Denial (boyxboy)

Chapter 7

Sky's P.O.V.

Oh God, oh God, oh Godddddddddddd! He touched me and oh God! I'm pretty sure that I stopped breathing. The way he held onto me made me want to just lean right into him and put my face right in his neck. At 5'10" I would fit perfectly and then finally be able to get a good sniff of his unique smell. Stop! I have to keep telling myself to stop but he touched me and now I seem to have lost all sense of reality. Then ofcourse, the fear of being obvious hits me full force when Jacob pretty much lets me know that he KNOWS. He knows how I feel about Jeffrey. I trully hope that I can trust him but now is not the time to worry about it as the client has just entered the building.

The rest of the day was one hugh blur. I may have stopped sometime around 3pm, long enough to have a yogurt but there was just too much going on with this meeting and the pain in my leg was actually getting worse. Everytime I attempted to sit down someone needed me for something and it was irritating the situation.

Being around Jeffrey and at times so closely was not just upsetting for me but it seems to be upsetting him as well. Finally, the client, and a very impressed and happy one, might I add, left around 8pm. Now it was time to clean up. God I am so tired and I really want to just lay down. Maybe I can just sit for just a moment. No I better not cause honestly I am drained in everyway and if I stop now God only knows what might happen.

As I work on getting everything back to normal I really don't pay attention to the time and I guess it flew by because the next thing I know, "Hey what in the world are you still doing here?", Jeffrey asks. "I'm just clearing everything." I answer. "I am taking you home." He pretty much states with no room for argument. "It is almost 11pm.", he says.

I cringed when he said that because he would see were I lived and quite frankly, a rodent would not want to live in my space. What other option did I have. Okay I am pretty sure I could get through this. So resigned to my fate, we head out of the building into his waiting limo. Ellis, another constant presence in his life, was waiting with the door open. He says to Ellis, "We are taking Sky to his place." I look over at Ellis who gives me a one eyebrow pointed stare awaiting my address. I give him the address and get in the limo behind Jeffrey. Well, here goes nothing.

As we quickly approach my place, Jeffrey looks around with a very upset look across his face. He turns to me, "You live here?" he asks as Ellis comes to a stop. Even Ellis has a look of surprise on his face. I nod in affirmation due to the insecurity that I now find taking over my vocal chords.

I get out of the limo and Jeffrey is right behind me. "What are you doing?" and he says with a smirk on his face, "Seeing you to your door!" So now utter shock is clearly visible on my face. We approach the building and go inside. My room is on the top floor which is ten stories up so we climb the steps together and as we pass each floor, I grow numb in an attempt to prepare myself for the worst.

We finally reach my door and I turn around with the intent of thanking him but again there's that look on his face that says, yeah I'd like to see you try and not let me in. I turn around and hold my breath and as I'm ready to unlock my door it slowly swings open and to my everlasting shame he was going to witness the rewards of my weakness.
