-Alex POV-

Monday morning. Back to the salon. I'd questioned myself a lot over the weekend about why I was so upset about Jack's question. Was it the fact he stereotyped me, judged me or the fact that I was sick of being accused of the same bullshit again and again? I quickly confirmed it was all of the above.

I had a shower the night before so I just threw on a beanie, tee and black skinnies and headed out, not bothering to eat breakfast, all the alcohol induced vomit made me think twice about food now.

I got to the salon at 8 and set up my station preparing for the long day ahead, I had wedding hair to do, a few complete re-styles and a couple of touch ups. I was heading up the stairs when my boss Rachel spoke to me. ''Alex, your first appointment is here.'' I turned on my heel, confused as I thought I didn't have anyone in until about 10, but oh well, I just thought of the money, and that's when I felt my stomach drop, it was Jack. Jack fucking Barakat.

I rolled my eyes, and nodded my head towards the basins so I could start with a wash. ''Lex, I realy didn't mean to offend you last week, I swear, and I'm sorry.'' He said as I rinsed his hair and applying a strawberry shampoo. I just sighed.

''Okay, Jack,'' I said in a sarcastic tone. ''One, don't fucking call me Lex. Two, apology NOT accepted, how dare you assume anything, you don't know me at all.'' I said, trying to keep my voice down.

''Okay, well, I'm sorry......okay?''

''Whatever, man.'' I retorted. I led him up to my station in absolute silence, passing Rachel on the way, she scowled at me for not following one of the basic rules of being a hairdresser.....always make chit chat with customers. As I sat Jack down in the chair, I rolled my eyes again, a reluctantly spoke to him. ''So, what have you been up to?'' I asked.

''Not a lot, writing mainly, few Ravens' games.....w-what about you?'' he mumbled.

''Oh, just the usual,'' I said, as I was glad he asked because I had a plan to set him straight. ''You know, parties, drinking, sex.....with girls.''

I saw him look down at the palm of his hands, ''cool.'' he said bluntly, ''sounds fun.''

I smiled at myself. I saw that I had obviously crushed his petty little fucking man crush or whatever was going on, but I didn't really care, at least I set the record straight, I couldn't give a damn if the guy broke down crying, at least he knew the truth.

''So how's the music thing going?'' I asked with genuine interest.

''I had writers block so it pretty much sucked,'' he said, raising his head to look at me again. ''No awesome band top this time then?'' he asked, trying to lighten the mood. I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. ''No, not today, most of my clothes are dirty and I couldn't be fucked to wash anything...'' I was interrupted by Rachel telling me to watch my language, and I just laughed again.

''Hey, Le-Alex, do you wanna maybe hang out later, maybe go get some coffee?''

Fucking hell. Is he really trying to ask me out? What a dick, I thought I made myself clear. ''No Jack, no I don't. I don't care that you're famous, I'm going to treat you like any other person...and at that, any other gay person, and I won't go anywhere with you, because I don't want to date you, okay Jack?'' I let out all in one breath.

''Woah, you think I want to date YOU? Please, don't make me laugh, you're so not my type.'' he said. I was relieved but kind of offended.

''Please, you'd be lucky to have me, I'm pretty damn awesome, to bad I'm not one of you.''

I finished styling his hair and walked over to the desk so he could pay, and this time, I was going to let him pay, because last week's appointment had to be taken out of my wages.

''Just as friends Alex,'' he said, seeming to get slightly annoyed at me. ''Musician to musician, maybe I could give you some tips?''

That was a good offer actually, but did I want to give him the wrong idea by going? No. But I wasn't going to turn music down, not ever.

''Okay, fine. Meet me here at 7 tonight.'' I replied.
