DSP 13 - Need Your Love

Third Person

"How are you, Khun Pete?"

Pete was very surprised by the sudden appearance of Chen. It's been more than a month since they first met in Chiang Rai and Pete didn't expect their paths to cross like this.

"Khun kha, here's your cake." Pete didn't even realize that the cashier has been calling him.

"Are you surprised?" Chen chuckled and grabbed the cake box to hand it to Pete. "Are you alone?"

Pete snapped back. "Oh, I'm.."

"We should sit down, Khun Pete. I wanna talk with you for awhile." Chen said and walked past Pete towards the table.

Pete walked towards him as he check what time it is and he's worried about Vegas and the kids who are waiting for him. "Uhm, actually, I don't think I could stay any longer. Someone's waiting for me." Pete said and gave him an apologetic smile.

"Oh? Is it Khun Vegas?" Chen looked at the cake. "Who's birthday is it? Is it yours?" He asked.

"No, it's not my birthday." Pete laughed. "But yes, Vegas is waiting for me at the car."

Other than that excuse, Pete also remembered that Vegas told him not to talk to Chen. Even if he doesn't know why, Pete didn't want to disobey Vegas.

Chen just nodded.

"Uhm.. So, where can I send you the money?" Pete asked.

Chen smiled at him. "No, it's fine, Khun Pete. You don't have to pay me back."

Pete refused. "I can't do that, Khun Chen. Of course, I have to pay you. Can you wait here? I'll just--"

Before he can finish speaking, Chen already cut him off. "No, seriously, it's fine. Just consider it as my treat for you. Oh, wait here for awhile " He said and walked back to the counter.

Pete checked the time again and it has been more than 30 minutes since he went back to buy a cake.

Chen came back with two cups of cold drink. "This is for you, Khun Pete. Since we don't have a chance to catch-up, I think this will do."

"Thank you, Khun Chen." Pete said.

"I hope we can keep in touch. I have your number and we can message each other in LINE." He said.

Pete wants to tell him that he cannot do that. Vegas will surely get mad if he knew about this.

"Well, you see, Khun Chen. I don't know what's the deal between you and Vegas but--"

*Ring*

Pete wasn't able to finish talking again when his phone rang.

It's Vegas.

"Hold on. I'll just take this." He told Chen and walked a bit farther.

"Hello?"

"Is something wrong? You've been there for so long. Should I go there?" Vegas asked him nonstop.

"No! I'm on my way back now. I just..went to look for something. I'll be there shortly." Pete said.

He doesn't want to lie but he also doesn't want Vegas to get mad.

"Alright. Venice cried when you left and Macau put him to sleep. You should hurry."

"Yes, of course."

Pete breathe out heavily after the call.

He walked back to the place where him and Chen talked earlier but Chen was nowhere to be found.
