You are straight, you made that clear

Carlson Coleman's POV

Working with Enzo is the best thing that has ever happened to me, I get to be close to him, I get to eat with him but I wish for it to be more and I don't like the fact that his desk is in a different room from mine so I've asked it to moved into my office, a little corner has been created for him. When he comes to work on Monday, he going to be shock and angry for sure but I can deal with him.

"Just marry him already, I don't understand why you are doing things like this, tell him how you feel." Jeremy said.

"Shut up, I don't even know why you are here."

He shrug his shoulders and sat quietly. After everything was set, I smiled, now I get to see his face everyday without anything blocking me. I'm going to make sure you fall head over heels for me Enzo, I'm going to make sure you understand that you are mine and mine alone.

...............

Monday finally came, I sat in my office my eyes on the o'clock, Enzo is already five minutes late. After waiting for five more minutes I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in," I faced my laptop acting like I was very busy with business.

"Good morning boss, I'm sorry for coming late, there's traffic because of the rain." He explained but I didn't lift my head from my laptop.

"I just passed by my office and it's locked, what's going on?" He finally asked the question have been waiting for.

"You are no longer going to be working in that office, you've been tardy this past week and today is the beginning of your second week since you started working here and you are late again so I decided to move your desk into my office." I finally lifted my head and that's when I noticed he was soaking wet.

"Enzo!" I stood up from my seat way to fast it tipped over and fell. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to my bathroom. "What were you thinking walking under the rain?" I asked.

"The traffic was bad so I had to walk and I forgot my umbrella." He explained.

I shook my head and took a towel and started drying his hair. I made sure he was dry. He tried to take the towel from me but I refused.

"I can do it my...."

"I know you can just shut up and let me do it." I helped him out of his shirt, "Turn around," he did slowly, we were so close I could hear how fast his heart was pounding.

I reached for his belt, he grabbed my hands, we locked eyes in the mirror. "I can...."

"Shhhhhh Enzo," I kissed his neck I can't control myself, he looks so sexy.

He turned around quickly and tried to push me off but I lifted him up and placed him on the bathroom slab.

"Carlson what are you doing?" He asked.

"What do you think I'm doing? I'm helping you out of your wet clothes, do you want to fall sick?" He shook his head.

I grabbed his hands on my chest and lifted them above his head, "I told you things are going to change," my lips were inches away from his, he glanced at my lip and then my eyes and back to my lips. I was this close to kissing him but my phone rang just before I could claim those luscious lips.

I picked the call and walked out of the bathroom, "Jeremy if it isn't a matter of life and dead I swear to God I'll kill you."

"I was just checking to see if Enzo likes his new working space." Did he just interrupt me because of something I can tell him in person?

"Jeremy I have better things to do, we'll chat later." I disconnected the call.

I went back into the bathroom, Enzo was still sitting on the bathroom slab, he must still be in shock by what I almost did. I took a pair of suit pant and shirt and handed it to him, "This should fit you perfectly, change and come out." I left him alone so he could change without worrying.

I ordered two cups of coffee one black and one with cream, by the time he came out from the bathroom fully dressed, the coffee was already on his desk, without complaining he sat down and began his job.

I decided not to stress him out today, I let him focus on his job although I could feel his eyes on me from time to time.

"You are expected to sign this document, it's from the finance team." He placed the document in front of me.

"Where am I supposed to sign?" I asked with my pen in hand.

Enzo lowered himself, I could practically feel is breath fanning my face, I was tempted to kiss his cheeks. "Do you understand?" He suddenly asked.

"Huh?"

"Focus Mr Coleman, I still have a lot to take care of on my desk." He scolded.

I cleared my throat and sat up, "I'm listening, what is it?" I returned my attention on the file in front of me.

"I said you are supposed to sign here, and also here, it's that simple." I could hear the subtle smirk in his voice.

"Okay." I did as he said and handed the file to him.

"Also you shouldn't forget you have a meeting to attend at two,"

"I won't forget Enzo." I flashed him a smile. He returned to his desk and that was the last thing Enzo said to me. He was so focused on his work that I got jealous, I want him to be focused on me and not his job, I brought him here for me and not for his job.

"Enzo....."

"It's time, the conference room is all set for the meeting," Enzo said interrupting me.

I nodded and stood up, we both left for the meeting, luckily the meeting is to take place in my company, it'll save me stress of moving from one place to another.

Enzo took his position, he pulled out his iPad to start taking down minutes. Mr Brown the man I am supposed to have the meeting with stood up and shook my hand. His PA also took his position.

The meeting began. Mr Brown was trying to convince me to buy stocks from him. He had my attention but then it slipped when I noticed the looks his PA was giving Enzo, I tried to ignore to be professional and I did I was able to control myself for while.

"Enzo," I called out to him, "Come sit next to me, I have to make sure you are taking down the minutes correctly."

"But I am," he mumbled.

I turned to him with a raised brow, he knew better than to disobey me. He murmured something I couldn't hear before coming to sit next to me.

After the meeting was over, Mr Brown called me for a private discussion, we moved away from our PAs. But although we were far away from them I could still see them, Mr Brown's PA was sitting so close to Enzo, I don't know what they were talking about but I saw Enzo giggling, he has never giggled with me before, with me he is always angry.

"Can we talk about this later? I have something else to take care of." I didn't wait for Mr Brown's response before dashing back into the conference room and pulling Enzo on his feet and dragged him all the way to the office.

He pulled his hand from my grip, "What is your problem?"

"What is my problem? My problem is the way you were flirting with that guy.”

"What I do have nothing to do with you Carlson, you are my boss yes but I'm allowed to hangout around other people and Peter was just being nice."

"Nice? You even know his name, why are you so cheap?..." It happened so fast I didn't see it coming all I felt was the stink on my cheeks and the tears in Enzo's eyes.

"You have no right to talk to me like that Carlson, no fucking right!"

I didn't know what to do or say at that moment so I did the only thing I thought was best, I pulled him into a kiss. He thrashed, he threw feather like punches at me but I didn't stop no, instead, I held him tightly and deepened the kiss.

Enzo melted in my arms, he stopped fighting and just let me do what I wanted, but the tears that fell from his eyes after he went still broke my heart into pieces so I stopped.

"What do you want from Carlson? What do you really want from me? Is making my life a living hell you life goal? If yes then you've succeeded.

"You are not supposed to hangout with anyone else Enzo," that's not how I wanted it to come out but I had to make sure he knows that he belongs to me.

"Why? Because you said so? Carlson you don't even like me, you don't like men, you are straight and you made that clear during our high school and college days when you made my life miserable, you made me hate myself for being gay." The pain in his voice didn't go unnoticed by me, this is not how I expected my day to go.

"Things are different now Enzo," I tried to explain.

"How so? Because you said so? I'm not your play thing Carlson, you don't just kiss me because you feel like it, I am human and I have feelings. I have been ignoring everything you've been doing to me for the past one week but today marks it.”

"Just let me explain...."

"I'm going home, I think I'm done for the day." He took his stuff and left, he didn't give me the chance to explain.
