SWEET

CHAPTER 14

The sun shone bright through the curtains and glowed on Vegas’ face. He had light dark circles under his eyes. He had had trouble sleeping because he was stressed out. Even though Kim had lifted some of it, he was still feeling a bit stressed.

His dad had disowned him, took the company from him and the house, claiming that they were all bought with his money. Vegas was stressed that at this rate, he would soon go broke and would have trouble taking care of Kim and Porchay in the future.He didn’t want to depend on any of them. He wanted them to completely depend on him . He didn’t want them to view him as a useless person who only relies on his dad.

“Vegas...Good morning,” a soft voice on his side from Porchay asked. Porchay had his arm around Vegas, hugging him like a teddy bear.Kim, on the other side, slept soundly like a log , his arm around Vegas. So Vegas slept between them, and each wrapped an arm around him.

“Are you okay? You look stressed,” Porchay caressed Vegas’ cheek and brushed his hair off his face.

Vegas closed his eyes,inhaling Porchay’s scent from his hand.

“I missed you, Chay,”  Vegas muttered under his breath.

Porchay didn’t believe him but pretended to. Vegas was being too obvious.

“You have to punish Kim, he was rough on me yesterday,” Porchay complained, only to be met by a chuckle.

“ I already did, “ Vegas pointed, allowing Porchay to look at Kim.

“Shiiaa! Vegas, are you sure he’s still alive? Why did you bite him so much?”

Vegas pouted,pointing at his lip and shoulder, “Look, he bit me too. So I bit him back.”

“So noisy,” Kim grumbled in his sleep.
Vegas got up from the bed and went to freshen up.

Porchay moved next to Kim, cuddling him and softly kissing his neck. Kim intertwined their fingers in response and went back to sleep.

Vegas smiled at their cuteness, kissed them and left for..work?

“I know I’m not your boss but take care of Kim and Porchay,” Vegas said to Big, who bowed in response.

“Porsche, come on” Kinn whispered, taking Porsche’s hand in his.

“Not in the office Kinn. Anyone could walk in on us,” Porsche replied, looking away.

“Then let’s just make out then,” Kinn decided and captured Porsche’s lips in his.  Porsche pulled him closer by his neck and returned the kiss with the same energy.

Kinn pulled him closer by his waist as Porsche unbuttoned his shirt. They pulled apart to breathe and then Kinn kissed his neck, Porsche let out a groan.

The door flew open and Kim and Porchay stepped in. “ Omg, get a room,” Kim remarked, as he took Porchay’s hand in his.

“Don’t touch my brother,” Porsche strode and snatched Porchay from Kim.

Kim needed to talk to Kinn concerning Vegas. “I haven’t seen him for a while,,, but...why are you guys dressed like that?” Kinn asked, wondering why some two people were wearing scarves and full sleeved clothes at noon in the middle of summer.

“Porchay, take it off! You look so old fashioned ,” Porchay tried to stop Porsche from ripping off his scarf but it was too late. Kim’s bite mark and hickeys were exposed and Porsche’s eyes widened in shock.

“Hia...” Porchay’s cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.

Without warning, he stripped off Kim’s scarf, and there were more bite marks,hickeys and a mark left when he was choked.

“Porchay...Are you freaking dogs? Who’s that dog that bit you? Vegas? I swear I’ll kill him---”

“ Actually, Hia, We’re here looking for him. Do you know where he is?”

“Get out, he’s not here. I don’t know where he is “

Porsche pushed Kim and Porchay outside, locking the door.

“I want to bite you too---” Kinn started but Porsche cut him off, “Aish! Piss off.”

“Then bite me ,” Kinn tried again, but Porsche had already left.

“How did I get such a sassy wife?” Kinn sat in his chair and started analysing documents.

****************************************
It was nighttime, and Vegas still hadn’t returned home. He sat at a bar, drowning his sorrows in alcohol and cigarettes.

“I know Chay won’t mind if you are broke, “ Macau suddenly chipped, out of nowhere, startling Vegas.

“Where did you come from?”

“Au, I’m like a fly. Whenever you go, I’ll be there. Always hia.”

Macau was honestly worried about his brother. Even if their father threw Vegas out, he still loved him because he technically raised him after their mother passed away. Vegas was like his mom and dad because their father rarely came home.

He wasn’t even sure if his father remembered him. They barely talked since he was like...10?

“Cau,” Vegas started, in a raspy voice, “I’m worried about Kim and Chay’s future. I don’t want them to work.I want them to splurge in my wealth for the rest of their lives and have nothing to worry about.”

Macau tilted his head, searching his brother’s eyes. “Omg, look at that. You’re so in love, you freaking simp.”

Vegas’ face twisted into a faint smile, understanding that Macau was trying to lift his mood. “Enough Cau.”

“Alright. I’ll tell you what? I know Chay like the palm of my hand. He won’t want you to stress about this. He wants to study and make money on his own. And Kim, he’s already running a business and he’s an artist. See? There’s really nothing to worry about, Vegas.”

“Thanks Cau, but still---”

“Hoyy! Okay. How about we do this? I’ll loan you a billion baht and you start your own busi—”

“No, Cau. I can’t use your money”

“But you gave it to me. Just consider it my gratitude for raising me”

“No, absolutely not. If I gave it to you, I can’t take it back.”

Macau tried to convince him to no avail. But he wasn’t ready to give up.

“Then just sell your little island,” Macau suddenly suggested, Vegas shot him a glare.

“You can’t tell anyone about that island. It’s a surprise wedding gift.... I want to marry Kim and Porchay and live with them in that island.”

“Oh,” was all Macau could utter.

“I still have my savings tho,”

“How much?”

“Five billion,” Vegas gulped all the remaining liquid in his glass.

“Five bil--- You’ve got to be kidding me hia. That’s a lot. I don’t even know why I’m worried about you. What a waste of my sympathy.” Vegas chuckled, as he took out his phone.

“But you just gave me an idea. Thanks bro.”

Macau scoffed and stood, turning to leave.

“Wegas?”

Both Vegas and Macau turned to the source of the voice, and their eyes widened in shock.

“Pete?”

Not far from them, Pete stood, an expression of excitement plastered on his face.

"I missed you, Wegas."
