No One's P.O.V

Weeks passed since Matt Hargraves didn't go to his wedding with Thomas Ridgewall. Social media then spread the news that Matt flew away to California, Which lead to Tom into a complete despair, he stopped eating, stopped sleeping and cry almost every minute in his life. 

Upon seeing him in a state his family couldn't bare to him so depressed anymore. But they couldn't do anything to make him feel at least a bit better.

Matt Hargraves is the son and is the next heir of the Mayor. When everyone heard about what the mayor's son had done to Tom. The mayor's son's trust ratings lowered up to the point where there was no chance of Matt winning the next election.

'People love Thomas more than Matt so what we just have to do.. is to make Thomas forgive Matt, then the people will forgive him as well.'

The Mayor hired a man named Tord to help Tom Move on from what happened then Forgive. Tord was all too confident of achieving the 'job well done' of the Mayor. But was a bit surprised of... How things actually played out.

1 month of doing his job, Tord learned more things about Tom. He learned that Thomas knows how to bake and is a kindergarten teacher. He found out the sweet, loving side of Tom to which he never expected before.

Tord once thought, 'this guy must be desperate for Matt.', but now he's all he can think about is, 'I didn't know he was this sweet and kind..', which was making him falling for Tom.

Tom on the other hand was starting to forget Matt and focus on Tord. He knew Tord was just working for the Mayor to help him move on. But now that he finally moved on, can he fall for Tord now?

Soon their feelings for each other was all too visible. Even Tom's family loved seeing them together, Tord's family as well. So.. what happens now?

------

"You.. almost got married?" Tom asked as he took a sip of his red wine. Tord let out a chuckle, "Yeah, I was too focused on my work. So.. she left me and eventually made a family of her own." Tord replied as he smiled gently towards Tom.

"I am really sorry.."

"Nah, it was nothing really. I moved on." Tord added as he puts his glass down and pull Tom up. Tom stumbled as he stood close to Tord, "what are you doing?" Tom whispered as they heard a acoustic love song play. They were at Tord's 24th birthday party and everyone seemed to be partying inside Tord's house while he and Tom stayed in the garden.

Another smirk creeped on Tord's lips, "let's.. just dance.." he mumbled as he slowly swayed Tom with the music. Their steps and movements were in harmony as the two only looked at each other's eyes. Soon enough Tord started leaning down to Tom to which made Tom lean upwards to Tord.

Their lips were fairly close to one another... Then..

*RIIIING*

Both of them quickly pushed each other away as Tord took his phone out of his pocket to answer the call.

"I'll be back." Tord said to Tom before excusing himself outside of his house.

"Larssean you better come here in my office, right this instance!" The mayor's voice said on the other line,

"B-but mayor, I though--"

"NOW!"

with that Tord hurried back to Tom,

"Hey, something urgent came up for a bit. I'll be gone in a while.." he said to Tom,

"Oh, then I guess I should get going--"

"No, no! Stay. I promise I'll be back!" Tord finished before kissing Tom on his forehead and hurrying to his car to get to the mayor's office as soon as possible.

When he got there he was greeted by The Mayor.. and Matt Hargraves. They both stood in front of him,

"What's.. going on?.." Tord asked and looked at Matt, observing him from head to toe with an annoyed look. Matt looked down like he was guilty.

"Now.. Larssean I know you still have been hanging around with Thomas. So.. what I want you to do now is to help my son get an engagement with him." The Mayor cooed as he turn his head to Matt who was looking quite uncomfortable.

"What?.." Tord asked making the Mayor and Matt look at him,

"..with all due respect sir.. my job was to only make Thomas Move on and Forgive and--"

"I don't want it like that! My son's ratings are still going down! Therefore I need him and Thomas to get engage this instant!"

"You can't do that sir! We are talking about feelings here and I don't want to play with--"

"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU LARSSEAN?!" The Mayor yelled as he points at Tord who stood still and stiffened on his spot.

"I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU'RE GOOD AT PLAYING THE GAME?!--" the Mayor paused as he looked into Tord's gray eyes, "you're in love are you."

Tord didn't reply and just looked down, he clenched his fists as the Mayor went behind him, "You better do this Larssean or I'll not just ruin your job and life! But also Thomas's life as well!" The Mayor yelled as he shoved Tord out of his way and on to his son's side again.

"LARSSEAN, YOU BETTER STRAIGHTEN THE FUCK UP, OKAY?! LIKE YOUR FUCKING HAIR HORNS!" The Mayor yelled as he shoved his own son to Tord and left his office.

Tord stood there quietly.. same did Matt. Both stood quietly for a good minute before Matt walks over to him, "this is your job... You.. just have to do it then." Matt mumbled as he pats Tord on his shoulder.
