Andy hoped that he could avoid Eric while he worked on the landscaping, even though a small part in him was happy to see Eric again. Happy to be in his presence again, even though it reminded him constantly of what they had once been. And made him longed for Eric more and more.
But, Andy told himself, it was Eric’s own good that he left. It was for his sake.
Sorting through the paperwork before him, finalizing a few things and making a few minor adjustments. But he still found that his mind kept drifting back to Eric, no matter how hard he tried to distract himself. Even though they had seen each other, they barely spoken anymore after that terse exchange back in the office three days ago.
Andy wasn’t the brightest light on the Christmas tree, he knew that Eric was mad at him. No, not mad; bitter and resentful was probably more accurate.
Not that he could blame Eric. Andy has his reasons to left Eric, not that he could tell him though. He promised he wouldn’t.
Suddenly, the door of his office opened and Eric walked in, his business jacket under his arm and the sleeves of his shirt rolled up to his elbows. His hair was slightly messy, a bored expression on his face.
Andy couldn’t help but stared at him. Yeah, he was so handsome as ever.
Andy snapped out of it when Eric turned to look at him, his once black peaceful eyes now fierce and sharp.
