Metanoia (Change of heart)

CH-4 In a relationship

Gray's POV

I still can't believe that I did that confession thing that night. It was like my heart just being pulled out a thorn. And more surprisingly, I can't even imagine he has feelings of affection for me too. Take note: I'm in a relationship right now with a man I love the most, and it feels so great.

I woke up early in the morning with someone sleeping at my side.

Whhhhhaatt!!
Wait..

I look over my shoulder and OMG! Shirtless King is here with me all night in this billet floating on the lake but-but....but how??

*insert shock expression*
Don't ever tell me we toooot tooot??

"mmm" King growled scratching his head and back to sleep.
I take the opportunity to examine every parts of his body and oh la la he's so sexy. Perfect abs on his belly. Perfect biceps. Perfect triceps. He is over all perfection!
*what a slut am I*

My phone rang and my eyes go wide as I read the message:

Where are you sweetie?
I was so worried about you.
Please call me when you receive this message.

From: Mom

Shit!!
I poked King abrasively to wake him up and yelled at his ear with all my might.
"whoaaaah!" King unconsciously shouted. "what?? Can't you see I'm sleeping?" he said harshly.

"I forgot I have a mom waiting for me to come back home your majesty. I'm sorry to interrupt your beauty sleep but I have to go. I don't wanna be such a headache bringer to my mom." I explained hurriedly with a loud voice.

King immediately took his shirt hung on the chair and worn it as fast as he could. "I'm so sorry little Gray" he muttered.

We left the billet immediately and shoved ourselves inside the red sports car parked across the street.

"Goodbye paradise" I sighed fastening my seatbelt.

We rushed through the street leading to our house. I am thinking what to explain to calm my mom down.

"Are you alright little Gray?" he asked with a concern voice.
"yeah" but deep inside I am not.
After an hour of traveling, we finally reached our house.

I got out of the car and nervously knocking the door. "Mom!" I called.
The door cracked open and I covered my cheeks in defense mode maybe my mom will slap me on the face for not getting her permission before leaving the house yesterday.

"oh sweetie!" my mom exclaimed happily sending her tight hug to me that I almost can't breathe. "I'm so worried about you. Did you take your breakfast? Where have you been? "she said with so much concern.

"eherrmm." King cleared his throat signaling his presence. "oh, who are you dear?" mom asked with furrowed eye brows. "I am king, Gray's friend, and I am sorry Mrs.?" he posed for a while. "Jones" mom replied. "Mrs. Jones for taking your son out without your permission. I was just about to send him back here but I noticed he's quite exhausted with the ride so I decided to let him sleep with me at the billet". King explained carefully staring straight to mom's eyes.

"Don't worry dear. I understand. I don't want my son to feel uncomfortable as well so it's good that you took care of him" mom said gratefully. "By the way sweetie, what's the name of this friend of yours?" mom asked nicely. "King... His name is King knightguard" I answered staring at King's smiling face.

Mom invited us to the kitchen for breakfast. She served us fried eggs, loaf breads and lemon juice. "These all I have for now boys. I haven't cooked some delicious food because I don't have enough time." mom chuckled awkwardly. "I guess you can manage yourselves I assume, so can I leave you now? I gotta go to work." mom uttered with a smile.

"alright mom, I'll handle everything here" I replied confidently like I know everything.

As my mom leave the house, King and I stared at each other's eyes. My cheeks are darkened with blush and I can see king blushing as well.

"So we're officially on now"? He muttered avoiding my narrowed eyes. "Well I think so" I replied facing my breakfast.

Out of the blue, he snuggled so close to me until his lips met mine. My eyes go wide because of the warm kiss. I can feel his tongue searching for an entrance but I just kept my lips zipped so he can't enter.

He ended the moment with a question. "Is there a problem?" he said cupping his hands on my chin. "uhmmm... Nothing.... I think I just can't believe that we're officially in a relationship right now knowing that before, I was just hoping that you would be mine." I muttered looking his red kissable lips.

"Me too... " king replied pinching my cheeks. "If you wasn't confessed your affection for me yesterday night, I would have been still in a state of fear and maybes. I wouldn't have known that we have similar feelings at each other." he added with a grin.

"Now you are my boyfriend, I want you to know that I love you more than you can imagine and I hope that I'll be the best boyfriend as well to you and that, this relationship lasts forever." I can see the sincerity in his eyes as he spoke those words to me holding my hand.
