Destined

chapter 18

"The hell are you doing here? And who even let you in?" Team asked when he saw Win sitting at the sofa of his penthouse.

"You know I have my ways, Team."

Team sighed and went passed him, "Have you think this through? Barging in my penthouse when you know for a fact that I don't want to talk to you?"

The younger shakes his head, smirking when the other bowed his head down, and when Win was about to talk, he ruthlessly interrupted the other, "And now you'll be telling me again how sorry are you for doing the things that you did in the past. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Why don't you ask yourself first if your action today and this past few months can be counted as sincere? You're no fool, but you're acting like one."

"You didn't change a bit, Win. And you have the face you say that you're sorry."

With his head bowed down, Win stood up and then started walking towards the younger. His knees slowly met the floor, kneeling before the younger, "I..." the other started, his shoulders shaking lightly as sobs ripped from his mouth " I know I don't have the best ways, Team but right now, this is the only way I know to tell you i'm sorry for defending the enemy and being horrible to you. But what can I do, Team? She was treating me so good that I failed to see through her."

After a few seconds, Team sighed and taps the other's shoulder, "Okay, that's enough. Now if you could go, please? I don't like anyone barging at my place without me knowing."

"I'm sorry for this too, Team. I really am."

"Oh please, I'm tired hearing your sorry. I'll probably forgive you once you show me that you've change. It's been five years and you still think that barging in my penthouse just for me to hear what you're sorry for will do you good."

Team walked past the other and lied down the couch, closing his eyes at the process.

"I'm sorry."

"Just fuck, if you're gonna say sorry again, just go home and save it. I'm freaking exhausted, I don't want to hear it again."

"Okay", Win's shoulder slumps as he look at the other who has his eyes closed and asked, "how about I cook for you?"

Team's eyes open at that, "What, you're gonna poison me? I remember you don't even know how to cut vegetables properly."

The older's cheeks as red as tomatoes when the younger look up on him. Team snicker when Win cleared his throat loudly as if he has something stuck in there, "I had mom teach me how to do so, I even know how to cook pork sinigang now."

The younger's eyebrow shot up.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

But why would he mention a thing that is foreign to us?  And my favorite food on that of that.

Team shakes his head and stood up, "Let's go then and buy the ingredients to make whatever that food you said you can cook."

Only when Win stood up he realize that the older was still kneeling, and then his eyebrows knitted when he took a look on the other's appearance.

"Why the hell are your clothes dirty?"

"Uh, well. I fell down a few times when I was climbing to your verandah."

"Ugh, just how didn't you get caught?" Team rubbed his temple and waved his hand dismissively, "Whatever, go and take a shower first, I'll have your clothes ready."

"Okay. Could you... could you tell me where is the bathroom?"

The younger's cheeks went warm, "Go towards the front door and then turn left  before you reach the door,  bathroom's there."

"How does it taste?" Win eagerly wait for the other's response as the younger finishes his portion.

"It taste like... sinigang."

Win's brows knitted, his shoulders slumping.

The younger snickered, "It's good enough, but you must know that putting potatoes in sinigang is kinda weird."

"Okay!!"

"You can go now and rest,  get your back checked tomorrow also. You just climbed a 12 floors building. If you do this again, I don't know if hating would be enough what will i feel for you."

"Okay, sorry."

"Aaaand if you're gonna say sorry again, spare me. And this will be the last time i will warn you about it. Show me you're sorry with your actions, I might consider forgiving you then."

"Thank you, Team."

"Lock the door when you get out."

"What?! You just forgave him like that?! What did he even do aside from cooking your favorite food??! Are you really that dumb?" It was Manaow's loud voice that has Team covering his ears.

The CEO looked at his friend as if questioning the question that was thrown to him, "Just which part of the story did you hear that you concluded I forgave him?"

"Oh HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHA you didn't forgive him easily, right?! You're not that dumb I see. Okay, okay,  just let him suffer for a few more months and then it all depends on you if you want him again. But be honest with me, how did the sinigang taste? Is it really good enough?"

"...it's salty."

"Fuck HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA thought so, but at least that jerk is trying. I'll cut his balls and feed it to your cat if he hurts you again. Bye now, i'll get back to work."

"What did you say?"

With his ears and cheeks red, Win responded, "I said if ever you are free this saturday, maybe I can take you out on a date?"

"A date, huh?"

"Yes, a date."

"I don't know, I need to fix something in the company. It's been going on for months now."

"What happened?"

"Apparently, there's someone in the company who's been exposing all of our plans, making other company to copy us and obviously, we don't want to produce the same product as the other companies who launch it first."

"Well, can i offer you my help?"

"Help? Don't you have to return to Thailand to manage your company? What if something happens there and you're here??"

"Don't worry about me. I asked mom and dad to take care of the company while i'm not there. Plus Dean and fluke is there to help them."

"Won't I be a trouble for you though? What will be the advantage for you if I let you?"

"I'd really like to help you if you would let me. Two heads are better than one, you know? After we solve that, then I can take you out on a date."

"I didn't even say yes yet." Team raised his eyebrow.

"Well..." Win reached out for Team's hand and brought it near his lips before kissing the back of it, "Mr. Yothin, can I take you out on a date after we resolve the issue on your company?"

The younger blushed at that, "Okay."
