Caleb picked up the drinks tray turning to Ebony who was at the counter "busy day" he said tiredly, it had been a nonstop stream of customers from the moment the café opened.
"Really is, stupid man needs to get off his ass and do some work, or stop cutting costs and give us some new friends" Ebony replied back harshly.
Nodding in agreement they both glanced over at the old manager who was sat doing his daily crosswords at one of the tables, he noticed them staring and sent a scowl Ebony's way but a wink Caleb's.
"Did I imagine that, or did he just wink at you?" She asked looking between the two in horror "please tell me you aren't with him, what happened to the cute messy haired guy who you were hooking up with!" Ebony said indignantly.
"I'm not with him don't worry, never ever ever Ebony" Caleb replied quickly "he's just been coming onto me a lot that's all"
"In his dreams, you're way out of his league" Ebony said sending a dirty look at the Manager before turning to serve a customer, Caleb looked around the busy café in exhaustion then smiled noticing a familiar face sat at one of the tables.
Caleb strolled over "Hello handsome, what can I get you?" He flirted, Jason smiled up at him.
"Just a coffee my good waiter, if the service is good enough I might even leave a tip" Jason replied tapping his fingers on the table with a smirk.
Caleb rolled his eyes "One coffee coming right up" he told Jason beginning to walk away.
"Oh and one more thing, the whipped cream in it. Substitute that for some of yours. House special if you will?" Jason whispered a glint of mischief in his eyes. Caleb went beet red turning and walking away as Jason laughed.
Ebony flashed him a quick smile as she handed a plate to another customer "Someone's getting laiddddd" she whispered chuckling to herself, Caleb batted her with the empty drinks tray playfully.
"Oh no, Someone isn't happy" Ebony pointed out and Caleb turned to see the Manager storming over to them.
"Caleb, my office! NOW!" He hissed angrily in Caleb's ear, Caleb exchanged a glance with Ebony who looked absolutely pissed but he followed the old man into the tiny little office, being back there made Caleb uncomfortable, he tried to push down the feelings as best he could as he sat in the too familiar chair.
"Let's get straight to the point, who was that man?" The Manager asked angrily.
"He's a very close friend" Caleb replied with a shrug not making eye contact, The Manager looked angrier at this.
"You don't flirt with close friends, especially not in my café, and even more so when I've laid claim on you!" he snarled at Caleb.
"I'm not yours, I'm me. You don't own me" Caleb retorted standing up, the old man stood up too picking up his walking stick and whacking Caleb in the head with it, Caleb staggered to the side catching himself on the wall, he gingerly touched his head. It wasn't bleeding but it hurt like hell.
The old man paced over to him "I'll show you why you shouldn't defy me boy" He whispered hoarsely in Caleb's ear, he then grabbed Caleb's pants pulling them swiftly to his knees, Caleb tried to move away but the man reeled him in like a fish on a rod.
"Don't move an inch or I'll fucking fire you. Okay?" The old man yelled, Caleb gulped nodding as his underwear got pulled down too, he then heard the sound of a belt coming off and pants dropping... he was about to be raped...
"P-please, don't please" Caleb whimpered out backing into the wall.
"What part of don't move didn't you understand you green haired freak" the old man shouted back. He then shoved Caleb hard against the wall and pressed himself up against Caleb.
Caleb could feel the old man getting inside him and screamed "STOP PLEASE"
He was hyperventilating now pressing himself up against the wall as hard as he could to try escape the old man "P-please I'm begging you please I'll do anything" Caleb begged his voice faltering.
Suddenly the door swung open, Ebony and Jason both stood there, they took on the scene horrified, disgusted looks appearing on their faces as Caleb slid down the wall shielding himself, crying bitterly.
"What the fuck old man! Get off him!" Ebony yelled, a second later Caleb heard the old man grunt and something shatter, warm hands touched his shoulders, it was Jason, he was safe. He felt his pants getting pulled back up before the arms engulfed him.
"It's alright Elf, you're safe, I've got you" he whispered in Calebs ear, Caleb turned around sobbing onto Jason's shoulder, he felt his whole world collapsing around him, from outside he could hear Ebony absolutely screaming at the Manager yelling insult after insult at him. He was trying to shout back but she was absolutely going ham on him not letting him get a single word in.
"Don't listen Elf, you're okay. Let's take you home" Jason whispered calmly helping Caleb up.
"I RESIGN YOU PERVERT! I'M NOT WORKING WITH A SICK RAPIST" Ebony screamed at him, they heard her loud, angry footsteps approach the office.
"Caleb are you alright sweetie, did he actually do it?" She asked softly almost mothering him as she stared down at him kindly, not many people got to see this side of the fierce blonde.
Caleb shook his head silently, he couldn't speak. He felt so ashamed of what had just happened, of what he allowed to happen.
"Don't take him home" Ebony said quietly to Jason, Jason nodded.
"Yeah I know, I'll take him back to mine till his work shift ends" Jason replied cooly taking Caleb's hand in his own.
Ebony nodded walking to the door with them, the old manager was by now begging customers not to leave as they were too walking out the door disgusted with what they'd heard.
Jason tactfully shielded Caleb from the Managers view as they left the Café "I'll give you a call later Caleb okay? Look after him pretty boy, no funny business" she ordered sternly before strolling off in the opposite direction.
Jason helped Caleb into the pick up truck then climbed in himself slamming the door shut and starting the engine.
...
"T-thank you Jason, y-you didn't have to help me like that" Caleb said quietly as the pick up truck pulled up outside his house, they'd spent the day at Jason's house watching more shitty Christmas movies and drinking hot chocolate, they'd ordered a pizza and stuffed their faces with it.
"What happened shouldn't have happened, I'm glad we got there before it got worse" Jason replied calmly.
"Yeah, you saved me" Caleb said gratefully.
"I don't say I'm a hero... but... I'm a hero" Jason told him with a grin on his face making Caleb laugh.
"What time are you we gonna do the thing tomorrow?" Caleb asked putting his hand on the pick up truck door.
"I've booked the tickets for 8:30, so get him and be ready to leave by 8:00" Jason responded nodding his head.
Caleb pouted at him "I should've paid for the tickets Jason" he said guiltily, he felt bad making Jason pay for this trip.
"No need, you and him deserve a nice day out. It'll be fun, trust me" Jason replied reassuringly. "Now go inside, get a good nights sleep, and be up bright and early for tomorrow with Jay in tow. Got it elf?" Jason planned.
Caleb nodded, he planted a quick but affectionate kiss on Jason's cheek before stepping out of the pick up truck and heading inside his house, he heard the truck speed away, sighed and opened the front door.
