LET ME(MxM)

chapter 5

Roderick's POV

....."I am going to make sure they are delivered to you myself... you have my word" I heard myself say with a lot of reassurance and a smile I knew I dug from deep down.
"Thank you" they both replied.
I shook their hands and looked at them while they left then walked away as well. By now I was tired.

Not that I don't love my job because I do love it but some days I just can't. I slowly moved to my office while I took off my grey court and swaying my head from my left to right shoulder as if trying to give myself a massage.

I got inside my office which was pretty much empty with a window straight up as you walk in that let in a lot of light. The walls were painted white. I flung my court across the room to my table .

My table had three toy cars on top and some papers scattered. The cars were Ferrari, Audi and Bentley. I went around my desk and sat down in my chair and threw my head back closing my eyes just to breath for a moment but before I could even hear myself think I heard a knock at the door.

"What now"  my voice sounding like I was in agony or some sort of discomfort. It was one of my employees...." a buyer requests to see you specifically" he said
"Me?" I asked with the same tone
"Yes sir" .....
"Alright ..I'll be there".

I was so lazy so I pushed myself backwards while I was still seated in my swivel chair until I was at the door and then stood up...composed myself and opened the door. " be nice" I kept telling myself over and over again until I got there.

I looked at him and he was standing in a way that I could only see his  side profile for a second and I could tell this should be easy. He kept on pointing at cars and I couldn't help buh say "seems you like them all"...when he turned his face to me I noticed he looked like someone I knew. I tilted my head to the side and I furrowed my eye brows at him.
" Do we know each other? "I asked with an unsure tone. He stared at me laughing while bending over and clapping his hands. " hmmm" I added not minding him and at this point I was regretting why I asked in the first place.

"Yo dense" I heard him say through his laughter as he stood up straight. "Its Arnold you maff". My eyes widened and my mouth went open...first because I knew we were the only ones who used the word maff to mean mother fucker and second Arnold looked different ...like hot different and I know this makes me sound like I'm crushing but who is listening anyway. "What ...the ...fuck!...duude have u been to prison or something " I asked while I joined in to laugh but noticed he had paused and was now staring at me.
"Wh...why would you say that"

"Nooo as in you look ripped...OK I might have exaggerated with the prison part buh...jeez mhen you look good...bet you have the women flooding your house everyday" I continued
"Waah I'm busy ...I have no time for girls" he said while looking at the cars around us and I noticed he was being serious
"What changed?" There was a bit of silence and I wasn't intending on making this any awkward....

" You know what I don't want to know I'm just glad to see you...how many years man?" I walked up to him and gave him a hug. He was big compared to me...i mean i don't look bad myself...I'm competitive you know but it seems he had even grown taller but no my shoes were too flat...his must be higher than mine ...consolation...

"OK so which one did you like" a smile still painted on my face and I'm thinking my mouth must be stuck there
"Forget the cars we need to do some major catching up" he said and I could feel the excitement in his voice.
"Hey wait...I have a place to run"

"Not to be mean but...I don't see anybody here besides its Friday"

"Fair enough... Let me go grab my court ...I'll meet you out in five and u better buy me something to eat because I'm starving"
