Laurens, Do Not Throw Away Your Shot

11~Doubt It

(John's POV)

Even after Alex got my dad thrown in prison for his life, he was still drowning in stress. Since he was caught up in my dad's murder trial for a month, he missed a lot of things that were going on.

He was supposed to start writing the first song for a new musical he was working on. I have no idea what it is yet...

The point being, he was stressed and upset. And I don't like seeing him anything but happy.

"Hey baby?" I called from the other side of the room after hearing him type for hours on end while I was on my phone.

He hummed in response

"Take a break" I told him sweetly

"No, I have so much work to do" he replied firmly.

With that, I walked over to him and snaked my arms around his waist.

"Alex......." I whined, dragging out his name.

He smiled.

"John, please" he said

"Alex, please" I mocked

He groaned and stood up from his desk, walking to the bathroom.

"I'm going to take a shower" Alex muttered.

"Can I join you?" I smirked

"John" Alex said, stopping me from going any further "Philip is in the room right next door"

"So?" I argued

"So..." Alex repeated

"We won't do anything" I winked

"Yeah right" Alex scoffed

"So... No?" I asked

"No" Alex replied

Alex walked into our room after his shower with just a towel around his waist.

I was staring at him while he grabbed sweatpants and a T-shirt waiting for him to drop his towel and get dressed... Not really the get dressed part though.

Alex noticed this and went into the bathroom to get dressed.

When he came back out of the bathroom he sat down next to me.

I immediately hugged him because he actually chose to cuddle instead of work.

He chuckled and stood up again.

"Where are you going?" I asked

"To check on Philip" he replied simply.

I nodded and lied down on the bed, waiting for him to come back.

He returned shortly and skipped under the covers next to me.

I wrapped my arms around him and he snuggled closer to me.

"I love you Alex" I told him.

"I love you more" Alex replied smiling.

"Doubt it" I said

Alex closed his eyes and sighed
"We'll call it a tie" he said trying to fall asleep.
