Honey Like

Chapter 5

Pete and Porsche were sitting in Pete's living room, both wrapped in blankets ignoring the movie playing on the TV screen cause they had a lot to talk about, "Let me get this straight, So Venice is Vegas's adopted son?" Pete asked shifting his position to a serious one, "Yes, like I said he adopted him almost 4 years ago," Porsche explained munching on the snacks in front of them, "Aah, so Venice doesn't have a mother?" "Well technically he does but she's not part of his life so...no?" "I see, so Vegas is not divorced or widowed?" "No," Pete nodded letting his brain process the information he just received,

"But is there a possibility that he has a mother figure now or-" "Vegas is single, Pete," Porsche said after his patience ran out, "really! I MEAN I don't care, why would I care about his social status, it's none of my business," Pete's ears turned red as he hid his face in the blanket, and Porsche started laughing at him, "So you're the one kinn told me about?" Pete's attention was on Porsche again "Told you what?!" "He said that Vegas has a crush on Venice's teacher, he smiles like an idiot whenever they're texting and they seem to get along very well, which is so unlike Vegas, I would've never guessed that person is you,"

"He smiles when I text him?" Pete asked, dumbfounded."Yes, I didn't believe Kinn at first, Vegas never smiles with random people, I only remember seeing his smile when he's with Venice," "For real??" Porsche nodded, "I mean, haven't you noticed a difference in his personality when he's not with you??" Pete thought for a second "Well, the mothers in the daycare keep flirting with him all the time but he never responds, he doesn't even look at them unless it's necessary," Porsche took a sip of his drink smiling widely, "Now that sounds more like vegas, go on", "But, when he sees me he always approaches me with a smile and asks me how I'm doing...oh," Pete's eyes widened as he had a sudden realisation, Porsche gave him a smirk and a wink, "Exactly," "maybe he treats me nicely because of Venice,"

"him allowing you to carry Venice and spend time with him outside of class is itself shocking to me, Pete," "He's so protective of him, He mentioned something about almost losing Venice," Pete couldn't help his curiosity, Porsche took a deep breath and faced Pete, "Remember that time in the hospital? Kinn's uncle passed away in a car crash, and venice was in that car," Pete felt a strong fist clenching his heart, "he was Venice's grandpa?" "Yeah, Vegas was so devastated after that day, and if you think he's protective of Venice now you should've seen him back then, it's honestly a miracle he agreed to send Venice to daycare,"

Pete remained silent, unable to find words to say, getting in a car crash is hard, but losing someone to it is something he never experienced but can only imagine how sudden and devastating it is, "Anyways, they're both getting better, and if I'm being honest part of it is thanks to you Pete, Venice is so difficult around strangers and from what I got today, he's pretty attached to you already, and that's impressive actually, and what's more impressive is vegas allowing it, haha if it was someone else holding venice he would shoot them in the head, but he was so okay with it it honestly caught me off guard,"

"Porsche, Do you think he actually likes me?" Pete asked hesitantly, "I can't talk for him Pete, but I know that for him, you are more than just his son's teacher," Porsche leaned closer to Pete, "What about you sweetheart, do you like him?" He asked him as his fingers started brushing his hair strands slowly,
"Well, I definitely feel something, I do enjoy his company and I find him very attractive, but I don't want to get too attached since it never ends well hehe," Pete has a history of unrequited love that ended with a broken heart, that's why he stopped getting involved in any romance shit, but with vegas he seems to lose control over his heart whenever the man is around, "maybe you should give it some time, get to know each other more and then you can decide," Porsche explained, "You're right, besides we're not sure he thinks of me like that,"

Pete's phone vibrated and he picked it up immediately, a smile appeared on his face when he saw the message, It was a selfie of Venice and Vegas in bed, Venice looked sleepy and crawled in Vegas's arms,
