Draft 2

As Noah was leaving the cafetaria he felt something different inside him. He was mesmerized by Alex completely.
Perhaps they both were struggling on a thing with same emotion.
Time lapse

It was almost midnight when Alex heard doorbell ringing.
He went and opened the door and not to be surprised, it was Jimmy.
Jimmy was the only friend Alex had in all his good and bad in the past 7 years, ever since he came to this city.

Jimmy: you didn't slept?
Alex: No i was just on netflix.
Jimmy hugged him with his gracious smile .
To which Alex said.
Alex: so you were with Lisa...
Alex Smiled back to Jimmy.
Jimmy: yeah and you know what she is joining me this weekend for movie date.
Alex: but you said you are coming with me to visit central theatre.
Alex frowned.
Jimmy: movie date is in the evening and I have whole day for you.
Jimmy chuckled.
And they kept talking for almost an hour and after that they both slept.

Next day Alex wokeup and It was already noon. Alex went to jimmy's room and tried waking him up also.
Alex: this is 6th time I am saying wakeup or I am gonna hit you hard.
Jimmy slightly opened his eyes and requested for 5 more minutes.
After an hour they were ready to leave.
It was almost 3of noon when they reached theatre.
Alex parked the car in parking lodge.
And joined jimmy at counter.
They both visited every corner of the theatre.

As for jimmy it was super boring thing but he knows that Alex gets happy by these things and Jimmy is always ready to do anything for his bestest freind . Although Jimmy belongs to a rich family of the city but the lack of the warmth, care and the fake glassy society was unbearable for him and when he met Alex he got all of care and warmth he needed.
Alex never said all these things to Jimmy but he really cares about him and jimmy never wanted to listen the words from him as he could sense it all.

They both were tired now and desperate for hot coffee .
It was much more cold than usual.
They turned to a vacant table and jimmy said he will join him after receiving their order.

Alex's eyes were searching for someone from the moment he parked his car.

Jimmy came back having coffee in both of his hand and asked Alex
Jimmy: is there someone coming to meet you?

Alex: No ,, why are you asking that?
Jimmy: nothing just let it go.

Jimmy was sipping his coffee when he saw his cousin on another table in VIP area.
They suddenly made an eyecontact and Jimmy waved his hand in response.
Jimmy: hey Alex my cousin is also here.
Alex turned his head and saw Noah.
Alex: Noah , he is your cousin?
he surprisingly asked
Jimmy: yeah!!
And while they both were talking they were interrupted by a familiar voice.
Noah: Hi jimmy, where have you been for so long.
And the moment he turned to greet the other person he got surprised.
Naoh : Oh, Hi Alex, you guys know each other?
He just asked.
Jimmy: yess , he is my friend , he works in your dad's hospital
To which Noah replied
Noah: I know him.
Alex offered Noah a seat and when he turned back he saw Noah's bodyguard all around the place he felt a bit awkward because now the whole attention of all the people around the place was on him .
Noah and Jimmy kept on talking and amidst all this Alex only uttered the words where it was necessary.
Jimmy checked his phone soon to realise that he is goona be late for Lisa .
Jimmy: I have to go somewhere its urgent I will see you soon.
And he picked keys from Alex's hand.
Alex gave no reaction as he is used to jimmy's these acts.
Noah stood up and shaked his hand to jimmy in order to leave. Alex did the same.
Noah left and jimmy was getting all his stuffs inside his pocket and hurriedly hugged Alex making his way through the exit.
Alex paid the bill .
And soon he came outside seeing for a taxi.
While waiting he saw Noah's car fleet coming out of the parking and he deliberately ignored the scene.
Soon to realise one of the car stopped in front of him .
It was Noah.
Noah: alex I will drop you.
Alex: no it will be ok ,I ll get a cab.
Noah insisted.
Alex was at the attention as all other peoples eyes were on him cause 7 cars of the fleet were in lane just because of him.
He got awkward by this and agreed to Naoh.
Alex got inside the car .
Naoh: I didn't knew that you guys are friend.
Alex : yeah We know each other for a very long time.
Noah wanted him to speak more and was waiting for him to do so.
But none of then speak a word . After 5 minutes, the silence broke when Noah asked Alex for his address.
Alex: just drop me to subway I ll be okay with it.
Noah: No there is no need, tell me the address.
Alex didn't wanted but ended telling him the address.
Noah: Lets meet tommorrow in cafeteria.
Noah knew it already if he will ask Alex to meet in his cabin informlly he will surely deny.
Alex nodded in agreement.

And the slow conversation continued.

After 40 more minutes the car reached outside the Alex's apartment. He made his way outside gesturing a kind eye conatct towards Naoh.
But Noah too got out of the car making all his guards positioning.
Alex: hey you dont need to come out . I am okay.
Naoh: I thought you are gonna make me see your apartment atleast.
Naoh joked.
Alex gave him a smile.
Alex thought for a second and then he moved his hand forward and shaked hand with Noah.
Alex: you should go now you are grabbing the attention of my whole society.
Alex said awkwardly with a sudden smile.

Naoh nodded.
Alex made his way to the stairs and still he can sense that Noah's gaze was on him.

Alex laid down on his bed after washing him up. He was still lost in confusion.
But the only thing he was not confused about was somewhere it was making him feel good.

And soon struggling in all these confusion he slept.
