Left on the street (boyxman)

Chapter 3

Nicholas' POV

Daniel brought me to his apartment, which looked very expensive. He told me to use the bath and gave me food and painkillers. I also got a bed all for myself. I was very grateful to. But he was too kind to me and I had no way of repaying him, so I decided to sneak out in the middle of the night and leave him a note.

My plan didn't actually go right. I haven't slept in a bed for six months and street life for sure makes you exhausted. Also, those guys beat me up pretty bad. My plan was to take a nap, then leave, but I slept peacefully throughout the whole night and woke up to the smell of food.

After I streched I went to the kitchen, where the amazing smell was coming from. I saw Daniel wearing a pink apron and making eggs with bacon. I giggled at how cute the apron fit him. He then noticed me and smiled back. His smile was so perfect that I almost fell in love. Almost. I forgot I couldn't trust anyone for a moment. Maybe he was kind to me but so was Adam, my ex boyfriend. And I became homeless because of him.

"Morning sleepyhead" Daniel said "sit here and wait for a moment, food will be finished in a minute."
"Alright" I said and smiled lightly.
When the food was finished and we ate I told him:"It's time for me to go now. Sorry for intruding and thank you for everything you did."
"Excuse me, but where are you going? I'm not letting you on the streets again. And you must be in pain form yesterday. Here, take these pills" he said offering me painkillers again.
I took them and he gave me a glass of water and went back to sit on the chair, where he was just a moment ago. "I can't exploit your kindness like this. Giving me a place to stay for the night, and saving me from those guys was enough."
"Sorry, but you're not going anywhere. Look at how skinny you are. And you're still just a kid. How old are you? Eighteen?"
"No I'm not just a kid, I'm already twenty. And I can take care of myself."
"Yeah I saw" he was being sarcastic. "And you're just a kid for me. I'll be 33 in a week and a half. But seriously now, please stay here. Just for some time, and then you can go if you don't fall for me in the meantime" he said with a smirk.
"Are you gay?" I asked bluntly.
"I don't know, am I?" he replied turning to the sink, and starting to wash the plates.
I was silent for some time and then I told him:"Alright, I'll stay. But I have to find a way to repay you."
"Yaay, you're staying. Awesome. It get's lonely always being by myself" he said with a cheerful voice.
"Now, let's get going. We gotta buy you some clothes and other stuff" he told me and lightly grabbed me by my arm.

I protested but he was stronger and more determined so I soon gave up and went with him. He gave me a pair of jeans and a hoodie to go to the store in, since my clothes were dirty. We were shopping for about two hours and he wanted to buy me everything I laid my eyes on. I convinced him I didn't need all that stuff, and he gave in to me. When we were finished, I had three hoodies, three pairs of jeans, two pairs of sweatpants, a new jacket, two new pairs of sneakers and about four T-shirts.

It was too much, but he said that he would buy me all the most expensive clothes if I didn't take these. I was so grateful that I went over to him and hugged him tight, but I pulled away the moment I noticed. He just smirked. After shopping we went to grab something to eat. He ordered us two burgers, two portions of fries, a smoothie and a muffin. I couldn't eat all of that so he ate some of mine. He could eat a lot but he didn't get fat, because he was always in motion, and he worked out three times a week. I had a lot of fun that day. I even laughed like a lunatic, and I can't remember when was the last time I was that happy. "I could get used to his company" I thought to myself as we were going home.
