Universe (VegasPete) R18

Chapter 62 - Hell finds you everywhere

-Pete-

Pete: Do you have a place to sleep?

Macau: Emi's place on campus. Don't worry P'Pete.

Pete: I will give you money for food. Can we meet tomorrow?

Macau: Thank you P'Pete but I don't want to take your money, I can take care of myself and Emi

Pete: This was not a question. So, can we met?

Macau: Where? Hia said I can't come home anymore...

Pete: Your brother is going to change his mind; he just needs time.

Macau: He doesn't love me anymore. Emi says you can home at her place. What time?

Pete: Don't say that you are everything for him. Around 2pm?

Macau: Ok.

Pete: Sleep well. Everything is going to be all right.

I put my cell phone on the nightstand and let out a heavy sigh. I grabbed my head between my hands and closed my eyes.

It didn't feel real. This whole situation. Like it wasn't enough to be threatened by a lunatic old Japanese man, now Macau is going to be a father. And Emi is going to be a mother. Is this a bad written mafia show or what? Damn it.

When I saw Emi's bump earlier, the truth hit me hard.

But something felt strange, unusual. Something unfolded in me. Something new, a new feeling. There was a little boy, or a little girl in there...Damn, Macau stole condoms from me and all of this...For this. I knew I should have shown him sexual education videos from Youtube.

I chuckled slightly and shook my head. I lay on the mattress and took a deep breath. I felt drained. And above all, I felt sorry. Sorry for both of them. Vegas and Macau.

I knew Vegas didn't mean what he said to Macau. Of course, the mansion will always be his home. And above all, he still sees Macau as his brother.

But for now, I also knew that Vegas wouldn't admit it.

I turned my head and looked at him sleeping next to me. This tense and worried look on his face. As soon as Vegas laid on the bed after Macau and Emi left, he fell asleep. He didn't even take a shower or take off his clothes. He just crashed.

I turned off the light and lay beside him. And I watched him sleep. It was already 6 am. I knew Venice would wake up in about an hour. I knew I wasn't going to sleep at all.

So, I stayed there, trying to figure out how I will be able to convince Vegas to accept his brother's choice. How I will be able to explain to him that there's nothing he can do against their love.

Because I've been there. I know how it feels.

When I fell for Vegas, nobody was on my side. Nobody understood. But nobody could do anything against my love for him, I would have given up everything just to be with him. And that's what I did.

And as I was looking at the one I gave my life to, my heart started to beat stronger in my chest. Every time my eyes stopped on him, asleep, awake, or just simply breathing, I can't stop this wave that takes over me. And I wonder if Vegas feels it too. That reassuring, comforting and soothing wave. The one that make us know we are finally home.

I grazed my finger on Vegas cheek slowly. Move a strand of his hair that was hiding his knitted eyebrows. And his eyes opened slowly.

I didn't withdraw my hand, but I stopped moving. And Vegas' lids stayed opened.
