CHAPTER *47* I missed Ross. Terribly. It had been two months since the break-up and I felt even worse than after it had just happened. I couldn't stop thinking about him; what he was doing now and with whom. According to Sofia, he'd buried himself in work, which was what I was doing as well, these days. I arrived at the production offices of the new SciFi TV-show "Star Crossed" in Vancouver about a month ago and they'd been piling the work on me ever since. And I didn't mind; it kept my

CHAPTER *48* Events are now told from Ross's point of view and pick up a few weeks after the break-up. "Where is he, Gloria. Tell me. Now." "Now you be a good boy and say ‘please', honey," Gloria replied, a corner of her mouth turning upwards. "Please?" I sighed, impatiently raking a hand through my hair. "Just tell me where he is. I need to talk to him." "Why do you wanna know? To yank him a second asshole?" I had a few ideas for that area but yanking wasn't what I had in mind.

CHAPTER *50* He looked thinner. His cheeks were a little hollowed than I remembered. But his eyes were exactly the same; one green, one blue and, at this very moment, staring wide back into mine. Whatever the other people in the room thought about the scene playing out in front of them, I didn't care. I also had no idea how much time had passed when the sound finally returned to my ears, and some uncomfortable coughing began to emerge at various points around the conference table. I sho

CHAPTER *49* "So...you're finally going up there to bring him home?" Mother asked me after I informed her of the trip up to Vancouver. "And in no small part thanks to you, Mother," I said, giving her a kiss on the cheek. "Yes, even if I have to drag him back, kicking and screaming. He's coming back here, one way or the other. He's not allowed to say no." I grinned confidently. "Good. You've been moping around here for weeks; good lord, a funeral would've looked like a rave compared to the mo

CHAPTER *42* I didn't see or hear anything from Kyle the following week, and maybe that was for the better; I didn't want to think about him. Ross was in full romantic mode, these days, even taking time off to be together, and we spent days in bed, going even as far as blowing off the, by now, mandatory dinner with Sofia. She wasn't pleased. Ross didn't care. At long last, though, I knew I did have to face Kyle at some point. I hadn't told Ross about it, knowing he'd blow up, not to men

CHAPTER *44* The next day I made sure I was at Warner Gaming before anyone else, waiting for Walter Warner himself. I tried calling him at his home but got no answer. He arrived early and didn't seem to be surprised to find me waiting for him, so early. "Mark, what can I do for you?" "We need to talk. It's about Kyle." He sighed and nodded to his office. I followed him inside and sat down on the chair upon his offer. I quickly told him what had happened, leaving nothing out and

CHAPTER *43* We're done. I've never heard words spoken so cold, so unfeeling. They still rang through the loft, long after Ross had left and, at first, it didn't sink in. I didn't realize what it meant. By the time I finally did, it was already too late; he was gone. Only now did I fully grasp what I'd done and there was little I could do. What; call him? He'd never talk to me, I knew that much. It had become fully dark by now and I was still sitting on the couch, feeling numb and

CHAPTER *45* "Why do you always pull this crap?" The words entered the loft before my mom was actually inside. "I swear, sometimes I wish you had a little less of your father's genes. He was a putz and guess what; people's exhibit A." She jabbed a finger into my chest. "Why don't you come in?" I answered sarcastically. "So you heard, huh?" "Yeah," she said, smacking on the chewing gum. "Queen Sofia filled me in." Uh-oh. So Sofia knew. That wasn't really a surprise but a sudden dread

CHAPTER *46* "You going to tear into me as well? Whack me over the head some more? Because if you are, I'm buying a helmet. I saw a great one on sale just the other d..." "Quiet." How the hell did she do that? Make it sound all royal and such? I wanted to say something but when she raised a perfectly curved eyebrow, I swallowed whatever I wanted to say. "That's better. Now what is this nonsense about moving to Canada?" "You heard that, huh?" "I heard some drivel to that effect, yes.

CHAPTER *36* "Come again? I didn't hear that correctly, did I?" Ross asked, setting a hand on the wall behind me, close to my head. "Please don't be mad, it was just coffee, okay? We talked and I invited him..." I said, taking his tie in my fingers, playing with it. "Why would I be mad, huh? My current boyfriend is drinking coffee with my ex. An ex who, I might add, can't be trusted with anything that walks on two legs, especially the ones that are spoken for. Nah, that's just perfectly

CHAPTER *37* I actually winced, when I saw the shiner Ross had given Kyle, the next day. His entire right eye-socket looked bruised but it didn't hurt, he said. Well, not much. That whole day I tried to gather enough courage to call Ross, to try and talk to him about all of this. I desperately wanted to talk to him, explain why, because he'd promised me, just a few weeks ago, that we could talk about anything. So why couldn't we talk about this? But when I finally did muster the guts to pi

CHAPTER *40* Sneaking around was hard work. Very bad on the conscience and guilt was at an all-time high. It took some doing and a lot of cooperation from several people to make it work. Doing all the work at home took some getting used to. Not having every tool available to me made the process very difficult, but Kyle had spoken to Jodie and Mason, swearing them to secrecy. They had to be told, or the whole thing would be blown wide open inside a week. So we established a strict protocol

CHAPTER *38* I looked down, frowning. I wasn't wearing anything special, just a pair of old jeans and a clean shirt. "Nothing special... jeans, shirt." "What kind of jeans? Color?" "Stonewashed jeans, the one with the hole near my ankle." "The tight one... Mmm..." "What are you doing?" I asked, a little uncomfortable, because the sound of that was very intimate. "Nothing...yet. What shirt?" "The flannel black and white blocked one," I replied, almost whispering. This w

CHAPTER *41* I could say that I threw a hissy fit myself and pushed him off of me immediately. I didn't. But I also didn't kiss him back. The touch of his tongue was very gentle, sweet even, as he tried to seduce me to open up for him. That was a no go. Pulling back, I gave him an apologetic smile. "Don't. You can't, I can't. You know that." He leaned forward and touched my forehead with his own, and drew a shaky breath. "Yes, I know. Obviously I wish things were a bit different. Te

CHAPTER *39* I was in the kitchen doing the dishes when Ross finally came home. I heard him come in, even over the clamoring of cutlery and dishes; I'm kind of a loud worker in that department, but him barking my name from the moment he entered the loft did help a little. "Kitchen!" I yelled, grabbing a towel to dry my hands. I grinned when I heard his steps behind me, and when two arms snuck around my middle, I never felt happier in my life. Ross pushed his nose into my neck, and inh

I hope to finish it soon, perhaps tomorrow. Not promising anything, just an intention.

No, she's not, lol!

CHAPTER *26* Ross was a lying bastard, uch! He had assured me it would just be a few people, twenty at the most, twenty of the closest colleagues I had been working with. But when the elevator arrived at the foyer of the FG building, and the doors opened (and me carefully plastering a surprised look on my face), I didn't have to fake a second of it; the whole company was downstairs, waiting for me. The second they yelled ‘surprise', I almost jumped a foot in the air, sheez. In the grand foyer

CHAPTER *28* Sofia was a lot calmer, thanks to mom who had taken her home from the party, shortly after Ross and I had gone upstairs. Knowing mom, she'd also given her a shot (or several, because...well, it was mom) of something strong, so by the time we arrived at the house, which was around 9pm, I feared that Sofia would either be all liquored up by now or sleeping it off. Surprisingly enough, she was in her salon, waiting for us. Mom was still there but she got up as soon as we came

CHAPTER *29* "Okay... so what do I do? Pretend I don't know who he is?" I asked later that night. I was lying in bed, waiting for Ross to join me. He was undressing, putting away his clothes, and I followed his every move. It was fun watching him go through his routine, partly because he was kinda anal about it. I just dumped mine on the foot-end of the bed, where I'd find them in the morning. I also had refreshed myself by taking a short shower while he'd been going through his mail and

CHAPTER *27* I closed my eyes as soon as he dropped that little bomb on me. "Oh my god," I whispered. I was actually going to work for the two people on this planet that Ross would probably hate more than anything, not to mention Sofia, whose reaction was pretty understandable now. I looked up at Ross, and saw the muscles in his jaw nervously working as his eyes sought mine. I sighed deeply and then did the only thing I could think of; I hit his arm as hard as I could. It wasn't meant t

CHAPTER *30* That Monday I woke up early. It was still dark and I listened to Ross's regular breathing close beside me. His warm breath occasionally touched my cheek and I snuggled a little closer to his warm, sleeping form. As always, on the slightest movement I made, he stirred and mumbled in his sleep, but he slept on. Or so I thought. I liked this time, right before the day started. I never used to wake up so early but Ross was an early riser and I somehow adapted. Sometimes we'd make l

CHAPTER *32* I came home around six that evening with one whopper of a headache. After my conversation with Kyle, I had tried to put the things he had told me out of my mind but somehow I couldn't. The rest of my first day I had spent with Mason and Jodie, and I hadn't seen or spoken to Kyle again, for which I was very glad. The board had been set for the way we would be treating each other on this job and so far I had lost. I definitely needed more information about him, preferably bef

CHAPTER *33* In all fairness, I wasn't grossed out or disappointed with Ross. It was the way I had found out that bothered me more. Had he told me in the privacy of our own bedroom, I'd have been okay with it. Hearing it from a complete stranger, who also had a bone to pick with him, wasn't the way to find out about such things. But it didn't really matter; unfortunately for Kyle, I now had one more reason to have a bone to pick with him. His revelations only had cemented the foundation of th

CHAPTER *31* I stepped past Walt into the office with more than a little trepidation, not really knowing what to expect. I wasn't nervous, really. I guess I was curious was a better word. I'd heard so much about him, and all of it bad; I was curious to see if it was all true. Behind me, the door closed softly. The office itself was nicely decorated; not too modern or opulent and the desk was placed so that the occupant behind it was sitting with his back to the tall windows behind him. The
