THIRTEEN

DAYS PASSED I saw how Vegas being troubled. It started when he received the package. But still, I didn't know what's inside of that package.

I sighed and slumped myself in the sofa.

Right now, it's already 11:45 a.m. and we are in the house. Vegas is in his office, checking important documents. I just brought his lunch to him. He's too busy to stand up in his chair.

"I am bored, P'Pete." Macau grumbled and wilted in the sofa.

"Can we go again in the amusement park?" He asked.

"You have school, Macau." I replied and raffles his hair.

"I don't want to go to school anymore, P'Pete." He complained.

I shook my head. This kid is like his brother, so stubborn.

"By the way, where's Phi? I haven't seen him since morning." He said.

"He's in his office because there's a lot of paperworks for him."

"I see. I guess watching series is what we could do today..." He snorted and get the remote control.

"What should we watch, P'Pete?" He asked me while scanning the channel.

"Have you watched Snowdrop?" I asked him.

"Haven't heard that, Phi. Is it a good drama?"

I nodded at him while grinning because I knew what will happened in the ending.

"Okay, le--"

"AI PETE! WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?" I quickly stood up when I heard the voice of Khun No.

"What brother Tankhun doing here, Phi?" Macau confusely asked me.

I shrugged my shoulder because neither I don't know.

"Pete, there you are!" Khun No yelled and hugged me.

I looked at his back and saw Arm, Pol, Porsche and Khun Kinn.

"What are you doing here, Khun No?" I asked him.

"Why? We can't visit you!?" He hissed.

"No..no.. that's not what I mean, Khun No."

"Hey, little shit. Where's you bastard brother?" Khun No asked Macau.

"Don't talk to me, brother!" Macau fizzled.

"What!? I am talking to you nicely, this little shit." Master Tankhun slapped Macau's shoulder.

"Nicely? That word and you shouldn't be used in the same sentence." Macau answered.

What the heck? They are starting to fight again.

"Khun No, stop it, please. Your older than Khun Macau.." Arm told our master.

"I don't care! This little shit is getting on my nerves." Khun No squealed and crossed his arms.

I walked near at Porsche, "Why the main family is here, Porsche?" I asked him.

He looked at me, "That bastard," pointing to Khun No, "forced us because he wanted to go here." Porsche replied.

"My brother wanted Vegas to get annoyed." Khun Kinn added.

"By the way, how are you and Vegas? Did you solve your misunderstanding?" Porsche asked.

"We're okay..." I said and I felt that my cheeks turned crimson red when I remembered what happened on Vegas and I.

"That's good to hear. At least, you already have a new family even though Vegas is such a sly bastard." Porsche said and tapped my shoulder.

"Where's Vegas, Pete?" Khun Kinn asked me.

"In his office, Khun Kinn." I answered.

The young master nodded at me, "I'll just go there because I need to discuss something to him.." Khun Kinn said and kissed Porsche's cheeks before he left.

"How are you here? Is Vegas treating you right?" Porsche questioned me.

I nodded at him, "Yeah. I'm good here. I am happy to take care of Vegas and Macau." I answered.

He smiled at me, "That's obvious. You look blooming. Does Vegas fuck you everyday?"

My mouth gapped at what Porsche said. This fucktard!

"Fuck you, Porsche!" I hissed, showing my middle finger at him.

"No thanks. I have Kinn to fuck my ass." I grimaced in what he said.

"Brazen bastard." I muttered.

We both laughed to each other, "I miss this." I heard him whispered.

"Should I say I miss you too?" I mocked at him.

He whacked my head and laughed at me.

I shook my head and looked at him, "Porsche.."

"What?"

"How will you know if your partner is keeping a secret from you?" I asked him, because I think he already experienced it with Khun Kinn.

"Why did you asked that? I know everything about Kinn because if not, I will bury him alive."  He said to me. "Is Vegas keeping a secret from you?"" Porsche asked.

I nodded at him, "I think Vegas was keeping a secret from me.." I started.

Porsche looked at me, "What do you mean by that?"

"I noticed this when he received a package last week. After that, I always saw him lost in his thoughts...I wanted to ask him about it but I think he's not ready to share it with me..." I told him and heaved a sigh.

"Okay...Just wait for him to open up for you.. You know Vegas, he's reserved because he doesn't have trust to anyone before and he's independent." Porsche said.

Independent my ass. He's such a baby to me!

"I do hope that he will open up to me eventually, because I am his partner and I will be always here for him." I said as I remember Vegas' face.

"You're fucking gross, Pete." Porsche laughed at me.

I glared at him and slapped his arm. This fucktard!

"Hey, two assholes! Get your ass here, we are going to play UNO." Khun No said as he showed us the cards.

"Let's play with that sick bastard, Pete, before he berserk." Porsche said.

I shook my head and we walked near at Khun No. They are sitting on the floor while distributing the cards.

"I'm out." Macau said and about to stand up but..

"Try to stand up, Macau.." Khun No warned him, "I will fucking slap you with all of these cards."

I scratched my head, "Khun No..stop bullying Macau.." I said to him.

He just scoffed at me and continue distributing the cards.

"Let's start!" He fixed his cards, "I'll start first." He said and dropped a yellow card.

"I don't know how to play this, brother." Macau snorted.

Khun No smacked Macau's head, "Idiot. C'mon! I will teach you." Khun No said and get Macau's cards.

"Ai' Pol! Why Macau's cards full of plus 4 and 2!?" Khun No yelped and slapped Pol's arm.

"Ouch, Khun No. I don't know, you're the one who distributed it." Pol retaliated.

"Let's exchange cards, Macau. You will lose if you use this cards." We all shook our heads when we heard Khun No.

"Really? Okay!" Macau said ang gave his cards to young master.

My boss is really crazy bastard.

Khun No taught the mechanics to Macau after that we started playing.

"Plus 4 for you, Pol" Porsche said and put down the plus 4 card.

Pol smiled and put down his plus 2 card, "Well, I have alas! Plus 6 for you Khun No!"

"Fuck you, Pol! I will tell Erika to not give you food!" Khun No snorted but put down his card.

He laughed, "Plus 10 for you, little shit."

"What am I going to do, brother? Why there's a plus plus?" Macau asked confused.

"I don't care! Here's your additional 10 cards!" Khun No slapped the cards in Macau's face and laughed hysterically.

"What the hell, brother!?" Macau said, annoyed. He took his cards and throw it back to Khun No.

"Macau!" Khun No yelled when the cards hit his face.

Porsche and I shook our heads when Khun No throw again the cards to Macau and the latter will not back out, he tossed back the cards to Khun No and get our cards to fired again to Khun No.

"Khun No..Khun Macau.. stop fighting!" Arm said while blocking Khun No.

"What the hell? I thought we are playing UNO?" Porsche asked me.

I just shrugged, "What with their blood, Porsche? They are all crazy!" I muttered and help Pol and Arm to stop the two Theerapanyakuls.

"Macau.." I called him. He looked at me, "You can go to your room. Please, stop fighting..." I said to him and smiled.

He calmed down, "Okay, Phi. I'll just go upstairs. Call me when this crazy brother already left." He scoffed and walked upstairs.

I sighed, "Tankhun if you keep doing that every time we will go here, Vegas will not allowed us to visit Pete." Porsche said while frowning.

"Macau's fault." Khun No replied and crossed his arms.

"We're going, Pete. I will go back here or visit us in the mansion!" Khun No said and walked away. Pol and Arm immediately followed our boss.

Porsche tapped my shoulder, "We'll go ahead. Can you call Kinn for me, Pete?" Porsche requested.

"Of course.." I answered and walked upstairs to go in Vegas' office.

When I am already in front of Vegas' office and about to enter, "I don't know Kinn. I am confused as of the moment..." I heard Vegas' voice.

"Did you talk to Dad about that?" Khun Kinn's voice.

"Yeah. He's not answering and told me not to mind that...but how?" I heard the doubts in Vegas' voice..

"I don't want something happen to my family...to Macau and Pete..."

"Don't worry, I'll help you with their security and I will talk to Dad about that..." Khun Kinn said.

"I don't know what to do anymore...I just can't believed that it could be about her...my mother..." Vegas said.

I stepped away, so that package was about their mother?

"Hey, Pete. Why are you so slow calling Kinn?" I startled when Porsche showed at my back.

I hushed Porsche and pulled him away from Vegas office, "They are talking about the package, Porsche."

He bit his lips and looked at me, "What about the package?" He asked.

"It's about their mother." I answered.

"What? Their mother? I thought she's already dead when they are still young?"

"I don't know, Porsche." I said, bothered because of what I heard.

He tapped my shoulder, "Fix yourself.." He said.

We heard the door opened and saw Khun Kinn and Vegas went out..

"Pete..."

"Porsche..."

We both glanced at them and smiled, "Kinn, let's go home. Khun No is acting crazy again." Porsche said and walked towards Khun Kinn.

"Vegas..Pete... we'll go ahead." Khun Kinn said and guided Porsche downstairs.

I looked at Vegas and saw how his eyes tired...I went near at him, "Are you okay?" I asked him.

He tiredly smiled at me, "Yeah, I'm okay because you're here..." He muttered and hugged me.

"I love you, Pete..." I heard him whispered.

I gently rubbed his back, "I love you, Vegas. You know that I am always here, right? You can open up to me..." I uttered to him and kissed his forehead.

IT'S ALREADY 10 in the evening and Vegas was still not here in my room. He's still in his office.I sighed and stared at the ceiling.

I missed him. I miss my Vegas...

I turned sideway and hugged Vegas' pillow. I'm not used to that he's not here with me, nuzzling my neck.

I know that he's having a hard time but he don't want to share it because he don't want me to think about it...But, I am stress thinking that he's bothered and tired...

This past few days, he doesn't have a proper rest because of his problems...I really want to help him...

I sighed and sat down in my bed, "I'll go to his office."

I quickly wore my slippers and went out to my room.

"It's time to sleep and yet he's not in our room?" I tsked and walked to his office.

I opened the door and was about to nagged at him but I stopped when I saw him sleeping in his table.

I walked towards to him silently...He's really tired...

I bend down and stared at his face, "So handsome, love.." I muttered and smiled.

He's beauty is ethereal. From his skin that shows that his from a wealthy clan...his nose and eyes that you will have hard time to not notice... and his pinkish lips, I smiled when I remember that I have a chance to kiss those luscious lips.

"I'm glad that you are mine..." I whispered and removed the hairs that hinder me to look at his face.

"Are you done praising me in your head, love?" I was surprised when I heard Vegas spoke.

He opened his eyes and stared at me, "I know I am handsome.." He laughed at me and sit straightly.

I licked my lips and stood up, "Why are you sleeping here, Vegas?" I asked him.

"Missed me?" He raised his eyebrow at me.

"Why would I?" I snorted.

"Okay, I will act that I believed you.." He said and pulled me to sat on his lap.

"I'm sorry. I don't have time for you right now because I have too much in my plate.." He said and hugged me.

He leaned his head on my chest and sighed, "What's our problem, hmm? You can talk to me..." I said and caged him to my arms.

"It's...about my mother..." He uttered.

"What about your mother?" I asked, urging him to talk more.

He opened his drawer and get a black box there..."Open it.." He said.

I opened the box and saw a lot of pictures, "Is this you and Macau?" I asked him.

He nodded. I keep browsing the pictures and I stopped when I saw a familiar face..

"Who's this, Vegas? Do you know her?" I asked him while staring at the picture because I felt like I saw her somewhere.

I tilted my head, trying to remember where I saw this woman...

Wait? Is she the woman in the amusement park? I stared closely at the picture and I am fucking right.

She's the woman who talked to me at the amusement park.

"Yeah..That's our mother..." He replied.

My eyes got widen when I heard Vegas' reply, "W-what?"

"Yeah..that's our mother but she's dead already."

No way. Is there a possibility that the one I talked to was a ghost!?

I gasped and slapped myself, "Hey. Why are you hurting yourself!?" Vegas hissed.

You're crazy, Pete.

"But..Vegas...I think I saw your mother.." I reluctantly told him.

"What?"

I looked at him, "I swear, Vegas. I saw and talked to your mother when we were in the amusement park." I told him.

He looked at me confused. Well, even I, confused of what's happening.

"What are you talking about, Pete? Our mother is dead when we are young." He said.

"Vegas, I'm telling you the truth. I just talked to the woman in the picture. She told me to take care of you and Macau." I stated and looked at him.

"What the hell? It's absurd." He uttered, can't believed in what I am saying.

But, I'm sure. I saw it with my own eyes, I talked to her and she talked to me.

"Who told you that your mother was dead?" I asked him, trying to figure it out our problem.

"My dad..." He answered.

"Is it possible that your dad lied to you?" I wondered. "Because, I talked to your mother Vegas...and it seems that she's not dead like what you're saying..."

"I don't know, Pete..." He weakly said and buried his face on my chest.

"You need to talk to Khun Korn.." I said. "He's the one who can answer that..."

But why his father would lied to them about their mother?
