VegasPete - Vows

~3~

Pete finally arrived at Vegas's office for a meeting about their divorce arrangements.

VEGAS

I'm here

13th floor, conference room.

Kinn's already here.

He hopped on one of the elevators and pressed the button which read 13.

As the numbers on the led board increased Pete's pulse did too. He hasn't met him since his vacation. He is quite nervous to meet him.

From the day he returned he stayed at Ken's place. Pete wasn't exactly avoiding Vegas but he wasn't ready yet to face him.

He mustered up his courage to see him regarding their divorce papers.

Pete's legs on their own led him to the conference room and he sat opposite Vegas facing him on the round table. Next to him was Kinn, seated with his papers and his laptop going through the pages.

Later he handed copies of the papers to Vegas and Pete to have a check on the draft.

After a while of reading and scratching out, Pete could feel Vegas's eye boring a hole right into him but he didn't dare to look at him.

I got distracted by the buzz of a phone. It was Kinn's.

"Gentlemen, why don't we take a break?" he stood as Vegas nodded.

Pete and Vegas could see from his smile it has to be Porsche. They looked at each other and smiled, that was the only contact they had in weeks.

~~~

Vegas saw Pete staring outside the building leaning on the glass wall.

He saw Pete taking a puff out of his cigarette and exhaling.

Vegas approached the latter with a cup of coffee as he took another puff. Pete coughed when he saw Vegas with his peripheral vision.

"Pete." Vegas smiled and handed him the coffee.

"Thank you!" Pete refused to meet his eyes.

"It's good to see you," he stammered "you l.. look good"

Pete scratched his nape "You too"

"I highly doubt that" he chuckled apologetically.

"No no. You do!" Pete said as Vegas waved it off.

"Please tell me it wasn't just me who saw that," Vegas asked desperately, and Pete was stuck for a second "Kinn!" he pointed to the latter who was still on a call with his fiancé.

Pete sighed.

"oh not at all. They try their best to maintain it low key!" he said defensively which earned a laugh from Vegas followed by Pete.

Both looked at each other and sighed as the laugh slowly came to an end.

"I thought you'll come home right after your vacation." He licked his lips "But you didn't"

Pete choked on his words "I- Arm suggested that I stayed with him for a while... you know.. to help Porsche plan the wedding." He tried his best to make his lie believable.

"well, thank god because I thought you were avoiding me" he stepped closer and Pete held his breath.

"What? Why?" he laughed and he placed his hand on Vegas's chest trying to push him away. "No silly"
