Sweet CEO's First Love

Heart dropped his legs realizing what he was doing in a public space and pushed Saint away as hard as he could.

Suddenly feeling very embarrassed. He knew for a fact Kit was out there.

Heart moved his own body away from Saint's with the shove and saw Saint look slightly upset.

Saint hadn't been holding him down with any actual force and he realized that with zero effort and resistance that he could never say it had happened cause neither of them hadn't wanted it. Because they had been clinging to each other.

The breath between them was cool and a relief to him, but at the same time the space felt empty and hollow.

Heart felt almost shattered by it.

Saint smiled. And shoved both hands in his pockets.

"It's really late, and you haven't eaten. Do you want to go grab some food?"

Heart stared at him.

"But the file."

"We already found a way to get things done, we fixed the problem earlier. I am so sorry I forgot to tell you because I was so busy."

"It's okay, I know you were busy. I understand." Heart responded when he saw how guilty Saint looked.

He waited, wondering if Saint would say anything more., but he didn't.

"Okay, I will get going then."

"Just let me buy you dinner," Saint said, grabbing Heart's arm just as he turned to leave.

Heart looked up at Saint.

'I am getting lost deeper and deeper into you. Just when can we draw the line? Just when will I know my limits. If you keep giving me hope for something more, never committing to me? Then how can I trust these words?'

'Is this dinner to repay for messing up, or is this dinner because you care? Because you made me wait all day and you want to make it up to me?'

'One is as a boss, one is something more…'

'Why can't I be brave enough to ask these questions aloud?' Heart wondered.

"Please, just one meal?"

Heart nodded his agreement.

Saint smiled, grabbed his hand, and pulled him along with him gently.

Heart followed Saint towards the office door surprised that Saint was holding his hand and the elation filled him up ready to burst.

Saint's hand slipped away as he pulled the door open and walked out into the main. Heart saw Kit standing there holding his and Saint's jacket and his heart dropped a little as the door swung back and forth on them, a barrier he couldn't seem to push past.

Will you touch me only when we are alone?

"Do I seem like a P̄hū pĕn thī rạk, am I just a side piece to your work?" Heart whined annoyed but still walked out to meet them.

Saint smiled.

"Let's go."

Kit looked.

"Boss, is he coming with us?"

Saint nodded, smiling deviously, and wiggling a single eyebrow.

Kit chuckled and shook his head.

"I dunno who to feel bad for anymore. Ten or Him." Kit said, nodding his head at Heart before walking off shaking his head no.

Saint laughed.

"What, I am a fair, benevolent ruler… You should feel sorry for both of them." Saint said.

His warm, gentle chuckle trickled back to Heart, and Hear followed, wondering what was so funny.

'How do I get into this secret circle you two have where the walls are so high they seem impenetrable?'

***

Saint watched Heart careful to hide his amusement as Heart processed where they had ended up after he stepped out of the private car with tinted windows.

Heart glanced up Saint incredulous, his mouth slightly agape with confusion at where they were for the second time this month.

Saint smiled back down at him trying to hold in his reaction so Heart wouldn't see how much he was enjoying this.

"The airport. You wanted to take me for a meal at the airport?"

Saint nodded.

"Mmm." He agreed.

"There is a restaurant here?"

"Yes, a rather excellent one," Saint said.

"Oh, okay. I mean it's weird, but Okay." Heart followed him into the airport looking around presumably for a fancy restaurant that Saint could be taking him too. Kit followed behind him slowly his face glued to his phone.

Saint walked a few steps ahead of both of them so neither of them could see the cracks in his facade.

'Seriously, how childish are you that you believe everything I say… Herart why are you so sweet and innocent? I can't actually imagine a you that isn't like this, can you even be anything other than adorable? Being cute is your genetics isn't it.'

'Seriously Saint what are you thinking, things are cutting down to the wire here, and people are watching your every move. Sabotaging your work, making things disappear, paying people off. All of this is going on and you have time to play around?'

'No, but for him I will always make time.'

Saint stopped at the check-in counter for tickets.

The lady behind the desk was the same one as before, her immaculate suit the exact same almost as if she had never left. She smiled up at him.

"Ah, Sir, nice to see you again."

She looked behind Saint and saw Heart, she grinned like a happy cat, so big the smile crinkled up the corners of her eyes, and her pupils dilated as they sparkled with excitement.

"You are here too this time, how nice."

dhe turned back to Saint "Same as all your other flights then?"

"No, this time it's for three. But he will have the seat furthest from us." Saint said pointing at Kit.

Kit nodded agreement and went back to his phone.

"He will sit next to mine, also I would like to know is the flight booked full?"

"Oh, no, it's quite an empty flight, Most people prefer to be in Phuket already at this time of night, why, sir?"

"Seriously? We are flying to Phuket again! And you didn't even tell me?"

Heart interrupted

"Am I ever going to travel with you anywhere and actually get to pack a suitcase?" heart quipped annoyed.

Saint looked down at his angry face, his nose scrunched up and his eyebrows, crushed together unhappily.

Saint wanted to say something, but knew if he did, he was probably going to laugh and Heart's face told him that would be a terrible idea right now.

So, instead, he sucked it in and turned his face a stone mask that didn't betray a single inkling of his feelings as he questioned the Flight Attendants.

"Has anyone else bought any first-class tickets?" She looked up.

"Uhhh, No sir, there isn't."

"Okay."

"I would like to buy out all the other seats in first class as well."

She nodded her head. "Sir."

The girl leaned out past Saint's body to peek back and stare at Heart. Saint smiled because he had been flying to Phuket daily since Ngeun called and had run into this girl multiple times and Saint always happened to be mentioning Heart. She had even asked when the next time he would be bringing his boyfriend. He had told her next time yesterday. Who knew he wasn't lying.

If there had been any doubt in Heart's mind whether she remembered who he was it all cleared away in seconds.

"Any luggage to check... this time?" She asked, her eyes twinkling.

Heart opened his mouth, and closed it at a loss of what to say. before he turned to Saint and glared. Kit glanced up saw the situation and spoke up distracting her.

"I would love it if I could have the login info for the free wifi."

Heart sighed unhappily.

The lady showed the three of them to the same waiting room as before, but this time instead of time to sit the girl took the three of them straight back and out to the waiting plane.

The plane didn't have many people on it at all as it was a very late flight, and it was no longer a peak travel season.

Heart pushed past him with annoyance refusing to even look at him. He stormed past going for a chair closer to the cockpit and emergency exits.

Saint reached out and grabbed him gently.

"Wait."

"Where are you going, our seats are right here?" Saint said, pointing to the exact same spots they had flown in before.

Heart glared at him

"Don't think I didn't hear you purchasing every seat here lavishly like you are made out of money. I can sit wherever I want, which right now is far away from you, and close to Kit."

"I am made out of money though."

"Kit likes to be alone so he can send sexy chats to his husband, you don't want to intrude on their private time do you?"

"When I am already keeping them apart?" Saint said with mock concern.

"As if I would believe you, you are always doing things to make me flustered, as if he would do that." Heart paused and looked at Kit.

Saint winked at Kit who looked up and without even missing a beat replied better than he could have ever expected.

"It's true, I like to smut text him during the agonizingly long work nights. It helps him cope with not being able to cuddle me goodnight. It helps me cope with Saint's overbearing personality."

"Do you want to see?" Kit asked, standing up so matter-of-factly and holding out his phone.

Heart recoiled in shock.

"No, that's quite okay, I...I believe you." Heart cleared his throat awkwardly.

"Still, I might not be able to sit there, but, I certainly am not required to sit next to you."

"Yes, you have to sit beside me. Since the first-class seats will be filled up soon," Saint said, refuting Heart gently.

"I heard you flaunting your wealth and showing it all off." Heart started in on him.

"Okay, enough Heart. I didn't buy all the seats for us to use them."

"Or to spend extravagantly and show off my wealth."

"I bought them in case there are any elderly, pregnant or sick people in the economy seats who need comfier chairs, more legroom, and better service. Sometimes the airline will upgrade them, but it's just easier if I buy the seats and let them have it."

"Less paperwork for the attendant at the counters that way," Saint said softly.

"Now can you please sit with me. I haven't eaten all day really, and I know you are hungry too."

"Sit with me and let's have dinner together. Hmmm?" Saint pleaded, his rich tone coming out soft and sweet sounded strange and unnatural to his own ears.

'I am a grown man. Why did I just speak to him as gently as I would a new animal?'

Heart'anger melted away and he plopped down in the seat next to saint feeling incredibly awkward he had nothing to hold or do. He pulled put his phone and buried his nose inside ignoring Saint.

Saint smiled then sat down, just as the flight attendant started bringing people from economy seats up into first class.
