Chase's POV:
What the hell did I just do?
I clutched my head mentally cursing myself. Okay this stubborn guy annoys the s**t out of me and I kissed him?!
Well but he didn't seem like he hated it. And on a closer look, he doesn't look that bad.
He would be much more of my type of he didn't run his mouth.
Wait! That's not the point here! We're like Tom and Jerry.
We can never play friends.
Chase, you need to calm down.
You haven't been getting some of it these days.
Sexual frustrations are the worst.
Or else why would you do something like that?
"I'm ready." I heard Eric and saw him dressed in a grey blazer with a white shirt underneath
His hair were down.
He has a fair skin. He touched his Adam's apple and ran his fingers over it as he tried to fix his top button.
He looks hot.
"Shall we?" He asked pretending nothing happened which actually pissed me off a little
Fine if he can act ignorant then so can I.
I opened the door for him as he sat in the front seat beside me.
All the way I drove, both of us were quiet.
I could see Eric play Candy Crush on his phone.
I did think of saying something but nevermind. I turned on the radio. The song Into you by Ariana Grande was being played
So baby, come light me up
And maybe I'll let you on it
A little bit dangerous,
But baby, that's how I want it
A little less conversation, and
A little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you
Into you
Into you
Got everyone watchin' us
So baby, let's keep it secret
A little bit scandalous
But baby, don't let them see it
A little less conversation and
A little more touch my body
'Cause I'm so into you…
I kept glancing at Eric and noticed that he's doing the same.
The whole way I drove, we're the same.
"We're here." I said and noticed Eric was nervous because of being in the spotlight.
I got off the car first and covered as he I opened the door for him to get out.
He was trying to hide behind me. I sighed and rubbed his back which calmed him down.
What am I even doing?
We finally took our seats and our microphones were adjusted as the impatient audience threw their questions at us.
I saw Eric who was clearly annoyed. I answered most of the questions so that Eric doesn't blurt out anything stupid
"Damnit!
Why do I have to be decoration piece?" I heard Eric mumble to himself but loud enough for me to hear
"Alright, we have heard from the CEO of Le Elegance. Now we hope to hear from his fiancee." The host said and the attention shifted to Eric
To my surprise, he put up a pretty confident show for the audience impressing me.
There were a bunch of business associates looking for my weak point have attended this event especially to judge my partner.
"So Mr. Eric Walt, what's your plan for the future? How do you plan on taking the business to greater heights with your husband? As we all know the choice of Mr. Knight is always exceptional and the best." The host challenged to test him
"Well, to be honest I'm happy with love and support that you guys have given to Le Elegance and also for supporting my fiancee.
I want to cut the answer for your question in short.
There are three responses to a piece of design.
Yes, No and WOW.
WOW is the one to aim for." Eric's answer made the audience give a big round of applause
"That's a brilliant answer. As expected from Mr. Knight's partner." The host said making me smile
But the questions didn't stop there. I still had my Rivals.
Ofcourse I would step in to help him but I really wanna see how far he can go.
I trust his abilities so far.
The next round of questions from one of my rival began.
"Mr. Eric, you know your personal life and professional life both belong to the people when you step into this industry right?"
Eric nodded as a yes
"The you must know that homosexuality is prohibited in the light of religion? The punishment is hell."
I growled when the bastard attacked personally. He always had an issue with homosexuality. But before I could say something,
Eric let out a sarcastic laugh
"As if you are going to heaven. It's okay if you don't like me, not everyone has good taste."
There was a roll of laughter as the host was all quiet, embarrassed with his question when Eric mocked him.
I tried to hold in my laugh.
"Mr. Eric, do you ever feel jealous of Mr. Knight's former partners?" Asked another reporters
"Too glam to give a damn." He replied once again proving his wits.
And now the question was for me
"Mr. Knight, from our resources it's known that Mr. Eric had a record of information theft in his previous workplace. Do you think it might damage your reputation?"
Eric went all quiet in a second. I saw guilt in his eyes with I didn't want to see.
He was blank, more like freezed actually. His hands were curling into balls.
I sighed and flashed a smile for the audience
"Well, Le Elegance is always on the top without any doubt and if I let something like this bother me, I'll loose my partner."
Eric stared at me with wide eyes. He obviously did not expect me to say that
"Mr. Knight, you seem to love Mr. Walt a lot. Could you let us know your favorite qualities in him?"
My eyes were still not leaving Eric's
"Class, Sass and a little bit of Bad ass." I winked at him and he looked away with his same old stubborn look making me chuckle softly
We heard people cheering for us and congratulating.
I got a message on my phone. It's from dad.
"The interview went better than expected. Good job."
I didn't reply, rather I guided Eric all the way to my car.
I was putting on my seatbelts when I heard him mutter something
"Thanks."
I smiled
"You're welcome."
I turned on the radio and the song Eenie Meenie by Justin Bieber was being played.
And seemed like we both were going along with the tune as we let out a laugh together as I drove
You can't make up your mind, mind, mind, mind, mind
Please don't waste my time, time, time, time, time
I'm not tryna rewind, -wind, -wind, -wind, -wind
I wish our hearts could come together as one
'Cause shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lover
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lover
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney mo lover
Shorty is a eenie meenie miney…
