Idiosyncrasies of a Shadow // (ManxMan)

~Chapter 29~

A/N: Y'all, feels train is coming in hot. This is a long one, and it has proven to be one of my favourites I have written in my 19 years of existence. 

Just before we start, here is some eye candy. Aaron's model (Rodiney Santiago) really doesn't like to wear clothes in his photoshoots, as hot as he is without a shirt, I'm sure he will be nuclear thermal if he wears a suit and tie.

Roman (Brock O'hurn) is Roman, I can't say much because the saliva in my mouth is drowning me. Okay, read on. Hope you don't cry.

[Aaron]

*~*~*

A lifetime of words;

Doesn't make up for the moment of treason;

Only if you start with a clear firm intention,

Will there be a fruitful conclusion.

"Good for you to be promoting such a good cause Aaron." A man, I think his name is Leonardo, don't quote me on that, pats me on the back. Laughing heartily as he takes a sip of his wine, he was speaking with Sebastien just moments ago, they seem to hit it off pretty well, glad to know the old man isn't rotting away in his personal bubble that no one can permeate. I run this company, sure, but the people that I interact on a weekly basis exceed the hundreds. I would love to have Skylar's ability to remember names like a phone book but I can't.

My response was a nice laugh and thank you. I should really be speaking to Sebastien and the rest of 'the others' but then again, they remind me of something not so pleasant. I'd have my head on a platter if Roman comes in and makes an argument about whatever it is he decides to throw around. Though, I can't say I would hate some romantic development tonight. I need a lay and I'm not ashamed of it.

I'm frustrated with myself, mentally and sexually. Both of which end up making me sleep unwell and cause me to fall into a pile of human scum. The fact that I stand and still be able to speak to hundreds of people is amazing, not to toot my own horn or anything.

My end of event speech is in about 20 minutes. And I'm not going to lie, this is a boring ass event. I would've done something more interesting like a carnival (throw back Thursday, except it isn't Thursday) but the amount of money I need for this cause is not going to be coverable by a carnival. And the only way to get that type of money is ether my bank account or this kind of social event for old people.
