Chapter 4:
Liberty Diner
Brian POV
"Good morning!"
"Oh my, I think I am still dreaming, Brian Kinney is greeting us in public no less and before he had coffee" Emmett said and raised a hand to his forehead
"I have you know Honeycutt, I already had a dose of caffeine this morning!"
"Don't call me Honeycutt"
"Deb, can we get some service?"
"Be right there!"
"Brian where were you last night?" Brian sighed and pinched his nose, Michael was such a whiner
" I had to work!" The truth was Brian didn't feel like going out with the gang, he spent the night at home thinking about Justin, which made it impossible to go out as these thoughts resulted in several sessions of jerking off. He had cum harder than he had in years just thinking about him, and knew he just had to have him again. Although he would never admit it, sex with Justin was always so much more, better, hotter, longer, more intense…
"You always have to work these days, you hardly ever come with us!"
"Well, Mickey, In case you haven't heard I built my own company, and I have much more responsibilities now. I can't just stop and let others do the work!"
"But.."
"it is true Michael" Ted added "there are a lot of things a CEO has to do"
Brian had come to appreciate Ted, he was very professional and he did a great job with his finances. And he had learned to keep his mouth shut, Ted knew about Justin and his new job and while he might not have made the connection between the name and the person, he would not have said anything even if he knew. Ted never told anyone about what went on in the company except for public knowledge.
"But you have to have time for your best friend"
Jesus, Brian thought, Michael was never going to get it.
"I might be able to go on Saturday" although Brian wanted much rather to spend the day with Justin but then again, maybe Justin would be there he had always loved to dance and now that he was back… Brian smiled at the thought of being able to dance with Justin again, holding him close, grinding up against him.
"BRIAN!" Brian looked at Michael again who still wasn't satisfied with Brian's answer.
"When can you come to the store? So much has changed you should see it I redecorated and sorted through everything."
"That's great Mickey but I have to go now I have a meeting," With that Brian drowned the rest of his coffee and left the Diner.
"What's with him today?" Emmett asked looking at Ted
"How should I know? The man is a mystery!" He said and got up. He thought he had an idea about what was with Brian, he had filled out the form for the new employee, Justin Taylor, the name had been familiar and when he talked to Cynthia she told him that Brian was praising the new blond. That was when Ted new, Justin was back in Brian's life and it looked as if this time he was here to stay.
Tuesday Morning Kinnetik
Justin was standing in front of the old bath house once again marveling at the renovations. Brian had always had a sense of style and the mix of keeping the character of the building while maintaining a professional image was achieved brilliantly. He smiled to himself he hadn't been this happy in years. He was back on track he had a job that paid more than he could have hoped for while only working during the day and having time for his art on the weekends. Breathing in one more time he opened the door and got to work.
Brian was pacing in his office he just had gotten a call from a sportswear distributor that had lost influence over the American market and was hoping that he could change that since he had done so well for Brown athletics. He had told them to give him two weeks to come up with a campaign worthy of pitching and they would then see if they could hire him.
"Brian?"
"Yeah"
"Justin is here to see you!"
Justin, god he couldn't stop thinking about him maybe it was a bad idea to hire him after all if he couldn't concentrate on his work.
"Let him in"
The door opened slowly, funny, Justin used to waltz into the rooms as if he belonged there, no not rooms, his Loft. Somehow he had managed to weasel his way into his life and his home leaving a mark on it.
"Ah uhm, Mr Kinney?"
"Its Brian, Justin" he loved to say the name.
"Brian" God Brian loved to hear his name coming from Justin's lips.
"Tom send me with the revised boards we managed to change so far" he held out a hand with a stack of papers. "maybe you could tell me what you think and we could work from there and I have a few questions regarding some accounts, that is if you have time."
"I will make time, sit down"
"Cynthia! Hold all calls unless its important"
"So how was your first morning?"
"Productive, I have a lot to read up on, I still have some accounts open we focused on the more urgent ones today."
They spent an hour in Brian's office and went over all the accounts and Brian's wishes for them. As Brian had expected the revised boards were all perfect and he had no ideas for improvement. Justin surprised him when he asked about all remaining accounts, he had done his homework.
"I will get you the new boards on Friday"
"keep up the work and youll have to take a month of because we run out of accounts for you to work on. It has time, Wednesday morning will suffice!"
Justin was glad he knew that Brian liked his work and the way he did it. The hidden compliment didn't go unnoticed.
