Beneath His Grey Blue Eyes: His To Obey

Enzo Grey

It's been a year since I graduated from the University and I've spent those days relaxing but it's time to sit up and take my life seriously, my dad wants me to work in his best friend's company, I'll be working under his son. I don't know my dad's best friend talkless of knowing his son.

I'm sitting in the reception waiting for my new boss to call me in. My dad's best friend said his son needs a PA and my dad thought I'll be the best man for the job since it's what I learned in school.

"Enzo Grey?" A man called out, I raised my hand and stood up.

"This way please..." He led me through the big doors of the conference room. The man shut the door and left me alone with my boss to be, he was already in the room with his back facing me.

"Good morning sir, I'm Enzo Grey." I didn't know what else to say or what to do because my boss to be was still backing me.

"Enzo, it's been a year..." He finally turned, the way he said my name, the familiarity in his voice.

My heart skipped a bit when I finally saw his face, my palms became sweaty instantly. Why does it have to him? Why him? I turn around ready bolt out of the room.

"Take a step and you are going to regret it Enzo, you know me and you know what I can do." He said.

Of course I do, I know him so well. He is the reason why I detest high school and my college days, he is also the reason I wanted to change schools, he is also the reason I'll lock myself in my room and cry, hating myself for being who I am.

"It's only been a year but you look really different." He sounded so close.

"Carlson, this was a mistake, I'm sorry for coming here." I apologized immediately, the last time I saw him I was left crying in the bathroom with a bloody nose.

"Look at me Enzo." He ordered, I turned around slowly, he was inches away from me, my eyes were casted on the floor.

"Look me in the eyes Enzo."

I can't, Carlson hates me and I hate myself for finding him attractive, I hate myself for losing myself whenever I stare at his grey blue eyes.

He grabbed my chin and forced me to look him in the eyes, "I see you haven't forgotten me and what I'm capable of, it's a good thing. Working for me isn't going to be easy and you know the best part? You can't resign because your dad wants you here. Welcome to your new hell Enzo and this time, it's going to be different than it was in high school and in college."

He patted my cheek and walked out of the room. This can't be my life, I'm not going to let him walk all over me again, I am not going to let him bully me again. I'm sorry dad but I'm not going to take this job.

I booked a taxi back home. On the ride back home my mind decided to take me back to my high school days. The day Carlson had filmed my love confession and played it in class, he outed me in front of our entire class and everyone made fun of me and he made it his life mission to make sure I regret the fact that I was gay, he made sure I never had a relationship because whenever I see a guy who was interested in me, he would come in between and threaten him to stay away from me.

He was determined to make me stay single for the rest of my life and just when I thought I was free from him, faith had to bring me back to him. How cruel is life?

The moment I arrived home, I went straight to my dad's study. "I'm not taking the job, I'll work somewhere else." I told him.

"Why?" Dad asked, "Do you know how many strings I had to pull just so you could get that job?"

"Dad your friend's son is a piece of shit, he is a jerk and I can't work with someone like that." There's no way I'm going to work under him.

"I've known Carlson since he was young. He is nothing like that, he is a good guy, very respectful." Are we talking about the same person? Is Carlson a good guy? Maybe in another world, not this one.

"Carlson is a bully, he is a jerk..." I tried to explain but my dad just wouldn't listen.

"Stop complaining, is this the kind of thing your mom taught you? This is why I didn't want you to stay with that woman. You are making up stories, stop making excuses. You are no longer a child, learn to take your life seriously." Of course he had to bring mom up, my parents separated when I was ten and my mom has been taking care of me all by herself until she died from cancer when I was in my final year of college, dad took me in when she died.

"I already got a call from my friend and he said his son likes you and wants you to be his PA so you are going to be his PA and that's final." This is one of the reasons I want to move out of this house but I can't because right now I don't have enough to take care of myself.

I'll have to put up with Carlson and dad, when I've saved enough I'll leave and start my life, I'll get a new job and also move out of this house. I went to my room and fell on my bed face flat, I'll do everything, I'll work hard for Carlson when I've saved enough, I'll resign.
