It may be the end of his past but his present just started.

"Yes Dad, goodbye," Pete said as he put the phone down.

Rough hand circles around his waist followed by a kiss landing on the side of his neck.

"Morning angel," Vegas said with his gentle tone, he just got out of the shower and his sweet scent spread all over.

"Morning," Pete smile

"Who calls?" Vegas asks as he nudges his nose at the side of Pete's neck.

"Your father-in-law," Pete said jokingly.

Pete gets out of Vegas' embrace, "New semester start next week"

"I see" Vegas

"I'm going on a business trip to Europe next week too." Vegas, "For the whole month."

"Whole month? What type of business?" Pete asks with a frown.

"The type that makes money for me," Vegas

Pete stares at him, curiousness filling his eyes "Aren't you going to tell me?"

"Fine, whatever." Pete then goes to take a shower but Vegas catch his hand.

"Pete," Vegas, "I'm ready to tell you when you're ready and it for sure not right now."

"I plan to ask you to come with me but I guess that isn't the case now." Vegas

Pete gives a playful smirk, "Why? You can't live a month without me?"

"I will try," Vegas

A week pass by in a blink and it's time for Vegas' business trip. Pete gets ready for his first day of school while he is at it, Vegas keeps staring at him.

"Stop staring already-" Pete, "I know I'm hot."

Vegas smile but soon the smile fades replace with a stoic face, "I will miss you. Childish, right?"

"Come on," Pete walked toward him, "Don't be childish."

"Promise to answer my every call," Vegas said as he hugged his waist.

"Mm, as long as you call." Pete

It has been 20 days since Vegas has gone to Europe, and everything is normal, except for his feeling of missing someone too much to the point of craving. His routine repeated, work, meetings, and an insomnia night.

Pete has a leisurely day, even though he didn't say it but deep down he also misses Vegas, the enormous mansion feels empty without his presence. Every time they call, Vegas was the first to say, '...I miss you and I love you'.

Today is the weekend, Pete's mind was occupied with Vegas for the entire day so he decided to busy his mind with something else, shopping. As he is preparing, a phone call makes him halt the caller is none other than his fiancé.

"Hi," Pete put his phone on speaker and continued.

"Hey angel," Vegas' gentle voice stirs the butterfly inside Pete, "Where are you going?"

Vegas can see he is preparing as they are on a video call.

"Wasting your black Amex," Pete said as he shook his brow playfully.
