(Bxb) Eric Valence thought finding a job as an editor for a well-known author named Draven H. Malcolm was the beginning of his writing career. He had no idea that it would also be the beginning of his love story. *** "You're so clueless, it bothers me." He frowned, "What does that mean-" "You never wondered why I gave you all the best things on my floor - the closest desk, drinks from my office, my newest project. I even went to your house and picked you up to make sure you weren't late." "My portfoli-" "There are twenty three others with the same experience as yours, that was an excuse," he admitted, peering into Eric's eyes and daring him to look away. Eric didn't. Draven sighed, "The reason I got mad that day..." he paused for a moment, hesitating again but deciding to let it all out, "the reason I got mad is because I heard you kissed Jason, which I wasn't too pleased about but then seeing you and Justin together..." He never finished his sentence, and Eric raised an eyebrow, "What about Justin and I?" "I feel like you're doing this on purpose," Draven chuckled, examining Eric's confused face. "I'm not sure what you're talking about-" "I like you," Draven said clearly with his entire diaphragm, expression it as loud as he could for Eric to understand. Eric felt his throat squeeze itself shut, no oxygen coming in or out. "I like you, a lot more than I thought, Eric," he breathed. Eric was unable to believe it, shook his head and looked away for moment, before meeting his gaze again. "Why me?" he asked quietly. Draven shrugged his shoulders, eyeing Eric with adoration and admiration, "I'm not sure either, but I want you to be mine."

Eric showed the badge to everyone, bragging about it as he continued friendly conversations with them.Jason wrapped an arm around his shoulders, "He did that trick to all of us; I said I wanted to quit after reading it because I thought he was a fraud."Eric laughed, "I was seconds from not telling him, but I didn't want to lie.""I almost failed since he scared the brakes outta me," a woman said, Rebecca, as she reached for her drink. She was seated on the other side of Jason, "He made me cry.""He made Miranda cry," Jason chuckled, "but she's not any good. Of course we're all jealous that you got that spot faster than all of us, but she sucks.""Then why does he keep her?" Eric asked."It's his step-sister's niece, but he seriously
During the time there, Draven exited his office a few times, but did not glance even once at Eric, who examined the colouring, the design and the storyline of Draven's characters in Cold Shoulder.Frankly enough, he was unsure whether he was supposed to be honest to him, since what he read was complete garbage. The characters made not a single sense, as if they were running around as chickens with their heads cut off. There were extreme grammar errors that a bunch of sentences needed to be re-written. He even had difficulty reading those paragraphs, since multiple lines were run-on sentences, awkwardly written, or simply did not make at all any sense whatsoever.He certainly needed a drink, maybe coffee, hence why he deposed his pen and headed towards the elevator. No editors had yet greeted him, and they did not seem to favour him, a few glancing with narrowed eyes in his direction.He descended to the main floor, and was seconds from marching to the cafeteria when Justin walked by,
Eric's eyes fluttered open the next morning, and Melissa was frantically pacing across the room, grabbing all his clothes and throwing them at him, similar to the last time.He raised an eyebrow, "What are you doing? I got fired, I don't need to be there—""I knew you wouldn't remember anything from last night," she breathed in panic, searching through his bedroom for a pair of socks, throwing one at him. He caught it, bewildered completely and she hissed, "Put your clothes on."Afterwards, he brushed his teeth while she fixed his hair, "You'll understand later." He obeyed her, and when he exited the room, he had not been expecting seeing the tall built inside his home.Draven H. Malcom was sipping on his coffee, reaching for the cabinets and examining all its entities, before a grimace pulled his features and he turned away. He was well-dressed, a suit over his shoulders with a tight black polo and a gold chain around his neck. His black hair was slicked backwards, and his eyes seeme
"Eric, you're making a scene," Melissa growled, slapping the top of his head as he groaned, sniffing.He raised his head from the table, the red on his cheekbones much more visible as he raised his hand, the waitress bringing him another shot.Melissa frowned at him, "Why do you keep taking shots if you're just going to cry even harder?"His eyes were a bold red, as he made a face before meeting Melissa's gaze, and bursting into tears again.He breathed through his throat clogged, "He fired me without even asking me about my day, who I was or anything. I was made fun of throughout the entire time I was there.""In his defence, and as I mentioned two seconds ago for the fiftieth time, you got there late and without any shoes?""He could even hear my explanation though?" he raised an eyebrow.Melissa shrugged her shoulders, "I wouldn't either."He hated when Melissa was right, but she usually was. Melissa oftentimes got on his nerves. She was his closest friend that remained with him af
Such peacefulness, his body distorted as he snored even louder than a train. Drool was falling from the corner of his mouth, but what he was dreaming was worth any drool ok his favourite superman pillow, the one he kept ever since he was eleven.He was eating his favourite food, a triple patties bacon burger filled with mustard, spicy sauce and a bit of barbecue sauce, extra onions and he sometimes even placed his golden crispy fries between the patties, with fresh melted cheese.His teeth were savagely devouring the entire burger, the taste exploding across his mouth and all his hormones began racing, as he continued to chew and chew. More he wanted, as he enveloped another huge part with his teeth, and swallowed before it was even chewed properly.He could not get enough.However, he frowned when the burger began speaking; it was screaming his...name?"Eric!""Eric!"His brows furrowed even more, and with widened gaze, it seemed the burger was now attempting to eat him. In his sleep
