Coffee and Bliss novel Chapter 13

After driving Mia to her P'Gia, Tristan and Harris went to school together. Although Harris didn’t want to, the tan man still found a way to force him. Like he threatened him to call Mia and for sure the little girl would be sad if she heard that he didn’t get along with her uncle.

He got out of the car faster, looking around first before getting out. He didn’t want the Med students to see him with an Engineering student. As in their first week of school, he learned that the Med and Engineering Department had an issue regarding the best department of the year. And the Med Department always got the award that made the other department furious. 

“Call me when you finish your class, okay? We’ll pick Mia together and maybe go outside for dinner?” 

He immediately stopped. He turned back to Tristan who was now fidgeting with his car keys in his right hand. Not wanting to make the conversation long, he just nodded and ran away.

“Hmm.”

He looked uncomfortable when he saw his friends eyeing him suspiciously. “W–What?”

“So you and the Engineer student, huh?” Chris said with a smirk plastered on his lips.

He tapped his foot loudly. Biting his lower lips, he didn’t know what to answer.

“Don’t get too nervous. We’re on the same boat.” Riley patted his left shoulder.

“What do you mean?” He asked, confused.

“You’ll know later. Come on, we’ll be late. And you need to catch up on the activity for yesterday.”

They headed to their class with him still confused and thinking what those words meant.

Their class ended up earlier than usual. Riley told him that he will introduce him to his wife. 'Oh, he had a girlfriend?' He thought. They waited in their usual spot which was the Meds cafeteria.

Riley was tapping his fingers, maybe waiting for his girlfriend. Chris was eating chips and he on the other side was in deep thoughts.

“Honey Vanilla Sweet Cupcake!” Riley said with an excited tone. 

He snapped back on his thoughts and heard the cheesy call signs.

'Fuck? Why so many call signs?' And why did he giggle like a freaking woman? His friend stood up and greeted the person behind him who he thought was his girlfriend.

“Hi, Sugar SweetyPie!! Hello Chris. And?”

He choked on his saliva when he heard a baritone voice. 'Huh?'

He was just imagining that Riley’s girlfriend was pretty but wait, why did he sound like a man? He peeped a little bit behind him and was shocked. He was really a man! A tall slim man. Riley was clinging his arms on his neck then his wife kissed him on his cheeks that made his friend blush. Chris just shrugged his shoulder like he was used to both of them.

“Honey vanilla! Just introduce me to your new friend.” The man pouted. 'Wow! He looked like a man who can sweep people away in a second but did he just pout?'

'What’s new? Tristan was always like that. A dickhead but can be cute at the same time.'

His eyes followed Riley’s boyfriend, how he held his friend’s waist and guided him to sit. “Sweety, this is P'Harris. Harris this is my lover, Arche.” Riley introduced the man to him.

They waii to each other. “Lemon cake, I’ll be late later. Our seniors just gave a sudden task to us.” Arche said.

“Of course, juicy. I can wait for you.” Riley said with a sweet voice. 

“No need. There are many mosquitoes out there. I don’t want you to get bitten. I am the only one who can bite you, deep!” Arche showed his canines, bit lightly Riley’s neck. He and Chris choked after.

It was all new to his sight. He wasn’t aware that two men could be sweet like the two. It was his first time having gay friends.

Riley moaned a little. Both he and Chris rolled their eyes. Fuck these two! Could they lessen their sweetness because he was about to throw a tissue at them in a minute?

“Harris will be with me. Right Harris?” Riley’s attention drew to him then wink.

“What?” He asked in shock.

“You’ll be with me, right? Chris won’t make it because he needs to go home early today.” Riley made a puppy look. So he just nodded. Wondering why he agreed after all.
