Chapter 60 - Alperx (2)

"Jason!"

Jason opened his eyes, the darkness of the night forced him to narrow his eyes to see who it was that called him. In the dark, he couldn't be sure who it was or where he was. 

He sat up on the hard floor rubbing sleep off of his eyes. He was very tired and all of him was sore from sleeping on the ground. 

"Where am I?" He inquired in a tired tone. 

"Outside the apartment. Why are you sleeping here?" The person asked, a flashlight suddenly lit up in the hallway. 

Jason looked up to find the waiter from the cafe hovering over him. He looked at him with gentle eyes, looking into his eyes, he felt as though he was looking at Davion. His crown prince. 

He blinked to break contact with the man. 'He is not Davion,' he told his yearning heart. 

His eyes searched around to find that he was outside his door, most of his stuff was still there but some of it was gone. He realised that he had fallen asleep and got robbed too. 

Just more things for him to add to the list of problems that he had in his life in that moment. "I got kicked out of my apartment," he replied to the waiter. 

Not that it was any of his business, his life was falling apart. He didn't have any savings or backup plan and would probably have to sleep outside. 

"I see," Davy uttered. "Well, I will off then," he let out. 

He directed the flashlight away from Jason and moved forward to leave. Jason looked up, he had expected for the man to at least offer to help him. He would have turned the offer down but he would have felt nice to be asked. 

His indifferent attitude was just like Davion. The man was the king of not caring when he wanted to be and the young waiter was behaving just like him. 'I wonder if the author based Davion's character on him,' he thought bitterly and sadly. 

"Hold on," he called out to Davy. Davy stopped in his tracks and turned his head to look back at him. "What were you doing here?"

Jason asked him, running into the waiter at his apartment building was coincidental but there could have been a chance that the man followed him home. 

"We were short staffed tonight so I came to make a delivery," Davy responded. 

Jason nodded. He was wearing the cafe's uniform so it was possible that he was still working. He took out his phone, he wanted to call his mother but sadly he run out of airtime. 

"Just great," he cursed. 

"Are you okay?" Davy inquired from him. 

"No I'm not. I have lost the man I love, my house, I have no money and now I have no place to go," Jason ranted. "Arghhh, I hate my life," he uttered.

He sighed. He was not old but he felt aged. The amount of sighs that he had let out since morning were scary. He was filled with worry, his problems were just pilling up not giving him a chance to relax. 

He wasn't sure what life wanted from him. For no reason it was dropping everything on him all at once. At the end of the day, he was only human and could only take on so much. 

He closed his eyes and let his frustration flow out of his eyes freely. "If you don't mind," Davy started to say. 

Jason turned his gaze to the side to see him. The waiter had his eyes pressed closed as though second guessing what he wanted to say. He seemed to be having an internal argument about whether to complete his sentence. 

"Y..you cou..could move in w..with me," the man struggled to say. From the image that Jason had seen of him at the cafe, he seemed different. At the cafe, the man seemed warm and friendly but now he seemed cold and very distant. 

Jason didn't need a genius to point out that it took a of the young man to get him to offer his place to him. But he was shameless and out of options so there was no way he was going to turn down a place rest his head. 

"Sure," he rushed to say before the young man changed his mind about everything. "Let me get m..."

"You are not planning on taking those to my house are you?" The waiter asked to him. 

Jason looked at what was left of his belonging and wanted to nod but thought against it. "I was just going to get this," he said picking up a pink teddy bear from the ground. 

The teddy bear had a red heart on it's chest that had the pen name of the author, Alperx, written on it. He had that made for his author and was going to send it to her when the book ended but he got side tracked. 

Jason walked tiredly towards his savior holding the teddy close to his chest. Davy watched him keenly taking in the teddy bear that he was holding. His lips slightly curled up into a smile.

It was cute, the teddy bear that Jason was holding. But the colour was a turn off, white would have suited the bear better. 

"Alperx, you must like the author a lot?" He inquired when Jason stood next to him. 

"I'm her number one fan," Jason replied in a pained voice. She was her only hope to get back his life. Finding her was the only purpose that he had left. 

"What makes you think that the author is a she? It could be a man," Davy asked him. 

Jason frowned. Its true that he had never known the real gender of the author. But he had always felt that it was a she, with how well she portrayed the emotions in the book. He had never imagined that his author could be a man. 

"My heart says that the author is female. And I trust my heart," he spoke out. 

"And look where listening to your heart got you," Davy mumbled under his breath. 

"What?" Jason questioned not having heard what he said. 

"I said it's good that you trust your heart," Davy said and started walking away.. "Even though it's wrong," he added softly.
