My 419 Nightmare

41. Just the Two of Us

The angel's heart is bursting in joy upon seeing his devil on the door, despite his initial pain of leaving. Waving his goodbye, he approach the devil, dropping a peck on the latter's cheek, gazing softly on the dumbfounded devil.

The devil slowly let out a small smile, returning the gaze lovingly, before taking hold of his angel's waist, steering him out of the restaurant.

"Aww... Our boss looks so smitten. They are so cute."

Rachel, a closet fujoushi, is already fangirling over her boss with his lover while the rest of crew are hooting cheers.

"But... I never knew boss is gay."

"Why? You want to try him?" Mew retort back on Mick, the only open gay crew in their restaurant.

"Why not?"

Some of the senior crew scoff at him with Mew and Rachel trying so hard to keep their laughter off.

"Mick, an uke can't be with an uke. Plus, I don't think you can handle boss. Haven't you seen how he works us to death when he's angry?"

"Ah.. perhaps you are right... Eh, wait... boss is a bot?"

The devil is driving his angel home, in silence. The angel is letting his hand being hold by the devil, but they haven't uttered a word since they left the restaurant. The only sound that surrounds the inner wall of the Audi is from the stereo, playing a soft jazzy song.

The angel slanted himself on the seat, turning his attention outside, out on the road, watching, no, counting the street light, while the devil drive steadily, playing with his angel's hand, that he drop on his lap.

No one knows what is running in their thought right now. None of them dare to speak first. They just enjoy the silence, wishing...

Well, they wish for a lot of things.

Kit's POV

"I've told them I'm leaving for a holiday."

I manage to stop him and make him turn around.

We have arrived at his villa. I blurt this out just moment before we enters the door, on the stairs.

"You are leaving?"

I can hear his voice shake as he asks me this.

Yes, I'm leaving.

"You ask me to, right?"

I take a step further, closing in on him. My right hand is still in his grasp, so I palm his cheek with my left.

"We are going for our holiday, right? I promise you to leave the restaurant for a bit and go with you. We can go now."

My heart hurt when I saw a flash of happiness on his eyes. I know he's delighted when I finally decided to accommodate him.

"Well, not now. I still need to hand over my restaurant to Mew. We can leave in next two weeks. How's that?"

All of the sudden he pulls me, crushing toward his body, with his arms tightens around me.

"Thanks you, my angel. Thanks you."

I try so hard not to let my tears fall. Hiding my face on the crook of his neck, inhaling his calming scent, I hold him back, grasping this few moment of happiness that I have left with him.

Kitty... what are you planning now?

Just let me be. Let me have this.

Yeah, I'm planning to leave in the next two weeks. But I'm planning to leave with him. I realised that the island can't be ready as fast as I want. They would need at least a month to furnish everything up.
