Last Night:An EarnPete Fanfic

12. Of Coffee and Confession

Pete

I was sitting on Pau's couch holding my second cup of coffee since we arrived at her luxurious condo at Bangkok Metro. That was after she dragged me here after we punched out of uni earlier. I even left my car at the university because my bestfriend kidnapped me.

I didn't know why, but I thought I was somehow getting addicted to coffee with all the fvcked up things that had been happening eversince I knew Earn.

I took a sip of my coffee and eventually saw Pau's judging look towards me.

"You still want more coffee? I still have a lot to spare. Let's see how many cups you can finish till  you get honest with me or you die with caffeine overdose, you decide."

Contrary to the sarcasm laced offer, Pau was smiling at me fondly.

I coughed.

"Your husband's not around?"

I tried to change the subject.

Pau was still on with her sweet smile. The kind of smile that would give you chills.

"Trying to change the subject, I see. So that confirms my hunch. You fucked that hot stud already!"

I explicitly choked on my coffee.  Why can't I ever hide anything from my psycho of a best friend?

"What the fvck, Pau! Do you have to really put it that way!?!"

She handed me some table napkins but didn't bother helping me.

"I was trying to be nice by asking you politely but you were the one acting like a complete bitch."

Did I ever warn you about how dirty Pau's mouth could be?

"What do you want me to say?"

Pau smirked. Indeed, she got me.

She sat on the couch opposite me.

"Tell me everything."

I heaved a sigh.

There was no turning back. It's either I tell her the truth or I live with her pestering until my ears fell off.

I told her about Trek and the bar incident, how Earn ended up in one of my classes,  as well as the one night stand. And the kiss at the faculty room. And how Earn was pestering me about being boyfriends.Basically all the details, except maybe the recent sexcapade I had with Earn again. And the position. Pau might have known that I only topped.

Pau was quiet. That was rare of her. What was she up to this time?

"So, what's next?"

I furrowed at her.

"What do you mean what's next?"

I asked her.

"I mean, what's next. Will you two officially date, or are you just gonna continue being fvck buddies?"

I gaped at Pau.

"What? Tae and I were sex friends for a year before we officially dated."

I rolled my eyes.

"I don't  need that picture of you and Tae fvcking Pau, please."

Pau shrugged.

"I'm just saying. You need to sort this one out. What do you plan on doing?"

I shrugged back.

"The plan is to get rid of that annoying kid and get on with my life."

Pau sat beside me.

"Are you seriously letting him go just like that?I mean, he's asked you to be boyfriends after you guys had sex, that must have count for something. Besides, the dude's hot. I could basically bake cookies on him."

I moved a little further from Pau. Her perusal was making me dizzy. Or was it all the coffee? And how can she even so casually admire other men, inside her marital house?

"Are you aware that your husband is listening to you, fantasizing about other men?"

Pau tsked.

"That's what he gets for choosing that stupid seminar over me."

Poor Tae. How did he ever choose this woman?

"Well, this talk is stupid too, so I'm leaving."

Pau stopped me off the couch.

"Stay! We haven't decided on what to do with Earn."

"Well, the plan was to completely turn him down."

"Are you serious, Pete? It's not everyday that you land yourself a hottie after being cheated on, you know?"

"Well, that's the point. I was just out from a shitty relationship, I can't have another one this early."

I saw Paul rolled her eyes.

"From what era did you come from? Why are you overanalyzing this stuff? Earn obviously likes you, and because you allowed him to molest you inside the faculty office of all places, it means you like him too. So what's your problem? Besides, these days, it's really not that easy to find a hot  bum to pound on you know."

I might have blinked abnormally fast at Pau over her last statement. She looked at me in return, questioning. Then I saw her eyes lit up and her mouth forming a big O.

"Shvt, Pete, don't tell me..."

Pau looked at me from head to toe.

"You let him top you!?!"

This was fvcked up! Why was Pau so observant?

I tried to look anywhere but Pau. When she suddenly moved close to me and caged my face in her hands. Forcing me to look at her.

"I need to formally meet this Earn guy Pete. I need to formally congratulate the brave one who toppled the mighty Pete Vachiravit."

I took her hands off me and walked towards the door, I needed to get out of the devil's lair before she could think of anymore ways to torture me.

"Hell, Pau! Stop being so mental about it!"

I heard Pau laughed as I was almost at the door.

"Shut up, you're starting to whine, uke characteristic number one!"

I gaped at the wall in front of me. My calvary just started.

"Jesus, Pau! Shut up!"

A witchy laugh roared again!

"You shut up, you're not even catholic, why drag Jesus here!?! Oh ,oh, blasphemous, yet another uke characteristic! You're done for my friend!"

Instead of dying right then and there  with annoyance and embarrassment, I took off and slammed the door shut.

It was so loud, but Pau's laughter was even louder.

Indeed. I was sooo done for!
