Recently I have been watching Tulfo a lot lately. I think I’m starting to get addicted watching it. Certified Tulfonatics here.

Anyways here is the long update….

Happy Reading ????!

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

Lance was sitting in the living room feeling sweaty although the room is quite ventilated. The pair of eyes that’s on him makes him feels like they are killing him in their minds.

“So Lance how are you feeling right now? Is there anything that you needed? Coffee perhaps?” George asked breaking the silence.

“No the maids already gave me a glass of water that’s already enough. Thank you.” Lance said stuttering.

“Good cause I don’t want you to feel unwelcomed just like how you shoo me away when I came to SEE my LITTLE BROTHER in your office.” Lance can still remember that time, the time where all the misunderstanding started. When he thought that George is Aiden’s husband. He can clearly recall how he treated the man badly because of his own jealousy that he didn’t know back then. He even thought the two are doing it in Aiden’s office. Thinking about it now makes him want to hide under the ground.

“But I think a glass of coffee really is what you needed. Will you say no to my offer?” Lance can hear threats to George voice that made him gulp and accept the offer.

“Of course, of course.” Lance agreed even though he doesn’t need one.

“Can you give this gentleman a cup of warm black coffee? Make it strong to the point that it will let his heart racing like it was going to explode.” Lance can clearly hear grudges with that offer.

“Son don’t be like that to your brother’s suitor.” The respectful Chairman Miller came tapping his son’s shoulder and then gazing hit stare to Lance direction before greeting him. “Good evening young man you, it’s nice to finally meet you formally.” Chairman Miller extended his hand that Lance gladly accepted. He somehow feel at ease more than what he felt with George that has been constantly glaring at him since the moment he arrived. Unlike George Chairman Miller accepted him with warm welcome or so he thought. The moment the Chairman grab his hand for a handshake the Chairman squized it hard to the point the he feels like his bones are about to break.

The sudden change in Lance face didn’t go unnoticed to George that only made him smirked. He knew his father is not someone who will let this man go unscathed.

“No-no it didn’t hurt, nope not hurt at all.” Lance struggles in letting those words out. Although he assured the Chairman his face and voice says otherwise.

“Sorry I workout even though I’m this old and barely manage to walk and run fast I still do exercises and weights sometimes. I lost control of my strength hahaha.” The Chairman laugh and Lance forced himself to laugh also even though at the back of his mind he knew that it was intentional.

“You must have been week, my father is already old. For you to winced like that it means you are quite week. How will you be able to handle Ai? He’s not your typical Omega.” George said stating the fact.

With what George just told him he remembers all the things that happened before. Aiden pinning him and withstanding his pheromones. The hostage taking at the restaurant. All those two events proves that Aiden is not just an Ordinary Omega. He now can protect himself and no longer needs someone else’s protection.

“Have you bully him enough?” All three of them looked to the direction where the voice came.

“You look cute.” George compliment.

“Not handsome? I made myself a little manly.” Aiden asked.

“Nope, no matter how you try making your self manly you will only fall to the pretty boy or cute boy image.”

Aiden pretend to think. “Well that’s enough to be called pretty like a woman. I’m getting sick of it.”

“Don’t be like that be thankful mom’s face is pretty.”

“I know, I know.” Aiden hug his father as he greeted him.

“You look dashing son.” Aiden smiled at him.

“Thanks Dad. Did you bring you something?” Aiden asked looking if Lance had given his father the gifts he told him to bring with him.

“Ow I forgot to.give this to you Uncle.” Lance smiled awkwardly as he called the Chairman uncle. Chairman Miller let go of his son and accepted the gift. He doesn’t look happy nor please but he doesn’t look like he doesn’t like it so Lance thinks that his gift is ok. Then next he gave the box of cake to Aiden’s brother.

“Brother here.” Lance calling George brother gave him a goosebumps.

“Don’t call me brother we are not yet brother’s!” Despite his protest George still accepted the gift. “Buy me five of this next time, no need to take it here just delivered it here.” Lance was a little bit dumbfounded. It was his first time meeting someone who he had given a gift to actually request some more and the request for more cakes didn’t just end up there. George even made a grocery request that can fill the whole fridge for a month worth of food and the refrigerator with sweets. Aiden secretly laugh at his brother’s request we’ll to his eyes it’s more like a command rather than a request.

“Shall we go?” Aiden asked. Lance only nodded in agreement. When the two are about to leave his father suddenly said something. “Lance are you free this weekend?” With happiness Lance immidiately answered. Even though he has plans if it’s for Aiden’s father we will gladly free the schedule. “Good I would like us to go somewhere bond and get to know each other.” Chairman Miller showed such promise to the words he had given and gave Lance a high hope. “Of course uncle.”

“You better go now kids. Don’t go home so late.” Lance felt like he will be able to easily win Aiden’s father’s heart and plan to prioritize him over George. He’ll just think of a way to win over George after Chairman Miller.

“Dad you seem to be getting easy with him.” George complain.

“You think making such childish demand is going hard on him?” Chairman Miller answered back.

“That’s what you called strategy! It’s a message telling him that he can’t bribe us Dad!” George defended.

“Don’t worry I have plans. Leave this thing to this old man.” The sinister smile of the Chairman is a promise of nightmare to Lance.

Lance keep on glancing over to Aiden’s side. He wears a dark blue V-neck plain shirt which front hem is tuck in to his faded rag jeans paired by a wingtip boots. Aiden style is far from Liam’s simple yet cute style which highlights his girly features. Although Aiden’s facial features are still girly his physique and taste with his clothing makes it less noticable which is also the reason why people who sees him doesn’t take him lightly. He doesn’t look someone who’s soft at all.

“Why? Is there any problem?” Aiden asked when he noticed that Lance keep on glancing to his side.

“You changed a lot.” Lance said.

“I did, I have to since I’m no longer him. I craved my personality, behavior, attitude, characteristics in short the whole me from the scratch. I was given an opportunity to start a new. At first I was doing the same thing over and over again that it made G very angry. He told me if I’ll be like that then nothing will ever going to change even with a new face and name same thing will happen if I don’t change the way I am.” Aiden explained, he still clearly remember that night when George exploded out of anger, he was trembling in fear cause Liam is someone who easily gets scared when someone he dear get angry of him. George didn’t came home for a week after that and his father explained to him what made his brother angry. Then and there Aiden realized that what George has been doing is for his own good.

“Didn’t it bother you? Like you were never the same person again. You are totally different, like you were born as Aiden from the start.”

“That was the plan. I am Liam at the same time I am not him. I was him but no longer him. Do you get what I’m saying?” Aiden asked.

“Not really. I guessed it’s still hard for me to process it. If it’s Liam I think I won’t have this kind of conversation with him. He will simply cling and cuddle to me. Hold my hand while driving and be sweet with me.” Aiden looked at Lance. What he said is true, he always does that before. Being a good, sweet and caring wife. He never discuss matter such as work, political and serious things to him but with Aiden he can do all that except him being sweet. Maybe it will take a long time for him to get to that stage after all things are still a little bit awkward for the two of them.

“You have to get use to it.” Aiden simply answer then got out of Lance car once Lance is done parking. Aiden look to the place where they are. “We are at the Port. I told you to book us to a good restaurant.”

“I didn’t but I did book us a great chef just for this night.” Lance held out his hand to Aiden. He figured that Aiden personality is like the total opposite of Liam. He is cold, uninterested in romantic things and stoic. It’s like he’s emotionless sometimes. He already accepted the fact that Liam is not him and they both are different person. So instead of waiting for him to warm up and be sweet like he was before, Lance took the initiative to be the one to cling and chase after the one who clinged to him in the past.

Lance guided Aiden as he entered the yacht.

“Dinner in yacht?” Aiden asked.

“No dinner in the middle of the sea.” Lance corrected

“What’s the difference.” Aiden asked when he suddenly feel like the yacht start moving.

“You’ll see.” Lance said taking a stroll on the side of the boat.

Aiden can only sneer at the man’s confidence.

While Lance is busy with his dinner the boys are busy getting ready for the game that they start getting addicted on.

“Are we all set?” Terrence asked.

“No Lance is still not here!” Zeejay shouted.

“Where the heck is Lance anyways?” Jules asked. Terrence tried to call Lance but didn’t answer.

“Adrian isn’t here also, he said that he will be gone for a couple of days. It seems he already found out where the Omega is.” Drake explained.

“Ow that big man is finally making his move.” Lee whistle before saying that.

“Hey Drake aren’t you busy yourself? I think you should take a leave to this boys game night and pursue that beta of yours so that I won’t have anymore rival.” Zeejay suggested.

“Don’t even mention about that to me. He doesn’t even want to see me. After treating me good like I thought he’s finally giving me a chance he just suddenly avoided me. Like I was not even there.” Derek said sadly.

“Then it’s more time that you should make a move towards him.” Zeejay insisted that earned a glare from Derek.

“I’m not like you who doesn’t think. I need to play this game to help me clear my mind which also reminds me to kill you first when I become an imposter.”

“Now now kids stop arguing so how many of us are playing tonight?” Lee asked then he begun counting. “Me, Zee, Derek, Terrence, Jules. There’s only five of us. It’s not even exciting to play with just us.”

“Call Dexter’s friends!” Zeejay suggested. Lee did called the two and included them but still they are short with 3 more players.

“I’ll ask Uno and Dos. No cursing!” Terrence warned. They can hear from the background that Terrence has been calling his two boys to join the game. Dos who is very close to Terrence immidiately agreed but Uno who is not didn’t but after minutes of persuading from both his father and younger brother Uno finally agree.

“Can they even keep up?” Uno asked.

“Uno don’t talk like that to us your uncles!” Lee immidiately reacts.

“We are still short with one.” Derek said.

“Call Lance, he doesn’t have any valid excuse! Adrian has one, he is chasing after his soon to be wife!” Lee explained.

“Call Lance Terrence.” Jules said.

“Why me? I already found us two players and now your telling me to go find the last player?” Terrence glared. “Lee call Lance.”

Lee didn’t complain and just dialed Lance phone and put it in loudspeaker so everyone can hear. “Hey Broken 101 the game is starting.” They can hear someone coughing from the other line.

(Lee!) Lance asked a little louder like he’s angry, then his loud voice suddenly became low like he’s whispering. (I can’t play right now. I’ll make it up to you guys on other days.)

“Black is Sus…. tooot tooot toooot” The call just died and when. Lee tried dialling again he can no longer reach Lance phone.

“Let’s just play as we are right now.” Terrence just suggested. All nine of them start playing.

“You’re playing this boring game again?” Zeejay looked at the voice behind.

“If it’s boring then why did you stay up almost morning with me playing this game?” Zeejay answered back.

“I just want to prove to you back then that I can beat you in that game!” Zay counter. “Why are you here AGAIN anyways? You have your own house then why are you here every single time? Like everyday?”

“I’m looking after you. Damn! Terrence kid is good he killed me!” Zeejay never really met his uncle Terrence cause the man never really mentions them. But he already knew he has kids and that they are smart just like him he knew this from his other uncles. And seeing that his kids is playing with him makes it contradict to his first impression with his uncle Terrence relationship with his kids. He thought that his uncle Terrence doesn’t care about them.

“So it was Dos and Uno who are the Impostors! They got us good!” Lee shouted. “Ow Zay how are you?” They saw Zay standing behind Zeejay’s couch.

“I’m fine uncle Lee.” Zay said.

“Zay have you been treating that man harshly? If not make things even harder for him!” Terrence taunt.

“Don’t worry Uncle Terrence I’m not making it easy for him.”

“Why you!” Zeejay glared at Zay and then to Terrence.

“Hey Zay why don’t you join us we lack one more player.” Terrence asked.

“Dad! Dad! Dad!” Zay’s eyes glued on the screen to that child that run towards Terrence.

“Hello there my dearest!” Terrence lifted the giggling child and seated him to his lap.

“He’s not your dearest he’s our dearest, don’t steal that endearment from us.” Uno quickly responded after Terrence address their brother with the pet name they gave him.

“Yeah Dad go make your own!” Dos protested.

“But why can’t I join you guys! I want to call Thirdy as my dearest!” Terrence was already pouting like a child.

“Aw how sweet! I wish my baby boy would also be as sweet as that to me.” Lee wishfully claimed.

“Tsk show off!” Zeejay scorn.

“Daddy I want to watch, I want to watch!” Thirdy repeatedly said.

“Uncle didn’t you say you were lacking a player?” Terrence looked at Zay on the screen.

“Yes do you want to join?” Terrence asked.

“Yes.” Zay answered withy batting an eye. With that the game start with Zay as an Impostor in the first round that end up in defeat when Uno saw through his lies.

“That was a good game, I’m Zay by the way.” Zay introduce himself to the twins that made Terrence very happy. He’s happy to know that his friend’s son will be friends with his sons, except that Uno can sense that there’s an ulterior motive behind that friendly introduction. When he’s done exchanging introduction with the twins he talked to his uncle. “Uncle Terrence who’s that kid over there?” Terrence looked at his youngest with his two brothers.

“He’s Thirdy my youngest.” A hint of smile appear on Zay’s lips as if he just won big time.

“Dos take Thirdy back to his room.” Dos who can also sense same danger gladly oblidged to his brother’s demand.

“Brother I think he still want to watch you play the game.” Zay said.

“Brother?” Uno sneered.

“I don’t recall having another brother except for those two.” Uno said contradicting on how Zay address him.

“Well I simply just want to respect you.” Zay answered back. The oldies are just quietly watching how the two kids who seem friendly just a while ago are now exchanging sarcastic words in sharp tone.

“If I recall it correctly you are older than I am thus I should be the one to call you brother but I won’t cause I don’t intend to have one like you.” Uno clearly rejected him with his words.

“Don’t talk like that, we still don’t know what the future holds.” Zay rebut.

“Kids kids are you both fighting?”

“Yes!” Uno said.

“No.” Zay said.

Uno looked at his father. “I don’t like him, don’t ever let him inside our house!” Uno walked out and followed his two brothers.

“Zay do you like him?” Zeejay leaned over to whisper to his son but the playful smile instantly disappear and replaced with a complete disgust.

“What makes you think so? You idiot of a father! That kid is even smarter to find out in just a mere seconds!” Zay walked out too. All the adults are thinking that the two kids dislike each other except for Zeejay who is convinced that Zay likes Uno. He made it a mission to be a bridge between the two. If he manage to that could also build a bridge between his relationship with his son. The game ended when Lee was called by Dexter, Jules said the beauty he’s been waiting is home. So Zeejay followed his son and saw him hiding.

“Hey what are you doing there… hhhmmmm” Zay pulled his father into hiding and covered his mouth to make him shut up.

“Be quiet.” Zay whispered. Zeejay gave an ok sign then Zay let go of his mouth.

“So what are you doing?” Zeejay whispered. Zay just let out a frustrating sigh and point his fingers at the door. His blood boils that he start seeing red. He wanted to kill the man who keeps on brushing his hand to Nicolas arms, while Nicolas seems oblivious about this and just keeps on smiling as he talks friendly with the guy then suddenly the man pulled Nicolas into a hug. Zeejay can no longer contain it and decided to confront the two when Zay intentionally trip him. The two was surprised with the sound of something big that fell down. Nicolas got worried when he saw Zeejay on the floor with his nose bleeding. He quickly run over to his side to help him get up. “What happened are you alright?” The man with Nicolas also helped him but Zeejay snatch his arms away from the man and glared at him.

“He was catching a mouse Mom.” Zeejay reasoned out.

“A mouse?” Nicolas was very surprised to the very fact that they do have a mouse. “A mouse in our house?”

“Yes hahaha yes. A mouse a very big one hahaha. I was chasing after it but it was so fast that I decided to go for a dive just to catch it.” Zeejay said stating the truthfulness to Zay’s reason.

“You dive?… On the floor?” Nicolas repeat, like he could not believe that there will be someone stupid enough to even dive on the floor for just a mouse when they can just call for a pest control to handle the problem.

“Yes I dive….. On the floor.” bullets of cold sweat start appearing on Zeejay’s forehead. He doesn’t want to be caught red handed lying so he keeps on wishing for Nicolas to buy their excuse.

“Ok just no more diving on the floor.” Nicolas sighed.

“Mom I think we need to send him to the hospital to have him check.” Zeejay suggested.

“I’m not that hurt….owwww ouch…” Zeejay was cut off when Zay kicked him without being noticed.

“He’s clearly hurt Mom.” Zay insisted.

“Ok we’ll bring him to the hospital.” Nicolas sighed.

“I can bring you all there.” The man presented.

“No need” Zay firmly said that even Nicolas can get the hint from that tone. “Mom I think it will be too much to bother your colleague to this kind of thing.” The man insisted but in the end what Zay want is what prevails.

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

“How nice of you to take me in the middle of the sea. Are you planning in trapping me here?” Aiden asked as he took a piece of meat to his mouth.

“I wasn’t thinking such thing!” Lance defensively said raising both of his hands to his chest as he wave it sideways to strongly disagree with it but Lance action brought laughter to Aiden’s lips.

“You don’t need to be so defensive I was just messing with you. Besides if you are really planning in doing such thing I don’t think you will succeed.” Aiden’s statement got Lance pride as a man drop to the ground. It’s like Aiden is implicating that even if he tries to trap him that thing won’t ever happen like saying he can never defeat him but Lance shake his thoughts away and just look on the brighter side.

The dinner went well both of them was able to talk and catch up. Aiden told him during the time he went overseas and study to be who he is now. They were so engross with the conversation when Lance phone rings. He was planning to just ignore it but it ring again and because Aiden is eyeing and signaling him to answer it Lance with all his confidence trying to be transparent to Aiden put his phone on speaker.

“Hey Broken 101 the game is starting.” They can hear someone coughing from the other line.

“Lee!” Lance asked a little louder he’s irritated at how his friends timing could be this great. He wanted to strangle Lee as they speak.

(Lance play with us. The boys are here and we are short in players!) Lance almost choke himself to death after Lee just blurted out all such embarrassing things specially in front of Aiden. Lance gaze to Aiden’s direction and so his eye brow rise.

“I can’t play right now. I’ll make it up to you guys on other days.” and in that moment he lower his tone and in one breath he manage to finish his sentence but Lee didn’t stop there so Lance has no choice but to pretend he lost the signal. “What I can’t hear you? N-no Yo brekin…. bud—-iy….”

“Black is Sus…. tooot tooot toooot” Lance didn’t let Lee get finish his sentence and totally cut him off.

“Who is Black?” Aiden asked while he cut the meat with his knife.

“Ah—- Black…. You see Lee has a dog…. yeah right a dog. He named it Black. Yeah Black.”

“Ok, what about your new name? Broken 101? Are you broken Lance?” Aiden asked it out as a joke but Lance took it seriously and honestly answered him.

“Yes I am and till now if you will going to ask me I’m still am but having you near me again is helping in mending my broken heart.” Aiden’s smile disappear.

“You still love Liam.” He said.

“I do. I have loved him whole heartedly” Aiden put down both of his fork and knife and looked Lance straight to his eyes. Lance is there a chance for you to love me as much as you love him? Cause if not I think we need to stop. It will be unfair to both of us to continue this…..”

“Aiden you may be him but you are not him either. I love him but it doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings for you. I’m just starting to get to know you, it’s not enough that I just love you I also want to get to know you. I don’t want you to duel with your own thoughts whether I just loved you because you are Liam that’s why I’m trying my best to get to know you as Aiden so I can proudly and honestly say I love you Aiden and not because you’re Liam.”

“You love me as Aiden?” Lance was still talking when suddenly Aiden asked him a question with a playful smile on his lips.

Lance stopped from talking and blushed from his sudden reveal of his feelings.

“You’re blushing, how cute. So since when?” Aiden rested his elbows on the table and rested his chin at the back of his hands.

“Ahhh… aaahhhmmmm do you want to swim after this?” Lance asked that only made Aiden laughed hard. He was already holding his stomach with his both arms.

“Lance you do know that it’s dark and cold now and you’re suggesting for us to go swim? Hhhmmm you are clearly avoiding the subject. Definitely black is suspicious, Lee is right.”

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

Both Zeejay and Zay hide and peek when they heard Nick opened the door but didn’t went straight away inside instead the man stand on the doorway talking with someone. Since the two can’t clearly hear what the two says they decided to move closer.

“No I insist, I was really embarrass when I couldn’t even properly send you off last night.” They hear Nick says.

“You know if it’s you then it’s alright.” The man said.

“He’s here again!” Zeejay whispered.

“It has been awhile since Mom entertain someone this is bad.” Zay added.

“Your Mom entertained someone before?” Zeejay looked at his son in disbelief and Zay looked at him unbelievably.

“Of course! Mom is pretty do you think some Alpha will just pass a beauty like that! Besides Mom was still young back then and he needs someone to be a father figure for me. he just stopped when I told him I don’t need one him is enough. But why is he entertaining again?” Zay start thinking why? He didn’t gave his uncle Drake a chance but now he’s giving other Alphas a chance? Zay is not against with his mother finding a new flame but he doesn’t want just someone he wanted that someone to be a person who will truly care and love his mother and none of those men fit in the qualifications other than his uncle Drake.

“Damn it, why now? If he wanted to be courted then why don’t just let me court him. I’m very much willing to.” Zeejay blurted out but that only made Zay angry that he intentionally stepped on his foot.

“Ouch damn it that hurts!”

“Don’t be so loud they’ll hear us.” The two start bickering and wasn’t able to properly listen till they saw the man kissed Nick. Zeejay heart sunk, he didn’t know it would hurt this much to see Nick kissing someone. He remembers the time when he used to kiss people while Nicolas was watching. He used to sleep with someone with Nicolas knowledge and thought it was ok on Nick’s part because the Omega agree to be in a no string attached relationship with him. If a simple kiss hurt him that much how about the thought of Nicolas sleeping with others. Zeejay won’t let such thing happen.

In the end Nicolas invited the man in. Zeejay and Zay move to the couch and pretend to be in there the whole time. Nicolas greeted the both of them.

“Hey boys having fun?” Nicolas asked. He’s now finally happy and his heart is at ease. Ever since the day he saw the two playing he felt somehow complete and at the same time not. Melvin the man who kissed him is someone who has been courting him since they came back. He figured that since Zeejay and Zay are already settled him and Zeejay are already ok and clear the only thing that is lacking is him and his love life. His son has already given him the go signal and he thought that it won’t be bad to try and date someone. Drake would have been a great catch but something happened and it seems Drake no longer loves him, he’s still in denial but Drake is definitely in love with someone else now.

“Yeah Dad sucks!” Zeejay was taken aback when Zay called him Dad for the first time but regardless in Nicolas knowledge it was just a stage set up to bigger play that his son is preparing to make the man run away.

Nicolas was happy hearing it and he is also happy with the news he’s about to bring. “Ok then finish that up and we will eat dinner.” Nicolas went outside of the living room and went to the dinning area to prepare the dinner.

“You called me Dad? Call me again!” Zeejay demanded after Nicolas left.

“Keep dreaming, I will only call you Dad for my plan. I have a bad feeling about that man. We need to send him off, I don’t want him near my mother.” Zeejay said.

“I have a plan.” Zeejay whispered to Zay.

“That’s so childish!” Zay protested.

“You wanted him to go away quickly then that’s the fastest way!” Zeejay insisted.

“Ok then, you do the deed I’ll do the distraction.” Zay suggested.

“Deal.” Zeejay agreed. Both father and son went to the kitchen but it was Zay who first came inside.

“Mom where’s my camera?” Nicolas look at him with a questioning look.

“What do you need it for?” Nicolas asked his son.

“For school we need it for school.”

“Can I get it later?” Nicolas negotiate.

“No, no I need it now like pronto now!” Zay insisted.

“Ok, Ok.” When the two got out of the kitchen. Zeejay sneek in, he looked all the take outs and other dishes that Nicolas is preheating. He pick one dish and pour a laxative whole bottle of laxative in there, and when it’s time for dinner. All four of them seated on the table.

“Ahhmm everyone this is Melvin, Melvin this is my son that I’m talking about Zay. Zay say hi to uncle Melvin.” Zay introduce himself and said his regards to the man.

“And this one here is Zeejay he is my friend he usually visits the house and play with Zay. Their relationship is pretty good.” Zeejay doesn’t want to greet and accept the hand of the man and left it hanging. Nicolas got irritated and simply kick him under the table.

“He’s my Dad.” Zay said straight to the point.

“Dad?” Melvin repeat.

“Yes my biological father. My X chromosome came from my mother which is him and my Y chromosome came from my father.” The man looked at him with confusion.

“I don’t understand.” Melvin said.

Zay sighed. “They had sex and then me is the result now you understand?” Nicolas cleared his throat, he was caught up in a very weird situation. He knows that Zay didn’t intentionally do that cause that just how his son talks.

“That was all in the past it has been more than 12 years. We really never had a relationship in the first place so it’s ok. Zay understands it so it’s ok, Zeejay and I are very civil.” Nicolas explained.

“Nicolas likes handsome men. He was in love with me back then ouch!”

“Yeah I’m into men with handsome face that’s why I’m dating you haven’t I?” Nicolas hold the man’s cheek but Zeejay on the other hand wanted to kill the man. He can’t believe that the situation is far more serious than he was expecting.

“You two are dating?” Zeejay asked.

“Yeah, Zay uncle Melvin and I are dating. He’s a good man and he treats me nicely. He also loves kids and he said he’s very excited to spend more time with you.” Zay showed the man a big and exciting smile. Zeejay felt betrayed.

“Of course. I told Mom before that I wasn’t against him marrying. He has been single for a very long time now. So it’s ok for me. Uncle why don’t you try this. Mom cooked it.” Zay pour in lots of curry to Melvin’s plate after that Nicolas asked his son to also pour him some but Zay pretended to accidentally flip the bowl and spill all it’s content. Zeejay presented to clean the mess and just let all three of them to eat. When they start eating it hasn’t been 10 minutes when Melvin felt something wrong with his stomach. Bullets of sweats start appearing and even though he feels very embarrassed he asked Nicolas for the restrooms direction. He went in and out of the toilet. Because things are no longer looking good Nicolas decided to call an ambulance. He didn’t went with him cause Zay pretended that he too was not feeling well.

The two thought that the plan succeeded until. “Zay are you really feeling not good?” Nicolas asked.

“Yes Mom my stomach hurts.” Tell me honestly. Zay know that looks it means that he really need to tell the truth this time.

“No I was not. I just don’t want Mom to go with him so I lied.” Zay said.

“How about what happened to Melvin?” Zay knows that Nicolas already know the truth and is testing him if he will tell the truth or he will lie.

“Yes and no. I wasn’t the culprit but I was an accomplice to the crime. Dad pour in a Laxative on the curry.” Nicolas sat on his son’s bed.

“Did you not like Uncle Melvin?” Nicolas asked.

“I don’t like him.”

“You don’t like him cause you don’t know him just yet. Try to get to know him first and if you don’t really like him then of course Mom will still choose you.” Nicolas explained.

“How about your Dad? Do you want Dad and me to get back together?” Nicolas asked. If his son said so he will give Zeejay a chance just to give his son a whole family.

“I don’t want you to marry just because of me. If you’ll end up with Dad then I want it because you love him and not just because of me.” Nicolas hug his son.

“Of course and for that I’m thankful.” He pulled out from the hug. “Try to get along with uncle Melvin ok? Don’t do that again. I’ll talk to your Dad about this.”

“Dad just act on my own whim. I asked him to do it. I was the one who planned it don’t scold him Mom.”

“I understand now go to sleep.” When Nicolas left he immidiately dialed Zeejay’s number.

“You are so doom. My mother wanted me to give the man a chance and try to get along with him. I even pulled of the I don’t mind you marrying my Mom but still he insisted me to get along with that man. Damn sperm donor Melvin might end up my father if we don’t so something! My mother will talk to you ok that’s all got to go, deal with him on your own.” Zay ended the call and didn’t even let Zeejay to speak even a single word.

On the other house. “Fuck!” It hasn’t been that long when the phone call ended when someone pushed the doorbell.

“Nick what are you doing here. Come inside.” Zeejay said.

“No I won’t stay long. Zee don’t do such thing again or I might end up getting really angry this time.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“Don’t play innocent. You put something on Melvin’s food. Please don’t mess this up for me. I’m getting old, I’m slowly getting wither and I’m not as young as before this might be my chance to finally be happy. Zay and you are now ok, you and me we are ok. I think it’s finally time to think about myself. I got pregnant at early age, I dated a few times and slept with others cause as an Omega I needed it. I stopped it because of Zay but an absence of that for a very long time is already causing harm to my body. I’m getting old, unmark and untouched. you know what it means right? Please don’t ruin this for me. I’m not doing this out of desperation but I think he could be the one.”

“You don’t need to find a partner. I can give you that…..”

“What to be your sex partner again? What will happen next? We two will create another Zay? It was really awkward explaining to Melvin our situation but what’s more embarrassing is the fact that we have no relationship back then. I feel so low because of too much embarrassment but I’m still thankful to Melvin, I talked to him over the phone and he said it’s ok, he doesn’t think of me any less after knowing that. Zee we agreed right?”

“Yeah, we did but I just want to answer you with your questions earlier. I don’t want you to be my sex partner, I want you to be my partner in life. I won’t just make you my partner in life but I will also put my mark on you so deep and big so that anyone who’ll see it will know that you belong to me. Yes we will create another Zay but I don’t want it to be like Zay. Zay is an Alpha, I would want it to be an Omega just like you, an Omega who looks like you.” Zeejay tuck in a strand of hair behind Nicola’s ear. He looked at Nicolas who silently just staring at him.

“Omega? Like me?” Zeejay step forward and hug Nicolas.

“Yes just like you. Me and Zay will protect him so you don’t need to be worried if you give birth to one. Zay will be an over protective brother and I will be a strict and protective father.” For a moment Nicolas felt happy that Zeejay will be happy to be a father of his Omega child if he ever give birth to one but that thought got cut off when he realized that will never going to happen. His relationship with Zeejay is already perfect as it is now. If he let himself fall for him again, hope in him again and love him again he doesn’t know this time how he will handle the after math of breakage if he betrays his love for him again. That might destroy their relationship for good. Nicolas couldn’t gamble to that.

“Zee I have to go.” Nicolas break free from the hug. “Please be good to Melvin. Don’t do it again.”

“Nick I’m serious.” Nicolas stop for a moment then went his way back to his apartment. When he got inside his room Nicolas drop on the floor hug both his legs.

“It’s better this way. Nick you are doing the right thing. It’s the best for everyone, you can’t ruin things again just because you are greedy. You already tried how many times and they all end up ugly. Things are better now, I need to be contented. I can’t be greedy.”

When Melvin got out of the hospital Nicolas invited him to dinner date outside. His heat is also near so he thought this might be a good opportunity to give himself to him. He trust the man, it’s good to have his body familiarize with the man’s pheromones after all it will be the first time after years of having none. He ready the contraceptive pills and things he might need, even change of undies. His heat is getting out of hand and his doctor has been telling him the absence of an Alpha pheromones while mating is what’s causing it specifically to Omegas who are unmarked. Neither did he know that Zay heard his mother’s conversation but has no idea with his plan.

“Where are they? Is this the right place?” Zeejay asked.

“This is the right place. You have no sense of fashion when it comes to disguising. I look like an obese nerd boy and you? you look like a fat old man!”

“Just deal with it son, this is for your mother.” Zeejay counter say.

“This is childish I must say!” Zay whisper yell at Zeejay.

“Sssshhhhhh there they are don’t be noisy they’ll notice us.” Zeejay tried to make his son quiet.

“But this is absurd why I have to be dressed up like this? If we had just stick to my plan those two won’t even be out in a place like this!” Zay whisper yell again to his father.

“Who do you think ruined the plan in the first place? If you just denied it then we wouldn’t have been caught doing the crime.” Zeejay angrily answered his boy’s question.

“What kind of father will teach his son to lie!” Zeejay answer back.

“Why? You lie so great in that game! Why can’t you lie for a little to your mother?!”

“I’m not like you a lier who always lies to Mom! That’s why he doesn’t want to get back to you cause your a liar?!” Zeejay argued.

“Why you! So you want that man who look like a horse to be your father then?” Zeejay looked at the man that his mother having dinner with. His appearance is far from resemblance of a horse as a matter of fact the man is good looking but not as good looking at his father but still he doesn’t want his mother to marry such man. From one look Zay can already tell that the man only wants to get inside his mother’s pants.

“No of course not!”

“Then don’t complain and just stick to the plan.”

“Just for now I’ll cooperate with you but don’t think just because I’m working with you means that I acknowledge you. Don’t give me that friendship craft I can see your real objective you Jerk!” Zay said stating the fact.

Zeejay gasp with what he just heard.” You said the J word I’m going to tell your mother!”

“Who do you think he will believe between the two of us? You always lie to my mother!” Zay sneered.

“I’m the person that your mother’s in love too.” Zeejay answered back.

“He just loves you but he loves me more. His love for me weights more than his love for you.” Zay rebut.

“He loves me?” Zeejay asked trying to confirm just what his son revealed.

Zay didn’t answer, it was just a spur in the moment but the fact remains. He knows even if his mother won’t tell him and deny it to him, his mother still loves his father.

“I didn’t say anything.” Zay averted his eyes and looked at the table where his mother is seating with Melvin. “Let’s just watch them for now.”

“You told me he loves me.” Zeejay doesn’t want to let it pass, it’s like a glimmer of hope suddenly shine for him.

“What is it to you if he still loves you? You’ll only end up hurting him again.” Zay is getting more and more irritated the more Zeejay asked.

“I won’t hurt him anymore. I will cherish, take care of him and love him more than anything and anyone. Give me a chance Zay, I promise I won’t hurt him anymore. All I want is a chance Zay, a chance that’s all I’m asking. Does he still loves me son?”

“I’m not sure, it’s just base to my own observation. Go confirm it yourself. If you really want my mother back work hard for it. Don’t depend on me just because I’m your son.” What Zay just told him put a smile on Zeejay’s face. It’s his son is giving him a go signal to court Nicolas.

“Yes of course! I’ll try my best and I promise I won’t mess it up again.” Zeejay said enthusiastically.
