“And that’s what happened…” Kai finished off as he stared at the wide eyed man who was Rex’s father. The man was young and quite handsome, he had the whole rich man appeal and looked good enough to be a movie star.
“You’re telling me Nicolas and you are dating and Luciana lied to me when she told me Nicolas had agreed to the deal with the Collins?” He asked and there was a hint of anger in his eyes as Kai and Rex nodded.
The Collins were Angelica’s family. Kai had found out that they were another company with many hotel branches all around the world and Luciana had made that deal which involved Nicolas and Angelica getting married in the next four years to merge the companies.
Kai had felt physically sick when he heard the word marriage.
“Dad will you help us?” Rex added with big innocent eyes and his dad sighed.
“What do you need?”
“Well.. can you book us plane tickets? To New York? We’ll be back before school starts again with Nicolas.” He pleaded.
“Okay fine. If I could I would have came with you but I have a lot to attend to here. You guys are going to be fine on your own?” He asked and the boys nodded.
“Kai you need to ask your parents first though. Tell them to give me a call if they have any doubts.” He said sliding his business card across the coffee table which Kai carefully picked up.
“Also dad..” Rex started. “Could you talk to Luciana into letting Nicolas come back? Maybe she’ll listen to you.”
“I will try my best but I cannot guarantee anything, she is a very stubborn woman. But if she doesn’t let him come back, anything that we had between us is over.” He said firmly.
“Now go on I’ll book you guys a late flight tonight and you’ll land early tomorrow morning. Kai go home and talk to your parents and then pack your bags.” He said standing up and they did too.
“Yes sir.” Kai nodded his head and the stern man cracked a smile.
“You can call me Alex.” He said.

Kai stared nervously at his parents who sat from across him on the kitchen table. He had came out to his mother so suddenly and thankfully she had a good reaction but he still has to tell his dad.
“What do you want to tell us sweetie?” His mom asked sweetly with a soft smile that comforted him.
“Dad you probably know this since apparently everyone except me knew about it but I’m gay.” He blurted out and his dad raised an eyebrow and nodded his head.
“And you’re dating Nicolas?” He filled in when Kai stopped talking and the boy blushed but nodded his head.
“No matter what I will always love you and Lee. You don’t need to be afraid to tell me anything. Just be careful okay?” He said and Kai smiled widely.
“I love you too dad.” Kai replied and his dad cleared his throat, looking away.
“There’s something else.” He said brining back their attention.
“Nicolas’s mom took him away by force and me and Rex, Nicolas’s friend and well mine, we want to bring him back home.” He said all in one breath.
“Bring him from where?” His mom asked curiously.
“New York.” He mumbled and his mom’s eyes widened.
“Absolutely not.” His dad said and Kai’s heart dropped.
“Dad please.” He begged. “I won’t be alone! Rex will be with me and then we’ll find Nicolas and I’m always safe with Nicolas. I’ll call you and keep you updated on everything.”
“I don’t know who Rex is and I don’t trust you with a stranger during a 6 hour flight.” His dad said with finality in his tone so Kai turned to his mother with pleading eyes but even she looked unsure.
“I..I have Rex’s dad’s number. He said you can call him if you’re unsure.” Kai turned to his last resort and thankfully his dad grabbed the card and left the room.
“Are you sure you will be safe?” His mom asked and he immediately nodded his head.
“I’m sure mom. I’ll be back before school starts again.” He told her. “I really need to go mom. I didn’t even get to say something to Nicolas and his maid told me that they’re not coming back. I can’t…I can’t leave him mom. I need him.”
“You’ll find him and you’ll bring him back.” His mom said reassuringly when panic started growing in his eyes.
Kai’s dad walked back in the room and sat back down and Kai looked at him expectantly.
“You can go.” He said and Kai cheered getting up and squeezing his dad in a massive hug. “Thank you thank you thank you!”
“But.” He cut off Kai which made him pull away. “You will call me as soon as you land and when you find Nicolas and then when the problem is solved you come straight home. And if it’s not solved you still come back before school start, with or without Nicolas.”
Kai didn’t bother to ponder on the second possibility because the problem will be solved and Nicolas would be coming back, no matter what.

“Are you scared of flights?” Kai turned to look at Rex who was looking at him with amusement while he shook in his seat.
“Just when it takes off.” Kai mumbled as he clutched at his own hands.
“What do you usually do to calm down?” Rex asked worriedly as Kai grew paler.
“I only travelled two times by plane. Once with Lee and I held his hand and the second time with Nicolas and I held his hand as well.” Kai answered shakily as his heartbeat grew faster.
“Well… do you want to hold my hand?” Rex asked with a clear of his throat and Kai turned to look at him and he looked so awkward that it made Kai laugh through his panic.
“Are you sure?” Kai teased and Rex rolled his eyes grabbing Kai’s hand and turning his head away.
When the plane started taking off Kai closed his eyes tightly and squeezed the life out of Rex’s hand. When they were finally in the air, Kai let go of his hands and Rex immediately clutched it to his chest, his eyes filled with tears.
“That fucking hurts. How do you have so much power in those small hands?” Rex asked incredulously and Kai gave him a sheepish smile.
“Nic and Lee never complained.” He said with a smile remembering how Nicolas held his hand not only at the beginning but during the whole flight, and it was a long flight.
“Of course they didn’t.” Rex muttered rolling his eyes while rubbing his red hand. “I’m not holding your hand when we land.”
“I’m not scared then.” Kai said with a shrug.
When they finally landed Kai looked out with wide eyes. It was snowing! “This is so cool!” He examined with wide eyes staring out of the airport windows while Rex took out his phone to call someone.
“Come on Kai let’s go!” He grinned running ahead of him and Kai curiously followed him, why was he so exited all of a sudden?
But when Kai turned the corner he found out. Rex had dropped his bag and was hugging a girl and then… then they were kissing. He stood there with a gaping mouth as the couple continued to kiss with no care for the world.
Julie.
It must be his girlfriend he told him about that one day during lunch. Kai smiled as he walked over them and waited patiently until they were done and when they pulled away he saw that the girl had tears running down her face and his heart softened for the couple who had to go through a long distance relationship.
“I missed you so much.” She said hugging him again and he told her the same.
She was a very pretty girl with raven hair that were cut short to her shoulders and honey like eyes. She was also very tall, taller then Kai but shorter then Rex and probably Nicolas since they were quite tall.
“You must be Kai.” She said after wiping her face of any traces of tears and even Rex had discreetly wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his jacket.
“Hi. It’s nice to meet you!” Kai smiled brightly and she smiled back.
“You’re so sweet and cute.” She said shaking his hand before grabbing one of his bags and throwing it over her shoulder.
“Come on my car’s parked out there.” She said leading them out to the parking lot. Kai sat in the back of the car while the couple sat in the front and they started driving.
Kai looked out of the window and smiled at all the snow, it was six in the morning and yet there were quite a lot of people bustling on the streets.
“Im 100% he’s staying at your dad’s hotel but they wouldn’t freaking tell me which room!” The words uttered by Julie brought his attention back.
“You know where Nicolas is?” He asked and she nodded.
“When Rex told me what happened I went to his dad’s hotel where Nicolas was staying last time but the receptionist wouldn’t tell me if he was there which immediately gave it away since if he wasn’t there he would have just said so. I think Luciana gave them orders, the lady is crazy.” She started ranting heatedly and Kai tried to process it all.
“How are we gonna get in then?” He asked and Rex smirked.
“They wouldn’t let her in but they have no choice but to let me. I have higher authority then Luciana there since after all it is owned by my father.” He said and Julie groaned.
“I’m your girlfriend! I should also have authority to smack that stupid receptionist who was glaring at me!” She huffed and Rex chuckled.
“When we get married you’ll have the authority to do whatever pleases you at the hotels but try not to harm the workers babe.” He said and she grinned.
As they talked back and forth Kai sat back with his nerves building. What if Nicolas wasn’t there? What if they don’t let him go to him?
“We’re here!” He looked out the window to see a large building and he slowly got out of the car.
“You can leave your bags in the car. You can get them later.” Julie said and then they walked in the building. As soon as they did all the workers greeted Rex.
They walked to the receptionist who immediately stiffened when he saw Julie who was throwing daggers at him.
“Which room is Nicolas Martinez staying in?” Rex add and the poor receptionist eyes grew so large when he saw Rex that Kai thought they were going to pop.
“S-sir!” He exclaimed and immediately started typing in his computer. “R-room 221!”
“Thanks.” Rex winked while Julie stuck her tongue at the man and Kai politely smiled and then they walked to the elevator.
“I’ll take you to his floor but you can meet him by yourself as I’m sure you guys have a lot to say.” Rex told Kai and he nodded.
“Thank you so much Rex.” Kai said as the elevator started moving up.
“It was no trouble and thanks to you guys I got to see this one.” He said nodding his head at his girlfriend who smiled and bounded over to settle back into his arms.
Kai smiled at the couple just as the elevator dinged. “Go on now you’ll find the room easily. If something comes up call me. We’ll be on the top floor.” Rex said smiling down at Julie before giving Kai a reassuring nod.
“Bye.” Kai waved before walking down the hallway.

Kai stopped at the door and took in a deep breath. He took out his hands from his jacket and knocked on the door. There was no answer and then he knocked again and again. Finally he heard the doorknob turn and he was met with with a tired and shirtless Nicolas.
Nicolas stopped rubbing his eyes as soon as he saw Kai and his eyes widened in complete shock. But before he could even get a word out Kai had jumped into his arms, wrapping his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist and squeezing as he hard as he could.
“I love you.”
Hi guys! I know this chapter was quite boring but still necessary even though I wish I could have just skipped to the part Kai met Nicolas again. I still hoped you enjoy ~
