Leo was having a work related chat at Met's office, the CEO was very thorough about everything concerning his company. Which was one of the things Leo admired most about him.

Considering all this, it was reasonable for Leo to get shocked when Met narrowed his eyes at him for a while, and said what he did.

"Wouldn't you like to take a break? Say, a vacation. For a month or so. On  the company of course," Met paused like he expected Leo to say something. "You must be wondering why I'd bring such a thing up, that's simple. It's because you deserve it."

"I don't know why you'd think that," Leo said, showing no outward reaction.

"You've been working more than ever and to be honest I'm a bit worried, you're starting to look a little tired," Met told him.

Met always cared for his own and this was a fact. And if he cared to this extent about his staff, then one had to wonder how much his men were exactly receiving.

"You have nothing to worry about. And thanks for the offer but I'm fine,"

"If you change your mind then."

"I don't think I will," Leo was sure as he said it.

At this, Met raised his hands in surrender. "Okay then," he said.

About five minutes after, Leo was back in his office, head hung low over his desk. In the next minute his phone pinged with a message.
Not bothering to check who had sent it, he read the brief text.

'i'm sorry'

His heart did a flip when he realized it was Brady, then deflated again when he reminded himself of what had happened.

He didn't bother to reply to the message and instead put his phone away.

Before he could properly concentrate on his craft, another ping.

'don't ignore me. say something. pleasse'

Then another, even before a minute had gone by.

'i want to make it up to you'

Leo couldn't help but think that was something he could work with, but either way, he put his phone on silent and tucked it into his pocket to focus on his work, Brady be damned.

Leo felt comfortable in his sweats and T-shirt after he'd showered and sat down to relax after work. He ordered for a pizza and perused through all the notifications he'd dismissed.
The amount of messages Brady had sent him was insane. If phones could breathe, his would be suffocating.

His doorbell rang, and he went to get the door. That was really fast. His pizza was here.

Leo unlocked the door, then pulled it open and put his hand out to take the box. But it wasn't a pizza delivery guy that was waiting for him on the other side, it was Brady. And he looked pissed off.

Leo pulled Brady by the hand and yanked him inside. "I'm starting to think you might really be addicted to me. What the hell are you doing here?!" he couldn't help but notice how Brady's orbs sparkled, they were beautiful.

"Oh you know, just grazing my animals," Brady sounded angry, like he had any right.

"Cut the crap Brady, you know what I said the last time. So let me ask you nicely. Get out."

"I can't do that," Brady said audaciously.

"Come here and kiss me then," Leo heard the words leaving his mouth.
