Chapter 4

RYLAN'S POV

I WAKE UP early, I looked at the clock hanging on the bedroom wall. It's four o'clock so it's still dark outside.

I woke up and went to the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth, it was my first day at work. I'm so excited that I rushed what I was doing.

A few moments later...

I'm already in the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Dylan. I cooked eggs, hotdogs and fried rice, because this is the only thing I could cook based on the contents of his refrigerator.

"It's done, I have to wake up Dylan," I whispered to myself. Look at the clock here in the kitchen. It's 5:30 am right now.

"Dylan!!! Wake up, it's late and you still need to take a shower!" I gently shook his shoulder.

"Rylan?" he called me while yawning.

I look around, in fairness, the interior of his room is beautiful and cozy, its design is also simple. It's just that, due to the mess it ruined everything. His clothes and belongings were scattered all over the place.

"I'll just clean it when he leaves," I whispered to myself while shaking my head.

When I saw that he was awake and stretching his body while sitting on the bed, I decided to go straight inside his walk in closet to prepare what he would wear. While I was looking for a suitable necktie for his polo shirt and coat, the hair on my neck suddenly rose when I felt that he was behind me.

When I turned, I see his figure with his back on me, I also noticed a towel hanging over his shoulder, and a fact that he is only wearing boxer shorts now, so his naked body is exposed to my eyes. A strange warmth surface on my face.

'What is happening to me? I do not understand.' I said nervously in my mind as I felt my heart beating fast. Because of the stupor, I almost jumped in shock when he suddenly faced me and grinned.

"Like what you see?" he said while naughtiness is evident in his face. He even raise his eyebrows to prop up his point.

My face quickly turned red due to the fact that he caught my eyes. Now, I'm worried because first of all I'm not gay. And I have never felt this way when it comes to my fellow men before. At that time, my friends and I were bathing together in the river even without a clothes. But, I have never felt like this before.

Before I lost my mind, I stopped thinking and just took a deep breath. Dylan went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.

Nothing will happen to me if I think about those things. Dylan might be late because of me that's why I better focused more on my work.

"Rylan, sit down," I heard him say while I was busy with what I was doing.

"Just wait, I'll make you some coffee."

"I don't want coffee anymore, I feel like I'm constantly getting nervous because I drink it so often."

"Alright, what do you want to drink now?" I just asked him.

"It's up to you," he replied curtly.

I, on the other hand, looked up while thinking of something I could prepare that he would like. 'Could it be juice? But powdered juices are not healthy and not good for the body.'

Since I couldn't think of anything, I just went to his refrigerator, maybe a miracle would happen and I would find an answer inside. And I wasn't wrong, I looked at the bottom of the fridge and saw a mango. Because of that I thought of something. I took it and went to the blender.

After a while I was happy to face my handsome, but annoying boss.

"Here, Dylan." I put the drink I made in front of him.

"What is that? Why is it yellow?" he asked in surprise.

"My pee" I answered sarcastically. He already knows the answers but still ask and that made me irritated.

He gave me a bad, but funny look with a hint of disgust. I just laughed because of his facial expression. He's a very big person, but I can't help but notice that he's also cute.

"What pee you're talking about? Just seat down and eat already, will you," he frowned, but in the end he also drank the mango shake I prepared.

"Does this have milk? It's delicious," he said in surprise as he pointed to the glass in his hand.

"Really? It's delicious?" I'm not sure about the taste because I haven't try it yet. It's a good thing the mango isn't rotten yet, otherwise Dylan will be even more angry.

"Here, taste it," he said, holding out the glass he was drinking from.

I accepted it and wow it was delicious, the one I tasted like a shake was made by my mother that she used to sell in front of our house. Is a shake made of artificial flavorings. But this shake I just made tastes better because fresh fruit is used.

"Dylan, be careful when driving."

We're here in the garage now and he's in the car. I was peeking through the window of his car.

"Of course, you too don't forget the rules, Rylan," he instructed seriously.

"Sure, I'll never forget leaving the house when it's on fire." I still smiled at him.

"Please don't tell me you'll burn this house down just so you can buy candy outside? Please don't think about it," he said while smirking.

I laughed because of his answer as I watched his car drive away.

"Ba-bye!!" I shouted while I was outside the gate.

I even saw a hand come out of the window of his car and wave back.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

TIRED, that word is not enough to describe how I feel right now. But, even so, there is still a smile on my lips that doesn't disappear even though I've been working all day.

It is not unknown to me that after this month I will get some salary to send to my family. I can't deny that I'm happy with my job now.

I finished cleaning the kitchen, so did his room. I have also started washing his pile of clothes. And I didn't forget to water the plants that he even bought me to take care of.

WHILE folding my laundry earlier, I noticed that it was late afternoon. I had lunch earlier, but I can't help but worry about Dylan. He must have eaten fast food again.

While I was stunned, the phone that was on the side of the stairs suddenly rang so I quickly approached it.

"Hello? This is Hendricks residence." That's what Dylan taught me when someone called on the phone.

"Rylan."

"Dylan? Is that you?" I even smiled when he spoke from the other line.

"Yes, how are you there, have you eaten yet?"

"Yes, I was earlier, how about you? Don't say that you ate fast food again?" I'm still worried about this.

"No, because I shared food with my secretary sinec they has a pack lunch."

Because of that, I was suddenly quiet. Only one image came to my mind when I realized what he said. Of course, typical secretaries are beautiful and sexy, right?

"Rylan? Are you still there?"

I heard him say it, but it seems that I lost my appetite and the eagerness I felt earlier quickly disappeared.

"Ah, yes I'm still here Dylan, but I have something else to do. Bye." I hung up the phone without waiting for his answer.

I don't know, it's like I felt an irritation that I can't explain. As I was returning to the sofa, I suddenly realized that I had done something wrong. I just hung up on my boss.

'That's too rude, I'll have to apologize when he comes later,' I nervously said to myself because of the stupidity I did.

'Goodness, what should I do now? I'm ashamed to face him later.'
