Thursday Morning
Alex woke up with a headache, he barely slept thinking about his boyfriend. Thinking about the reasons he might have to be so scared of his reaction when they finally get to meet. Maybe he already knew the man, but he deemed it rather unlikely. How he could have known a twenty six years old? Outside his family and teachers there are none that he could think of that could be the man. He thought maybe he doesn't think himself as an attractive man, or maybe he has a disability, or maybe he was way too short, or maybe he was way too fat. The possibilities were endless, Alex could only wonder. It didn't bother Alex whether the man was attractive or not, it didn't bother him either if the man had a visible disability, if he was short or fat. He was falling for that man, nothing else mattered. He missed him, he needed him, he wanted to meet him...badly.
He ran to his phone when it started chiming with a new message. It was from the man.
Thebadthing: Good Morning Baby.
GoodBoy0601: Good Morning Sir.
Thebadthing: Tomorrow is your birthday. Have you decided on your present yet?
GoodBoy0601: You know what I want, I want to meet you sir. I'll be 18 tomorrow, there are no excuses anymore.
It took a while but eventually the man texted Alex back.
Thebadthing: Okay.
Alex couldn't even keep his nerves under control. His level of contentment went to the roof. Was the man serious about meeting him?
GoodBoy0601: Okay?
Thebadthing: Yes sweetheart, your wish is my command. We can meet. Is tomorrow okay with you?
Alex hesitated for a bit, tomorrow it's his birthday party. Matt decided he would throw Alex a party after all and it would be rude to everyone who was invited if he didn't show up to his own birthday party. Alex couldn't possibly miss it.
GoodBoy0601: Tomorrow is my birthday party sir.
He answered nervously. Maybe the man would give up on the idea of meeting him, and that he couldn't bare. He bit his lip in preoccupation.
Thebadthing: How about we meet before it? Those parties start late, don't they?
The man was really serious about meeting him. He was finally giving in. Alex couldn't believe it. He wanted to see Alex and he wanted to see him even before his birthday party. That was too good to be true. Alex pinched himself and soon realised he was indeed awake, even though that all sounded like a dream.
GoodBoy0601: Are you serious? Or maybe you're just messing with me? I told you yesterday, no more messing with me.
GoodBoy0601: Please say you're serious!
Thebadthing: I'm serious. You've been waiting for a long time like a good boy you are. And good boys get surprises.
Alex jumped up and down in his room. He was finally going to see the man, he was gonna get to smell, feel and touch him! His boyfriend, who he likes very very much was finally gonna be his and his only. Everything was gonna be perfect from his birthday onwards, he was gonna be complete, he could feel it. His heart pounded in anticipation. He felt free and yet trapped by the man's existence.
GoodBoy0601: What time sir? Where? And what should I wear?
The boy had so many questions.
Thebadthing: I'll meet you at 8 for a romantic dinner. I'm gonna text you the address later.
Thebadthing: And you could go dressed in a potato sack and you'd still look gorgeous.
Thebadthing: Give your name at the door, I'll be waiting for you.
