Chapter 7
The next morning Luke woke up feeling cold. He turned over and Alex wasn’t there. He picked up the piece of paper on his pillow and read it.
Good morning Luke!
I had a great time last night, I know I’ll be thinking about it in my boring meeting this morning! Feel free to stay until I get back but if you need to leave that’s cool. Could you leave me your number please? I wanna see you again soon.
Alex x
Luke smiled and slid under the warm duvet, he closed his eyes and began to drift off again. What seemed like only minutes later but was really an hour, Luke felt the bed move and a warm man wrapping his arms around his naked body from behind. Alex kissed his ear.
“You awake Luke?”
“I wish I could get a wake up call like this everyday!”
Luke twisted round and kissed him, holding him tight and feeling his hard cock press against his stomach. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and looked effortlessly sexy.
Alex broke off the kiss and held Luke.
“I have to go again pretty soon. You can stay longer if you want.” He ran his hand over Luke’s butt and laughed, “you can shower here if you like, you’ve still got something of me on you!”
Luke giggled, “you liked doing that didn’t you.”
“Yeah, you’re hot.”
“So are you.”
Alex blushed. “You gotta show me your place soon.”
“I will, the flat’s quite similar to yours really. Three guys though, but only two of them straight!”
Alex ran his hand over Luke’s arse again, he couldn’t help himself. “Are they History students?”
“Yeah. They’re alright but when I need to just chill I hang out with Jonny mainly. My mum lives 10 minutes from here too, she’d like you.”
Alex laughed, “meeting the parents already?”
Luke tutted, “not like that, don’t expect me to pull a diamond ring out my arse!”
“What about your dad?”
“He left, when my parents divorced he decided to move back to Germany promising he’d stay in touch and send mum money but he never did. I was eight so I was really upset about it then but now I don’t care, fuck him, mum was good to us.”
“So she raised four sons alone?”
“Yeah. What about you, parents live in Australia?”
“Yeah but I don’t really get along with mum, my parents split when I was young and I lived with dad but…” tears formed in Alex’s eyes, “he died a couple of months ago.”
“Oh Alex, I'm so sorry.”
Luke sat up and put his arms around Alex, holding him tight. “You must miss him so much.”
Alex sighed, “I do.”
Luke wiped a tear from Alex’s cheek, “he must’ve been so proud of you.”
Alex smiled and his eyes shined, “he was very supportive.”
Luke looked up and saw a picture on Alex’s desk of him with a middle-aged man.
“Is that him?”
Alex nodded. Then he got up and out of bed and started going through some papers on his desk. He put a large folder into his bag and then sat down on the bed next to Luke. He reached under the covers and found his semi-hard cock. Luke moaned as he squeezed it. He was so turned on he was fully hard in no time. Alex slid under the covers and kissed him as the jerked him off. His other hand playing with his hair, feeling his chest. He stroked Luke’s cock quickly, aiming to give him swift satisfaction. Luke began to moan as he kissed Alex, and he humped his cock into Alex’s fist. Luke broke away and moaned loudly as Alex sucked his neck and jerked the top of his cock fast.
“Fuuuck!” Luke came over Alex’s hand, and Alex grinned as he licked it off. Luke reached for Alex’s zip but he pushed his hands away as they kissed.
“I have to go.”
“Ah come on just let me make you cum.”
Alex got out of bed, “sorry I'm gonna be late if I stay any longer.”
“But that’s not fair on you.”
Alex laughed, “if you care that much you can IOU me!”
Luke got out of bed, pulled him close and kissed him. He passed him the note he’d left on the pillow earlier, with his number added to it.
“Call me.”
“Oh I will.”
They kissed again before Alex turned to leave and Luke was left alone in the flat.
Later Alex was walking alone back to his flat. He’d been drinking with a friend at their flat, and it was a dark cold night. He’d barely stopped thinking about Luke since the morning. He saw a man crossing the road and thought he looked familiar.
“Hey, Alex right? I'm Mark”
“Oh right hey Mark.” Alex looked straight ahead, unsure of what to say to his new boyfriend’s ex.
“I heard you went on a date with Luke?”
“Yeah last night, just went to the pub.”
“And then back to yours.”
Alex looked at Mark curiously, “yeah, did Luke talk to you about it?”
“I live with Jonny, and he told him absolutely everything.”
In the darkness Mark couldn’t see Alex blushing.
“He obviously really enjoyed it. He said you’re amazing in bed and he can’t wait for you to fuck him.”
Alex felt momentarily lost for words, what game was Mark playing? Alex felt bitterness in his voice and he remembered Luke saying he thought Mark still loved him. Why was this near-stranger being so frank with him?
“Look I know you’re his ex Mark, if you’re going to try to get me not to see him again don’t bother. I really like him.”
“There’s a lot you don’t know about Luke, I don’t think you should be so quick to trust him.”
“I know there’s a lot I don’t know about Luke we just started dating, that’s one of the reasons I wanna see more of him.”
“Yeah, and he’s good in bed isn’t he, I can understand why you want to go back for more. He definitely seems to want more of you, says you’ve got a big cock, he’s shallow like that.”
“What the fuck is your problem?”
“I just want to warn you. He’s young, he thinks the world revolves around him and as soon as he’s got you caring about him, wanting him, he’ll get demanding.”
Alex stopped walking and turned to Mark. “Look you had your chance with him and you blew it, if you want him back that’s your problem because he’s moved on.”
Mark sighed, “you could do better Alex.”
“You don’t know me. Goodbye Mark.”
Alex walked away quickly and turned the corner. Mark was creeping him out and he needed to get away from him, he could see why Luke wasn’t with him anymore.
Just as Alex got into bed and rolled over to get some much needed sleep his phone rang. He felt for it on his bedside table in the darkness, too lazy to get up and turn the light on. He muttered swear words as he knocked books and sheets of paper onto the floor before he found his phone. He looked at the screen, he wasn’t gonna answer for just anyone at this time. Callum. He sighed as he pressed the answer button.
“Hey Callum, what’s up?”
“Can’t sleep, thought if you were awake I’d see how you are.”
Alex rolled his eyes, that was typical Callum, he thought he was being helpful but calling Alex when he had nothing else to do, as usual he was using him.
“Trouble in paradise?” Alex joked.
“Nah not really, I don’t miss much about home having Rob here. Just you really.”
Alex smiled, “I miss you too.”
“How are you doing Alex?” Both men knew his wasn’t the simple polite greeting most people use it as.
“I miss him.” Again neither needed to ask or explain, Callum knew who Alex was talking about.
Callum smiled, “you’re so brave Alex, you know that.”
“No I'm not.” Alex sighed heavily, “after he died I could’ve stayed but I didn’t I ran.”
Callum could hear that Alex was starting to cry and his heart felt heavy, he knew how strong Alex was, he knew how much he was suffering.
“I moved halfway across the world because I couldn’t stand living with my mum, or living in my home without my dad, for fucks sake I'm 22 years old, I feel pathetic.”
“Your dad died Alex, it’s only natural that it hurts you, come on you’re a nurse you know everybody has to grieve sometimes.”
Alex pulled the covers back over him and wiped his eyes. He knew deep down that Callum was right.
“You’re not weak, or stupid, and you haven’t let anybody down.” Callum continued. “If you don’t want to go back home there’s no reason why you should, you have to look after yourself and only you know where you really feel comfortable.”
Alex smiled, “thanks Callum, you always know what to say.”
“I feel kinda bad I'm not there for you.”
“Well I miss you Callum but…” Alex smiled, he knew he could be completely open with Callum. He was starting to feel much more like just a close friend than a lover. “I’ve been looking at other guys, and I met someone.”
“Wow Alex that’s great! You deserve it. What’s he like?”
“His name’s Luke, he’s a student too. He’s got gorgeous eyes, he’s just…gorgeous. It’s early days but he’s a very nice guy.”
Callum laughed, “oh you don’t know how happy it makes me to hear you say that. So come on juicy details!”
“A gentleman like me doesn’t kiss and tell…but he’s really hot!”
“Glad to hear it, you need some good sex to take your mind off stuff.”
Alex laughed, “that’s your answer to everything.”
“Not anymore I'm a one man guy now.”
“Yeah but that one man puts out for you twice a day!” Alex laughed.
“Yeah, but that’s not why I'm going to propose to him.”
“Oh my god Callum, when?
“Not sure, but I bought a ring. Do gay guys give rings to each other? Fuck I have no idea what I'm gonna say, or do, or…”
“Mate, calm down.” Alex laughed. “He loves you, you’ll be fine. How is he?”
Callum sighed, “He’s good. I’ve gotten so used to living with him now, I know it’s what we both want.”
Callum yawned.
“Sleepy now?” Alex asked.
“Yeah, but we can talk more if you want.”
“Nah it’s fine Callum, you go keep your man warm.”
“Yeah I will, bye Alex. You stay strong mate, I love you.”
“Don’t worry about me. I’ll be ok.”
Alex hung up. “I'm always ok.”
The next morning Luke woke up feeling cold. He turned over and Alex wasn’t there. He picked up the piece of paper on his pillow and read it.
