A Bittersweet Valentine

PreeBo

"Pree...shall we go out for dinner tonight please?" Rambo asks, nervously anticipating the answer.

"No, I'm busy tonight. Since it's Valentine, I promised to take him out on a date,"Pree answers calmly, never looking up from his phone.

Rambo feels a sharp ache in his heart. He feels his tears threatening to fall but quickly blinks them away and swallows to control his voice tone.

He deserves it. After all the lies and pain he caused Pree, it's a miracle Pree still agrees to see Rambo. But their relationship is no longer the same. When Rambo begged Pree to stay, Pree set a condition. That Rambo is no longer Pree's priorities and Pree is allowed to see and date other people until Pree found someone he wants to commit to.

Rambo accepted because he wants time. Time to win Pree back. Win back Pree who has now given up trusting Rambo.

Rambo knows he deserves the cold treatment. Almost as much as he loves Pree, Pree is just someone who will never change his mind after it's set.

So now, he can only hope and wait that one day, Pree will look at him like the old days.

He is scared. But he knows better than to beg and whine anymore. No, that will only irk Pree more and will push Pree away faster.

Gripping his fists, Rambo takes a deep breath and smiles sadly, even though Pree is not looking at him.

"It's...ok. Perhaps some other time then...," Rambo says timidly and takes his seat beside Pree, pretending to work on his report. He longs to inch closer, to snuggle those broad shoulders but he is afraid Pree will push him away. It hurts to not be wanted. It hurts when Pree laughs and smiles but those are no longer meant for him. It hurts whenever Pree touches his body, his mouth never utter a single word of affection for Rambo.

"I'm going," and before Rambo could say anything else, Pree leaves the apartment.

Rambo breaks down the moment the door closes.

It's a little pass midnight. Rambo wakes with a jolt. The front door opens. Tiredly, Rambo gets up from the couch he cried to sleep in. He is surprised to see Pree returning. Pree stares at him and Rambo looks away, knowing his eyes are swollen, his nose's red and face stained with dry tears. He didn't dare say anything less his nasal voice gives him away, not that Pree will care anyway.

"I drank a little too much after sending him home. Not in the mood to drive. I'll stay the night," Pree says as he heads to Rambo's room. Not the guest room.

Rambo feels his heart aches again. It is that familiar feeling of hope. Pree is willing to stay the night after so long.

Rambo doesn't know what will happen tomorrow but now, at least he has time to spend with Pree. He decides to be grateful as he walks into the bedroom to prepare extra clothes for Pree to change into.

Maybe they might have a chance to start all over again. Even if that remains a hope.

"Pop wifey....I LOVE YOU NA!!," Oat whines and drags Pop to sit on his lap.

"Hey you drunkard, let go of me," Pop struggles to get up but a drunk Oat is stronger.

"DO YOU LOVE ME? SAY YOU LOVE ME? YOU LOVE ME RIGHT? POP LOVES OAT!" Oat shouts and then promptly blacks out.

"Oat! Oh my gosh! OAT!" Pop shakes the loudly snoring idiot. Pop stares at the sleeping drunkard. He tries to resist but in the end, he turns and quickly place a kiss on Oat's cheek.

"Only today," Pop mumbles to himself and left to get towels to clean Oat.

Oat smiles. He is very happy.
