The Destined Encounter - 109 Chapter 43

It’s been a week since the incident happened and true to what his father told him Lance never once bothered him. He constantly sends Lander to his house which made him happy. Though the young boy still doesn’t know about him being his biological mother Lander still finds it comforting to be with him and play with him to the point that there are times where he sleeps over night in Aiden’s house. His life has never been this peaceful.

“Uncle why are you no longer visits our house?” Lander asked out of nowhere as the boy plays with his robot toy.

“Uncle just not used to being in someone else’s home.” Aiden answered back.

“Whenever you come visit Daddy’s face lights up. His eyes will smile like this and he becomes more excited than me but when uncle stops visiting Daddy is always sad though he smiles and plays with Lander Daddy is very much different. Then he often looks at the portrait of the Fairy.”

“Fairy?” Aiden asked.

“Yeah Fairy he looks like a fairy, he’s beautiful more beautiful than my mother I think. Mom never visits our house either but it’s ok at least she won’t be able to hurt Lander any more.” Lander said. Aiden’s heart breaks after hearing about Bea. The trauma she caused to his son is so great that the boy didn’t even misses her after being absent to the boys life for months.

“What if I am your mother would that be ok with you?” A wide smile appeared on Lander’s face after he said those words.

“I want you to be my mother! You cook so well Lander like! You always plays with me, you teaches me all the time and you always makes Daddy happy so Lander approve!” The kid said giving him a thumbs up. “So will you marry my Daddy?”

“No-no I won’t marry your Father I just asked what if I was your mother.” Aiden became nervous that instant after Lander mentioned about the marriage but his answer only made the boy sad.

“I thought I will finally have you as my Mother.” Aiden hug Lander.

“You can treat me as your mother the only difference is I am a mother without a husband.” Aiden explained.

**************************

“Your house is gigantic Dexter.” Dillan whispered.

“Yeah Lee made it so but compare to his parents house this is nothing. I bet Teakyun will built his even bigger than this.”

“The President you mean?” Dillan asked.

“Yep, my husband’s brother.” The two are spending the night again in his house. He doesn’t know what got into his husband’s head that he again invited the two again.

“Yo you’re here!” Lee said happily. It was a short notice invitation so Dexter doesn’t really have much choice but to bring the two with him.

“Dexy honey my friends are coming.” Lee said.

“Who?”

“Lance, Adrian and Terrence.” Lee said.

“It’s Lance.” Dexter sigh. “So why did you made me bring these two for?” Dexter asked.

“Zee and Derek are both not here so we lack of people by the way Lance is bring Jules with him.”

“No drinking tonight!” Dexter said with finality. “I had enough with all your craziness when you and your friends gets drunk. I’m the one who always suffers in the end! So no drinking tonight!”

“Dexy what we will do for the rest of the night?” Lee asked.

“I have a solution to that.” Dexter smirked.

“Hey, it’s not always that we get to drink with a high profile people.” Dillan whispered.

“Yeah just make an exemption this time?” Oliver seconded.

“Yes Dexy don’t you pity your friends?” Lee who overheard added but in the end it was still Dexter who has the last say.

Lance brows curves in all directions because of too much annoyance. He was expecting to get wasted but instead of drinking alcoholic drinks he is sipping a warm coffee.

“What’s with this Lee?” Terrence who can no longer contain it finally snap.

“Sorry Dexy won’t allow me to drink. He said he has an idea on how we could spend the night.” Lee apologetically said bowing his head as he rub both his hands together as if praying.

“Fuck! I need to let out my frustrations. How can I let it all out with coffee!” Adrian shouts.

“Don’t worry I will make sure you will let it all those built up frustrations out tonight.” Dexter said giving Terrence and Jules a cup of coffee. “Are you guys ready?” Dexter asked. He opened the laptop and called someone. Zeejay who seems a bit gloomy answered the call.

“Hey Zee!” Dexter greeted.

(Dexter?) Derek asked.

“Yeah, Derek, Zee good thing both of you answered the call.”

(Why what now? I’m not in the mood to talk.) Zeejay said.

“Your friends are here. I know you feel frustrated and heavy but do you want to let all that out?” Dexter asked but Zeejay just raised his can of beer.

(I’m already letting my frustrations out so no thanks.)

“That’s what I’m telling you the only way to ouch….” Adrian hold his head that Dexter hit with his smiling face.

“Zee I know much better way.” Derek persuade. Soon the two agreed. He asked the boys to bring out their phones and to download a certain app.

“What’s this?” Lance asked

” What do you think of us kids?” Zeejay complained.

“Now now kids this game is not a normal game.” Dexter explained.

“I think I saw my twins played this thing but I don’t know the mechanics though.” Terrence commented.

“Now don’t you think that’s a good thing? If you learn how to play this you will be able to play this with them.” Terrence face light up after hearing that.

Dexter gave out the instructions and after trying for a couple of times the bunch of men got hooked up playing the game.

“It’s black I told you it’s black!” Terrence shout.

“How can it be me?” Lance rebut.

“Yeah I saw him vent you lying bastard!” Zeejay shouted.

“It’s not me I swear!” Lance defended.

“Then we will vote black.” Derek agreed.

“Ok vote me out but if it’s not me then vote Cyan!” Lance shout back.

Broken 101 was an Imposter…. 1 Impostor remains

“Broken 101 Lance really? I told you to change your name to something else how come you make it sound more miserable each time?” Terrence asked.

“Well it is much better than Dad of three! You show off bastard!” Lance growl back.

“Now now kids that’s enough focus on your tasks! We need to finish this before the impostor kill us all!” Teakyun who also joined the game said until not a few seconds after the game start someone pushed the buzzer of the emergency.

“What now?!” Terrence complain

“It’s Yellow!” Zeejay shouted

“Any proof Orange?” Oliver asked.

“He’s been following me, He’s a sus!” Zeejay answered.

The grown ups played till the break of dawn. When Dexter came down to see. He saw the grown ups sleeping soundly with their phones in their hands. When he was about to close the laptop he saw that Zeejay was still there.

“Zee, not sleeping yet?” Dexter asked.

(No, sleep won’t visit me.)

“Care to share what’s bothering you?” Zeejay told Dexter everything from the moment he got there to the time when Nicolas told him all those things.

“Zee you see it has been years that he hoped and when he finally gave up that’s when you came chasing him. It’s hard for him to trust you again. You may have not done it intentionally but you still broke his heart in the process. Don’t pressure him, don’t hurry him you will gain nothing from that. Listen to me not to my crazy husband’s idea. Accept his friendship if you really want to build a relationship with him first, gain his trust again little by little maybe he could open his heart to you. Don’t force it if you got lucky Nick might give you a chance but if not at least you still gain his friendship.” Zeejay went silent for a moment before he opened his mouth to speak.

(If I accept his offer of friendship will he love me again?)

“There is no guarantee to that. The only thing y hiou can do is to be yourself, do your best for him and your son and to not force anything. Let things unfold to how it should be. If he gives you a chance then it’s meant to be if not then it’s time for you to move on. For now be his friend, show him the man the he once saw in you, the man he fell in love with or much better be more than that man.” Zeejay smiled.

(Thank you Dexter. Lee really had it easy. Among us he’s the one who has the less problem here. He doesn’t have to worry about his parents cause they fully support their children. He doesn’t have to worry about you cause you love him and him even though he’s crazy he got things right with you as early as possible. While me and my friends have to fuck up first before we realize things.) Dexter looked at Lee who’s hugging Oliver’s feet as he sleeps soundly. It may have been true that both of them got lucky that their lives are peaceful but the fact that their life is too peaceful and almost perfect scares him. He wonders if this all happiness that he’s feeling right now is just temporary but he has faith in Lee. He knows no matter what happens Lee won’t leave him, he won’t replace him and most of all he will always protects him.

“It’s not always rainbows and butterflies you know? Lee just know how to set his pride aside to please me. He knows when to back out to our fights and he knows when to surrender to me. Me on the other side knows when I’m wrong just because he always tolerates and pleases me doesn’t always mean that I have to win all the time. It’s a matter of accepting and admitting when I’m wrong and that things I’ve done wrong. It’s always give and take for the both of us Lance. Maybe that what makes the two of us work even though our personalities are completely different.”

(In short he’s just afraid of you! You just can’t eliminate that fact Dexter.) Zeejay laugh.

“Yeah he is and always tells me that every single chance he has. He keeps on telling me that his biggest fear is me and he’s proud of that. He even got this saying real man surrenders to their wife!”

(If I will be lucky enough to be given another chance with Nick. I promise to submit to him. I will always let him win.)

“Then be his good friend first and be a good father to your son maybe Zay could be a bridge for the two of you. It takes time Zee, you just need to be persistent, remember there are no short cuts to the heart of the person you love. You have to work heart in making a way to his heart again.”

(Thank you.) Dexter turned off the laptop and brought down with him blankets for the boys. After that he went to the kitchen to prepare something.

“Dexter.”

“Ow Lance! You should sleep some more.”

“I’m not sleepy. I heard you talk to Zee. I just want to ask maybe you can spare some time to give me a good advice.” Dexter studied Lance face and he can see the sorrow that his eyes are showing.

“An advice on how to get Aiden? I’m sorry Lance but….”

“Not that. I want to move on. I thought it through, he go as far as running to death just so he could get away from me. I made up my mind. I just don’t know how.”

“Lance moving on is very hard. I have been in your shoes before only difference is that the other person didn’t love me that way I always loves her. I was lucky enough to find a new love which also the reason why I have moved on from the previous one. I’m not saying that you should too but I think you should find something you can put your mind to it. Try to spend more time with Lander and your friends. Take you parents to a vacation. Don’t prison yourself from the past there’s more to life than love. That’s how I was able to manage the pain of heart breaks before.”

“What if it was Lee? What would you do?” Lance asked.

“Lee won’t leave me.” Dexter fake a laugh.

“I’m not saying he will I’m just asking what if.”

“To be honest I don’t know. I never love someone as much as I have loved him.”

“They say Omega are the weakest but they got it all wrong. When an Omega got your heart in their palms and you happen to pissed them off they will tear it apart.”

“Not just an Omega Lance. Morning Dexy honey.” Lee kissed Dexter on his left cheek before going to his back to give him a back hug, placing his chin on top of Dexter’s left Shoulder.

“You should sleep some more.” Dexter whispered.

“Nah, I’ll sleep later on the bed with you.” Lee’s gaze shifted to Lance. “It’s not just with an Omega but to anyone. You gave your heart to him and he gave his to you. You crash his and he crash yours. It’s the same with mine. I gave my heart to Dexy and Dexy gave me his. If I hurt Dexy then it’s my fault. Dexy if I hurt you so much will you forgive me?”

“I don’t know it depends whether I can put my trust on you again.” Dexter said with all honesty.

“See Lance even him an Alpha would act that way. I know that that’s why I make sure to never do something that could make Dexter question my love for him. Cause the moment when that love has ended with a question mark then that’s also the start of the ruin of your relationship with him.”

Dexter looked at Lee, he never thought that Lee thinks this way with their relationship. “Since when?” Dexter asked.

“Since my friends starts screwing their love lives. They were all an embodiment of the saying history repeats itself, even my brother is stupid to fall for that trap. Zee found his love at a young age but taken it for granted he even got a few chances to make it better but still too stubborn to admit and own up to his own feelings. Now the love that he has been denying for more than a decade is running away from him. Terrence was perfect but screw up when he didn’t believe his wife but at least he still manage to get his family back together. Adrian, I already acted up as a fairy godfather to him and Nash but look what he did! Now he’s looking for him like a mad man but still won’t admit his feelings towards Nash! I won’t be surprised if he somehow ends up like Zee and now Lance, Lance remember the party where you had told me about Liam. I was really surprised but happy at the same time. I disgusted by it back then cause I could not understand how were able to manage to stay with one person but I was also envious of you cause finally you found the one and yet you let him slipped for how many times. You and Zee are at the same level of stupidity that’s why it’s no wonder both of you are having a hard time.”

“Dexter do me a favor.” Lance suddenly said after Lee’s long reprimanding speech.

“What favor?” Dexter asked.

“Divorce that man already he annoys me. Don’t you get annoy with him?” Dexter laugh but Lee throw Lance deadly glares.

“Fuck off you bastard! Dexy don’t listen to him ok?”

“I won’t don’t worry. Come here.” Lance watched to two love birds he felt envious and yet happy with the two.

“Ow you two people get a room!” Lance shouted at the public display of affection that the two are both showing in front of him.

“It’s our own home!” Lee shouted back.

“Don’t you realize that you have a visitor in your house? Show some decency!”

The two keeps on bickering till they run out of things to say while on the other side of the room is Adrian who was standing outside heard everything. It seems that what has he had over heard opened his eyes to the truth that he indeed holds a feeling for Nash. He fears that he might end up like both Nash and Zeejay that he panic and went home without even telling the people that he will be leaving.

After having their lunch in Dexter’s house all of them went out on their way home. Lee has to asked his drivers send two of Dexter’s friends home for the two doesn’t have any cars to drive themselves.

“Do you think will they be ok?” Dexter asked.

“I hope so. Anyways Honey my brother said that they will be going home by next month once they are home I will have lots of free time for you.”

Dexter raised his brows. “Really?”

Lee walk near Dexter and held him up to sit him on the island counter. “Yeah.” He run his hands up and down to Dexter’s thigh. “I’ll have more time to keep you company and do other things.” Dexter leaned forward to Lee’s ears and whispered. “What other things.” before he slightly bite Lee’s ears and the rest is history.

The day went by and night came, Dexter thought that it was not such a bad day. The group of foolish men know nothing about love that recently gets together to drink and poured out their sorrow ended up playing a child’s play game. It’s a good break from their usual drink yourself miserably with your friends from pour your frustrations in playing games with your friends of course that also end up not good with his husband who his not so lucky in love friends always targets first when it comes to their first kill or votes for ejection.

“Hey why are you still pouting?” Dexter asked.

“Because they are ganging up on me! I keep telling them that Pink! Pink was not an imposter! but they just won’t listen!” Lee looked at him like a lost puppy looking for a comfort.

“There there just understand them most of them are having a hard time with their own personal life.”

“Why? did they think that I had it easy with you? Of course not! I tried everything just to win you. I even rode those horrible rides for you!” Lee complains only made Dexter laugh.

“I know that’s why I fell head over heals with you.”

“So when did you start noticing that you are falling in love with me?” Lee teased they never had this kind of conversation before so it made Lee wonder when did his Other half starts developing feelings for him but the question only made Dexter blush.

“Ow about Liam I still wasn’t able to speak to him. I was thinking of visiting him.” Dexter said changing the topic.

“Should I accompany you?” Lee asked.

“No need. He will only get intimidated once he learned that you are with me.” Dexter said.

*******************************

Zeejay did what Dexter advices to him he gave Nicolas what he wanted and start a relationship with him as a friend. He frequently visits the Omega’s apartment to eat with him and his son that Zay always finds annoying. It’s obvious that the kid doesn’t really like him that much.

“Why is he here again?” Zay complain. “Doesn’t he have money to buy himself a meal? He always comes here to eat.”

“Now now Zay don’t be like that your father just wants to hang out with you. To get close to you.” Nicolas explained.

“Yeah as if! Of course the person he wanted to get close with is not me but you!”

“You’re right about that.” Zeejay’s whispered to Zay.

“Mom did you hear it? He just admitted it to me!”

“Zay don’t complain and just eat your food.” what Nicolas said only made Zay pout even more.

“Though I also want to be close to you too.” Zeejay whispered again that made Zay glared at him. After they had dinner Zay saw that Zeejay was on video call with his friends while his eyes were on his phone. He already noticed it since a week ago. It happened on the weekend and now that it’s weekend again Zeejay was on call with his friends, they keep on shouting colors as if the colors were the name of the person. Due to his own curiosity he decided to stand behind the man to see what he’s up to only to be disappointed to see him playing child’s play with an avatar that looks like minions with different colors. Though it was plain stupid he still decided to stay and watch how the game is played. It only has been like 2 minutes when a discussion started and Zeejay start mentioning colors again.

“No I’m telling you it’s green! He vented I saw him! He killed Pink and vented in front of me!” Zeejay shouted.

“No it was not me! It was not a self report! Ok vote me then if I’m not the Impostor then Vote green!” Zeejay shouted again.

“What a stupid game.” Zay commented. Zeejay who was surprised hearing a voice behind him fell from his seat.

“Zay. Don’t surprise me like that! Feel like I just lost half of my life because of that.” Zeejay said panting and holding his chest.

“Don’t worry you won’t die Young you’re a bad guy and bad guys don’t die easy.”

“Hey want to join us?” Zeejay asked.

“No thanks, I don’t want to play such a stupid game.”

“We lack one more player, your uncles are also playing.”

“My uncles are all childish so no thanks. Such an easy game is easy to Ace.”

“If it that’s really easy then you won’t be refusing to play this in the first place.” Zeejay taunt.

“Are you telling me that I’m a coward?”

“I didn’t said that you’re the one who said it to yourself, perhaps you are.” Without words Zay walk out of the living room. Zeejay thought that it didn’t work and for a minute there got sad. He really wanted to spend some time with his son but every thing that he offers are all being rejected by the child. Clearly Zay is not like all other kids that can be bribe with candies and toys. He’s more on in a mature side where he thinks like most young adults thinks but minutes later the kid came back with his phone.

“What game is it?” Zay asked. He downloaded and installed the game to his phone. Zeejay was still surprise with what happened but he’s more than happy. He didn’t know what good thing that he did to be rewarded of this moment but Zeejay sure know that he will treasure this moment for the rest of his life. He even went on to chat his friends to take tons of screen shots so even in that position he could have a photo of him with his son.

“Why am I always getting killed!” Zay complain. “And why are you guys all good at lying?”

“It’s called strategy kiddo.” Zeejay laugh since Zay is already muted in the game since he got killed the only person who can here him is his father cause they are just both in one place. “So who is the Impostor?”

“Why should I tell you? Go find it yourself.”

From a far Nick smile with happiness seeing both father and son playing together. Even though Zay is being hard with Zeejay he can still see the happiness in his son’s eyes. It’s rare for him to see him this happy and that only made Nick even more proud of his decision to let Zeejay into their lives again. It may not be to be a complete family but at least he gained a friend and someone who could look after with Zay as a father figure. Zeejay didn’t make a move to him but his kind gesture and treatments makes Nick feel special he wonders if he will be able to keep his resolve for long or maybe it’s because it has been a while since the last time someone treated him with kindness and it so happen that it is now Zeejay that’s giving it to him. Nicolas just shake his head he doesn’t want to think about what matters now is that everything is good and the three of them are all happy now.

*************************

Dexter took a leave for his monthly check ups. His tummy got even bigger that now it’s getting obvious that he’s pregnant. Lee wanted to go with him but Dexter insisted that he will be fine on his own since the Alpha has meetings to attend to. After his check up he went to the mall to buy clothes. His clothes no longer fits him that he is now wearing Lee’s. After he’s done he went to a cake restaurant inside the mall to indulge himself with some sweets and that’s when he noticed a familiar Omega coming in the store. Dexter got up and walk towards that man. “Liam.” The Omega slowly turn his head to look at him. “It has been so long Liam or should I say Aiden?”

To be Continued….

******************************

“Why are you following me?!” Jules shouted after Lance had known that Axel is a spy Aiden called back Axel telling that his work is done, with that Axel thought that finally he will have the taste of real freedom as what Aiden promised him but it seems Axel can’t fully enjoy it when there’s a man that keeps on following him all the time to the point that even his not so trusting kids are now close to him. “And you kids why are you being too friendly to that guy? Didn’t I tell you not to trust strangers?”

“Brother, uncle is a good guy, we can all tell it in one look besides you too look good together he might become our future brother in law if that happens.” The little girl giggles as she tell him what’s on their mind.

“Well I don’t mind being your brother in law but that’s if your brother agrees to it.” Jules jokes about it. He doesn’t plan on settling down and go crazy over some other people but the reason why he keeps on following Axel is because he interest him. It was his first time seeing an Omega as fearless and cunning as this one in front of him.

Axel sighed. “Follow me.” Jules got up and followed Axel to his room.

“I didn’t thought you will be this bold, though I don’t mind.” Jules said.

“Who said that. It’s the only room in this house that is sound proof. Anyways what do you want? I don’t have time to play in your charade.” Axel said frustratingly.

“Nothing I just want to observe you for a little while. I find you interesting cause not all Omega is as strong, cunning and smart as you are.”

“Aiden is the same as me. He can shoot guns, his aim is good too. He can fight why not divert your interest to him?”

“Aiden doesn’t know how to hack but you, you do. I haven’t seen you hold a gun though but I heard from Lance that you were such a bad ass during the hostage taking.”

“You are an agent right? I’m betting that there are a lot of people that are more fascinating than I am.”

“You even knew about that.” Jules smirk he walk slowly forward making Axel move backward. “So what else that you do know about me?”

“N-nothing….” Axel stutter.

“Did you know that information is classified so I was wondering how come you know?”

“I look into it. It’s part of the job.” Axel explained. “Don’t come any nearer!”

“If you are that scared then fight me. Make me stop.” Jules teased.

“You think I wouldn’t do that?” Axel bravely answered back.

“I’m thinking you can’t win against me.” Jules said
