Get Back

Chapter 24 - Who are you to me?

"Hey,Bill! I came by to bring you food," Jasper said with a grin as he entered the unit, ignoring Tom's deathly glare as he passed by him.

"He already had breakfast," Tom butted in with a pinch of anger in his voice.

Bill frowned at Jasper, silently saying that he did already eat.

"Then you can just have this for lunch," Jasper said with a smile, not really minding Tom's presence.

Bill, as a sweet return for Jasper's effort, kissed him on the cheek that made Tom's blood boil in anger. Tom wanted to beat the living daylight out of Jasper but no, he won't do that in front of Bill. Bill might hate him. But wait. Is he Bill's boyfriend?

Tom finally left the two, because he might not be able to take it longer.

"I'm sorry, but I already have company, Jasper. Tom's here," Bill said as he looked at Tom's retreating form.

Jasper gave a smirk.

Jasper knew. He was just testing the two. Testing who will first say something about each other. Gustav happened to tell the story of Bill and Tom to his girlfriend, Natalie. Then Natalie told it to Jasper since she knew what was happening between them. Jasper felt bad, but he's willing to let Bill go if it'll make things better. For Bill.

"It's not that, stupid," Bill slapped Jasper's head playfully.

"Please, Bill. I know how you could make men kneel for you," Jasper said matter-of-factly.

Bill pouted and grabbed Jasper's hand and dragged him towards his room, so he could talk normally.

When they both reached the room, Jasper gave a light chuckle.

"What?" Bill's eyebrow rose.

"Let me guess, you two had sex and now you love him," Jasper mocked.

"No! Love? Fuck that! Lust is possible, but Love? I doubt it," Bill stated with disgust, shaking his head.

That hit Jasper.

"Come on, Bill. How could you say those thi-"

"'Coz I know that no one will love such mess like me," Bill deadpanned.

"I'm talking about you not them, Bill."

"I...It's the same. What I feel is sexual, Jasper. I feel no emotional connection... just a fucking sexual connection," Bill said with a sigh.

"But I think that guy in your kitchen... He's different, Bill. Haven't you realized that?"

"What's different? I told him to leave but he keeps on coming back. He's being a bother to me."

"That's the difference. He isn't like the other men you slept with, Bill. He's not here to use you."

"Why are you taking his side? Do you know him?" Bill's voice suddenly changed into a dark and serious voice. "Do you fucking know him?" Bill asked as he pointed a finger at Jasper accusingly.

"Wha-"

"Do you fucking know him? Do all of you know him except me?" Bill felt betrayed. He doesn't like what's his mind was thinking.

"No, Bill. Remember when I told you about the name you kept on moaning? Well, I just thought that it means something," Jasper immediately explained. He couldn't just let Bill hate him.

Bill gave an exasperated sigh, combing his hair up using his hand.

"I don't want another liar in my life, Jas," Bill said in ragged breath.
