-Pete-

« I can't do this. »

« We came this far you can't just give up now. »

« I'm serious. I really can't. This is worse that I thought. »

« But Pete...It took us so long to just found the right way... »

« I know I'm sorry... »

« This is not that bad... »

« Come on! Look at me! I can see my freaking belly button! And this?! Why is this so tight... !?» I grabbed the lace chocker necklace and pulled on it with my finger.

« Yup. Is there a leash that come with it? »

I hit Porsche's shoulder who was leaning above the black box, searching. I pushed him away from the mirror, frustrated.

It took me almost forty-five minutes to get ready for Khun Tankhun early birthday party. Forty five!

It was already Friday and as much as I wanted to avoid this after all the recent events, I had no choice.

I couldn't refuse Khun tankhun and his fifty text messages he sent since this morning to remember me about tonight's party.

Even Vegas told me to go, that it will probably be a good way to take time for myself, enjoying a night without thinking of anything, trying to forget what happened yesterday.

When he told me he had to work and won't be at home anyway, I had no more excuses left.

But still Vegas gave me multiples way to escape from the party, but I didn't take any of his advices involving torture and even murder...

I realized I was alone on this one and as I was getting myself ready my mind was lost deep in my thoughts.

Yesterday was the worst day since Vegas came back home, and I felt like I was out of my body since then.

It's like going on with the flow but not on purpose. My mind was blurry, and I often zoned out without any reason thinking of the mess we were in again. It seems to never stop.

Vegas slept in the guest room last night. We both needed time to think on our own. I woke up this morning in the same state I woke up the last couple day. The same nightmare eating me little by little. I felt hopeless and lonely.

But when I tried to reach for Vegas he wasn't there. Only a note was left on the kitchen table telling me he will be back before I leave for Khun Tankhun's party, and that I didn't have to worry.

I knew deep inside that he was probably trying to find a solution and he didn't want to risk my safety once again.

But I felt left behind and as the day went by, even if we talked on the phone, I could feel that he was trying hard to appear normal. But in my heart a feeling of uneasiness was growing.

« The party is still at the main mansion, right? » I asked Porsche who was lying on the bed, playing on his phone while waiting for me.

« Hmm. »

« It means I will be able to see Venice. Even if he is already asleep. »

I smiled widely just thinking of Venice little mushy face and started daydreaming about my son when I turned around to look at Porsche who stayed silent. I kicked his foot until he lifted his gaze and chuckled.

« You really have no idea, don't you? »

« What do you mean? »

« Nothing. »
