THIRD PERSON'S POV

It was raining that night.

The crowd is bustling, and the world is noisy and chaotic.

A black car stopped in front of a bakery shop and a tall man hurriedly walked inside. A few minutes later the door opened and the man came out with a cake in his hand.

He took off his jacket and used it to cover the box of cake instead of himself. He didn't hesitate to rush in the rain to go to the place where he parked his car while squinting his eyes.

Suddenly, he bumped into someone. Fortunately, the box didn't fall because he was holding it too tight.

"I'm sorry!" the woman said before running to the bakery shop where Alex bought the cake.

Alex ignored her and quickly opened the door of his car and went inside. He had to hurry, since there was only twenty-four minutes left before James' birthday.

He didn't bother to wipe the raindrops off of his body and immediately turned on the car engine as he pulled the gear and drove away.

What an unlucky night! It was raining hard and there was a lot of traffic on the road. Alex heard a car's horn and he glanced at the car behind him through the front mirror. He saw a middle-aged man stretching his neck outside of his car's window.

"Hey! Move away!" The man shouted and rang the horn again.

Alex turned his gaze back to the front and ignored him, then raised his arm where his wristwatch was, to read the time.

Alex silently counts the time left. There are still twelve minutes before James' birthday.

He had already informed his lover that he would not be able to celebrate his birthday with him because he had a business trip scheduled that day and it would take 3 days before his return.

But in truth, Alex was preparing for a big surprise for his boyfriend. He put his hand inside his suit and touched the ring inside his inner pocket and smiled.

'Today would be the most memorable day for both of us.'

Alex saw the cake box sitting quietly next to him. He picked it up and carefully wiped the wet parts caused by the heavy rain with his handcuffs.

When he found out that the water penetrated inside the plastic cover and damaged the design, Alex frowned and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

If only the bakery shop had been close to this place and he still had plenty of time left, he wouldn't hesitate to go back to buy a new box of cake for his lover.

It's not that his lover is too picky. Alex just always wants the best for himself.

A loud sound of thunder roared and lightning drew in the night sky, interrupting his thoughts.

Alex impatiently tapped his fingers on the steering wheel and glanced at his wristwatch again for the seventh time.

56 seconds.... 57....58.... 59...

At approximately 11:48pm, he opened the door of his car and ran straight to the dark alley, leaving his car behind in the middle of the road. Alex remembered that his lover told him that this alley was the shortcut to their house.

He heard the calls from people asking him where he was going and to go back and get his car. It doesn't matter, his proposal turned out well and their boss promoted him into a higher position.

He can just buy another car for him or for James. Now that he has a bigger salary, he can now buy anything his lover wants.

Alex happily ran towards the dark, not knowing the danger waiting inside. With a 'woosshhh!', Alex was thrown on the ground and immediately coughed blood.

He heard footsteps walking towards him. Alex immediately panicked and tried to stand but eventually fell on the ground again.

The man stepped on his head and pressed his head down. "Give me all your money, quick! Don't you dare yell or else I'll shoot you!"

Alex was hit in his chest, which made him can't breathe for a while or speak.

The man noticed that Alex was only coughing blood and having difficulty breathing. The man let out a curse and squatted down next to him.

He put his hands in his pockets and groped for a while. Alex gritted his teeth to endure his hand touching him since he didn't have the strength to struggle and he also still wanted to live. Someone was waiting for him.

Alex glanced at the gun in his and subconsciously touched the ring hidden inside his inner pocket. If only he could have snatched his gun...

Alex gulped and slowly stretched his hand towards the gun.

The guy was very satisfied by what he saw and immediately revealed a broad grin. He turned to Alex and tapped his cheek using his gun.

"This was a lot more than I expected, thanks!"

The thunderstorm flashed and lightened up the handsome face of the stranger squatting next to him.

At the same time, the man saw Alex's whole appearance. He has a delicate and smooth, pale face. His almond eyes that were squinting were unbelievably attractive. He looks weak and very fragile.

The man touched Alex's slightly parted lips, which were dry and purple due to the rain, and he unexpectedly found them soft to touch. He rubbed it a few more times until Alex groaned in pain and the lips turned back into a red color that he just stopped.

His throat bobbed as his gaze dropped down to Alex's neck and down to his chest. His collar's button was accidentally broken by the man when he was hit earlier, revealing a small portion of snowy white skin and delicate collarbones.

Suddenly, the guy put his hands inside his clothes and groped his chest. Alex widens his eyes in surprise and quickly pushes the stranger away.

But the man immediately grabbed his wrist with one hand. He squeezed his jaw and forced him to look up, and the next moment, his scream was blocked by the man's lips.

Suddenly, a hot and humid tongue entered and plundered inside his mouth.

"Hmpph!"

Alex struggled from the man's grip, using his full strength, he raised his hand and punched him on his face. But the gap between him and the other person's strength was too great. As a result, Alex received a powerful blow on his stomach in exchange.

The man gave him a few more punches before stopping hitting him. Then, he effortlessly turned him around and pressed him on the ground. He violently pulled down his pants and underwear, and without saying a word, he entered his ass without any preparation.

Alex wrinkled his face in pain and clenched his fist tight, his nails digging into his flesh. He unconsciously tightened his ass, making the man moan in pleasure. A red liquid with a metallic smell flowed down from his ass down to his thighs.

"Ugh! You're so tight!"

The man groaned pleasure and pressed his face deeper into the mud water as he continued thrusting inside him, hard and fast.

Alex doesn't know how many times he was tossed around by the man and how many times his hot semen shot inside. All he could think of was James.

"Thanks for accompanying me, I enjoyed your slutty hole so much!"

The man chuckled as he closed the button on his pants. Before he left, he didn't forget to give Alex a few kicks in his stomach and kissed his bleeding lips.

When he was sure the man was already gone, Alex immediately turned over and weakly crawled towards the box.

Alex opened the box with trembling hands and was very depressed to see that it was smashed and could no longer be recognizable. The icing had spread to every corner and the cake was divided into two.

His asshole hurt a lot and a sticky liquid with a mixture of blood and cum was flowing down his thighs.

Alex didn't pay attention to it, and took a deep breath instead and slowly raised himself up.

Alex spat out blood and he wiped the blood stains on his face blankly. He weakly put on his pants, his face wrinkled, when he felt the part where he got punched ache, every time he moved his muscles.

Alex had no idea how many minutes had passed, the only thing on his mind was James. He only remembered his lover's sad and sullen face when he told him that he had a business trip on the day of his birthday.

Thinking about his lover, a faint smile drew to his lips and he suddenly felt like he was full of strength and not hurt at all.

Alex bent down to pick up the box that was on the ground and staggered to his feet as he took a few steps forward.

He needs to hurry, James is waiting for him at home.

___________

Alex was walking alone on the road under the heavy rain. Everyone he encounters on the way will always give him a strange and weird look.

Alex undeniably looks really pathetic now. He had bruises on his face, his suit was stained with blood, and he was thoroughly soaked in the rain. But from beginning to end, no one asked why he looked like a mess.

When he arrived in their neighborhood, the security guard immediately greeted him.

"Mr. Montenegro!"

Alex raised his eyes and saw the guard walking towards him. The person's eyes were filled with distress and pity.

"Mr. Montenegro."

The guard stopped in front of him and called him again. He opened his mouth several times to say something but he was unable to speak.

Alex glanced at the wall clock hanging inside the guard house and lowered his eyes to look at the box that he was holding.

12:44 am. It's alright. James would definitely understand why he was late. It's not half past one and they can still celebrate his birthday.

"You're soaked in the rain. Please wait a moment!"

The guard hurriedly went inside the guard's house and came out of the door with an umbrella in his hand.

Alex shook his head and answered him with a hoarse voice, "It's okay. The rain is getting weak, so it might not be necessary."

He said and bowed his head and started walking away.

On the way, I came across an ambulance. The sound that it was making was too loud and the red and blue colors on the van were especially bright. In this subdivision, there's only a few lamp posts in every corner and it has dark and dim light bulbs. So, the bright lights of the ambulance were too eye-catching for him.

'Maybe our neighbor, Mrs. Schubert, was rushed to the hospital.' He thought.

The old woman had a habit of watering her plants every afternoon, but since last week, he hadn't seen her outside their neighborhood. He heard that the old woman had tuberculosis. I hope that it wasn't that serious.

When he passed the second corner of their neighborhood, he didn't know why, but he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart. He swallowed to wet his dry throat and fasten his pace.

The sky roared once again and in an instant, the weak rain suddenly intensified, accompanied by flashes of lightning and rolling thunder.

Alex crossed the road and stopped walking halfway.

"Hah."

Alex let out a sigh of disbelief. In the middle of the storm, he caught sight of the two figures kissing under the tree.

The thunder roared once again but he remained motionless, staring at the two people without even blinking.

He almost thought that there were actors shooting a movie nearby. But he didn't see any cameras or staff surrounding them, so maybe they were not.

This scene was so perfect and romantic. It was like watching a Korean drama.

Their kiss looks so pure and full of love. The man's hand was wrapped around her waist while the latter was holding the back of his neck.

They were holding each other so tight, as if they were two people drowning in the middle of the sea and only the person in front of them was the one who could save them.

After their long passionate kiss ended, both of them smiled and looked at each other's eyes lovingly.

Thunder flashed, illuminating the bitter smile drawn on their lips while looking at them with great envy.

How sweet. He almost admired this couple, they looked so happily in love with each other and both of them were good-looking.

"They looked good together." Alex whispered.

But then, reality came to him.

The two people kissing in front of their house were his boyfriend and his best friend Hannah.
