¿Sugar Candy?

Chapter 5

"I can't wait for you to win over the Sangpotriats with your charms. We really need their investment for our textile sector." Uncle Klue was super excited for the grand party being thrown by Sangpotriats, the second richest family in the world. They've been living out of the country for as long as I could remember. I don't know what came over them to return back to their roots and support local businesses but as long as it helps the company I'm not complaining.
They have always been super secretive about their family life and apart from Mr. Sangpotriat and His son no one has ever seen their rest of the family so today it will be kind of a revelation for all of us. Anyway I'm not much interested in their internal affairs my aim is to make a good first impression on them and score a business deal.

"They're really going all out for their comeback don't they?" Uncle sound pretty impressed by them already and who wouldn't be they have literally sent limousines to fetch their guests tonight and we both are travelling in one as well.
If krist was here he would have asked me to buy him one as well.
"What are you smiling for?" I didn't know I was smiling. Krist's mere thought is enough to put me in a good mood. God I miss him. Last week he was talking about telling me something but my heavy eyelids won and I couldn't hear the rest of his sentence.
We have been in contact with each other through mobile phones and even after me endless insistence he didn't share what he wanted to tell me in the car.

I straightened meat jacked as we reached the destination. Their house no not house Mansion was nothing less of a Royal palace. The soft golden lights were creating a fairytale like hue around the place making it all the more beautiful.

The inside of the house was even more breathtaking than the outside. It was luxurious yet elegant.
Uncle made his way to meet his friends leaving me alone in the middle of the hall.
I looked around the room to find any familiar face and after a bit fi struggle I found my friends hoarding the open bar.

Tum spotted me first and lookedme up and down while whistling lightly. "Someone is here to steal the spotlight from the host."
I rolled my eyes at him.
"Shut up Tum." I said playfully and asked around the circle they were making." Have you met the Sangpotriats yet or not."
Ren drowned his shot in one go before replying to me. "Nope they haven't shown up yet."
I ordered the drink for myself and got invested in chit chatting with them when the sudden silence in the room caught our attention. Sangpotriats were making their way down the stairs one by one from the stairs.
"Is...is that your boy, Gun?" Dome stuttered just like my heart did when I watched him descending the steps with his arm snaked around the old man's arm.
This was not my krist this one doesn't have that childish boyish vibe to him. He looked so calm and posh in that black tuxedo of his that I had to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.
Even the way he sits with straightened rigid back is so so sophisticated.

"No wonder your boy toy could afford that Rolex." Drew just had to open his mouth right now. "After all he has connection with those deep pockets, he must've asked his rich boyfriend to buy him one." His words were like molten lava seeping in my ears.
Tum walked towards me and whispered in my ears. "Gun didn't you tell krist that you two are exclusive. He couldn't date anyone while he's with you." I swear if we were alone I would have smacked the hell put of this dumbass. He's asking me as if he doesn't know that Krist and I were only faking it so it's obvious that I didn't ask him to be with me and only me.
But I should have made that one of the conditions.

I pushed him aside and sat on the bar stool after ordering myself a solid drink I looked back to where Krist was sitting among the other high profile people.

I watched my uncle introducing himself to that old hag and shook my head. If only you knew uncle that that man stole your nephew's first love.
I completely lost count of the number of drinks I drowned I just wanted to shut the bitter reality out. It hurts. Watching him in another man's hand hurts.

"Who would've thought Mr. Sangpotriat have such hobbies. His wife only died one and a half year ago and he's already put here embarrassing his family." Drew was full on enjoying the drama.
"I know right he doesn't look ashamed of his actions at all." Tum was not far too behind.
"I didn't peg krist to be the type of man who would go this far for money." And I gulped down one more bitter shot.
"Not a single more word from you two."
Ren put a stop to their blabbering mouth.
I dared to look at krist again and this time he was on the dance floor with that man.
I squinted my blurry eyes to get a clear view of him he...he pecked that man's cheek making me lose whatever little control I had in me. I pushed the chair aside and staggered towards the dancing duo.

I dragged krist's arm to break them apart. "Don't touch him he's mine!!" My words came out bit jumbled up.
Krist gave me one horrified look. His mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water.
"Y-You!" Why is he acting like he saw someone's ghost.
"Yesssh me." And I turned my attention towards the old man. "What the hell are you doing with this wrinkly old man?"
The room went dead silent. "Gun you are drunk let's go we can talk somewhere else.
No I wanna talk right here right now.

"Krist you know him?"
"Yes he knows me any problem?" I didn't know I had mimi krist in me as well.
"Security! Security!!"
"You should be screaming God's name at this age not securitys'." Krist put his warm palm on my mouth to shush but he doesn't know me yet does he? I licked the inside of his palm making him release my caged lips.
"What tye hell Gun what have gotten in to you."
"You you have gotten into me." I told him honestly. His eyes softened up slightly we were having our moment when that old pensioner butted in once again. "Who is he krist?" Krist pulled me closer to him clutched my hands in his and answered that old fart in a shaky tone.
"He's my friend Da."

"Yes take that! I'm his fr..." friend? "I'm not your friend I'm your daddy, sugar daddy did you forget that?" Multiple loud gasps echoed around the room. Mr. Oldie had his hand over his heart while he was giving the most appalling look to krist.

"What is he saying krist?" Krist was panicking real hard and I couldn't understand why I just told him the truth.
"Da! he means sugar candy you know I love candies and sugar it's our inside joke. It's not what you thinking I swear!" Mr.Da doesn't look convinced with krist lies.

"Who are you here with, Gun? Where are Tum Ren and others? Are they here?"
I looked around the room to search for Tum but I couldn't find them anywhere but luckily I spotted my uncle standing beside Frank with opened mouth.
I pointed towards him. "I'm with him." Krist followed my band's direction but uncle was not there anymore.
"Uncle Klue why are you hiding behind Uncle Frank? Are we playing hide and seek."
He stepped out from his hiding spot and looked towards us with a sheepish look and shook his head rapidly. "I don't know him he's not with me."
"Why are you lying Uncle?" I heard krist whispering something like "I would do the same." Under his breath. But I ignored it and focused on my ultimate goal.
Get krist out of that pervert man's clutches and I know the perfect way to do that.

"I will buy you that buguti...b-biguti...babuti...whatever I will buy you whatever car you want just don't replace me with this this old hag." I pleaded in the most sincerest tone one could muster.

"I would even let you sit on my face, krist. I promise."

"Really? I won't let you back out on this one."

"Yes lemme just seal the deal with a kissy kiss." I gently grabbed his cheek and placed my lips on his. Wow his lip is pretty pointy. I lapped on his bottom lip with my tongue. Why does his lips have 2 holes? I was still wondering when krist gently pushed me back. "Why does your lips have 2 holes krist?"
Krist wiped his nose with back of his hand. "That's my nose not lips you idiot."

"Oops silly me." I giggled at krist's pouty mouth and whining tone.
"So you are breaking up with this thing, right?" I asked sweetly while playing with his black tuxedo's buttons.

"You are sooo gonna regret this tomorrow."

"Krist Perawat take your friend out of my sight right now!"

"Krist he knows your full name? Why does he know your full name and not me?" I started sobbing out loud and krist in a haste started dragging me away from the crowd. I stopped in my tracks to curse that great great grandpa when I felt something bubbling up in my stomach and I threw up all over his shiny black shoes with that darkness engulfed me.
