Savannah's pov:
Zach stayed in my office, waiting for Garett to come. It's been 5 minutes since we hang up.
"So when do you plan to tell the others that you are gay?" I asked curiously.
"Honestly, I think when the right time will come. I don't want to scare them off." He smiled, but I could see him hiding his sadness.
"They won't be scare, they are your best friends. They will be happy for you." I said, trying to cheer him.
"I'm not sure about that. I mean I know that they love me but I also know that when they will learn that I'm gay, it can change everything among us and I don't want that." He admitted and I frowned.
"Don't think like that. Your thoughts are your biggest enemy. Just go for it, be who you actually are." I said and he smiled, looking at me.
"I can see why he likes you." He said and I looked at him confused.
"What?" I asked.
"Nevermind but you're right. I'll go for it." He said and I nodded.
"Don't force yourself, do it when you are ready." I shrugged and he nodded.
"I know, first I have to enjoy my time with your cousin." He smirked and I rolled my eyes.
"Hmm, and may I know what are your intention about my cousin?" I asked, trying to be stern but it was hard for me not to smile.
"I don't think your innocent ears are ready to hear that." He said and my eyes widened.
"First I'll get him to like me and after I'll get to feel him. You know fuc-"
I covered my ears with my hands, blocking his voice. He was right. I didn't want to hear that. I looked at him and he was laughing at my reactions.

"How about we don't talk about that ever again," I suggested and he nodded amusedly.
"Anyways, are you going out today?" He asked and I shake my head no.
"I'll more likely be in the office. Why?" I asked and he shrugged.
"Just asking."
I went back to my files while Zach went to get himself comfortable on the couch. He was trying on his phone and he was frowning.
The door opened and Garett walked in. He was quick.
"I'm here Savy, what did- oh sorry I didn't know you had company," Garett said when he noticed Zach.
"Yeah, I need to go to the front desk to get a parcel. Why don't you stay here and keep Zach company? I'll be back soon." I lied and Garett nodded. He walked in and sat on my leather chair, his favourite place. I grabbed my phone and walked out of the office. I glanced at Zach and he winked at me. I walked to the elevator and went to the ground floor.
I walked to the counter and Ashley turned to me.
"Did you buy today's newspaper?" I asked and she nodded. She handed me the newspaper and I started to read it while standing there.
"Did Laura came?" Ashley asked confused and I chuckled.
"No, I wanted to take a break." I lied and she nodded.
"Anyway, how are you?" I asked looking at the newspaper. We usually talk about our lives whenever I came here when Laura is with Elijah.
"I have been better." She sighed and I looked up.
"What happened?" I asked and she gave me a weak smile.
"Alex cheated on me." She said and I gazed at her sympathetically
"When did that happen? You just moved in with him." I said and she nodded.

"I know. I moved in last month and last week I found out that he got a girl pregnant." She chuckled sarcastically.
That asshole..
I walked behind the counter and hugged her.
"He is a jerk. He doesn't deserve you." I said and she nodded.
"I'm not even sad about it now." She said as we pulled away.
We talked for almost an hour before I walked to the elevator. I gave Zach and Garett one hour to talk. Hopefully, Zach was able to do whatever he wanted to during this past hour.
I stepped out of the elevator and I raised an eyebrow when I saw Elijah coming out of my office wide-eyed. He noticed me and ran to me.
"What the hell is happening in your office?" He asked shocked.
"I don't know. What did you see?" I asked cautiously.
"Things that I wasn't supposed to see!" He stated and I gasped.
"They better not be doing it on my table," I said walking past Elijah. I made my way to my office but stopped. I was scared to open the door. I turned around and Elijah was right behind me.
"You go in first," I said and he shakes his head vigorously.
"I already saw too much. I'm not going in first." He stated and I sighed. I turned around and knocked before opening the door. I closed my eyes and took three steps ahead.
"Alright, I'm going to open my eyes right now so if you are naked, tell me now," I said, my eyes closed. I heard them chuckled.
"We aren't naked," Zach said and I peaked with one eye open. When I saw that they were both dressed, I opened my eyes completely.
"You can come in," I told Elijah and peeked into the room.
"You told her to come first. What a gentleman." Garett said looking at Elijah.
"Can you blame me?" Elijah asked making us laughed. I looked at Garett and Zach and their hair was messy. Few buttons on their shirt were open.
"Please tell me you didn't do anything on my table or anywhere close to my table," I said and they both smirked.
"Can't tell you that." Zach shrugged and I groaned.
"So you two are a thing now?" Elijah asked confused. He was now standing near me.
"Yeah, but let's keep that between us."

In the blink of an eye, his life is thrown into chaos when Zavier meets a young man from an alien world named Yafu.

These two boys quickly come into contact with Arigo, a mysterious and powerful defender of Earth from various interlopers from Yafu’s world, known as the Biterrain.
