Justin stood there his mind telling him to push Drake away but his body didn't comply with his thoughts. As their lips collided,he felt an electric current rush through his body as he knees went weak.
Drake's grip on him was tight but very gentle as he controlled the kiss.
With all his might, Justin pulled back as he looked at Drake confused and embarrassed at what had just happened. "What the hell do you think you're doing?" He said as his fingers were trembling against the desk.
Drake smirked as he looked at Justin in amusement his face revealing something even darker " I was just claiming what belongs to me. I told you not to go to that drawer and you did. Now your mine". He said in a whisper.
" Stop! I'm not and will not be yours. Not even in your dreams." Justin scoffs.
Drake leaned again towards Justin as their lips almost touched." Are you sure what you just said was from your heart? I've noticed you baby"?"
Justin's chest rose as they stood there in a silence which carried everything unsaid. Justin's thoughts began wrestling with his feelings. *I'm not supposed to fall for Drake. He is my boss and very arrogant and overbearing, I don't want to be played again.* He thought.
As if to say reading his mind Drake interrupted his thoughts. "You can fight all you want Justin but we know your heart harbors feelings for this sweet man before you". He stepped back causing Justin to release a breath he never knew he was holding.
Justin turned and ran away before he did something he didn't want to do such as kissing Drake back.
Days Turn into Nights and from that day, things had never been the same between them
Drake began calling Justin in his section of the office for the ridiculous purposes.
"Justin, my coffee tastes different today," Drake would say with a smirk.
"Why does my coffee taste different today baby" he says with a smirk plastered on his face.
"There's no difference. Its the same brand I make for you everyday" just will say rolling his eyes
"Did you just roll your eyes your eyes at me? Come here and taste it for yourself " Drake would say
Justin obediently goes to take the coffee only for their fingers to brush on each others which was deliberately caused by Drake to tease Justin..
Justin had caught Drake on several occasions staring at him from across the office which sent heat pooling down his stomach. The intensity of Drake's eyes in him was driving him insane.
They even stayed and worked overtime. Justin had thought it was a mère coïncidence but found out Drake was doing this on purpose. The late nights were always so special to both of them
On one occasion, as Justin was working on some files, he felt Drake lean on him from behind whispering in his ear, " you work too hard"
" Yes I do take my job serious unlike someone " he said turning to face Drake.
Drake chuckled and brushed a strand of hair from Justin's face " and that's one of the many things I like about you".
"Stop doing what your doing Drake " Justin said swallowing hard.
" Oh interesting, so what am I doing?" Drake responded his fingers trailing down Justin's cheek.
" You're confusing me" Justin folded his arms.
Everytime Drake touched Justin and whispered while talking to him, felt like he was in a world hw couldn't give a name to.
"We'll be attending this event together over the weekend ," Drake said to Justin, handing him a folder.
Justin frowned as he opened it "what's this, a retreat?" He said looking at Drake.
Drake nodded. "I need my assistant with me. Surely you don’t have other plans?"
" Yes a business retreat and I'll be needing you with me. I'm sure you don't have any other plans for the weekend do you?" Drake said moving to his seat.
Justin know that Drake just wanted them to have some time alone and used this as a pretext.
He wanted to spend time Justin away from public judgement, praying eyes and away from the office and any work related issues.
Justin obediently agreed to this surprise invitation.
Held at a very beautiful and exclusive lakeside resort, Drake went for a very massive suite which looked too luxurious for just a business trip.
"How come there's only one bed" Justin said as he dropped his bag.
"You're so observant as usual" Drake smirked .
" Gosh!! I'll be sleeping on the couch" Justin headed for the couch.
" Ok then suit yourself" Drake replied chuckling.
They spent the night laughing, discussing about everything and anything as Drake was no longer the cold domineering Boss he knew at the office. They both enjoyed their conversation with stolen glances here and there.
Justin hated how much he liked this side of him.
Just just hated the fact that he was loving this side of him so much
After retiring to their room and Justin turning and tossing on the small and uncomfortable couch for hours, he heard Drake say. " Just come and sleep"
After hesitating, Justin's exhaustion hit the best of him and he climbed into the king sized bed keeping a good distance from Drake.
After sometime had passed, he heard Drake shifting closer to him, as he felt his warmth through the bedsheets.
Drake pulled Justin close to him wrapping his arms around his waist and whispered in his ear " don't fight back. Just let go and let's sleep. You just not fight over everything".
He adjusted Justin on his chest and Justin didn't retaliate but just traveled to dreamland letting himself melt in Drake's warm and safe embrace.
Their relationship had evolved and deepened as days turned into weeks and into months. However it was a secret which only Justin's best friend knew about. Drake made Justin feel loved in a way no one has ever done from their fights, to the stolen glances, and even the intimate moments behind closed doors. Justin craved all of this more than ever
Just when Justin thought his life has turned around for the better and real, everything came crashing before his own eyes
He had forgotten his phone at work one evening when Drake told him to go home and rest for he had worked too much. He realized when he was already home and after freshing up, wanted to write Drake. He then headed out to get his phone and surprise Drake with dinner.
However on reaching the conversation he heard made his blood stop flowing
"Drake, you have to stop that nonsense relationship of your right now!!! " He heard a female voice say from Drake's office just as he was about to open causing him to halt.
"Victoria please just stop, things are more complicated than you think." Drake responded in a tensed tone.
*What!! Victoria???* Justin thought as his breath hitched.
" Does your so-called boy or girlfriend even know your engaged to me?" Victoria laughed " I'm sure he'll be very interyes to get this news" she continued.
Justin felt his head spinning and the world tilting under his feet .
*What did I just hear? Engaged? Drake? How is that possible?" Drake stood there holding the door knob his hands trembly against it.
His heart began slamming against his ribs as he stumbled back still holding the food in his hand tears began rolling down his cheek.
" So all the touches, words, kisses, intimate moments they were all lies? " He questioned himself.
"Was Drake leading me on all this while?" He questioned further.
Before he couldn't get another word he turned to run when the food he had brought fell off getting the attention of the two inside the office.
Before Drake could come outside, Justin had ran out in tears not knowing which direction his was heading to.
Justin ran down the street not caring about how he looked or if people stared at him as he staggered, his view blurry from too much crying and the tears which hung in his eyes. His throat equally was very hurtful from crying. His skin was grazed by the chilled air. His world has crumbled "again". He took a bend and found a quiet and dimly lit corner in the alleyway. His legs gave up and he gradually and weakly sat on the ground. He buried his face in-between his knees sobbing silently as he didn't care about the food he had bought which now lay somewhere in the hallway before Drake's office. " Does your so-called boy or girlfriend even know your engaged to me?" Victoria's question kept ringing in his head louder then any other thing. " Drake, Drake, he's engaged! Engaged to a woman!" He said to himself sobbing. Thinking of the fact that his heart still yearned for Drake despite the betrayal made things worse and made him cry more. He still couldn't believe the whole scenario. He
It wasn't Justin but the old lady who leaves two doors away from his. She squinted her eyes at him and said " hey son what are you doing here. He is not around. He didn't come back home last night".His heart sunk. Where could Justin be? He thought Curled up in arm chair wearing an oversized hoodie he borrowed from Desmond, Justin looked pale as he sat quietly. He phone buzzed more than twice and he decided to check it though reluctantly.Another message.They were messages form the one who left him in this state. DRAKE.* I had planned when to tell you. Just hear me out* The message read.Just when he was finishing to read that message, another one entered and read I LOVE YOU.He closed his eyes for some seconds after reading the message. Filled with mix feelings. One which made him feel like throwing the one across the room and the other which brought back the good memories he had made with Drake." I'm so pathetic" he said in a low but audible voice.“I feel pathetic,” Justin said
Justin felt his heart fall into his stomach as the door opened. His eyes focused as to see who was there but it was no one he should be worried about." Pheeewww" Justin let out a very heavy breathe he was holding as he saw Desmond enter the house with what looked like a packaging his hands.Desmond had stepped out just for not up to 5 minutes but it felt like infinity for Justin.There was a package I ordered for at the gate. I went to pick them up. Desmond said walking towards him.Justin didn’t say a word. He stood frozen in place, the phone dangling at his side, his eyes unfocused like he was somewhere far away.Justin didn't say anything but just sat down on the nearest chair close to him as his legs were very weak already.Desmond’s eyes narrowed. "Everything alright?"What's the matter J? Did the caller finally speak up? What did he or she say? He said as he placed the stuffs in the table.Justin said there looking at him blankly without any emotion." I ... I actually don't kn
Justin had just alighted from the bus as he takes a look at the bustling city with skyscrapers and luxury cars all around him.He had just a little Duffel bag as he didn't want to carry along many things which will remind him of his past. He walked down the street to the little apartment Desmond his best friend had rented for him. His brain kept going back to the trauma and damage he faced from the terrific break up he witnessed causing his relocation.He vowed to himself never to be kept as a secret lover or let any man break his heart. As he walked further he stumbled upon a newspaper which stated the CEO of the White Companies is in need of a Personal Assistant and interviews were going on everyday from 8am till noon." I just got home and settled down. I am having some coffee now." Justin said to Desmond who was at the other end of the phone." Thank you for the clothes and groceries you got for me I'm really grateful." He said almost tearung up and he placed his cup of coffee on
"Urgggghh" Justin stretched his body rolling on the bed." Shit!!! another day to wake up and sit doing nothing" he said as he got down front he bed and headed to the bath to do his morning duties.He decided to make some breakfast at home and eat since he wasn't going anywhere and Desmond had stocked the house with everything he liked." Everything is so annoying I guess I would just have a cup of coffee". He was so restless and worried. He head to the sitting room and switches the television on and while flipping the channels stumbles on a channel showing Drake talking about a new AI application his company had just invented.Justin began gritting his teeth as his face began turning red as he watched the news. He quickly flipped the channel as he remembered what happened the previous day.Justin regained his senses and looked back at Drake who paid him no mind he sat behind his desk finishing up the work he was doing. Justin stormed out of the office walking very fast and breathing
Justin woke up from bed to serious knocking on his door. He groaned as he didn't want to wake up. He checked the time and it was still 5. " Who the hell is it at this early hour" he said as he turned back to sleep The knocking didn't get any better as it persisted "Urgggghh who is it?" he said going down from his bed like he was going for war.He brutally swung the door open ready to yell at whoever it is but his mouth hung open as he found Desmond his best friend standing right infront of him holding backs of takeouts and groceries accompanied with two cups of hot tea.“Good morning J.” Desmond smirked and let out a low laugh. “who are coming to kill, you look so cute” he said walking past Justin into the house."What's brings you here so early?" Justin asked following behind him." Can't I check in my best friend anymore?" Desmond said holding his heart feigning hurt." I did say that but do you realize it's still 5 in the morning?" Justin said rubbing his face and settling on the
