When James woke up the next morning, he unexpectedly found Logan already awake making a pot of coffee.
"Hey, why are you up so early? Normally, I'm the one who makes coffee."
"I couldn't get much sleep."
"Why?"
"You can't tell anyone. Especially Kendall, and Carlos."
"Why? DID YOU CHEAT ON CARLOS?! I SWEAR LOGAN-" James raised his voice.
"I didn't cheat on him." Logan said in a calm voice.
"Then what don't you want me to tell them? Can I tell Zane?"
"No. Don't tell Zane. He's too young to understand."
"Understand what, Logan?"
"I….had a dream about Carlos."
"So?"
"James, I had a dream about him." Logan said emphasizing the word dream.
"What kind of-Oh"
"Yeah. That kind of dream" Logan said.
"So you had a sex dream about your boyfriend. What's the problem?"
"I want to have sex with him, but I'm afraid that he'll think that I'm just using him for sex and hate me." Logan said.
"Logan, did you and Carlos have sex after the first date?"
"No."
"Did you want to?"
"Yes." Logan answered nervously.
"Logan, if you can wait a month, then a few more days, weeks, or months won't kill you."
"Look who's talking. You're always having sex with Kendall whenever it's just the two of you"
"Crap! You know about that?"
"My boyfriend is best friends with your boyfriend. He comes over here to hang out just to not hear you two."
"What can I say? I love Kendall and his body, and he really loves my di-"
"Okay! I get it."
"And I love his" James said with a smirk.
"Can we get back to me? I don't know what to do. I don't want Carlos to feel like I'm pressuring him. It's the first time I'm actually happy with someone after Camille. And the first time you actually set me up with someone who likes kids."
***FLASHBACK***
"James. Can you please watch Zane while I take a shower?"
"Sure. So you excited about this girl?"
It was the first time Logan was going on a date after Camille died seven months ago.
"I am." He said nervously.
"Don't show fear, Logan. She'll suspect something and then leave."
"What would she have to suspect? You told her everything about me,right?"
"Uh…."
"James." Logan said with a glare.
"She…doesn't know you have a son. She doesn't like kids, at all."
"James! Why would you set me up with someone who hates kids?!"
"I know you're mad, but she looks cute. Maybe she'll come around and like him."
"Forget it. I'm not going. You either try to set me up with someone who doesn't mind me having a kid or I could just go back to the-"
"I'm sorry, Logan. I just want you to be happy. And I know you don't wanna go back to the stress drinking."
"I just wanted to see her again." Logan said with tears in his eyes.
James pulled Logan close. "I know, but she'd be happy if you weren't drinking from all that stress. I promise next time, the next person I try to set you up with likes kids."
"Thanks, James." Logan said wiping the tears from his eyes.
Logan then walked over to the crib where Zane lay sleeping and picked him up gently. "I promise I'll find someone to love us just like your mommy wanted, okay Zane?"
He then kissed Zane's forehead and put him in the crib.
***END FLASHBACK***
Since then, every person James tried to set Logan up with didn't go so well.
They didn't like kids. Until Kendall and Carlos came into the picture that is.
Both Kendall and Carlos loved kids, the problem for James was figuring out who of those two would be Logan's date.
"Logan, if you want, I can spend the night at Kendall's place and you can invite Carlos over. But I don't think you'll be getting any with Zane being awake-"
"This conversation is over" Logan said trying not to laugh.
Meanwhile, Carlos woke up at around 12 noon.
He had work from 1:00 to 8:30. Yes, he had a shift a day after working an overnight shift(it happened to me lol).
He made sure he had everything he needed: shirt tucked in, apron, name tag, and his employee I.D. which he kept attached to a lanyard and wore around his neck.
When he got to the park, he saw Stephanie was also clocking in.
"You need to go to the food service office." The man who scanned Stephanie's I.D. said.
After Stephanie made her way, Carlos scanned his I.D. and was told the same thing.
"Stephanie, wait up" He called to her, catching up not more than a few steps.
"What do you think they want with us? I hope we're not getting fired" Stephanie said in a somewhat desperate voice.
"We're not. That's HR's job. Crap, what if someone from HR is there?" Carlos said in the same fear.
"I don't know. Has your till been over or short?" Stephanie asked.
"No. Perfect amount of money every time."
When they made it to the office, Randy was sitting with the director of the department, Samuel.
"Hello?" Carlos called to them.
"Yes. Carlos Garcia and Stephanie King."
"Relax, you're not in trouble." Randy said.
"Thank you." Stephanie said after letting out a deep breath.
"As you know, two of your Leads Antonio and Tyler both quit for different reasons. From what Randy said about both of your work in the Waterfront, I am impressed."
"So are you-"
"Yes. Would you both like to promoted to Leads?" Samuel asked.
"Yes. Yes. A million times yes!" Stephanie said.
"What she says" Carlos said with a smile.
"Okay. So just sign these papers and then you will be officially promoted, and you can start your shifts."
After Carlos and Stephanie both signed the papers, Samuel gave them both one more thing.
"Before you leave, I had these made just in case." He then opened a drawer and pulled out two nametags. One for each of them.
The only difference being that their new nametags had the word 'Lead' under their names and that the font was in red, as opposed to black.
Carlos took his old nametag off his apron and got his new one holding it above his old one asking "can you take a picture of them?"
"Sure" Samuel smiled.
Carlos gave Samuel his phone to take a picture of his new nametag, and put it on facebook right away.
Carlos then put his new nametag on his apron, and gave Samuel his old one.
Not surprisingly, Logan was the first to 'like' the picture.
"Before you both go, Stephanie, you are on timesheets today." Randy said to them.
"Thank you" They both said as they made their way to the Waterfront.
When Stephanie got to the front desk, she immediately took her promotion well, as she was delegating where other employees would work, while Carlos helped cook the burgers.
Then out of nowhere, while Stephanie was checking to see which employees needed a break, the radio started to play Pocketful of Sunshine.
"Aagh. Worst song ever."
However, a few lines into the song, she slowly started to sing.
Do what you want but you're never gonna break me
Sticks and stones are never gonna shake me, oh, oh
Then she started going all Easy A on it.
TAKE ME AWAY
A SECRET PLACE
A SWEET ESCAPE
A HOLIDAY!
I GOT A POCK-
She stopped singing and found everyone staring at her. Her only reaction was that she shouldn't have watched Easy A so much.
After a few more hours, Carlos' first shift post promotion was over.
As soon as he clocked out, he got a text from Logan.
Logan: Do you wanna come over for dinner tonight to celebrate your promotion? James and Kendall are gonna be out.
Carlos felt his heart stop. Did Logan mean 'celebrate' as in sex or just dinner?
Carlos: sure. Just let me change out of my uniform first.
As soon as he went home, Carlos went straight to his room and changed into a dark blue paid shirt over a white v-neck with a pair of dark blue jeans.
In a few minutes, Carlos came over to Logan's house.
"Hello, Carlos!" Zane said.
"Hi, Zane!" Carlos said as he bent down to hug the toddler.
"Where's your daddy?"
"In the kitchen!" Logan called.
"Hey." Carlos said as he came up behind Logan, kissing his neck.
"Hey. Congratulations on your promotion."
"Thanks. What are you cooking?"
"Steak, shrimp alfredo, and mashed potatoes." Logan said.
"Wow. That's an upgrade from what I serve at work."
"I figured that you wanted to eat something that you didn't see every day." Logan said as he cut the steak on Zane's plate in small pieces so he wouldn't choke.
"Zane, eating time!"
"YAY!" Zane cheered as he ran into the kitchen.
"How were your recordings today?" Carlos asked after taking a bite of the pasta.
"Good. Four songs successfully recorded for the album." Logan smiled.
"Remind me to buy it when it comes out."
"I'll do better than that. I'll get you a copy, a few days before it comes out to the public."
"Thanks."
"Carlos? Why are you happier a lot today?" Zane asked.
"Because I got a promotion at work." Carlos smiled.
"Um…..I'm a shift Leader now. It means I'm one the bosses where I work."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh."
"That's so cool. Daddy, can we visit Carlos at his work?" Zane pleaded.
"One day. I promise. I have work everyday next week." Logan said.
"Okay."
"One day, we'll go when I don't have work, so I can show you the other places." Carlos said.
"Cool. We'll love that. We got lost that day I first saw you." Logan said with relief in his voice.
"I just want you two to have fun at the park." Carlos said.
Before they knew it, they finished dinner.
"Zane, go brush your teeth, and then go to bed alright?"
"Okay. Good night daddy, goodnight Carlos!" He said as he hugged them both.
"Zane seems happy about going back to Six Flags." Carlos said.
"Yeah, he really likes that place, and you."
"Well, I really like you both. I don't know why anyone would ever hate you."
"Well, after Zane's mother died, James had many failed attempts at setting me up. All those people didn't love kids. You're the first person to ever accept James' offer."
"I'm glad I did. I never had someone cook me dinner to celebrate anything ever."
"Well, I have been told that I have many admirable qualities."
"So have I, but I have yet to know what those qualities are." Carlos said
"Are you kidding? You're hot, nice, good at cooking, smart, and a lot more I can't think of" Logan said with a smile.
"Thanks. And thanks again for dinner."
"You're welcome" Logan said as he leaned in closer.
Once their lips touched, they remained touching for several minutes until Logan stopped for a few seconds saying "bedroom."
Logan pulled Carlos inside and shut and locked the door and immediately felt Carlos slip his hands under his shirt and pull it off.
Logan then unbuttoned the plaid shirt Carlos was wearing, and slipped his v-neck off.
Logan was impressed by what he saw.
Carlos was muscular under that Six Flags uniform, and he had a lot of it.
"You like what you see?" Carlos whispered.
"Yes." Logan said as he kissed Carlos' lips again and ran his hands down his abdomen.
Logan's hands then undid the button on Carlos' pants, who did the same to him.
Both men were now standing in their boxers kissing when Logan pushed Carlos onto the bed.
Logan began kissing down Carlos' body making his boyfriend moan in pleasure.
In one swift moment, Logan pulled Carlos' boxers off and was impressed yet again.
Before Logan could do anything, Carlos pushed his back on the bed, and pulled his boxers of right away, and whispered to Logan "fuck me."
Carlos was once again pushed onto his back when Logan put two fingers to Carlos' mouth.
Carlos started to suck on them for a few minutes, and Logan pulled them out after about three minutes.
Slowly, Logan thrusted his fingers one by one into Carlos, with Carlos going wild moaning in pleasure as more were eventually added.
Logan pulled his fingers out, and asked Carlos "are you ready?"
"God yeah, give it to me."
That was all Logan needed to hear.
He lined up his cock with Carlos' hole and slowly thrusted it in.
After starting off slowly, Carlos was moaning even more.
"Logan, go faster."
Logan did as he was told. As he trusted faster, Carlos reached up and ran his hands up and down Logan's chest.
A few minutes more the they both came with cries of pleasure with Logan cumming inside Carlos, while Carlos shot his load all over their bodies.
Logan was not done yet. He slowly pulled out and started to suck on Carlos cock who quickly came again in his throat.
Logan then kissed Carlos passionately with his lover's cum still on his lips.
"Carlos?"
"Yes, Logan?"
"I love you"
"I love you too"
Then Logan wrapped his arms around Carlos and they both fell asleep unaware that when they started having sex it was 9:00pm and it was now 2:00am. They didn't even know that were having sex for that long.
But that didn't matter, what mattered was that they cared for each other.
