RED WHITE AND ROYAL BLUE - YOU COULD STAY

4. Henry

Henry woke up little early than his usual. He couldn't get a peaceful sleep as all he thinks about is the phone call Alex had last night.

'Who the hell is this Zeke?' Henry thinks.
Why can't Henry think straight? Why he is bothered? Why he let Alex in his head? How can he get rid off him from his head?

'Is Zeke his boyfriend? Maybe they had a fight and probably that's why he left States. Is he going back to his ex?'

"Shut up." Henry screams at himself and gets up from the bed.

Alex came out from the room around noon time. Henry didn't disturbed him as he slept with a hang over.

"Morning." Alex says scratching his back head. Alex looks gorgeous, no one can be this hot with hang over. His curls fall on his face. His lips... Henry blinks away his thoughts.

"It's noon." Henry says and Alex ignored him, head straight to kitchen. "Breakfast in the fridge." Henry half screams from the couch.

Alex takes the food in the plate and sits beside Henry. "You ate?" Alex enquired.

"Yes."

As Alex finished the food and came back from the kitchen Henry stood in Alex way.

"We need to talk." Henry stares and Alex gave him confusing look as he has no idea what's going on.

"About what?" Alex furrows his eyebrows.

"About last night." Henry just wants to know what had happened with Alex last night at the party, why he had panicked and who the hell is this Zeke. Why he got upsets after the call.

"I told you that's nothing." Alex tries to walk away but Henry blocks his way. "Why are you always like this?"

"Like what?" Henry' voice little louder than he expected. That's made Alex flinches slightly. "Um... Sorry. I didn't mean to rise my voice."

"Seriously Henry." He says with a disappointment. "I been tring to talk to you from the day one. I don't know anyone in the city. Yeah, I was supposed to come here alone, without you. I don't know I would've find some friend by now if I was alone. But we're here, we're stuck here. We can be friends."

"Why are you always want me as your friend?" He didn't mean that sounds arrogant but it turned out like that.

"Get over yourself Henry. It's a human nature. We're living under the same roof and we're social animals. I can't ignore the person I live with."

"You know I'm not here to be your friend. I here to protect you."

"Cut the bullshit Henry. I'm not in danger or something. You're here only for the formality."

"Is that so, who called you last night? How do I know if someone threatened you? You're the one who is keeping things from me." Henry noticed how Alex' face turned red hearing about the call.

"Now you're prying." Alex says flatly.

"That's my job to know about my clients." Henry closed the distance between them.

"Then you've other ways to get it right? Put some effort in that. You can't get anything that easily."

"Then I'm definitely going to find it." He knows he is making an unnecessary scene with Alex. He is acting like fool because of the mad infatuation.

"My personal life is none of your business. You made it clear that you're only here to protect me." Alex gives and extra effort to say 'protect'.

"How do I know that the call is personal?" Henry clenched his jaw.
