Aiden didn't have more than an hour of sleep. He just didn't know how to have a talk with Philip on boundaries and space.
Truth to God, he didn't even remember how they used to meet in the past and his past with Mia gave him nothing on how to deal with a constant distraction in the house.
He was behind on his works and his brain was nothing but, mush. To make matters worse? He sees Philip's naked body on the bed, sleeping soundly. Maybe, he needs to put on a distance between them.
"The bed is big and comfy, come and try it" Suggested Philip as he woke up and stretch on the bed lazily. What a night last night was.
"How do I insert a tab?" Asked Aiden distractedly eyeing Philip from the floor.
"By drinking in the bar with no money on you and especially when you know the owner" Tried Philip to help Aiden, "But, I get a feeling we are talking about different tabs"
"Not really. Good morning, monkey" Greeted Aiden after walking to Philip on the bed. He honestly wanted to just kiss him good morning but, his body wanted more. A curse indeed.
"Okay, that's enough" Said Philip putting an end to their kissing session, "I need to pee and wash up"
"I'll be here waiting then" Said Aiden like a good boy before remembering the workload he left on his laptop, "Or not"
"Are you okay, Aiden?" Asked Philip when he saw the face Aiden made. Like he was torn.
"I don't think I am" Said Aiden confused.
"What's wrong?" Asked Philip worriedly.
"I was always good with time management and now? I don't know anymore" Said Aiden shaking his head sadly.
"I might look witchy but, I assure you... I'm no psychic. All I know is that I'm a virgo in astrology" Said Philip urging him to clarify his statement.
"I can't get anything done with you around. Can't you see that?" Said Aiden feeling frustrated.
"That's very flattering but, I reckon it's a problem for you?" Asked Philip coming back to sit on the bed with Aiden.
"You have no idea" Agreed Aiden with a sigh.
"I can move out" Suggested Philip patting Aiden on the back.
"NO! I can't have that" Said Aiden in panic, squeezing Philip's hand in fear.
"Hey, Relax nobody's dying yet" Teased Philip but, when Aiden didn't get the joke he switched back to being serious, "Then how about I get out of your sight and come back in the night?"
"That's torture" Said Aiden with a sad smile.
"Torture? Honey, In a month I'll be on set for eight months! How would you fare if you acting like a clingy baby now?" Asked Philip seriously to earn a stunned Aiden.
"You got to be kidding me" Said Aiden under his breath. Eight months?
"No, I'm not, and I thought you knew about this" Said Philip worriedly.
"How would I know when you never tell me anything!" Yelled Aiden at Philip as he stood to pace around the room like a crazy person.
"It was written in the contract!" Retorted Philip with just enthusiasm.
"I'm no lawyer! I just looked at the figure for your role" Said Aiden near tears. For eight months away from his arms.
"So, this is my fault?" Asked Philip offended by Aiden's reaction.
"I wish it was" Replied Aiden shaking his head a little.
"Take a chill pill. I'm too sober to start a fight with you now" Said Philip walking to the washroom. It was huge and beautiful but, he didn't care. He needed that distance from Aiden. How was that his fault?
Aiden on the other hand was left speechless in the bedroom. That was a fight? They were fighting? How was that fighting? Eight months away? Will he handle that?
But, he couldn't afford to waste anymore seconds and so he went back to coding, having zoom meetings, picking up useless calls from his classmates, you name it. He spent nine hours in that chair with no Philip in sight.
Worried out of his skin, he stood to walk to the bedroom and there was nobody in there making his fear worsen. Did Philip run away? But, when? Was he that focused on his work to care about reality again?
"Philip?" Called out Aiden anxiously.
"In here!" Replied Philip in a muffled voice breathlessly.
"What are you doing?" Asked Aiden controlling his laughter when he saw Philip upside down in an empty room.
"Practicing!" Answered Philip simply before returning his feet on the ground. He loved the floors in that house. Very woody. Very calming.
"So, this should be our gym?" Asked Aiden looking around the room.
"You want to have an indoor gym?" Asked Philip excitedly, shooting to stand by Aiden's side.
"I sure hope so, if I want to get my way with you every now and then" Replied Aiden awkwardly.
"Then let's use this room here!" Said Philip after dragging Aiden to another room, "It's near the outdoor shower head, and it got a sliding transparent door to the swimming pool!"
"Simply perfect" Agreed Aiden not really sure on what. If it was the idea, the person or them being their together? He felt blessed.
"Oh, you must be starving! I hope you don't mind because, I took your car to hunt for food and it's in the bedroom right now" Said Philip leading Aiden to the bedroom.
"You went back to the restaurant?" Asked Aiden impressed.
"Relax, I'm not that fragile. Plus, I can't afford to starve my boyfriend now, can I?" Said Philip with a seductive tone.
"Oh, and since we are here how about we buy furniture and decorations today?" Asked Aiden in a suggestive tone.
"We are not returning to the apartment?" Asked Philip, fear crippling in. He loved the house but, he wasn't used to it yet to spend two nights in a row.
"We will, maybe later in the evening but, for now? We are on our honeymoon!" Said Aiden carrying Philip to the master bedroom.
After settling him down, Aiden walked to his laptop and straight to the good home website pages, "Buy, everything you think we might need in this house"
"Honey, I know that I don't look it but, I love the idea of shopping till I drop" Said Philip helpfully.
"Knock yourself out" Said Aiden eating his food in a satisfied smile as he looked at how much happy and excited Philip was.
He never knew why exactly he wanted to have his own money before but, now as he looked at Philip? He was glad. It meant he could provide for him.
"Okay, before I put on the cart, how much is your limit?" Asked Philip seriously.
"The card got couple billions in it" Replied Aiden casually making Philip's jaw to drop.
"Are you a drug dealer?" Asked Philip looking at Aiden. He just doesn't show that he was that much rich.
"I'm not that exciting. I just got blessed in this life. Everything I invest in succeed that's all" Replied Aiden with a shrug.
"Then don't mind me if I do" Said Philip putting everything he wants in the cart before returning the PC to Aiden, "That's where you come in"
"I'm only good for transactions?" Asked Aiden teasingly.
"Trust me if I knew your account and passcodes, you wouldn't be playing any part in this" Replied Philip wickedly.
"Then I'm glad you have a chicken brain" Said Aiden gladly signing more than four million dollars off his bank account.
