Zach was buried in a mountain of work. Despite the heavy workload, his day had been pretty good. But he couldn't help but feel nervous wondering what that little woman would give as a response. He sighed as he signed off a document when his door swung open.

From the corner of his eye, he was able to catch Xavier storming into his office. 'What now?' This mother and son simply can't leave him alone, he shook his head.

Xavier marched up to his brother's desk. He was already annoyed when coming here and his brother had not even spared him an acknowledging glance.

"Zach!"

"You could have called me." Zach spoke without looking up. His lips moved as he silently skimmed through the material he was reading. With his reading glasses on and his shirt sleeves rolled up, he was a sexy sight to behold.

"I would but somebody BLOCKED ME!"

"Oh."

"Oh?" Xavier chuckled, but it was a humorless chuckle. No explanation whatsoever. He took a deep breath and redirected his focus on the issue at hand. "What's this about you being gay?"

"Says who?"

"Mom! She says she heard you confess your feelings to someone."

The corners of Zach's lips lifted as he swiftly signed off another document. "I did confess to someone."

"Then what about Miss Harper? Did you get over her?"

"Of course not."

"Then why would you-"

"Voice changer."

"What? Voice- Oh! You mean it was her?" His eyes grew wide when realization finally dawned on him. Yes, it was that easy for Xavier to understand Zach. His brown orbs sparkled from excitement before he rushed to Zach's side. "You don't disappoint bro! You just had to find me such an impressive sister-in-law! So where's she? When can we meet her?"

Zach felt giddy when he heard Xavier's term of address for Amy. But his face quickly turned grim from when he heard the questions that followed.

"No. Not yet."

Although he was happy with the ongoing communication, it was nothing compared to having her beside him. It would be so much easier to sort things out in person. It was a challenge, not that he was complaining, he loved a good challenge. But he just wished they would do this in person. Oh! The things he would do to her just to convince her to accept him! Xavier failed to catch the wicked smirk that played on his brother's lips in that moment.

"Even if you haven't found her yet, at least tell Mom about it."

"No, thanks."

"Please do this for me! Mom thinks you turned out gay because I'm a womanizer so she now wants me to turn gay so you can go back to being straight!"

Even as he recounted the issue at hand, he personally could not believe that he had been pushed into that situation. It sounded ridiculous even saying it out loud. The conversation he had with his mother felt unreal. Zach had paused in his movements and twirled his chair to finally face his brother. He silently took in Xavier's colorful yet chic ensemble before he nodded to himself.

"What? What's that nod for?"

"I see where she was going with this. It's something you should think about."

Xavier's face turned ugly as he felt rage building up. "I am done with this family!"

He grunted in annoyance before storming out of the room. He was sure to kick one of the sofas in rage before going out. Zach shook his head before going back to work.

Before he knew it, night fell and he was still stuck in his office. The man had even forgotten to have dinner as he worked. He was oblivious to how worked up he left Amy. She honestly thought he would back off with her little scheme but who knew?

And her insides turned into mush when his deep voice thundered through her Bluetooth earsets. How on Earth was she supposed to keep him at arm's length when she couldn't even bring herself to stop talking to him?

She sighed in helplessness. He could do so much better than her. He deserved someone who was present and not unsure of how their future would look up. Although it fluttered her, she shouldn't encourage things. And Zach is a straight man, his response could only mean he knew who she really was which was more of a reason for her not to get involved with him.

Ajtlh@***.com: You shouldn't like me.

She started wracking her brain cooking up a nice speech full of reasons he shouldn't pursue her when he asks why; because he obviously would. His response came right away but it wasn't the question she expected.

Ahismine@***.com: Do you really not want me to like you?
