One For Three (COMPLETED)

Chapter 12 : From Reconciliation to the triple accord [+18 = TREESOME]

Pete's point of view

It is currently 7 p.m. I leave the bathroom after spending an hour in the shower questioning my whole life. I do not feel good. I am stressed.

I'm thinking of Boss Tankhun.I think about my relationship with Porsche.I think about everything I said to Boss Kinn.

Too many things in my head. I just want to lie in my bed and let myself die. The fact that Porsche is not around suits me enormously.

He won't see my tears running down my cheeks.

He won't see my shoulders shaking.

He won't see me collapsing on my bed, the weight of all the guilt having reached a barely bearable degree.

I feel so empty inside of me. I need to feel like I exist, someone to shake me up once and for all, take my mind off things and tell me that everything is going to be fine. But since I told Porsche that I didn't want to see him for a while, I have to do everything alone. I sigh and turn on my phone. A funny series could help me? Let's try to see.

I throw one at random, while getting back on my feet. I drop my bath towel on the floor and look for clothes to put on. Blue striped pajamas catch my eye. I grabbed it without asking myself any questions and put it on quickly. If I had known that by turning around, I would experience a historical turnaround, I would have been prepared.

Boss Kinn is standing in front of me. The sound from my phone is so loud that I didn't even hear it coming. I rush to my bed to put my phone on silent. What else will happen to me? Heart pounding, I stare at him.

- Sir...?

- You cried ?

I look away from him as he walks towards me.

- No...I...I didn't cry, sir...it's...a dust of...

- Do you take me for an idiot?

Boss Kinn grabs me by the chin. He scrutinizes me with detail and attention. He runs his thumb over my right cheek to wipe away the tears.

- You don't have to play fake with me, Pete. I will never judge the feelings you may have.

He squints at my lips for a few moments before running a finger over them.

- Always so sweet...Porsche takes good care of it?

Confused, I nod my head. Boss Kinn smiles:

- Good. I guess he's not here? Otherwise, he would have already hit me because I'm touching you.

I get rid of his grip and move away a little.

- I wouldn't have let him, sir.

- I know you don't like conflicts and you do everything to avoid them.  Can I take advantage that he's not here to talk to you?

- What... what do you want to tell me?

- I'm sorry that you see me as you described me so well earlier. But there are some things you need to understand... Pete it's my job that makes me act the way I act. It is not for my good pleasure that I am violent. It's to protect everything that belongs to me.

- I can understand that your job as a leader is not easy but I know that you can make allowances and not use all the time. I'm talking about your enemies as well as your bodyguards and those you meet in everyday life. Being kind to your neighbor does not mean being weak.

Boss Kinn continues to run his fingers over my lips. I shiver all over my body.

- Does your mouth also serve you for philosophizing? Tell me what are your other powers?
