Will You Ever Love Me ~ vegaspete

part 12

Pete's pov

The whole week passed by really fast. Vegas's was ignoring me most of the time, and whenever i tried to confront vegas about it, vegas totally denied it, says it was due to the work he had to handle in his father's absence. Even though it hurt me a lot, i still didn't say anything and tried to be a open minded person.

Finally, tomorrow was the day, I've been waiting for. I was going to meet my friends. I was super excited, but the excitement didn't last long as i remembered what happened last time. i got really nervous trying to think how will i explain it to them, i was deep in thoughts when vegas entered our room, "pete," vegas called out, making me come back to reality again. I looked at him. " Yes, vegas, " i asked politely.  Vegas came up to me and caressed my cheek gently. " Is there something bothering you, my love?" vegas asked me, " No ,vegas, there's nothing bothering me. im just a bit nervous to meet my friends again, " i told him, to which he responded to me with a forehead kiss and continued ," You don't need to be worried, my dear they're your friends. Why are you even nervous?" His tiny, loving gestures never failed to make me blush still. I answered his question in a low tone."It's about how i left them the last time. How am i going to explain it to them?" Vegas pulled me in a hug."No need to overthink. I'll talk to them myself if you can't do it ,ok?"
I smiled widely at his response. " Thanks, vegas," i said softly. I wasn't expecting to see vegas today like the past whole week, but vegas somehow  showed up out of nowhere. My worries automatically vanished the moment i saw Vegas and heard his comforting words. i was distracted when vegas spoke again. "You must be hungry. Let's go downstairs. I'll cook you something to make you feel better." Since my mother died, my grandmother was the only person who ever loved me and cared for me it was the first time someone other than her was cooking for me and was worried about my wellbeing. I pulled vegas in a long, gentle kiss. "Thanks for being in my life, and thanks for making me feel loved,"

We went downstairs and walked in the kitchen looking for something to eat when vegas spoke out of nowhere. "i was not ignoring you, pete. Actually, it's quite the opposite. i missed you a lot, but there's too much work to do that i can't make time for you. So today I'll cook for you myself to make it up to you, " vegas said lovingly, making my cheeks burn a little. "You don't need to cook for me, khun vegas. Im already grateful for your presence." I teased him,giggling."but i want to make food for you, Mrs. Kornwit theerapanyakul"i didn't expect that kinda reply from him. i hid my face in my hands as i didn't want him to see my burning red face.

Vegas's pov

An hour ago~

I was sitting in my office planning stuff i needed to get done. When i remembered pete's pained expression last time we talked. His sad face had been flashing through my mind for the past week. It made me feel weird every time he was sad. I didn't want for him to suffer, but i had to do it. "Maybe i should do something for him to feel better." I thought to myself. " wtf vegas what are you thinking?" The voices in my head said, making me realise that i had no reason to care about his happiness. "No, i don't care about him, im only doing this, so he stays loyal to me." i reasoned with my ownself. "Let's see how to make someone happy then," i mumbled

It had been half an hour, and google was giving me weird ideas. " i don't think so. i can take him out on a date i still had a lot of work pending "  i scrolled down when i found a good idea "i can cook for him it won't take much time and it's easy as well" i said to myself proudly finally happy about finding something good. I stood up immediately to go to pete's room. Just thinking of him being happy made me smile like an idiot.

Present ~

Pete was teasing me, saying he was grateful for my presence, so i decided to tease him back, but soon i realised how awkward things became cause of my comment " why did i say it" i yelled internally, ready to bang my head against the wall. "Don't force yourself, vegas, i understand you have a lot of work to do. Now that you have got a little break, you should rest instead of cooking for me." Pete said softly." im not forcing myself to do anything, my dear, i really want to cook for you, " i told him lovingly and there it was the smile i was doing it all for, his cute innocent smile showing off his dimples.

"So what do you want to eat, khun pete."  i teased. "It doesn't matter as long as you're cooking." he kissed my cheek softly. I told pete to wait at the table as i cooked for him.

I was so excited to see him smile that i forgot I've never cooked before in my entire life. " Aye shit," i cursed. I didn't know what to do, so i started googling recipes. After a little scrolling, i found the easiest recipe curry rice. But little did i know that  cooking was more difficult than talking some sense into tankhun. I played a YouTube video on how to cook it, but after seeing the video, i changed my mind about the easiest recipe part. "It's ok, vegas, how hard can it be?" I questioned myself

I was finally done with cooking the meal, and i seriously regretted my decision to ever cook. "This shit is really hard to do," i gave the final touch to my dish. The whole kitchen was a disaster, rice stuck in my hair, and my hands had several little cuts and burns, but after all that, i was happy that my dish tasted decent if not good but it was way to spicy for my liking. "Well, let's serve it then," i asked the maids to serve it and went out to sit with pete. "I hope you like it.". "I'll love it. You made it specially for me after all, " pete said, smiling. The dishes were served shortly. "I don't think you should eat it, pete. It's spicy, " i warned pete."i love spicy food,vegas. So you don't need to worry about me. " When the dish arrived, we ate in silence. pete was really enjoying it even after it tasted awfully spicy. My face was burning red cause my spice tolerance was very low, "im done i can't eat anymore." i ran to the kitchen to get a glass of milk to cool myself down, "are you ok, vegas?" Pete asked worriedly, entering the kitchen right after me. " You shouldn't have forced yourself to eat it if you can't eat spicy food." Pete scolded me. "Now stay here. I'll make you the only non spicy thing i know how to cook," i quietly sat down at the table again after a little while pete came back with a plate. "Sorry, i can only make rice and omelette in non spicy dishes cause back at my island everyone eat spicy food." Pete explained. "It's ok, pete. Thank you for cooking for me." I thanked pete and started eating, but my hands were hurting really bad cause of all the burns and cuts i got while cooking, i didn't realise when i hissed out loud, "are you ok,vegas. " pete asked, not noticing my injured hand. "Yes, im ok, just a little burn.". " Aye vegas,  show me your hand im sure it's far from little." He took my hand and examined the wounds even though it was just a small act of kindness he would have done for anyone. Still, it gave me butterflies in the stomach, but still, i decided to ignore this feeling like i had been for the past whole week. It was the same feeling as when he smiled, showing off his dimples for the first time, how my heart melted. "Vegas, vegas... do you feel uncomfortable?" When i zone in again, pete was asking me about my hand, which he just treated." No, im feeling ok now, thank you." I thanked him and tried to pick up the spoon again, but it hurt a lot. "Give it to me, let me help you," pete offered, and i gladly accepted it. I handed over the spoon to him and began feeding me. "Even though i was only using him for my plan, i want this moment to last forever." I wished for him to stay with me forever, but deep down, i already knew it was not possible. I had to make my father proud and take revenge for my mother. I knew i still had to give macau a better future, and to achieve it all, i had to do this to pete, i had to play with his feelings and break his heart. I knew he would never forgive me for it, but maybe in another life.

We finished eating, and the maids came to pick up dishes. "Thank you for the amazing food, vegas." ."Anything for you, love," i replied softly, i couldn't believe i wasted a whole day cooking and laughing. It was already dark outside, so we decided to go to bed early cause, according to pete, it was a big day tomorrow.

We got in bed after taking a shower. It felt amazing to have him in my arms, sleeping while cuddling with me, how he looked like an angle. I gently kissed his forehead, wishing him goodnight. He replied a goodnight back, too. Pete quickly falls asleep, no sign of worries on his face from this morning i was gald to see him relax but there was no time for me to relax as i had to proceed further with my plans. "Hope everything goes well tomorrow," i mumbled to myself, wishing for the best for tomorrow.
