A month later.
Pete wrapped the blanket around his body. He looked outside. There are a few Christmas decorations displayed in and out of the house. The cold chilly wind of December reminds him of the old days when he and his grandmother will celebrate the holidays. Even though they are not Christians, this is still a special holiday for them. He grew up exchanging gifts with his grandmother and as a kid, he often received toys, candies and school supplies. He missed the old days but he didn't want to go back in that era again. He is actually happy where he is now.

It's the first Christmas that he will be spending with Vegas. Last year they secretly went to a beach nearby. It was the best view. Pete lied to Tankhun just to be with his boyfriend and spend quality time with him. They had a picnic by the beach. They listened to kpop and mainstream music while having a heart to heart conversation. It was a blast. It was Vegas birthday as well so they celebrated it.

This year they decided to celebrate it in their house. They invited a few people to spend Christmas with. Kinn, Porsche and Tankhun will be coming as well as Arm and Pol. His grandmother will be there as well. He also invited his father in law and Macau but they are spending Christmas overseas. Macau called him yesterday on the phone apologizing for not being able to be with them and he mentioned that he will be with them on the next holiday.

His relationship with his father in law never changes and from the day that he found out about his son's relationship with him until today. He is still cold and distant. The silent treatment of his father in law to him impliedly stating that he is not agreeing with this relationship and just only said yes for the sake of tradition. A family custom that needs to be followed.

Porsche actually arrived earlier and they went on grocery shopping. The supermarket has a lot of people shopping at the last minute. It was a bit crowded and everything seems like they are rushing. Porsche is playfully pushing the stroller while Pete looks at his grocery list on the phone. Porsche and Tankhun- who will arrive a bit late will help him with all the cooking and preparation for the holiday.

"Are you feeding the whole city of Bangkok?" Porsche asked him as he is looking at the list of the grocery items Pete has to purchase.

" What?"

" That is a long list." Porsche said while pointing out the list that he just created and then back to Pete. " We are only like eight people in your house later. Only eight people will eat and drink."

" Well, it's my first Christmas and. And..." He paused. " It's my husband's birthday so I need to make it festive and extravagant." Vegas birthday is actually on Christmas day as well so he wants to make it memorable and unforgettable. " I wanted to buy something special for him."

" So that's the reason why you dragged me here to help you with buying stuff instead of your husband?"

Pete nods. " I am still thinking of the best gift I could give him."

" It makes sense." Porsche agreed. " Okay Mrs. Theerapanyakul. Where are we heading next?"

They went around the supermarket, looking for the best and fresh ingredients they needed for the meal they will be preparing later. After they are done with the shopping and they already paid for the items. Pete asked Porsche to go to the alcohol section of the supermarket.

" What are we doing here? I thought you were not allowed to drink?" Porsche said.

" Buying gifts for Vegas." He answered. He knows his husband loves red and white wine so much that he has a small collection inside their room. He saw an expensive wine his husband keeps mentioning to him. He thinks of other stuff that his husband loves but he can't think of anything aside from wine and motorcycle. Well he can't buy the other one since he no longer has a job. He still has a little money left from his previous job and it's enough to buy wine for his husband. He found the brand is the wine that Vegas wants and he bought it. He put it in a special box with a red and green ribbon.
