Vegas's P.O.V:
I was watching TV when Kinn walked into the apartment.
"Oh...You're back? I thought you'd be gone for another week" Kinn said.
"My work finished early" I said.
He nodded.
"Do you know Porsche's phone number?" He asked.
"Why would I know that?" I asked.
"Oh come on help me at least once will you?" He asked.
"Fine fine I don't have it but I can get it" I said.
"Really? Thanks" He said smiling.
"Don't get your hopes up it's not for free" I said.
"What do you want in return?" He asked.
"Your credit card for the weekend" I said.
"Vegas...You have one too" He said as in a matter of fact.
"I know that but why should I use my money to buy things for myself when some other idiot can pay instead?" I asked.
Then raised my hand to him.
"Give me the card and I'll get you Porsche's phone number" I said.
He begrudgingly handed over his card.
"Alright then...Wait until tomorrow and I'll get you the number for sure" I said.
He stood up and left the room.
I waited until he was in the bathroom then took out my phone and texted Pete asking him to meet me tomorrow.
Pete's P.O.V:
I was playing a game on my phone when it suddenly buzzed with a notification I checked it and screamed in panic then dropped the phone to the floor.
SHIYA...He wasn't kidding?
Why would he want to meet tomorrow though?
Should I just bail?
Wait...How am I supposed to even bail?
The phone buzzed again with another message.
Then the doorbell rang.
I whipped my head to the direction of the door in panic.
"Are you a criminal?" I asked.
No answer.
"Hey...No one is home right now go away" I said.
The doorbell rang again.
I went to look through the peephole and saw Vegas standing on the other side of the door.
I counted to three in my head then opened the first lock.
"What's wrong?" I asked chuckling awkwardly.
"Nothing it's just that some of my clothes fell into your balcony" He said.
"And?" I asked.
"And I'm here to get them?" He said as in a matter of fact.
"Oh yeah...Right that" I said chuckling awkwardly.
Then closed the door and went to get the clothes from the balcony.
I picked up two unmatched socks a tank top and...
Oh my god...
I almost choked on air when I grabbed the last stray piece of clothes which was a pair of black Calvin Klein briefs.
I grabbed the clothes and walked over to the door then opened it and gave him his stuff.
"Thanks" He said as he took them from my hands.
Then started checking them out to see if there was anything missing.
He was done then looked up at me again.
"So why aren't you replying to my texts?" He asked.
"I didn't see them" I said.
"They were left on read" He said.
I facepalmed.
"Look I don't know what you want but I'm telling you I'm cool about that night I don't need any compensation ok?" I asked.
"Then what do you want?" He asked.
I brushed my hair back not knowing what to do.
"I don't know...I don't think that's enough...I mean...No matter how much I look at it...I don't think that seeing someone as a form of compensation is a good thing...It's just not nice" I said.
"Fine...I get it...Then how about we just be friends?" He asked.
"Why do you want to be my friend? Out of guilt?" I asked.
"Why would you think it's just guilt?" He asked.
I took a deep breath and nodded to myself.
"Come in...It's not good to talk outside" I said.
He nodded and followed me into the apartment.
He sat down on the sofa and I went to make him some tea.
After some time I came back and sat down next to him.
"Thanks" He said as he accepted the tea cup I gave him.
"There's also chocolates if you want" I said.
"It's alright I don't like sugary stuff" He said.
I nodded.
"So...What did you want to tell me?" He asked.
"I wanted to say that you shouldn't waste time on dating someone out of guilt" I said again.
Then fidgeted in my seat uncomfortably.
"I might be feeling guilty but that doesn't mean I'm stupid" He said.
Then sipped his tea before turning to me.
"I know it was your first time and I know that I said I'll take responsibility for what I did but I didn't say that I'll put you under house arrest" He said.
"Huh?" I asked frowning.
"You don't know what might happen...I mean...We might end up somewhere if we try right? Who knows?" He asked.
Then put the cup aside.
"My reasoning might be wrong to you but maybe if we try we'll eventually like each other right?" He asked.
"But you like Porsche" I said.
"Not really...It might be a shitty thing to do but I actually wanted to piss Kinn off" He said.
"And why are you telling me that?" I asked.
"As I said before I'm a responsible person which means I'll come clean if I did something wrong" He said shrugging.
I chuckled and shook my head.
"You're coming clean to the wrong person" I said.
"Oh well...I decided to stop my games" He said.
Then we both grabbed the cups again and sipped the tea.
"What's the reason behind the rivalry anyway?" I asked.
"It goes way back to when we were in kindergarten...I learned the alphabetical letters before him because I had a parrot who repeated them so I picked up from it...And in middle school and high school I got better grades then him because I was helping my little brother with most of his studies...And in college I got a sports scholarship because I was good at three different sports" He said.
I chuckled awkwardly.
"But we were always on each other's throats because apparently whenever he liked someone that person turned to me instead" He said.
Then sipped his tea.
"It's stupid" He said.
"And what happened after that?" I asked.
"Nothing...I guess it continued as it is and we continued pranking each other up until I went to the states" He said shrugging.
I nodded and sipped my tea.
"I should go now...Oh and Kinn is asking for Porsche's phone number" He said.
"I can't give it up without his permission wait until I talk to him first" I said.
He nodded and stood up.
"Well...Thanks for the tea" He said.
Then left the apartment.
(The next day)
Porchay's P.O.V:
I was at the grocery store with Macau.
"So...Which cake flavour does P'Kim like?" I asked.
"He likes white cakes and pineapples so you should combine them together" Macau said.
I nodded and started adding things to the cart.
"So why do you two pretend not to know each other in college?" I asked.
"He didn't tell you?" Macau asked.
Then rubbed the back of his neck.
"Ummm...I'm the reason he got face blind...When I was in high school I got into a lot of fights...One time I asked for his help and one of the guys I fought with hit the back of his head with a metallic pipe" Macau said.
I stayed silent not knowing what to say.
"He got a head fracture and could have died if it wasn't for the doctor's skills...He stayed bedridden for a year and after that we didn't speak to each other at all" He said.
Then chuckled sadly and shook his head.
"It's funny right? How I was the reason of it and I got out unharmed" He said.
"Why did you join the same faculty as him then?" I asked.
"I wanted to help him...When he got an audition the people in the interview said that his singing seemed to be forced even though he did his best...We all knew for a fact that he did his best and still tried but at some point he just stopped fighting and became like this" Macau said.
"I'm not going to say that P'Kim no longer blames you because I don't know that for sure but I hope you two make up soon" I said.
"I don't think that's possible but thank you" He said.
"You always wanted to apologise...You just didn't know how" I said.
He looked at the floor and nodded once.
I patted his shoulder.
"The time will come eventually" I said smiling.
He smiled and nodded.
"Thank you" He said.
We were done with the shopping and left.
I went back to my dorm.
But before I could open the door I heard a commotion from behind me.
I turned and saw P'Porsche and P'Big grunting as they dragged the half conscious completely drunk P'Tankul over to the house gate.
"I told you I'm not drunk...I can still drink more" P'Tankul yelled.
"Just go in already you freak" P'Porsche said as he struggled with him.
P'Tankul said that he wanted to go to the bar again.
Apparently the bar became his favourite place when P'Porsche and the others took him there so he went every chance he got.
"Porchay open the door" P'Big said.
I nodded and pushed the door open.
Then they walked P'Tankul in and put him on the sofa in the living room.
"New year is the day after tomorrow...What do you want to do this year?" P'Porsche asked smiling.
SHIYA...I forgot that we always spent new years together.
"Ummm...P'Porsche...This year I..." I started.
But was cut off when P'Tankul suddenly laughed drunkly.
"He won't be there...HE'S GOING ON A DATE" P'Tankul said drunkly.
Then laughed as he raised a finger to P'Porsche's face.
"He's ditching you to go on a date" P'Tankul said.
My eyes widened and I turned to P'Porsche who looked back at me with a betrayed frown.
"What's he talking about?" P'Porsche asked.
"Ummm...P'Porsche I'm really sorry...I'm going to celebrate the new year with my friend this year" I said.
P'Porsche chuckled awkwardly.
"Why are you being all awkward? It's totally fine with me...It's totally fine" He said.
I pursed my lips into a thin line.
He went upstairs so I followed him.
"P'Porsche I'm really sorry" I said.
"You don't have to be sorry it's normal...You should go have fun with your friends you're a college student after all so you should have fun before you get a job or something" He said smiling.
Then sat down on the bed.
I decided that it'd be better to just leave him alone for now.
Porsche's P.O.V:
I took out my phone when I noticed that I had a message from Kinn so I guessed that Pete gave him my number.
"Happy new year in advance" Kinn's message said.
"I'm coming back tomorrow morning" I texted.
His reply came almost immediately.
"What? Why?" His text said.
"What? I can't?" I texted.
"No of course you can" His text said.
Then booked the first flight I found available.
(The next day)
Porsche's P.O.V:
I got off the plane and walked over to the waiting area where Kinn was standing.
"So...Do you want to..." He started.
But I cut him off with a hug.
"Porsche?" He asked.
"I don't want to go home now I want to go for some drinks" I said.
For some reason...I felt like crying.
So I did.
