Homeless
An Offer (Alex POV)
Alex POV
“I’m sure it is fantastic, just like y-“ God dammit. I almost fucked up. I felt the heat crawl in my cheeks.
“Just like what?” Jack asked with a smirk.
I tried to get away by mumbling the thing I had wanted to say but Jack was not content with that.
“What? I couldn’t hear you,” he said, winking at me. I shook my head. No, this was not going to happen.
“Pretty please?” he was begging now. I kind of liked that, I must admit. Mhm. Alright I would tell him…
“Just like you,” I whispered. He giggled and blushed. I couldn’t help but laugh. He looked me deep in the eyes and I felt like I was drawn to him and his eyes in such a special way and just…
Something buzzed and made beeping noises. My phone. God dammit. I unwrapped myself from the blanket and traipsed to my room. It was still on my bed where I had left it yesterday.
It was my friend Julie. She was a nice girl, always making others laugh and very helpful whenever you needed someone. She looked good, blue eyes, blonde hair, short and a bit round maybe but I thought she was just right. She had a son, Alan, a cute little ginger who was now 3 years old. His dad had left her but she seemed to be happy he was gone.
“Alex? It’s me, Julie.”
“Hey Julie. What’s up?”
“I got tickets for a special Home Alone show at the cinema but Alan fell ill so I can’t go. I know you like that film so I wanted to ask if you wanted to go instead of me,” she offered. I was stoked. But wait…
“I’d love to go but you only have one ticket, right?”
“No, I have two, I wanted to meet someone there…” she said. This was great! I could take Jack with me!
“Uuh, who? And I’ll happily take two, I have met someone new,” I said.
“Just some guy, and who are you taking with you?” she asked. I decided to not tell her everything.
“I’ve made a new friend and he’s got some troubles with his home at the moment so he’s living with me at the moment,” I replied. That was almost the full truth.
“Nice nice. Will you come and pick them up at my place?”
“Sure thing, when is it?” I said with a big smile.
“The show starts at 7 pm so you might want to come over at 6.30.”
“Alright, perfect! See you!”
“Later,” Julie replied and ended the call.
I threw my phone on the bed and myself too. I needed some time to think before I did anything else now.
I had always thought I was a straight guy. Sure, there were hot guys but I had never wanted to seriously have sex or start a relationship with one. But now there was Jack and a new feeling were there. Feelings I normally only had with girls. I had nothing against homosexuality; I was probably the last person on earth to be called homophobic. But this was confusing me.
The more I thought about it, the more one thought manifested itself in my mind: “Let it be.” For the moment I would just let everything go as it wanted to go and when it was time to decide, I would. I didn’t need to label anything. I was okay just the way I was.
With this thought, I skipped into the living room and over to Jack who was lying on the bed, looking dreamy.
“Jack, I got tickets for a show of my favourite film tonight!” I squealed.
“Oh, really? What film is it?” he asked back, sounding quite interested. I grinned.
“Home Alone.” Jack broke out into a wide smile.
“I’ve always wanted to see that film! It sounded great,” he said.
“Then be excited because it is in fact great,” I said and plopped down on the sofa. I felt like hugging him so I held out my arms and he happily responded by hugging me.
“I’m sure it is fantastic, just like y-“ God dammit. I almost fucked up. I felt the heat crawl in my cheeks.
