Christian Turners' Upward Fall (BXB)

The World

At 12:30 I finally left Morning Treats. I had been there for a few hours, around 20 minutes of those few hours were spent talking to Samuel during his break. The rest was spent watching him work like a fucking creep.

I made the short drive over to the MHCFC (Mental Health Center For Children) where I work. I was there 5 minutes early which surprised me, I had a tendency to be late every time I had to work.

The music that played from my radio was torturing my ear drums and I ended up shutting my car off in a violent attempt to end the torture.

I headed into the building and strolled to the back of the building into the staff room. Alaric Tate, my coworker/boss, was lounging on the couch. His shirt rid up a few inches showing off his v-line. I scoffed. Alaric was openly gay and had a tendency to try and seduce anyone he could. I more often than not was a victim of his flirting.

When he spotted me he shot me a grin. "It's been a while hasn't it babe" he said, laughing as I made a grossed out face. Alaric was 27, so he was a lot older than me. Of course this didn't stop him from flirting with me, especially since I had turned 18 just a little while ago.

"You ready to work?" He asked seriously as he finally stood and pulled his shirt down. I shrugged and he laughed.

"Why don't you return my love babe" he told me pouting as he slung his arm across my shoulder. He leaned in and kissed my cheek swiftly before I could pull away.

Despite Alaric being a total flirt he was someone I considered a blessing in my life. I was lucky to know Alaric. When I was a sophomore I met him at a bar and he called me out for being underage. I talked to him about my whole "living alone" situation and he offered me this job. For the past 2 years he has been illegally paying me under the table because the job I had was designated for adults only.

Now that I'm 18 though my job is totally legal and I couldn't be more relieved. Ever since I turned 18 Alaric hasn't stopped offering to fuck me. He was vulgar but I owed him a lot, although not enough to let him fuck me that was for sure.

Alaric followed me to the front of the building where I situated myself behind the front desk where I worked. I logged onto the computer and decided to update appointments and listen to voicemails.

Alaric leaned against the front desk watching me work quietly. I sent him a wary glance as he stared. His face was serious, no sign of humor in his facade.

"I need to talk with you after work if you don't mind" he said seriously. I sat back in my chair and let the confusion overtake my features.

"Yeah okay" I said back. He nodded and pushed away from the desk and headed to his office.

Alaric Tate was a fairly important person in this building, he was a highly rated child psychiatrist and had majority of the patients that came into this building. Alaric was a very busy guy and had patients almost every hour of the day. Despite being a psychiatrist he was a rare find that offered counseling as well. But despite him being busy he was also one of the most well-liked employees in this whole building. He was on friendly terms with every employee.

The unique thing about this building was each floor had a "overseer" or "manager". The first floor, the floor I worked on, had Alaric as the manager. This also gave him the authority to recommend the termination of certain employees. So even though he was just a mere coworker I considered him sort of like my boss.

I sat for an hour listening to around 48 voicemails from patients trying to schedule or cancel appointments. There were about 6 specialists on the first floor so I usually got many voicemails by the time I got to work.
