William Mathew’s party came fast. Mercer and Lorenzo were more than ready to take time off to help. They were dying to do something other than work. Though ever since their kiss both Mercer and Lorenzo had gotten closer. They would call or text each other during their free time, go out to lunch together, and hangout during breaks. But with them crowing closer, they also knew not to get too close and let their little fling interrupt their work. It was an unspoken rule that a higher up worker and his or her assistant should not mingle. This would cause waaay too much chaos for a high ranking company.

All their wishes were granted when the last stack of papers was turned in and their break was the next day.

“Ahh,” Lorenzo sighed as he sat back in his chair.

Mercer followed in pursuit. Both men were tuckered out but glad to be done. The last few weeks had been hard on the two and they really did deserve a break, even if it was for a birthday party.

“Hey Lorenzo?” Mercer looked up.

“Yeah?”

“I heard your father invited everyone out to the bar down the street and I was wondering if you were going, because if you were I’d go with too,” He bit his bottom lip.

Lorenzo nearly folded and somehow his pants became a bit tighter. He shifted his body, trying to ignore what he did not want to feel, aroused. Which made him extremely frustrated because the reason he was in this stare was for Mercer biting his lip. An innocent action that somehow sent him through loops. He sat up straight and managed to speak, without sounding too bothered.

“Oh I didn’t know about that, but now that I know, I guess I can go too. And you can tag along with you wanted,” He shifted again.

Mercer’s eyes slightly widened with excitement. He smiled softly and sat up in his seat. “I heard they were leaving right after work, should we go then too?”

“Well its 6 pm, I guess we could leave now,” Lorenzo cracked his knuckles and stands up. He discreetly adjusted his pants before grabbing his phone and keys.

Mercer, who was already giddy, also stood up. He grabbed his own phone and wallet.

“Ready?” Lorenzo stood by the door.

Mercer nodded and walked over. Lorenzo was already on his way out of their office, leaving Mercer to turn the lights off and lock the door. The two of them head out into the hallway and walk into the lobby.
