Whatever You Say Handsome

Justin continued to stand there awkwardly for a minute, until Liang Jian Amal started to feel a little uncomfortable under the smaller man's intense gaze. It was almost as if he was stripping him with his eyes. Clearing his throat with a fist to his mouth Liang JianAmal tried to draw Justin's focus back to reality. 

 

"Mmm what'd you say, sorry." With a glaze in his eye Justin felt himself come to. 

 

'What an odd fellow.' Not understanding what Chang saw in such a man, Liang JianAmal pressed on. 

 

"I'm here today Mr. Che to rent the room that you have available for rent on Craigslist. May I come inside?"

 

"Please come in, come in!" Justin opened the door wider to let Liang JianAmal in, with Luo Jun trailing in behind him. As they passed Justin gave Luo Jun a second look, narrowing his eyes. 

 

'Hmm this guy seems familiar somehow..'

 

As soon as they both passed by Justin quickly shook off his favorite bunny slippers, put his glasses on the key shelf, and smoothed back his close- cropped hair. With a hand over his mouth he did a quick breath check, making sure he would not further embarrass himself. 

 

'Oh yeah, I'm ready!'

 

Liang Jian Amal and his assistant passed by the galley kitchen on the right and came to the dining room with the little table sitted close to a serving station opening to the kitchen.

 

Liang Jian Amal smiled seeing the small vase of sunflowers on the table knowing without a doubt that it was evidence of Chang's touch. Standing by the table with his hands clasped he waited for Justin to join them, hoping to make the matter as quick as possible. 

 

After a few seconds Justin joined them and began to show him the extra room as he had stated upon his arrival. While showing him the way to the room that he had come interested in Justin pointed at the two closed doors stating one was his room, while the other's would be another roommate's, a nice young lady by the name of Chang.  

 

Hearing the way he described Chang and the fact that they had separate bedrooms Liang JianAmal felt himself take a small breath of relief. 

 

'So they are not in an intimate relationship as I had thought. When he charged at me last night for "his girl" I thought I was losing my mind.'

 

"Mm I will have to stop you there Mr. Che." Justin was just opening the door to the empty bedroom to show him inside when Liang JianAmal halted him with his words. 

 

"Eh?" He asked in confusion, ' I thought Mr. Adonis here was here for this room..'

 

Liang Jian Amal pointed to Justin's room next to Chang's, "I will take this room."

 

"Uh, sorry that room is taken by moi, unless are you saying you'd like to stay in my room with me?" Hearing his words Justin blinked his eyes at him adorably, trying to charm him

 

Seeing the other man blinking his eyes at him rapidly, Liang JianAmal felt his upper lip curl in disgust and decided to cut the exchange even shorter. Snapping his fingers at Luo Jun, the assistant came forward and placed a check into Justin's hands. 

 

"I believe you will find this amount more than sufficient. I am not only paying the entirety of the rent, but there is also a small stipend for your grace and consideration. That should be more than enough to cover any costs to move your stuff to the other room, though I will pay for that as well if necessary. I-" He was about to continue when Justin cut him off.

 

"What's going on here, you obviously can afford way better than our crummy apartment, so why? You're not up to something illegal or something are you?!" 

While he could be a tyrant, he was by no means a lowlife. Hearing someone talking to his boss in such a manner Luo Jun shook his finger at Justin.

 

"Mr. Che, how dare you accuse Mr. Liang of being a crook-"

 

"What'd you say his name was?"Justin interrupted suddenly again.  He paused for a second before recognition shined in his eyes.

 

"Hey wait a minute, you're the weird guy from last night that tried to stop me from leaving, so you must of been the man all over my friend like white on rice!". Justin pointed at the two men respectively as he spoke of them. Feeling the cogs stating to turn in his mind delight started to sparkle in Justin's eyes. He looked down at the check that had stamped on in Liang International, then back at Liang Jian Amal. 

 

"What is your name." Already knowing the answer Justin still wanted to hear him say it out loud. 

 

"Liang Jian Amal." Raising an eyebrow the man succinctly replied. 

 

"Ahaha it's like Christmas in July!" 'I can't believe such juicy situation is about to play out right before me.' Hearing exactly the reply he expected, Justin started bouncing up and down clapping. 

 

Seeing his enthusiastic reply Liang JianAmal was somewhat taken aback. 

 

"Does this mean that we have a deal Mr. Che?" Not knowing that Justin already knew of his and Chang's history, he could not understand his reaction at all. Already in his mind he saw Justin Che not only as an overly clingy man, but he was starting to believe that he was a little insane as well. Though since Justin had stopped interjecting,  it seemed as the man was agreeing to his proposal. Clearing his throat, Liang JianAmal tried to contain his growing annoyance. 

 

"Oh yes, yes, and please, Mr. Che is my father, call me Justin." Justin pushed out his hand to shake Liang JianAmal's to seal the deal. "So should I be keeping this a secret from Chang for now?" Putting a hand over his mouth to conceal his wicked grin, Justin could already imagine a thousand situations, all entertaining. 

 

"Yes.. For now please keep the information of my staying here to yourself." 'What does he know?' His eyes flashing with surprise for half a moment Liang JianAmal started to appraise Justin differently. 

 

"For now then, I will return to my company until tonight. I will be returning then. Tomorrow I will purchase furniture for remodeling my room."

 

"Whatever you say handsome!" Holding up an OK sign with his fingers Justin gave him a wink. 

 

Liang Jian Amal paused seeing that, maybe this was bad idea..
