The Bully I Thought I Lost... (Boyxboy) Book 2

Chapter Seven

"Boreas makes a return..." he sang but quickly stopped to see Misha on the floor.
"You gave him the code but not me?" Misha pointed.
"He has a high ranked badge..." I shrugged and smiled up towards Bora. "Boreas?" I asked. His face went blank as he scratched the back of his head.
"Yeah. That's my name... Bora is just short for Boreas."
"What do you need?"
"I was going to ask if you wanted to have lunch with the team but I guess you've got it situated."
"Yeah. You've gotta warm me before hand. I'll be up on that offer another time."
"Alright." He walked back to the door. "Also, Mozes wants to see how you did before your lunch is over. Be sure to make it over there soon."
"Thank you." I relied as he walked out.
"You like him." Misha sighed.

"What!" I replied, placing my sandwich down. "First off, I do not, and second, he's too happy for me."
"So you want somebody less happy all of the time?"
"I mean, putting it simply, kinda?"
"So you like your manager." He concluded.
"Okay, what?" I laughed. "That's a silly accusation. I don't know if you've faced him dead on, but he's like a rock, dude."
"I think you like one of the two and you're hiding it from me. Anyways. Meet any other gay people?"
"A guy named Garett. I met him today and he's a very strong kid."
"Like... 'I lift weights' strong?"
"No." I looked at the lettuce on my sandwich. "But he's been through a lot. He doesn't want petty. He asked for my number but I think he just wants a good friend."
"Yeah?" Misha replied. He stood up and threw his sandwich wrapper in the garbage. "I'll leave you be."

He left my office and I was left all alone. I quickly gobbled up my sandwich before I left my office to enter Mozes'. An assistant opened the door for me and I entered.
"You needed to see the notes?" I placed a notebook on his desk.
"Oh yes." He flipped through the 3 pages I finished and looked up at me.
"Are there this many holes in the code?" Mozes looked on his computer and squinted his eyes. "Thank you. Do you mind if these pages are torn out?"
"No." I replied as he tore them out.
"Thank you for your great work. I'll send Boreas to remind you of your break time."
"Alright." I left his office and shuffled into mine.

"Boredom." I whispered. "What do I do until 12:45..."
I paced around my office and stopped at my white board. I picked up a marker and began to draw random things to cure my awful case of boredom.
I looked at my watch multiple times and finally watched it hit 12:45. Now I have to work.
I sat in my chair and opened up the home version again. I went through more bugs for 2 more hours straight with another break in between.
Once it hit 2pm, Mozes entered my office.

"Jaymes." He spoke. "Follow me. Shut down for the day."
"What exactly am I shutting down?"
"Shut off the devices, plug them up, turn out the lights and turn the fan on."
"The...fan?"
"Second switch on this wall right here." He leaned against the wall and watched me 'shut down'. I walked to the switches and stared at all of them.
"Okay." Mozes let out a sigh. "This first one is your lights. Flip this one off. The next one is air conditioning. It's a big building so we turn it off to conserve energy. Also, I noticed you haven't touched that gate." He walked over to it and pushed up a bar. He removed the gate and all of a sudden, there was a balcony.
"Eh." I ran to the door and looked at the view.
"The only balcony on this floor was given to you."
"On purpose?"
"Nope. It was a fluke. That's been blocked off forever."

"Anyways, this last switch is your fan. The switches in these offices are programmed to do what they're supposed to do when you flip them one way."
"Aren't... all switches that way?"
"I'm trying to say... that if they're all down, the shut down setting are on. If they're flipped up, the work settings are on. Get it?"
"I think, yeah."
"Alright. Lets go."
"Are we coming back?"
"Yes."
I grabbed my badge and ran out the door with Mozes.
