"Did you see the news?"

"What happened?" He opens the door to the coffee shop.

"Okay, so don't freak out, but Jack might've been caught kissing a girl."

"Why would I freak out?"

"Because you two agreed to see how you played out- did you seriously forget?"

"I was never involved with Mr. Avery. He's my boss. It would be wrong to do so."

"Are you seriously cutting him off like that?"

"I'm not cutting anyone off. He cut himself off."

He quickly orders for him.

"Don't do that dude...i think you two look adorable together."

"Well I don't. It's my life not yours."

"Okay, you're being dick, I'm hanging up."

Zach rolls his eyes and puts his phone back in his pocket.

He grabs his latte and makes his way to work, while aggressively sipping his coffee.

The brunet was about to get in the building when he felt a hand pulling him back.

He looks back with a death stare.

"Hey...did you see the news?"

Zach breaks out of Jack's hold and makes his way to his floor.

The curly head sighed and went to his floor.

He looked at his computer.

Without hesitating one bit, Jack deleted the most important documents he had and called tech support.

" Tech support, how can we help?"

"I accidentally deleted all the important files on my computer...what do I do?"

"We're extra busy today. But I'll try to send someone."

"I don't want someone. I want Zach. Send Zach."

"He's busy."

"Send Zach or you're fired. And I'm not playing this time." He hangs up.

A few minutes later Zach silently gets in the office and sits down on his chair.

"What?" He crosses his arms.

"It isn't what it seems like."

"I'm here to find the documents, not chit chat." Jack gives him the computer.

"I didn't kiss her, she kissed me-"

"I don't care about your stupid lies. You can admit you two kissed and that you kissed back, or not...I saw enough from the videos to make up my mind."

"I know I fucked up. I know and I regret it. I promise you that I was thinking about you the whole time."

"You could even be thinking about the fucking queen of England. You wanted to see how we worked out yet you were the one that kissed another girl. Not me, you."

"I know. I'm sorry. Please forgive me and give me another chance."

"You want me to give you another chance?"

"Yes, please...I'm sorry...I'm just so confused."

"Confused about what? What's so confusing about you wanting to be with me but you fucked up and kissed a girl- you never kissed a boy did you?"

Jack shakes his head.

Zach sighs.

"Do you like kissing me?"

Jack nods.

"Do you like kissing girls the same way you like kissing me?"

"No...in fact I never really liked kissing girls."

Zach quickly recovers the files and opens google.

He turns the computer to him.

"What's this?"

"How I figured myself out, do the quiz. Think about the questions."

Zach crosses his arms and waits for Jack to do the quiz.

"You don't need to label it. But it can help."

Jack silently reads what the website said.

He turns it to Zach.

You are gay! was written in big bold letters.

"Now that that's out of the way... why did you kiss her bitch?"

"I don't know. I just don't want to loose what we're cooking up here."

"You took me for granted. And I should slap the shit out of you for that."

"You're right."

"Great." Zach gets up and slaps him.

"You said you wanted to give us a try. Don't fuck it up. Don't kiss other bitches or I'll cut you and her. Got it?"

"Yes, was the slap really necessary?"

Zach sends him a glare.

"Don't piss me off. I'm going easy on you. I swear to God Jack, if you fuck up again I won't give you another chance."

"You forgive me?"

"But I'm not forgetting...my memory never failed me Jack."

"Thank you thank you thank you."

"If the videos weren't taken, would you still tell me about it?"

"I-I don't know...I had no idea what to tell you... I don't want loose what we're building in here... and I know I messed up, and I'll try my best to make it up to you. I promise."

"I'm not hard to please. I don't need million dollar necklaces, stupid parties or some stupid shit like that. I want loyalty and honesty, things that are free and I believe that aren't too much to ask."

"I promise you."

"One more thing."  He gets close to him.

"I don't care how rich and powerful you are, I literally couldn't give two fucks about it...you don't threaten Dani. If you mess with Dani, you mess with me...and I don't like to be messed with." He mutters, pulling on his tie.

"Got it."

Zach suddenly let's go of his tie and starts fixing his suit.

"Glad you do sweetheart." Zach pecks him with a small smile.

"Can we kiss again?"

"Don't push your luck. I'm still mad." Zach pats his chest and pulls away.

"Did you recover the files?"

"I did. You should find a real reason for me to come here. People are starting to talk."

"So me deleting my files isn't a good enough reason?"

"Not really when you save all your files in your icloub, even though I told you to stop doing that shit."

"Touché...also, what are you doing today after work?"

"Is that seriously a question? I barely have a life. I'm just gonna eat ice cream and watch my documentary."

"Do you wanna...maybe come over and...choose a tie for me to wear tomorrow?"

"I thought you had a butler to do that for you."

"He kinda sucked at choosing ties and I haven't found a replacement."

"Sure, I'll go...but let me go home and change to something more comfortable."

"I'll pick you up at six?"

"Sure."
