Nicholas's POV
I was talking with my friend, Kevin when Joseph walks up to us, so elegantly.
"Hello Nicholas" He said.
"Hello again" I said back to him.
"May I talk to you in private?" Joe asked politely.
"Of course, after you" I answered politely.
Joe and I walked side by side, receive a few odd glances from others.
"So, uhm. Do you have a name?" I asked the younger man.
"Joseph. Joseph Adams but you may call me Joe" he answered.
"Mr. Jonas... I-" Joe started
"Call me Nick" I interrupted him.
"Nick... I feel like such an idiot. It took me all morning to get up the nerve of facing you." Joe said sadly.
"Well, here you are" I said jokingly.
"Yes. I wanted to thank you for what you did. Not just for pulling me back but also for your discretion." Joe told me.
"You're welcome" I smiled at him.
"I know what you're thinking. Poor little rich guy. What does he know about misery?" Joe said sighing.
"Nah. I was thinking what could've happened to this poor little guy for him to think that he had no way out" I answered quickly to reassure him.
"It wasn't just one thing. It was everything. It was them, it was their whole world. I was just trapped in it. I just wanted them to be sorry. That's why I tried to jump off the stern" Joe sighed.
"They'll be sorry for sure. You'd be dead" I said seriously.
He lowered his head "oh gosh. I'm such a fool"
"That penguin last night, was he one of them?" I asked
"Penguin? Oh Zac! He is one of them. He's my fiancé" he frowned.
"So you don't want to marry him? So you thought there was no other way out?" I asked getting interested.
"Yes! Exactly!" Joe's face lit up.
"So just don't marry him" I said
"Oh God. I wish it was that simple" he frowned.
"It is that simple" I said to the 1st class man.
"You don't know what it's like in my world" Joe said
"I'll find out tonight" I smiled.
Joe's POV
"What's this?" I asked him, indicating to the book he had in his hand.
"Just some sketches" he said smiling.
He showed me a few of them. I blushed when they got to the sketches of the nudes. They were female and male nudes. I cleared my throat and kept my posture.
"You have a gift Nick." I smiled and he smiled back.
