The Love That Is No More

The Secrets Just Keep Building

After that night Pha spent the rest of the week helping May settle into her new place, giving Yo the excuse that he was working late. It was currently the summer holidays and Yo had just been informed that he was offered a place at Oxford university to finish off his degree. He was given the news 2 days ago but had yet to bring it up with Pha as his husband had been busy lately. Once the weekend rolled around Pha was able to spend so much needed time with his lover. It was over dinner on Saturday when Yo brought up his exciting news.

"So, you know how I was working on a big project at school and, if it did well, I could be offered to finish my studies at Oxford?" Yo asked his husband while they were enjoying his meal. Pha nodded his head "Yeah. They would be a fool not to pick you. You are a very smart boy." Yo smiled lovingly at Pha as he shared the exciting news. "Well I got a call this week and they offered me a place at Oxford. I would be starting in the new school year." Pha was so happy for his husband, this was something he knew Yo had been dreaming about for months. "I'm so proud of you baby. You truly deserve this. I hope you told them you were going?" Pha spoke with a smile. "Of course, I did" Yo responded "I can't wait to get started." Pha moved closer to Yo and placed his hands onto Yo's as he looked lovingly into his eyes "I know you being over there would mean we won't be able to see each other as much but I love you baby and I won't hold you back from following your dreams. I will still be here waiting for you."

Yo fell in love with Pha even more, knowing his husband fully supported him. As it was halfway into the summer holidays already Yo had just over 1 month to get everything sorted before he heads over to his new school. During that month Pha spent as much time with Yo as possible as once Yo goes it would be a few months before they could see each other again, face to face. He hadn't forgotten about May, but he explained to her the truth as to why he has barely seen her. She understod, although it hurt a little, as Yo was his husband and she was just his baby momma. He did promise her that once Yo left, he would spend more time with her and let her know how important she was to him. That did make her a little happy, but she knew deep down Yo would always be his number 1 priority.

Alas the time had come for Yo to head off to the UK and start off on this new adventure. Pha would have come with Yo, to help him settle into his new place, but there was a massive problem at work that Pha had to get a handle on. Yo knew how important this job was to Pha, as this was his great grandfather's legacy, so he wasn't disappointed when his husband couldn't come with him. Pha did see his lover off at the airport and was sad to see the man he loved go but knew it was the right decision.

The first couple of weeks apart were a little hard on the couple, as the past few weeks they were barely apart, but as the time passed it became a little easier. Yo was struggling a little more than he led on because he missed being able to cuddle Pha at night, just like when Pha was on his 2-month business trip. Unlike Yo Pha wasn't having nearly as much difficulty as he, and within 2 weeks of Yo's departure, was doing quite well since he had a little baby momma named May to take care of him. Now that Yo was in a completely different country Pha was able to spend more and more time with May to the point where he practically lived with her.

Being CEO of a massive company had its perks, but he also needed to be careful because if the press got wind of this his whole life would be over. So, when ever Pha would visit May, which was almost every night, he would always go in disguise and had even gotten himself a cheap car so that he wouldn't seem too out of place whenever he dropped by. True to his word Pha made sure that May felt like she was important to him, treating her almost like a lover and not just a baby momma. She knew it wasn't real and that Pha's heart belonged to Yo but he was all she had so she held on to what little she could truly get.

The best thing he liked about May, apart from her carrying their baby, was how she had become so eager to let him take her. Without Yo around May had become his new play toy and most nights he would take her to bed until they were both too tired to continue. So far Pha had been able to keep up his life with May and still be seen as the loving husband to Yo. It helped that Yo was so swamped with his new workload, not to mention the time differences, that they barely had any time together.
