NUNEW'S POV

- Please explain to me once again why I've been sleeping in the living room for a week... - Zee tossed the question into the air. However, no one felt like commenting on it. Unfortunately for him, there are certain matters where Nat and I understand each other without words.

- Don't count on me! - Natasitt shouted in his direction, to which the older one showed him the middle finger.

- ZeeNat... Please, stop it... You're worse than children...

- You know I can't live with others. I feel uncomfortable then. I need privacy. -  Nat responded in a slightly calmer tone, but his gaze remained defiant.

- Do you need privacy, or is it just that your right hand is not muscular enough and you need more late-night workouts, huh?

- Ouch, you idiot! - Zee retaliated at Nat, who hit him back with a pillow. Living with these two sometimes makes me feel like I'm an actor in some cheap comedy, or a father to a pair of mischievous rascals, but... their ages wouldn't match, so... let's just say I adopted them - that sounds better.

- Zee... It's okay this way. Each of us has our own space. Nobody's stepping on anyone's toes. - I added quietly. I felt a slight pang in my heart as I sensed the sad gaze from the brunette. In moments like these, I feel guilty because I know it was me who exiled him from his own room to the couch in the living room. Zee probably realized he won't achieve anything with us today either, so he grabbed his clothes lying on the dresser and disappeared behind the bathroom door.

I went to the bedroom and lay down on the bed. His bed, which I rudely took away from him... I closed my eyes, willingly surrendering to the arms of Morpheus...

- Get up, NuNew... Nu... - A gentle touch of a hand woke me up from sleep. I decided to hold off on opening my eyes for a moment and take advantage of the situation. That tender gesture knocked me off my feet. I couldn't hold back the smile. I tried with all my might, but the corners of my mouth involuntarily twitched upwards. I froze for a few seconds because I felt the boy withdrawing his hand from my face. I was terrified that my shameless attempt at acting would be exposed. I breathed a sigh of relief when I felt the warmth on my cheek again...

- I know you're not asleep... - A warm breath caressed my neck like the gentlest of caresses...

- Get up for me... - I took a deep breath because I was starting to run out of it, as Zee's tongue touched my heated skin... I quickly sat up and turned my head in the other direction to hide my blush.

Good thing he didn't come up with the idea of pulling the blanket off me, as in certain places I've already risen...

- We're going to Siam Paragon...

- No, P'. I'm not... able to. I mean, I'm not in the mood, you know!

- Nu, look at me. - Since he placed a kiss on my neck, I can't even glance at him for a moment.

- You and I... Cieloheart recently opened a boutique in the shopping center. You have to help me pick out some clothes... - I didn't know what to answer. I already felt awkward enough when we spent time together as a trio, and moments alone with Zee gave me headaches and... a faster heartbeat... Sometimes even goosebumps and... something I'm ashamed to admit to myself.

- I'm sleeping. - I closed my eyes and lowered my body back into a lying position, hoping he'd drop this hopeless idea of going out...

- Really? I didn't notice... - I thought I'd burn with embarrassment as he suddenly sat astride my hips without any warning.

- Are you coming with me or not? - He shifted his body in a way that he hovered over me, very close to my face...

- I'll be ready in 20 minutes... Well... Maybe it'll take a bit longer in the bathroom, so let's say around 40 minutes... Fine, we'll go, just please, get off me... now! - I had to agree. I had no other choice. If I said I didn't want to, I didn't know what else he might come up with to convince me. I couldn't refuse him because all I wanted at that moment was for him to move away from me... The risk was too great. I had a clear problem, and it would be even bigger if Zee realized it was because of him...

- Now you can't escape me. - I felt his breath on my lips as he spoke... He was so close...

- Hey! Z-ze-e... Do you ha-ave to- get on top of me? - Soft moans escaped my lips as my worst nightmare came true. The boy slid onto me, causing friction between us... I felt like sinking into the ground... The blanket is so thin, there was no way he wouldn't feel it. What am I supposed to do now?

- Always, when I want something. -  He gently brushed his nose against my lips and finally agreed to get off me, completely ignoring the fact that I'm... aroused...

- Be ready for me... - I am already... So much... For the love of all that's holy, Zee! I'd jump out of bed right now and smack you for the ambiguity of your statement, but for obvious reasons, I shouldn't do that...

I lay there for a few more minutes with my eyes closed, trying to regulate my breathing.

I put on some regular clothes and went out in front of the building. Zee handed me a helmet and started the motorcycle.

- Here, let me help you with that. The first time is always the worst. - He got off the bike, took the helmet from my hands, and put it on my head, and once again, I embarrassed myself... Could he ever speak to me without innuendos?

- You can tell you've never ridden such a beauty before. Don't worry. - He grabbed my hand and pulled me along. I sat behind him at a safe distance...

- It's standing still... Why is it not starting? - I asked the question and in a second, I realized how it sounded... That's not what I meant. I just shot myself in the foot.

- What?! - As I suspected, my words embarrassed the boy. Zee turned to me, and seeing how the color of my face blended with the helmet, he couldn't contain his laughter. The helmet is burgundy. Darn it! My face looks exactly the same now. No... I give up... I really can't handle these games...

- I like it fast, you know? - No, I didn't know, and I'd prefer not to discuss it.

- When you ride fast, the wind breeze gives you a sense of freedom. That's why I value fast rides. - He added after a moment, noticing how I shyly avoided his gaze.

- Can I make a wish? I'd like not to be in pain afterward because, you know... Umm... With a good slide, we can go far, but without? Are you sure you did a check-up? I hope this machine has good brakes because, well, let's not hide that she isn't in her prime anymore, in fact, just like her owner.

As I said it, I looked at him deliberately and with a malicious smile right into his eyes, achieving the intended effect. It's not like only I should be embarrassed. His cheeks were also covered with a blush.

To avoid showing myself as the weaker one, I mustered the last shreds of courage and wrapped my arms around his waist, pulling my body closer, bridging the distance between us. I felt how, after a moment, his muscles tensed in response to the proximity... I won't let you win that easily... In this clash, we have a tie today...

"No! This one doesn't suit you!"

"I prefer you in blue..."

"Try this one on..."

I sat on the couch in the waiting area, occasionally bringing in new clothes or exchanging for the wrong sizes... It turned out that the boy was very picky, and it was challenging to find something he felt comfortable in and that, according to my standards, looked good on him. Nonetheless, I tried to advise him as best as I could...

- And now? How do you rate this one?

- P'Zee, come on! Behave! We're not alone here! - I threw the first shirt I had at hand to cover him up a bit... When he came out of the fitting room wearing only jeans, he drew the attention of many people... Boldly, they stared at my friend's sculpted torso, and my friend? Well - hungry for compliments, he didn't care at all, as if the fact that he was half-naked in public space didn't bother him. At first glance, he seemed to be even very relaxed and pleased with the effect he had on others with his sexy body.

He approached me and firmly grabbed my wrist, pulling me towards one of the cabins. A few young girls squealed with excitement watching the whole situation between us, which he seemingly ignored.

In a rather brutal manner, he pushed me inside, blocking the door behind him. The fitting room was very cramped. Probably one person would have trouble moving freely... Two people in such a small space already felt like a crowd. He leaned his hand against the wall, right next to my face...

- I asked you something... What do you think about it? - His behavior deeply embarrassed me. Indecent thoughts started swirling in my head... Me... He... In this confined space... With other people, women, and men on the other side of the door, completely unaware... Slowly, I started getting aroused, and there was nothing I could do to control how my body was reacting to the situation.

- We're alone. There's no one else with us. You can answer me honestly now...

- They're... out there... and they can probably hear every word we say... Besides, what am I supposed to judge when you're not wearing any clothes? - I responded diplomatically, while also pointing to the door with my hand to emphasize that what I was saying makes sense...

- Shhh... - He placed his finger on my lips.

- You wouldn't want someone to hear you, right? - The guy closed the distance between us, pressing his whole body against mine...

- Unless... you like it? Tell me, Nunu, do you like being loud? Do you enjoy it when others can hear? - He placed his hands on my chest and started unbuttoning my shirt with one hand...

- It's hot in here, right? Oh, baby, why are you shivering? Are you cold? Give me a moment, I'll warm you up... By the way... Will I finally find out how you rate me?

- Sexy... - I bit my lip as I felt his tongue leave a wet trail on my earlobe...

- And that's the answer I was hoping for. - He moved away from me and opened the latch in the cabin, stepping out.

- Zee... - I whispered softly, as my dry throat allowed me to say only that much...

- I'm going to look for some underwear and socks. Earth recently created some cute cotton boxers with hearts. I want to get them! And you... I'll give you some time to get yourself together. There are wet wipes in my bag, looks like you might need them. Let's meet at the checkout counter. - The boy's gaze was not on me but directly on my lower body.

- Have fun! - He handed me his bag and disappeared with a smile behind the cabin door.

It took me a while to calm down from the excess of emotions. Why? Why is this happening? I'm not gay. I like girls. In reality, I've never been in a relationship. I've never even kissed anyone...

I left the fitting room with a sigh. By that time, everyone had already finished their shopping. The same group of girls who noticed our earlier disappearance are were sitting in the corner of the couch. They were looking at me with excitement, whispering something quietly among themselves... I have a feeling they could indeed hear every word we said...

I found my friend in the checkout line. I joined him, avoiding his gaze. A very friendly guy welcomed us at the counter. I'm not familiar with fashion, but Zee was over the moon and even asked the cashier for an autograph. Was he really just a cashier?

- Thank you so much, Earth. I'm your biggest fan. I never thought I'd get to meet you... For someone like me, you're out of reach.

It seems I was right... Zee often talked about some "Cielo," so Earth must be his favorite designer.

We got back home, not discussing what had happened between us at the boutique...

I was really upset with Zee. I know people like him - they think they can do anything just because their fathers has influence and millions in the bank.

I came up with a brilliant idea to get revenge on him... Nat once told me something about P'Zee that I could use for a lesson.

- You took me to the city today, how about I take you for a walk tomorrow? What do you say? - The boy agreed immediately.

Oh... He doesn't even realize that at this very moment, he just set himself up for a fall...
