Chapter 4: First Encounter
Daniel's POV:
I'm really upset! Literally, why the fuck would that old hag scream at me for? Nothing. Totally nothing! And then that old man believed her and those brats' lies! Great. I hate them.
Right now I'm going back to my place. Couldn't stand being anywhere else anymore! Even worse, my assistant and friend Ryan keeps on telling me to finish my company's work. Fuck it!
All of a sudden, someone bumps into me, hard. Hurts like hell! I fell down with that person. I am about to give him a piece of my mind, but then our eyes met. Oh god! That's a very cute handsome face! Wait, that sounds so gay. But he looked terrified and messed up. I got up and helped him.
"You good?"
"..."
Nothing. Just silence. Great.
"Oh well then, let's go, Ryan."
He pulled my sleeve like a little kid, muttering, "No, please."
"Hum? What?"
"Please... Help me..."
And then he fainted. I caught him just in time before his head hit the street. I put my arms around him and carried him bridal style.
Ryan stared at me in shock. "Bro, what? You never help anyone. So~ What's with the sudden change?"
"None of your business."
He shrugged.
"Where's the goddamn car?"
"Are you blind? Just over there. See."
"Oh." I muttered out and quickly opened the car door.
I guess I should bring this guy with me. I mean, who else would help him?
I put him down and sat next to him. Ryan stared in shock, but learned not to question it. He got in the passenger seat and opened his phone to check messages.
The ride was calm. Just peace and quiet. Just then that guy rested his head on my shoulder. I turned my head to give him a good look. Damn, he sure is hot. Those soft pink reddish lips, long curved eyelashes, soft and smooth blond strands. No, stop this! I'm very much straight! And this is just a random guy who bumped into me on the street.
He moved a little and opened his eyes. Our eyes touched once again. He was tired and dazed. But he recognized me. His mouth muttered out a polite thank you, then closed his eyes. Damnit! He fell asleep again. I was gonna talk to him, but oh well. I also closed my eyes and tried to rest. "It'll be a long ride." I thought. After all, my house (actually a mansion) was quite far from here, in the suburbs. I love peace and quiet!
I think I fell asleep. I was woken up by Ryan when we reached my place. I got up, but failed. That cute guy next to me was now on my lap. He had fallen, I think. Oh well, I didn't mind.
I gently picked him up and carried him in, trying not to wake him. I put him on my bed and covered the blanket for him. Then I went out to talk with Ryan about business and life? I mean, he's the guy who actually understands me and my family situation. His family wasn't perfect either. Mother cheated, Father turned insane, he and his siblings were left behind. We kinda became close friends because of that.
"Yeah, I get that. He's just, upset with you about that, all the time! Oh, I gotta go. See you tomorrow, Dan!"
"Yeah, bye. Good night, man!"
I got up and headed to the bathroom. Might as well take a shower to cool down some feelings.
Alexander's POV:
I opened my eyes. But wait. This...is...not...my...room! I tried to get up, but fell down immediately. God! Why am I so weak? Suddenly, a soft, calming deep voice cut through my thoughts, "You awake?" I turned my head towards him. Woah... He's so handsome. Dark brown and slightly black hair, raven mixed purple eyes, and a very attractive face and body...
"Why aren't you answering?"
"I'm sorry..."
"Tch... What are you apologizing for? And next, how are you feeling now?"
"Ah, I'm good now... Thank you..."
"It's alright."
"Where am I?"
"My room."
This man was so kind and nice to me. He even let me into his house. A total stranger.
"Now, tell me. Why were you like that?"
"Huh...? Like what?"
"When you bumped into me, idiot."
"Oh... about that..." I trailed off. How am I supposed to tell him? We weren't even close! Just met.
"Ah... I was facing a lot of problems... Work and life... I guess... Sorry for bumping into you... I wasn't in my conscious state at that time."
"Eh, that's fine. Yeah, everyone faces that."
He went quiet.
I felt awkward now. This was his bed, yet I'm just lying on it as if it's mine.
"Well, I think I should leave now. Sorry for bothering you, sir!"
"No, I don't mind. Besides, it's late, 11 p.m., I think."
"Oh... Wait!!! It's THAT late?!" I was surprised.
"Hm. So I guess you should stay."
"Eh? Thanks, but I should sit instead. I'm not sleepy."
"No, I'm not sleepy either. But you're tired, so rest."
"Oh... if you insist... What's your name, sir?"
"I'm Daniel."
"I'm Alexander! But you can call me Alex for short. Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too. How old are you?"
"I'm 21. How about you?"
"22."
"Cool!"
My stomach growled.
"Are you hungry?"
God, this is so embarrassing!
"Maybe?"
"Then, come with me. I'll make you something."
