Bad Romance

Chapter 11-Even the universe is against us

A torrential rain had fallen on the city of Chiang Mai. Black clouds covered the sky, and large drops of rain hit the ground with extraordinary speed. The lightning lit up the sky making people take shelter wherever they could. A man with a black leather jacket over his head was running through the heavy rain, wanting to get to the shelter as soon as possible. After a few minutes, he walked into the reception of a hotel and went up to the room on the 8th floor of the hotel. He opened the door of the room where darkness reigned and approached the table in the middle of the room to leave a net with food. The bathroom door opened, another man came out with a towel around his waist and another towel in his hand with which he was wiping his slightly damp hair.

"Vegas, are you back?" Pete asked softly.

"Hardly, but yes. A bad storm started outside" Vegas said while taking off his shirt and getting ready to go to the bathroom. "I bought some food. I'm going to take a shower, if you want you can eat first or you can wait for me and eat together". Saying this, the man closed the bathroom door, turning on the water.

Meanwhile, in the room, Pete had put on some comfortable clothes and turned on the TV. He had turned on a news channel and had seen that the storm had done a lot of damage both in Chiang-Mai and in other surrounding cities. This rain had come out of nowhere and within a few minutes of its arrival, it had already caused disasters. When Vegas left to buy some take out, Pete was still asleep.Yesterday night, after what had happened between the two of them, Pete had fallen asleep with his head on Vegas's chest, the sound of his heartbeat being like a beautiful melody to Pete. Vegas looked at the man in his arms and couldn't deny that Pete was a handsome man. With small eyes and long and thick eyelashes, a small nose, soft cheeks, a small and red mouth from Vegas's kisses and dimples that were only noticeable when he smiled. A beautiful and serene smile that made your day when you saw it, but which Vegas had completely destroyed.

After they'd slept for a few hours, Vegas was the first to wake up and thought he'd go buy some food for himself and Pete. Said and done! He had dressed and left a note for Pete telling him he was going to a restaurant and not to worry because he would be back as soon as possible, only that Vegas had taken longer than he expected because of the storm. All this time, Pete had woken up alone in bed and a feeling of disappointment had taken over his soul. But when he saw the Vegas's ticket, his disappointment turned into joy and a smile appeared on the young man's face. Although they were friends with benefits, Vegas and Pete were still best friends and nothing and no one could have broken the bond between the two.

After some time, the bathroom door opened, Vegas came out dressed in a simple black T-shirt and a pair of shorts. He sat down on the bed, next to Pete, and they both watched TV without either of them making a sound. The raindrops were hitting the window of the room with force and you could feel a slight cold air. Pete had started to shiver slightly because of the cool air, and Vegas noticed this and took a blanket and put it on the man's legs. He smiled slightly, saying a whispered "thank you", and Vegas just nodded.

"Do you want to eat? You haven't eaten since yesterday after dinner" asked Vegas after some time.

"Mmm...yeah, I'm pretty hungry" said Pete who was about to fall asleep.

They both got up from the comfortable bed and headed to the table where Vegas had left the net with the food that had almost cooled. Pete had brought two pillows that he had put on the floor so that the two could sit comfortably while they ate, and Vegas had taken the food out of the net. The smell of yellow curry rice filled the room, and Pete's eyes sparkled with joy. Vegas had bought his favorite food. Besides rice, there was also boiled pork and lots of seafood. There were also two bowls containing Pad Thai, one of Vegas's favorite food. They both smiled at the delight in front of them and began to eat, having the sound of the rain and the television in the background to accompany them.
