Terrence got up abruptly as he woke up in a room not familiar to him. "Where am I? I remember I'm on a couch just now." He got down from the bed and found his shoes properly arranged on the floor. His eyes roamed around the room. It's fully furnished, looks like a small house as there is a small kitchen with fridge, living room with two single couches and a big flat-screen TV. And the bed, a king-size bed where next to it is a full glass wall overlooking the city skyscraper.
"How was your sleep?" Terrence jumped off the bed when he heard his boss' voice.
"Denver?!"
"Yes, I am! You're in my private suite here inside the office. You fell asleep on the couch so I carried you here."
"But you don't have to do that. Just woke me up instead." Terrence quickly put on his shoes planning to go out.
"Where are you going?"
"To my office."
"Everyone is home already."
Terrence looked at his wristwatch and worries flashed on his face as he thought of Sheldon. It's fifteen past eight and he's still not home.
"If you're thinking about Sheldon, he is with James now. I sent him there to accompany him.
"But I still need to go home now." Terrence walked towards the door but Denver blocked his way.
"Terrence, has anybody told you that you're pretty?" Denver suddenly asked as he looked at him intently.
"What kind of question is that?"
"A question, a simple question."
"Nobody!"
"So I'm the only person who is not blind to see such beauty in front of me now?"
"Sir, you're talking nonsense."
"Anything about you makes a lot of sense Terrence. And I told you to stop calling me with such formalities."
"Is this how you treat your employees?"
"Only you!"
"Why?"
"Because since the day you came, you keep bothering me."
"Did I do something not right?"
"No! But your presence is so much bothering me."
"So you want me to disappear?" Terrence didn't get what his boss wanted to say.
Denver runs his fingers on his hair back.
"Terrence, you know what? You're the most intelligent person I know but the slowest to understand simple things."
"Huh!" He was surprised by what his boss said. He doesn't understand.
"I like you! Still don't understand?"
"He likes me? Impossible!" His world seems to stop as he realizes the words that his boss uttered a while ago.
When Denver saw that Terrence had no reaction he did several steps and held him on his waist and kissed him aggressively. Terrence back to his senses he tried to push Denver but he was so strong not even wavered on what he was doing until he felt his arms tired of pushing him. Unconsciously, his arms wrapped around Denver's neck as he felt his knees shaken, able to withstand the sensation creeping on his spine. He even now responded that his boss kissed.
Denver kissed from aggressive to passionate and gentle made Terrence fully in a daze. He slightly opened his mouth and Denver's presumptuous lips made his entrance and started to explore his cavern.
"Mmmm..." Terrence moaned as he felt Denver's other hand caressing his back while his other hand on his nape pulled his head closer as he tugs his tongue to his. He sucked it too and his lips as well. Terrence dragged his fingers on Denver's shoulder as he was out of breath.
"Huuufffftt..." they both panting as they gasp for breath.
"Terrence, I like you!" Denver said as he leaned his forehead on Terrence.
"It's not right. You're my boss and I'm a man too." Terrence replied but he felt pain deep inside of him which confused him.
"I don't care! As you said I'm a boss here so nobody can go against me especially when it comes to personal things like this."
"I need to go home now." Terrence averted his gaze to his side.
"Terrence, please!" Denver didn't release him, instead he held his waist tighter, closer to him. "I like you! I love you! I don't understand. I don't know when it started but when I saw you on your first day at the entrance, it seemed it wasn't our first time to see each other."
Terrence's heartbeat pumped hard as he heard his young boss say.
"I'll think about it."
Denver held his chin and let him look at him. He then brushed his lips against his. "You are mine now."
"I said I'll think about it."
Denver released him and they both went down to the carpark silently. Terrence cannot think properly as he finds things happening so fast. Denver respected his silence as he knows Terrence is quite surprised with his actions.
"I'll pick you up tomorrow so we will go together to the bidding venue."
"I have my car. I can go by myself."
"Terrence!"
"Please give me some time to think. It's just so fast. I can't think properly now."
"Okay!" Denver gripped the steering wheel tightly as he drove. He's being impatient with Terrence but he tries to understand him.
" Uncle James, is your boss married?" Sheldon asked James as they sat facing each other at the dining table as he offered coffee to him.
"No!"
"Does he have a girlfriend?"
"No!"
"Fling?"
"No!"
"Good! How about a past relationship or any person involved with him?"
"Once!"
"In a relationship?"
"No! Involve in one person."
"Where is that person?"
"Don't know!
"Hmmm, interesting!" Sheldon said as he smiled vividly while tapping his forefinger on his cheeks looking at the ceiling.
James on the other hand felt bored as it's his first time being a nanny of not just an ordinary kid but he thinks smarter than his boss.
They both stand up as they hear a car stop outside.
"It's my Daddy!" Sheldon exclaimed as he peeps from the window glass.
He went to the door and opened it.
"Daddy!" He shouted while running towards their small gate but he was suddenly stopped as he saw his Daddy kissed by someone inside the car. James who was beside him covered his eyes but it was so late as Sheldon already saw it.
"Sheldon?" Terrence said as soon as Denver left his lips as they saw his son standing a few meters away from the car, eyes covered by James's hand.
"I'll talk to him."
"No! I'll do it."
Denver just leaned his back on the car seat as Terrence quickly got down from his car and walked towards Sheldon. Sheldon ran back to their house as soon as James released him.
"Sheldon!" Terrence called him but the kid ran faster. He quickly chases him as he knows he is upset about what he saw.
"Sheldon, please let Daddy explain." Terrence is knocking on his son's room door as he locked himself inside. It's the first time that his son has been upset like this. He made him upset before but never locked himself in his room. "Sheldon ah, please open the door for Daddy. Let's talk."
Terrence heard a click sound and the door gently opened. He saw his son with pouting lips. He quickly grabbed him and embraced him.
"I'm sorry. Daddy didn't mean to hurt you."
"You love him?"
"I don't know!"
"But why did you let him kiss you?"
Terrence doesn't know how to tell his son how he feels. He is too young to think about all these kinds of things.
"Baby, you're still young to bother about all these things."
"You said we will find my other Daddy. You said you only love me. Your boss is taking you away from me." Sheldon sobbed.
"It's not like that baby. Daddy loves you, okay? No one can replace you in my heart."
"Promise?"
"Yes! Now you go to sleep."
"I haven't eaten dinner yet coz I'm waiting for you."
Terrence's heart clenched as he heard his son. His conscience-stricken him as he remembered how he responds to his boss' kisses but here, his son is waiting for him for dinner. He thought of himself as an irresponsible father.
"Do you love him, Dad?" Sheldon asked while they're both eating the noodles soup that Terrence quickly cooked.
"I don't know, son. It just happened very fast."
Sheldon fell into silence and continued eating his food.
"Mr. Madrigal, aren't we going home yet?" James asked as they're still outside Terrence's residence. Denver is still looking at the house.
"Okay, we can go now." He responds after a while.
The next day, Denver picked up Terrence and Sheldon.
"Good morning buddy!" Denver greeted the kid.
"It wasn't a good morning." Sheldon crossed his arm and averted his gaze towards the outside.
Terrence shook his head looking at Denver telling him not to talk to Sheldon at the moment as he is upset. Denver nodded.
They arrived at Sheldon's school and Terrence held Sheldon's hand to send him to his classroom.
"I'll go with you." Denver got down from his car too while James left in the driver's seat.
They both sent Sheldon to his classroom. They are both happy to see that Sheldon has a lot of friends as when he arrived other kids came to him and gathered around him.
"Are you ready?" Denver asked Terrence as he held his hand when they're back in his car.
"Hmmm..." Terrence nodded.
Denver then reached his lips and kissed him. He pushed him gently as he saw James looking at them in the rearview mirror.
"Good luck kiss, Sweetie!" Denver said, wiggling his brows. Terrence felt his face tightened and flashed with chilli as he felt it burning in embarrassment.
"You're blushing." Denver chuckled as he held him on his waist closer to him.
Terrence didn't stop his boss as he cannot deny to himself that he loves what his boss did. He too doesn't understand when he started to like him. He admitted to himself that he is attracted to his boss.
Denver pecked another kiss on his lips as soon as they arrived at the carpark.
"James is here so stop kissing me." Terrence put his finger on Denver's lips to stop him from giving him another kiss.
"He's fine. He doesn't care about us." Denver smirked.
"We need to go now. The bidding will start soon." Terrence said as he turned around to get out of the car. James already opened the car door for him.
"Just one!" Denver smiling at him raising his hand showing his forefinger. And the other pulled him back.
"Denver, my goodness. Okay fine!" Terrence then planned to give him a feather-light kiss but Denver caught his lips and gave him a deep passionate kiss.
"That's enough, I think we will win the bidding today. That's too much good luck already." Denver said, chuckling after he released Terrence's lips.
Terrence glared at him. "That's what you think. I don't want you to dominate me, Denver." And he gave him a smirk.
"What's with that smile sweetie? You're scaring me."
"Nothing! You will know soon." Terrence gave him a quick kiss on his cheeks and got down the car.
"Oh! The representative from Madrigal Corporation just arrived." The hosts of the bidding were announced on stage. Everyone turned around at the entrance of the hall. Amazement can be seen in their eyes as they look at the person who is smiling at the entrance. Terrence bowed his head and went straight to the assigned seat for their company.
The bidding started but Terrence felt uncomfortable as he felt like someone was looking at him. When he simply looked around everyone was focused on the bidding.
"So it's true that you're back. Boss will be happy to know it. But you're working for the company, you're not supposed to."
