Chapter 23 - Long Distance

Hello, Polcas. It's been months since the last update and I wanted to apologize for the untimely hiatus. A loooooot, I'm not even exaggerating things but really a loooooot of things happened in a short period of time that are hard to just forget and move one. Though I'm still at Wattpad only readding but my head is out of ideas. Wattpad is like a dream but once it's done then you're back to reality. And reality hurts. Sooo now, I'm back... not fully tho... but trying to cope things up and keep moving forward. Enjoy!!!

Newwiee's day is just like a blank paper. It has been a week since Tay left the resort. It has been a week with only voice and video call as their mode of communication. It has been a week that he's missing Tay. What a boring day.

His parents are back. He planned on telling them about him and Tay but still needs to ask his boyfriend about it. This decision concerns the both of them. They'll be having a video call any moment now. He's just waiting for Tay to call.

As his phone rings, he excitedly answered the call. He crossed his legs and sits comfortably on his bed. He smiled sweetly as soon as he saw Tay's face on his phone screen. He really missed him.

"P'Tay~" Calling the guy from the phone who suddenly disappeared. He waited for a few seconds and Tay's face is once again shown.

"Just a minute, New," Tay said and once again he disappeared from the screen.

New frowned. He waited for Tay for a while. It's the only time that they get to talk everyday as they're both busy during the day.

The minute promised passed and there's still no Tay. He positioned his phone to stand on the headboard and lay down. Not leaving his sight on the screen, knowing that any moment Tay will show up.

A minute turned minutes. His eyes are starting to feel heavy but he fights it wanting to talk to his boyfriend.

Bathroom break, he thought to himself. Seems like Tay is taking his time with whatever he's doing.

He smiled as he can already see Tay's face and again laydown facing his phone.

"P'~" Calling the attention on his boyfriend.

"Aww, babe. Where'd you been?" Tay asked smiling with a wrinkled eyebrow asking his whereabouts.

"Bathroom break, P'."

"Okay."

He waited for his next words but nothing follows.

"Still busy?"

"Yeah. Gonna have a video conference later."

"But it's already late," he pouted.

"Not when it's from another time frame. But it's only a confirmation for the arrival of goods." Tay explained not looking at him but with the papers in front of him. Tay's phone might also be in a standee as both of his hands are holding pieces of papers.

"I miss you, P'Tay," he admitted. He's not shy saying these words because it's the truth. And it also gets the attention of the guy on the screen.

"I miss you too, sweetheart. But I'm physically needed here. I'll make it up to you when I get back. Okay?"

He just nodded but a pouting lip is slowly emerging on his face. Unable to even touch him. So this is what it feels like being in a long distance relationship. It's unsatisfying. You can only look and talk.

New's in daze as thinking too hard how he will start to tell Tay about telling his parent about their relationship. Unable to hear that Tay has been calling him multiple times.
