The Man

-Jackson- This is finally the time of my life. Having taking care of my father for the past weeks, finally i get the time to enjoy my 21st birthday, going to the gay club with my friends Ellie and his boyfriend Ryan. "Hey, do you want some more drink?" I asked between the loud music. "No, I'm fine. How 'bout you babe?" Ellie asked his boyfriend. "No.. I'm Okay" answered Ryan. "Okay, I'm gonna order some more drink for me" I continued. "We are gonna dance there..." answered Ellie pointing to the empty spot at the bar. I go to the bar and ordering some cheap beer. "One beer, please" I told the bartender. The bartender that look a bit more older than me stop wiping the table and served my drink, "Here.. your drink" He said to me. I take the drink and readying to go to Ellie and Ryan but when i turned my body, my body collide with a hard body and i spilled the cheap beer on the stranger clothes. f**k!! That look like a expensive clothes. I thought. "Umm.. I'm really sorry!!!" I take my tissue from my pocket and tried to wipe his shirt, but the stain just get wider and wider. Oh. My. God. I thought. I just said this is the time of my life and my life is answering with Oh no. It don't. "Take of your shirt" I said with my head down. The stranger just chuckled with his deep voice and said "Really.. no introduction. Just straight to it??". "Um... What??" I answered confused about what he meant, then i look up from his shirt to his face. Oh f**k!!! So handsome!!! I blushed, not because the alcohol. He have a trimmed beard and chiseled jaw, that dimples decorating his cheek while smirking to me. His hair is combed back but what hypnotizing me the most is his green eyes that looked can reading my thought right now. "Should we do it here??" He said. "Do what??" I answered. He leaned closer to my ear and i can feel his breath on my cheek and he whispered "f*****g".  I staggered and almost fell down but thanks to the bar table i don't embarrass myself more. "What?? What??" and then i realized what i said earlier "I mean, I can't pay back for your shirt but i can wash it.. I'm really sorry, i know i can't really make it look new, but i can try to fix it.". "Okay then.." he chuckled and start to unbuttoned his shirt. First button.. he showed his long and sinewy neck. Second button.. he showed a wide and muscular chest. "Wait!!!!" I interrupted. "What??" he asked. "On second thought.. just do it in bathroom" I don't let him to answer and pull his hand to the bathroom. The bathroom is clean for public use, i pull him to the one of the empty cubicle. "What are we doing here??" He asked with that smirk. "Go take off your shirt" I said. "Okay.. Mr. Bossy" He said. I'm not. I thought and starting to take off my sweater. "You can tell me if you wanna fuck.." He said with a confident. "No..." Not for now, by the way. I thought. "I know the size is small, but you can wore my sweater for now.. Here" I give the sweater to him.  PAPPA MIA!!! That body is ripped. that bronze n****e and that washboard abs with hair that lead to.... I think i dead and go to gay heaven, but this is just a random stranger. I take the shirt, as i examined it, i think i can fix it. "Try the sweater"  I said. He wears the sweater and covering that body of art, shame really, but it's for a good a cause. "This is a little bit tight, not in a good way" He said while smirking, "Why everything must be s****l with you??" I asked. "Let's just say i'm a s****l person" He answered. The sweater is not a little bit tight but small compared to his body, maybe 6 ft, i think. the sweater arm is hanging on his arm. "I'm really sorry, but this will do for awhile meanwhile i fix your shirt."I said. "It's okay.. it's a old shirt anyway" He said. "No.. that won't do.. my father teaches me not too owe to anyone." I said. "He look a good father" he said. "Yeah... He's the best for me" I said. I folded his shirt and said "Let's get out from here" I said "By the way my name is Jackson. Jackson Carter" I said. "You can call me Garrett" He said through the loud music. "It's good to meeting you Garrett, but i must go to home and wash your shirt and I'm sorry again. Where is your house?? I can bring your shirt there" I asked. "It's okay. No big deal, where do you work??" He asked me back. "I work at Sips and chill cafe near the downtown. For weekday i work at night shift, for the weekend i work at morning shift" I answered. "Very busy hah.." He said. "Yeah.. My father worked at construction site and i go to college, so i need to make more money" I answered. I really don't know why i'm suddenly so chatty around stranger. "Where is your mother??" He asked. "I don't know" I answered. Maybe the biggest mystery of my life is my mother, i really don't know what happened between her and dad but every time i asked dad he just dismissed it. I go to where Ellie and Ryan dance so wrapped up in their own world. I'm kinda feel jealous, i want that too, a real relationship where you can share everything.. pain, love, and happiness. "Hey... guys. I need to go home. There's a bit problem" I interrupted them. "What happened??" Ellie asked. "He's happened" I pointed to Garrett. "Ohh... Jackson finally scored tonight" said Ryan."Wooohooo... Go get him tiger!! and he looked smoking too" Ellie said. No... not like that. I spilled drink to his expensive shirt so i need to clean it" I said. "oohh" They said together. Why does they look more sad than i am??. "It's okay we gonna go home too anyway" Ellie said. "It's nice meeting you" I said to Garrett. "Yeah, me too. Not the greatest night of my life then i met you" At the front on the bar, We waited for the Uber ride. "Uber for Ellie" the drive said. "Yes" Ellie said. "Um.. Ellie the car is too small for the three of us" I said. "Oh no.. I order a regular uber.." Ellie said. "It's okay, i just took bus to home" I said. "No.. we just cancel the driver" Ellie said. The driver honking the horn. "It's okay... be quick guys.. the driver is waiting" I said, pushing them to the car. "Okay.. text me when you get home" Ellie said. I pulled my phone from my pocket to check what time is it now, but my phone died. Night of my life my ass. I start walking when suddenly a car stopped in front of me. "Hey... you are not leaving with your friend??" The stranger said. "Who??" I said. As i walked closer i realized it's Garrett. "Oh.. no the car is too small for three of us" I said. "Hop in.. I'll take you home" Garrett said. "No.. I'm fine. I just need to take a bus" I said. As i started to walk my road is blocked by his car. "I insist" He said. It's like on my right ear i heard my dad telling me not to owed to anyone, but on my left ear i heard myself telling it's cheaper and more easier. "Come on". My dad loses the argument so i went to his car. His car is like himself, exquisite, mysterious and smell good too. The entire decoration is black, the only light is coming from the car dashboard. "Where to go??" He asked. "I'll show you the way..". The entire trip is silent probably because we just getting to know each other and there is nothing to talk about and i'm getting very sleepy. "Hey... hey.. Where should we go??" He asked. "Hmm what?? oh.. turn left" I said sleepily. "Maybe you can just set your address on my phone so i can use the gps and go sleep" He said giving me phone. "Are you sure?? you can just drop me around there" I said pointing to the alley. "No way.. you are too sleepy and it's dangerous. Just type the address" He insist. "Okay... thank you so much for this" I said. I type down my address and give my phone to him. "Just go to sleep and I'll wake you when we get there" He said. Maybe i just close my eyes for awhile. "Hey wake up" Garrett said. "Hmm.. what??" I said groggily. "You are home.. " Garrett said. "Ohh.. Thank You,." I said while i got up form the car. "I will clean your shirt and again I'm sorry... and be safe driving to your home" I said. "No problem... I will go to your working place to take the shirt" He said. "Okay.." I said and then Garrett start the car and gone. I opened the door to the house, the house may not be big but it's clean and enough for me and my dad. After i come in i locked the door and go to dad bedroom. The small tv that i put in there since dad have been sick is still on meanwhile he is sleeping. I turned off the tv andtucked the blanked around my dad. "Goodnight, dad" I kissed his head and turned off the light. Now what i need to do is cleaning Garrett shirt, after searching around google, i tried some of the solution and hoped that it worked when i dried the clock then i go to bed.
