BEDAZZLED SLOWLY BY YOU

CHAPTER 4

Jaxion is taking a shower with the water in full blast. He needed it. He is a patient man, that's what he thought. But how come he is acting like a child now? It's like he is being tested how long will he last with how Good is taunting him. He wanted to believe that it's not intentional, that's it's just how that guy is but when you are in the situation he realized all reasons fly away when Good is giving him all out of this world things. His vocabulary is tested, his knowledge is put to test and his sanity is thrown into a grinder.

Right now he is thinking about what to do with Good. He is not sure what he is thinking when he dragged the guy to his unit. He is losing it. He is the boss why is he being affected by things like that.

He wore his suit and came out as dashing as ever. No one can refute that, he never allowed them to anyway.

He stopped on his track at his room's door when he saw Good holding Conan's pot as he stares at it intently. He notices that the guy always does that. He stares straight into the eye.

Jaxion's heart leaps out of his chest when Good suddenly tilted Conan's pot upside down and started shaking it.

(Poor Conan and it has much fuller hair or thorns than mine, tsk now same as Link I'm tempted to pull out those thorns)

"Stop it!." Jaxion said as he approaches Good in big steps and snatched Conan's pot out of the abuser's hand.

"What do you think will happen if you shake it like it's salt shaker?." Jaxion put the poor cactus on the highest part of his bookshelves to protect it from calamities that cause by idiotic people.

"The plant did not come out," Good said as his eyes followed the potted cactus.

"Why you want it out its pot!?." Jaxon's head is getting bigger as he listens to that reasoning.

"If it has hair underneath." Good shrugged.

Ax is speechless. What hair? Did he mean thorns? And what kind of plants it is they without roots? Is Conan suddenly a ninja? And what kind of thoughts he is thinking now?

"Are you even human?."

"Are you?." Good throwback the question.

Calm down Ax, breath in breath out...nothing good will come out from this pointless argument if you will lose it...

Jaxion stopped from his mental ramblings when he felt a tagging on his loose tie.

His gaze zoomed in on the same expressionless face that is diligently fixing up his necktie, in a slow manner... Like carefully perfecting it.

The rush of unexplainable confusion filled up his brain enabling him to come up with words to say making him frozen like a statue as Good just do it like it's a natural thing.

The random act is sending him to confusion.

Well stepped back after doing what he did not even aware of what Ax is feeling, a glint of proud flash in his eyes that disappeared fast and Jaxion wondered if he imagines it. Good nodded his head as his gaze climbed up from Jaxion's eyes. "Can I go work now?."

Is this normal?

No, of course, not

How can this bizarre thing be normal? More like a disaster...

He will have a heart attack soon...

He is too young to die...

He doesn't have last will yet...

Or a son to leave that testament to...

As Ax talked to himself he saw from the corner of his eyes the cause of all his stress inching slowly to the main door, like slowly walking sideways to where the door is.

He bit his lower lip hard when he can't help but chuckle but he refuses to make the expression on his face freeze. But it's hard when it's more than funny to see.

"You know, you only looked ridiculous with what you are doing... I have work for you and Uncle Boonmee already knows that you will be with me the whole day." Maybe all Jaxion needs to do is looked at Good in a different light. Which is a bit hard, when Good has the superpower of annoying him.

But the more that he spends time with this out-of-this-world creature, the more he wanted to get back at him. To make him stop being weird and different.

Good thought maybe this guy is telling the truth as he trails behind him silently. They end up on the 17th floor where Jaxion's office is located.

Like a lost puppy, Good is standing in the middle of the spacious office looking around with no expression can be seen on his face.

A new sense of disappointment bubbled inside Ax as he is waiting for an astonishing reaction. Just like everyone else that set foot inside his office. Because he can proudly say that it is the best.

Why are you fishing for a compliment?

A part of Jaxion's brain asked him.

Yeah, why is he waiting for a compliment?

Then Good met Jaxion's eyes that are still on him. Those sleepy eyes that are unwavering all the time are looking at Ax unblinkingly.

"Stop looking at me like that! It's creepy." Jaxion said the moment he can't stand the stare down anymore.

Good tilted his head to the side but he did not say anything.

"Sit anywhere there, I will just have to do something then wait for my instructions," Jaxion said as he started looking at the papers that were stocked up earlier by his secretary before he came.

"I'm bored," Good said. He is not moving from where he is standing not worried about Jaxion's patience at all.

"I said wait for my instruction," Jaxion said with his eyes still focus on what he is reading.

He is not sure what to do with Good now that he is here and by doing his work he is also buying time.

They were in silence for quite a while with Jaxion seriously reading and signing. Once in a while, he will glance at Good and the other did not even once throw him a look as he is now on his phone playing.

Then suddenly the door of his office slammed open with a bang.

"Hello, hello, the hottest human being is here to grace your boring day with my handsomeness as good luck." The signal number three typhoon named Link suddenly materialized himself on Jaxion's almost peaceful abode.

"Why are you here this early?." Ax asked his friend that is looming in front of him like the i***t that he is.

"I just told you why but you didn't listen and I'm too lazy to repeat myself." Link grins widely.

"And you want me to agree with that bullshit?." Ax raised an eyebrow.

"Do you agree then?."

"You want me to answer that?."

"No, no need, I can tell what you are going to say."

"Which is?."

"I'm too hot and you want to marry me."

A flying pen hits Link on his forehead without mercy while Jaxion goes back to what he is doing like it was nothing.

"You need to get laid dude, your getting violent every single day... That's a bad sign I'm telling you." Link clicked his tongue as if he is seriously believing the s**t that he is saying.

"Maybe you need some hobby aside from pestering me every single day." Ax throws back.

"Nah, I don't need to... Pestering you is amusing enough." Link turns to sit on the couch that is inside the office when he got startled by another person's presence in the room that he did not notice at all.

Link inch back near Jaxion with his eyes trained at Good.

"Bro, you realize yet that there's a guy inside your office?."

Ax glances at Good then back to his work. "I know."

Link stared at Jaxion's head as he can't believe that his friend said that nonchalantly.

"Did that guy hit you in the head and made you forget that you are too OCD that you hate anyone you did not allow inside your office?."

"And you are even aware that I'm working right now?." Jaxion sighed.

Link has a point. He hated to let just anyone inside his place but he let Good inside and now that he is thinking he realized that he is impulsive.

Good felt the eyes that looking at him making him lookup. The lolly that he is holding is pressed against his lips making the visual as of those innocent pictures.

Jaxion can't explain why he found himself staring at that. He hurriedly looked away not giving Link any more ammunition.

Link became silent as he juggles his gaze from Jaxion to Good and vice versa.

"So is he the one?."

"What the one?."

"The one... The one that made you lose your cool, the one who is testing your patience, the one you fall in..."

"Continue that and you will find yourself flying out this building."

"Violence, this violence side of you is coming from something." Link leaves Jaxion's side as he struts his way to where Good is sitting.

"I'm Link, your boyfriend's best friend." Link said while offering a handshake but Good only looked at his hand not moving at all to accept it.

"Is he mute and deaf?" Link asked Jaxion.

Ax laughed inside his head as he enjoys Link's confusion.

Link then started signing which is flailing his hands around like an i***t that he is.

And still Good just goes back to his phone.

Link felt offended by that as he is used to getting what he wants.

"I'm telling you, you have to get my favor if you wanted to stay with my friend over there." Link continues not giving up too easily.

"You are noisy," Good said making Link's jaw drop on the floor as he loses of words.

Jaxion cannot hold himself anymore as he burst into laughter. If he is not the subject of Good's brutality, it is too much fun to watch. Link that nobody ever ignores gets what he deserved. Jaxion is tempted to celebrate.

"I believe you now, I never find anyone as peculiar as him... He is rare, now I know why you like him."

"Where did you even get that idea that I like him?." Jaxion is getting fed up with how Link is insisting that he likes Good.

Who would like a guy that ignores everything he says? Regards him as air, pretended he is nobody, and just straight-up weird?

Not him!

"Before anything else, Ax the reason I'm here is that Mr. Tanaka is waiting for you at the lobby." Link suddenly remembered why he is at Jax's office.

"You've been here for more than ten minutes and you just remembered that."

"I find many interesting things than Mr. Tanaka and that's my third weakness."

"I'm not even gonna ask what's the first and the second." Jaxion raises from his swivel chair to meet one of the board members of his company.

"Good, wait here... I'll be right back to give you instruction on what you will be doing today."

"Are you sure it's safe to leave him here alone?." Link asked Jaxion in a supposed whisper but Ax can tell that even his secretary outside can hear him.

"You can stay here if you want to then... I'm sure Good will welcome your company with open arms." Jaxion walked out of his office eating to leave Link with Good.

"Nah, I'm okay... I don't think we will click anyway." Link reasoned out as he gets out of the room fast.

Jaxion has been out for almost two hours and Good is bored and hungry. He checked the time and saw that it was almost lunchtime. Thinking if he should eat inside Jaxion's office, he shrugged on that.

He takes out his lunch and started eating anyway, maybe he can slip away from thereafter because there is no sign of that man.

But Good felt sleepy after finishing his food. He is not working why is he even here?

Jaxion declines the lunch invitation of Mr. Tanaka as he goes back to his office right after.

He stopped at his track when he saw Good with his eyes closed.

Is he sleeping?



As Jaxion stands there like a creepy stalker Good suddenly opens his eyes.

He blinks once, twice as his eyes are holding on to Ax's gaze.

"Can I go now?."

"Huh?." Jaxion asked stupidly.

"Back to work."

"You are at work."

"No."

"Yes."

"My pregnant wife is waiting for me at home."

Jaxion paused as he stared at Good but he realized the absurdity of that statement right away.

"Shut up! Let's go... We are eating out!."

"It's snowing outside."

How to say no, is what's swimming inside Good's head but instead, that's what came out of his mouth.

"We are in the tropical country!."

"Typhoon."

"It's summer."

"Tidal wave..." Jaxion covered Good's mouth with his hand to stop all the nonsense that coming out from there and drag the guy out. He should have listened up to Boomee.

But he is...stupid.
