Business and Pleasure
Chapter One: Salmon
Brendan Brady found himself sitting in his familiar grey suite and tie. His jet black hair has been brushed as well as his signature moustache which was usually the first thing you notice when you first meet him. As he sat opposite Steven Hay, his next conquest.
"You want the salmon Steven? You can have the salmon" Brendan finally spoke, passing the well-dressed male waiter his menu.
He wanted Steven to have the steak though if he really wants the salmon then he can have it. It doesn't really matter to him personally though he thought the steak was better. Besides Steven would be the first man with a name in his string of one night stands.
"I think I will have the one" Steven replied, referring to the wine glass.
He tried to speak formerly for once. He felt out-of-place in this restaurant which had well-dressed and seemly polite people. Not like he cares about them as he looked at Brendan, taking a slip of his wine glass.
"You will need to stay sober" Brendan insisted, following suite as he too took a slip of his white wine, looking around and staring at everyone.
Ashley Kane has taught him a few things about studying with your eyes only. Not to mention the fact he knew Steven was getting slightly more interested as the night went on. Brendan was looking for a distraction to make Steven disappointed of his lack of conversation with him.
"Which one shell I seduce tonight?" Brendan asked him, purposefully trying to make him jealous.
He looked at Steven again who did look disappointed as he was just slipping his white wine. Not taking a break, he drank a quarter of it in that short amount of time he had. Clearly avoiding his gaze now.
"Gentlemen, one salmon and one stake" the waiter spoke, as he placed both dinners in front of each man, looking at Brendan's now empty wine glass.
"Another wine for you sir?" he asked Brendan. Who just nodded, he poured more wine into the wine glass. Brendan taking another slip of it. "Enjoy your meals" he spoke before heading of once again.
"You don't eat enough, Steven" Brendan told him, picking up a fork. Steven cocked his head to one side, as he took a bite of his cooked salmon which looked delicious and tasteful.
A good combination as he kept his eye on Brendan while eating. He hasn't really spoken to him much this evening. He doesn't want to show him even a hint of lust besides his long-term girlfriend Amy Barnes would be furious but she wasn't his mother.
"Steven; talk to me" Brendan spoke, he noticed the silence as he finally gave Steven some attention.
He thought he was dying to say something and he was. Though it wasn't 'Fuck me please'. Not yet anyway, he was nowhere near that stage. As he looked back up at his ex boyfriend who was to blame for fucking it up last time.
"What do you want?" Steven asked him, pretending not to show any interest.
Though if he had to choose between the easy and hard route, he would choose hard. Douglass Carter was never going to be serious competition. No matter how much Steven told himself.
"You" Brendan replied.
That was a risky method of seduction though he was confident enough to use it on Steven, after all he wasn't just a randomer and he could easily turn it back on Steven if it happens to go wrong.
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Steven asked him, getting some of his cockiness back, his charm if you will.
Brendan smiled slightly, this was the man he fell in love with and he knew that he wasn't going to change, no matter how much he tried and boy has he tried though he was only lying to himself.
"No, not at all" Brendan spoke, eating some more of his stake.
He wanted to seduce Steven tonight and he was going to make sure he does. He continued his method of seduction. As he moved his shoe under the table, as he placed it behind Steven's ankle.
"What are you doing?" Steven asked, as he moved his shoe away. Brendan moved his shoe back up, knowing he was making Steven slightly giddy.
"What?" Brendan asked, pretending he doesn't have a clue what he was going on.
Messing with him slightly, he hasn't changed. Not yet anyway. He does honestly hope that Steven takes him back though. Even if Amy and Cheryl don't agree with it, it's up to Steven after all.
"Brendan; why did you bring me here?" Steven asked him, as he almost finished his salmon. There were about a quarter of it.
"Isn't it obvious?" Brendan asked him out curiously.
