Hollyoaks – Lose My Mind 3
Doug and Blaine go on their date where they bump into a downtrodden and jealous Ste. Blaine reveals a secret to Doug. Thanks to everyone who reviewed last chapter :)
"Wow this is a nice little coffee place" Blaine says from the sofa watching as Doug sat down beside him.
"Got you a cappuccino. Didn't know what to get you" Doug says handing Blaine the glass full of cappuccino.
"Thanks, I actually love cappuccino" Blaine comments taking a big mouthful of steaming hot cappuccino.
"Oh fuck!" Blaine swears as his lips and tongue are scalded by the extremely hot liquid, getting a laugh of Doug.
"That really hurt. So what did you order then?" Blaine mumbles out through his hand.
"Just a regular coffee" Doug says trying not to laugh again at Blaine burning his lips.
"So Doug, tell me about yourself" Blaine asks taking another mouthful of his drink.
"I don't think you want to hear about me, I'm boring" Doug commented looking into his drink.
"Aww, don't be like that. I do know we share and interest in baseball and we love the penis" Blaine casually says causing Doug to cough and splutter on his drink making Blaine laugh.
"So. My name is Blaine McEvoy-" Blaine says but Doug cuts him off.
"Wait! McEvoy? As in the McEvoy Mystics?" Doug asks looking shocked.
"Yeah." Blaine replies.
"Oh my god. My mom is really great friends with Mystic! Umm I think she was Lili McEvoy" Doug says sounding excited.
"Weird the only friend my mom has was Nina Carter. She wasn't a very social person even though she worked as a mystic." Blaine says not realising the connection.
"No way!" Doug says laughing slightly.
"Ok I'm confused" Blaine says staring blankly at Doug.
"My name is Doug Carter, my mom is Nina" Doug says smiling.
"OMG! What a small world!" Blaine says laughing with Doug.
"So continue now. I promise I'll shut up till you finish" Doug says smiling at Blaine.
"So yeah. My name is Blaine. I'm twenty. I'm a professional martial artist, well versed in various fighting styles, I'm also a qualified Geography and English teacher." Blaine says taking a deep breath when he finished speaking.
"You're a teacher? Well you should visit the sixth form collage, I know a girl, I think her name was Jen, they said they're looking for new teachers. That's if you're staying around Hollyoaks." Doug suggests.
"Yeah, I'm hoping to stay around. But I'm not really here for sight-seeing." Blaine says staring at his now empty drink.
"Oh? What are you here for then? Not to see me anyway, cos until today we didn't know each other and we practically grew up in the same neighbourhood" Doug asks.
"I'm really here to find my birth father" Blaine mumbles.
"Say what?" Doug exclaims.
"Yes. Before I moved to America, I lived in Ireland for five years" Blaine says not noticing Doug tense up at the mention of Ireland.
"So your real father is Irish?" Doug quietly asks.
"Yes, making me half making me half Irish" Blaine replies.
"…" Doug remains quiet making Blaine feel awkward.
"So you mentioned that your surname is Carter, does that mean you own that shop I ran into you outside of earlier?" Blaine asks.
"Yes, it is" Doug replies saying no more.
"Well come on Doug, you heard my life story. I want to hear yours!" Blaine says enthusiastically.
"Well, my name is Doug Carter, twenty, as you know. I'm from America. Well travelled around the world and recently realised I was gay" Doug mumbles.
"What do you mean recently gay? I mean I knew I was from the age of nine" Blaine asks.
"Well, all my life I thought I was straight. I went through a string of women, then I thought I met 'the One'. Her name was Rebecca, we hit it off immediately. I even bought a ring…" Doug mumbles. Blaine listens quietly and takes Doug's hand in his own and gives him a reassuring squeeze.
"Then she disappeared just like that… For months I didn't know where she was and then out of the blue, she turns up here and as quickly as I got her back she was gone." Doug says his voice breaking slightly.
"What happened?" Blaine asks when he hears Doug's voice break.
"She was murdered… By a serial killer who stalked this place for month. The sicko killed his own daughter, killed the guy who I came out for ex-girlfriend, targeted my friends too." Doug mumbles.
"Oh my god…" Blaine says with his jaw dropping open.
"He was sent down when my friend Lynsey exposed the killer, I was the only one to believe her" Doug looking around the coffee shop.
"Wow. America is looking a lot safer now" Blaine tries to make a joke but fails when Doug only offers him a brief smile.
"So you mentioned a guy…" Blaine asks.
"Yeah, his name is Ste. He's funny, cute, great with kids, even has two, he's kind and sensitive. We first met in this place… Competing for a job, we both messed up and the guy didn't hire any of us. We became fast and best friends after. We went into business too trying to set up a shop, but none of us had that amount of money. Ste wanted so bad to get that deli, to prove people wrong. So I went I got money for him from a questionable source and we got the deli" Doug says as Blaine listens on staring intently at Doug, taking in every detail of the story.
"When we were setting up the deli, it was when I started to question myself. I found myself looking forward to spending time with Ste. Whenever we touched or hugged it felt like electricity shoot throughout my body, it was like what I had with Becks but more electrifying. He was the first thing I thought of in the morning and the last thing on my mind before I fell asleep. I always checked my phone to see if he texted, still do. So then we both tried internet dating, at this stage I knew my feelings for him were growing, I just didn't know it yet. He ended up meeting a guy and that's when I realised because I got so jealous of the guy. I confronted Ste one day and confessed everything to him. But things got worse and we spilt. He chose his abusive ex over me…" Doug says finishing his story.
"…" Blaine remains silent trying to process everything Doug told him.
"You really love this guy don't you…" Blaine states.
"You have no idea" Doug mumbles.
"Is that why you were so upset earlier?" Blaine asks rubbing Doug's hand with his thumb.
"You could say that… I ran into his current guy. Things just went from bad to worse then. That bastards always has to make my life miserable" Doug replies sounding depressed.
"Does this bastard got a name?" Blaine asks.
"Brendan Brady…" Doug spits out with venom.
Doug fails to notice that Blaine temporarily stopped rubbing his hand and has become tense. The mention of the name stops Blaine in his tracks. Blaine realises he's gone quiet as Doug is now staring confusedly at him.
"Well he does sound like an absolute bastard. Brady… Is he Irish by any chance?" Blaine asks.
"Well he is a Brady. It's a shame. I feel so bad for his sister. He brings her a bad name" Doug replies.
"Hate him already" Blaine says offering Doug a smile.
"Why thank you" Doug says smiling again seeing Blaine smile. Doug can't help but think that Blaine's positivity is so infectious. Every time he sees Blaine smile at him, he feels a smile break out on his own face.
"Well. It's my turn to get the drinks. And please not a coffee this time. Coffee is dull and you are certainly not" Blaine says winking at Doug.
While Blaine goes up to get the drinks, Doug feels his mood get better again. Lynsey was right, he needed to do something like this. He felt actually happy even when Ste's name was mentioned. But speak of the devil, in arrives Ste into the coffee shop at Blaine sits down.
"Oh you've got to be kidding me" Doug mumbles seeing Ste walking over towards him.
"Doug, please we really need to talk…" Ste quietly says standing in front of a now pissed off looking Doug.
"Not now Ste!" Doug spits out wanting nothing to do with Ste right now.
"But Doug, please-" Blaine cuts off Ste.
"Are you deaf, retarded or can't understand the English language? The guy doesn't want to talk to you" Blaine says flicking Ste away.
"I don' remember speaking to you, so but out, ta. 'Cos it don' concern ya!" Ste snipes back.
"I think you'll find that when it involves my date, which you are currently ruining by the way with your bitchy attitude and the inability to comprehend the English language when we tell you to leave, so yeah it does concern me!" Blaine bitches back as good as Ste gave leaving Ste standing with a shocked look on his face and Doug trying his hardest not to crack a smile, but that is failing. Blaine emphasizes the point even more by taking Doug's hand gently into his own.
"Is this true?" Ste asks
"Eurgh. What more proof do you need?" Blaine asks getting annoyed.
"…" Ste remains speechless staring at Doug who's trying to hide his smirk.
Suddenly the look of annoyance on Blaine's face disappears and it is replaced with a very devilish smirk. He turns his head slowly like a cat in Doug's direction, who also turns and faces Blaine. Doug shoots Blaine a look of confusion.
"I know what will convince you" Blaine says gently pressing his lips onto Doug.
When the boys pull away, Ste is no longer around.
So here's chapter three of Lose My Mind. Unfortunately I wont have the next chapter up for the next few weeks as I'm going away on holiday for a little while starting Tuesday. But I will let you guys know that you have a new Stug oneshot and a Doug/Ethan oneshot to look forward to. And for those of you who have been trying to picture Blaine. Think of Tom Daley (Olympic Diver – 2012) but with Blonde Hair & Blue eyes but with the voice of Darren Criss. Anyway that's all from me for now. So bye bye. R&R
