Chapter 172: A trust fund kid? Andy?

Andrew could tell he was anxious. He knew it was silly of him, but he couldn’t stop tapping his foot, shaking his leg, or anything else. He was just excited, and nervous.

This felt like a big thing. It felt like they were doing something crazy, and he was nervous that Dr. Cox would find out what they were doing. They were in the same office! It felt like he was doing something nefarious!

He hadn’t really done something like this before, and he was worried that the delicate relationship that he had formed with her would be harmed if she found out. He had a few backup responses, but that didn’t mean he wasn’t nervous.

Maxwell, on the other hand, didn’t give a flying fuck about what they were about to do. He’d been up to his tits in meeting after meeting. Even more so after he proposed a daycare and cafeteria like Andrew had suggested.

It was a hit, apparently. The whole board loved the idea, especially after Ben endorsed it, and so did Thomas. Maxwell had been all proud about that too, and had pulled Andrew into a supply closet to make out with him in the five minutes of time that they had together during lunch.

Andrew had come out, flushed and clearly up to something he shouldn’t be at work, while Maxwell had looked like he hadn’t done anything at all. Not a ruffled suit in sight.

Maxwell had been ambushing him in the two weeks that he’d been working at the company. Next Monday, when Maxwell had to go to the Doctor, was his official two weeks in his mind, but it was still crazy to think about.

He had been back to a regular, normal life for almost that long. He could be normal and live a normal life after everything in his life had changed.

Now he was feeling emotional, and nervous.

"What’s up with you, Dr Nice?" Dr. Piper asked, noticing that Andrew seemed to be a nervous wreck. Andrew let out a deep sigh, trying to calm himself after working himself up even more.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just-" Richard laughed, interrupting Andrew speaking.

"Don’t listen to his excuses. He’s just nervous because he’s going somewhere with Mr. Beckett after work. Meeting the in-laws, Andy?" He teased and Andrew flushed. At least he redirected the conversation, but Andrew didn’t like how he’d done it.

He got along great with his in laws. Now. The beginning had been a little...rough.

"We aren’t going to see them, but it still feels important. Though we will be in that part of town." Andrew muttered, flushing. Dr. Piper stared at him, and Andrew was grateful that Dr. Cox didn’t seem to care. She was focused on finishing up her work so she could dash out and grab her daughter, Bella.

"Huh. I wonder what would be so important that you’re reacting like this." She pondered to herself and Andrew gulped.

The clock struck 5, and Dr. Cox shut down her computer and began pulling on her outerwear.

"Thanks for another great week, you three. I’ll see you on Monday." She said and Andrew felt himself nodding.

"Have a good weekend, Dr. Cox." Andrew told her and she paused for a second before she sighed.

"Whatever you’re up to, I’m sure you’ll do fine, Dr. Nice. You’re a capable man, and if you weren’t, I doubt Mr. Beckett would be dating you." She said, giving him a small smile before she grabbed her bag and headed for the door. Dr. Piper and Richard waved at her as she raced down the hallway.

"That was too fucking close." Andrew exhaled, placing his hand on his heart. Dr. Piper gave him a strange look while Richard started laughing.

"They’re going to the daycare today. That daycare." Richard told the confused Dr. Piper, and she gasped, covering her mouth in her surprise.

"No! How did you manage that?" She asked and Andrew coughed. He hadn’t been the one to make the appointment, Mr. Newman had actually done it. Andrew still felt a little weird about that, but it got them results.

"Well, we just said that we were looking around at daycares and they...said that they had time to speak to us on Friday. They did actually offer other times, but we chose Friday." Andrew said, and she hmmed.

"So, Mr. Beckett didn’t want you to go alone?" She asked and someone cleared their throat in the doorway.

"No. Someone actually wanted to make sure more rumours of Andrew and my brother-in-law didn’t spread, so I made sure that we were going together. Are you finished, or does Dr. Gates need you for longer?" Maxwell asked as he stepped into the room, looking hot as hell.

Andrew had to make sure he wasn’t drooling as he looked over his sexy partner. He hadn’t put on his hat and scarf yet, and instead looked like a businessman ready to go for a smoke break. The leather gloves really finished the look.

Richard chuckled.

"Andy, pull yourself together man. You’re already his property." Richard teased him, and Andrew flushed, but couldn’t help but smile to himself as he went about closing all of his programs. "I don’t need him anymore, Mr. Beckett. We aren’t at a crunch point yet, so no overtime for Dr. Nice anytime soon. I hope you two have fun at the very least. We’ll see you two at my parents place for 6 tomorrow, yeah?" Richard asked carefully and Maxwell nodded.

"Should we bring anything? Andrew hasn’t really said anything in that regard." Maxwell asked and Richard laughed.

"My Mom would be tickled with anything you brought, as long as it isn’t food. Bringing food when she’s promised to cook is a bit of an insult in her eyes." Maxwell made a thoughtful noise.

"Noted. So...flowers? Or would your parents like something more expensive?" Maxwell asked and Richard laughed.

"Flowers or a plant would be perfect. Dad has a green thumb, so he’d like that." Andrew paused, pulling on his jacket after he’d shut off his computer.

"Is he still into miniature bonsais?" Andrew asked and Richard tsked. He gave Andrew a slow one over, his expression dark.

"So you can remember that about him, but couldn’t remember to call?" Andrew flinched, while Dr. Piper bit her lip, trying not to laugh.

"I, uh, well-" Andrew cut himself off, sighing and Maxwell chuckled.

"Go easy on him, alright? He’s already nervous. Save it for tomorrow, Dr. Gates." Maxwell teased, throwing a slight smile towards Andrew. Richard laughed, pushing his chair back to reach out his hand, offering it to Maxwell to shake. Maxwell took it, and both men smiled slightly at each other.

"You really do know him. I’ll see you two tomorrow, and yes, he does still like those damn plants. Took over my room with them. I feel like I’m in a damn forest whenever I have to spend the night." He complained and Maxwell chuckled, releasing his hand to take Andrew’s in his own. Andrew flushed, but was tickled pink that Maxwell never hesitated to hold his hand, wrap his arm around him, and simply touch him.

He may not like other forms of pda, but he didn’t mind something simple. It warmed Andrew’s heart that he was going this far for him.

"Don’t act like you’re not the one who bought him most of those." Andrew muttered, squeezing Maxwell’s hand. Richard huffed, crossing his arms, his large chest appearing even bigger.

"Ha ha. Jokes on you, most of his current collection is from Jordan. After the Great Bug Invasion, he had to practically start from scratch. Jordan was the one who went out with him and helped him find new varieties. That’s Rose’s partner." Richard clarified for both Maxwell and Andrew. Andrew had been caught up, but Maxwell hadn’t.

"Well, I look forward to his collection then. My maternal grandmother quite liked them as well, so I have some understanding of bonsais." Maxwell said and it looked like Richard paled slightly. Andrew chuckled.

"We should really head out now. We don’t want to be late." Andrew said while Maxwell shrugged.

"What are they going to do? Say no to the people they lease the space from? I doubt it." Andrew when white hearing that news. Maxwell’s family owned it?

Richard and Dr. Piper seemed shocked as well, but Maxwell slid a sly look towards him. "After all, that part of the area was developed by the A & D firm. You’ll have to let Kim know if they piss you off." Andrew thought his legs were going to give out.

"What?" He demanded and Maxwell laughed. He raised Andrew’s hand to his lips, pressing a kiss there, his eyes dancing.

"Did you seriously not look over your portfolio that Kim gave you? Or did you not understand it? Should I have gone through it with you?" Maxwell teased and Andrew swallowed. "They pay you rent, Andrew. Granted, it’s divided between you, Kim, and the other large holders of the firm, but it’s true. Your Mom was prolific." Richard seemed shocked himself.

Andrew had told him a bit about what his Mom had been up to, but if Andrew was surprised, so was he.

"Holy. You’re like, rich rich." Richard said and Maxwell chuckled.

"Andrew is basically a trust fund kid now. Isn’t that cute?" Maxwell said with a smile. "Now, we really should get going. I’ll drive this time. You seem too worked up, and I know the area better." Maxwell said, tugging on his hand. "Goodnight, everyone." Maxwell told them, and Andrew waved to them numbly as he left.

Dr. Piper was grinning from ear to ear, waving, while Richard still seemed in shock. He did wave, and Andrew had a feeling that would be a topic for tomorrow.

Maxwell dragged Andrew to the elevator, happy, pleased with himself while Andrew was still grappling with the knowledge that his Mom had gotten her claws into a part of town that was supposed to be an inherited plot of land.

"Do you...think she got it from my father?" Andrew asked and Maxwell snorted.

"Doubtful. Probably Kim, or someone from the main family. She did an amazing flip on it. Never would have expected it from an accountant, but also, good for her. Your Mother appears to have had a good head on her shoulders. A shame she caught the attention of such a waste of space as your father, but I am grateful that you exist." Maxwell said and Andrew felt his lips curl up. He nodded.

"She was a good woman." Andrew said, the elevator doors opening and the two of them headed through the lobby and to their car. Andrew went for the driver’s side out of habit and Maxwell pushed him towards the passenger side aggressively.

"Absolutely not. You are going to be a passenger princess for the drive out. And no commenting on my driving either. I don’t often drive, and if you say something mean I’ll never drive us anywhere ever again." Maxwell warned and Andrew froze, before a silly, goofy smile crossed his face.

"Okay. Can I get a kiss?" Andrew asked and Maxwell grumbled.

"In the car. It’s fucking freezing outside."
