Chapter 49

It has been two weeks since Seth last saw Leon, however Leon had not given up on Seth. He had sent flowers to his work. He had called his cell several times, which Seth had ignored each one. He didn't want anything to do with the man. He had caused him enough heartache. He was not going to let that man back into his life. However, the man was persistent. Seth couldn't believe that Leon would push this much for someone that he only wanted as a sex friend.

Seth let out a sigh. He didn't know what to do. The way Leon was acting was really strange for someone that said they were only sex friends. He couldn't figure the man out. Why would he go that far for someone like him? Were there not other fish in the sea that he could easily go catch? Seth let out another sigh.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Seth sat back on his couch.

"I'm fine Jeremy." Seth spoke to the man. He was past exhausted. He was ready to pass out. "We have been working on these documents for quite some time now. I think that it would be

best if you go lay down for a little bit."

"We really don't have the time. We need to get this stuff taking care of as soon as possible." Jeremy leaned over and smacked Seth on the side of his head.

"Who do you think caused this mess to happen in the first place?" Seth looked down at the floor.

He knew Jeremy was right.

"Ok then. I will go lay down. But only for an hour got it." Seth spoke. He sluggishly got onto his feet and slowly made his way to the bedroom. Jeremy couldn't help but be a little worried over the other man. He could tell that Seth had so much stuff on his mind. He just didn't want to pry too much. However, he wanted to be as much help to the man as he could. He stretched out his legs. He was feeling the same way as Seth was but because of a different reason.

"I really hope that Seth gets better." Jeremy spoke quietly to himself. The sound of the doorbell was heard. "Hey Seth!" He yelled. "The door." He waited a minute till he heard Seth reply.

"Get it!" Jeremy got to his feet and made his way over to the door. The doorbell kept going off several times like if they were in urgent need of help.

"I'm coming, just chill." Jeremy opened the door. A man he recognized but couldn't place where was standing in front of him. The man's eyes slowly narrowed and his voice was not pleasant.

"Who the fuck are you?" He spoke out. Jeremy was taken aback by the man's question.

"Well nice to meet you too." Jeremy tried to stay calm but it came out sarcastically.

"Where the fuck is Seth?" The man questioned. Suddenly Jeremy knew where he saw the man. "You're the guy that was inviting Seth to your concerts and everything." He spoke as he

snapped his fingers in Ah ha. "Seth is actually laying down right now. He's exhausted." Jeremy started to laugh. "It would make sense since we were up all night." Something snapped in Leon. He pushed Jeremy into the hallway of the apartment.

"What the fuck did you do to my Seth?" The man yelled.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" Jeremy tried to pull the man off of him.

"That man is mine! I don't care what he has told you."

"Huh?" Jeremy was passed confusion. He had no idea what the man was talking about. His Seth? It almost sounded like. Did he just open the door to a lovers quarrel? Was this the reason that Seth acted the way he did at work? Jeremy took the man's fists that were tightening on his shirt collar. "Listen. It's not what you think. We are not-"

"Leon. What are you doing here?" Leon looked over at Seth who was now standing in the hallway. He heard some noise and went to investigate. He never thought he would find Leon in his home.

"You're fucking this man!" Leon yelled. Both men looked at him.

"What are you talki-"

"Don't bullshit me! You think that since you can't get over me that you will use this man as a way to forget me." Jeremy tried to pull Leon's fists away from him again as he spoke.

"I think that you are mistaken. We are not-"

"Shut up! I'm not going to listen to someone like you." Leon looked at Jeremy. "The only reason he's fucking you is because he's trying to get me out of his system!" Leon looked over at Seth. "Isn't that right! Tell him!" Leon shouted.

"You really an idiot." Seth sighed. He couldn't help but place his hand on his head as he shook it. Leon growled.

"What the fuck! I'm the idiot!"

"Yes you are!" Seth yelled out. "Why would I sleep with my coworker that is married and straight

beyond words?" Seth pointed at the man that Leon was holding hostage. Leon looked down at the man who was still held by his fists.

"Coworker?" Leon questioned confused.

"Yes my coworker." Seth spoke out.

"No, no! He said that he kept you up all night!" Leon yelled. Seth rubbed his temples.

"There had been a big assignment that was giving to all the teams at our work. I was working on it with the team and realized that there were several mistakes. Since these documents are due the day after tomorrow. Jeremy here has allowed me to use his time to help me get it completed." The grip Leon had on Jeremy's collar started to loosen.

"So he's not your new man?" Leon questioned.

"Why would I want to go to another man?" Leon let go of the man and stepped back a little. A small chuckle was heard. "What is so funny?" Seth questioned. The chuckle was turned into an outburst laughter. Seth was getting angry. He was being laughed at.

"I'm so glad." Leon spoke after he calmed down. "I wasn't replaced by another man." "Leon." Seth voice was above a whisper.

"I was so scared that you left me for good and went to another man. I didn't know what to do if I found out that I was replaced."

"So you understand how I felt." Seth darted his eyes to the side. His arms were folded on his chest. Leon slowly made his way over to Seth. He caught the shorter man in his arms. "Ah…Leon?" Seth was confused.
