No Strings Attached

Chapter 13

Zee's arm never leaving his waist when they were greeted by blinding lights and flashes of cameras.
His boyfriend whispers on his ears. "Teerak, relax, you look like a frigid fish." He elbowed Zee's stomach. "Thanks, that really helps."

Zee laugh and kiss his forehead. "You're still a very pretty kitten even when you're nervous and bitchy."

He gave Zee a side glare and laugh. "Fuck you Pruk. You're corny."

They were immediately greeted by Zee's business partners and collegues. His boyfriend introduce him to them. He saw how their eyes almost pop out of socket when Zee mentioned the word "his boyfriend." Most of the ladies can't hide their judging eyes away from him. If looks could kill, he was surely dead by now.

How many in this party had become Zee's fuck buddy? But he tried to stop that thought.

"Zee!"

They turned around and he was frozen when he saw a young woman approaching them. "I almost thought you're not coming." Ara was all smile as she kiss Zee's left cheek.

The young woman is prettier in person. Her long black hair was so straight and shiny. And her skin looks so smooth. Zee's friend was short and her knee length, pink dress looks good on her, revealing her perfectly shape, beautiful legs.

Nunew suddenly felt old and humungous compared to the petite and delicate woman in Zee's arm.

"Ara." Zee's voice was so low. "I want you to meet Nunew Chawarin, my boyfriend."

Nunew didn't miss the shock look in the woman's eyes.

"Nunew." Zee lightly squeeze his waist. "Wang Ara, a close friend of mine."

He tried so hard to give her a smile. "Hi, it's nice to finally meet a good friend of Zee's."

The woman gave him a force smile too. "Hello, Khun Nunew. It's nice to meet you, too."

Seems like everyone in the hall is waiting for them to start a bitch fight. He can't blame them. Obviously, most of them thinks that Ara and Zee were a couple for the longest. The more he look at Ara, the more he can see how much the woman adores his boyfriend.

The band starts to play and Zee kiss his forehead for the umpteenth times. "Want to dance for a minute, baby?"

He nods and smile. He knows its a force one. He felt like his cheeks is made out of cement. "Sure."

Zee and Nunew went to the dancefloor leaving Ara behind.

Nunew stares at his boyfriend. "She has feelings for you."

Zee sigh and tightened his hold on him. Their bodies sway to the gentle music. "What do you want me to say, Nhu?"

Zee is right. What does he want to hear from his boyfriend? That his boyfriend will never to talk again to his close friend? Zee and Ara are friends since they were teens. The woman was part of Zee's life much more than he was.

Zee hold his nape so he can see his face. "There's nothing going on with me and Ara. She's just a friend and~~~~"

"Is that clear to her? Did you tell her that it's all you can offer? Did she try to even confess her feelings to you?"

The hardness in Zee's eyes betrayed his deceptively calm expression. And Nunew was once again faced with his Roman god mask. "Do we have to talk about this now."

Zee is right again. They were not in the right place to discuss all of that. There are a lot of people staring at them. He was sure that they have an idea now of what they were discussing.
