Elliott smiled as he walked into the office building with Connor. They were a striking pair, Elliott's dark earth colored skin brought out his hazel eyes that like to hid under his thick black eyebrows. He had a smooth complexion and no facial hair. He was 5' 9 and Conner just passed him by 6. Connor wore a tweed jacket over his blue button shirt and khaki trousers. He smiled back as Elliot as he pushed his chocolate brown hair away from his green eyes. Elliot had a matching tweed jacket as they had brought it together during their vacation together in Europe four years ago.
Every since he moved to town Connor has been a good friend helping him adjust to the new city from cooking meals for him or helping him build his Ikea bookshelves.
" I really did try to get us in the same sales department but there were no openings," Connor said as he sipped his coffee. " it's cool we still eat lunch together. Beside my department is very welcoming..maybe crazy but welcoming. " Conner nodded as he listened to Elliot . " well I'm just glad your here now. Before you know it, you'll even make friends. " Elliott nodded , " I hope so. " Connor shook his head. " I know so. you have always had a good personality and you make friends very quick. your not me " he chuckled before getting into the elevator. Elliott sighed. his heart couldn't take being overexposed to Conner. They had been friends for years ever since they met in business school as sophomores in undergrad. Elliott walked around the corner and entered the back end of his department office. he was hired as an billing specialist for a hospital. He waved at the other workers as he went to grab a donut. Delia approached him with a smile. " you know the department hates you. right?" "huh" Elliott said innocently as he looked around. " you were referred by the department's favorite eye candy. you come in with him and you both eat together. Are you two dating?" Deliah said trying to get the dents. " No we are just friends besides he's seeing someone. " Elliott said moving to his desk. "so Dr.Paul isn't lying... boring", deliah said as she crossed her arms. she looked annoyed as her blood red dreads hang down her back. "Dr.Paul..?" deliah smiled devilishly as she pulled up a picture. the tiny screen showed a sexy middle eastern man with salt and pepper hair. he wore a tight fitted blue t-shirt under his doctor's coat. " the dude that's boinking your friend. he stay bragging about Connor coming over... and working out....blah blah blah" Elliott smiled,"oh..... no they aren't a thing. he wishes.... Connor complains about him constantly sending him dick pictures and how even though hes anti gay he wants Connor to break his back," Elliot took a bit out of his doughnut as he didn't have time today for the bullshit. really Dr. Paul...Conner could do better. Elliot thought to himself as a stack of paper were slammed on to his desk. He looked up and paused. " the names is Alexander and you must be the new guy," he said with a crooked smile and gray eyes. he was young and Latino. he had a nice thick beard. however, he was a bit shorter then Elliott. okay way shorter then Elliott like barely 5' 7. " yes...thats me..." Elliot replied with a weak smile. " theses all have to be processed by three. thank you" he said walking out the door. " who...huh?" Elliott looked at deliah. " he is the hospital top worker in the marketing and sales department. I swear he never takes a break. Good luck because his report...I don't miss that. " Deliah smiled and went to her desk. Elliott sigh before he began processes the claims.
