**************************
(Lee, where are you?) Lee looked at the caller ID on the screen of his phone to see who called him.
"We are at the lobby, what about you? We have been waiting for you?" Lee is getting really impatient they have been waiting for Terrence to come since lunch time but no Terrence came. It's already quarter to 6 and yet he sees no Terrence dropping off the hospital.
(I'm upstairs with Theo's Mom. I already spoken with her. I'll go to where you are.) Lee decided to tell Terrence to meet them at the restaurant just in front of the hospital, for they can't crowd inside and that many visitors is not allowed. Minutes later they saw Terrence walking towards them with Nick beside him. Lee gestured them to sit after greeting them.
"So what happened? What took you so long?" Lee said feeling nervous about the news that his friend was about to bring.
"I spoke with your parents they invited me and we talked about your brother and Theo's case." Lee froze with what Terrence just revealed.
"What did they said?" Lee doesn't want to hear and yet at the same time he wanted to know.
"They asked me to give Theo the justice he deserves. I'm sorry Lee it must have been hard for both you and your family." Terrence apologize. Lee tried to hold back his tears.
"Don't worry my brother deserves it he's just simply paying for every wrong he did to Theo. What matters now is for us to find a heart for him."
"About that, Auntie wants to take Theo home." Terrence informed.
"W-why? It would be best if he'll received the treatments and operation here." Lee is confused and upset. It hasn't been that long since he and his best friend reunited and here he is hearing that the Omega will be going home to where his family are.
"That's what his family wanted." Nicolas answered Lee's question. "It is still his parents right to make a call on what is right for their son."
"What if Theo won't permit?" Lee asked again.
"This is what Theo has been wanting ever since he came back here." Nicolas answered.
"He's right. Theo has been wanting to return back to his family he just doesn't know how but since it's his family who's taking him back then I think Theo will come with them." Terrence added.
"Don't be sad Lee, it's not like you don't have money to cross countries just to see Theo for crying out loud your family owns a fucking private plane!" Adrian said shouting a little that made the other people in the restaurant look at their table.
"Could you please shut up you are embarrassing us all." Lee whispered yell at Adrian but Adrian leaned forward to tease his friend. "Now you know how we feel everytime you do something embarrassing as that." Lee immidiately hit Adrian on the head with his fist.
"Kids!" Nick commented. Somehow what happened lifted up the tension and replaced by laughter.
"Nicolas I didn't know that you are here?" Lee asked. Nicolas raised his eye brow.
"Why are you my parents for me to report to you where am I?" Retort.
"I'm just asking! Why are you so quiet, I'm not used to seeing you so quiet you usually has something to say." Lee noticed that ever since coming Nicolas has been very quiet he answers questions and talk sometimes but not in a manner that is so Nicolas like.
"Why do care?" Nicolas is getting irittated by the minute. He hates the fact that the others are here also, he thought that it will be just Terrence, Lee and him but the other three are also here.
"Wow that's a first! The Nicolas who always so cheerful and noisy is so quiet, fierce and annoyed today! Whatever happened to the Nicolas that we knew?!" Adrian asked teasing the Omega. "You used to go around sticking like a bubble gum to Zeejay, you even openly declared that you love him forever and that you will always be his number one fan and that you will follow him to the ends of the world."
Nick looked at Adrian like he was about to kill a person. "Well he changed, that Omega was already gone if you don't have anymore questions please excuse me I need to go to the bathroom." Nick really got up to leave the table.
"Don't tease him Adrian, Nick's not in the mood to play with your jokes." Lance advice, he can see anger to Nicolas eyes he doesn't know to whom or the reason but he's certain the Omega harbors resentment to either one of them or maybe his eyes are just deceiving him.
"I was just stating the fact that man is so serious when he never one to begin with. That reminds me he didn't go gaga and crazy over Zeejay this time that's new?" Adrian looked at Zeejay who looks like he's thinking deep. "Zee what happened to Nick? Did the two of you fight or something?"
"How can we fight when I haven't seen him for almost 7 years?" Zeejay said annoyingly. Lance is now sure that Nicolas behavior has something to do with Zeejay base on how the Alpha reacted. It is very uncommon for Zeejay to act so serious not to mention being angry for something but somehow he can feel his thick pheromones emitting along with his feelings of frustration.
Liam suddenly cough feeling the oppressing pheromones the Zeejay is releasing even though it was just a little. "Zeecontrol yourself, your pheromones is leaking. I have here my wife better cool down your head." Lance said calmly but the commanding tone is very evident in his voice.
"Excuse me I just need to breath some fresh air." Zeejay excused himself. Adrian was about to tell the Alpha that the way outside is in the other direction but Terrence stopped him. Lance knew that Terrence did noticed.
"Why did you stopped me? The way outside is in the opposite direction to where he is heading!"
"You dense freak if you can't take a hint then just shut up." Terrence hit Adrian to his head. "Just eat and don't mind other people's business."
"You really are clueless sometimes." Lance added. He wonder what kind of person that will make Adrian fall amongst them friends he is the most dense and clueless reading the atmosphere.
Nicolas didn't expect to see the person waiting for him outside the restroom *or is he really waiting for him?* Nicolas thought. *That's impossible Zeejay won't wait for anyone it's not his nature to wait specially to person like him.* Nicolas just shrugged all the thoughts running inside his head and jus choose to ignore the alpha who is leaning on the wall. He walked passed by Zeejay only to be grabbed by his hand.
"Is there any problem?" Nicolas asked calmly with a cold voice.
"Why didn't you tell me that you are here, how long have you been staying, why didn't you tell me that you were leaving, why didn't you keep in touch with me. I looked for you everywhere." Zeejay asked all that questions in one breath.
Nicolas blows a loud breath before removing the Alphas hand that was holding his arm before turning around to face Zeejay. "Why should I tell you when there's nothing between us." Nicolas move closer to Zeejey till there are just inches apart. "I'm just happened to be a fan that turned to be your sex partner, nothing more nothing less but that was before.... I'm sorry but I'm no longer a fan of yours and I also don't want to be fucked by you." Nicolas turned around to go back to their table when Zeejay grabbed him once again only to be dragged back inside the rest room. Zeejay pushed him against the wall after he made sure to lock the door.
"Why is there someone who's fucking you now?" Zeejay growl in anger, anger at the thought someone else touched Nicolas other than him.
Nicolas smirk and looked at Zeejay in the eyes."What is it to you if there is someone else now?" He lifted his right hand to hold and slightly caress Zeejay's face. "You have been fucking other people when you were fucking me too back then. It's not a big deal for Omega like me to seek for the warmth of an alpha that can ease out the pain that brought by our heat cycles after all I'm still unmarked."
Zeejay could not believe what he was hearing. Nicolas who was head over heels in love with him back then is saying cold things as that too him so casually. Like he no longer has any feelings for him.
"It's impossible that in those years we have been apart that you didn't have sex with other people that would be so unlike you." Nicolas slightly pushed Zeejay so he can go out from Zeejay's arms and body that is cornering him against the wall.
"What happened to you?" Zeejay said without thinking.
"I woke up from my delusional beliefs, that's what happened." Nicolas promised to himself not to let himself to fall again for the man he can't let it happen again this time. He was still thinking when his phone rings. Nicolas took his phone out and looked at the caller ID.
"If you please excuse me I need to take this call."
"Answer it, I don't mind." Zeejay commanded, he wants to know who is the caller that's making Nicolas nervous.
Nicolas is torn between answering and not answering it's not everyday that he gets to talk with the person who is calling him and he really misses him so he made up his mind to answer the call.
"Hey baby..." Nicolas greeted as soon as he answered the call. Zeejay can see how the expression of the Omega suddenly softens upon talking to the person on the other line and it made him really angry. That soft expression was his before but now it seems that the Omega is already giving it to other people than him.
"Yeah I missed you too, I'll be home soon and when I do we will go out to wherever you want, Yeah and we will eat to that place too. Whatever my baby wants." Zeejay felt guilty, he never once took the Omega out before, they can't eat in public, go in public because he is a celebrity and the last thing he wants is to be spotted dating with an Omega. So for years that Nicolas has been chasing him like a love sick fool the only date he was able to give him was the times they spent fooling around in bed doing nasty things.
"I need to go baby, will you make some time tomorrow and call me? I want to hear your voice it makes me very happy. Alright, I love you bye." The three words that Nicolas uttered for the other person in the phone made his heart aches. The words that the Omega used to say to are now being told to someone else. He didn't know that he will feel jealous, anger, envy and most of all regret.
Nicolas looked at him. "What is it that you want? Tell me so I can go now." Zeejay looked at how Nicolas expression change as soon as the phone call ends to the moment he looked at him.
"Who is that person who called you?" Zeejay felt Nicolas tensed up but was immidiately able to composed himself.
"He is the most special person to me right now. The person that I love. Now that I answered your question please let me go. There's no point for you to do this thing. What we had ended years ago."
"You're the only who ended it not me." Zeejay answered back.
"You got angry when I told you that I really love you, You tossed me aside when I asked for more than what we had back then telling me you don't do relationships. You block my calls and didn't even bother seeing me again. When I confronted you, you told me you got fed up with me and you don't want to have anything to do with a Omega like me in your life." Nicolas pulled Zeejay by his collar to move his face closer to him.
"You ended it first not me. It's freedom to choose for myself my own happiness by moving on from you and accepting the reality. Don't go around telling me that I was the one who ended it when you were the one who pushed me away.... Besides if you really looked for me everywhere I think you might be able to find me if you really wanted to." Nicolas pushed Zeejay hard so he could walk pass him. He came back to their table not to join them but to tell them that he will be going home now.
"Where is Nick?" Zeejay asked as soon as he get back to his table.
"Ow, ow, someone here is missing some attention..." Adrian teased Zeejay who just arrived.
"I'm asking where he is?"
"He went home." Terrence answered.
"Where is he living? I need to talked to him." Zeejay asked desperately.
"Zee, I don't think this is the right time to speak with him. I don't know the issues between you two but it's clear based from his actions that he doesn't want to speak with you. We all know how Nick thinks if he wanted to speak with you he will if he doesn't he won't." Terrence said trying to convince his friend.
"Yeah but this is Zeejay that we are talking about Nick always wants to talk to him even though he is angry at him he always gives in. Zee I think you already lost a fan." Adrian commented while laughing.
Zeejay went over to where Adrian is seated and pulled him up by his collar. "Shut up! Don't say such absurd thing or I might forgot that you are my friend." With that said Zeejay pushed Adrian and storm out of the restaurant.
Adrian looked at them confused to what just happened. "What?" Everyone who noticed just sight at Adrian's obliviousness to the situation.
"What do you think Lance?" Lance looked at Terrence through the rearview mirror. Nicolas took Terrence car earlier to go home so here now tagging along with him and Liam for him to get back home.
"What do you mean?" Lance asked back
"I mean those two. I didn't know that there's something going on between those two aside from the fact that Nick has been obsessing over Zeejay before." Lance looked back at Terrence from the rearview Mirror.
"I have no idea, Nick just suddenly vanished and went back to his hometown. Zeejay didn't even bothered looking for him and went on with his life as an actor doing movies to different countries. It's just recently that Zeejay came back here." Liam looked at his Husband while he gave his answer to Terrence question.
"Theo's friend is obsessed with Zeejay?" Liam asked.
"I think that was before, base from what just happened it appears that Nick no longer harbors the same feelings as he had before." Terrence answered.
"Nicolas always clings on to Zeejay, he always chase after him even though Zeejay always runs away from him. Zee is not the kind of man who's into a serious relationship so I don't think that he will make a move in grabbing Nick's advances to him back then." Lance was thinking that maybe just maybe something did Happened between the two but that would be impossible with how Zeejay is Lance thought.
"That would be impossible, If Zee grab Nick's advances that would be asking for trouble. Zee doesn't want commitments he just wants to fuck and Nick wants commitment they can't be together and have a relationship while having two contradicting goals. Zee won't go into that kind of relationship." Terrence commented.
"But how would you explained what happened earlier?" Lance asked the question that brings them back to the mystery of the two's relationship with each other.
"I'll go talk to Nick later. I'll asked him." Terrence just suggested, for there's no point in them trying to answer a question that they don't have a clue about it.
"I'll go asked Zee maybe he could provide me some informations." Lance volunteer.
"Are you two trying to play cupid again? I thought it was just my husband who loves to meddle on his friends love affair it turns out that you too Terrence is the same with him." Liam commented.
"Love when did I play cupid to my friends love life?" Lance asked defensively.
"Well on Terrence love life. You new that the man he was looking for is Chester so you tricked him in fetching me up from the coffee shop so he and Chester could meet up." Liam said telling him how his Husband meddle on Terrence love affair.
"Yeah I remember that Lance. Your wife is right." Terrence seconded agreeing to what Liam just said.
"Then you should be thanking me if it wasn't for me you will still be a lost puppy with no Chester to return to."
Liam just sight at the two and just let the two Alphas talk and plan on how will they going to extract some information about the two. Maybe letting these two play cupid can actually make another Omega like him find a home just like how he and Chester was able to find home on these two Alphas.
***************************
Terrence got home and went straight to his children's room to see his two boys. It became a habit of his that whenever he gets home late he always always seen to it that he will see his boys before he goes to bed, after he's done he went to his room to see his sleeping wife. He looked at Chester's sleeping face, ever since Theo he has not able to spend time with Chester although the Omega always offers to accompany him he always turns it down he doesn't want Chester to frequently goes to the hospital and other places that might tire him out specially now that he is already in his 9th month.
"Hhhhmmm.... Terry?" Chester asked half asleep.
"Hhhmmmm? Did I wake you up?" Terrence asked sweetly.
"Hhhmmm no, that's ok I also wanted to see you." Chester move closer to hug his Husband's waist while still laying on the bed.
"You missed me?" Terrence asked, he finds it cute that Chester is being all cuddly to him.
"Yeah I missed you. You didn't call, it's actually the first that you didn't call." Chester said eyes are still closed.
"I'm sorry I got really busy and my battery is dead. Did I made you worry?"
"Yeah, I got so worried that I asked Liam if he had seen you."
Terrence laugh inwardly at how adorable his wife is. "What were you worried about? Me getting into some sort of trouble or me hitting on and having an affair to others?"
"Both, I thought you got into an accident or something or that you were hitting on someone. I can't help but feel worried after all my husband got the looks, money and power, he's smart too and cool."
"Sounds like my wife is complementing me. Don't worry I only have eyes for you."
"Terry I have something to say. Will you helped me?" Chester asked.
"Ow now I know why I was showered with complements just now." Terrence said jokingly. Chester pinch Terrence on his side that made the Alpha winced in pain.
"That Hurst Kitten...." Terrence rub the part where Chester pinched. "That hurts Kitten." Chester was about to pinch his side went Terrence concede defeat. "Enough enough kitten let's go back to what we are talking about? What is my Kitten wanted to asked?"
"Hhhhmmm Remember Nadia? The niece of my father's partner?" Terrence didn't say anything, how can he forget it was the woman who attacked his wife with pheromones.
"Do you remember her?" Chester lifted himself up so he can sit properly which Terrence help.
"Yeah. So what about her?" Terrence asked bitterly.
"I happened to see her this afternoon. She got herself into a trouble so me and Damian help her." Worried filled Terrence asked and immidiately inspect his wife's body to see if he got himself hurt as he tried to help others. "Where you hurt?"
"No Terry I'm fine, going to back what I'm saying."
Terrence looked so disappointed. "You really don't have regards to your safety. Haven't you learned from what happened to your Boss's wife Keith? You told me before that his wife fell into coma for years just because helped others and in the process got himself like that! Do you want me to end up like Pierce?!"
"T-Terry, I didn't mean it to be that way besides Damian was with me I know he won't let something happened to me you made sure of that right?" Chester hold his Husband's hand and use his other hand to turn Terrence face so he could look at him. "It's not a bad thing to help people who are in need just like what you are doing. You always help people. I also want to be able to help in my own ways."
Terrence grab Chester's hand that was holding hi face and took it away from his face. "We are different Kitten, I'm a man...."
"But I'm a man too!" Chester lost his temper.
"Yes you are but we are different, I can handle myself just fine when in front of danger. I can make someone shiver by just my presence, and I can make someone wish they never knew me." It was the first time that Chester had seen Terrence darkened expression towards him he didn't know that the coldness to his voice and presence and that shooting stares can make him sweat out of fear.
"Terry you are scaring me." Chester said who is about to cry.
With only just that Terrence got back to his senses, he closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. A lot of things are happening, he's dealing a case against his friends family and their is a high chance that Theo might die. He doesn't want to add to his thinking the possibilities that his wife might be doing hero stuff to save others that might result him getting hurt.
"I'm sorry Kitten I'm just tired. Go to bed I'll follow I just need to get some fresh air." Terrence got up and left their room. Terrence went to where Nicolas has been sitting when he got home, he already noticed him earlier but since his family comes first he choose to just let the guy alone since it seems that Nick also didn't noticed that he got home already.
"Mind it I join you?" Nicolas looked at him.
"I didn't know that you got home already." Nicolas said after that he took a sip to whiskey from the glass he's holding.
"How would you noticed when you are so lost in your own thoughts." Terrence retorted.
"Can I have some?" Terrence asked.
"Then go get yourself your own glass." Nicolas said. Terrence lazily got up to get himself a glass in the kitchen. When he came back Nicolas poured his glass with whiskey.
"Why are you drinking, got into some fight with Chester?" Nicolas asked.
"Not really a fight I just got angry a bit. Your new friend doesn't listens to me. He always always disregards his safety to help others even those people who hurted him. Why do I have to get married to such stubborn, too soft hearted person." Terrence complained that made Nicolas laugh.
"Why can you bare to see Chester married to someone else?" Nicolas teased, the Alpha only looks like he's complaining and regretting being married to his wife but Nicolas knows that Terrence could not let Chester go, he just loves the Omega too much. for the past two months he has been with them he already proves that.
"To heck with that even if he's already bonded with someone even before we met I will surely going to get rid of that person so I can have my Kitten all to myself."
"Such possessiveness.... Scary, I'm surprised that you don't creep your wife out with that darkside of your." Nicolas take another sip.
"Do you think will get really scared if he knows?" Terrence asked. The part of his life that Chester doesn't know.
"Knows how dark you can get? Or just how bad ass his Husband?"
"Both, I mean what I do before. I'm not embarrass with my decisions before it save a lot of people's lives but if we are going to put it in normal people's perspective they'll only think that I'm just a murderer using the word saving as an excuse." Terrence finished his glass in one go.
"Maybe that's also the reason why I don't trust people easily. I have seen lots of form of betrayals because of that line of work."
"Terrence you are so Jaded." Nicolas commented.
"Can't blame me for that. In the line of work I had before and the line of work I have now I have seen different kinds of people." Terrence laugh. "What about you why are you drinking? Where is that Vexing Nick that we all know? You just went from super talkative Nick to totally shut tight clamp."
Nicolas didn't say a word, Terrence noticed the serious expression on his face the moment he brought up the topic. "Was it about Zee? What happened between you two?" Terrence asked.
"Nothing, I just realized that I no longer his fan that's all." Nicolas answered hoping that it will shrugged off Terrence question, but Terrence is not a lawyer for nothing.
"Based from what happened earlier it doesn't seems nothing for me. You were awfully quiet earlier, you scowl at Zee, Zee said he will go outside but when he came back the first thing he asked was you. You went home by yourself and took my car and now you are drinking. I don't think this is nothing Nick. You can tell me anything I promise I won't tell even with Zee." Nicolas looked at him.
"Let's just say that me and Zee had an agreement before. I thought that time all my chasing paid off. I agreed not to demand more than what he can offer me. We didn't tell a soul cause that's what he wanted so when are in front of you guys he acts like I don't exist and that he doesn't care. We fuck when he wants, where he wants regardless what time. I always made sure to have time for him even if it is in the middle of the night. Specially when he entered the entertainment world. I was his fan even before people go to know him, I thought if I just do anything that can make him happy and satisfied maybe he could catch some feelings towards me. It went on for years but 7 years ago I got knocked up from my delusions and finally gave up. It's not so bad that I would want to find someone who can reciprocate my feelings. It's not so bad for me to want to know how it feels to love and beloved." Nicolas smiled bitterly.
"So have you found him the person who can give you happiness?" Terrence asked.
"Hhhmmm yeah, It was 7 years ago that I found him and it has been 6 years that we have been together. He is my happiness just having him by my side is more than enough for me. I don't need Zee anymore to give me happiness Zai is enough." Terrence can see the soft smile on the Omega's lips upon mentioning the name Zai.
"Poor Zee then, he lost something so precious." Terrence commented.
"He didn't lost anything, from the start he doesn't have a plan in keeping me so it's not really a big deal for him if I disappear from his life." Nicolas was so convinced from his own thoughts but that's not how Terrence see the situation for Zeejay. If what Terrence and Lance's thoughts are right then it will be their friends biggest lost if he himself can't figured out his real feelings towards the Omega specially now that the Omega already has someone special in his life.
