Chapter Three
Daniel’s POV
Is someone squeezing my head? God, it hurts! Oww! Damn, just fell face-down off the bed. I shouldn’t have opened that second bottle of wine. How did I get in bed? Where is Alex? I hope he is alright. I don’t remember saying good-bye to him. I can’t believe how much I let loose with him last night. He was so nice, and I just couldn’t look away from that smile he carried. Alright, I am thinking too much about him. I should probably take a shower and clean the house.
Daniel stood up slowly while rubbing his temples that are pounding him to death. He walked with bleary eyes to the bathroom and stripped off the clothes he had on turning on the shower. He immediately woke up when the cold water started to hit his skin. He finished and walked to the kitchen to find the dishes nicely stacked on the drying rack. He smiled when he saw that he didn’t need to do the dishes. It was also then he noticed the note on the counter in the kitchen. He took a more careful look and saw that it was Alex’s contact information. He wondered if he should call Alex, seeing that he never really got to say good-bye to him. I wonder if he is still sleeping. Probably not, seeing that it’s noon. Daniel made himself a cup of coffee and drank it with some Advils holding the piece of paper in his hand. He debated whether to call or not, and then finally decided to give the other a ring and see what he is doing.
“Hello?”
“Uhn, hi, Alex?”
“Yeah?”
“It’s Daniel.”
“Oh, hey! What’s up? How you feelin’? You pretty much passed out by the end of the night, I put you in bed and then left. You having a hangover?”
“Yeah, a very bad one. Well, the worst one yet considering I’ve never gotten one before.”
“Really?”
“Really. I was just wondering if you want to do something today. I really have no plans and I don’t want to stay home.”
“How about a movie? We don’t have to do anything for a movie, and you will definitely not get a hangover from it either.”
“Sounds interesting. What movie?”
“I have to check, I’ve got several in mind.”
♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♪♫
“Two tickets for “-----,” please.”
“Alex, here is ten dollars.”
“No, no keep it. This is my treat.”
“But…”
“How about you get the snacks?”
“Uhn, sure. What do you want?”
“Just twizzlers.”
“Okay. Nothing to drink?”
“Nope.”
The two found a seat about the center of the theater and sat through the movie. They were silent, and afterwards they went out to dinner at a restaurant close to the theater. They got a table next to the front window, which they are able to look out at the small cluster of stores around. They didn’t really talk about anything, but the silence was bearable.
“Alex?” Alex stops eating immediately as he heard the familiar yet annoying voice. He finally looks up to see the boss’s son Evan standing by the table. He forced a smile onto his face as he got slapped in the back.
“Hey, Evan.”
“What’s up? So this is what you’ve been up to. Out with your boyfriend. Lucky guy. Hi, I am Evan, a very close friend of Alex.”
“H…hello. I am Daniel.” Daniel was still furrowing his brow when he heard himself being called a boyfriend of Alex\'s. What does he mean?
Alex sat there in silence, his face becoming slightly flushed when he heard the word ‘boyfriend’. He definitely didn’t want Daniel to find out about his sexuality this way.
“Evan, can you excuse us, we are trying to eat dinner here.”
“Whoa! Alright, just trying to make friendly conversation, but just say so if you don’t want me here.” Evan leaned down close to Alex’s ear and whispered something that made Alex become even redder and walked away.
“Please disregard whatever he just said, Daniel. He’s a jerk, and he doesn’t know it.”
“I understand. But what does he mean when he says that I am your boyfriend?”
“I thought it would be obvious now, but are you really that naïve?”
“What?”
“I\'m gay.”
“What?”
“I am gay!”
Daniel sat in the seat in shock, he didn’t know what he can say to respond to that. He simply allowed the idea to sink in slowly. Gradually he came back from his trance-like state and said slowly.
“I am sorry, but you know you are wrong, right?”
“I knew this was going to trigger that reaction out of you.”
“Am I right?”
“No, you are not right. How is it not right to love unconditionally.”
“But…”
“No. I think that’s enough talking for tonight.”
“Wait, are we just going to go around this subject each time we touch upon it?”
“I know you are Jewish, and certainly your religion is against homosexuality, so what’s there to discuss?”
“Try homosexuality?”
“No thanks. Are you done with dinner? Cuz I like to get home.”
“Uhn, yeah.”
The drive back to Daniel’s house was like the first day they met. The air was strained and the car filled with quiet. Quietly they said their good-byes and went their separate ways. Daniel went back to his house, and Alex to his apartment. It seems like everything is back to square one for the boys.
