Love Me, My Omega!

It's a new day and a new week at work for Justin, and he wished he could get a new life, too.

It's only been a week since Tristan started courting him, but he's already too drained because of Tristan's attempts to get closer to him.

"Good morning! I have a package for Mr. Justin Alvarez. Is he here today?"

"Goddamn it... What is it this time?" Justin grumbled and let out a long sigh. The sound of his swivel chair's wheels can be heard as he stood up. "I'm here," he said as he smiled a little.

He walked to the delivery man and when he got there, his eyes were immediately drawn to a huge bouquet of pink and red roses.

"Please sign here," the delivery man said as he handed a paper and a pen to the omega. Justin took it from him and signed it.

He handed the bouquet of flowers to Justin and said, "I guess I'll be back again tomorrow, sir. Have a great day." The delivery man smiled at him and proceeded to walk out of their office.

Justin let out a heavy sigh as he stared at the bouquet.

"Wow! It's flowers today, huh?"

Justin flinched as he heard someone speak above his shoulder. He immediately knew who it was just from the sound of that person's voice.

"Yeah," he said as he nodded. "Seriously, who sends these things to you?" Hannah said as she walked in front of Justin to get a better look of the bouquet.

"I guess you could call him a suitor...?" Justin said, unsure whether he should really use that term.

It wasn't a lie that Tristan was courting him, making him his suitor, but somehow, that term didn't really sit well with him.

Justin looked around as Hannah was looking at the flowers and saw that his office mates keep stealing glances at him. It was obvious that they were also intrigued by it.

But truthfully, it would be even stranger if they weren't intrigued by it at all.

For a week straight, Tristan has been sending presents to Justin and even leaves a cup of coffee on his desk every morning. Of course, he just asks someone to deliver it, too, so he could hide his identity from Justin's office mates.

He knew it would only cause trouble for Justin if word got out that he, the CEO of the company and the conglomerate itself, is courting a new hire.

"I thought you had a lover?" Hannah said as she looked at Justin with a confused expression on her face. "No, I don't," Justin chuckled.

Hannah shrugged and smelled the roses instead of prying further.

"Ah~ I wish someone would give me flowers, too," Hannah said out loud, wanting Carl to hear it. Justin looked at Carl and saw that he was rolling his eyes at Hannah, making the omega chuckle.

"Come on, let's continue working," Justin said and walked back to his desk with the bouquet on his hand.

'Seriously... It's still so early, yet he's already back at it again,' Justin thought as he sat back on his chair.

He faced his computer and started working again. Over an hour passed by, and the delivery man came in again.

"Good morning! I'm sorry to interrupt your work, again. May I ask for Mr. Justin Alvarez? There's another delivery for him."

"What? Again?" Justin muttered as his forehead creased.

'He's awfully persistent today. What's gotten into him? I literally told him last time not to get in the way of my work, but he's doing something like this. I should talk to him about this later,' Justin thought as he stood up and walked to the direction where the deliver man was.

It was another bouquet.

But this time, it was a bouquet of pink and white baby's breaths.

He was asked to sign something again, and after that, he went back to his desk.

"Hmm? Another one?" Hannah asked as she watched Justin sit back on his chair. "I seriously don't know what's gotten into that idiot," Justin said as he shook his head and pulled his chair forward to his desk.

He took his phone that was on his desk and texted Tristan.

Justin:

Meet me later after work. This will be quick.

Tristan:

Okay. Let's meet at the basement parking lot.

Time went by quickly, and their working hours are almost over.

It's already 4:30 in the afternoon.

The twins suddenly crossed his mind as he was typing and thought that he made the right decision in hiring a permanent babysitter for them.

He felt bad for making them wait for over 2 hours at the preschool. He knew that they'd be alone there with their teacher and that they'd be lonely if they're left for too long.

Making them wait that much only makes him an irresponsible parent.

He wanted to hire someone else instead of Jace's mother, Jamie, because she's already got her hands full with her son. When she found out that Justin wanted to hire a permanent babysitter for the twins, she was the one who approached him and offered to look after them. She told Justin that she needed money so badly because her husband just got fired from his job.

Because of her circumstances, Justin couldn't really say no. In the first place, the reason why he didn't want to hire her was because she has her own son to take care of, but that didn't seem to be an issue anymore because she, herself, said that she wanted the job.

Just thinking about the twins made Justin want to go home and spend time with them.

Finally, their working hours have ended, and Justin immediately left the office to meet Tristan.

When he got there, he thought he still had to look around to search for Tristan's whereabouts, but that didn't seem to be a problem anymore.

The moment he got to the basement parking lot, he spotted Tristan's car right away.

It was the only car that was parked near the entrance to the building. The parking spaces around his car were all vacant as if people were avoiding to park their car next to his.

"Hey," Tristan said as he raised his hand while smiling at him.

Justin looked around to see if there was someone else there, and thankfully, they were alone.

He walked towards Tristan, and as he did, Tristan said, "Don't worry. Most people don't leave early on Mondays."

"Whatever," Justin said as he rolled his eyes.

"I see that you received my gift, but... why do you have two?" Tristan said as he raised a brow while looking at Justin's hands that were holding bouquets of flowers.

What Tristan said made Justin confused. "What are you talking about? Aren't you the one who sent these?" Justin said as he scrunched his eyebrows. "Well, it's true that sent a bouquet to you, but it's just that. Just that one. The baby's breaths," Tristan said as he looked at Justin's hand that was holding the bouquet.

"Come on, don't play me, Tristan. Seriously, you have to stop this. Sending things at work makes things so awkward among my office mates," Justin said as he sighed.

"Sure, I'll stop. But I really wasn't the one who sent you that bouquet," Tristan said as he clenched his jaw.

'What the hell... Who would dare block my way and send him a bouquet? Well, Justin certainly is a beautiful and enticing omega, and it's not like I didn't expect to have a rival. But... this makes me upset,' Tristan thought as he frowned.

When Justin saw his facial expression, he knew that Tristan was telling the truth.

"Is there someone else courting you?" Tristan said as he forced himself to look calm on the outside. He didn't want to show Justin how upset he was because that might only make him distant from him. He was afraid that Justin might think that he'a being way too emotional about it when they're not even dating.

"No?" Justin said as he tilted his head a bit. "Why are you saying it like it's a question?" Tristan chuckled, trying to hide the mixed emotions he was feeling right now.

He was anxious, scared, and upset, but he managed to hide all that with his smile.

"Argh, I don't know," Justin grunted. "Anyway, stop sending things. I told you not to get in the way of my work, didn't I?" he continued.

'Oh... he's upset,' Tristan thought as he watched Justin's facial expression change.

He lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry. I'll think of other ways that won't trouble you in any way."

The way he spoke sounded so sad that Justin wanted to hug him and tell him it was alright, but he stopped himself from doing that.

'Argh, whatever!' Justin thought as he pursed his lips.

"Do that, then," he said and cleared his throat.

"Then, why don't I start now?" Tristan said as he grinned at him. "What do you mean?" Justin said as he looked at him in confusion. "The other way to court you. Eat dinner with me," Tristan said as he shrugged, still grinning.

"And if I don't want to?" Justin said as he raised a brow at him. "Then, we'll just do it tomorrow. If not tomorrow, then the day after and so on," Tristan smiled at him.

From the way Tristan smiled as his eyes sparkled, Justin immediately knew that there was no way he'd give up on that.

Justin sighed in defeat.

"Fine. Tomorrow. Let's have dinner tomorrow."
