Chapter 16: Chapter 16: You're the one that I want
In the morning, Tim woke up and Willy wasn't by his side. He immediately ran downstairs. It looked like he was scared. Willy was making breakfast. When he saw this, Tim calmed down.
He approached him and hugged him from behind. He rested his head on his shoulder.
Tim: "What are you doing here? I was scared when you weren't by my side."
Willy: "I made you breakfast. You always cook for me. I wanted to surprise you."
Tim kissed his neck.
Tim: "It wasn't necessary. I'll take care of you, and you just stay by my side."
Willy: "We are already a family and we have to take care of each other. Don't tell me not to take care of you, because it's my duty. Even if it weren't for that, I would still take care of you because I love you."
Tim: "But I don't want you to get tired or hurt. I just want you to do what makes you happy and fulfill your dreams."
Willy: "You make me happy. You are my dream come true."
Willy turned to Tim and kissed him.
Willy: "You are the best thing that ever happened to my life."
Tim: "I should have said that. I'm happy to wake up every day because I know you'll be by my side."
Willy: "Oh, that's why you were looking for me. From now on, I'll be by your side until you wake up."
Tim hugged Willy. He hugged him so tightly that Willy couldn't breathe.
Willy: "Tim, I can't breathe."
Tim: "Sorry."
He was still hugging him, not so tightly anymore, but he didn't want to let him go.
Willy: "Let's eat before the food gets cold. The food may be salty, I haven't tasted it."
Tim: "It's okay, I like salty food. Even if I don't like it, I'll still eat it because you made it."
They sat down at the table. Willy waited for Tim's reaction. He wondered if the food was delicious.
Tim: "It's very delicious. I've never eaten such delicious food."
Willy wondered if it was really delicious and tried it too. Unable to swallow, he immediately drank water. Tim continued to eat.
Willy: "How do you eat this? It's so salty. I think all the salt in the world is in this food."
Tim: "Really? I really liked it. I love salty food."
Willy raised an eyebrow and looked at him like that.
Willy: "Okay, then I'll always make you food like this."
Tim: "It's great. I'll buy the salt company because the salt we have at home isn't enough."
Tim was laughing.
Tim: "I'll go make you something that has a lot of sugar."
Willy: "Stop teasing me."
Tim rolled up his sleeves. He took out the eggs and bacon from the fridge. Willy watched from a distance. Tim noticed the way he was looking at him.
Tim: "You're looking at me like you're going to eat me."
Willy: "That's true, but we're about to leave. You forgot that we have to go to your grandparents'."
Tim: "We can go late. They won't get angry."
Willy: "Tim..."
Tim: "I already know what you're going to tell me. 'We can't be late.' It'll be ready soon."
Tim prepared the food and brought it to Willy.
Willy: "What should we bring them?"
Tim: "I'm taking you with them. This will be enough."
Willy: "It won't be enough."
Tim: "Then let's take some whiskey to Grandpa. I have some in my office, he loves it. Flowers for Grandma. I'll order it right now."
Willy: "As always, you handle everything."
Tim is paying for everything during this entire trip. Willy felt awkward because he wasn't used to it. Wherever he went with his friends or siblings, he was always the one paying.
Willy: "I feel awkward, you're paying for everything."
Tim: "I'm not paying, it's your money. My money is yours too, so you're literally buying everything, not me."
Willy: "No, I'll transfer the money to you when we get back."
Tim: "There's no need. You're not transferring anything to me. I'm already preparing a card for you. Buy whatever you want and spend however much you want, I don't care. It's your money. What I have is already yours. I'm not going to argue about it."
Willy: "Why are you doing all this? I haven't even made a decision yet."
Tim hold his hand.
Tim: "Your happiness is the most important thing to me, even if you leave me, I want you to be free and happy. You can use this money for that. You won't have to work for your parents' company anymore."
How can you do everything for me and expect nothing in return? You manage to surprise me every minute and every second. I love you more and more. Willy realized at that moment that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with him.
Willy:" I'm not going to leave you. I'll be with you, every moment."
Tim cried after hearing those words. He could barely speak.
Tim: "Really?
Do you trust me?
No matter what happens, won't you leave me?"
Willy didn't expect Tim to react like that. He immediately wiped the tears from his cheeks. He hugged him tightly.
Willy: "I trust you and I will be with you no matter what."
He wouldn't stop crying. Willy didn't know what to do anymore.
Willy: "I'll be with you, but you'll have to eat salty food sometimes, and I hope you don't mind."
Tim laughed. He calmed down a little and stopped crying.
Tim: "You can't do it often, because then there will be no salt left on the earth."
Willy laughed with him.
Willy: "If you want, you can rest for a while and go later."
Tim: "There's no need. I'll get ready, they'll bring the flowers soon."
Tim and Willy got ready quickly. Everything was ready.
Tim: "Are you still nervous?"
Willy: "I'm a little nervous. We will be together and everything will be fine."
Their house was really close. Willy became even more nervous as he reached the door. His heart was beating very fast. Tim hold his hand.
Tim: "I'm sure they'll like you. Are you ready?"
Willy hesitated, but Tim was by his side. He took a deep breath.
Willy: "I am ready."
Tim opened the door and they entered the house.
Tim: "I'm home. Your favorite grandson is back. Where are you?"
They were in the living room waiting for them to arrive. They immediately hugged Tim as soon as they saw him.
Grandmother: "You've become thin. You haven't eaten anything, haven't you slept well?"
Grandfather: "You shouldn't have left."
Tim: "Wait, let's sit down and talk. But before that, I'll introduce you to my guest."
Now they noticed Willy standing at the door.
Tim: "My other half and only love, William. They are my grandparents, Elena and Theodore."
Willy: "Hello, nice to meet you."
They were quiet and didn't say anything, and then they hugged Willy, which was unexpected for him.
Tim: "Have I lost the title of favorite already?"
Elena: "We are also pleased to meet you."
Theodore: "I didn't think this day would ever come."
Tim: "Hello, I'm here, have you forgotten already?"
Tim was sulking. He knew it would happen because they never imagined Tim would fall in love with anyone. But now that Willy was home with him, they were very happy.
Elena: "William, come on, let's sit down and talk. Tim doesn't tell us anything."
Willy was placed in the middle. Tim had to sit separately.
Elena: "William, Do you know Tim from university?"
Willy: "Yes, we are in the same club."
Theodore: "Did you come here for the competition? We saw it on the news."
Tim: "Yes, and Willy won."
Theodore: "Congratulations. It is a very big achievement."
Elena: "Congratulations. We should celebrate this success of yours."
Tim was right, he completely forgot about his nervousness. He feels very good with them.
Willy: "Thank you very much, it's not necessary."
Elena: "It is necessary. You have achieved such a significant success and how can we not celebrate it?"
Theodore: "She is right."
Tim: "There is no point in refusing."
Willy nodded in agreement. He couldn't refuse them.
Theodore: "Tim, I want to talk to you. Shall we go into the office?"
Tim: "Okay. Willy, I'll be back soon."
Theodore and Tim left the room. They went up to the second floor. They sat facing each other.
Theodore: "Tim, I'm so happy for you. Are you sure everything will be okay?"
Tim: "I know what you're worried about. There's one last thing left to do. Until then, I'll do everything I can to protect him. I talked to the boss. It's the last task and then I'll be free. Don't worry, Willy is very dear to me. I won't let anything happen to him."
Theodore: "If you need help, let me know. Are they still sending you threatening messages?"
Tim: "Yes, but I'll sort everything out when I get back."
Theodore: "I will talk to them."
Tim: "Nothing will change by talking. I know what to do. They want to see me and I will give them a good welcome."
Theodore: "Aren't you talking to them again? They want to see you, they regret everything so much."
Tim: "I know, but I don't want to see them. I know they're your daughter and son-in-law, but I can't forgive them. You know I couldn't sleep at night because of them. It's thanks to Willy that I sleep peacefully at night now. If I meet them, I'm afraid I'll start having nightmares again. Please understand me."
Theodore understood him well, but he wanted to reconcile them. For years, their family has been torn apart. A lot of bad things happened. He couldn't bear to watch his family members drift further apart.
Theodore: "Okay, but listen to them and then make a decision. Tell them the truth and everything will change."
Tim was angry.
Tim: "The truth? It won't change anything. It won't change the past. Do you know why they want me to come back home? They don't care about me, they just want my money and my child, but they won't get that. Tell them to stay away from me."
Theodore: "What are you saying?"
Tim: "They've already chosen a bride for me, and that's why they want me to come back. They don't even ask me if I want to have children or not. They couldn't raise me and now they want my child? They'll never separate Willy and I. If they try, I've got something really good for them."
Theodore didn't know what to say. Is this how they treat Tim after all this? He couldn't imagine that they would have such a plan.
