I Promise

I can't

-Pete- 

After everyone went back to the main family house. Vegas didn’t say anything and stayed in his father's office. He gave Porche every document about the second family business.

I let him stay there, it’s his first time in that office after his father died. I didn't want to leave him there alone at first but Venice was crying and I needed to feed him.

After a few hours he didn’t comeback to our room. I bathed Venice, feed him, play with him until he fell asleep Vegas still hasn’t come back yet. I’m worried but I can’t leave Venice. After Venice sleep I asked Nop to stay with Venice. Surprisingly Nop is really good with kids, I asked him to help me with Venice a couple of times and Venice seems to get along well with him.

(AN: at this rate Nop has become not only a bodyguard but also a buttler and a babysitter lol)

“Vegas” I called him, pushing the little bit of the opened door to the office.

I saw him sit in his father's chair, eyes staring at the medium size painting above the door. The second family’s portrait consists of his father, mother,baby Macau in his mother's lap and him standing beside his mother’s chair. He then looks at me and gives me a weak smile. 

My heart broke when he smiled at me but his eyes emit a sad and helpless feeling. I hate seeing him in this condition. I already promised myself to keep him warm and happy, but there’s a lot of things that can’t be avoided when talking about the family connection.

“Pete, is Venice finally falling asleep?” He said, trying to cover his sad eyes.

“Hmm, I bathed, fed, and played with him until he fell asleep” I walked to him “I’ve been waiting for you to come back. You shouldn’t push yourself to hard” 

“Yeah, I just looking for another document for Porche” he said avoiding my eyes. He must be covering something from me

“Is there anything I should know about the main and second family?” I asked him. I know when we were at the hospital someone from the main family came, I don't know what they were talking about but since that day I noticed Vegas seems off. At first I thought it might be because Khun Korn made Porche the second family leader so he might feel dejected because it was supposed to be him continuing his father’s leadership but after I heard his answer to Khun Kinn this morning I know there’s another thing that is bothering his mind.

Vegas didn’t say anything but he raised his hand and gave me a sign to come near him and I obediently walked to him. I stood in front of him and he pulled me and made me sit in his lap. Adjusting my position until I can see his face, his handsome face now radiating a sad smile. He snaked his right hand on my waist and his left hand holding my hands.

“Pete, why did you choose to come to me?” He asked. His eyes staring at mine pleading for my answer

“Because I’m following my heart, you took my heart so I chased you to keep my heart near me” I said, staring into his eyes and smiling .

He then buried his face in my neck and pulled his breath like inhaling my scent. He went silent for some time and I’m waiting for what he is going to say next.

“Pete, I can’t give you a luxurious life like Kinn gave Porche. I no longer have a high position in the Terrapanyakul family. That day, in the hospital the main family accountant came and asked me to sign an agreement that every asset that belongs to the second family will be changed name to belong to the main family including this house. I don’t have anything left Pete. I don’t want to make your life miserable by choosing me.” I can hear his voice shaked.

“I love you and I don’t want you to leave me but I don’t want you to fall with me” he deepen his face on my neck

I pulled his face from my neck and rested my hands on his cheeks. I don’t understand why he is worrying about falling down when we can just stand and start all over again.

“Did I ask you for a luxurious life?” I asked seriously while looking at his face

He shakes his head

“Did I ever ask you to give me a lot of money in exchange for choosing you?” 

He shakes his head again

“You already know the answer right? I never ask you for anything. Like I said I choose you because my heart told me so. I don’t care about luxurious life, I don’t care if we are living in a small house, I don’t care if you are one of the Terrapanyakul family or not. I Never care about it. I followed you that day because it’s you, I chose you because it’s you. You are the one who keeps me for 2 weeks in your goddamn room, you who cooked me noodles, you who protect me when the commotion happens in the main family house. It’s all you and only you Vegas.” I finished my sentences while looking at his eyes. Showing my sincerity, I wish he would understand that my love for him is beyond materials and everything he worries about. 

“I love you Pete, I love you, thank you for choosing me” he said hugging me

“Let’s start all over again with me, you, Macau and Venice” I said 

He nod his head, looked overwhelmed and can’t say anything

We keep staring at each other's eyes until our lips collapse to each other. I feel his soft lips moving in my lips, caresing it gently. I also did the same, feeling his soft lips on mine makes me weak, I want more. He then licked my lips asking for permission to invade my mouth which I gladly allowed with open my mouth and his tongue played with my tongue not to dominate me but more like to feel me. I can taste his sweet saliva mixed with mine.

We keep kissing to show our feelings toeach other. The feeling to be there for each other and to complete each other.
