Twin's Desire

Chapter 14 - Showdown

Khun Israel was busy talking with some of the heirs and I really feel out of place as they talk about things I do not even know.

For god sake! I only finished high school and went straight to Khun Korn's mansion so I could become a bodyguard. I am ignorant of such big talks, what am I even doing here?

"A penny for you thoughts?" Someone from behind me asked and I turned to look.

"Oh, Khun Caleb. Hi." I said and smiled to him.

"Which heir are you escorting Pete?" Khun Caleb asked

"I am escorting Khun Israel Theerepanyakul." I answered

"Oh, you're escorting El. I have been friends with him for a long time. He is the nicest among everyone here. But of course, his twin is an exception. They might share the same face but Israel is like a lion owner and Vegas is the lion in question. Vegas always looks like he's ready to prance on everyone in case his twin is being maltreated. Though I am still having a hard time differentiating the both of them. The one who would always talk like an angel is Israel and the one who talks like he would kill someone any moment is Vegas." Khun Caleb said and I laughed to his comment.

That's probably the most accurate description of Khun Vegas and Khun Israel.

"Care for a drink Pete?" Khun Caleb asked me and handed me a wine. I grabbed the glass and smiled at him.

"I'd be delighted." I replied

I was about to have a taste of it when...

"Don't drink it Pete." Someone from behind interrupted.

"Vegas." Khun Caleb said

"Caleb." Khun Vegas said and pulled me to him.

"What are you doing, Pete?" Khun Vegas asked me.

I am so confused. Why are this two acting like enemies?

"Oh, I'm just talking with Khun Caleb, Khun Vegas." I replied

"Talking while smiling sweetly to each other? You're here as my brother's escort Pete. It is not nice to be talking and smiling with someone who do not have an escort such as Khun Caleb. Furthermore, accepting drinks from strangers... how are you so sure that the wine is not drugged?" Khun Vegas said in a voice like he's holding himself.

"Pardon me, Pete." Khun Caleb said and grabbed the wine he gave me.

He smiled at me and drank the wine from my glass and finished it.

"I hope that prove mi inocencia, Khun Vegas." Khun Caleb said

"I would love to talk to you until this event ends but perhaps our conversation will have to wait until the next opportunity the heavens would give. You have a company now, enjoy your night Pete. Vegas." Khun Caleb added and went away.

Okay, what the hell is wrong with this Theerepanyakul?

"What was that, Khun Vegas?" I asked him, displeased with his attitude.

"You're my brother's escort, Pete. You shouldn't be flirting with other guys here." Khun Vegas said with his jaw clenched tight.

His words made me feel horrible.

I wasn't even flirting. What are you saying, Khun? Ahh... I really hate this feeling.

"I am sorry Khun, I'll do better. Excuse me." I said and bowed my head to walk away.

But before I could take another step, Khun Vegas hold my shoulder.

"Pete, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." Khun Vegas said and exhaled. His expressions seemed to relaxed.
