Kendrick nodded and grabbed his notebook. "What is this called?" he asked as he took a bit, writing down his notes as he did so.

Rory flushed. "That's one of my savory crepes. It's wild rice and corn," he explained before moving on to point out each item on the tray to Kendrick and describing each one. There were about twenty or so and Rory assured Kendrick that he had a million more recipes but that the tray contained house favorites. "Erm, I'm not sure what you're looking for, so," he finished awkwardly.

Kendrick looked up to him curious, "I was looking for a dessert place," he informed him. "And now I have found one. We will pay your workers, but you get to pick who those will be. You get a restaurant upstairs which you can build as you like, I will fund that. Lucas likes your treats, as do I, and he wants to keep seeing you every week, so this arrangement would work for both of those."

Rory was dumbstruck and realized that his mouth had been hanging open in shock. He quickly snapped it shut and blinked at Kendrick, his chest heaving with breaths of gratitude before he smiled brilliantly. "Thank you Mr. Massarotti," Rory gushed, thrusting his hand at the male so he could give it a firm shake. "You won't regret this. If you'll show me the location in this building, I can get started right away!" Finally, something was going just a little bit right in his life!

Kendrick took his hand on reflex, because he thrust it at him. He froze when he felt the shock and saw that smile, it was stunning, that felt so nice. "Your mine," he told him. He kept his hand in his and walked to the elevator, "I will show you your spot in the building. Tonight you will come home with me, I will hire someone to bring your things to my house."

And then suddenly Rory's emotions were slammed right back into the dirt. Shocked roared over him as Kendrick spoke, the male's words buzzing in his ears. "What?" He asked faintly, not wanting nor expecting what had just happened. He barely managed to regain himself before they stepped into the elevator.
"I'm not going anywhere," Rory replied staunchly, sliding his hands from Kendrick with a half frightened shudder. He needed to process this. He was still stuck in the what-the-hell-just-happened phase. "I think you're a little confused, sir. I have my own home. I won't be moving into yours."

Kendrick looked to him frowning but still remaining stern. "You are my mate," he protested. "As my mate you should be living with me. As you will. Lucas will love it if you lived with us. And I will not risk losing you as Lucas lost his parents. Not now that I have found you."

Rory's face drained of it's color and staggered a step back from Kendrick, catching himself against the nearby wall. He looked up at the tall, imposing male and wondering what it would be like to have such a stern mate. It was impossible. Kendrick was just confused. Rory wasn't ready for a mate, nor as he ready for a half grown kit!
"I don't even know you!" Rory cried. "I can't just randomly move in!"

Kendrick looked down at him concerned and took a step toward him. "You will learn of me, you are my mate," he told him now. "You must live with me Rory, you are my mate. Are you not accepting me? Is it because of Lucas?"

Rory could feel himself breathing a little too quickly. "I think I need to sit down a moment," he said faintly, ignoring Kendrick and his questions for a moment as he slid to the carpeted floor, head between his knees. "You can't just expect me to be okay with this Massarotti. Two seconds ago I was mate and kitless." He was talking to the floor at this point but he finally looked up. "And what if I did say it was because of Lucas? What would you do?" Rory knew it was cruel to say something about that sweet child, but he'd do anything at this point to get a little more time to think.

Kendrick watched him, something in him wanting to pick Rory up and hold him, like he did with Lucas when he was sad. "I do expect you to be ok with this, you are my mate, you are supposed to want to be with me no matter what," he protested not understanding what the issue was. When he heard those words he tensed, eyes hardening, "Maybe I was mistaken. I do not need a mate who will make me throw Lucas out. Your bakery will be in 22A, if you need anything ask my assistant." With that he pressed a button to have the elevator stop on the next floor and once it opened he walked out briskly walking back to his office using the stairs.

The man was fickle. Rory watched him leave the elevator and kept watching until the doors slid shut again. He felt horrible for saying such a thing to Kendrick and the hardness in the male's eyes was even worse. However, his reaction strengthened Rory's belief in that Kendrick was just confused. As if a true, newly mated male would had just left. If he were serious, Kendrick would want to "work things out."
With a sigh, Rory finally stood and punched the button for 22a, though wanted badly to press the one labeled ground floor. Mate business aside, he needed this job, the money. Hopefully Kendrick wouldn't make another appearance. The thought had Rory's chest twinging and he rubbed at it angrily.

Kendrick went to his office and started to pace, his chest hurt, and he did not know why. He tried to get back to work but could not seem to, he kept thinking of Rory. Instead he went down to the daycare to take Lucas out early, only he ever calmed him down. He went to the park with him for a few hours then went back to the office shortly before closing. He walked hand in hand with Lucas up to see Rory, he left Lucas in the hall before making his way to Rory, "You are coming home with me. We have a reservation at Elphies, they are the best restaurant in town."

Unlike Kendrick, Rory threw himself into his work. He'd used Kendrick's assistant to the fullest and already had people lined up for interviews tomorrow. After those appointments had been made, Rory fussed and fussed over the decor of the place, finally deciding on a design and sending out all the order sheets for what he needed. The baking came last. Rory wanted to break in all the new equipment as well as forget about what had happened earlier.
When Kendrick showed up again, Rory's auburn curls were twist up against his head and the little male was covered in a good portion of flour and other baking ingredients. "You sure don't like to ask, do you," Rory snapped, taking out a tray of blueberry muffins from the oven with necessary force. "I'm sorry, okay? I'm honestly not dressed for it." He motioned to himself and then to Kendrick.

Kendrick looked him over, he looked different than what he was used to, but he liked it. He shrugged at his words, "I should not need to ask. People should just want to do what I tell them. We can take you home first so you can change and then we can go to the resturant. I need to know where you live so I can send the movers. Lucas would love if you joined us..." He hated using Lucas, but this was needed.
