Chapter 5

Morning came much too quickly for Tyler.  When he'd awoken, he found
himself still wrapped in Christian's arms.  Tyler wanted to lye in
Christian's arms all day but he knew that wasn't possible.  Eventually they
will have to get up and get ready for work.  Tyler sighed and started to
drift back to sleep before he heard the voice that always made him smile.

"Good morning sexy.  Did you sleep well?" Christian asked, kissing Tyler on
the cheek.

"Mmmm, I slept like a baby." Tyler replied letting out a slow deep breath.
He snuggled more into Christian arms.  Tyler loves how those arms feel
around him when their holding him close.

"Well baby." Christian giggled.  He loves how Tyler feels so relax in his
arms.  Tyler is strong but every once in a while he needs someone to lean
on through the rough times as does anyone else.  Christian wonders if he
could give Tyler that comfort and strength. "We have to go to work now.
It's still a work day, you know."

"I don't want to!  I want to relax in your arms." Tyler replied childishly
before sinking back further into Christian's arms.  He was making no effort
to get up.

Christian giggled at how childish Tyler sounded and said through the
giggles. "We can do that all day on our days off next week."

A smile came upon Tyler's face and they got up and took a quick shower.
Alright!  It was a long shower.  They couldn't resist playing with certain
appendences.  After their shower, they went down for breakfast.  They
decided that an omelet and toast will do.  While Christian was cutting the
mushrooms, green peppers, onions, etc... they would need for the omelet,
Tyler started on the toast and coffee.  Before they sat down to eat,
Christian went to get the paper and Tyler turned on the television to hear
the news broadcast.

On the other side of the house, Carlos and Mark had just stepped out of the
shower after a very satisfying interloop, and now were getting dress.  They
were glad it was Friday although they didn't know if Tyler had any plans
for the weekend or not.  After dressing, they headed downstairs to have
breakfast.

While having a small breakfast, which consisted of bacon, eggs, and toast,
along with orange juice and coffee to drink, they discussed what to do over
the weekend and decided to catch a movie if Tyler didn't have any business
to take care of.  Carlos and Mark would do anything for Tyler.  It was
Tyler that allowed them to stay together.  Both of their skills are what
Tyler needed to lead his security force.  Other clients only needed the
skills of one man and not the other and that made it hard for Carlos and
Mark to be together.

Back in the front of the house, Christian had just returned from getting
the papers and sat down at the table.  While reading the papers, an article
caught his eye.  He became very quiet which didn't go unnoticed by Tyler.
It made Tyler wonder what was bothering him.

"Is something wrong babe?" Tyler asked.  He can sense the tension in the
air and that tension made him worried.  He could feel his weekend about to
take a turn for the worse.

"No, everything's fine."  Christian responded, trying to hide his worry
voice.  Christian knows that the article in the paper will upset Tyler and
he doesn't want Tyler's morning or weekend for that matter, starting off
badly.

"Tell me Chris?  I can tell something is bothering you." Tyler asked again.
Tyler knows what ever is bothering Christian is something Christian doesn't
want Tyler to worry about.  Before Christian could say anything, a segment
came on television that caught Tyler's attention.

"A young model name Cindy Campbell contacted us yesterday stating that
Tyler Jackson, Model and owner of Jackson Agency made sexual advances
towards her.  I had a chance to speak with her for an interview on it
yesterday."

Then the interview with Cindy Campbell came on.

"I went in for an audition with Jackson Agency.  When I said I have nothing
against homosexuals, but I can't have homosexuals parading around me due to
a personal matter, he became very demanding and dominating.  He told me
that I wouldn't get my modeling contract unless I perform a sexual activity
on him."

"That must have come as a surprise.  What did you say after he said that?"
the reporter asked.  The answered to the question made Tyler more
infuriated.

"I told him I don't do business that way." Cindy replied, trying to turn
the tables on Tyler to make Tyler look like a sexual predator. "I try to
keep my professional and personal life separate.  When I sign with an
agency, it will be on my skills and talents alone.  Not by me sleeping my
way to the top."

"How did he respond to that?  Harassments like that can do some major
damage to his agency and reputation.  Not to mention all the legal
ramifications he would bring upon himself."

"He told me that he does.  He said, "No sex, no contract."  I was so
shocked; I walked out of his office angry.  Now my dreams of being a model
are crush because I wouldn't sleep with the owner."

"That's terrible; I hope you get the help you need.  Your dreams shouldn't
have to be destroyed because of some despicable action." He just assumed
the interviewee was being truthful without checking the story out
first. "People need to know not to use their position of power to harass
innocent people."

"I have no personal issues with Tyler Jackson.  I can forgive Mr. Jackson
If he's promise to keep the homosexuals away from me and give me the
contract I deserve." Cindy was trying to lay the innocent act on pretty
thick now.

By the time the interview was over, Tyler's face was crimson from anger.
He was ready to murder.  This wasn't the way Tyler expected his Friday to
begin.  Tyler couldn't believe some people will seek so low to ruin people
businesses and lives because of their sexual orientation just to get what
they want.

"I'm going to kill that bitch!" Tyler shouted as he slammed his hand on the
table in rage, fire burning in his eyes.

"Who's Cindy Campbell?" Christian asked.  Christian has no idea as to who
Cindy Campbell is because Tyler never mentioned the person name of whom he
was speaking of the night before.

"She's the model I was telling you about last night.  She doesn't like
homosexuals, so she wants me to let all my homosexuals clients go and I
refused to do it."

"What are you going to do?" Christian asked next.  Tyler won't let anyone
or anything destroy his corporation and Christian knows it.

"I don't know yet, but I'm not going to let her destroyed something I work
so hard to build." Tyler replied bitterly. "She wants to play dirty, fine,
let her learn from the master.  I modeled and observed the agents too long
to learn how to run my own agency.  I be damn if she ruins all that." He
said angrily.

Christian can see Tyler's face turning red from anger and that's not the
kind of red Christian likes seeing in Tyler's face. "Calm down baby, it'll
be all right.  Come on, lets clear up and I'll drive you to the office."
Christian said, trying to calm Tyler down.

So they cleared up and headed out.  Before leaving, Tyler informed Carlos
and Mark that Christian was driving him to work.  When Tyler got to the
office, Ms. Green already had a dozen messages from reporters wanting an
interview.  Before walking into his office, Tyler received his messages and
announced to his secretary.

"Ms. Green, please contact all the staff and clients and have them in the
conference room by 11:30 am.  That includes you too Ms. Green."

"Yes sir.  I'll get right on it."  Janet answered.  Then she gave a nervous
smile to Christian and said. "Hello Christian.  How are you?"

Christian returned the greeting. "Hello Janet, I'm fine.  How are you?"
Seeing the worry look on her face Christian added. "Don't worry; I'll take
care of him." He smiled.

She smiled back and nodded.  Janet always can tell when Tyler is upset
because he always uses her formal name rather than her informal name.
After speaking with Mrs. Green, Christian followed Tyler into his office.
Tyler slammed his bag on his desk, and then stared out the window.
Christian grabbed Tyler's chair from his desk, pulled Tyler onto his lap,
and wrapped his arms around him.

"You not worried, are you?"  Christian asked Tyler.

"No, I'm just upset that I respecting people and people respecting me can
make this happen." Tyler responded.  Christian's arms were doing what they
are made for, relaxing Tyler in their embrace.

"Look Ty, you did nothing wrong.  You just stood up for what you felt was
right."

"Yeah, and it might cause me my agency.  What if no one wants to work for
me anymore?  What if I can't sign anyone else because of all this
publicity?" Tyler asked worriedly.  This situation can ruin Tyler's whole
agency and what Tyler had planned.

"You'll be all right.  I haven't seen anything you couldn't handle yet."
Christian replied confidently. "We'll get through this together.  I'm
always here for you in any way you need me."

Those soothing words comforted Tyler. "Thank you!" He replied warmly. "You
better get to work.  I'll call you after my meeting with the news."

"That's kind of hard to do with a sexy gorgeous guy sitting on my lap."
Christian giggled but he really didn't want to let Tyler go.  Tyler needed
his support and Christian intended to give Tyler all the support he needs.

Tyler laughed and they got off the chair.  Christian gave Tyler one long
kiss and two short ones.  "I need one more kiss."  Christian said before
kissing Tyler again.  "Just one more kiss." He said before giving a long
one this time.  Christian just can't get enough of those lips. "Chris, your
not going to die, is you?"  Tyler asked after breaking the kiss.

"No, why would you think that?" Christian said.  Shocked that Tyler would
ask that question.  He wonders if Tyler thinks that every time Christian
goes to work.

"That's good, because if you die, I'll kill you!" Tyler said seriously
although he didn't know how that was actually possible.  He just knows that
he can't live without his Chris.

Christian turned to leave and Tyler slapped him on the butt.

"I just may have you do that, the next time you pound it." Christian said
with a sexy grin. A grin that's bright enough to light up the world.  Tyler
wishes he could see that sexy grin.

"Just as long as I can receive the same treatment." Tyler retorted with a
smile and a wink.  Christian always knew how to make Tyler smile.  If
Christian had his way, Tyler would be smiling all the time.

Christian giggled before replying. "Talk to you later sexy."

"I'm looking forward to it hot stuff.  I hope you'll be thinking about me
throughout the day." Christian told him he always does when Tyler's not
around.

In the lobby, Carlos and Mark had just sat down when Tyler and Christian
walked into Tyler's office.  They needed to talk with Tyler about adopting
a child.  The first thing they needed to know was the legal process in
doing it.  Tyler has a great law firm representing him so Carlos and Mark
knew he would be the best place to start.

When Christian told Janet not to worry he'll take care of Tyler, it had
Mark and Carlos worrying as to what was going on.  As soon as Christian
closed the office door, Carlos turned to Janet. "Hello Janet.  How are
you?"  When Janet said hello and asked how they were doing, Carlos said
fine and got back to his question he wanted to ask. "Okay Janet, what's
going on?  Why is Tyler so upset?"

Janet looked at them, not sure as what to do.  Janet knows in their own way
Carlos and Mark would do anything to see Tyler happy also.  She knows if
they give her their word not to say anything to Tyler, She could prepare
them as to trouble that may be coming Tyler's way.

"I want your word you won't say anything to Tyler until He tells you about
it." Janet said seriously.  Carlos and Mark both said they wouldn't and
Janet took their word for it. "Christian came to see Tyler at lunchtime
yesterday." The guys nodded in understanding then Janet continued. "Well,
this visit wasn't a short visit.  While they were in there doing only your
imagination can conjure up, a client came in for her appointment."

Janet smiled at this point which made the two guys smile also.  Their
imagination went through several wild scenarios to what went on in Tyler's
office. "Toward the end of the visit, Tyler and Christian got louder than
usual.  As Christian was leaving, he winked at the client which confused
her even more." By now all three was laughing but the laughter didn't last
long as Janet went on.

"When the client met with Tyler everything went well until the client
brought up Christian.  That's when all hell broke loose.  She refused to
sign until Tyler let his entire homosexual Clients go.  Tyler told her no
one runs his business but him.

When Tyler didn't submit to her condition, it made her even angrier but
Tyler stood his grounds.  As she was leaving, I told her she made a big
mistake because she wasn't going to find a bigger agency than Jackson
Agency.  Before she stormed out she swore to ruin Jackson Agency.  This
morning there was a news segment with her claiming that Tyler sexually
harassed her during her appointment."

Toward the end of the story, Janet was nearly in tears.  Carlos and Mark
couldn't believe what they were hearing.  They wondered why so many people
were trying to destroy Tyler but always ended up failing in the
process. "Don't worry Janet.  We won't let anything happen to Tyler.  You
have our word on that." Mark said convincively.  It actually made Janet
feel better.

When Christian came out of Tyler's office, he handed Janet his card. "Here
is my business card Janet.  Please call me if Tyler needs me for anything,
and I mean anything."

"I will Christian." Janet replied. "I don't think he's going to ask for any
help but I'll call you if he needs a shoulder to cry on.  You know Tyler;
he always has to be the strong one.  He can't burden anyone with any of his
troubles."

Christian nodded his head softly.  He knows that all to well.  Christian
was trying to stay strong for Tyler but was finding it difficult.  His
Tyler was not happy and that made Christian unhappy too. "Yeah, I
know. He's my rock.  I wish I was as strong as him." Christian voice was
cracking.  The look on Christian's face and the sound in his voice made
Carlos and Mark worry about how bad this could get for Tyler.

Christian knew he had to leave before he fell apart.  He didn't know the
two guys in the lobby was Tyler's security.  Christian thought they were
clients of Tyler's and didn't want more trouble to be added on for
Tyler. "Take care of him for me Janet." Christian said before putting on a
smile for the two guys and walking out the office.

Noticing the mood that Christian and Tyler were in, made Carlos and Mark
rethink their decision on talking about their situation with Tyler. "Let's
go see Tyler." Mark said to Carlos and Carlos nodded. "Remember we promised
not to say anything until Tyler tells us about this." Mark restated and
Carlos nodded again before they knocked on Tyler's door.

On his way to the mall, Christian thought about what he could do to help
Tyler.  Christian knows this scandal is really worrying Tyler because Tyler
didn't sleep well last night.  The only thing that calmed Tyler down was
Christian telling Tyler that he was safe in Christian arms and Christian
would protect him.

By the time Christian got to the mall, nothing came to mind as how to help
Tyler.  He knew Tyler would think of something because Tyler always does.
He'll just have to be there for him when Tyler sets his plan into motion to
squash the scandal.

Christian put that aside for now in order to take care of business but
Tyler never left his mind.  When he got to the leasing office, Christian
informed the secretary he was there to sign the lease for his new store.
The secretary told Christian to have a seat and she buzzed the leasing
manager's office of Christian's arrival.

The manager came out and greeted Christian warmly. "Mr. Michaels, how are
you today sir?"  Christian returned the greeting while shaking the offered
hand. "Follow me to my office and we'll get the paper work taking care of."

"Sure." Christian replied as the two walked to the manager's office in
silence.  Christian had too much on his mind to engage in conversation.
His thoughts were on Tyler and what he could do to make Tyler happy and
smile again.

"Have a seat Mr. Michaels while I pull up the lease." The manager walked
behind her desk.  She pulled a file from her desk and handed it to
Christian. "Here's the lease we agreed on.  I'm sure you want to read it
before signing."

Yes ma'am." He read over the lease and saw that everything was in
order. "Yes.  Everything looks fine." Christian confirmed before signing
the lease.  After signing the lease, he wrote a check to cover the first
six months rent.  Once everything was taken care of, Christian was handed
the keys to his new store.  He wished the lady a good day and headed to his
store on Lakeshore Drive.  He needed to order some items and make fliers to
advertise the new store for new employees and customers.

After talking with Carlos and Mark, Tyler sat down to get some work done
before the meeting.  When 11:30 am arrived, Tyler went to the conference
room to explain the scandals.  When Tyler walked into the conference room,
he was worried but confident.

"May I have your attention please?" Tyler asked and waited for the crowd to
quiet down. "Thank you." Once everyone had calmed down, Tyler
continued. "Now I know you have seen the news or read the papers.  I want
you to know that never happened!  I never told Cindy Campbell that she
couldn't have a contract with my agency unless she's sleeps with me.  All
of that were lies.  She knows that there are some homosexuals working for
me and I didn't obey to her commands to let them go.  I won't let anyone
dictate how I run my business." Tyler stopped for a moment to take a couple
of deep breaths to calm his anger before continuing.  He didn't want to
take his anger out on the wrong person.  "Some of you already know, I may
get a little flirtation but have never taken it further.  This lady is
playing dirty but now she's playing with the dirtiest player around.  I
will clear my good name and business but if you think you can't hang in
there with me until then, I'll understand.  You can let me know now or make
an appointment to see me in my office and discuss it then."

"Why is she doing this?" someone in the crowd asked.

"My guess is that she couldn't find a better agency then Jackson Agency and
now she wants to come back without apologizing.  She only accused the
agency, not the corporation." Tyler replied.  "She also doesn't like
homosexuals, so she's trying to kill two birds with one stone.  Get a
modeling contract and clear out all the homosexuals."

"I think I can speak for everyone when I say, we'll stay with you Tyler.
You're a good man and a good boss."  Nicholas Johnson said as he looked
around the room and seeing everyone in agreement with him. "The public will
realize that everything she's saying is just bull shit!"

"Thank you everyone." Tyler smiled for their loyalty. "That's means a lot
to me.  I don't know how long this scandal is going to last but I will put
an end to it ASAP and continue business as usual."  Tyler took a brief
pause before asking his favor. "Now, many of you may have heard or seen my
friend Chris in my office.  What ever happens, can you please leave him out
of it?"

"Sure Tyler.  No problem." Ms. Green said.  She didn't want Tyler unhappy
either.  If she could, Janet would strangle Cindy Campbell with her bare
hands.

"Thank you.  Now everyone get back to work."

Mean while, Carlos and Mark was at the dealership having the oil change in
the SUV.  While that was being done, they walked around the car lot looking
for a new truck for Tyler when the general manager came over. "Hi guys.
Can I help you with anything?" asked Mr. Bishop, the general manager.

"Hello Mr. Bishop." The guys said in unison. "Tyler's looking for a new
truck.  What can you tell me about this one?" Carlos asked, pointing to a
black truck.

As Mr. Bishop explained the features of the vehicle, he took the
opportunity to ask how Tyler was coping with the accusations. "He's upset,
but will no doubt pull through." Mark answered. "Knowing Tyler, He'll fight
back and come out on top."

"I'm sure he will." Mr. Bishop responded. "You don't become successful as
Tyler without fighting harder than your enemy.  Let me show you another
vehicle similar to this one but in silver.  You might like it better."

The three men moved to the other vehicle, continuing their conversation.
The only difference between the two trucks was the color, luggage rack, and
sunroof that the first truck didn't have.  Both trucks were of the same
model. "Let me discuss it with Tyler, and then I'll give you a decision."
Carlos told the manager.  Carlos has a better intake on automobiles so
Tyler leaves the care of the vehicles up to him.

"Okay.  Just tell me which one you want and I'll take care of the paper
work and upgrading." The general manager replied.  The three men walk back
to the building where the SUB was sitting.  The fan belt needed to be
change so that was taken care of also.  Mark and Carlos thanked the
mechanics and Mr. Bishop for their time before heading to their appointment
then Tyler's office.

Back at the corporation, Tyler made his way back to his office.  He needed
to do some thinking.  On his way back, Tyler ran into Brian Simms.  Brian
is Janet Green (Tyler's secretary) boyfriend.

"Hey Tyler.  Have you seen Janet anywhere?" Brian asked when Tyler stepped
into the elevator. I'd been looking, but I can't find her."

"She's in the conference room Brian.  I just had an emergency meeting with
everyone."

"Was it about those allegations that were on the news?" Brian asked and
Tyler nodded. "Don't worry about it man, I know all that is bull shit.
Your to nice and smart of a guy to conduct your business that way."

"Unfortunately that's irrelevant to the public Brian.  She's a problem now,
and I have to take care of it before it ruins my business."

When they got to Tyler's office, Tyler went inside while Brian waited for
Ms. Green.  Tyler started to work on some reports when he got an idea on
how to handle the situation involving Cindy Campbell.

He will need Christian's help, so Tyler got out his cell phone and walkie
talkie Christian.

Christian was going over the inventory for the new store when he heard a
familiar voice. "Hey sexy, are you there?"  Christian scrambled to get his
phone.  He needed to hear that happy voice!  Even though it's not as happy
as Christian wants it to be, it's a little happier than it was earlier.

"Hey baby, what's up?"  Chris replied a minute later.  He had to put his
calmness in check first.  Tyler needs Christian to be strong for him and
Christian knows that and is really determined to do just that.

"I have a plan to clear this mess up.  Can you pick me up from the office
tomorrow?  I need your help at the electronic store."

"Oooohh baby, you got me interested now.  What's the plan and what are we
getting at the electronic store?" Christian asked.  He hopes what ever it
is that Tyler needs from the electronic store would be beneficial to them
both.

"I can't tell you that now, I'll explain everything tomorrow." Tyler said a
little mysteriously.  In three days time his problem will be over, or so he
hopes.

What ever Tyler has planned, Christian knew it would be good. "Okay, see
you tomorrow handsome." Christian said.  He can't think of anything to do
to help Tyler, so he'll do what ever Tyler needs him to do.

"Okay gorgeous." Tyler said smiling.  If things go as planned, Tyler's
smile will be bigger by the time he and Christian go on vacation.

The rest of the day went well for everyone.  Christian and Tyler were able
to catch up on their work, Carlos and Mark was able to get some information
they needed and relax for the rest of the day.

Later that night, Christian and Tyler talked in general over the phone.
Christian wanted to keep Tyler's mind off the scandals.  Tyler on the other
hand, wanted Christian to smile.  Tyler needed that smile to brighten up
his dark day.  The statement that Tyler told Carlos and Mark the first time
he mention Christian rang true. "Close your eyes and listen to the sound of
their voice.  You can always see a person smile by the sound of their
voice."  That's exactly why Tyler needs to have Christian smile.  He needs
his little rays of sunshine to carry him through the darkness to the other
side.

By the time Tyler and Christian finished their conversation they both were
in better moods than before.  They said I love you and wished each other
pleasant dreams before hanging up.  Both fell into a blissful sleep and
didn't wake until morning.

The next morning, Tyler was more like himself than the day before.  It was
even noticed by Carlos and Mark.  After breakfast, Carlos and Mark dropped
Tyler off at his office before heading to the movies.  On the way, Tyler
told them of his plan for Cindy Campbell which made Carlos and Mark laugh
as to how devious Tyler can be.

After they dropped off Tyler at the office, they headed for the movies at
the mall.  They didn't know what to see so they decided to choose when they
get there.  Since Christian is picking up Tyler from the office, they had
the whole day to do anything they want.

When Tyler got to his office he called his attorney Tyesheonna Houston.  He
explained to her about the scandals which she already heard about.  A
scandal involving a major celebrity like Tyler makes headlines all over the
country.  Tyler told her of his plan and the documents he needs to set it
up. "I need them by the end of tomorrow Tye.  When it's time for the next
step, I'll call you."

"Okay Ty.  I'll e-mail them to you." Tyesheonna replied.  Although she
hopes this situation doesn't get out of hand. "Let me know when you need me
in Malibu and I'll clear my schedule."

"I will.  Say hi to David and the rug rats for me.  Love you Pooh!" Tyler
said, using his nick name for Tyesheonna.

"Love you too Superman!" Tyesheonna responded, using her nick name for
Tyler.

Carlos and Mark was walking out of the movie theater toward the food course
when off to the side, a sign caught their attention.  It stated that a new
store called Lucky Shops was opening soon.  Carlos and Mark couldn't
remember where they had heard the name of that store before, but they know
it sounds familiar.

They would ask Tyler about it later.  For now, they headed to Burger King
for lunch in the food course.  Once they received their meals and found a
table, they sat down to eat.  Moments later, a security guard came up to
them. "Excuse me gentlemen, I'd been informed by several customers that
you're carrying weapons."

The two guys looked at each other than at the guard.  It was Mark that
spoke for the two of them. "Yes sir we do, and we have licenses to carry
them."  They handed the licenses to the security guard. "We're private
security guards for an important person."  The guard checked the licenses
over carefully before handing them back to the guys.

The guard nodded.  He knew they wouldn't reveal who their employer was
because private security doesn't divulge their employer's name when it's
nonbusiness related. "Okay, they both look valid." The guard said. "It's
illegal to carry weapons so I had to check you out."

"We understand.  I'm glad there are dedicated officers like you to keep the
public safe." Carlos said.  AS the guard walked away, the guys went back to
eating.  After eating, Carlos and Mark browsed some of the clothing stores.
Finding nothing that interests them, they headed for the car and home.

That Saturday afternoon, Christian picked Tyler up from the office where
Tyler was working alone.  They went to get something to eat at Italian
Surprise and then to Sam's electronics' store.  On the way Tyler explained
his plan to Christian.

"I'll help you all the way, but I don't know if it will work."  Christian
said to Tyler.

"Oh, it will work, and the best part is, it's so simple, she won't even see
it coming." Tyler replied with a smile of assurance.

They got what they needed and set it all up in Tyler's office.  "She'll be
here on Monday at 4 pm."  Tyler said as they tested everything to make sure
the equipment works.  "The papers will be on my desk by Monday morning.  I
made sure of that."

"You are the dirtiest player in the book!" Christian said with a smile.  He
could see the happy Tyler coming back and that made Christian happy too.

"Like you said the night we met.  I'm the best!" Tyler said
laughing. Tyler's laugh was so infective that Christian couldn't help but
to laugh also.  It's the kind of laugh that makes everyone want to laugh
when you hear it.

"Come on, let me take you home.  I have an early day tomorrow."

"Sure, just let me grabbed my bag."

Tyler grabbed his bag and they headed to Tyler's house.  When they got
there, Christian walked Tyler to the door and said.

"I'll pick you up from the office on Monday.  I get off at 5 pm."

"Okay, she should be gone by then and I should be ready."

Christian kissed Tyler good night before driving away.  Tyler went inside,
showered, and went to bed but it took him a while to fall asleep.  He
misses the warmth and safety of Christian arms. "Good night baby." Tyler
said, hoping that some how Christian could hear him.

When Christian got home, he found his roommate still awake and sitting on
the sofa.  Christian sat on the sofa with him and they chatted about
mindless thing.  Christian was waiting for Travis to bring up the topic of
Tyler as Christian knew he would.  Finally Travis brought the topic
up. "What are you going to do about the scandals?"

Christian stared at Travis with a helpless look. "I don't know what I can
do except support him through it all."  Travis never seen the look
Christian has on his face before.  It was a look of weakness.  He wonders
if Christian could handle it. "I have to be strong for him.  He needs me to
be strong for him.  This is going to be a messy battle.  I'm not sure how
far Cindy Campbell will go."

"Well, what ever happens, I'm sure Tyler can come out on top." Travis said
with sympathy. "You don't become a successful model and entrepreneur like
Tyler without someone trying to knock you off the top of the mountain."

Christian nodded in agreement. "I just want him happy.  When he smiles, it
just brightens up your day; it makes you want to do anything just to see
him smile."

Travis couldn't help but laugh. "Man!  You are so in love!"  Christian just
nodded with a smile on his face and a twinkle in his eyes. "I'm happy for
you both."

"Thanks bro.  I hope you find happiness too, instead of the person you're
with now.  You deserve it." Christian told his best friend before letting
out a yarn. "I'm going to bed now.  Good night."

"Good night bro." Travis replied as Christian headed for his room.  Travis
really didn't want to talk about his relationship.  He knows Christian is
right and on several occasions thought about ending his relationship, but
never did.  A few minutes after Christian had gone to bed, Travis headed
for bed himself.

Christian stripped off his clothes and climbed into bed. "Good night baby."
He whispered before falling asleep as though Tyler was in bed with him.

To Be Continued...

Writer's corner:

Welcome back one and all to another chapter of Best Friends.  I hope you
enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I had writing it. Now let's get to
the summary of this chapter.

In this chapter we found out what Cindy Campbell's plan is for Tyler.  She
tried to use the media to get her modeling contract and force Tyler to
submit to her demands.  I don't think that's going to happen.  What do you
think?

Christian is strong but Tyler is stronger.  He'd proved it in the past and
will prove it in the future.  I wonder what Tyler had been through and what
he will go through.  Only time can tell.

Carlos and Mark's morning was relaxing but had an appointment in the
afternoon.  What do you think the appointment was about?  What vehicle
would you like for Tyler to buy?

Tyler gathered all his employees and clients in the conference room to make
it clear the accusations were false.  In the entertainment business bad
publicity can ruin your career and business.  I tried to interpret that in
this chapter.  How did I do?

Tyler has a good group of friends and employees around him.  That's what
Tyler's going to need to get through this scandal.

A new character was introduced in this chapter.  Who is Tyesheonna Houston
and how does Tyler know her?  To find that out, you will have to read the
future chapters.

Finally we come to the ending.  What do you think Christian should do to
support Tyler?  What would you like for him to do?

Who is Travis involved with?  Why is this person such a mystery?

More plots are going to open.  Stick around and enjoy!  There are many
things going on and much more to come.  Keep reading the future chapters
and let me know how I'm doing.  I look forward to hearing your comments and
suggestions.  You can reach me at {romeo.jacobmillertex@gmail.com} thanks.
