Turning around and smiles seeing his man sleeping curled up next to him, feeling his warmth and listening to his steady breathing.
He grinned knowing that he didn't last long on the sofa, that he would return to the bed pretty soon after he did. Of course he didn't know Andy had carried him, not hearing or feeling anything as he was in a deep sleep. He stroked his curls and kissed his cheek. He stirred a little but didn't wake up.
The Taxi would be arriving in less than an hour so he made himself look presentable, finding a suit jacket, black jeans and black T-shirt. He didn't know why but it seemed suitable to be all in black. He thought it would make him look tougher and no nonsenses, perhaps less approachable or signal he meant business.
Standing primping in the full length mirror making sure he look perfect, beard trimmed hair tied back and of course the last accessorized sun glasses.
He heard a voice behind him and looked at the man through the mirror.
"So you are going then?" He asked with a sharp tone.
"Hi sweetheart," he beamed, hoping he had woken up in a better mood.
Theo ingnored his sweet talk and asked again.
Cal sighed and walked over to the bed setting down to see his lover looking at him with a serious expression. "Look. I have to. I won't be too long and Andy will be here." He reached out to stroke his cheek, but flinched away. "I have to go," he said looking at his watch, "Joe's gonna be here in twenty minutes."
"Fine fuck off then!" He buried his head under the covers.
"Theo please don't be childish, I won't be long and once I know what he wants I will call a meeting and discus it, and that includes you," he turned before he walked away having more important things on his mind than Theo's tantrums. "Have you ever considered my feelings? I get nervous too you know" He turned and walked away.
A face appeared from the marine blue duvet, poking his head up. He was right and then guilt surged through him. But before he could say goodbye he was gone.
Outside the older aged man with a white beard and long silver hair was waiting.
He said hello as Cal sat in the seat next to him, his own fear building as he had no idea who this Mr. Lorenzo was or what he wanted. Andy hadn't said a lot about him, but he trusted him or did he?
Look what happened to Theo when he thought that club manager was ok!
But he could handle himself well and any trouble, he would make sure he'd show him not to mess with him. He had done it before back in the old days, putting a man in hospital when he tried to rip him off.
Nowadays he was more placid and never needed you use any aggression, even his boyfriend could push his limits but he never laid a finger on him. But things had been tough over the two weeks but managed to keep a strong head.
Pulling away he looked up; the bedroom window was facing the side of the building, seeing a face watching down sadly. He sighed deeply and tried to forget Theo for the moment, although it felt strange him not being in his shadow.
"Afternoon!" Andrew beamed as he poked his head through the bedroom door. Theo was pressed to the window, gazing out like a damsel waiting for her prince to rescue her from the tower in some fairy tail book.
He walked closer as he had not answered him, stopping less than an inch then put his hands on each shoulder and kneaded his muscles.
"He won't be long," he soothed enjoying the touch of the bare soft skin under is fingers, the scent coming off his nape as he leaned to lightly take in the sweet lingering cologne and his manly musk from the night before.
Letting out a weak sigh he flinched and moved passed the tall man, putting on a worn T-shirt before walking out of the door and sat on the chair at the dining table. Andy had already prepared brunch and two steaming cups of coffee. Looking at it then his friend who now stood straight with a jubilant smile on his face.
"Well c'mon eat up," he then sat down and watched the other stare at the fried food, that made his stomach churn more than growl with hunger.
"This is sweet but I'm really am not hungry." He pushed the plate away, the smell made him feel sick.
"You have to eat, you look so thin and you are going to need your strength for today".
"Why what's so special about today?" He sipped the coffee that tasted great actually. Andy always could make great coffee.
"Had a message from a customer we are doing a drop." He bit into a slice of toast and winked.
"Do we have to Andy?" he played with his food, with the fork.
"Oh c'mon, we are supplying some great gear people are in demand we have it they have money," chewed and spoke with his mouth full.
"I s'pose."
"No suppose about it! It's a fact"
He peered up through his messy curls and tried to eat the sausage that half dangled on the spike. Sighed, what choice did he have?
"Good Lad, Jay Lewis's drop is in Islington at three."
He was a regular.

The long Journey was boring yes! But Joe kept him entertained with his usual shit jokes and small talk. No work as he knew it was some what prudent to avoid.
"Almost there Sir, we had good clear roads today."
The apprehension made him shuffle and wonder. What would he be like? What proposition did he have for him? It was intriguing scary but yet exciting, he loved the high adrenaline rush of the perks of this job.
There are some hidden incorporations around, some of which you never get a sniff off unless bumped into by a good chance. The majority of the times in a bad way, of course Theo had a taste of that. But then some minor businesses usually have some nasty people who like to throw their weight about due to power going to their heads, it was unlikely Mr Lorenzo was like this, even his name sounded regale.
He became at ease as he created in his mind on what he was like, maybe this wasn't all bad.
Pulling out his phone he found peace in himself, hoping he could reach out and give some to Theo.
Pressing the buttons slowly he text his lover, smiling as he hit the send resting his head back.
'It will be alright' He thought, but still not letting his guard down, he still had to be cautious.
"We are here" Joe affirmed bringing Cal out of his dream, only now did he miss the curls brushing against his cheek, the sweet innocent smile and the beautiful eyes of his boyfriend whao was so far away.
He was having a lovely moment with him in his mind, the last time they made love was so long ago, yet two weeks certainly felt like it anyway.
He sighed letting his last remembered thought of his body warmly caressing his, his soft kisses and tiny cries as he brought him to climax.
But now he had to adjust his bulging crotch and think about the next step.
It wasn't too long before he was pushed to the back of his mind for a moment as they drove through iron double gates, stony drive that seemed to go on for miles before coming to a grand Manor in the middle of nowhere.
"Jesus!" He exclaimed staring up at the building.
* * *
"Everything alright?" Andrew asked as Theo shifted up to grab his phone as it vibrated through his pocket with two single tones. Looking at it he smiled, glad that Cal hadn't forgotten him.
"Yeah think so, its Cal."
"What did he say?" He asked not taking his eyes off the road but switching a quick glance at the passenger sitting next to him.
"He is almost there now and..." He scrolled down and blushed.
"...And?"
