Bad Romance

Chapter 17-Us against the world

After Pete left, Vegas came back into the room, smiling, holding the ultrasound that Pete had given him. He looked at it, and tears appeared in the man's eyes. It's his child. A child he didn't want at first, he even wanted to kill him, but now it was something else. The fact that Pete had kissed him had confused Vegas. The young artist thought that he and Pete would never speak again. Maybe it's God, maybe it's destiny, but whatever you call this whole situation, Vegas loved it. That night, he slept so well dreaming about the child he was about to give birth to. He couldn't wait.

SECOND DAY MORNING, PETE'S APARTMENT

"I can't do this anymore. Why am I the one who suffers?" Pete wondered as he threw up.He had woken up a little dizzy. Even after he got out of bed and wanted to make something to eat for himself and Daw, but his child had other plans. When a wave of nausea came, he ran to the toilet immediately. After a few minutes, Pete got up, drew water and washed his teeth and hands.

After leaving the bathroom, he went to the kitchen and started preparing breakfast. After the food was ready, he called the young girl, and Daw appeared with a sleepy face and closed eyes.

"Good morning sunshine. How did you sleep?" Pete asked smiling.

"Ugh. Horrible. I feel like I'm pregnant, not you. What did you cook?" Daw asked curiously.

"Some bacon and eggs. I wanted to try the American breakfast" Pete said and they both started laughing.

They ate and started to prepare for today. Daw had a few apartments to visit and Pete needed to buy some food and some supplements. Plus he still hadn't resolved his resignation to start working as a manager for Decha.

Once they were ready, they left Pete's house and parted ways. The weather was just right, neither too hot nor too cold. Only good for a walk. As Pete walked, he thought about how his life had taken a great turn in just three months. Everything happened only because of that damn kiss in that bathroom of the bar. Before that, he was used to just being Vegas's best friend. And now, he was pregnant with his child, alone, only with Vegas's ex-girlfriend.

Once he arrived at the store, he took a cart and started looking for some food. While he was looking over the cans, he felt a hand on his shoulder. Pete turned to see who was behind him, and a smile appeared on his face. Atid.

"Pete, my friend" said Atid, after which he hugged Pete tightly, the latter responding to his hug.

"How are you? Last time I saw you, you were passed out at Kim's party. I asked everyone what was going on with you, but no one told me anything"

"I'm fine, buddy. Just a drop in calcium. How are you? Sunoo, where is he?"

"Right here, Pete" came Sunoo's voice. "This boyfriend of mine keeps me away from the world because he is afraid that someone will kidnap me" said the young Korean, and all three laughed.

The three men talked a little more, after which Atid and Sunoo left, and Pete continued his shopping. After paying, Pete left the shops, put down his fishnets and opened a bottle of water. When he closed the bottle, he bent down to pick up his nets, but a wave of dizziness came over him, causing him to fall to his knees. Then he heard a shout and someone came running towards him, but he couldn't make out who it was, and in the next moment, a terrible darkness had seized him, and Pete had fainted.

AN HOUR LATER, PETE'S APARTMENT

Pete was starting to wake up, but a headache made him groan. When he managed to open his eyes a little, the outline of two people appeared in front of him, but only after a few moments did he manage to make out who those people were. Vegas and Daw. They seemed to be arguing, so Pete closed his eyes again, pretending he was still passed out.
