Alex’s POV

I was at the club working when the boss came over.
“Can I talk to you Alex.” My boss, Ness said and I nodded as I looked at Alec who nodded to say it was okay and I followed Ness to somewhere quieter.
“Where was you last week Alex?” Ness asked and I sighed as I looked down.
“I was stupid and spent the night on the streets, I got beaten up and ended up in hospital and I couldn’t move for a couple of days.” I said and I felt Ness make me look at her.
“Why didn’t you come here Alex? We could of put a roof over your head for the night, we’re family and we look out for each other.” Ness said and I shrugged my shoulders.
“I was just talking to the guy who is currently living in my apartment and I just wanted some space so I guess I just went to the streets.” I said and Ness sighed.
“Is that the rich guy? Alex you should know that being with rich people end in disappointment.” Ness said and I looked at her.
“I’m not with him, just toying with the idea of leaving my shit box apartment and moving into his. But he doesn’t seem like the rest of them. He actually cares about me.” I said and Ness smiled at me and rested her hand on my cheek.
“Just know that if it goes tits up, we’re here for you okay. Nobody is going to touch our baby bird.” Ness said using my nickname everyone called me since I was the youngest out of everyone.
“Also, if you get yourself cleaned up I might even let you get on that stage.” Ness said which made me smile.
“But you need to get yourself cleaned up, none of this being beaten up crap okay, move in with this dude and if you go a month without going to the streets and being beaten up then you can get on the stage with the girls.” Ness said and I nodded.
“I won’t let you down Ness.” I said and Ness smiled at me.
“Now go and give everyone drinks out there.” Ness said and I nodded as I walked off and went back to behind the bar.
“Everything okay?” Alec asked and I smiled at him.
“Yeah, everything is good.” I said as I got back to what I was doing.

It was nearly the end of the night when Jack came into the club like he always did when I was working for some reason.
“You know, I might have to get a restraining order on you.” I said as I got Jack his normal drink.
“Yeah but if you did that then you would t move in with me.” Jack said and I just rolled my eyes at him.
“I haven’t agreed to moving in yet.” I said and I felt Alec look at me.
“I have customers to serve.” I said as I turned round and walked off and stood next to Alec.
“Never said you was going to move in with him.” Alec said and I looked at him.
“I haven’t agreed to move in with him, he offered as he got his place back and I have until the end of the week to make my mind up.” I said and Alec chuckled as he stood close to me.
“I say go for it, if I was gay and in your shoes I would go for it.” Alec said and I rolled my eyes as I put the drinks on the tray and took them to the people who ordered the drinks.

Jack was still waiting by the time the club was shut and he was giving me a lift home.
“I can walk you know, won’t be the first or last time I walk home from work.” I said and Jack smiled as he caught hold of my arm and pulled me over to his car and I found myself pinned between Jack and the car.
“We’re not going back to yours.” Jack said.
“Then where are we going then?” I asked and Jack smiled at me.
“We’re going back to mine, I’ve just got all the stuff delivered and the all the work people are gone.” Jack said and I was still confused.
“But I haven’t agreed to move in with you though.” I said and Jack chuckled.
“I’ll let you see my place and let you agree then.” Jack said as he moved and opened the car door for me which made me smile at him as I got in the car and Jack shut the door behind me and I looked down and couldn’t help but smile to myself.
Jack got in the car and we went to Jacks place.

We pulled up to the apartment block and I just looked at it as I got out the car as Jack handed his key to one of the door people who parks the cars.
I looked at Jack as he stood beside me and I felt his hand on my back and gently pushed me as he carried on walking into the building.
We got to the elevator and stepped inside.
“So what floor are you on then?” I asked and I watched Jack push a button which was for the very top.
“Just how much money do you have?” I asked as I looked at Jack.
“I have plenty.” Jack said as we stepped out the elevator and Jack got the key and unlocked the door and pushed the door open.
“Welcome home.” Jack said and I frowned at him.
“I haven’t agreed on living with you.” I said as I followed Jack inside.
“Not yet anyway.” Jack said as he turned round to look at me.
“There is no way you live here.” I said as I looked round this huge apartment from where I was standing.
“Well I do.” Jack said as he walked towards the kitchen.
“Want a drink?” Jack asked as I followed him to the kitchen as I carried on looking round the place.
“A beer if you have any.” I said as I stood when I got to the island which was right in the middle of the kitchen.
“Well I don’t drink beer I’m afraid, but I can offer you wine or some Jack Daniels.” Jack said and I looked at him.
“Well look at you and this fancy living shit.” I said and Jack chuckled as he got two wine glasses out and a bottle of wine out the fridge and Jack walked round the island carrying the glasses and the bottle of wine.
“Follow me.” Jack said as he walked past me and I followed him and we must of ended up in the sitting room.
I stood still and looked round the room but I couldn’t take my eyes off the huge tv that was on the wall but my eyes soon found its way to the jukebox.
“You have a jukebox?” I asked as Jack sat down on one of the two huge sofas he had in the sitting room.
“Yeah.” Jack said and I felt him watching me as I walked over to the jukebox.
“My mother had one, but we had to sell it to pay for the funeral.” I said sadly as I looked at the jukebox and the music Jack listened to.
“And you listen to vinyls. My god you are literally already on the way of getting into my pants.” I said and Jack laughed.
“Well that’s either a good thing or a bad thing.” Jack said and I looked at him.
“Trust me, right now it’s a good thing.” I said and Jack smiled.
“I’ve always wanted to have vinyls but their too expressive for my broke ass.” I said and I walked away from the jukebox and walked over to the sofa where Jack was sitting and sat down.
“This place seriously beats my dump of a apartment.” I said as I took the glass of wine off Jack and sipped on it.

We sat in a comfortable silence when Jack spoke again.
“Follow me.” Jack said as he stood up and offered me his ha d which I took and Jack helped me to stand and he took me outside.
“Holy shit.” I said quietly as I looked at the view of the city below us.
“This is amazing, why would anyone give this up?” I said as I looked at Jack and he looked lost inside his mind which made me look down and that is when I realised I was slowly getting feeling for Jack.
I shook my head as I stepped back which made Jack look at me.
“I’m not going to be your fall back Jack.” I said and Jack frowned at me.
“What you talking about?” Jack asked.
“I can see you still have feelings for Sam. I’m not going to be that person who you run to when you want sex.” I said and Jack shook his head.
“I feel nothing for Sam. I don’t see you as someone to run to when I want sex, I generally care for you.” Jack said.
“Don’t lie to me! I saw your face just a second ago, you still care for him. You’re just using me to take your mind of Sam!” I said loudly.
“Alex believe me when I say I want nothing to do with that man. That man just used me for my money and he cheated on me.” Jack said and I shook my head.
“I don’t believe it! Why would anyone want to give all this up? Why would anyone not want to be with you?” I said.
“Please believe me, some people do want to give this up and not everyone wants to be with me.” Jack said and I looked at him.
“I don’t want to be someone’s sloppy seconds for once in my life, I don’t want to the secret or the slut that married people sleep with. I want to mean something to someone, I just want to feel loved and wanted. I won’t be with someone who is still hung up on their ex.” I said as I turned round and walked off and I heard Jack following me.

“Alex Wait.” Jack said as I picked my jacket up and went to put it on but Jack got hold of it and threw it somewhere and I turned round and looked at him.
Jack walked over and cupped my face and kissed me hard which took me by complete surprise but I kissed him back.
“You don’t have to be sloppy seconds or the secret anymore.” Jack said quietly.
“It’s too soon for you. I’m probably not the best person for you to be with.” I whispered as I moved away from Jack.
“Okay yes it’s too soon for me, but if you can wait for me then I’ll be here when I’m ready.” Jack said and I looked at him.
“I can wait if I have too. But it better be worth it, I’m not going to stop selling my ass if it turns out your actually shit.” I said and Jack laughed.
“Well I can assure you I’m not shit, so well you reviginize yourself you can image how good it’ll be.” Jack said and I rolled my eyes.
“I’m holding you to that one. As for the reviginizing myself, my ass might be but my hand will be getting a lot more action round my dick.” I said bluntly which made Jack smile at me.
“I have no feelings for Sam, if anything I’m more hurt than anything else.” Jack said and I nodded at him.
“I understand.” I said quietly as I looked down.
Jack walked forward and caught hold of my hand which made me look at him.
Jack walked and I followed him to the sitting room where we both sat on the sofa.
“I feel like we should have a heart to heart.” Jack said and I looked down and sighed.
“I don’t want to bring my past back up, but if you want me too then I’ll allow it I guess.” I said quietly and Jack lent forward and kissed my forehead which made me smile as it’s been so long since someone has done anything like this to me.

I looked at Jack and I smiled at Jack which he returned and I sighed loudly and began to talk.
“So my mum died when I was younger and my dad was never in my life so when my mum died I went into care. I stayed in care until I was 17 when I had enough and just left my home town and came here. I stayed on the streets until I was 21 where I found my shit box apartment and I moved there, then it’s only been about a month when I started at the club.” I said and looked down.
“How was being care for you?” Jack asked and I looked at him.
“Some where good and some where bad. It wasn’t until my 6th foster family I felt settled and felt like I was part of a family, but that was before they found out I was gay and then kicked me out, after that I just gave up with the system and went to the streets that’s where my family is and always will be.” I said as I messed with the glass in my hand.
“Has anything bad happened to you?” Jack asked and I sniffed slightly as I looked away from Jack as I felt a tear roll down my cheek.
“Lex, you can tell me. I might not be able to do anything to get justice for you but I can be that shoulder to cry on and that person who you can talk to.” Jack said and I shook my head.
“Where’s the bathroom?” I asked quietly.
“Up the stairs, second door on your left.” Jack said and I nodded as I got up and headed to the bathroom.
I walked into the bathroom and shut the door and locked it behind me and walked Vera to the toilet and sat on it and I started to cry.

I don’t know how long I was in there but I was startled by Jack knocking on the door.
“Alex, is everything okay in there?” Jack asked softly through the door.
“Yeah, I’m okay.” I sniffed as I stood up and looked at myself in the mirror and you could tell that I had been crying but I splashed some water over my face to see if it would help but it didn’t so I dried my face and walked over to the door and unlocked it and opened the door and looked up at Jack.
“You’ve been crying.” Jack said softly as he cupped my face.
“It doesn’t matter.” I whispered and Jack smiled sadly at me.
“It does matter Alex.” Jack said softly and I moved my face out of his hand and I looked down.
“I’ve learnt that nobody cares and if they acted like they cared then they just wanted my ass.” I said quietly as I walked out the bathroom and I felt Jack watching me.
“Someone does care Alex, I care and it’s not to get into your pants.” Jack said after me and I stopped walking and I turned round and looked at him.
“They say that as well, but everyone is the same.” I said as I walked off and went to the sitting room and I finished the glass of wine I had and I picked the bottle up and went outside and looked at the view as I drank the wine.

I was thankful that Jack gave me some space and I don’t know how long I was stood outside on my own for but I felt something being put over my shoulders which made me jump and look where Jack was stood beside me smoking a cigarette.
“I’ve made the bed up in the spare bedroom for you.” Jack said softly.
“You didn’t have to, the sofas look pretty comfy to sleep on.” I said as I wrapped the blanket round me more and I had a mouthful of wine.
We stood in a comfortable silence until Jack spoke.
“I was with Sam for 5 years and engaged for a year. I came home one day and found him fucking someone in our bed.” Jack said quietly and I looked at Jack.
“I thought I had found the person I wanted to be with for the rest of my life but it turned out that he was just using me for money and to have the luxury of what I could bring to him.” Jack said as he looked down.
“You can still find that person, someone who doesn’t want you just for your money.” I said quietly and Jack looked at me.
“I know.” Jack whispered as he looked back out to the view and I did the same.
“I came from the same background as you, not much money and in and out of care.” Jack said and I looked back at him again.
“What happened to your family?” I asked quietly.
“They got killed when I was younger, my older brother took me in and brought me up until he got killed as well. I was 16 when I was put into care.” Jack said and he looked at me and smiled sadly.
“I’m sorry for your loss Jack.” I said quietly and Jack looked down.
“You said the night I first came to the club that the sadness would leave in time.” Jack said and I nodded.
“Yeah, you need time to heal and slowly you start to heal I guess.” I said and Jack smiled at me which I returned and looked back out to the view.
“I can say that in the last 23 years the sadness hasn’t left.” Jack said softly as he flicked the cigarette away and turned round as he lent against the wall.
“Maybe you haven’t found the right person who can help take it away.” I said quietly and Jack smiled at me.
“How do you cope with it?” Jack asked and I sighed as I looked down.
“Sex and alcohol.” I said honestly as I turned round and walked inside and I headed towards where I hoped the spare room was.

I walked into the room and smiled to myself as it was bigger than my apartment and it was a lot nicer than my place.
“I guess I’ll be seeing you in the morning.” Jack said from the door and I turned to look at him.
“Yeah I’ll see you in the morning.” I said and Jack smiled and walked off and I walked over to the door and watched what room Jack went into and once I knew what room he went into I walked back into the room and walked over to the bed to find that Jack had put comfy clothes out for me which made me smile as I looked round the room and I walked over to a set of door and opened it where I found a bare walk in closet.
“My god.” I whispered to myself as I turned round and frowned to myself as I walked over to the other door and found a bathroom.
“Now this place is much nice than mine.” I said quietly to myself as I turned round and walked over to the bed and sat on it.
“Only thing missing is a tv.” I said quietly as I stood up and walked out of my room and walked towards Jacks room.
I opened the door and found Jack slowly falling asleep in bed with the tv on.
I smiled to myself as I walked over to the bed and went to the side which Jack wasn’t on and got into bed which made Jack sigh loudly.
“Why you in my bed?” Jack asked sleepily.
“I got to have the tv on to fall asleep too and it was too quiet for my liking.” I said as I got comfy.
“Don’t blame me if we end up spooning then.” Jack whispered which made me chuckle as I rolled onto my side and saw Jack was facing me but had fallen asleep.

“I wouldn’t mind.” I whispered as I watched the tv as I very slowly fell asleep.
