The Enigma's Lover (PoohPavel AU 18+)

CHAPTER 21

TIN

"I want to kill someone, so bad." is the first sentence I told Ten the moment I entered his house.

He sighs and says, "Just sit down first."

Tonight is the family dinner and since last night, Vel has been avoiding me. When I tried to call him last night he said he is with his family and will call me after he is alone, but he ended up not calling me. This morning he apologized for not calling me because he overslept, but when I asked him to have lunch with me he refused and said he was planning to meet his nephew before he and his family came to our family dinner.

I can't believe this! Just yesterday morning I still woke up beside him, and had him in my arms. How did everything turn out to be like this in less than 24 hours? It's all thanks to that bastard Chen.

"I woke up this morning and it took me a few seconds to realize that Vel is not beside me and I have morning wood too. My life becomes this sucks thanks to Chen and I want nothing more than to kill him and chop him to pieces." I ended my rant to Ten with that sentence.

"I'm just thankful Michael is not here to hear you say that." said Ten.

"Where is he anyway?"

"He has a gig at some school reunion, I have to pick him up in an hour so either you are here to complain about your love life or talking about how we will frame another person for your crime, we have to do it fast."

I sigh loudly "I really can't concentrate on anything else right now, I need Vel beside me or I'll really kill somebody."

Ten narrowing his eyes and looking at me intently.

"What?"

"Who are you? Are you really the Tin I know?"

I grunting loudly realizing, even though Ten said that in a joking manner, I know he is right. I'm not my usual self right now. I never lose focus on important matters, I never barge inside Ten's house and talk loudly about murdering someone without checking if his clueless husband is home or not. I'm becoming reckless and I totally realize, it's not Chen's fault. It was Vel's fault, how can he make me become so dependent on him? I'm becoming a mess just because he's not beside me.

"Did you check where he is right now?" Ten ask.

"I did." I pulled out my phone and opened the tracking app "He's been home the whole day."

I put my phone on the table and it shows Vel's location exactly at his own home.

"Well, at least he's not lying."

"Is that even a good thing? He is clearly avoiding me, this is really annoying!"

Ten look at me with an amazed look then start laughing.

"Why are you laughing?"

He tried to stop his own laugh and said "Sorry, sorry, but really, I'm still amazed how Vel in less than a month can do things that I can't achieve in all these years. Here I say, you are done, you will never be able to live without him from now on."

I look at Ten with an annoyed face "And you think that's funny?"

"I'm not laughing because it's funny, I laugh because I'm happy, because Vel you become more and more like a human now."

I want to deny that but I also know he is not completely wrong. I start feeling things that I didn't feel before. This gut punch I keep feeling on my chest that I never felt before... Is it the feeling of what Ten called 'being human'?

He looks at me with an annoying smile on his face " I think, instead of trying to escape his suspicion, you should start thinking about telling him the truth. or about how he will react if he ever finds out about the real you. You are planning to build a family with him, you can't keep this thing hidden from him forever, not from a person as smart as him."
