Escaping the past (VegasPete 18+)

1. Family is you

Pete's POV

It has already been a year since Vega's accident and a lot have happened since then. Porsche was appointed as the Minor's family head by Khun Korn and Kinn has officially replaced his father as the head of the Major family. Never in the past was the Minor and Major family so close. As Kinn's and Porsche's relationship was growing stronger so was the Theerapanyakul family. I still remember Vega's reaction when he was first informed about the new Minor head...

Flashback

It has been 4 days since Vegas was discharged from the hospital and a month since he woke up from his coma. The doctors advised him to minimize any activities that could bring him any physical distress. He still had a few bruises across his body but thankfully nothing life threating.

"My uncle called me to the Major house", he said as he tried to find a more comfortable place in his bed.

I turned around and looked at him as I was holding a crying Venice on my hands. Since we came in our home he was crying more often, in comparison to when we were in the hospital. He still needs time to adapt to the new environment.

"Uhmm", I said as I nodded while still looking at him. He closed his eyes and had a painful grimace on his face as he couldn't get comfortable. I decided to put Venice on his crib for a while in order to help Vegas. As soon as I let the baby down, he immediately started crying louder.

"I am sorry Venice, just for a while", I whispered to him as if he could understand me.

As I approached Vegas on our bed, I grabbed two pillows for him. "Here, let me help you", I said, and I put the first pillow behind his back, as he was leaning on the headboard, while I put the other pillow under his right hand, as it was still broken. After a few seconds he signed in a relieve with a small smile on his face.

"Is that better?", I asked while returning his smile. He didn't say anything but looked at me. Automatically my right hand moved on his left cheek and touched it gently. As soon as I did that Vegas closed his eyes and leaned on my palm without a delay. He seemed to enjoy my touch, as he didn't open his eyes for a few seconds.

"Are you alright?", I questioned him once again.

"As long as you are beside me, I will be fine", he responded and finally looked at me again with a smile on his face. His smile melted me and made my heart beat faster.

Ah... Does he even know how much I love him? I would do anything for him, I thought to myself.

I unconsciously leaned forward to kiss him. It seemed like I was moving in slow motion, as I was able to capture the change on Vega's face. He looked at me surprised. My eyes moved from his eyes to his lips, and I saw him licking his lips. We were a few centimetres away from each other. I could feel his hot breath on my lips.

"Pete" his voice so low that I could barely hear it. Just by hearing him call my name it was enough for me to leave a low moan. I moved forward once again to close any distance between us. Just a little more, I thought to myself, and just before finally kissing him...

"Waaaaaaaaaaah" we both jerked from our seats as we heard Venice's loud crying. Without thinking I stood up and headed towards Venice's crib. As I raised the boy and rocked him to calm him done, I heard Vegas cursing.

"Damn it", he said as he held his back. It seems that as he was surprised by Venice's loud crying, he pulled a back muscle.

"Are you ok?", I asked him as I was shushing the crying boy on my hands to calm him done. "Were you hurt?", I continued.
