Chapter 8

~To Be Together -2~

"I like you, Nu."

New's breath was to his throat. He blinked a few times, thinking it was a dream, but Zee's voice brought him back to reality.

"Please, Nu. Tell me where you are. I want to see you." Zee didn't care if he sounded desperate. He needed to see New.

"I'll explain everything to you. Please." New smiled into the phone and told Zee where he was.

It didn't take long until the headlights of Zee's car came into view. He turned off his car and stepped out. His long coat blew behind him as he took long strides to close the gap between him and New. New stood by the bench, his eyes glued to the man that was quickly approaching him.

"I'm so sorry." Zee breathed into New as he engulfed the other into his arms. Zee held the back of New's head as his other hand rested on New's tiny waist.

New shook his head as his fingers gripped Zee's coat.

"What I did, please know that I never meant to hurt you. I received some news, and I was a little apprehensive. Please do not take it to heart." Zee drew back from New to look at the younger's face. New's eyes glistened, and Zee's fell even more.

"I know my confession might have confused you, but that's how I feel about you, Nu. I was going to do it at the restaurant after dinner, but I can't hold it anymore. I was scared that I might've messed it up after what happened." Zee held New's gaze while conveying his feelings in hopes that the younger understood them. His voice faulted as he fought back tears. He had planned a huge romantic gesture with flowers and fireworks, but as he stared down into the youngers eyes, his heart was soring. Those eyes didn't lie. They held so much emotion that it was overwhelming, Zee.

"I like you, Nu, and I would like to pursue you."

(New's POV)

My emotions have failed me once more. My heart is pounding, and my hands move on their own. I reach up and pull him down and capture his lips. They are soft, and I melt into them. His tongue is quick, intrusively begging me to let him in. I openly oblige and shamelessly offer mine, too.

He pulls me closer, and it's as if our hearts beat as one. I feel his hand work their way from my nape down to my back. My head is no longer foggy, and the knot in my stomach has turned into a butterfly sanctuary. I start to feel dizzy as I am oxygen deprived.

I push him a little to catch my breath.

"I can't breathe." I weakly squeak out.

He rests his forehead on mine, eyes still closed as his chest rises and falls, trying to catch his breath.

"Is this your answer to my confession?" P'Zee finally opens his eyes as he asks me.

I smile at him. His charm unravels me, and I nod my head.

"I thought that you might've been upset or annoyed at me for leaving. I'm sorry." I say, gazing up to him.

His expression quickly turns into a frown.

Did I upset him with what I said?

"Nu. I could never be upset or be annoyed by you. You have every right to be upset with me for what happened. It is I who needs your forgiveness." I smile at his response and nod my head, indicating that I have indeed forgiven him.

"Nu. Could we go back to my hotel room so we could talk properly? I'm also worried that you might catch a cold out here."

(End of New's POV)

After a quick phone call home, New bid Porche farewell and got into Zee's car. They reach the hotel and make their way up to Zee's room. Zee grabs his key card and opens the door. New enters first, taking his shoes off and making his way into the lounge room.

Unbeknownst to them, someone was following their every move.

*meanwhile, at a room from the hotel across from theirs*

"I see you finally have someone.

Mark my words, Zee Pruck. I will make you suffer."
