At work, they attended a meeting where Mark was surprised to see Alex, his longtime friend who'd helped him land the job. Unbeknownst to Mark, Alex was Jay's cousin. Jay, unaware of their connection, grew uneasy seeing them chat so comfortably. His jealousy grew, and he started assigning Mark tasks that required him to stay close.
"What's going on between you and My cousin Alex?" Jay asked.
Mark was taken aback,
Is Alex your cousin?
Jay replied what's going on between you two? you seem close
"Alex? He's just my friend," Mark replied, confused.
"Just friends?" Jay pressed.
"Yes! He helped me get this job."
Despite the reassurance, Jay's jealousy didn't fade, especially when a new team member, Jane, joined their project. Jane had a crush on Mark after seeing him at wedding,
She was assigned to work on the same project as mark, and used every opportunity to get close to him.
As they worked together Mark barely had time to spend with Jay at the office.he was often with Jane and when they got home he would focus on his job, sometimes even to forget to cook for Jay
With Mark spending more time with her, Jay felt increasingly alone and irritable.
Especially when mark was with Jane.
Jay behavior become more intense and irrational as his jealousy grew.
He became short-tempered and irritable when mark was around others,
Without realizing the root cause of his emotions.
Mark started to feel trapped and suffocated as Jay found excuses to keep him close,
Blurring the lines of their professional relationship and leading to awkward situation.
After the project was successful, Jane had to leave and return to her workplace.
However, she still kept in touch with Mark, and visit him often.
Whenever they were together, Jay would intervene, taking mark away from her.
Mark was confused about Jay's involvement in his personal life.
Jay become increasingly possessive,
"Why do you keep spending time with Jane?" Jay asked one evening.
"She's a teammate, that's all," Mark replied.
"She clearly likes you," Jay muttered.She's doing all this to get close to you "Are you okay with her flirting?"
Mark snapped. "So what? Why do you care? It's none of your business! Whether she likes me or not.
You're just my boss, nothing else they start to argue and got into fight and didn't speak to each other,
Hurt by Mark's words, Jay avoided him for days. One evening, Jay saw Jane waiting for Mark outside the office. Confronting her, he said, "Mark is my boyfriend, and we live together. Leave him alone."
Jane, skeptical, followed them home and was shocked to see they indeed shared an apartment.
Jane decided to talk to mark one last time
She confronted Mark the next day, and ask him out.
Jay appeared, refusing to let them talk alone.
Jane said to mark since the first time I saw you at Dave wedding, I fell for you. I'm willing to be with you.
Which is why I accepted this project to get close to you.
I like you mark.she looked into his eyes, but Marks mind was elsewhere.
Confessing her feelings. "I've liked you since I first saw you," she admitted. "But I understand if you're with someone else."
Mark was stunned. Before he could respond, Jay intervened, dragging him away. Mark is confused and ask jay Did you tell her I'm seeing someone? Why didn't you ask me first?
"Why did you lie to her?" you don't know anything, Mark demanded."Why do you keep meddling in my life?"
Jay came close to mark and looked him deeply in the eyes. And said I don't like anyone else looking at you.i don't like you smiling at anyone else.i don't like you going around acting cute.
Without warning, Jay suddenly kissed him. And said, I don't want to see you with another person,"Because I'm jealous,"Jay confessed. "I don't want to lose you. Stay please"
Mark's heart raced. Looking into Jay's eyes,
As he felt Jay's lips.He looked deep into his eyes,
Jay hug him tightly and said mark, stay with me please, I want to be with you, ( I LIKE YOU) and kiss him again.
Mark felt happy and relieved that Jay liked him too he take a deep breath and respond, I like you I always do,
he whispered, "I like you too. I was just scared you wouldn't feel the same."
They embraced, sealing their mutual feelings with another kiss. For the first time, their hearts were in sync, free from doubt and fear.
