Zees POV

"They both look done," NuNew whispers in my ear.

And I can't suppress my smile.

Not that I find Max and Nat's obvious sleepless night amusing.

They really do look beat. The bags under their eyes are deep, and I fear they've spent the night arguing.

I still have to smile, though.

Every time NuNew approaches me, I can't suppress my smile.

He is just too cute.

That beautiful face that seems so holy.

But I also know completely different sides of him.

Those big, enchanting eyes can also be quite different.

His calm and gentle aura can turn into a dangerously stunning gravitation.

And I am completely caught up in his attraction.

And he smells so good.

It is his skin that I could smell and taste.

When I know exactly every detail of his skin.

Oh man.

He gives me a smile with a raised eyebrow as I get caught daydreaming.

Once again, he can read my mind.

I quickly pull myself together and show my cool yet warm facade.

"Yeah, they must have had a lot to talk about. Did you bring Nat's cell phone?", I ask NuNew.

He nods and reaches into his pocket. He wants me to give it back to him. Especially since I also have to tell him about the phone call with Ohm.

Before that, I really need to know what Max knows now.

I'm so sorry, my friend.

Really stupid situation.

I hope Nat was honest with him.

And I guess my concern is evident because NuNews soft hand touches mine. He takes it in his and caresses it.

And I look up into his stunning face.

And his warm smile takes away any heaviness from my soul.

I just want to kiss him.

And he suddenly smirks and sends me a flying kiss.

This man.

He always knows what I need.

At 20 years old, he's more mature than others my age.

Or maybe he's just meant for me.

I laugh and place my free hand on his head.

"You're gorgeous!", I whisper in his ear, enjoying the sight of his cheeks reddening.

And if we weren't in the middle of a meeting with P'Aof, I'd be dragging him behind me right now.

To be alone for a moment.

Without all the other eyes.

We want to be just for ourselves sometimes.

And I feel so many parts of my body tingling right now.

"I don't think we're the only two who would like to be alone right now!", NuNew giggles softly in my ear, "Look at Max and Nat squinting at each other. Usually they're relaxed just being physical with each other, but today there's no touching. But those looks they're sneaking, I think they're really suspicious."

And I can feel my heart pounding.

NuNew has such sensitive perception.

He can't merely sense my thoughts, he can see exactly what's going on with all the others.

And his breath on the back of my neck is driving me crazy.

I don't know what to focus on.

Keeping my composure and watching Max and Nat.

But eating up NuNew would clearly be my preference.

Get it together, Zee!

There's a time for everything.

"I want to tell you about the next project!", P'Aof pulls me out of my fantasies, "The success is with you and CutiePie makes the hearts of the fans beat faster. The interest in your private life is greater than ever. The fans want to know you. To experience your reality. Of course they want to see you as couples. They want to look at every moment and hope that you have fallen in love with each other in real life.
You knew what it was about from the beginning. And now you can make your fans happy.
I am planning a live weekend on Ko Samui. In a dreamlike villa on the beach you will be streamed live all the time.
And you should not present yourselves in your roles there.
We want to create a completely authentic atmosphere.
Real topics of your life.
Real moments of your conversations and interactions.
Zee and NuNew, Max and Nat, and Tutor and Yim, you will be presented to the world completely as glass for a weekend. Cameras are installed in all rooms. Only in the bathroom will you have your privacy.
Do you have any questions or concerns?"

The silence leaves little room for interpretation.

I look around and see very different facial expressions.

Tutor and Yin are relaxed as always. They get involved in everything. They are very professional and have not caused any awkward spectacles so far. Their ship is in the development phase.

Max and Nat seem very different.

Max seems calm and collected, while Nat's face wears a wide grin. He starts tapping his index finger on the table.

Someone must be excited.

Max sees Nat's restless hand and takes it in his.

The first touch today in front of all of us.

And Nat is so happy about this touch that he reaches directly for Max's arm with his other hand.

And snuggles his upper body against his arm.

Max's eyes sparkle open and he suppresses a smile.

My God!

They just look like a couple in love.

The way Nat gently kneads Max's upper arm and presses his face against it.

His soft chuckle delights everyone.

And Max can't hide his joy at that.

You can't fool me, my friend!

"I think it's wonderful. I've always wanted to go to Ko Samui. Such a fantastically romantic island. I'm looking forward to it!", I hear NuNew say and feel him embrace me with both arms and put his head on my shoulder.

And now it's my best friend Max who gives me a mischievous smile.

His eyes search my insides.

Yes, I can't fool you, my friend!

I admit it, Max!

And it's about time that you also admit to yourself what's there between you.

I have to talk to him.

Until then, let's enjoy the moment now.

With our jewels pressed against our body.

We are both so whipped!

It's going to be an interesting weekend.
