Somewhere in Neverland
Weekends with old friends spilling into 9-5 routine
I take a shaky breath when I hear a knock on the door and I go answer it quickly,
'Hi.' the man in front of me smiles, less green, as promised, and instead wearing black skinny jeans and a blink 182 pullover hoodie and his hair is messily styled,
'Hey Peter Pan.' I chuckle and let him in,
'Its Alex.' he laughs softly,
'Well, it's lovely to meet you Alex.' I smile,
'You too mini me's daddy.' he grins and I roll my eyes.
-
'You're only 22? How olds Danny?' Alex asks,
'5. I told you, me and his mum were young.' I sigh,
'I think it's cool that you're so young. It means you treat him more like a kid.' He smiles and I smile back softly,
'Where do you live?' Alex asks,
'Only about 20 miles away. I booked the hotel because I wanted Dan to experience the whole thing.' I smile,
'You really are the best dad ever, oh my god.' he beams and I blush, 'Cute too.' he smiles and I blush harder, 'I don't just hit on all the kids dads ya know, you're the first.' he chuckles and I laugh softly,
'Why me then?' I ask,
'I saw you and thought you were beautiful, I just, sort of, instantly became attracted to you.' he says sheepishly,
'Well that's a first.' I smirk,
'I doubt that, you're fucking gorgeous.' he smiles, sipping on his coffee,
'You're cute.' I chuckle, 'But I'm not.' I shrug,
'Shush, you, yes you are.' he whispers,
'Stop it, I'm not.' I laugh,
'Jack. Shut up, yes you are.' he says sternly,
'You can be quite threatening... But you're still cute.' I chuckle and he rolls his eyes,
'Im gonna get to see you again, yeah?' he asks and I nod,
'If you want.' I smile,
'Oh yeah, I really want.' he smirks and I chuckle softly.
'So, what do you do for a living?' Alex asks,
'Im a studio guitarist.' I shrug,
'Oh wow, that's really cool.' Alex smiles and I raise an eyebrow,
'Really? That's coming from Peter fucking Pan.' I smirk and he shrugs,
'I love my job, I really do, by putting on such a happy appearance when you often aren't is really difficult.' he sighs and I frown,
'Alex...' I whisper,
'Im alright. Don't worry. I might not be a 100% happy all the time but being Peter helps a lot. I like making people smile.' he says softly and I hug him tightly.
