The Perfect Fit

08 - Topped With Fresh Whipped Cream

My Engineer - Ram x King x Vera - The Perfect Fit - Part 08 - Topped With Fresh Whipped Cream

Vera was stopped short by King asking in a barely audible voice, "How about N'Duen? Is he dating one of you?"

King thought it was a valid question since he asked about Bon, why can't he do the same in regards to Duen? Though he was unsure as to why he cares and how come it felt so good to blurt that question out. He stared at the grassy ground, a poking feeling in his chest, soreness? Sting? "I'm asking as your P'! Because if one of you are, P' will beat up Bon for you! And make him back off!"

Ram was quite surprised, P'King was trying to find out more about Duen, that look, he's seen it on so many exes before, jealousy. He thought back, annoyance was all that he had felt, yet, with P'King, it's somewhat precious. An unnoticeable smile quickly appeared then disappeared as he simply responded, "Friends, just met, no."

Vera was stunned silly, Ram never, ever answers those types of questions. It always made his exes crazy that he didn't care enough to explain yet this time, he volunteered the information.

He's about 98% sure now.

He looked towards King, priceless reactions, a little shy, playing with imaginary lint on his shirt pretending it's the most interesting thing on Earth, head down to avoid his eyes though peeking up every so often to see if he can get confirmation from him that what Ram said is true.

"Saved him a few days ago from some bullies, just friends. Besides, I already told P'King who we want to flirt with." Vera tossed in a wink for added effect. "So, now, back on to the topic of dinner." He flashed his pearly whites, "What do you say, P'King?"

King felt relieved for some odd reason, that dull ache in his chest, now gone, a little taste of sweetness. He happily smiled and responded, "That's right, I said I'd take you two to dinner! But I have to water my ki...plants first. I live around here so I'll go back first and then meet you guys at a restaurant around here, okay?"

Vera didn't know what he did in his past life to make everything work out so flawlessly, their P'King's condo is close by and he needs to go home first!!! "We can cook at your place! That way you can water your plants while we cook, then we can comfortably eat and you get to taste some fusion Australian Thai food!" He thought it would take at least a week before they would be able to infiltrate The Beauty's abode but the chance just presented itself! How can he pass up a gift from the heavens!

Ram rolled his eyes again, this brother of his, how many days has he known P'King and he's already trying to get an invite to his condo...although...he's kind of curious how his home looks...

King thought about it but the nagging voices of Bon, Mek and Boss loomed telling him that he really hadn't known these N's for long, Vera for a few days and Ram, he just met today, that he shouldn't invite people who he doesn't know well into his home.

One would think Vera would be the shameless one to tempt King with food but it was the other twin, "Green chicken curry pie."

They just had lunch and the name sounds a little weird, green chicken, but the thought of homemade curry made King's mouth water, he involuntarily swallowed.

Vera was quite surprised, Ram didn't reprimand him, instead, he helped out!

KO!

100%!

Forget dinner time, he knew his brother has already caved. Now, he'll have to bring his A-Game, he can't let his Big Bro down!

Vera used luring culinary words and even pulled out food porn to try to get King to agree, "And lamingtons! Rich, sweet, melt in your mouth goodness," as he quickly pulled up a picture of the soft buttery sponge cake coated with chocolate icing and desiccated coconut topped with fresh whipped cream.
