"Stop looking at me like that." I bit my bottom lip and crossed my arms over my chest. He popped an almond in his mouth glancing around our kitchen. I moved in closer to him and batted my eye lashes. He looked back down at me and sighed out putting a hand on my shoulder. He pulled me in hard and I wrapped around him tight closing my eyes. "Loges…it's a simple fix. I have to take medications and take it easier. I'm going to be fine."
"This is serious Kendall. You have a heart disease. If you don't take the pills, or work out to hard you could have a heart attack and die. You have less blood flow to your heart which means your body is going to try to fight harder to keep your heart pumping…"
"Logan…Logan…just stop. Your reacting worse than Carlos." I pushed away from him and frowned. He chuckled and brushed my left shoulder, probably to get dust or a wrinkle out of my suite jacket. If he thought I was over reacting now, he should wait to see me when he gets his medication and I ride him on being proactive about it.
I was physically upset when Kendall told me on Monday and even got worse when he got the call on Tuesday form his doctor telling him he had Angina. It wasn't serious because he is so young, but he was going to need to take pills and whenever he felt the chest pains and had trouble breathing during a workout or practice (because he got the okay to play still) he had to use this spray of nitroglycerin and had to sit down for at least 5 minutes. When he explained everything to Carlos and I, Carlos asked if that meant he was okay and I quickly went into explain everything. I was still scared. If something serious happened to Kendall and Carlos wasn't there or someone on the team, Kendall could go into Cardiac arrest. That thought wasn't okay in my mind. Kendall was my brother. I don't know what I would do without him. "Don't you know everything about this?" I nodded leaning into him and rested my head in the crook of his neck. "Okay so you should know that I'm going to be okay then. Even if something happens. I'll be okay Loges."
"Besides…" We pulled away slowly and watched James walk down the stairs his white button up shirt on with his phone in one hand and his jacket in the other. "I just heard form a little birdie the kings are thinking about calling you to make a deal." I turned to Kendal to see him smile and nod his head. "I know the Wild is your team but if you and Carlos want to come out here, it would be the better option."
"I'll probably be getting a call Monday from my manager. What do you think man…be a King?" I turned to James and watched as he slipped his coat on, trying not to touch his beautiful hair. He chuckled and brushed down his lapels.
"We'll they have a young team. But their fast and great hockey players. They won the Stanley cup last year. You could probably teach those boys a few things." Kendall laughed and I sighed crossing my arms over my chest. "Listen sad puppy eyes…we're going to a party tonight and you are going to have a good time. Even if it means I get you drunk."
"We'll you'd have a better chance of getting laid. Logan's loose when it comes to liquor." I gave him a dirty look before turning to James and pouting out my bottom lip.
"You gonna let him talk about me like that?" James smiled and pulled me in slipping one hand into the back pocket of my pants. I felt him move a little and heard a little grunt from Kendall followed by both of them laughing. I turned just in time to see James's fist get lowered and Kendall rub his arm. I smirked with satisfaction and hugged around James. "Is Carlos still getting ready? I don't' want to show up to late." I heard Kendall sigh and watched over James's shoulder as Kendall walked out of the kitchen. James's other hand gently rubbed up and down my back as he sighed over my head.
"So…this week went pretty fast and you got buys after each day so you never really got a chance to talk to me about your boss. I mean…how is he? He treating you nice?" I rolled my eyes and pushed away from him turning straight to the fridge. I pulled it open and grabbed a bottle of water. "I'm just curious about the man. I mean I'm going to be meeting him for the first time tonight. I don't want to go in blind."
"You know what you need to know about him?" I turned quick and shut the fridge door with my butt. "He's a sweet, good looking guy who wants me to succeed in his business."
"Why do you have to bring up that he's good looking?" I scrunched my eyebrows together and put my bottle to my lips. "Okay I'll just meet the guy. But he looks at your cute little butt once I'm throwing fists."
The car ride was full of talking and loud laughs. It felt amazing. For the first time I was the one taking my boyfriend and my best friends to a party. Usually I'm being dragged along to a-lists parties with rich fancy people who can only talk about their 4 sports cars. Now I'm dragging them to a smart person party. With a bunch of nerds who will talk about numbers and the economy. It will make me feel even better than I do now. I felt even more proud when James could park in my own special spot right next to Louis's spot in the basement garage. I told them about the building as we made our way up to the 18th floor ignoring the nerd remarks from Kendall and James. As soon as we got off the elevator music could be heard along with laughter and loud talking. I laced my hand with James and pulled him along the huge office trying to find the bar, Carlos and Kendall right behind us. When I spotted it I also spotted Louis talking with some of his employees and smiled reaching for a glass of champagne. I saw out of the corner of my eye James grabbing a beer from an ice cooler and looked up to him frowning. He pointed over my head and smiled. "Kenny can't drink cause of his old man heart. He's designated driver tonight." He clinked his beer glass onto my champagne glass and gently kissed my forehead. I heard from behind me Kendall say something about finding a bathroom and Carlos going with but ignored them. I put an arm around James's waist and let him turn us to look out at the party. "Where's your office? I wanna see the place." I smiled and nodded leading him towards my office which was closed and hopefully still locked. I pulled my keys out and unlocked it getting out of the way and letting James walk n first. I followed after and kept my door open flicking on the light. He whistled low and put his free hand in his pocket looking around. "Nice place babe. Guy must be loaded." I rolled my eyes and slowly walked to my desk pulling out my chair. "You have your own couch? Is it real leather?" I shrugged and watched him sit down putting his beer bottle on the coffee table. "I got to tell you baby…this is super nice. Should I be worried this guy is trying to butter you up to get in your pants?" I sighed and set my champagne on my desk standing up. While I walked past my door I closed it but kept it unlocked. I shut some of my blinds and walked to James pushing him back on the couch all the way. He had a cocky smirk I would really like to kiss of his face, but held it together. I climbed on his lap putting my legs outside his and sat down setting my hands on his chest, while his hands went on my thighs. "Hey perv…don't' you think we should be socializing."
"Only if you promise to hold your tongue about my boss." He laid his head back and laughed giving me the perfect opportunity to attach my lips to his neck. I started to suck on his neck bringing my teeth out and biting down on his skin. He groaned out and moved his hands to my ass squeezing softly. He managed to push my crotch down onto his making both of us pull away and groan. I moved my hand sup to his face and held it gently. "Please don't be a jerk tonight. This is where I work with the people I work with." He sat up fast holding around my back and kissed my lips.
"I'll be a good boy. As long as I get a treat when we get home." I giggled letting him kiss harder into my mouth I moaned into his soft lips and melted into him suddenly not wanting to be here. His lips were fast and hot, but so were his hands. I wanted to strip him down and let him fuck em like an animal. But we didn't get further then a hot and heavy make out session because I heard a throat get cleared. I pushed away from his throat and automatically my cheeks went beat red. I jumped off James's lap and straightened my clothes out breathing hard. I swallowed hard starring at my boss who was now smiling, walking into my office.
"It's alright Mr. Mitchell. I understand being in love." I blushed and smiled turning to see James standing up holding his beer again.
"Mr. Stevens, this is my boyfriend James Diamond. James this is my boss Louis Stevens." They both reached out their hands and shook softly. "I'm sorry Mr. Stevens. I should have been out there…" Louis raised a hand and smiled.
"It's alright Logan. At least you showed up." There was an uncomfortable laugh around the three of us making my stomach turn. I really, really hoped James didn't say anything inappropriate. "I know, I know your face from somewhere…" I glanced between my boss and boyfriend and saw James chuckle as he looked down and shifted his feet.
"Yeah. I'm a sports caster for ESPN. I have a web show."
"That's it! Wow! You didn't tell me your dating a sports buff and a celebrity!" I laughed and noticed James shake his head blushing.
"He's also very modest." Louis laughed and I wrapped an arm around his waist. We all went quiet and Louis cleared his throat.
"Well Logan if you wouldn't I have one last thing I need you to do for me before Monday." My mouth parted slightly, and I felt James tense up next to me but Louis smiled. "Just one small thing I need you to do. James can go out and mingle, get another beer and it will be five minutes tops." I smiled quick and turned up to James standing on my tip toes. I kissed his cheek and tapped his butt softly.
"Go find Kendall and Carlos. I'll be done in a minute." He nodded but he did not look happy at all. I let go of him and followed Louis out as he walked to his office door. He unlocked it and let me walk in quick. I sighed out and watched him close his door, and then lock it. That was pretty weird to me but didn't have time to question it.
"SO I need you to write up an email for me. Our newest buyer in France, the one you talked to on Monday has some questions and I of course can't write or read French." I smiled and nodded walking behind his desk and turning on his computer. "I know this sucks because there's a party out there but it will go by fast." I noticed he walked behind me probably looking over my shoulder as I logged into his computer and opened up his email. "Unless…you don't' want it to go by fast." I felt a hand on my shoulder and stopped moving immediately. "You know…when I have someone, like yourself al to myself during the day, my stupid head starts to get attached." The hand that was on my shoulder moved to the back of my neck where his fingers started to run through my hair. "And then to see you, in there with your boyfriend, just upsets me a little." Both his hands moved down quick and rested against the edge of the desk. His head was inches from mine and I could smell his breath which was laced with alcohol and a cigar if I had to guess. "There is a rule in this office Logan and I should have made it clearer to you." I actually felt scared hearing him talk and feeling him so close to me. "I'm not big on having boyfriends or girlfriends, or partners in this office doing what you two were just doing. So don't let it happen again. Do we have an understanding?" I swallowed hard nodding slowly. One of his hands rested on my arm and as he stood himself back up his hand traced up my arm. I breathed out slowly feeling ice run up and down my back. "Good…now why don't you get to writing that email and when you're done you can go get me another glass of scotch."
When I walked out of his office after not only writing back to three emails and redoing his filing cabinet for whatever reason, more people had showed up and it looked like I had been in there for almost an hour. I couldn't get the creepy feeling of what Louis did to me out of my mind but knew I couldn't do anything about it. No one would believe me if someone, like me a new assistant to one of L.A.s wealthiest men, said he was threatened and assaulted, because technically I wasn't either of those things. And maybe Louis was right. I should bring my personal life to my work. I should just be lucky he didn't fire me. I ran into James who was talking to Kendall by the bar quietly. I put on a small smile and grabbed James's hands. He smiled down at me but it faded quick. "Where have you been?! You're missing a pretty boring nerdy party!" I frowned and pulled James in closer to me yawning.
"Sorry I got a little distracted with some work. Hey can we leave soon…I just am more tired than I was expecting." I heard Kendall say something about finding Carlos and let James hold onto me kissing my head. James was going to be the last person I told about what just happened, if I even did tell anyone. Which I probably wouldn't.
