Daily Life 

Vegas' POV 

"P! P'Pete said lunch is ready, come on down to eat now," Macau said and left, leaving the door to my study room open. I put away the book I was reading and stretched. It was a good book. Recently I am into reading books about humanity. Heard of Animal Farm? Yeah, wiki that book. I left a few more chapters to the end. I guess I can finish it in the evening after lunch, a little bit of gardening, running errands for Pete, taking care of my pet hedgehogs and exercising. I glanced at the walk clock and rough estimated. Yup, I should be able to finish the book tonight before bed. 

The smell of lunch reached my nose the moment I reached downstairs and turn to the dining table. Macau's already wolfing down his food when I got down but Pete is nowhere to be seen. I frowned. Pretty rude of Macau to eat before his own older brother or brother in law even got there. 

"Wow, rude of you to eat before your elders," I teased him in English as I took the head seat which Pete insisted I sat at. I tried resisting but I ended up making Pete sulk so I dropped the topic and sat where he wanted me to ever since. Macau continued stuffing his face with food. 

"Hwove a deat, gwota go!" 

"Huh?" I have no idea what he was saying with his mouth full. 

"He said he has a date, so he gotta go after lunch," Pete came out with a big bowl of soup for us. He took his seat to my right, opposite of Macau. I waited as Pete scooped Macau and I a bowl of soup each. It was a routine by now. To some people, you may say there should be equality in house chores but in this house, Pete explained that him serving me in the house was his way of loving me and taking care of me. In return, all I have to do is to be by his side and appreciate all he has done, with a smile. That was his request. I never knew Pete has this cuter side of him. I knew why he is behaving this way though. 

The phone in my pocket buzzed. I took it out to see what messages I got. It was a bank notification informing me money has come in to my account. I put it away. It's the end of the month again eh? 

Since I left the main house, I never spoke to either one of my so called cousins again. There isn't a need to. Plus I don't want to have anything to do with them either. Do I still hate them? Probably. They were the reason why my dad is dead. It doesn't change the fact that it was their dad killing mine over an issue which...to be honest, I don't even know what was the real reason or truth behind it any more. I just know, these people aren't my family anymore. The money that they sent me, doesn't mean anything. I never touched a cent of the money they sent. It was in an account set up under my name but I never bothered withdrew anything. I have my own money. Even if I don't, to an extra layer of hell I go every time I touch those dirty money. 

My real family is right here with Pete and Macau. They are the only ones who matter to me now. I vowed to myself, I will make sure Macau turns out well here. I will make sure he never take a step back to the dark world where I was before. The only lucky thing with Macau, he was pretty much sheltered since young from dad and myself. He grew up with rough men surrounding the house sure but he wasn't made aware of the extend of the dirty things we did. I guess that was the saving grace my dad did for Macau. He promised mom this before she died. 

Macau's graduated high school and was about start college soon. That was the other reason why we moved too. His college is nearby where we are staying at. My only wish for him right now is to see him graduate from college safely so he can leave the house and let me and Pete enjoy our love life in peace. Getting complains from your own brother for being too loud at nights...well...was a peculiar experience. 

Then there is Pete. The love of my life. The way we start our relationship, was also peculiar. I'll leave that story for another day. You just need to know Pete is my soul mate. This was the man who left his life behind for me. I wasn't even that religious but I really wondered what good I have done in the previous life to deserve him. I can no longer imagine my life without this man. 

It's been a few month since we started living in this house Pete bought for us. I wanted to pay for it but he also wouldn't let me. Said it was his way to make sure I stay with him forever. Told me to live in the constant fear of him kicking me out. Yeah, Pete has a weird sense of humor. Maybe because I was the one who made him cynical to a certain extent. But I knew he wrote my name into the house deed though. I saw the document before. 

Living with Pete and Macau here in this house, was home to me. A home where I can do what I want and be how I want. I haven't had the luxury to read all day without doing anything. The luxury of caring for my pets out in the open without needing to hide them and eating whatever I want with the one I want, helping Pete with chores how ever much I want. None of my exes dated me more than certain period of time. My background was that intimidating. I don't blame anyone ever. 

I took a sip of the delicious chicken soup Pete cooked for us. His soup has become my favorite recently. This is the taste of home cooked food I want for a long long time. 

Then our door bell rang. 

"Okay, gotta go! See ya! Wouldn't be back for dinner," Macau said in a rush, chewing his last bite of food from the plate and ran off. 

"Be back by 11pm, not 12am! You are not Cinderella and be careful now on the bike!" I yelled as I heard the door slammed. Teenagers. 

"Haha, he doesn't remember he has a brother now that he started this new boy from school," Pete said as he ate, scooping food for me and then himself.  

"It's a boy this time eh?" I laughed. 

"Well, he said he doesn't want girls fighting over him now so he prefers to date a boy. Saw him before, a pretty cute kid," 

"Like brother, like brother I see," 

"Huh?"

"Well, Macau, like his brother me, likes cute people. I have my own cute boy too, you," 

Pete laughed. 

That's right. This is the laugh I want to look at for a long long time too.
