Escort (Manxman) (On Hold)

Chapter 9

Dedicated to Pixie022 for the great advice! And for being one of my fav authors!! Thanks so much!!

Tyler POV:

"You're such an idiot though!!"

Alex never failed to make me feel good about myself.

"How am I an idiot? You're the one who gave me the stupid card! What was I supposed to do with it!?"

Alex just snorted and slurped up his milkshake. His looks were a drastic contrast to my own, while I was sporting short mousy brown hair with a hint of mahogany red, he was sporting white blonde feather light hair that swooped into his blue eyes and hung over the right one in particular. Alex was gorgeous and he knew it, it was part of why I liked him so much in highschool. But obviously I never confessed, if I had, then maybe we wouldn't even be friends right now. I had to make sure I kept the ones I had.

Of course this was all before I got sick.

"You were supposed to get the joke and know it was obviously one, not hire yourself a fancy hooker" he grinned, flicking his blonde hair from his eyes to give me a pointed look.

My face reddened as I looked down at my bottle of apple juice, one of the few things I was able to stomach "he's not a fancy hooker, he's an escort. He escorts people places and keeps them company" i mumble out quickly, trying not to make it insanely obvious how biased I am with Kia. The guy was so sweet to me, i can't see anyone bad mouth him even if it is Alex.

"He escorts people into bedrooms to fuck around" Alex smirked and shrugged, bouncing his eyebrows while slurping down another drink of his iced coffee.

For some reason I hate hearing that. I hate the idea of it. There's no way, it can't happen. I know I don't know him, I don't own Kia..hes not my boyfriend...but I can't help the jealousy in my gut when I hear he sleeps around with anyone who pays.

Damn it... Alex is right.

He really is a fancy hooker.

"Can't we just chill out and go see our movie now? I don't really wanna talk about this anymore" i sighed. This was just too much to deal with. It hurt to think about and i genuinely didn't have the energy to hold back the guilt.

It's a weird thing to say but, I missed Kia.

How is is possible to miss someone you only met once, a full month ago for a brief amount of time?

"Sure, Tiff, Jake and Pete said they'd meet us inside" he slurped up the last of his drink before crushing the cup in his palm and getting to his feet to go throw it out.
Frowning a little at the reminder of my plunder and my brush of fate with my own version of drop dead perfect, I followed after my friend.

Kia was a constant thought on my mind, his wistfully gorgeous black hair, those perfectly shaped clear green eyes meeting mine. The little bit of stubble, but not too much. He smelled of mild aftershave when he was close to me, his arm around my shoulder as he cooked me crepes on my oven in the kitchen. I loved that he was taller, muscled and manly. Kia could see right through my carefully constructed layered exterior and into my deepest desires in the blink of an eye. He hit my kinks on the head, reminding me of things i had let myself get away with in school.
Things I wanted from him now more than anything. He was becoming an unreachable fantasy.

Kia was god-like.

And i was just plain Tyler.

"Ty? Hey, Tyler...you coming?"

"Yeah, oh! Yeah!!" I jumped a half a foot when i noticed Alex was staring at me with a look of annoyance and frustration, waiting for me to stop day dreaming and drooling over my happy accident. Quickly I fell into step beside him and headed through the mall out of the cafeteria, tossing my juice into the bin as we passed by. We were planning to meet the others and go see a movie for a while now. Today i finally didn't feel as sick as I usually had been so it was great timing. Plus, nobody had to do anything so it all worked out!

"Pete!!" I waved excitedly as we spotted them near the entrance to the cinema, happy to finally get the chance to see my friends for the first time in a few months.

I tried not to notice the reception I got in return though, seeing Pete sigh and look the other way like he hadn't seen me. I couldn't help the sting in my chest that i got from his reaction, I must be seeing things.
Pete was always so chill in school, we were almost inseparable. But after my illness was diagnosed he suddenly and quietly slipped from my side.

Now, I have no idea where i stand with him. I've got no idea where I went wrong. It hurts to think he might not like me.

"Hey guys!" Tiff wrapped her skinny arms around me "look at you! Out in the real world with the rest of us losers" she chuckled and pulled away, linking arms with me amd leading me through the entrance. Tiff was always a sweetheart, gorgeous curly black hair and stunning chestnut skin. She wore a pop of pink on her architecture pattern styled babydoll dress, and I could tell she'd just gotten back from working at her retail store.

Jake chuckled and ruffled my hair, the ginger blue eyed boy was a lot taller than me, making me the short ass of our group. Jake flopped his arm over my shoulder and happily walked us into the line for tickets.

"I get out sometimes!"

"Sure ya do sweetie" she giggled, leaving Alex and Pete to follow into line behind us. Glancing back i noticed they were happily greeting each other and joking around.

So, it really was me.. Pete had something against me.

What did I do wrong?

...........................

"That movie seriously sucked" Tiff groaned and slumped her head back with annoyance. "I can't believe we paid money for that"

I laughed and yawned, Then flopped my head to the side resting it on the back cushion of our booth. I never went out, ever. I never came to places like this. Not that I didn't want to, I really did. But I'm always too sick to go so they usually just go without me.

I can't believe I'm in this freaking nightclub right now, maybe I shouldn't let myself get dragged out so easily. But what can I do, be a buzz killing stick in the mud? Nah..

"Hey Kody! Dude! You still there?" Alex voice rang out over the shrill beating of heavy dance music, cutting into my brain and snapping me into the present like a slingshot.

I blinked, looking around the table, a mountain of drinks had been served and drank. There were four just waiting in front of me I didn't remember drinking, but they were empty.

Oh no..i zoned out again.

I'd never been drinking during a blackout before. How long was i out?

"W-wh~..?" I slurred and leaned my weight on the table, my vision bluring in and out. My eyebrows furrowed in confusion, looking around at the empty booth I was sat at. All of my friends were dancing and jumping around in the crowd, Tiff waving me over and wobbling on her heels.

Drunkenly I staggered from the booth, slipping into the group of writhing sweaty dancers bumping shoulders against mine and grabbed hold of Tiff's arm for balance.

Man I missed dancing.

Why was I so against going out more!? I should go out every day!
Grinding my hips against the frame I assumed was Tiff, I danced my drunken Twinkie heart out. Flicking my mahogany brown hair, and raising my arms as I swayed and rocked side to side.

I'm the best drunk dancing Twink ever!! I'm amazing at this!!

There's an odd feeling on my waist, two hands sliding up and gripping me tightly, pressing my back to their chest.

That's when I realised, it was a guy.

It definitely wasn't Tiff.
