Once he came down from his car, the first sight that caught his eye was that of the beautiful boy playing fetch with Billy in the garden. Elijah's heart stopped at the boy he saw, the sound of his laughter filled Elijah's ears making his eyes wet.
"Why, Billy?" He whispered to himself. He knew what he went through trying to cover up his forbidden act and love for Jack, both from his family and the press constantly poking their noses in his affairs and here he was, back again four years ago.
He hasn't seen the boy's face but his heart was about if not almost tumbling out from inside his body.
Elijah made his way over to the duo and when Billy saw him, the happy dog dumped his toy and ran into his embrace. Elijah laughed and tackled the big dog to the ground.
Adrian met his Boss's eyes for the first time and his heart flew out the gates. He thought his crushing had crashed the day he saw those pictures but he was wrong, in fact, he has never been more wrong in his entire life. His eyes lingered on the man as he took bold, strong strides towards him, Adrian was certain he stopped breathing, his eyes fixed on the man, heart thundering in his chest. Twenty-four years, twenty-four fucking years and not once did he find himself in such a compromised situation not even his first few months on T-shots when his sex drives were over the moon, he didn't feel the way he felt now. His entire body was affected by the man. His thoughts, his body, his heart.
How can this happen in just a wink of an eye? The boy wondered worriedly.
This is bad, this is really, really bad. Adrian chanted in his mind.
"Hello, Adrian." The most soothing voice he's ever heard called and Adrian almost nearly jumped out of his skin. He tried to even his breathing and to stop his eyes from wandering, the man stood like a god, the pictures didn't do him any justice at all. With bulging eyes, Adrian stared at Elijah, he couldn't speak for the life of him.
Standing close to the boy now Elijah knew he was in deep trouble. How is this happening to him again? Elijah forced air into his stomach.
"Hello, I want to believe you're not deaf." The man deadpanned.
Adrian blinked in shock, he wanted to respond but he couldn't find his voice. He tried again and this time his mouth moved. "He-he-hello sir, I-I am so sorry." He whispered. Elijah stared at the boy for a good amount of time before he ignored him completely to go play with Billy. The dog has been waiting patiently on his master's legs.
Adrian stood there like a statue. This was hands down the most embarrassing day of his life. Hopefully, his stupid behavior doesn't get him fired. His hand shook as he watched Master and dog roll about on the soft grass. This actually made him smile, but he soon smothered the expression when Elijah met his eyes once again.
What Adrian did not know was the fact that he was affecting Elijah as much as Elijah affected him, only Elijah knows how to conceal his feelings and instead of showing what his body and throbbing heart felt his face showed no expressions whatsoever and Adrian was starting to wonder if the man hated him.
"This is my Billy, you better do your job well and I hope you have read through his lists?" The man asked.
"N-no," Adrian replied his eyes met the green grass and he admired them.
Elijah frowned, "You should do that right now, Billy has appointments that need not be missed!"
"I'm sorry." Adrian seems to have come down from whatever high he had been on. The man looked very angry and that was no good sign on the first day of work.
