I Promise

Candle Light Dinner

-Pete-

We've found a babysitter for Venice. A young woman with long hair and a cute appearance. Maybe... Just maybe if I'm not falling for Vegas, I will be pursuing this girl. Looking at my gesture when I met her for the first time, Vegas was a little bit annoyed. At first, Vegas doesn't want to hire her, but there's no other candidate who wants to work as a babysitter for a mafia family. So, he has no choice.

The party is tomorrow, and currently, Vegas and I are shopping for the party outfit. I told him that I could just wear his old tuxedo but he insist to buy a new one for me. He also wants Venice to stay at home with the babysitter, and when I refuse, he gives me the silent treatment. Then here we are walking around a big mall and visiting formal wear shops one by one.

I never pay attention to what I'm wearing, I only use a uniform when I'm on duty and casual clothes when I'm off (mostly training) before becoming Vegas's boyfriend, and since I have always been at home since then I have only worn his shirt and my old shirts.

"Come on, let's go to that shop." Vegas pulled my arm.

"Why? We already bought the attire for the party!" I stand still.

"Maybe they have a better one there,"

"Then why did we buy this one?" I argued

"It looks good on you,"

"Then, if there is another attire that you think is good for me, will you buy it too?" I asked him, disbelieving his answer.

"Of course! I will buy every clothes in the world if that is necessary. Since you look good in every clothes"

I keep stand don't want to move at all and didn't say anything again when he leaned toward me and whispered.

"But I like you in your birthday suit better." He winked at me.

I was stunned and lost my mind for a while. Vegas uses that chance to pull me to the next shop.

We kept shopping for 3 hours straight, I followed him, thinking that if I didn't incite any argument, we might finish this sooner. But, I was wrong.

"Vegas, we already bought a lot of attire. Not only for tomorrow's party but also for your birthday, my birthday, Venice's birthday, Macau's birthday, Macau's graduation party, and much more, I don't even know for what! Let's go home!" I pulled his arm towards the escalator. He followed me.

We walk past a restaurant, and the food smell makes me hungry. I stopped and looked at Vegas. He looked at me and understood that I wanted to eat. But when he walked to the restaurant I didn't follow him.

"Why are you standing there? Let's go eat. " He pulled me

"But, what about Venice and Macau? I don't feel good eating delicious food without them. " I feel bad thinking about eating without knowing if they're eating or not at home.

"They must have eaten by now. Macau can take care of himself, and we hire a babysitter to take care of Venice. Stop feeling guilty, and let's go!" Vegas pulled me harder.

We finally went in and sat in the balcony area. The restaurant is quite fancy the ambiance is calm and relaxed because there's a lot of space between the tables and the light isn't too bright. We sat quite far from the crowd, near the edge of the balcony area. There's a small candle on our table that makes the atmosphere more romantic.

"The food here must be expensive, Vegas! We should eat at home. " I still feel quite guilty

"Pete, we never had time to date. Can't you be mine for today?" He holds my hands.

"I'm yours everyday Vegas"

"No, you're not. At home, you always give your attention to Venice, and when Macau comes back from school, you'll pay attention to him. The only time you ever gave is only when we're about to sleep. Even now, you only think about those two at home. " He's pouting.

"I.. I'm sorry if you feel that way. It's just... Venice is still a baby, and Macau has been through a lot. Everything that happens must be hard for him. " I look at him. I didn't realize that even though I think about him all the time, I am never really beside him except when we're about to sleep.

"Now that Venice already has a babysitter and Macau has already gotten better, will you pay attention to me more? At least for now, let's enjoy our dinner date. Let's do what other couples do... Please!" He begged me softly and kissed the back of my hands.

I didn't answer him but pulled his hands and kissed the back of his hands like he just did to me and smiled.

"It's cold in here," I said to him

"Let me keep you warm." He put his hands on my neck, and then after a while, he framed my face and caressed my cheeks.

I kissed his palmed

"I love you," I said to him

"I love you more," He answered me.

We enjoyed our dinner with light conversation, jokes, and exchanging love sentences. I dated girls before, but I never felt this happy. Vegas makes my heart content with love, even though we bickered because of each other's stubbornness, but it always ends with hugs, kisses, and love.
