Sincerely Yours

Chapter 9: When Dreams Become Reality

Summary:

It's a brand new day. The two newly engaged couples are together and flying high. Even with love in the air, Zee's plans to get his parents out of Chang Rai and out of the clutches of Mófǎ have begun. Will they succeed, or will Mófǎ and her family stop them from accomplishing the one thing he wanted to give Nhu the most? A complete family.

Zee woke before Nhu as he expected to. Regardless of when he went to bed, he was always an early riser. Nhu was curled up against him, wrapped in his arms. In the first fog of waking, he thought he was having that dream again.

But when Nhu didn't disappear, he realized that it wasn't a dream, it was very real and on Nhu's finger was the ring he had designed just for him. He had a fiancée, and Nhu promised that he would marry him. His life was finally complete.

The feeling was everything he hoped it would be. He was a taken man, and it felt so good. He was glad he had these few moments to cherish the feeling of Nhu sleeping in his arms.

Yesterday Zee had put many plans in motion, and today he would have to keep watch of every little detail. Nothing could go wrong. His whole world, the man in his arms, was counting on him. His family was at stake. They could not fail.

His phone buzzed on the night table, and he looked to see who was calling so early. He almost didn't bother, but he knew he had to be ready if something happened today. It was Boun. He answered quietly, not wanting to get out of bed and away from Nhu.

"You are up too? I thought you would be tired from your night festivities," Zee chuckled softly.

He could hear Boun's exasperated sigh and hear the bed covers rustle through the phone. He had heard Prem slept like a rock, but even a rock could have felt Boun kicking himself out of his covers.

"There were no night festivities other than some very frustrating making out and a happy ending that was not very satisfying in the shower," Boun grumbled, frustrated.

Zee snickered, and while he had about the same with Nhu with some extras, he was pleased with how the night went.

"Maybe you did it wrong," Zee laughed happily.

Boun huffed again; he knew his friend was as frustrated as he was, but could he not be so happy? He was different. He didn't like to wait. He needed Prem under him, crying out his name. It was all he could think of. He needed him like he needed air. He still couldn't believe he had enough restraint to refrain from having sex.

Zee was also surprised that they didn't have sex last night. He remembered that Boun had told him that when he met Prem, they could not control themselves. They immediately began having sex the day they met.

The attraction was more than either could handle. Not that Zee didn't feel the same way about Nhu, but Nhu was more skittish than Prem was. Nhu's fear of falling in love kept them in check, or was he already in love and terrified of what it would have meant? He had never thought of that scenario. They would have to talk about the past more. He needed to know.

He had been on a date with Nhu when Boun called and told him he had found the one. With many fantastic times spent together, the incredible double date with Boun and Prem led to the night at the moon bar being magical. Nhu had clung to him. Their kisses were urgent and passionate, and their bodies strained to get closer.

Zee drove Nhu back to the house the company had rented for the actors. Bando Productions always required their actors to be on-site in case they needed to do any retakes. It made sense but cramped his style that Nhu had a 1 am curfew.
