Love... Not Romance [BoyxBoy]

32 - Recollecting Past Love

 Well, you can say it's my fault, after all I'm the one who confessed to the whole world that I'm the one dating the famous Director Jovan Bellard, so I really have no choice but to go with what our parents wanted.

What they wanted was simple, for both parties to meet.

I was sitting nervously on the passenger seat of Nico's car. I sighed heavily as I imagined the mess that I brought the both of us into.

"Relax..." Nico said as he patted me on the shoulder. "I'm going to be by your side the whole time, so you don't have to worry." He told me.

"Why are they making such a big deal of this?" I sighed again.

"Probably because you announced in front of millions of people that we're dating," Nico said and then chuckled. "Which is something I'm really proud and happy about." He added with a smile.

"I should've thought things through before I opened my mouth," I said. "Dad is reacting exactly the way I thought he would; crazy. I bet he'll act even crazier during the dinner at your parents' house. Everyone in the office was staring at me, which is making me really nervous because I don't know what they are thinking. Perry kept on congratulating me, which is really annoying me. And Brent... my bestfriend wouldn't even talk to me," I sighed again.

Brent was pretty mad when he saw me on the news.

"I'm not angry because you're dating that guy, Kyle. I already had my suspicions. I'm not even mad that you kept it a secret, because trust me, I understand why. What I'm angry about is that you put yourself in such a compromising situation. Did you even think what would happen after this? For heaven's sake, you even told them to dig into your life! Kyle, are you really that crazy about that guy that your brain stopped working properly?!"

"Brent..." I pleaded.

"You know what, maybe I'm not that important to you that you didn't even think of confiding to me before making such hasty decisions. It's good that you made a stance for that guy, but for what cost, Kyle?" Brent said and then went back to his room.

It's been about two days since Brent last talked to me, and it was starting to really bother me. I'm not used to Brent getting angry at me, not at all. I'm not used to him not paying attention to me. I guess, all these years, Brent spoiled me to the point that I started thinking that everything I do would be fine to him.

"Drew..." Nico snapped me out of my trance. He held my hand and then squeezed it tight. "I'm sure Brent just need some time to cool off. He'll talk to you soon." Nico's smile was really reassuring, and I couldn't help but believe that everything would be fine.

Nico's family home was about an hour away, and as soon as Nico drove past the gate of the exclusive village, I knew exactly what kind of home was waiting for me. I shouldn't be that surprised, considering that I knew all along how filthy rich the Bellards are.

The wealth of the Bellards wasn't the one that shook me up, though. There was something about the village that so familiar, so nostalgic, that I couldn't stop squeezing my brain for any memories or recollection about it. I had no idea where I've seen or heard about it before, but I had definite feeling that I do know about that village, and that feeling only grew once the gate of the Bellard Mansion opened.

"Is everything alright?" Nico asked me when he saw the look on my face.

"Yeah... everything is fine..." I replied. Everything wasn't fine as I told Nico, because at the back of my head, I kept on thinking that I've been in that place before, and that simple thought was driving me crazy.

Things only got weirder for me.

When we entered the huge home of Nico. One of their maids greeted us. "Where are they?" Nico asked.
