“JACK GODDAMNIT.” Rian bellowed.
“What, what?” Jack tore his eyes away from Alex's ass.
“We have to have a little talk.” Rian took his arm off of Alex's shoulder, and pulled Jack towards him. “Alex just wait here.” he said to Alex.
Jack walked faster, being dragged by Rian. When he passed Alex, he tried to smile, but Alex's head was down, and his ears were bright red.
Jack's heart raced. 'Fuckfuckfuck. Did he see me looking at his ass? Well, he can't blame me.. it's his fault for wearing jeans that tight, with that ass.' Jack couldn't figure it out. Did he truly like Alex? Or was Alex just there at the right time? Right after they had found Haylee cheating. Jack honestly didn't know.
“So Jack, what's up with Alex? I thought you said nothing was going on. I saw the way you look at his ass! And, you have a girlfriend, remember?” Rian said in a menacing tone.
“First of all, I caught Haylee with another guy earlier today. So I broke up with her over text. Which is harsh, I know but she deserves it.” Jack says quickly, taking in the shocked look on Rian's face. “And since when is a little appreciation to good looking body parts is bad?” He asks.
“Jack, I'm so sorry. I honestly never thought Haylee would do something like that! And does this mean you like him?”
“Apparently she is the type to do something like that.” Jack said sadly, looking down. “But to answer your question, I honestly do not know. I might I guess. But I can't risk it. We've become pretty close and I've only known him for a day. I just want to stay friends with him.”
Rian scratched the back of his neck. “Fuck her then. She's not worth it. Dude, you know I'm straight, and I say this in the straightest way possible. Alex is pretty hot. Are you sure you don't want to go for him?”
Hearing Rian saying something like that made him smile. “Yes, I'm sure. I've only known him for a day and he knows a lot about me already. He's a great friend, and could become a great best friend. I don't want to risk that friendship.”
Rian nodded “Whatever you say. Well, alright let's go out there and give Alex the best night of his life!”
“You know me, Rian. I AM the definition of fun. But what was all that, making me and Alex hug?”
“Oh, nothing. But the way I see things, I think I can tell you soon.” Rian says, smiling mysteriously.
Jack shook his head, Rian always said confusing things. He walked away from Rian, back towards the front of the store where Alex was.
“Hi..?” Alex says timidly.
“Wait.. Are you British?” Rian asks.
Alex nodded.
“So do you Brits eat pizza?” Rian said.
Alex looked at Jack, looking for an answer of what had just happened, Rian yelling at Jack and then pulling Jack away. But Jack wouldn't meet Alex's eyes. Alex's heart lurched. What had Rian said that made Jack like this?
He coughed. “Um, yeah we do. I heard Americans live on pizza?” Alex said.
Rian laughed. “Yeah, we do. But people who live in New York City get the best pizza, this is one of the best places to get it.”
They all took a slice of crab pizza, expect for Jack, who picked up two slices and sat down at a small table, meant for 2 people. Jack sat ridiculously close to Alex, which made Alex's heart pound loud.
Alex looked at Jack incredulously as he sat down with his two slices. The slices were huge, practically one and a half the size of a normal sized slice of pizza.
“What?” Jack protested. “I'm like a skinny kid stuck in a fat kid's body.”
Alex smiled, glad Jack wasn't ignoring him.
They sat down, eating their slices. Alex gasped in delight.
Rian smirked “It's good, huh?”
“Fuck yeah it's good.” Alex continued to devour the slice, barely stopping to breathe.
Jack was busy eating too, and Rian examined them eating.
Honestly, they looked adorable together, and Rian's 6th sense told him that Alex liked Jack. Alex had blushed when Jack sat next to him, and he looked sad when Jack hadn't even looked at him when Rian and Jack had come from the back of the restaurant. Which is why Rian had made them hug. He wanted to see how each person would react. Alex had blushed, and happy that he had the privilege of touching Jack. Jack had seemed happy too, and his voice had seemed a bit huskier when he was asking Rian “what, what?” Rian would tell Jack why he had made them hug when they started going out, because he was pretty sure that soon enough, they would. Alex seemed like a decent guy.
“Um.. Are there any napkins around here?” Alex asked, breaking Rian's train of thought.
“Yeah, they're at the counter.” Jack said with his mouth full.
Rian looked at their plates, Alex was done and Jack still had half a slice left. Rian had only taken 4 bites of his pizza.
Alex came back with the napkins and looked at Rian's pizza. “How are you- I don't get it. Are you anorexic or something? The pizza is like an orgasm in your mouth. How can you not be finished yet?” Alex says, shocked.
Jack laughs, with his mouth open so you could see red and white.
“Ew Jack, gross!” Alex laughs and he reaches over and clamps his hand over Jack's mouth.
Jack blushes, and Alex notices. Alex smiles and sits down.
Rian smiles inside. He knew it. Jack was just in denial. He decided to finish his pizza and go home, leaving the two to find fun by themselves.
“So Rian, tell Alex about yourself. Oh, and about Cassadee too. He has to meet her eventually.” Jack says, finishing his last bite.
“Alright, alright. Well, I'm Rian Dawson and I lived in Long Island, which is about an hour and a half away from here. Me & Jack are roommates and I came to Tisch, but not for photography like Jack. I'm in Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music. Um. I'm 20, and Cassadee's my girlfriend and we've been going out since we were 14. She's in a band, Hey Monday. Have you heard of them?”
Alex was speechless. “THAT Cassadee? OF COURSE I KNOW HEY MONDAY. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. And you're the Rian? I always thought it was a Rian spelled with a y, not an I! You have to let me meet her some day. You just have to! I couldn't handle knowing someone whose girlfriend is Cassadee fucking Pope!”
Jack and Rian laugh.
“Well, I guess we could arrange a meeting sometime.” Rian agreed.
“DUDE I FUCKING LOVE YOU.” Alex literally screams, gathering looks from around the restaurant, even the drunks who usually don't notice anything.
Rian laughs. “Alright, it's settled then. I'll call you when things are settled. Now tell me about yourself?”
“But you don't have my number! Oh wait, just get my number from Jack!” Alex rambled. “I come from Liverpool, England and moved after I told everybody I was bisexual and they freaked out. I got into the film department here, so I decided to restart life in a different place. I don't dorm though, my family came here with me and we live in an apartment a couple of blocks away from Tisch. And I think I'll enjoy New York.”
Rian smiled and said “I think everybody enjoys New York. Well, nice meeting you, I'm meeting Cassadee for a movie now!”
Alex groans. “Cassadee is perfect. I'm such a fanboy.”
Rian laughed and whispered in Alex's ear. “Don't touch her or I will pee on your food.”
Alex was astonished and Rian walked out the door and looked and Jack.
Jack was grinning.
“Rian's a cool dude, yeah?” Jack asked.
“Yeah..” Alex trailed off.
