At Matts house
Alex arrived at Matts house. On his way there, he smoked a cigarette. He was just too nervous, because he doesn't like Partys and people. He would rather sit at home with a good book but he doesn't want to disappoint his friends.
He knocked on the door and Matt opened it with a big smile.
"Hey Mate, there you are! Thanks for the stuff by the way" Matt gave him a 'lame cool guy handshake' and pointed at the kitchen, so that Alex can put the ice in the freezer until the party begins.
"Matt when does the party starts?" Nick asked.
They all sat on the sofa. Everything was already arranged and they waited until the guests arrived.
"I don't know man, the party starts at 8 o'clock and we have 7.. so it'll take a while" Matt said.
"Okay cool" Jamie mumbled.
"Guys can we listen to some music I can't stand the silence" Nick exclaimed.
Matt stood up and put some music on.
Alex just sat there with his arms crossed and his gaze on the ground. He was sunk in his thoughts.
Alex wanted a cigarette. Although he promised not to smoke he just couldn't resist. It was literally driving him crazy. He always wants what he can't have.
Maybe that's why he was craving the mysterious man so bad.
"Al are you okay there?" Nick asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. Just want a cigarette that's all." He stood up " Does anyone want to join me?"
Matt followed him in the garden and they sat down by the small table.
Both of them lit their cigarettes up and inhaled a deep drag.
"Al are you really okay? You said you wanted quit smoking but we're sitting here"
Alex wanted to tell him about the man but he was scared about his reaction. That what he did in front of the man is rather embarrassing to him to talk about although he enjoyed it so much. What should he tell him? He can't lie in his best friends face. Well, Alex can't lie anymore to his face. He knew that when he says that he's fine, Matt would get him drunk enough that Alex would tell him everything. So Alex decided to tell him a tiny bit of what's going on.
"Alex are you listening?" Matt put his cigarette in the ashtray and looked at him.
"Yeah sorry. It's just.. I can't tell you much about it. You have to understand okay?" Alex lit another cigarette, because his first one went off before he could even smoke it.
"Okay then tell me what you can and I'm listening"
"So.. I met a man. He is 27 years old and really nice. We kind of have a relationship, if you could say that. I don't know what there is but I like it and I like the man a lot. The problem is that I don't know who he really is-"
Alex couldn't finish his sentence, because Matt interrupted him. He hated it when Matt did that. With him, Alex always looses his train of thought.
"What? How can you not know who he is? And what kind of relationship do you have? He is 27 for God's sake, that's not even allowed what you have. Okay I don't know what you have but I'm sure it's not legal, Alex."
"I don't know who he is, because I've never met him! I don't even know his name it's driving me crazy. And I know what you're thinking. He is real and don't just exist in me head. Sometimes he sends me presents and he texts me really cute stuff and I don't know why but I really like him." Alex looked down to the last bit of his cigarette. He should start smoking and not wasting it by talking.
"Alex. I'm serious. He is 27 and you are still 17. And where did you met him?"
"I was making homework and a certain website popped up and I got interested by it and I signed up. And yeah I uploaded A picture and I got a message from him immediately." Alex smiled at the memories of their first conversation.
