I wasn't sure about continuing this in case i ruined it but here it is anyway :)

The property of Brendan Brady

Chapter two

"Douglas it's always a pleasure, take a seat"

He entered the office looking his usual nervous self, trouble with Douglas is that he had no back bone; I would class him as being very average, boring, nowhere near good enough for Steven. I didn't want to be sat having a cosy chat with him, I didn't even wanna play games, I just wanted to rip his head off. I wanted to bring him down a peg or two, show him who was and will always be boss, now he'd gotten too big for his boots, but I had to think about Steven. I always thought of him and how he came into my life, he turned it upside down, he made me question myself and what I'd always believed to be true, he made me fall in love with him, and he keeps me falling in love with him time and time again, damn that beautiful boy.

"What is all this about Brendan? I need to get back to the deli"

I wondered how long it would take him to speak.

"Yeah I bet ye do Douglas"

And before he could even say anything back to me I had him pinned up against the wall. He looked scared, I'm glad he did, he should be.

"You see Douglas; I never knew you were into kissing boys, especially my boy"

"Brendan i…"

I put my finger over his mouth, I didn't want him to talk, I didn't want to hear his lies his excuses, I know what I saw, I can still see it, but I won't be seeing it again, it stops now.

"Listen to me very carefully Douglas. You will go back to Steven and make up an excuse, a lie, about you needing to go away for a few weeks. Tell him a family member is sick, tell him you need a break, I don't care just do it."

"And if I don't Brendan?"

"Well you should know the answer to that question Douglas. You really don't wanna get on the wrong side of me anymore than you have. If you stay here and continue on taking Steven away from me I swear to ye on my life, ye will pay. We belong together, and nothing and I mean nothing is going to keep us apart, and certainly not you. Do ye understand?"

Douglas didn't respond to me, he just looked devastated like I'd ripped his heart from his chest.

"I said do ye understand?"

"YES BRENDAN" he shouted.

What they had was more than just a kiss, he liked Steven, he really liked Steven, and there could be something special between them. I didn't need to ask him if this was the case, I could see it in his eyes. Looking at Douglas was like looking at me, we were both in love with him. But I always win, I will not lose Steven to him, I would rather die.

"Time for you to get going Douglas, do the right thing and leave my boy alone"

"You don't deserve him Brendan; I could just tell him, tell him that you are blackmailing me. Why can't you just leave him alone, let him move on. I could make him so happy"

"Making him happy is my job Douglas, no one else's. If you breathe a word of this to him I will make your life a living hell. You don't want to keep pushing me. Now get out before I do something that I'll regret.

Douglas left my office but he still had to mouth me off, he needs to be careful, if he doesn't I will destroy him, I have nothing to lose, by the looks of it I have already lost the one thing that means anything to me. I don't think Douglas is stupid enough to tell him the truth, he knows what kind of man I am, and we've had dealings before so he knows exactly what I'm capable of. With him gone and out of the way it gives me a chance to win Steven back and I won't stop until I do. I will go in that deli and prove myself every single day if I have to.

I've been patient, I've waited for him to come to his senses on his own but Douglas got in the way, someone always gets in the way. So now I have to take matters into my own hands and make him come back to me. I've done it once before with Noah, I can do it again. He loves me, he'll always love me, and he just needs a push to be reminded of it. I don't care how long it takes me to win him back, just as long as I do. I couldn't help torment Douglas further with a text.

"So have ye left yet Dougie boy?"

I heard nothing back. He really is playing with fire messing with me. It made me anxious Douglas not texting me back. I started pacing my office, staring at my phone, willing it to beep, hoping that a reply would soon come. An hour had passed and still nothing. I couldn't wait any longer I had to find out what was going on. I needed to go and find Douglas; I started to walk to his flat, I could see him standing outside with Steven. He had a case by his side, I was glad to see that he was doing as he was told. I didn't get too close just close enough so I could see what was going on. A taxi pulled up and Douglas got in, they had hugged each other, I was glad that was all it was. Mission one accomplished now for mission two, taking back my property.

please review :) xxxxx
