Trust In Me

Xander POV

Walking around this damn Walmart looking for these specific shirts and why the hell am I losing my mind trying to find them? One of the employees walks past

"Excuse me, can you help me?"
He turns around and he's gorgeous chocolate brown eyes, nice skin, pearly white teeth.

Why is he working here?

"I ask myself that question everyday" he says.

" I didn't mean to say that... out loud, I-I was wondering where I could find these type of shirts"

He checked my phone "We do not have those shirts here, but they do sell them at Kohls, right next door"

Great just wasted 30min of my life ill never get back, thanks tris.

I started to walk when away,
"Hey, if you are ever free maybe we can do some thing besides talk about shirts?"

"Sorry, but I have a boyfriend, an annoying one but a boyfriend none the less."

He looked down in sadness " I'm sorry I didn't mean to come off sounding like I was asking you out...I'm gay, I was really just hoping we could hangout sometime. I don't get out much and you seem nice."

"Weird seeing as I just met you and all." I reply.

" I get it, weird guy from Walmart."
He says.

I won't tell him I feel silly for assuming he was hitting on me. But it would be nice to have another friend.

"You seem cool, I guess we could hang out sometime. And sorry for thinking you were hitting on me."

" It's fine! I get it all the time"

"But yeah I'd love to hang out some time, we can go shopping or whatever..."

" Okay... just because I'm gay doesn't mean I'm flamboyant. I don't like shopping, we can hangout at the movies or mini golfing . Nothing too weird for you right? "

"That's perfect, let me give you my number and what's your name?"
I reach my hand out to shake his.
"Marcus"

"Well Marcus, I will see you later, and don't forget to text me"

He smiled and waved as i walked away and felt like an ass. I said the most stereotypical thing, you ever possibly sat to a gay man. Ugh! Well at least I'm having a pretty good day ....

Home.

I'm sitting on the couch watching some Teen Wolf. Ugh I love stiles so much he's like the best.

I hear Tris coming through the door. "Hey love how was your day?" Tris asks

"It was okay. I thought I was going to die trying to find those ridiculous shirts that you sent me to get. By the way they're on the bed in the room." I say annoyed

"Thanks babe, I didn't know they were going to be hard to find, didn't I say they were in Kohl's?"

You've got to be kidding me!

"NO you didn't! But I met someone really nice today, he's super cool you'd like him."

"Whoa! Whoa! He?"

"Yeah he, he worked at Walmart and he was helping me find your shirts."

"Huh? Aw well that's nice. Was he cute?" He asked.

What? I look at him confused at his question "Did you think he was cute?"

"Excuse me?" I said standing up.

"You're out here, flirting with other men and I come home and you're bragging about it? You must think I'm stupid!" He yells walking closer to me.

"You don't think I know you don't want to be here?"

Again. What?

"I cant give you the things you're used to. I cant give you the things you want, and now you're talking about leaving me for another man?" F*ck that!" He throws the lamp against the wall and shatters the glass.

"What the hell is your problem?!"

"You're my problem! You don't think I know you don't want to be with me anymore?'"

What the hell is he talking about?

"You must have had a bad day or something but you need to calm down. You're not making any sense, can you please sit down and talk to me?" He walks over to the couch and sits next to me

"I lost my job today, and then I don't know I just lost my head thinking about... I don't know, I'm sorry Xan. I'll replace the lamp."

"Damn right you will, you don't have to worry about me leaving you or about you not giving me what you think I want. I have you, that's enough for me" He looks up at me and smiles and reaches for my hand

"Whose the guy?"

"His name is Marcus, and he's gay."

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh you idiot. I'm sorry about your job, you'll find another one and I'll help you, okay?"

"Thank you baby, I don't know what I would do without you."

We sat and held each other in silence, what if he has another out burst like that again? What if...I wont be able to talk him down? I love him but I wont let him control my life.
