Flowers And Death - VegasPete (English Version)

Chapter 20

Taiwan violently closes the door to his room. He had just returned home after seeing Pete and Vegas leave a clinic. It had been a few weeks since Taiwan had returned to Thailand and discovered that not only Kinn, but Vegas were in a relationship and it was not with him, but with two strangers who Taiwan now knew were people he considered to be the scum of society. He could not understand how Kinn and Vegas preferred those two people over him, who was someone from high society, besides being rich and handsome. Taiwan only thought that he could give them all the connections of very influential people from high society, something that those two people probably could not give to the mafia.

— That son of a bitch will see. — He grabs a vase and throws it at the giant mirror that was in the corner of the room, breaking it. — When I kill that worm, Vegas will see the mistake he made and come back to me, and then we can take the leadership of the first family, and we will become the most perfect couple in the mafia. — He laughs, looking at the shards of the broken mirror reflecting his distorted image.

— What are you doing? — Pete asks as he walks down the steps and sees Vegas typing quickly on his laptop.

— Just working. — Vegas answers without taking his eyes off the device. — Why did you wake up so early? It's still the middle of the night.

— I had a nightmare. — He lies down on the couch next to Vegas. — I couldn't go back to sleep... I think we missed you in bed. — Pete looks at Vegas as he strokes his almost three-month belly. — What's keeping the father of my children awake? — Pete tries to look at the laptop screen, but Vegas won't let him.

— It's nothing. — He closes the device and puts it aside. — It's just mafia stuff, nothing to worry about.

— Let's go back to bed, I can't sleep without your arms. — It's a whim.

That was one of the things that pregnancy had given the couple as a gift. Pete had become very whimsical, and he missed Vegas every time he left the house. Of course, Vegas never complained about this, since he loved this clingy Pete, Theerapanyakul would love it if this personality trait remained in Pete even after the pregnancy.

— I think I spoiled you too much. — Vegas puts the notebook on the coffee table, and then gets up with Pete. The two go up to the second floor and go straight to the bedroom. — I'll leave early tomorrow. — Vegas says, lying down on the bed and pulling Pete to lie on his chest.

— Okay. — He closes his eyes. — Are you coming back very late?

— I don't plan on taking long, it will depend on that idiot. — He caresses Pete's belly. — I still can't believe we're having twins. Have you stopped to think about names?

— Yes. — He opens his eyes and tilts his head, looking at Vegas. — I wanted something that followed your name and Macau's. Your family may not have been the best, but at least they had good ideas for names.

— What do you have in mind? — I thought about naming the first one Venice. Since he'll be your successor, he'll have to have a name similar to his father's, and the second one Japan. Just because my children are twins doesn't mean they have to have similar names.

— Venice and Japan... — Vegas pauses, as if savoring the names. — I like it. — She kisses the top of her boyfriend's head. — Our little Venice and Japan.

— I can't take it anymore. — Porsche complains for the hundredth time. — He doesn't even let me breathe in peace.

Pete rolls his eyes as he listens to the complaints of his best friend, almost an ex if he keeps tormenting him. After sleeping late, he wakes up and doesn't find Vegas next to him in bed. Pete gets up almost crying - he blames his pregnancy hormones - missing his future husband and father of his children, but there's nothing he can do. Who told him to date a mafia boss? It was at this very moment of fragility that Porsche called to complain about her husband. Pete couldn't take it anymore, he just wanted to suffer alone with a tub of ice cream... Vegas was really missing him.
