Twenty Six

A Van and two cars entered the parking lot of Alimento.

They all went out of their respective vehicles and Plen immediately went to Zee

"Zee, Nunew told us that you have bad memories in this place. Im sorry, we didnt know. Will you be alright? " Plen asked him

"You dont have to be sorry. I'll be alright ma. Dont worry" Zee offered her a smile

"Tell us if you get uncomfortable okay? We'll leave straight away" Mon tells him

Zee nodded and smiled at him. It feels like having another family.
"Thank you pa" Zee said

Nunew then came to him and wrapped his arm around Zee as they walk in.
Nunew was busy typing on his phone when he felt Zee tense up.
He looked at Zee and looked at the man infront.

"Who's he?" Nunew whispered to Max who is standing beside him

"That's the owner. Perth" Max said

"The scumbag?" Nunew asked and Max's eyes grew wide

"He told you?" Max said

"That's him then?" Nunew asked again and Max nodded.

Nunew stood up straight and put his phone in his pocket. He then removed his arm from Zee. Nunew then possessively wrapped his hand around Zee's waist which made Zee surprised.

"Nu? What are you doing?" Zee asked him

"I just want to be closer to you thats all" Nunew gave him a naughty smile so he shakes his head and just let it go.

Perth grew surprised when he saw Zee with Nunew. He greeted them as they pass through.

"Hello Mr. Nunew. Thank you for coming to our restaurant. I hope you enjoy your meal" Perth said to Nunew but his eyes are on Zee.

Nunew looked at him and smiled.

"You're greeting me but you're looking at my partner. Im Nunew. Not him. Is there any problem?" Nunew raised his eyebrow at him

"No. Im sorry Mr. Chawarin. Let me show you to your table" Perth said.

"Wow, tiger claws are already out." Tommy snickered to Jimmy

"I hope there's less drama for Zee's sake." Mark worryingly said

They were led into a private dining area that could accomodate them. Nunew immediately sat closer with Zee.

"You know, you're scaring the boys too" Zee chuckles at him

"Sorry, i couldnt contain my inner diva when i come across people i dont like" Nunew said as the waiters hand them the menus.

"You dont have to, im surpsingly okay. You're here" Zee smiles at him softly

Nunew patted Zee's cheek and smiled back.

"Pick anything you want. Nunew will finish them all" Mon said while the others laugh

"Papa!" Nunew whined

"It's true though. With your appetite, you can finish the whole menu" Zee said

"See, even Zee knows" Mon teased Nunew again as he pouts

Zee pinches his cheek.
"You're still cute. So stop sulking and choose your food" Zee told him as he opens the menu.

Still the same menu. Nothing much has changed.
Zee thought as he browses them.

Perth then came back with someone walking behind him.

Max, Mark and Net have grim expression on their faces so Nunew can guess who this is. He protectively puts his arm around Zee's back as he lightly caress Zee's arm.
