No Strings Attached

Chapter 5

Zee's hand stayed between his legs a little longer than necesary, before Zee forced himself to withdraw.

That's the only time that Zee let him go from his lap. Nunew dizzily look for his underwear and immediately wear it. Then Zee handed him his sweatpants.

"Thanks." Nunew said.

"I can't pick you up tomorrow." Zee mutter. "I have to attend something."

Nunew just nod, he was thankful for the new information. He needs time away from Zee.

"It's okay." Nunew replied. "Where's your health certificate?" Zee smiled. "There. In the dashboard compartment."

Nunew quietly open the compartment. He grab the piece of paper and then read it. "I'll show you mine on Tuesday."

"Why not on Monday?" Zee's eyes furrowed.

"I forgot to tell you that I have to go somewhere on Monday." "Where?" Nunew was already familiar when Zee hardens his voice.

"It's my brother's bakery shop opening. I'll go straight there from work. I don't know what time it'll end."

"I'll pick you up then."

"No. It's okay Zee. It's pretty big event. There might be people from the press that are invited. They might see you."

"It doesn't matter. People take pictures of me everywhere I go, so what's new? We know what we are doing. People can think what they want."

Nunew can taste bitterness on his lips. Zee is right. If he agrees, it will be the first time that they'll be seen together. The first time that the new flavor of the week will be posted on the internet. Zee have a lot of pictures online with his former fuck buddies. He will be one them. It didn't really bother Nunew but it's a personal occassion. His step brother Harit's grand opening party.

"I know. But it's a family affair. I have a lot of friends and relatives that will attend that event. If they see you with me, they will definitely ask me about you. It's one thing to see us together on the internet, but it's harder when they see us together personally. I don't think it's advisable."

"Are you going with somebody else?" Zee's voice so cold that it almost makes him shiver.

"No. I'm going alone. Listen, I have to-"

Nunew's phone suddenly rings. His heartbeat race when he saw it was Sarawat calling him. He immediately answer it. "Sarawat."

"Where are you?"

Nunew felt even more nervous when he heard the tone of the latter's voice. "I'm just outside. What happened?"

"Toy broke his arm. He slip on the bathroom floor."

"Oh god. I'm going in. Just a minute."

He ended the call and immediately push the car door but Zee was too quick to grab his arm. "What happened?"

Nunew tell Zee what Sarawat have told him over the phone.

Nunew step out of the car and runs towards the orphanage gate. When he opened the gate to get inside, he was surprise to see Zee behind him. He gave the taller man a deadly glare but Zee ignore him and instead grab his wrist leading him inside the orphanage home.

"Ya! What are you doing?"

"Get inside, Nunew."

Nunew felt very irritated. "What are you doing~~~"

"While you are busy fighting with me, they are in panic inside. We can do this all night or you can be a little bit mature~"

"Oh shut up!" He run inside the house.
