Chapter 2 - Making A New Friend

There was Mitch, standing with his shirt off. I stopped dead in my
tracks. He had the most beautiful sculpted chest and abs I had ever
seen. He had perfect brown dime sized nipples, and right between his pecs
was a hairy trail that no doubt led to the stuff dreams are made of. He
said. "Sorry about that I spilled coffee on my shirt right before you came
in. I was in the middle of changing into a clean fresh one when I heard
your knock. I'm sorry about flashing you." He grinned. Me still being in a
trance looking at this man god standing in front of me finally comprehended
what he said and then replied nervously "It's ok, I understand. So what did
you want to talk to me about?" I asked trying to keep my composure. He told
me to come have a seat in front of his desk.

He then proceeded to lean back on the front of his desk while he finished
buttoning his shirt.  He said "Well Tony, I just wanted to talk with you
about what we would be focusing on as far as cases here at the office. I
deal with the bulk of the workers compensation claims that come through the
doors. This particular area of law can be quite paper work intensive, so
it's going to require you being very thorough and attentive to detail. Is
that something you can handle? He asked. I said "Well Mr. Brown..." He
interrupted "Call me Mitch." I stammered "Um ok, Mitch. Well I feel I'm
more then up to the job. I'm a very organized person; in fact it's kind of
a passion of mine. Some people might call it OCD but me I just like for
everything to have its place." I replied. He then said as he stood to
adjust his shirt and tie "Good. Well I believe you and I will get along
just fine then. Here are some files I want you to go over for review
tomorrow morning." He said as he handed a stack of file from his side desk.

He continued "Please be sure to point out any abnormalities that you see in
the files that might point out any negligence on the part of either the
client or the company involved."  I replied "Yes sir, I'll get right on it"
as I got up to leave the office.

Before I could reach the door a pretty and very pregnant blonde woman
walked through the door. She gave me a look of disgust then proceeded to
approach Mitch. "Hello Mitchell, I thought you were meeting me downstairs,
you know I have an OB appointment. You know how I hate waiting." She said
with a slightest bit of sarcasm and sweetness. I could tell Mitch was
slightly annoyed because he had a look of aggravation on his face before he
replied "Give me 5 minutes sweetheart, I have to get Tony situated. By the
way, Tony this Rebecca my wife." He said which hit me like a ton of bricks.

I knew he was straight but I don't want confirmation so quickly. He
continued with that killer smile on his face, as he pointed to Rebecca's
stomach "and these are my two little guys. We haven't come up with names
yet for them." I replied with a slight grin "Well it's nice to meet you
Rebecca. And you too boys". Rebecca looked again with an even more
disgusted look and curtly said "Pleasure." And then sat heavily down in the
chair. Mitch looked at her rolled his eyes, and then looked at me
apologetically and said "Tony I will more than likely be gone for the
better part of the rest of the day. Just look over those files for me and
we will go over them tomorrow. Be sure to check your e-mail throughout the
day, I will be communicating with you through there jus to check on
status. If you have any questions you can ask my dad he's actually right
next door to my office. Peak your head in before you head back down to your
office." He said. I replied "OK Mitch, I'm on it."

As I left the office. Before I left I told Rebecca goodbye and nice meeting
her again, and she didn't even acknowledge me. As I closed the door I heard
Mitch say "Why are you being so spoiled?"

I poked my head into Mitch's dad's office. He again warmly welcomed me to
the firm, and told me about all the good things that he heard about me from
Dr. Peters. Apparently Dr. Peters and Mr. Brown went to law school together
at Columbia University. They both practiced law at different firms, before
Mr. Brown started the firm he's in now with another law school buddy. He
told me not to hesitate to ask any questions, and that his door was always
open. He apparently heard the conversation between Mitch, Lisa and I and he
kindly apologized for his daughter in laws behavior. I told him it was no
problem and then headed back downstairs to my office.

Upon arriving I dove into the files that Mitch had given me. I did so in
efforts to take my mind off the sight I saw when I first walked into
Mitch's office. I had to keep my emotions under control. Mitch was not only
straight, but married, and to top it off had two babies on the way. I was
falling for someone who was way out of my league and not even of my
orientation.

Before I knew it was time for lunch. Lisa came and knocked on my door and
asked if I'd join her at Starbucks down the street. I readily agreed
because my stomach was already rumbling. We got to the ground floor of the
building and we decided to just walk around the block to Starbucks.

After arriving and placing our orders we sat in a corner booth. She began
asking me how I liked it so far. I told her everything was going great so
far, I then told her about my meeting with Mitch (leaving out the shirtless
part) and meeting his wife. When the subject of Mitch's wife came up, Lisa
really let her hair down. "Just between you and I Tony, Rebecca is a true
bitch." she saw the look on my face and continued smiling "Don't get me
wrong, she can be sweet when she is getting what she wants. But tell her
no, or that she can't have something is when the harpy lady comes out. And
I find it very rude for her to act liked that towards you, considering she
doesn't even know you." She said. I replied "Well I didn't think anything
of it. I just chalked it up to her going through pregnancy hormones." She
then said "No it's not that pregnancy hormones, it's just the way she
is. Stuck up and rude. Just watch out for her." We finished our lunch and
headed back to the office.

When I got back to my desk, I checked my e-mail. I had two e-mails from
Mitch, the first one was checking on the status of the papers he gave me. I
replied back on the status, and then opened his second e-mail. He was
apologizing to me for his wife's behavior earlier then office. Apparently
her behavior embarrassed him, and he didn't want me to think that he agreed
with his wife's treatment of me. I replied back that I accepted his apology
and that I would see him in the morning. I finished up my reports and then
logged my time into the computer for each case. I packed up my stuff and
headed out the door.

It took me about 45 minutes to get home because of traffic, so I was more
than ready to relax when I walked in my front door. Despite a few minor
hiccups, all in all today was a good day. I got comfortable and decided to
call my mom and filled her in on my first day. She was happy for me and
told me to keep it up. After talking with her I decided to take nice long
hot shower. I got in and started to soap my washcloth and then my
body. When I got to my cock, I immediately got hard. The first thought that
came to mind was of Mitch shirtless. I wanted to kiss him so badly when I
saw him in that state. My thoughts kept more and more erotic as I stroked
my cock and tugged on my balls, until I finally shot a huge load onto my
shower wall. I caught my breath and rinsed myself off, and climbed out of
the shower. I dried off and hopped in bed. I didn't have much of an
appetite so I decided to try to get prepared for work day ahead.

I made it up in my mind that Mitch was off limits. I would have to remind
myself that I was there to further and advance myself in law. Not to fall
in love, especially with a straight man. I began dozing off to these
thoughts. Unfortunately the dreams I had contradicted the resolve I made
before I fell asleep. I dreamed of Mitch making me his in every way
possible.

I woke up the next morning to the sound of my alarm clock. As usual my
morning hardness was there, so I decided to just get up and get ready for
my day doing my best to ignore it. I didn't want to think about Mitch
again. It was early enough that I could go for a quick run before work. I
got my running gear on (a tank, gym shorts, and Brooks running shoes) and
headed out the door. I decided this would be the perfect time for me to
check out the area and get a better feel of my new home. I ran a couple
blocks over from where I lived, when I started noticing the houses were
getting larger. I thought to myself "One day I will own of these" and kept
pushing through my run.

There were quite a few people out running this morning. I was running
behind one guy who was shirtless, he was about 15-20 feet ahead of me. I
could see the muscles in his back and ass working as he ran. A bullet could
bounce off of his ass I thought. I had to keep my emotions in check
otherwise I would have boned up if I kept looking. As I got closer I
noticed he started to slow down to a light jog, I guess to catch his
breath. I finally was just behind him, and my heart just about stopped. It
was Mitch!

He noticed me right beside him, and he stopped by a large oak tree, smiled
that gorgeous smile of his and said "Tony we have got to stop meeting like
this. It seems my shirt is always off when I see you" He chuckled. I tried
to catch my breath and then replied with a small laugh "I know it is funny
the way I keep finding you half naked." Did I just say that. He laughed and
said "Well I love to be naked" then he winked at me. I just about blew a
load in my shorts at this point. He continued "My early morning runs are my
only time of peace. Between the firm, and Rebecca I really have no time for
my self."

I noticed when he said Rebecca's name he said it somewhat bitterly. I said
to him "Well you might have to get used to having no time to your self. You
have two baby boys on the way. Your free time is about to disappear." I
jokingly said. He replied "Ain't that the truth. Well I hope I will have
time for this after my sons are born. I love running, it relaxes my mind
and gets me into my zone for the day. But I can't wait for the little guys
to get here, I'm stoked!" He excitedly proclaimed. I said "Well you seem
like you will be a great father. Those boys will have a great role model to
up to." He put his muscular arm around my shoulder, and pulled me close to
his side. Then said "Thanks Tony! I'll have to let Uncle Tony you baby sit
after they are born." He laughed. I told him "Hey I'm game, I love kids."
He smiled at me and then said "Well that's good to know."

He continued "So I'm assuming you live nearby? Rebecca and I live a couple
of streets down from where we are now." I said "yep I sure do. I live in
some converted apartments off stadium road. I actually just got settled in
last night." He replied "Well that's cool, you let me know if you need help
finding anything around here. I've lived in columbia area my entire life."
I told him "Thanks! I'll keep that in mind".

I looked down at my phone and realized the time. It was getting close to
time for me to get back home to get ready for work. I said "Well boss man
I'm about to head back to my place I need to shower and get ready to head
into the office. I finished up those workers compensation reports you left
for me yesterday as well." He replied "It's Mitch Tony, and thanks again
for taking care of that for me yesterday. I really do appreciate you taking
the bull by the horns and getting things in gear for me. I'm looking
forward to looking over the reports. I will see you in about an hour or two
buddy." He said as he squeezed my shoulder and headed in the direction of
his house I assumed. I on the other hand couldn't get home fast enough. I
was ready to burst a huge load.

I sprinted home, stripped and did just that. Of course with thoughts of a
Mitch going through my mind. I couldn't believe that he winked at me when
he said he loved to be naked. Was he coming onto me? And the constant
touching. I mean I definitely didn't mind it, but most guys wouldn't hug
another guy in short runners shorts, and shirtless for that matter. I mean
this man was married, with two kids! He was straight! Maybe I'm just
looking into this too much. I definitely have a crush on him, but it could
be nothing more then that, just a crush. I couldn't help but also notice
his reaction to saying Rebecca's name. I thought there is more to that
subject then it seems, even if he is straight. I pushed the thoughts to the
back of mine, and started to get ready for my second day of work.

I got to work, and stopped by Lisa's desk to say hello. She told me good
morning, then she gave me a list of things I needed to look over. I noticed
that there were cases from other partners beside Mitch but ought nothing of
it. I figured they just wanted to test me out to see how well I would
handle various areas of law practice. I welcomed the challenge because as
of right now, I really am not not sure what area of law I want to
specialize in. I headed to my office to start my day. I e-mailed copies of
my reports that Mitch gave me yesterday back to him, and the I dove into my
new assignments. I wanted to make a good impression on the other partners,
so I made sure that all cases were thoroughly noted and promptly delivered.

Throughout the day Mitch would e-mail me asking how things were going, and
I replied that they were going well. At about 2:30 I received an e-mail to
come by his office at 3. I wondered what he wanted, but figured it was
about the report sine-mailed to him. As 3:00 got closer I bookmarked my
current work, and then headed upstairs to his office. His door was shut, so
I knocked. I heard him say "Come In" so I opened the door and went it. He
was looking at some notes on his desk, and looked up at me and smiled. He
has to quit doing that I thought. He said "Tony it's good to see you. And
look I actually have a shirt on."  He chuckled. I laughed and said "Hey
what the fun in that?!" Oh my god, I can't believe I just said that. He
just chuckled and said "Sorry to disappoint you." He winked at me and
continued "I was just looking over these workers compensation reports you
emailed me and I want to tell you thanks so much. You really are going to
be an asset to me. I didn't even have to go back and do any
corrections. The only thing I have to do is sign off on these claims, and
we are set. Your going to be one hell of a lawyer one day!" He exclaimed. I
smiled from ear to ear after hearing his praises and told him "Thanks! I
just wanted to make sure that I was as thorough as possible. Plus it's kind
of my job to make your life easier." I said. He replied back "Well you sure
are making it easy for me. But hey before you go I wanted ask you something
if I'm not being to forward?"

I thought "Oh God, I hope he isn't going to ask me if I'm gay", I said back
"Ok cool, Shoot." He asked "I was just curious if you would like to be my
running partner in the morning, considering we live in the same general
area? I replied back "That would be fantastic!" I hoped I didn't sound to
enthusiastic, then continued "so where do you want to meet at, and what
time?" He replied back "Lets meet at 6:30 since the sun will be somewhat up
by then. We'll meet at the old oak tree we were talking at this morning." I
told him that sounded great and that I was looking forward to it. He said
"Ok then Great! See you in the morning partner!"

I went back to my office and finished up my remaining reports from the
other partners. 5:00 was fastly approaching, so I decided to stay a little
later to avoid the traffic jams that always happened after getting off
work. At about 5:30 I heard a woman yelling and shouting, so I decided to
go and investigate. As I got to the front of the firm, I saw Rebecca
yelling at Lisa who was sitting calmly behind her desk just
smiling. Apparently Mitch had a last minute appointment that showed up, and
Rebecca wasn't too happy about waiting again. He was supposed be taking her
out to some fancy Restaurant for dinner. And when Lisa told her he had a
client, she wasn't to happy about that. So she decided to take it out on
Lisa, who I can tell was just about at her breaking point with Rebecca's
attitude. Lisa saw me coming, smiled and said, "Well good afternoon Tony" I
replied back "Hey Lisa, is everything ok?".

At this point Rebecca looked at me with daggers and said "No it's not ok!
Why aren't you helping my husband? Are you not his helper or servant or
something? Because of your lack of work ethic, he had to take a last minute
meeting! Why don't you make yourself useful and see if he's done." It took
everything I had not to snap on this troll of a woman, I didn't want to
lose my job on the second day. So I replied "Sure Rebecca, I'll go check
and see if he's done yet." As I walked away from her. I heard say before I
got to the elevator "Good help is so hard to find now a days. I don't know
where my father in law finds you people at." I turned around to go back and
give her a piece of my mind Italian style, but I saw Lisa mouth "GO" so I
hopped on the elevator and headed to Mitch's office.

When I got there both Mitch, his father, and another lawyer named Francine
(she worked in family law) was headed out of Mitch's office. I heard her
say we will discuss this later on gentlemen after the births. I thought to
myself what was that all about. Mitch saw me coming and started smiling,
but after he realized I wasn't smiling back he asked "Is everything okay
Tony?" I replied "No it's not, but I'll be ok. Rebecca is waiting for you
downstairs and she isn't to happy. Mitch's dad looked at me and asked "She
wasn't causing a scene was she?" I then related my story back to him and he
nor Mitch didn't look to pleased. Mitch again apologized for his wife's
behavior. His father said "You have to get her under control, I will not
have her treating my employees in this manner." Mitch nodded in the
affirmative and said "OK dad, let's head down before this gets any worse."

We got on the elevator and headed down to the main floor of the
office. When the doors opened, there was Rebecca standing right at the
doors. She said "Well it's about damn time! I have been waiting for 30
minutes for you. You know I hate waiting. I had to send your servant boy to
come find you..." At this point Mr. Brown stepped in, cut her off and said
"Rebecca, I will not have you degrading my employees in this manner. You
are a guest in my office, you don't own anything in here, nor do any of my
employees work for you! So you will treat them with respect, am I clear?
She just looked at him with a blank stare, then looked at Mitch and said
"Come on now, I will not be treated like this!" She then pulled him into
the elevator. I looked in Mitch's face as the doors close and he looked so
sad, and yet angry at the same time. I felt so bad for him. When the doors
closed Mr. Brown said to me "I again want to apologize for my daughter in
laws behavior. She had no right to talk to nor treat you in the manner that
she did. I hope you won't hold this against the firm for her behavior." I
replied back "Apology accepted. And no I won't hold it against the firm at
all." He then squeezed my shoulder and headed back up to his office.

I walked past Lisa's desk and she said "Told ya, a true bitch." I laughed
and went to get my things to head home for the day. Traffic wasn't too bad,
since most of the rush hour had already past. I stopped at the Publix that
wasn't to far from my apartment to get a bottle of wine. Tonight would
definitely be one of those nights. I got home warmed up some dinner and sat
back and relaxed with my mind. As usual my mind was filled with the events
of the day. Mainly my run with Mitch this morning, and that Bitch of a wife
of his this afternoon. I just couldn't understand how someone so sweet and
kind, could end up with such a mean spirited person. In my opinion, the two
were polar opposites. But besides that, I guess you can't control who you
fall for. Considering I'm in a predicament of my own, with me falling for
Mitch. I decided to turn in for the night, I had an early morning ahead of
me, one that included me spending time with Mitch.
