QT: I Bent The Male Lead - Chapter 102
Jason slept under the moonlight watching the sky. His mind talking him back to the day that he confessed his feelings for Davy.
******
~Flashback~
Get a room you two,” a deep voice echoed from the door.
Jason and Davy lifted their eyes from each other towards the door. They were startled by the person that spoke. Davy’s smile bloomed when he noted the people that had arrived at the house. The day that seemed dark before kept getting better and better.
First, he had discovered the irresistible attraction that was developing in Jason for him. He wasn’t sure about the depths of his feelings but certainly enjoyed the feeling of knowing that some of what he felt for the male was requited.
“Brother,” Davy called out exited to see his half-brother and his wife by the door. He had not seen them in a while and it was certainly nice to see them there. They had come at the perfect time.
“Did you miss me?” the man strode into the room and gave him a hug. “There is no media in the country and beyond that isn’t talking about you at the moment,” he added.
Davy could not help but shake his head. It was not that he wanted to become the talk of the nation, he just couldn’t help it. Whether or not there was anything interesting to report about him, the world talked of him.
It came with being born a Blakemore, the heir of the country’s famous family and being the CEO of such a big company.
“How else are they supposed to start their day, Matthew?” he questioned.
“Smooth,” his brother replied. His wife, Joy walked into the room. She greeted Jason while the brothers were having their moment.
“Joy, how are you?” Davy inquired approaching her.
“How can I be good when you have ghosted me?” she asked feigning a pout.
Davy lifted her from the ground and swung her in the air. “How can you say that about your favorite brother?” he asked her.
“Say I’m forgiven or I won’t let you down,” Davy challenged.
“I’m good with not forgiving you for a few minutes,” Joy said enjoying being carried.
Jason watched their interactions and felt a pang in his heart, he understood that it was the way that the two of them normally fooled around with each other. It was how they showed that they cared for one another.
Normally he didn’t care what the two of them did together since they were just friends but things had changed.
He looked at Davy differently and as such he didn’t want to see him get close to any other woman or man other than himself. It was a possessive side of him that Jason had never seen before. The need to go to them and tear that girl away from Davy was burning inside of him making him angry and bitter.
He had always thought that it was a sign of his maturity and the fact that he wasn’t like normal boys to fool around with girls but his situation was different.
Until that moment when all of him burnt with jealousy, he had always looked down on such people who were constantly on edge when they saw the guy that they like in the arms of another woman or man, who didn’t mean anything to the man.
Now that he stood in the same spot as such women and men he understood it, it wasn’t that they weren’t sure of the man or that they didn’t trust their partners. They just didn’t want anyone else being close to what was theirs.
“Are you okay, Jason?” Matthew asked taking note of his changed mood. Davy looked away from Joy for a moment to check on him. Jason was his guest and needed to be cared for more than ever.
“Yes, I am fine,” Jason replied. Davy set Joy down and walked over to Jason’s side. He figured that even if something was wrong the boy, he might find it hard to say it in front of his brother and his wife.
“Come with me,” he said to Jason. “We will be back, bro. you guys make yourselves at home,” he turned to his brother.
Davy pulled Jason away from the living room towards the stairs. Jason had his eyes at the hand that was holding hiss. The warmth that he felt from him was comforting. It lifted his mood and spirit and made him happy again.
Seeing how Davy left what he was doing and rushed to him when he thought that something was wrong with him, filled his with joy. It was something that only he ever did for him. Neither his mother, his father, his friends ever made her feel so special. When it came to them, everything else was more important than Jason.
Yet with Davy it was the opposite. He made time for everything but when it came to Jason, he was more than willing to set all those things aside just to let him know that he was there for him. It wasn’t that he was less busy that everyone else, his priorities just made Jason more important than everything else in his life.
To know that she meant that much to someone made his heart warm up with love. After getting hurt by the wrong person, his eyes opened to the perfect person before him.
Davy led him to the nearest room on the second floor. He ushered Jason into the room and locked the door behind them to avoid being disturbed. He brought Jason to the bed and sat him down.
“Are you alright?” he questioned to him with a worried look in his eyes.
“Are you in any pain?” he inquired from him reaching for his phone in case he may need to call the doctor to come and check on her.
Jason gazed at him with tears in her eyes, he had always been nice to him.
He smiled at the realization, the man loved him so much he didn’t know how to do anything other than to be good to him. He took such great care for Jason and was concerned for his wellbeing.
But he didn’t feel alone because he was with her. Davy raised his chin to ask again in case Jason didn’t hear him the first time, he found tears in his eyes. “Is it that bad? I will call the doctor,” Davy said panicked. He dialed the doctor on his phone but Jason held his hand before he could call the doctor.
“I have caused you so much pain. You were ready to walk away from me, why didn’t you?” he questioned him.
Davy wiped her tears and held Jason’s hands in his. He met his gaze and smiled. Yes, he couldn’t deny that the last few days had been the most trying times of his life. And he had reached a point in his life where he was ready to throw everything away just to ease the pain he felt.
But he forgot all that when he came close to him. His heart surprised him, he wasn’t the most forgiving person and when it came to those who hurt him, he can be the most ruthless person. But with Jason it was different, he was the one person that hurt him the most yet he loved the male nonetheless. He loved every part of him, even his flaws and mistakes.
All it took was one sign of love from the male and he let go of all anger, sadness and pain that he was feeling. He was his kryptonite, his weakness that he couldn’t walk away from.
“I couldn’t hate you even if I tried,” he confessed to Jason. “just like, you couldn’t love me even if you tri..”
Jason stopped him in his speech. That was the problem, he never tried to find out if the two of them could be anything more and failed to notice the feelings that were always there in his heart for Davy. She loved him, maybe not as much as he loved him but she burnt for him deep in her heart.
“Anyway, I am not angry anymore. So tell me, what is the problem with you?”
Jason took his hand and brought it to his chest, he placed his hand on his chest above his heart. “The pain is in here,” he said to him.
Davy’s lips parted to say something but no word came out. He didn’t know the advice that he was supposed to give him.He was going to tell Jason that it will get better and he will move on one day but when he could never move on from Jason for all these time how could he tell him that.
It was heartbreaking for him to see Jason in that state. He wished that he could take away his pain and make her smile again the way that she always did.
“Someday, you will meet someone new and fall madly in love with them. Then, you would have moved on without even realizing it and you forget…”
Jason shushed him. He wasn’t getting her point. He was in pain because of him. “I hurt because of you,” she let out in words.
Davy bit his lower lip. He felt guilty over all the words that he had said to Jason in anger.
“I burn deeply for you,” Jason uttered.
Davy raised his head, he blinked his eyes. He didn’t think that he heard Jason correctly, either he was imagining things and had lost his mind or the man just said that he burnt for him. He couldn’t believe his ears.
“What was that, I didn’t get you the first time?”
Jason looked him in the eyes. He held back a smile seeing the man’s reaction, Jason had just confessed to having feeling for him and he seemed shocked. Yet he found it cute instead of annoying, he leaned next to Davy’s ear. That too without removing his hand on his chest.
“You have given my heart a new beat. It pounding in my chest calling out your name. Can’t you feel it?” he paused and met his gaze. Davy could have sworn that he was dreaming, there was no way that Jason would say that to him in real life.
He could feel Jason’s heart beating against his chest through his hand. He swallowed the lump in his throat, he made him nervous.
“A flame burns in my heart, the fire that only you can extinguish,” Jason began to say to him.. “I will tell you every day, I burn for you, Davion Blakemore,” he confessed.
