Exclusively Yours (VegasPete)

Chapter Fourteen

"I felt like we are starting to have some issues." Porsche said to Pete while he is helping him in peeling and dicing the vegetables in the kitchen. It was a normal weekend in their house. Tankhun is actually on a business trip abroad with his father so he will not be with Pete this time. While Arm and Pol joined their boss. Porsche was the only one of the few bodyguards left. Kinn is still in Thailand and had to deal with clients while Vegas is out with some people from the casino. Since Porsche has nothing much to do he decided to go to Pete and spend some time together.

" What do you mean?" He is busy dicing and chopping Vegetables. He's been cooking a lot of dishes for the past few months and he is getting used to working in the kitchen. It's kinda lonely though since he does it alone sometimes so whenever his friends drop by, even if it's Tankhun who doesn't have any idea how to prepare meals in the kitchen, it gives him joy in his heart. A relief that he can talk to someone. Vegas has been busy these days and a lot of progress is happening with Theerapanyakul businesses.

" You know, Me and Kinn." He pursed his lips. Thinking. " Kinn has been treating me cold these days. I don't know. And it is very suspicious."

" Well you are dating a mafia boss. What do you expect?" Pete said. He has been working with the family ever since he reached the age of 18. And he knows how the family businesses run.

" It's different from treating you cold to being busy Pete." Porsche elaborated. " I know Kinn is a high profile person but this is different.i have a feeling something is not right."

Pete just nod. He has a point though. His friend will not be suspicious if Kinn is not acting strange for the past few days. He remembered that his friend told him Kinn had been off late at night for a couple of days, when Porsche was asking him where he went, he would just give a generic answer like. " I see a friend." Or "meeting a business partner." Without being specific. Porsche even shared to him that they have rarely gone out on a date and they only have an intimate night for a day or two for these past months ." Then I asked him why he is acting like that."

" It's not that easy. I mean. I don't know how to open it up."

" You've been brutally honest to Tankhun. Are you scared of Kinn?" Ever since he and Tankhun patched things together, Pete stopped using honorifics to his former bosses except for Korn. The main family actually agreed to it, since he is already part of them.

" No. I just don't know how to do it with Kinn. I felt-" he paused a bit. He is looking worried. " I felt like there was a guy. You know, His ex-boyfriend might be involved in this."

Pete stops chopping and dicing the vegetables and he looks at Porsche who is standing in front of him. " Why are you jumping into conclusions?"

" Well. You know his ex-boyfriend right? He also dated Vegas before." Porsche asked. " What is his name?"

Pete sighed. "Tawan." He heard from people around the main residence that after Kinn and his former boyfriend- a son of a business tycoon named Tawan, he suddenly dated Vegas. He is not sure if it's real though. He was already working with the main family during that time and he hadn't seen Vegas and Tawan together or he never asked Vegas about it. It's not a big deal. " But it's not right to make assumptions." He said to Porsche as he continued to prepare the vegetables.

"My instinct is 99 % correct."

" What makes you think he is involved in Kinn's strange behaviour?" He looked at Porsche. " You still have 1% chance of being wrong."

" Because I said so." Porsche answered.

He exhaled. It feels like this conversation will end up with nothing. "You still work as a bodyguard Porsche. You know that we should only rely on facts. Not on our instincts." As a former head bodyguard of the main family. They should know every information and facts of the main family as well as the people around them, the world revolving around them- businesses, events etc and everything about them. In a world of mafia gangs, instincts are not enough. You have knowledge of the facts.

" Does your husband have been acting strange lately?"

" No." Pete knows Vegas is not acting strange. He looks normal. He tried to remember if he is doing something weird in the past few days. " He's fine. Now help me with boiling some meat for the stew that we will be eating today."

Days passed and he noticed that Vegas became more busy again with work. He will go home late at night and will leave the house early in the morning. This week has been hectic for his husband and he tried to understand that it's not easy to run a business especially if you are part of the mafia clan. He's been a bodyguard and he knows the nature of it.

" Why would I ask him where he goes or who is with him?" Pete is talking to the phone with Porsche one night. It was already late at night and the housemaids are already resting in their rooms so he is alone in the living room alone while watching an American Series.

" You trust Vegas too much." Porsche told him.

" Oh c'mon. I am not paranoid like you." Pete replied. Well he trusted Vegas since he knew he would never do anything that would ruin their relationship.

" There is no harm in doing it." Porsche protested. " If he gave you a good answer then he is fine but if he gave you a vague one then he is suspicious."

" Oh please." He yawned. He suddenly felt sleepy. He then looked at the wall clock hanging nearby. He knows it's late and probably Vegas will not be home yet. He needs to sleep now. His pregnancy is still delicate and he needs to follow everything the doctor said to them like having enough time to sleep. " Porsche I need to sleep. We will talk tomorrow."

After he hung up the phone. He turned off the TV and went straight to the master bedroom. He lied down. He holds his baby bump and he knew it's getting bigger now. He smiles when he feels that the baby is kicking inside of him. He hopes that everything will be fine. He is actually excited for the baby. He will make sure that he will be a good parent to him. He knows his husband is feeling the same way too. They know they are going to be good parents. He can hear footsteps and it looks like someone is approaching their room. He knows Vegas just arrived.

" Why are you calling me?" He can hear Vegas speaking on the phone. "You are not allowed to call this time. My husband might hear you."

He was about to get up in bed but he changed his mind upon hearing it. What the hell is he talking about? Why is he saying something like that? He remembered what Porsche told him earlier. Ask Vegas. He then flinched when he noticed Vegas was already inside their room and kissed him softly in the lips.

" What is going on? Are you alright?" Vegas asked when he noticed how Pete reacted.

Pete then got up. They are sitting in the bed next to each other. " I am just surprised." He said. " I thought you were not home yet. Did you already eat?"

He nods. " Yes. We had a meeting earlier."

" Who is with you?"

Vegas stands up " An important client." He responded and then he walked to the bathroom. " I will need to take a shower." He said and then he entered.

Pete then remembered what Porsche told him. " If he gave you a good answer then he is fine but if he gave you a vague one then he is suspicious."
