Chapter 118: 2nd Side Story-07

LEON

I have never heard of anyone who doesn’t collect someone’s number and who comes and goes to their house more than they themselves do. But I have seen someone like that. And that is no one other than me. Yes, I don’t have Joe’s number.

I consider myself one of the most wisher men alive. But it appears that I am as useless as Jules. Good for nothing. There have been very few times when I have felt this frustrated.

So... how do I get Joe to meet me?

Joe once told me that Ruth stayed at John’s place. And he also told me where John lived. Should I go and check? Will he call me weird if I do this? I don’t have the time to think about all this. I need to find him. I need to find the answers to the broken questions inside me.

I need to know why I feel so empty when he is not around. Why do I want to see him everywhere? Why is it his voice that I always want to hear? I need to know. I have to know the reason behind my sleepless nights. I wasn’t like this before he came into my life. He made me like this. All breathless, sleepless, restless, and some unwanted desires.

This is 9 pm, I take my keys from the table counter and step out to look for the man who left and took my heart four weeks ago. And it’s all my fault, I let him go. I pushed him away without fighting for him... My grip around the stirring wheel tightens, making my knuckles go white as I drive through the streets.

I reach the apartment building. But the security is too high, so they won’t let me enter. So I make use of my influence and with just one call they let me enter the building. I look up to John’s apartment and seek it out. But when I ring the bell, my heart drumming inside my chest, no one answers. No one is at home.

I stand here, in front of his door, but no one is there to answer. After waiting for an hour, the gears in my head switch from anticipation to frustration and I turn on my heels. I feel so angry... angry at myself, for being this useless and letting the most precious thing slip away from me...

I pull my car out of the driveway and drive to the nearest bar. I desperately need a drink right now. I can’t bear the pain, the hollowness I am feeling within me. I never thought those innocent green eyes would leave me this devasted, this broken. I never thought that those eyes would make me yarn for them like this like I have lost my head. Like I am nothing but a shell, waiting for someone to fill me up with love.

Wait... Love...? Do I love him...?

I push through the door of the bar with more force than necessary. I slide onto an empty seat before the counter, "Something strong please." I don’t look up at the bartender as I make my order.

I miss the small gasp escaping the bartender’s throat as I am too consumed in trying to get my mind off the things happening around me. I am mentally too broken to notice all the details.

After a few moments, the bartender places my order before me. For some reason, his hands look so familiar but I miss it as well. I pick up the glass from the table but before I can chug the content down my throat, a blond Alpha slides onto the seat beside me. I don’t pay him much mind but his words catch my attention.

"Hey Joe, didn’t know you were coming in today as well." The blondie remarks all smiles, "You are coming in more these days."

"H-Hey Yuri..." The bartender’s voice is meely and nervous but I have heard this voice countless times before. I know it too well.

My heart clenches and my head snaps in his direction. My dark eyes meet a pair of green ones and a wave of relief washes over me. I blink a few times as if to check it is real. As if to check that it isn’t like all those times when I would think Joe was there and the next moment he wouldn’t.

"Joe?" I blurt out, maybe I am staring at him too much but i don’t care. I don’t want to take my eyes off him. I want to marvel my eyes with the sight of him a moment longer.

"H-Hello." Joe’s eyes dart nervously as he greets and lowers his head.

"What are you doing here?" I ask, eye the bar. I knew that he had a job but he never told me that he worked in a bar.

"I work here..." Joe says then his features harden, "But I don’t think this is any of your business, Mr. Snow. I am not your baby duck." I can see the flush of anger in those eyes.

He looks so cute when he is angry...

He is like a little child pouting for candy. I can’t help but chuckle and shake my head, smitten by his cuteness.

"W-Why are you laughing like this?" Joe actually pouts this time.

"Hey, do you guys know each other?" The blondie intercepts.

But I don’t bother to answer him. "When do you get off your shift?" I ask Joe.

"T-Two more hours..." Joe blurts, "Why?"

"I will wait for you outside." I get on my feet and head toward the exit, "Don’t make me wait for too long."

"H-Hey!" He bellows after me, "Why would you do that?"

I just chuckle and don’t answer him.

After waiting for him for what seems like an eternity, I see Joe at least coming out from inside. I small smile tugs on the corner of my lips. I step out of the shadow that was sheltering me. Joe scans around the area, seemingly looking for me.

"Hey." I approach him from behind, making his startle.

"Mr. Snow." He gasps, "Why—"

I don’t waste any time and wrap my arm around his waist and pull him closer before capturing his lips with mine. Joe’s eyes widen and his eyebrows jump to his forehead at my sudden action. I break the kiss.

"I am not wasting any more time waiting around for you Joe." I look him in the eyes, there is nothing but sincerity in my voice, "I will take you right here and now. There i no more pushing away and being pushed away. From now on you are going to be my omega, Joe Harlock."
