Chapter 6 - David

I pull into Alex’s parking lot for his apartment complex, and I’m impressed.  He isn’t living in the normal apartments like the rest of us.  Well, even my apartment, I share with Kai, is better than most of the places our classmates live in, but this place makes our apartment look like trash. 

I try to keep myself from gawking, but I can’t seem to stop myself, as I lean forward and look up at the building.  Balconies dot across the exterior while the marble entrance at the base screams wealth.

Alex taps my arm and points to the private parking garage.  “I have a reserved spot in the garage.”

While still trying to take it all in, I turn the SUV towards the private parking garage as I slowly nod my head.  I keep glancing up at the building and now I know why he doesn’t tell anyone where he lives or bring girls here.  They would cling to him for sure.  That is exactly why Kai and I don’t live somewhere nicer.  We have learned in high school not to show off our wealth or you will have people swarming you trying to sink their ugly claws into you.  However, this is one of the nicest apartment buildings that I have ever seen. 

Alex hands me a card and I swipe it at the gate.  Moments later, the gate opens up and I drive inside.  He continues to direct me to his spot.

I don’t waste any time when I park the car. 

As soon as I put the car in park and turn off the engine, I hop out and rush to the passenger’s side.  Before we left my apartment, Alex had got sick and threw up all the food he had eaten.  However, I didn’t want him to leave on his own, and he wasn’t too happy waiting around for Kai to return.  So, against my advice, Alex demanded for me to take him home.

Before I can get to the passenger’s side of the car, he opens the door and tries to get out.  I gasp as he stumbles.  Before he falls to the ground, I rush to him. 

I will not allow him to protest.  I grab his arm and throw it over my shoulders while my other hand slides around his waist and I pull him up tight against me.  There is no way that I’m going to let him fall and hurt himself.  He is too beautiful to have any scrapes on his body. 

Just the thought of Alex hurting himself has images of his gorgeous body, from last night, flashing through my mind.  He was like a magnificent gift served up on a platter for me, but I would not ruin anything by savoring his body when he wasn’t even awake.  No.  I’m not that kind of man. 

I want Alex to come to me.  Or at least, I want to watch as his walls crumble down around him right before I devour him whole.  I’m sure that it won’t be too long before that happens.  For a guy that is used to having sex almost every day, he is going to have to get his release, and I’ll be waiting for that moment. 

Right now, though, I’m going to be the good friend. 

Once we get into Alex’s apartment, I take him into his bedroom and help him lay down on the bed.  Without asking, I take his shoes and socks off and set them by the end of the bed. 

As I stand up, he softly chimes, “You don’t have to do that.  I can manage on my own.”

I shake my head.  “I will not leave you like this.  I told you before that I’m going to make sure that you are all right before I leave your side.  Now, do you want to try and eat something again or do you want to rest?”

He lays his head down on the pillow.  “I want to rest.  My stomach is still churning.”

I glance around the room.  “Do you want to change into some of your clothes or are you fine in mine?”

He rolls over onto to his side.  “Your clothes are fine.  I think I’m going to sleep now.”

“Okay.  I’ll go and try to find some medicine and some water.  I’ll set them on the nightstand and then I’ll get something ready to eat for when you wake up later.”

Alex closes his eyes and mumbles, “Okay.”

I turn and head out of the bedroom in search of some painkillers and some water.  Luckily, I’m able to find the medicine in the bathroom cabinet, while Alex has plenty of water in the refrigerator.  I take the items back into the bedroom and I set them on the nightstand. 

I stand beside the bed and let my eyes roam over his body.  I can’t wait until I make him mine, and once he is, I will not let him go.

After a few minutes of admiring Alex and listening to his soft snores, I turn and walk out of the bedroom towards the kitchen.  I need to figure out something that will sooth his stomach.

***

“What smells so good?”  Alex’s groggy voice makes me smile as I continue to stir the stew. 

Keeping my back to him, I ask, “How are you feeling?  Any better?  Did you take the medicine that I set on the nightstand?”

He sighs.  “Yes, I took the medicine, daddy.  Are you going to punish me for getting drunk and staying out all last night?”

I smirk at the thought of him calling me daddy as the image of him being naked and begging for more while he is under me and I’m thrusting hard into him pops into my mind.  Oh, I have to stop this.  I need to control myself.  I have to be patient.  Plus, I don’t want to scare him away.   

I shake my head.  “You never answered how you are feeling.”  I put the spoon down and turn around. 

My heart instantly skips a beat.  How can anyone be so adorable when he just gets up?  His lips seem to be redder than normal, and his black hair is all messed up and sticking out, but he is still so cute. 

I smile and lick my lips.  “As for the punishment, I will have to see how you behave the rest of the day.  I may just have to spank you if you are too naughty.”

He smiles and walks towards me.  “I’m feeling better.  I think I need to eat something.”  He stops right in front of me and smirks.  “As for the spanking, I don’t think that I’m up to that right now, but maybe another day.”  He winks.

SHIT!  I JUST GOT HARD!!!  DAMN, HE IS FREAKING HOT!

No.  I have to control myself.  He isn’t feeling good.  I need to nurse him back to health first, then I can devour him later. 

I gulp and stare at him as he walks around me and leans over the pot.  My eyes follow his delicious lips as they curve up into a gorgeous smile, as he chimes, “It smells good.  Is it ready?”

“Yes.  Do you want some?”

He turns and looks at me.  “Yes, please.”

With my hand, I motion towards the dining room.  “Go sit down at the table and I’ll bring a bowl to you.  Do want anything to drink?”

Alex walks towards the refrigerator.  “I’ll grab a bottle of water from the fridge.”

I nod and turn back towards the stove.  I turn the burner off and dish up two bowls of soup.  Then I head out to the dining room with the food.

As I go around the corner of the kitchen and head into the dining room, Alex chimes, “I grabbed you a bottle of water, too.  I hope that is fine.”

I walk towards the table and hum, “That is fine.  I hope you like the soup.  I normally don’t make soup, so I’m hoping it has turned out good.”

Alex sits down and smiles.  “Well, if it smells anything how it tastes, then I’m sure it will taste good, because it smells amazing.  My mouth is watering already.”

With a smile on my face, I sit down.  “Well, if you can keep this down, then I’ll try a normal meal later on.”

Alex puts his elbows on the table and turns his head towards me.  He slowly raises an eyebrow and asks, “Just how long are you planning on staying here.  I don’t remember agreeing to letting you stay here all weekend.”

I smile and lean towards him.  With a hint of mischief in my voice, I reply, “Well, if it takes all weekend to get you back to health, then I’m going to be here all weekend.”

He shakes his head.  “I better start feeling better soon, so you can leave.  I rarely let someone stay at my apartment all weekend.  I like my peace and quiet.”

“You don’t even let Paul, Brandon and Chance stay here for the weekend?”

Alex sits upright and shakes his head.  “No.  I rarely have to throw them out, because they know I don’t like people to be here all weekend.”

I shake my head and look down at my soup.  Well, that is one thing that I’m going to have to change, because I plan on spending the weekend here a lot in the future.

I don’t argue.  Instead, I eat my soup. 

Alex’s voice pulls me out of my thoughts.  “David, this is fantastic!  I love it!  Can you make it for me again sometime?”

YES!  He wants me to cook for him again.  Baby steps. 

I nod my head.  “Sure.  Just tell me when and I’ll fix it for you.”

Beep.

Alex looks at his phone on the table and chuckles.  He continues to eat while keeping his eyes on his phone.

Beep.

He chuckles again. 

I can’t help it as my curiosity has me asking, “What is so funny?”

He turns his attention towards me and smiles.  “Well, you were right.  Kai stayed the night at Chancey’s dorm room, and he is now ranting about it.”

I tilt my head and stare at him.  “Ranting?  I hope Chance hadn’t already decided, because I could tell from Kai’s look last night that he is attracted to Chance.  I’ll have to say it is a first.  I’ve never seen Kai interested in a boy before.  He has only ever dated girls.” 

I don’t know what Kai did, but I’m hoping that whatever it is, it isn’t something that he can’t recover from.  I’m honest when I say that I’ve never seen him looking at anyone the way he was looking at Chance last night.  That even includes his previous girlfriends.

Alex chuckles and shakes his head.  “No.  Chancey is grumpy, and he only gets like this when he actually is comfortable with the person.  I can’t tell if he likes Kai, but what I know is that Kai has all the right equipment for him.”

Oh, yeah.  Alex announced last night that Chance was gay.

I hum, “Good.”

Alex slides his phone towards me, and I lean forward and read the messages. 

Step one complete.  Now onto step two.
