LETTING GO - VEGASPETE Ff [Manxman]

Chapter 19

VEGAS POV

"Where are you?" Pete said crying on the other line.

"Why are you crying?" I asked concerned

"I don't know either, so where are you?" he said and his getting angry again.

"I'm on my meeting right?" I lied,

"No you're not, you are lying"

"Okie, I'm somewhere you don't know"

"I'm going to find you, you just wait and if I see you with someone else I'm going to kill the both of you" then he ended the call.

This past few months, his being so moody.

After that night he didn't talk to me for like a whole month. But the second following month he is being so clingy and he's becoming possessive over me.

One time I asked permission that I'm going out of town for a business trip, but he didn't let me go. But I insisted to go because it's an important meeting that I need to attend.

He let me go in the end, but he took all the information about who I'm going to meet.

I love the idea that he is possessive over me. But I'm afraid, what if one day he change, then ignore me and left me?

It's not even happening yet, but the fear and pain, I can feel them already in my heart.

I came to my rest house to think because I'm planning to tell Pete what I truly felt about him.

Whether he accepts me or not, I will accept him with all my heart.

"Meeting huh?" an angry Pete came into my view.

I was lying down on the porch swing at the balcony and almost fall upon hearing Pete's voice.

I check the time on the phone and it's been three hours since he last called me.

I quickly got up and face him.

"What are you doing here?" I asked with fear.

Because this is the place where I did those bad things to him. Where I cage him like a prison.

"Whose with you here?" he asked seriously

"No one" I whispered

"No one huh, I'm going to check" then he went inside

"No no no" I shouted and went in front of him.

I don't want him to see that room again.

"Based on your reaction, you are hiding something" then he pushed me and continued walking

He opened all the bedrooms and bathrooms and even the storage room.

But stopped when we are in front of that particular room.

"Open it"

"No Pete please I'm begging you don't go inside" I beg

"I just wanted to see, just open it," he said angrily.

The anxiety is building up inside me.

My hands are shaking, my knees feel so weak. And my heart beat uncontrollably fast.

With a heavy heart, I opened the door for him.

I learned on the wall and close my eyes so I can't see his reaction.

"Isn't that hard to open the door?" I heard him and walked past me.

Still leaning on the wall for support because of my weak knees.

"Vegas what are you still doing there, I'm hungry" he shouted.

After collecting myself, I followed him and found him in the kitchen.

"Pete I'm so.."

"Help me with the vegetables" he command

"Where did those come from?" I asked when I see there are so many bags from the sink.

"Of course, I brought them with me."

Then Nop came with another bag.

"Nop you can go after that, I will call you again later"

Nop didn't look at me at all.

I was still glaring at Nop when something hit my head. He throws me a chili pepper.

"Are you going to help or what?"

"But I don't know how to cook"

"Okie just go somewhere else I don't want to see your face"

"But why did you come all the way here if you don't want to see my face"

"Just go will you?" he said irritated

"Okie fine" then I walk back to the swing and sat there.

He is like that these past few months, one minute he wants to see me, one minute his angry and he doesn't want to see me.

After an hour, I heard him calling me again.

"Try this," he said showing the spoon with dishes on it.

I wanted to smile because this is the first time he cooked for me.

"It's good," I said after tasting it.

"Prepare the table so we can eat"

"How about that?" pointing at the other dish.

"You can't eat that, that's too spicy for you," he said.

After eating he went to the room I used to sleep, he said he is tired and wants to sleep.

At home, we are not sleeping on the same bed, but sometimes I saw him sleeping in my room. Specifically when he knows I'm working outside.

At night I went inside my room to get some clothes cause I'm sleeping next door.

I thought he was already sleeping but I saw him in front of the mirror's bathroom checking his tummy.

"You need to exercise, your tummy is getting bigger" I teased him

"It's your fault" he shouted at me.

"I'm not the one who eats a lot, so why is it my fault now"

"You are so dense" he glared at me.

"Okie good night," I said after bringing some clothes with me and left him.

I know we're not going to stop arguing if I don't leave him.

Midnight comes and I feel so thirsty so I went down to drink some water.

But I stopped on my track when I see the lights in that room were on.

"Shit" I run as fast as I could.

I saw Pete sitting on the bed like before.

"Can you please let me go?" he said staring at me intently

After hearing that, I kneel in front of him and start sobbing.

My chin is quivering, my tears are gushing out like a waterfall.

The pain inside me is unbearable.

"N...o Pete p..lease don't l..eave me" I beg between my sob.

"P.. ete I'm r..eally really s...orry. I can't l..eave w...ithout you. I l...ove you so m..uch. Please s..tay please P...ete, Pete p...lease, don't go."

"If you really love me Vegas you have to let me go"
