Chapter 10.3

— PETE.

Recent Flashback.

Ever since Porsche, Khun Kinn's new bodyguard, was admitted to be the new bodyguard of the mansion, I've been seeing Khun Vegas more often in the mansion. He was trying to make a move on Porsche, and it wasn't sitting right with me.

I didn't like the way he stared at Porsche.

I didn't like the way he smiled at Porsche.

I didn't like the way he worried for Porsche.

I didn't like the way he acted when Porsche was around.

I didn't like the way he laughed when Porsche joked.

I didn't like the way he followed Porsche's movement everytime we were outside.

I hate the way he looks straight into Porsche's eyes when they talk.

I hate how his eyes carry a lot of emotions when it meets Porsche's, but empty when on me.

I hate how he likes Porsche.

"Pete! Help me, I don't get this. What do I do?" Porsche was scratching his head while frowning as he walked towards me. As much as I hate how Vegas treats him, I love Porsche as the bestest friend.

I was going to take a look at the iPad Porsche was holding when Vegas sprung out of nowhere and took Porsche's hands.

"Here, I'll help you." He smiled. He had to smile.

I rolled my eyes, "Since when were you named Pete?" I mumbled.

Porsche laughed and nodded. I walked away and said Khun must be calling for me, Porsche wanted to follow me but Vegas kept talking to him, he didn't have a choice but stay.

The moment I entered Khun Noo's room, I sulked and buried my face on his soft mattress.

"What's your problem, hah, Pete?" Khun asked me.

I still laugh at the thought of me when I was new here being scared at Khun and all, but now I can even act and throw a tantrum myself and Khun would only send me out his room or would join me in a karaoke.

"Why is Khun Vegas always here? He's a bother." I complained.

Khun peeked at me from his couch. "Are you joking? I thought you cared and respected that family, hah?" He reprimanded.

I groaned and almost cried, Khun laughed and joined me in groaning and complaining about the minor family. We sang karaoke, I called Arm and Pol to join us sing, soon, Porsche came and joined us as well.

We ended up drinking in Khun's room. I was nearing drunk when Khun was already asleep and the two were knocked out too. Khun Kinn suddenly opened the door and his lips parted seeing his brother lying on the ground, two bodyguards sleeping, one of the floor, one on the table.

He saw me half-awake and half-asleep, so he mouthed Porsche. I gave him a wai and pointed at the bathroom, I guess Porsche was vomiting, I could hear him from here.

When Khun Kinn entered the bathroom, I walked out the room to the garden. The cold wind was more welcoming than the air-conditioning in my room.

"Khun Vegas!!!!" I shouted with my eyes closed. "Why do you have to flirt with my best friend in front of me, huh?! What do you see me as? A fucking stone?! Oi!!!! I like you, Khun Vegas! All your craziness, all your psychotic actions, I like it!!!! You make me crazy, I hate it." I yelled.

I fell down tripping on a bush.

"Who the fuck?"

My eyes widened hearing his voice. Good thing I fell on a bush and hid there completely, I saw Vegas looking around, probably looking for the person who confessed out of nowhere.

I fell asleep on the garden with Khun Vegas never finding me or even realizing it was me seeing he still flirted with Porsche. But there was something different, like he was looking for someone everything he was with Porsche. His eyes kept wandering and meeting everyone's, but never mine.

I was going to give up on him when Khun Kinn gave me another mission to keep an eye on Vegas and Porsche, I guess he was jealous. How funny. He's jealous of Vegas, and I'm jealous of Porsche. Why don't we just date each other and see if these two would feel anything towards us? Of course! Why would Vegas feel anything seeing me with Kinn?! He wouldn't even look at me! I scoffed in the bar where Porsche used to work. He kept taking us and Khun here, soon, Vegas joined us too.

I didn't care how Khun was so happy, I was still mad and annoyed at Vegas. The first time his eyes landed on mine, he was drinking with Porsche. I scowled at him and looked at Khun, I was just on the side, on guard. He probably didn't mind that, not seeing my jealousy. He still kept dancing with Porsche.

Oiiii!!! This annoys me so much.

To Khun Kinn Theerapanyakul:

Your cousin is flirt-dancing with Porsche.

I wanted to tell Kinn to fetch Porsche so Vegas would go home too, I hate how he's still got his eyes stuck on Porsche.

I drank my first glass when I couldn't take the scene anymore, I almost prayed to everyone when I saw Khun Kinn outside the bar, coming to take Porsche home.

Because Porsche was going home, I had to pull Khun out as well. He vomited on my shirt so I had to back in the bar and clean myself before riding home, I didn't bring anything with me! I guess I'll just take someone's shirt in the bar. I walked out the bathroom shirtless and started flirting with the first man I found.

"You'd look good in my clothes." The man whispered in my ears.

I didn't like men, I just liked Vegas. It's not that I wasn't comfortable with men flirting with me, but I didn't like the way he was so gentle with me. I felt like I was about to break from his gentle touch. I smiled at him and nodded. Do I even look cute enough to goal his shirt?!

I felt someone pull me back and push the man away. I looked back and saw Vegas with a frown on his face. "You're Tankhun's bodyguard, right? You're drunk." He said.

"No, I'm not. I'm looking for a shirt, and you shooed it away." I stated. Maybe I was drunk, I wasn't respectful towards him now.

His brows shot up, "I thought you were one of the most respectful guards in the major family's house."

"How can I be respectful and respected walking like this? I'm topless and red, I have to get myself a shirt." I groaned and tried to keep my headache in check.

I looked at the hand in front of me, it was holding a white shirt. "Here."

I looked up to him. How can I not like someone like him? Although he doesn't care about me, he's... he's being kind. How can I stop liking someone like him? I accepted the shirt and wore it in an instant. He kept his eyes on me and chuckled.

"So it was you?"

He said. I raised a brow, not understanding a word he said. The music was too loud, and I was tired, I gave him a wai and excused myself.

We drove home and reached it at almost 3am.

Since then, I noticed Khun Vegas seldom in the mansion, and Khun Kinn and Porsche finally got together, everyone in the house could see it. But I was starting to miss Vegas, he was never around anymore. And when he was, the only time I'd see him close was when he flirted with Porsche, but now, he wouldn't even look at our way! He'd completely ignore Porsche when they meet, he won't spare any of us any look. Did something happen?

Why was Vegas so cold towards us? Towards Porsche? He was normally like this to me, but why do I feel like he's extra cold to me? Oi!!! Vegas, you're so hard to read.

But I still like you.

Even if liking you only gives me the right to see you from afar.

I still like you.
