EXCHANGE OF HEARTS [BL]

CHAPTER 38

"You're always on your phone," Atlas felt Sebastian seated beside him. "What are you doing? I often saw you with your phone and scribing something in your notebook." When Atlas didn't speak, Sebastian reached the note and he read it.

"Places I want to go together with my boyfriend..."

Atlas looked up and snatched his note. "Hey, it's invading privacy, you know?"

Sebastian stared at him amused.

"You're really in love," Sebastian shook his head.

He shooed Sebastian away. "Go away, Sebastian."

But, Sebastian shouted. "Hey, guys!" Rile and James comes into the view. "Our Atlas is planning for a trip with his boyfriend!"

"Hey, are you going to leave us here?" James pouted and Atlas frowned-pushing James away from him.

"It's my date with Race, okay? It's my first to travel with him, so you are staying here," Atlas looked like he was scolding a kid.

"We're coming, but we are not going to disturb your or interrupts your romantic date with Race." James swore and held up his left hand.

Atlas stopped scribing and he lifted his brows at James. "Not gonna happen. You," he pointed James, "stay here. You are my hacker, so you need to tell me what happen here while I am away."

Atlas saw James pouted and he rolled his eyes before he continued noting down his plan of activities to the places they will visit.

"Your mom is out of the country, right?" Rile said from the opposite sofa.

"I can't put my guards down, Rile. Who knows what my mother think? I don't know when she's going to strike,"

"She didn't let you quit." Said Sebastian with a serious tone.

"She won't let me. He always threaten me,"

Atlas gripped the pen tighter, he can't focus on writing because his mind was flooded of his anger towards his mother. After his brother retrieved the painting from Race's parents, Atlas thought that his mother will let him quit from his job and let him live with a peaceful life, but he's wrong.

His mother tricked him. Every now and then, when he opened up about his retirement, his mother always threaten him to hurt Bridgette (they thought Bridgette is his girlfriend) and sometimes they also threatens Race's life.

"What are you going to do? You already know that your mother won't let you quit this job,"

Atlas's jaw clenched as well as his fist. He stared at up to friends and said. "If my mother going to fight me, then I'll declare a war against them."
