Don't Let This Memory Fade Away.
Chapter 3
Alex woke up the next morning, with a thin layer of sweat covering his forehead and his chest. The sun peeking through his blinds. It was Wednesday, and Alex got to wake up later, while his parents were at work. He got up, and decided to go take a shower. He did some washing, and thought about how excited, but nervous, he was to start work. Jack was the only thing on his mind. How would he talk to him? What if he was homophobic? What if he had a girlfriend? He couldn’t be gay…he couldn’t like guys… not even the tiniest bit. Jack seemed straight. And Alex wasn’t even out of the closet for Bi-sexual. It worried him just thinking about it.
After some washing, Alex hopped out of the shower. He dried himself off, and shook his head of any access water. His hair was naturally a little wavy, and he decided to be lazy and let it air dry as he sat down on his bed and grabbed his guitar. He always played when his parents weren’t home. He hated them hearing him play, because he always sang along and thought he sucked ass. He is just embarrassed of what they would think.
After his hair dried a bit, he traipsed back to the bathroom, and styled his hair to perfect, as always. His hair was his favorite thing about himself, along with his ever so sexy V-line. He was always proud of that.
“I need to tell them… but how..? They keep trying to hook me up with that bitch Lisa…” Alex muttered under his breath. He didn’t like how his parents always tried to hook him up with the bitchiest people. He liked this girl, Tay, a bit. But she was Alex’s best friend. She was the only one who knew he was Bi-sexual. He always leaned towards girls, because it took him 2 years to finally let himself admit to being Bi. There was yet a guy to catch his attention, though. But this Jack guy. There was something different about him.

“Hey Tay. Come over? I wanna talk to you.” Alex had called Tay after an hour of practicing guitar.
“Sure Lex. What is it?”
“I want to see that pretty little face of yours.” Alex flirted a little.
“Well, ill be on my way in 10 minutes then.” Tay responded.
“See you then.” Alex said with a smile while hanging up the phone.
Alex flirted with Tay all the time. She flirted back sometimes, but usually when he asked her to come over, he wanted to talk to her about something. And she caught that in his tone. He wanted to talk about his new job, and how summer was going, and about his parents, and about…..about Jack…
Tay showed up 15 minutes ago, and Alex and her were making out on his bed. His hand was traveling around her back and up her hips. She was basically on-top of him, and had her tongue down his throat. He remembered what he wanted to speak to her about, so he broke the kiss and sighed heavily.
“Alright Lex, what’s going on with you? You flirt with me, make out with me, then act all depressed and stuff. What is it? I know there is something.” Tay spoke up.
“Its nothing…” Alex sighed. Jack. Jack. Jack. Jack.
“Who is it..? you can tell me. I’m your best friend.”
“I got that job, at the coffee shop.” Alex finally spoke after a long pause.
“…and?”
“I met someone.”
“Who?”
“A guy…”
“OOOOOOOOOOOOOH OH MY GOD WHO IS IT OMG LEX THIS IS SERIOUS YOU FINALLY FOUND A GUY WHO WHOOO?” Tay screamed with excitement.
“Oh my god calm down!! Haha…His name is Jack…He goes to our school, ya know? He is a junior just like us.”
“…Jack what?” Tay questioned.
“Not sure what his last name is. But he is tall, and lanky, and has baby skunk hair kind of, and he has really gorgeous features.”
“That’s Jack Barakat. Oh my god Lex, He’s a sweetheart! He’s Bi also.”
Alex’s heart stopped. Jack was Bi? Is that why he looked so nervous the other day? Oh my god. What if he had a chance?
“We need to go.” Alex jumped up.
“Where?”
“To the coffee shop. I want to scout things out!” Alex said seriously. Tay laughed.
“Haha oh-kay…”
Alex and Tay got out of her car, and were walking up to the small shop. Alex knew Jack was working today, since he informed him the other day. Alex was extremely nervous.
“Hold my hand. I’m scared.” Alex whined, making a pouty face at Tay.
“Whatever loser,” Tay said smiling, and grabbed his hand. “You’ll be fine. Trust me.”
They entered the Coffee Shop, clasping each others hands. Alex started looking around for Jack, and saw him at the front.
“Hey Jack!” Alex said kind of nervously.
“Nice to see you, Alex,” Jack said with a smile, it suddenly fading when he saw Alex and Tays hands being held. “O-oh umm… do you two want anything…?” Fuck. He has a girlfriend.
“Ummmm… can I get a Iced Chai tea?” Alex spoke up. “Tay?” Alex asked looking at his best friend.
“Oh! Haha, can I get a green tea frappuchino with extra whipped cream please?” Tay responded.
“Coming right up.” Jack said, with a kind of depressed tone. He was disappointed that Alex had a girlfriend. I mean, they were definantly holding hands.
Alex and Tay went to sit down in a booth.
“So, you know him?” Alex said.
“Yeah I know Jack. Well, I know of him. He doesn’t really know me. Guessing as he didn’t recognize me just now.”
“Hmmm…” Alex sighed.
Jack walked up to their booth and handed their drinks to them.
“Iced Chai for you…and Green tea Frap with extra whipped cream for the girlfriend.” He said.
What? Girlfriend? Why would he think such a th….oh my god. We were holding hands. Fuck. Tay isn’t my girlfriend! What do I do now… Fuck. This is great.
