Honey Like

Chapter 13

Vegas was driving while trying to call Pete for the 1000th time that day, he hadn't spoken to him since morning and he was not answering his phone, Given his weird behavior the past couple of days, vegas couldn't stop his anxiety from raging, Venice was in the backseat since he wanted to see his papa, they reached Pete's apartment and vegas tried to call him one more time but still no answer,

He stepped out of the car, carried Venice in his arms, and walked to the door, after knocking several times the door opened but it was Porsche, "Where's Pete?" "Pa?" "Pete's not feeling well vegas, maybe you should come back tomorrow," Porsche said already knowing that it was pointless, "Porsche, what is going on with my boyfriend," vegas sounded too determined to know the truth that Porsche had no choice but to let him in,

"He's resting in his room, he had a rough day," "I want to see him," Porsche hesitated for a moment not knowing if it was a good idea for Pete to see Vegas now, "Fine, but don't ask any questions yet," vegas nodded "okay," then he placed venice on the sofa and faced him, "Daddy is going to see pa now okay?" "Venice?" The child asked with a pout, "Venice will be here with Uncle Porsche, once pa feels better he will come to you, can you be a good boy and wait for us here?" Venice nodded but he was still sad, vegas smiled and kissed him "That's my boy," then he stood up and went to Pete's bedroom,

Pete was lying on his bed crawled on himself, his cheeks were covered with dried tears and millions of thoughts were running through his head making it impossible for him to fall asleep, and moments later he felt a shifting behind him and he didn't need to even guess that it was vegas, his strong perfume scent was engraved in his soul, it has become his favorite scent but right now, it made his whole body shiver and his eyes got soaked in new tears again, everything in him wants vegas, his warm embrace his comforting words, but he couldn't find the strength to face him,

"Pete," Vegas called in a low voice but it was enough to make Pete's body tense up, "what's wrong baby are you hurting?" He asked touching his shoulder carefully and Pete couldn't stop tears from escaping his eyes, and finally he turned around slowly meeting Vegas's extremely worried eyes, and before he could stop his body, he jumped into his arms burying his entire being in them, crying with loud sobs and gasps as if his soul was screaming for help, vegas held him tightly scared he might lose him again,

"I'm so sorry," "No no baby it's alright I'm here now, I've got you," Hearing Pete's heartbreaking cries is a new form of pain for Vegas, and feeling helpless and being unable to help him is tearing him apart, "What should I do now vegas, please tell me what to do I'm so scared," "I'm with you my love, nothing is gonna happen I'm right here I promise," vegas kept caressing the trembling man in his arms gently, he left kisses on his face mumbling reassuring words until his sobs turned to sniffles,

"Pete, I know you probably don't want to talk right now, but please baby can you tell me what's wrong?? You've been hurting in front of me for days now and it's killing me, love, I want to help you but I can't if you don't tell me what happened," Pete raised his head slowly and looked at Vegas who leaned forward and kissed his teary eyes, "Vegas... it was me...I...the accident...your father and Venice...it was me in the other car," Pete was fighting to get the words out of his throat, watching the mixed expressions on vegas' face, "w-what"

Pete got the envelope from the nightstand drawer and handed it to Vegas with shaky hands, "Please don't be mad at me but, Time gave me this today," vegas looked at him raising his eyebrows, "Pe-" "I know I shouldn't have met him and I'm really sorry but I needed answers vegas, I couldn't ignore it anymore," pete was a nerve wreck, and vegas could see it, he looked scared and vegas wanted to comfort him, to hide him in his heart but he was feeling too many things to catch up with each of them, but he's pretty sure his face only showed the anger, which made pete evidently panic, but why? He's not angry with him, he wanted to tell him but before he could say a word Pete took his hand desperately,

"Vegas I know you will never forgive me, and you have all the right to hate me, I should've tried harder I should've got him out of that car before...before-" Pete lost his words in the sobs and the fast breathing "I- I'm really sorry I'm so sorry please forgive me," vegas' expression immediately shifted to a shocked one as he grabbed pete's face looking into his eyes, "hey hey hey, what are you saying love!? are you hearing yourself??? What happened was not your fault baby, it was an accident,"

"I know b-but-" "Pete listen to me, you saved my Venice, you risked your life for him, you are the reason Venice is here today and I owe you my life for it, no, you already own my life Pete, I love you so fucking much and nothing in this world can make me hate you do you hear me, what happened was an accident, you are not at fault baby," he placed a long kiss on Pete's forehead, giving him time to feel safe and calm again, "Thank you so much Pete, thank you for saving our Venice, and know that I will never in my life blame you for anything else that happened that day," vegas mumbled those words after he hugged Pete to his heart tightly,

"Vegas," Pete said crawled in Vegas's arms, "yes love?" "Are you not mad I met Time?" "No, I'm mad he kept going near you, and he stuck his nose in something sensitive and personal, but I'm not mad at you," Vegas paused before he continued, "Pete, why didn't you tell me? Don't you trust me?" Pete shook his head quickly pulling away to face him, "No, it's not that Vegas I promise, there hasn't been a second in the past couple of days that I didn't want to tell you everything, but I was scared, scared that you might leave me, or hate me, I'm really sorry"

Vegas could see the desperation in his boyfriend's eyes and how they screamed and begged for reassurance, so he cupped his face with his hands and leaned forward capturing his wet and swollen lips, he kissed him slowly taking his sweet time, making sure he pours all his feelings into it, and soon the kiss got deeper and more passionate until both ran out of breath,

"You are my Pete, mine, and you're a part of my soul now, there's no me without you do you understand, what happened is in the past, so we will leave it there, you and Venice are my whole family now and that's what I want to focus on." vegas mumbled those words in pete's ears after he hugged him gently, "I love you, I really do," Vegas smiled and kissed pete on his face, "I love you too baby, do you want to see venice?" Pete thought for a second and nodded, "Yeah," vegas kissed him one more time and stood up taking his hand, "Let's go,"

Venice was sitting quietly in the living room with Porsche who was trying desperately to entertain the little boy, "Do you want to play a game buddy?" Venice shook his head "No, I want Papa," he said with tears in the corner of his eyes, and at the same moment Pete and Vegas walked in, "Pa!" Venice shouted and ran to Pete who took him into his arms squeezing the life out of him, "Pa is here baby," "Venice miss Pa, don't go" the boy said with a broken tone making Pete's heart shatter to pieces,

Pete pulled away slightly and started wiping Venice's tears, "Pa is sorry muffin, I'm not going anywhere I promise," he kissed his cheeks and hugged him again carrying him up the ground, vegas wrapped his arms around both of them and they stood there in silence, "is everything good here?" Porsche asked feeling like an outsider, "yes Porsche, thank you," "okay then I will take my leave now, see you guys later, take it easy Pete, and rest well," "I will, good bye" Pete waved at porsche as he left the house and then looked at vegas, "can we go home? I'm a little exhausted," vegas smiled and kissed him softly, "where else can we go?"
