Lost Souls (Book 2)

Part 5

Alec woken up feeling snuggly under the blanket which then cause him to jolt up from his sleep. He look around not remembering what happened exactly last night. No certain hot doctor presence in his room. He doesn't know why he felt disappointment thinking he would be awaken next by his side but the coldness in his bed made him even lonelier than ever. He looked at the clock next to his bed side and it shown six in the morning. He groaned in his palm as he got off the bed, heading to the shower. He need to get ready for his class.

After showered, Alec get dressed into simple long white shirt with his black leggings. He then grabbed his black jacket that he brought from Italy, he bring it close to his nose and took a sniff, it smells like home. He released a breath and ready to head downstairs when he heard a chime coming from his bedside.

He went and look for the source of the sound and noticed his phone was charged, Mateo probably charged them last night and there's a text message appeared. He smiled removing the cable and swipe the screen to unlock the message.

Mateo : Good morning Alec, hope you feel better. Sorry I had to leave early cause I have a morning shift today in the hospital. I hope to see you again, you still owe me that date.😉

Alec smiled after he read it and his heart warmth in feeling. He soon typed away his answers to him,

Alec :  Morning to you doc, I want to thank you for last night. Sorry for that, how about today for coffee. Maybe around four at Ridley's?

He put his phone in his pocket and headed downstairs to make some toast and quick drink before Tom will come and fetch him. He was in the middle of stirring his coffee with a piece of toast in between his teeth when his phone buzzed. He looked at it and again smiled.

Mateo : I'll be there. See you later.😘
Alec : 😊

Alec shoved back his phone into his pocket and drank his coffee when he heard the knock on his door. He wonders why Tom didn't just let himself in. Alec opened the door and greeted him with a smile. "Morning sir, you look happy." He said and Alec smiled greeting him back. "I feel better, thank you Tom. Come in. Wanna coffee?" He opened it wider for him to enter, Tom shook his head declined his offer politely and headed back inside finishing his coffee. "You know you don't have to knock to enter, you are always welcome here Tom." Alec said sipping his bittersweet drink eyeing Tom that stood awkwardly in front of him.

"Yeah, I guess being a servant for years do me the manners of that." He said rubbing his hair looking down on the floor. "Well you don't have to be civil around me Tom, I'm not my parents, and stop calling me sir. It makes me feel like I'm a prince or something." Alec said turning around washing his empty cup of coffee in the sink. Alec heard him chuckle behind him and wiped his hand dry with the towel by the wall. "Lets go." He said grabbing his jacket on the chair and they both exited the house.

Rafe's school

Finally the bell rings and it is the time for Rafe to leave the school or to him, his hell. He had this one kid kept bullying him and won't stop pestering him and his goal of the day is to make his life miserable. He went out from his class, peeking from the door to his left and right, he sighed in relief not able to see that kid. He walked to his locker and placed all of his stuffs before his locker door was slammed shut and him being pushed to the ground beside him.

He looked up to the kid stood before him, nothing special, typical rich kid with strawberry blonde hair, chubby figure with his stomach filled the shirt he wore and yes, he wore the best uniform with the most expensive shoes and the most expensive bag just because he loves the attention and loves to show people off. "Aww, did the baby fall on the floor? Want me to call your daddy and save you?" He said and his whole crowd behind him laughed at his stupid joke.
