"What's up with you this morning?" Caitlyn asked. She noticed that he seemed a little off and lost in thoughts.

"Nothing." Dan sighed. He didn't know how to tell her about everything going on. He knew that she wouldn't understand, for starters she disliked Phil a lot, but Dan on the other side wasn't sure what he felt towards him.

"Come on Dan you know you can't lie to me." Caitlyn said rolling her eyes. "Tell ms what's wrong. Does it have anything to do with work?"

"Yeah, its just work stressing me out." Dan half lied.

"Look, why don't you just quit?" She asked.

"Unless I can find another job that pays me a decent amount I can't." He sighed. "I really have to go now, I'll see you after work."

Phil was sitting in his office lost in his own thoughts. He stared blankly at his laptop but all he could think of was Dan. The first person he let himself fall for and open up to. He feared that Dan probably hated him and he only had himself to blame for that, he only gave him reasons to hate him. Phil knew that Victoria had told Dan about his past life, about his father and how he's the only reason that Phil is stuck with this business. She told him about what how his father would sell him to other grown men. He knew she told him that he never let himself get attached to or fall for anyone until now. The moment he saw Dan walk by his office he got up, he had to talk to him he had to try to convince him to give him another chance.

"Hey Dan!" Phil called running over to him. "Do you have a minute?"

"I- um have a shoot.." He responded nervously.

"It won't take too long." Phil promised ad Dan nodded in response. "I know that Victoria told you a few things about my past.."

"Y-yeah she did.." Dan whispered looking down.

"Everything she told you was true Dan." Phil said gently grabbing Dan's chin tilting his head up so he was looking at him. "Every single thing. It's true that I've been scared to fall in love as well until now."

Dan's cheeks turned light pink, he looked up at Phil not knowing what to say. He just wanted to grab his face and kiss him but something inside of him was stopping him from doing that. He wanted to think this through carefully before he did anything.

"I know this is too much to ask for and I probably don't deserve it but please just give me a chance.." Phil whispered stroking Dan's cheek with his thumb.

"Phil.." Dan whispered, it was the first time he ever said his first name. "I-I need time- I really have to go.."

"Why are you always running off on me!?" Phil asked stopping him. "I just told you everything and I told you Im in love with you."

"Please understand, I just need time to think it over.." Dan said putting his hand over Phil's.

"Forget it Dan, I'd rather not raise my hopes up just to be rejected by you. I don't know if I can stand the pain." Phil muttered looking away.

"I promise I'll talk to you after I'm done with the shoot." He said. He quickly kissed Phil's cheek before leaving to calm him down and assure that everything is fine. Phil knew that it should've given him hope but it didn't. He could feel his heart breaking in the fear of losing the one person he loves.

Phil just made his way back into his office, the good thing about his office was that it was in his mansion. He sat on his chair putting his head down onto his desk.

"Are you alright?" Victoria asked putting her hand on his shoulder.

"I'm such an idiot." Phil mumbled not lifting his head up.

"Why do you say that?" Victoria asked. She had hunch that it had to do with Dan.

"I fucking poured my heart out to Dan and he just tells me that he has to go." Phil said holding his tears back. "The one person I fall for hates me."

Victoria opened her mouth to say something but was interrupted by a knock on the door. She looked over and saw Dan standing there. "What do you want?"

"I need to talk to Phil.." He said quietly.

"No, if you're here to say no to him then just don't bother Dan." She said sternly.

"Please just give us a minute?" Dan asked. Victoria looked over at Phil who nodded. She gave Dan a look which was probably to warn him before leaving.

"Make it quick,I have work to do." Phil said plainly. He took the folders off his desk and got up to put them on the shelf.

"Look I'm sorry for walking off just now and before.." Dan sighed.

"I told you I like you and Victoria told you my past story and you just walked off Dan."

"I'm sorry. I just needed time to think."

"It's simple. You either like me or you don't Dan. I wish you would just tell me honestly it wouldn't hurt so much."

"You don't understand Phil, I just needed time.."

"Please just leave Dan.." Phil sighed, he didn't want to hear what Dan to say not after how he walked off on him for the second time.

Dan however was not about to walk off again. He had to get Phil to listen to him. He grabbed Phil's arm pulling him close to him pressing his lips onto his. Phil instantly kissed back bringing up both his hands to cup Dan's face.

"Now will you just listen to me?" Dan asked between kisses.

"You like me?" Phil asked.

"Yes I like you and I'm sorry I walked off on you." Dan whispered pressing another soft kiss on Phil's lips. "And I'm willing to give this a shot."

Phil smiled pulling Dan closer to him kissing him more passionately. Phil lifted him up putting him down so he was sitting on his desk. Dan wrapped his legs around Phil pulling him closer to himself deepening the kiss. Phil felt himself tense up the moment Dan's hands had crept under his shirt running his hands up and down his body.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken it so far." Dan apologized when he felt Phil tense up remembering everything that Victoria had told him.

"I know I should be over this already I'm 27 and afraid when anyone touches me." Phil sighed pressing his forehead onto Dan's.

"Look we don't have to do anything until you're ready and sure that you want it." Dan assured him.

"I really do want to do it with you.. Just when I'm ready.." Phil said biting his lip nervously.

"We will wait until you're ready." Dan smiled wrapping his arms around Phil's waist pulling him into a hug.

"Can you stay the night?" Phil asked hoping he's not being too forward.

"Of course." Dan smiled pecking his lips.
