Jay's Pov
David: "Finally"
Jay: "What?"
David :"I don't really love you Jay, I just wanted you to realise your love for Keifer"
Jay: "I don't understand what you are trying to say"
David: "This was all planned, I did this because I still feel guilty for the way I treated you and the way things ended with us, and with me starting a new life, I felt like maybe I could do something to help and then I realised you were in love with him because you left your work and went for him but I know you are not the type to realise it soon even by yourself even if it is in front of you, So I was thinking and Freya joined me and gave me this plan, I am sorry for what I did, now go get him"
Just as he said Freya walked in,
Freya: "He is a good guy don't miss him "
I did not reply, I just leave the place searching for him, I went around to see if he is anywhere, but he isn't then my assistant comes towards me,
A: "What happened ma'am do you need something?"
Jay: "Have you seen Keifer?"
A: "Yeah, I saw him in the bar, should I go get him?"
I do not reply to her instead I go to the bar myself, I look around and finally found him in the corner, but his state was no good, the was already 2 bottle lying around him empty and he was going for an another,
I quickly run towards him, I take the bottle from his hand and he finally looks up and give me laughter,
Keifer: "Okay, Now I have entered the last stage of madness, I even started imagining you everywhere" he says in the middle of the laughter
Jay: "Keifer, it's me get up, What are you doing?"
Keifer: "I don't know, I should leave I should leave to New York" he says and tries to stand up but stumbles and I catch him immediately,
Jay: "Keifer"
he takes my hand and put it aside and it feels like he still sees me as imagination,
he keeps walking and I follow him,
Jay: "Keifer wait" he is walking around stumbling, I go and hold him,
he is partially unconscious now, So I drag him to my car, and after so much difficulty I place him on the car and make him wear the seatbelt,
he is mumbling something all the way but I couldn't focus on it because I am driving, I just keep my other hand on him and keep patting him,
After that we reach our place, still he isn't fully conscious yet, So I ask the security for help, he comes and helps me and both of us take him him to his room and put him on the bed,
after that I mutter a thank you the security and he leaves,
I go in to bring some water for him, I enter and make him sit up and feed him the water and after that he looks at me and suddenly starts crying, I panic and cup his face immediately,
Jay: "Keifer Keifer what happened?"
Keifer: "Why you didn't fall in love me Jay?" he asks in between sobs and the moment he asks that tears start to flow from my eyes,
but I don't speak and let him speak his heart out,
Keifer: "I know I am just an option in everyone's life, just a convenience but I really thought.... his voice breaks... I meant something more to you" I just nod a no,
Keifer: "I don't know but I lived in the hope that maybe one day you will fall in love with me but today" he clutches his heart with tears,
Keifer: "Today when I saw him hugging you, it pained like hell, the pain that made me realise you aren't mine, it hurts Jay" he says crying
Jay: "Keifer" I call for him softly,
Keifer: "No one has ever chosen me for me Jay except for my mom but I don't know why I thought maybe you would but you too didn't, maybe it isn't for me I guess"
Jay: "No no Keifer" I nod my head in a no and want to shout to him that I love only him but I couldn't because right now all I am seeing is his pain and I want him to let it out and also even If I did confess he wouldn't remember it,
I take my hands to wipe his tear but he starts to cry more, and suddenly places his face on waist and hugs me tightly,
Keifer: "Jay please don't leave me please" he says and tightens the hug, I couldn't help but cry hardly because the pain that he have been holding inside him all along, I place a hand on his hair,
but he moves anxiously as if it is a sign of me leaving,
Keifer: "Jay please I know I am selfish but please stay please please" he says while crying and holding me tighter,
I cry and reply,
Jay: "Keifer, I am not going anywhere"
he calms down a little but still doesn't leave and still keep mumbling, please Jay and stay, I slowly caress his hair and both of us slowly fall asleep like that, he sleeps on my lap, and I decide to clear everything out in the morning, I wipe away his tears,
I woke in the morning to an empty room, Keifer no where to found, I checked the whole and even called for him,
I came out to see he was no where to be found, I tried calling him but he wasn't picking up, then I called his assistant,
Jay: "Where is Keifer?"
A: "Sir has left to the airport ma'am"
Jay: "When?"
A: "Yeah, he booked another one today leaving in few hours"
Tears started pouring my eyes because of the thought of not seeing him or worst losing him,
I immediately went to my car and started driving faster, I was wiping my tears as I was driving and all I could think about was him, how have I hurt him.
At that moment all I needed was him, I need him, I pulled up at the airport and started running inside to search and tried calling him again but he did not pick up, I run around like an idiot but I didn't care at that moment.
I ran to him he was standing in there alone, I went there with a smile, he looked at me and smiled but it was a different one, I could see his eyes were red and he starts speaking,
Keifer: "Congratulations, You finally got your love David, I am really happy for you, I am happy that you finally got what you dreamed off, not everyone is lucky enough for that, I just want you to be truly happy"
I lost the smile when he said that, I moved closer to him, I don't why I got angry on him, maybe because he tried to leave without informing me while asking me to stay last night, So
I slapped him,
Keifer: "Ahh, why did you do that?" He asked rubbing his cheeks
Jay: "You decided to leave without telling me" I ask with tears in my eyes,
he stands there silently with a guilty face,
Then I pulled him by collar and kissed him, he was shocked by my actions and did not respond to my kiss but I pulled him more closer and he quickly started responding to my kiss. We slowly pulled away but I was still clutching his shirt and he was still stunned by my action.
Jay: "I love you" I finally said those words to him,
Keifer: "Ahn" he still couldn't comprehend what was happening. He still had an unbelievable reaction to what I was saying,
Jay: "I LOVE YOU, You not David, I don't know how and when it happened but it did, I realised I wanted to do silly things with you, I wanted someone to act totally crazy like me and that's you, and most importantly I love how you care even about my tiniest wishes, like a cake. and most importantly when you said that you will leaving to New York, my heart sank, because you became a part of my of life without even me realising it, and now whatever, happens I just want to share it with you, You have became my person, I don't want to loose you.'
That day when we kissed I panicked and got caught up in my mind, I said those things, I am sorry.
Jay: "Please don't leave me" I asked him still clutching his shirt but he stayed silent, I was starting to get scared whether if he is feeling the same,
then he came and cupped my face,
Keifer: "You won't call this a mistake right?" he asked slowly cupping my face, with a smile
I did not respond instead I just leaned closer and kissed him,
and we pulled back,
Jay: "Even If I did it is best possible mistake I could ever make"
