Chapter 4

Vegas

Honestly, I was nervous as hell. I do want to do this with Pete so much but does he want to? What if he is okay with us being this way? I couldn't help thinking.

"What got you thinking bro," Macau asked, bringing me out of my thoughts. "Do you think Pete is going to say yes? What if he is okay with the way we are and doesn't want to get married? I asked and Macau laughed. "You don't need to worry about that. Pete is going to say yes" he sounded confident.

I was amazed by the confidence he has. "Why are you so confident about it?" I couldn't help asking. "Come on, you both basically can't live without each other so it's a yes from him, so relax and let's choose a ring already because am so excited about this" Macau replied looking all happy. I smiled and went back to checking the rings out. So many beautiful ones but I finally settled on a ring with a bezel setting, which has a diamond stone placed on it. It looked beautiful.

We finally got home and I got out of the car, leaving Macau behind. He was still in the car talking with Chay over the phone. I got into the house and to my surprise, Porsche was around, chatting comfortably with Pete.

I made our way over to them. "Hey Porsche, what brought you here? I asked and he frowned. "Do I need a reason to visit Pete? I missed him and so I came to see him. You should be happy I came alone because Tankhun had wanted to come with me but I escaped" he replied and I laughed. Thank goodness.

I looked at Pete and he was already shooting glares at me. I have to be prepared for this one. "How many hours does it take to get get a shirt? Pete asked and I scratched the back of my head. "Uhh...we had a hard time trying to find what Macau wanted, that's why it took a while. I replied and he rolled his eyes.

Pete kept looking around looking for something. "Where is Macau, didn't he come back with you? He asked looking around. Macau still hasn't entered. How long was he going to talk on the phone, kid these days?

Macau finally entered and Pete got up on his feet. "Let me see what Vegas got for you," he said stretching out his hand to take the bag from the bag. I suddenly got nervous. The ring was in the bag and I'll be screwed if he sees it. My surprise will be ruined. I have to act fast. I got in front of Pete, wrapping my arms around him. "No need to bother looking at it Pete, it's just some normal shirt," I said and his glare almost killed me.

"Let go of me Vegas, what's wrong if I see what you bought? The both of you are so bad at lying. You got him a shirt yesterday and you buy another one today. Are you two for real? He looked at Macau and the kid looked away.

Pete pulled himself away from me, placing a hand on his hip. "Give it to me Macau, I want to see what this loving brother got you. There's nothing wrong if I see it" he said with a smile but trust me it wasn't just a smile. It was more like, you both think am stupid kinda smile. Porsche relaxed in the chair, amused by what was happening.

Macau sighed, handing Pete the bag. He immediately took out the shirt and looked at it carefully, before nodding his head. Pete searched the bag thoroughly but found nothing else. Where did Macau keep the ring? I looked at him and he smiled. He is smart actually. I sighed in relief.

Pete was still far from convinced. "There is a shirt indeed but I still don't believe the two of you and I will find out what you're up to" Pete replied, going back to take his seat.

I realized Venice was not in the room. We were so busy trying to convince Pete that I just noticed. "I don't see Venice around, where is he?" I asked and Pete sighed. "He fell asleep after making a lot of trouble. I feel pity for the bodyguards who have to put up with him every day" Pete replied making me laugh.

"The kid looks like you Vegas. He's already giving the bodyguards a hard time. I have no doubt he's your son" Porsche teased. "Well, they have to put up with him because he's not letting them off anytime soon" I replied and Pete glared as usual.

"I'll go check on Venice, I'll be right back," Pete said and walked away. "Where's the ring we bought? I asked Macau and Porsche raised a brow. I forgot he was here with us. He's not a big mouth and so it's fine. "I left in the car. I had a feeling he was going to check what we brought" Macau replied with a laugh. That was close. We would have been caught.

Porsche who was still seated kept looking curiously at Macau and me. "Why are you staring? I asked raising a brow. "Why don't you spill it already Vegas? I already heard you two" he smirked. "Shouldn't you pretend you heard nothing? It's not your business anyways" I replied sarcastically but he didn't look like he would give up anytime soon.

Porsche stared at us for some time before speaking. "The both of you were very strange when you came back. It was like you two were hiding something from him. Maybe I should just tell Pete you didn't just go to buy a shirt. Pete!! He called loudly and I run to cover his mouth. "Are you for real Porsche? Fine I'll tell you but don't you dare shout if I let go of your mouth" he nodded before I finally let go. "That's more like it" he replied smiling mischievously. "Come with me," I said pulling him outside.

"So what are the both of you hiding?" Porsche asked curiously. I hesitated for some time before speaking. "I want to propose to Pete," I said and he gasped covering his mouth. "Yes Porsche, I want to marry him and that's why am doing this. I want it to be a surprise but Macau and I are so bad at lying that we could get caught" I finished, putting my hands into my pockets. I was still nervous.

Porsche kept staring at me and smiling before bringing his hand up, and placing it on my shoulder. "Am so proud of you Vegas, you are a real man. Pete will be very happy" he said with a wink. "You think so, Porsche? Am so nervous" I replied and he laughed. "Come on Vegas, you can do it," he said confidently.

He is a good friend to Pete. I couldn't help the smile that crept onto my lips. "I'll do it Porsche, but I don't know how to go about the proposal" I replied and he patted my shoulder.

"Do you need my help with it? He asked and I looked up instantly.

"How are you going to help me?

"We'll need everyone from the minor family" he smirked.
