Chapter 2
Meet Your New Partner

Evan got up the next morning and walked into the kitchen where Justin Gabriel, his last room-mate, was cooking breakfast. Justin was a phenomenal chef. He cooked for the other three boys and Ted every day and night. Evan pulled out a coffee cup and walked over to the counter. He looked at the two coffee makers.

"Justi, which one of these has-"

"The left one has hot chocolate, Evy." Justin smiled at the younger man. "Morning, love."

"Morning, good looking. So tell me, how was date three?"

Justin grinned then took a deep breath, "It was perfect. Bryan took me on walk through the park. We kissed for the first time under the stars. It was magical. I think I'm in love, Evy."
"I'm so happy for you, Justin." Evan smiled and poured him a cup of hot chocolate.

"I have another date with him tonight. We're going to have dinner on the rooftop. I'm cooking for him." Justin placed a plate in front of Evan.

"I can't wait to hear all about it." Evan took a bite and moaned, "God, this is heaven."

Justin smiled, "Thanks, Ev."

"You're welcome. Are the others still in bed?"

"Wade left earlier. One of his patients was in labor."

"Which one!"

"Vidalia, the yellow lab."

"Aw! I hope he gets to have one of the puppies." Evan smiled and cleaned his plate with a biscuit.

"That would be very nice. I hope he gets to have one too."

"Ok, so what about Cody and Teddy?"

"They're having morning sex. They'll eat afterwards then they have to go to work."

"How's their flower shop coming?"

"I think it's coming along well."

"And your restaurant?"

"My restaurant is going amazing. I got my first truck in yesterday and I open tomorrow."

"I'm proud of you, Justin."

"Thanks, baby. Now how is your job going?"

"It's going great. Mark and I are working on a new video game. I'm not sure when it's supposed to be finished."

"I'm sure it's going to be awesome, Evan."

"Yeah, I think so too." Evan smiled and picked up his plate.

"Uh-uh, I've got this." Justin took the plate from Evan. "You get to work, pretty."

"Ok, Just." Evan leaned over and kissed Justin's cheek, "I'll see you this afternoon."

"Love you, Ev."

"Love you, too." Evan smiled and walked into the living room. He pulled his jacket on and left for his job.

Twenty minutes later Evan arrived at the Video Game Testing Plant which was simply called Cena Games. Evan walked in and straight to his desk where he found something insanely shocking.

"Mark? What's going on bro?"

Mark Henry turned around and smiled, "I've been transferred out little dawg."

"No way! What the hell does Cena have against our amazing combination?"

"Cena has nothing against your combination, Mr. Bourne." A voice came from behind Evan. Evan closed his eyes and cursed himself. He slowly turned around and stared into the cruel, blue eyes of John Cena, his boss of three years.

"Morning, Mr. Cena."

"Good morning, Mr. Bourne. Did you have a good night last night?" Evan's jaw dropped. John smirked and motioned for Evan to go into his office. Evan sighed and walked to the office. He hated when John called him there. John walked in first followed right behind Evan. "Sit down, Mr. Bourne."

Evan sighed and sat down. John turned on a small TV in the room. Evan's eyes widened, "What the fuck?"

"Did you have fun with my husband last night, Evan?"

"I didn't know he was married. He made no indication that he was." Evan snapped. He didn't have to do this. If John was going to be pissed off at someone it should have been Randy.

"And you didn't ask."

"There was no ring!" Evan stood up, "How could I tell if the man was married if there wasn't a ring. Fire me if you're going to fire me because I'm seriously not going to sit here and let you scold and talk down to me. I am sick of having you walk all over me, Mr. Cena."

John shook his head, "I'm not going to fire you, Evan. Sit down."

"What? Then why did you call me in here?" By now Evan was ready to quit. His blood pressure was surely through the roof.

"So you could meet your new partner."

"New partner?" Evan was suddenly confused.

"Since Mark is leaving you are going to need a new partner."

"Then why were you asking about-"

"Because he told me about it. Randy thinks he needs to video all of his little flings so I'll divorce him. I've dealt with him since we were in the fourth grade. This is nothing new." John laughed softly. Evan only nodded slowly. He was too confused to say anything. There was a knock on the door. John stood up, "Come in."

A blonde, blue eyed man walked in with a huge grin on his face. He was tall. Evan figured he was about 6'6" give or take. Evan stood up when John walked around his desk. "Jack, I'm glad you were able to find the place."

Jack shook John's hand, "It wasn't that hard, sir."

Evan couldn't take his eyes off of Jack. Jack looked down at Evan and smiled. Evan's breath hitched. Jack was gorgeous. Evan crossed his fingers praying this was his new partner.
"Evan Bourne, meet Jack Swagger. He just moved here from Oklahoma." John motioned to Jack.

Jack held out his hand, "Nice to meet you, Evan."

"Likewise." Evan took Jack's hand and shook it firmly. From the moment they touched sparks flew up Evan's arm.

"I think we'll work great together, don't you?" Jack smiled. His blue eyes twinkled.

Evan couldn't stop the smile or stop smiling after Jack smiled, "I think we'll become the best of partners."

John clasped both on the shoulder, "Awesome, now why don't you two go get to work."

Evan and Jack both nodded. Evan opened the door for Jack, "I'll show you our workspace."

"Awesome." Jack followed Evan out.
