Xavier woke up to Clementine jumping on his bed. He had the day off and she didn't have school so he had promised to do something with her. He groaned and then opened his eyes and pulled her down to make her stop jumping. "How about you go get dressed and then we can get ice cream?" She pretended to think it over for a moment before running through the house and to her own room.
Xavier sighed and then got up, changing into some loose jeans and a blue t shirt. He was just getting his shoes on when she came running out with her hair only half brushed and a huge grin on her face. "You're hair, Clemmy" She pouted at him and he sighed again. Okay, fine. It looks wonderful like that. Let's go!" He led her out the door and as soon as they were out on the street she decided that she wanted a piggy back ride. He obliged.
It didn't take them long to get to the ice cream place and she was babbling about how her dolls would want ice cream too. He grinned at her and they both ordered some ice cream before finding a place inside where they could sit and enjoy it.

Alex was writing at home on his lap top. For some reason, he finally decided to get that book he'd been wanting to write, started. It was called, "My life is an open book". About a man that has problems finding his place in a world of perfect people. A metaphor to Alex's life. It seemed like no one else had trouble with anything.
He was a schizophrenic , pill popping, closeted gay man. Well not gay, he liked women and men the same. But he decided to opt out of telling folks he was gay. Why? Because he didn't want another thing on his plate. His parents already have a pill popping, hallucinating son. Why add something else to the list.
Oddly enough, Alex was starting to feel more attracted to men by the day. It was more like, a growing attraction. The women constantly in and out of his apartment were honestly turning him off. He wanted a man.
Attempting to shake the thoughts from his brain, he popped another white pill and closed his laptop. Writing was beginning to make him angry. And when Alex got angry, he was truly angry. So he got up, and decided to take a walk.
He didn't live too far away from the ice cream shop, so his cloudy mind thought, what the hell? Why not go and get some ice cream? He came up to the store, pushed the door open and went to stand in line. Vanilla Ice Cream with sprinkles. Sometimes he acted like such a kid. He noticed the people in front of him. More like the man, he didn't notice the child. He reached up and tapped the man's shoulder.
"Xavier? From the Enquirer? It's Alex. I work for Gossip." He smiled a kind friendly smile, and hoped to god this was him. How embarrassing would it be if it wasn't him?

Xavier felt the tap on his shoulder and turned around, raising an eyebrow. It took him a moment to recognize the other man but as soon as he did he gave him a friendly smile. "Hey, Alex!" He felt Clementine grab tightly to his leg and turned to look at her. She was hiding behind his leg. "It's okay, Clem. He's a friend" She seemed uncertain for a moment before narrowing her eyes at Alex. "Did you follow us here? Are you a stalker? Are you really my dad's friend? Do you like ice cream? What's your favorite kind?" Xavier quickly interrupted her, "Shhhh. You don't need to ask him a million questions." He shrugged apologetically at Alex.
He couldn't lie and say that he didn't find the other man attractive because he was extremely attractive. Xavier was open about his sexuality but that did not mean he felt comfortable sharing when he found someone good looking. What brings you here?" he asked, curiously as they slowly moved forward in line. Clementine chose to cling to his leg again and listen to the conversation. He moved to rest a hand on her shoulder to make sure that she wouldn't decide to wander off. She had done that before and it had been a living hell for Xavier when he had searched for her.

Oh thank the heavens. It was him, which meant Alex didn't have to go crazy over being embarrassed later. Alex knew it had to be Xavier. And he was happy it was. Since Alex didn't appear outside of his office to do much, on the rare occasions when he did, he'd see workers walking around getting things done. He could remember one or two occasions of seeing Xavier, but he never said hello.
And this is where the growing attraction to men stepped in. Xavier had stunning features, and Alex just kept running over them. Hopefully Xavier didn't realize because that would make this situation awfully weird.
Alex finally took his eyes off the man and looked down to the adorable child he had with him. He couldn't help but let ut a hearty laugh at the young girl. "Uh no, I promise I didn't stalk you. I come here all the time. I LOVE ice cream and my favorite is vanilla and sprinkles." He smiled at Xavier and shook his head. "No. the questions are fine. I ask people them all the time, it's nice to have someone ask me questions for a change."
Alex Nodded at the young girl and then turned his attention back to Xavier. "Oh nothing. I think I'm going through, um, uh.." Alex began to stammer. Only because of his constant pill taking, it was just a minor side effect. "Writers block. Yes that's it. So I just walked on over to get some ice cream." He smiled hoping he didn't notice his stammer. "What about you two? I didn't know you had a daughter." Alex stuck his hands in his pockets and awaited the answer.
