...like something we can do together."

I shook my head, "If you need help you can hire a party planner. Just throw it on my schedule though. I'll make sure I attend."

"What's happening?"

I raised an eyebrow finally putting down my reading glasses handing him the papers he had me sign and looking up at him, "What do you mean?"

It was just what I was trying to avoid. Looking at him was amazing. Jakoby was so handsome to me. He had that worried look in his eyes. I hated him for hitting puberty and getting so sexy but maintaining that personality of his.

"We are getting...I don't know...distant."

"Why do you think that is?" I asked, "Any reason you could think of?"

I looked in his face trying to see if he would admit to it. I wondered if he would admit the fact that he was gay or the fact that he was in the restaurant swapping spit with Orion Ferris. I wondered if Jakoby would admit any of that. Maybe then we could be over it.

Instead Jakoby just shook his head.

"No, nothing's different. Maybe it's just my imagination," he said.

I was disappointed in him and I let out a little sigh.

I guess it was his business though. He didn't have to tell me a damn thing.

There was noise in the corridor. It sounded like a woman screaming. I couldn't tell exactly what it was but Jakoby turned and seemed to know immediately.

"What is that?" I asked him.

He turned, "Looks like one mad Boss. Did you want me to tell her we were busy having a conversation."

"No...send her in. We are done here."

"I guess..."

He looked disappointed and he had a snappy tone in his voice. He did as I said though collecting his papers and walking outside of my office. I was so fucking disappointed. The night that I found out about him and Orion I couldn't even sleep. A part of me hated Orion. I was jealous. I had to admit it. I wanted to be the one kissing Jakoby.

Jakoby was gay and he wouldn't even tell me. I couldn't figure this out for the life of me.

Micki Boss walked in the room as Jakoby left.

At first I didn't even look up at her and when I was did I was a little shocked to see that her skin was this purple color. She had bags under her eyes. She wasn't looking too good at all.
