Chapter 5

Alexander's POV.

8:00pm.

Ah, the 8:00 hour. This only leaves me and Jefferson in the building.

I yawn and stretch my arms, then I get back to work. Writing papers and everything, all that.

Then I hear a little knock on my office door.

"Come in." I say.

The office door opens to reveal my Tall, Temporary Boss. Jefferson.

"Hello Hamilton. Just came to check up on you.." Jefferson says.

"Well I'm fine, you can leave. Please and thank you." I say.

"Why are you always so cranky?" Jefferson asks.

"I'm not cranky. I'm just trying to do work and I don't need anyone bothering me." I say.

"Here take a break, let's just talk, yknow maybe we don't need to be enemies anymore-" Jefferson says.

"What no just-" I start.

Then Jefferson grabs my arm tugs me out of my chair and sits me down on the small couch in my office.

We sit next to each other in silence, at least only for a little bit.

"So, can we maybe stop calling each other by our last names.. just call me Thomas." Jeffers- or well Thomas says.

"Sure alright, that's fine." I say, "Can I go to work now?"

"No! I want to just sit, relax, and talk. Come on-" Thomas says.

"No I'm gonna just work." I say, then I get up. Immediately I get pulled back down but I'm not on the couch.. I'm on.. THOMAS' LAP?!

"GETMEOFFYOURLAP!" I scream.

"Jeez Alexander, calm down.." Thomas says. He turns me around so I face him.

"Why- but- just let me work! Cmon!" I say, struggling to get out Thomas' lap, but his grip is too strong-

"No.. Cmon.. take a break Alexander.." Thomas says, he keeps his grip on my waist tight.

"Let me work, after I can leave this place and go home, and then I can get a good night of sleep." I say.

"Come on. We both know you don't sleep at all. That's why this room reeks of coffee cups." Thomas says.

"Asshole." I say

"Bitch." Thomas replies.

"Jeffershit."

"Hamilwhore."

Honestly it went on for awhile, me and Thomas laughed and called each other names.

"Ok, ok, enough. So isn't this better then working?" Thomas says.

"No." I simply say.

"Ugh, why do you like working anyways? I mean your always taking the long shifts and stuff.." Thomas says.

"I don't really have anything or anyone else in my life. So coffee and work drowns the stress of trying to find someone or something to put in my life." I say.

Thomas frowns, then winks, "I could be part of your life~"

I blush, "I- I meant like romantically in my life.."

Thomas doesn't reply with anything. Instead he just changes the subject.

~Timeskip~

I look at my watch... 1:36am?! Goddamn, me and Thomas have been talking for quiet a while.

Thomas talks and talks, I yawn, starting to be come tired. Still on Thomas' lap, I lean forward and rest my head on Thomas shoulder.

In the matter of minutes, I fall asleep.
