Billionaire Playboy

Chapter 23: Chapter 23



The two of them were on their way to New England in what felt like forever they were flying. Yugi had been on planes before but never a private jet.

His surroundings was in an awe, as he looked at the expensive and luxurious items on board. His eyes darted towards different things, such as the cupboard that held glasses and wines.

The expensive mini fridges, and the luxurious soft cushion seats and beds, along with a couch. Flat screen TVs, and stereo speakers with golden frames, and marble tables.

He shouldn't have expected anything less from someone of Yaami's stature but he couldn't help feel as though he was somewhere in the big times now.

Yaami was sitting in one of the custom chairs designed specifically for him. While Yugi sat on the couch holding his bag in his hands.

The two of them didn't say much to one another, as Yaami was busy on his laptop, for most of the time they took off.

Yugi would somewhat glance in his direction from time to time, but he felt as though Yaami didn't take notice of those things.

It wasn't until Yaami had finished typing and closed his laptop, that his orbs shifted towards Yugi, whom immediately looked away.

Yaami adjusted himself in his seat and sighed seeing how uptight Yugi was being. Yaami having his left leg over the over. Would stare at Yugi for a moment.

Yugi feeling the gaze tried his hardest to pretend he wasn't looking, even though he could feel it. He cleared his throat, and continued to simply sit there.

Yaami squinting his orbs down, leaned up a bit to grab his glass before looking back over at Yugi and rolled his eyes a bit.

" ... come come darling, are you going to keep looking at me, and not speak— or do you want me to always start the conversations between us? "

Yugi glanced over at Yaami whom was sitting with a sassy causal demeanor but in any posture he was sitting caused Yugi to feel a steam of heat.

He felt his mouth dry, and gulped a bit hearing Yaami's words that felt sharp. He never was truly alone with Yaami before excluding the office, and that lunchtime.

Even then the conversations was brief and also quick and to the point. It didn't last for several hours like this trip was. It would be at least 10 more hours before they landed.

" I — uh.. mm " Yugi would try and say before he cleared his throat.

" If you are going to stare, you might as well make conversation with me. I thought— we moved past all this— awkwardness between us, no? " Yaami would say.

" Sorry... I just — "

" Stop. Apologizing, you sound like a child. " Yaami told him interrupting the other male.

" sorry.. I mean— I - "

Yaami taking his right hand and softly placing it over his mouth to hide his soft and gentle laugh. Yaami tilting his head a bit before he slowly got up from his sit and walked over towards Yugi.

Yugi feeling his heart race again, immediately slide over towards the edge a bit to give room for Yaami to sit down on the same couch.

" So, a friend... hm. " Yaami started to say.

" I — I'm sorry? " Yugi said unable to really keep eye contact, now that they were close together in the same space.

" Your friend? The one you said convinced you to come.... "

" oh... yeah... " Yugi said softly.

" It must be ... nice. to have friend like that no? one who— can... persuade you to make smart decisions. "

" Uh... yeah.. " Yugi said clearing his throat again. " I mean— yeah. Yeah. I really don't know what I'd do without him. "

" How long? "

" hm? " Yugi asked.

" you two? Friends? " Yaami asked.

" Oh? Uhh.... I wanna say..... 8 years? " Yugi told Yaami.

Yaami getting up again as he headed over to the mini fridge and grabbed another wine. Reaching into the cupboard and grabbed another glass as well.

Yaami would come back over as he handed Yugi a glass. The male took it and watched Yaami carefully.

He couldn't take his eyes off anything else, as Yaami sat back down in the same spot, folding his leg over the other and popping off the wine top like it was nothing.

Yaami would then lean in as Yugi's cheeks warmed up, because the other had to lean over him to grab his glass a bit.

Yaami pouring the red wine into Yuugi's glass first before replying.

" ah.. 8 is long time, yes? You must share some of your friend stories with me sometime. "

Yugi gulped a bit and tried to relax himself but couldn't. Being around this man — made him feeling small, and also very intimated.

The first encounter he had with his boss ended terribly and from every moment after he could never tell if his boss liked him, or hated him.

He also tried to think that maybe he behaved this way with everyone. He always gave off this flirtatious and flamboyant demeanor.

Yugi remembered back at the yacht party and remember seeing him and Alejandro together and what Yaami told Yugi that day.

Seeing him with that man gave him a pit in his stomach, one where he could not get the image out his mind. It made him feel a notion of illness that was like an itch he couldn't scratch.

Once Yaami had filled Yuugi's glass half way, he did his own. Pouring the wine into the glass and placing the bottle down.

Picking up the glass, Yuugi would place down his bag beside him, before picking up his own. Yaami motioning for them to cheers one another.

" To the success we shall do in England. " Yaami would speak.

Yuugi would nod and the two of them would cheers one another before Yaami would watch Yuugi as he took a sip of the wine.

Yuugi eventually did the same and placed the glass towards his lips, as he felt the cold liquid go down his throat. The bitter taste felt delightful oddly enough.

Once Yaami took a sip, he would eventually looked back at Yuugi and speak.

" So, tell me, did you think I was upset with you? " He would ask.

Yuugi whom sat stiffer than a rock, would only turn his head and nothing more. His hands felt extremely sweaty and his palms felt like jello.

" Uhh.. I .. well.. "

" Be honest, young one.. " Yaami asked with a more direct tone.

" .... Kinda... yeah... I did.. " Yugi said softly.

" why?.. " Yaami asked.

" well.... Because... I mean... we .. you? ... " Yugi would try and say before grunting in his throat about how frustrating he was getting due to his inability to talk to Yaami.

" A rule of thumb to follow darling.... " Yaami would say as he placed his glass down and looked at Yugi.

Yugi would only look over.

" Never, fumble with your thoughts. Take notion for what you want to say, because you won't seal any deals with your rambling mind... " Yaami told him.

Yuugi hearing him, looked away for a moment as Yaami would get up from the couch. His back turned against Yugi as Yugi watched as Yaami was heading to walk off.

Yugi could feel this pit of darkness in his heart, whenever Yaami would leave with the final word. He was so direct and good about his thoughts that, Yuugi was jealous of it.

Yuugi always remembered what people would tell him growing up, and it was to take action and say what was on your mind. Never be afraid of those outcomes, and learn from them.

Seeing Yaami walk away, only made Yugi want to speak more.

" I was afraid that you wouldn't want me to come.. " Yugi would finally say.

Yaami turned around as he kept his narrow gaze on Yuugi. His eyes looking in an appeal that signify he was listening.

" oh? " Yaami would remark.

Yuugi continued to look at him, as the older male would keep his eyes locked on the male. Yuugi didn't keep his gaze however and eventually looked away.

Senses this the male would eventually turn all the way and gaze at the male more. His complexion softening as he could tell Yuugi seemed to be down about the remark.

" Why would you think that, hm? " Yaami asked.

Yuugi was somewhat hesitant to say, although he wanted too deep down. His mouth want to part— to speak yet no words came out.

Yaami rose a brow, before he would start to walk back over and slowly sit down on the couch. His hand sliding down and resting on his leg, as he sat comfortably.

Watching the male carefully, Yaami would take a small grin towards his lips. He found Yuugi's flustering, and mumbling to be amusing.

In a way, he still felt as though he was looking into a mirror of himself sometimes. Wondering the thoughts in his mind.

" Do you not—— wish to tell me... Mr. Mutou? " Yaami asked again.

Yuugi slowly inhaled and allowed his chest to rise before exhaling the air. His hair sliding down against his cheek as he would turn to look over.

" ... I just — mmm... nevermind... " Yuugi would say.

Yaami sighed before placing down his glass, before he would look over at Yuugi once more. " You— are... difficult, American ... " Yaami would start to say.

Yuugi hearing this, would perk his ears to hear the other one say such a thing. Yaami shook his head and speak again. " I never seen— someone like you—- " Yaami continued to say.

" You— different. In a way, you showcase weakness and strength at the same time. Perhaps, you do not realize this. " Yaami said aloud.

Yuugi couldn't to look at the male, as he blinked in curiosity. He didn't really know what else to say, but to continue to listen towards Yaami.

" I understand Mr. Mutou. You are leaving behind... a life. A life you wish you could take with you, friends... family.. perhaps... " Yaami said as he looked at the other.

" If you want to get big in this company, you sometimes shall have to make big sacrifices... sacrifices that will leave you to choose... choose between what you want and what you already have... " Yaami explained.

Yuugi continued to listen intensely before he watched as Yaami got up from the couch once he finished.

" I shall not push you Mr. Mutou... if you wish to tell me one day, I shall be open to listen to you. " Yaami said as his head glanced down at the male again.

" However... please for the sake of my company and my reputation.. do not do your little —- fumble cute fluster at the dinner party in England , yes? "

" I can assure you other higher business men, will not be too keen on your .... shy personality.. " Yaami finished saying before he walked in the back of the jet.

Yuugi hearing the remainder of what Yaami had to say, sat with his head down for a moment. His eyes giving a blank expression, and almost in that moment wanting to cry.

He felt weak, whenever he was around Yaami or at work in general. He felt that all this pressure perhaps was getting to his head.

Yuugi would blink down at his lap, feeling the dark clouds swarm around the jet. The male would look at the window before pulling down the shade.

The male started to feel his eyes become heavy, the sounds of the jet around him, as he would drift in and out. He noticed a small area were he could rest and decided to lay in it.

His mind continued to ponder what his boss had told him. In some ways, he felt his boss was not as stand-offish as he assumed him to be.

Yuugi thought that maybe Yaami had a somewhat soft spot for him, and he just didn't know how else to express it besides through tough words.

Yuugi knew for one thing, that he wanted to represent the company and do it right. Considering he wanted to rise bigger in the company.

Yuugi could only hope that when they land, that everything would pay off. He wanted to show not only himself but also to Yaami that he was ready for the next chapter in his life.
