Third Person POV

Even though Billkin had tried to turn away quickly in order to hide the tears that were starting to make his eyes glisten, he was not able to turn away fast enough.

PP had seen how Billkin's eyes had turned red before getting moist with unshed tears.

But PP was afraid to approach him seeing as how angry he still was. It would be best to let things cool down first. PP needed to let himself cool down as well. He was still upset with what he had witnessed at Billkin's birthday celebration. PP did not even know who that person was who had grabbed Billkin and had kissed him full on the lips. What hurt PP most was that Billkin did not even seem to mind it. In fact he seemed to be enjoying the kiss that was why he did not even make the effort to go after PP when PP left the party.

Truthfully, if Tae had been a free agent, PP would not think twice about dating him. Unfortunately, Tae seemed to need to fix some complications in his own life before PP could even think of dating him.

PP turned to Tae.

"So I guess, our dinner date tonight is not going to happen," PP said in a resigned tone.

"Oh no, my dear," Tae said with a smile. "You still owe me that dinner at Ristorante Napolitano. I will be waiting for you there. You better make the reservations for tonight. Please don't break your promise, otherwise you might receive an enormous bill from my Towing Company, not to mention the petrol service of this morning."

PP suppressed a smile. Tae was not going to let him get away with paying back what he owed.

PP told himself not to feel guilty about dating someone else apart from Billkin. In the first place, even though he and Billkin had dated steadily, Billkin never declared anything official. He had never put a name to their relationship. It seemed to PP that Billkin did not consider himself in a committed relationship with PP and so he had felt free to date people other than PP.

Billkin almost crashed into another car as he made his way back to his house.

When he reached his house, he parked his car in the driveway but did not get out of his car right away. He kept on pounding his fist on the wheel of his car.

He felt so frustrated that he was not able to ask for forgiveness from PP because he had not been given the chance to do so.

Before getting out of his car Billkin told himself that he was not going to give up on PP. He was not going to let that guy Tae, was that his name, take PP away from him.

Billkin was letting himself into his front door when his phone started to ring. It was his father.

"Hey Billkin," his father said before Billkin could even say hello. "Your mother and I were not able to greet you on your birthday yesterday because we had to make sure that our biggest client would sign the contract before the day ended. And then after the contract signing we had to treat the President and Executive Vice President of that company to dinner."

Billkin was already so used to not being greeted on his birthday by his parents. He was surprised that they even remembered this time.

"But tonight your mother and I are free to treat you to a birthday dinner celebration," Billkin heard his father saying. "Don't go anywhere tonight. We are going to treat you to that newly opened Italian restaurant down town. It's called Ristorante Napolitano. Your mother has already instructed her secretary to make reservations for tonight. Be there promptly at seven tonight, okay?"

"Yes, sir," Billkin said in a resigned tone. He knew better than to disobey his father.

Billkin wondered why his parents had chosen Ristorante Italian as the venue for his belated birthday celebration.

As the uniformed waiter led him to the reserved table in a far corner of the room, it seemed to be a restaurant that catered to lovers who wanted to spend a romantic evening with a dinner by candlelight.

His parents were not yet there. He didn't mind that he arrived first. His father would not have liked it if he arrived late to a dinner appointment with his parents.

His phone started to ring just as the waiter pulled a chair for him at the reserved table.

"We're on our way, Billkin," his father said on the phone. "Go ahead and order drinks. Your mother and I will be there in less than ten minutes."

"Okay, Father, I will," Billkin said.

The uniformed waiter stood patiently at Billkin's side waiting for Billkin to end the call.

Billkin knew that his father preferred white wine to red wine so he told the water to bring a bottle of chardonnay.

While waiting for the waiter to return with the wine, Billkin looked through the menu booklet that the waiter had left at the table. Billkin thought it would be nice to order a calamari steak. It would go well with the chardonnay.

Just as the waiter approached Billkin's table with the bottle of chardonnay in his hand, Billkin looked up to see a smiling Tae walk in. Billkin stared wide eyed, his heart pounding furiously against his chest as he saw PP walking right beside Tae with a shy smile adorning his face, looking dashing and handsome in formal attire.

Billkin's first instinct was to leave the table and run out of the restaurant, but just at that moment his mother and father walked in, accompanied by another uniformed waiter.
