An Unexpected Love Volume 1

As he entered the pantry, he debated if he still wanted more coffee. He wasn’t really in the mood for it anymore. He darted his eyes back and forth between the coffee inside the coffee maker and the empty mug in his hand. He was feeling strangely heavy inside, and he wasn’t really in the mood for coffee anymore. However, after a moment of hesitation, he made up his mind. He was already there inside the pantry. He might as well get what he was there for in the first place. He just had to forget about all of his dreams of asking Justin out on a date. It wasn’t his style to poach on another man’s territory. Justin was strictly off limits. Blake would treat Justin in a very professional manner. He could do that easily. From now onward, Justin would simply be his colleague instead of the attractive man he was more than a little infatuated with. He could do that. He had to. He didn’t have any other alternatives.2
