VEGASPETE : TWO WORLDS APART

Chapter 25

The car stopped at the main house and we rushed inside, the whole house filled of guards, Vegas was still holding me tight, I was losing strength in my body and walking became harder, If not for him, I would have been collapsed before. We were in a room by now, and after a few minutes, I breathed and realized tears were wetting my cheeks, Vegas checked me twice but he still wasn't sure,

"Are you hurt somewhere Pete?"

" VEGAS, YUL, HE IS DEAD, WHAT I  AM GONNA DO NOW?"

" Drink some water, you need to calm down first, your eyes will be swollen like that."

I took a sip but it was hard to swallow that, his lifeless eyes were imprinted in my mind, as if saying so many things he wanted to say but didn't get to. Vegas was there watching me but he was quiet for sometime.

He placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked at him, tears again sprang as soon as our eyes met, I hugged him tightly and cried all my anguish, I don't realise for how long but it was the only way for me to cope with it.

" I know its hurting, I am sorry for bringing you in a mess, I am sorry for not being able to do anything there. But I promised him to keep you safe forever, that was the first and last thing he asked me to do. But don't worry love, I will make sure whoever did that, will repent each second of his existence, he dared to hurt you and he indeed did by taking someone close away from you."

" I am indeed unlucky Vegas, people used to say that I wasn't meant to be born that's why my mother died, later my grandma and now Yul too, you shouldn't be with me, I don't want you to get hurt."

" If that is unlucky then what am I  Pete, my family was killed infront of me, but only I was left, some call me lucky and others a curse to be alive, but now they don't even dare to open their mouth infront of me, and from now on babe, whoever said that to you, I will make sure they won't speak a word in the rest of their lives."

" You don't know Vegas, so just sit like that with me, don't go anywhere, stay with me, forever."

"I will, I promise you."

 I never knew having someone by your side is such a big blessing, we attended Yul's funeral 3 days after the incident, although their was heavy security around the area, I might have completely be shattered but Vegas helped my soul to stay alive, he didn't left my side for even  a second, but the more I loved him the fear of not having him by my side scared me. A month spent by, I was a bit better now but still the person behind the incident was making my blood boil, I never had an urge to kill someone before, but I want them to rot in hell.

Kinn and Porsche came to the main house today, while they were discussing I was in the room, but I want to know who did that and why? What did Yul ever did to them? Soon Porsche came to my room, consoling me, but his expression were different, definitely their was something up. I couldn't hold myself and asked him.

" Porsche did you have something to say to me, you seem like their is something up."

"  Actually there is but promise me one thing that you won't tell anything about it to Vegas and will help me for at least this time."

" If its for his benefit, I promise you I won't tell anything to him."

" Actually the person behind it is Don Kurai, we thought he was after Vegas, so to know more we caught some of his men who were involved that day, but it was really unexpected. They were after you, since the beginning, it was to catch you but fortunately you were saved but your manager died. They are still hunting you for as they think you are after their son's death."

" ME? YUL WAS KILLED BECAUSE OF ME? BUT I DIDN'T KILL HIS SONS, IT WAS....WAIT...SO YOU MEAN.."

"Yes, he still don't know its Vegas and our plan is going the same way except him being after you, but if Vegas knows about it, he won't sit still and do something which will ruin all his hardwork for so long, and if Vegas gets caught, it means losing his life."

"Then what do you want me to do?"

"You have to go away from him for a while, that will distract Don Kurai for a while and Vegas can attack him under the cover, it will be a lot easier for us to defeat him."

"But Vegas will never agree for letting me leave, he even doesn't allow me to go downstairs, and not even any servant to come upstairs except his guard Noi."

" Me and Kinn discussed this for a long time and the best way is to tell him that Don Kurai suspects him and wants to kill all the people around Vegas, if he knows he is  a threat for you he will let you leave for a while, but I promise to keep you safe, you will be sent to America as our family has strong connections there and Kurai is nowhere near it. So all you have to do is just agree with him when he ask you to go, and don't come back until I relay this to you personally."

" I will for sure, I have lost everyone I ever loved and can't even think about losing Vegas because of my fault, even if I have to go away from him."

" I feel really ashamed to ask you this, but its for Vegas only, he won't let it happen cause he loves you, but I guarantee your  safety and will try to make everything quick. Kinn is now talking to Vegas according to our plan, so he might tell you in the evening, so stay close until you are here. You might leave tomorrow evening."

Porsche went out and I was left alone, my chest felt stuffy, the burden of Yul's death was on me, I was the one who chose his house, I was the one who agreed to go to the café, if only I won't have been there, he would have been alive. I switched  on the shower and sat under it for a while, I cried, not caring about my muffles, soon someone knocked on the door bringing me back to my senses.

"PETE, what happened, are you crying? Let me in Pete, oh god, I shouldn't have got  a door here, Pete open the door."

I took a deep breath and opened the door, he saw me like that messy, damp hair, puffy red eyes and red nose. He hugged me like that, and I just held onto him, I wasn't sure what hurts more, being the one responsible for Yul's death or being a threat to Vegas.

" What happened to you? Does Porsche said anything to you? I will beat his ass up..."

" I love you Vegas..."

He became silent and parted from the hug, staring directly at my soul through my eyes, his eyes, deep and caring, he doesn't have an idea how much I love those eyes and how much more I loved him.

" I love you too, Pete, a lot, more than my life." 

" Don't say like that, what will I do without you."

I looked at him for a second, I want to keep this expression framed in my mind forever. I raised a bit and kissed him deeper but so affectionately, I want to convey him whatever I feel about him was so intense, I don't know when we will again reconcile and I wanna forget everything tonight and just be with him, in his arms, feel his heart and hear its beats, as if I wanna pour everything I had in him. I held his hair and tugged them a bit, he carried me up, my legs around him, helding me so close that even air don't pass between us...

To be continued...

NOTE: I know it went completely different from what you have thought, but I want to tell how much they meant for each other, two humans alone in the world fighting different things but found their embrace in each other, LOVE NEEDS SACRIFICES, BUT WHAT WILL ONE DO WHEN THE DEMON IS STANDING OUT THE DOOR WAITING FOR THE ONE TO COME OUT FROM HIS SHELL....if you know you know....
