Three months later

"Arthur, that's the last of our stuff. "

"Thank god, that that's over with."

They had bought the place a week ago. It was three bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, and living/dining room, closet, and bathroom. It was located only half a mile from the cafe, and the building had a little park surrounding it. Both alfred and arthur had missed a lot of work while moving in. They had found out that Arthur actually owned more stuff than Alfred had, being that Arthur had an enormous amount of history books. He told Alfred that he wanted to be a historian on English history particularly wanted to major in Shakespeare's era. Alfred had told him that he wanted to be an astronaut for NASA. After talking, they had settled down on the couch in front of the Fireplace.

"what are you going to do about the both of us missing work?" Arthur asked while shifting more towards Alfred.

"I'll cover us. Don't worry babe." Alfred wrapped his arms around his lover and sighed contently. Just then the phone rang. Alfred picked it up and looked at the caller Id.

"speak of the devil," alfred mumbled.

Arthur shot up in his seat, not affected by the rush of cold air from being separated from Alfred. Alfred talked into the phone a few times and his face turned grim. Arthur could hear his father yelling at Alfred through the phone. Alfred suddenly hung up and slammed the phone down on the table with enough force to almost punch a hole through the wood. Arthur felt his face turn pale, and put a hand on Alfred's leg. Alfred looked at him with a look of fierce anger and bubbling hatred.

"Alfred, what's going on?"

"my father found out about us not being at work, but still getting payed. Now he's coming over to check us out, and since I got a new apartment, he's going to suspect that I'm gay because you live here too."

"Wait, he doesn't know that you are gay?"

"I never told him because he wants me to have a wife and a son so the family name can live on."

"why don't you just tell him that you are gay, and that your happy like this."

"Mattie is already gay, and my dad could barley handle it. He yelled at him for I don't want him to yell at me or you," alfred said while entangling his hand with Arthur's.

"Love, I don't care if he yells at me. I am more worried about what he might do to you."

Alfred had a sad grin on his face. " Don't worry, he can't do much since I an the only one who is able to take over the cafe after he dies."

"oh, so... When is he going to be here?"

Alfred jaw locked, "In 30 minutes."
