Volume 1 Chapter 43 (2/2)

”d.a.m.n, Ai'Pha... Does it really has to be today?”

”Of course.” I replied fast. ”It has to be today. I don't want to have any headaches later.”

”Why is that?”

”A lot of guys will be approaching him soon. I need to block them out.”

Beam makes a face like he's going to have a headache too. We're lucky the store picked up my call to let them know my friend brought me the wrong item. She began to apologize and promises to bring the right one outside the mall where Beam could meet her up since the mall will be closing soon.

I'm so upset. I'm not going to fail... Not today, not any minute. Then I notice Beam haven't turned his car's engine off yet.

”I'm going to the mall.” I held my hand out for him to hand me over his car keys. ”I'm driving and you're coming with me.”

”What?! Again?” He complains.

”You have to make it up for your mistake.”

”s.h.i.+t! I swear I'm not giving you any red envelope on your wedding day.”

[Note: Among most Thais, it is customary for close friends to offer the newly wedded couple with red envelopes which contain money inside as their way of wis.h.i.+ng them good luck and prosperity for their future.]

”I'm fine with it, buddy. Now, let's go”

Beam walks his way reluctantly towards the pa.s.senger side of his car as I drove us off as fast as I could.

This'll take us a long drive back to the mall. Other than distance, it'll also be the same time for everyone to go home after a long day's work which will cause heavy traffic along the outskirts of downtown Bangkok.

I'm getting even more upset by the minute. I promised Yo I'll be away for only about ten minutes, now it's been more than an hour since I left his room. Even worse, I left my phone in his room before I hurried down to see Ai'Beam.

Yup. I am so Dead. Yo will kill me... ?

About a week ago, I went to order this gift wile Nong'Yo was busy rehearsing that's why this is the second time I saw the store owner who seemed so happy to see me. We traded bags. This time, I double checked the item including the quality before driving back. No idea how long this'll take but it's already past midnight.

I guess I'll already have to sign my own will... It's been like what? Three hours?

”Thanks, buddy.” I pat on Beam's shoulder before leaving his car.

”Ai'Pha...” He calls back smiling as I am about to head for the stairs. ”I'm sure he'll gonna say yes.”

Will it be a yes or a no, we'll see, but this has to be done tonight. I ran upstairs as fast as I could like I was taking at least three or five strides at a time before finally reaching the front of his room. I tried knocking a few times but there was no answer and looks like the lights are already turned off.

P' deeply sorry, Nong'Yo. ?

Good thing his door wasn't locked. Phew!

He's already asleep the moment I got myself in. Right there, lying down peacefully on his bed facing the other side with his back at me. I laid myself down next to him hugging him loosely. He must have woken up with my movements as I felt his arm hitting mine.

”Where have you been? Go away.”

Like I have said... He's really mad at me. ?

”I went to get something.”

Yo turns around to see my face amidst the dark. I'm sure he'd notice my eyes sparkling as they're illuminated by the light coming from the balcony outside. ”Is it that important? What time is it now? And why didn't you bring your phone with you? You said you'll be right back so I waited and waited that you have no idea how worried I'd been.”

No kidding. He's really mad that I have to hug him tighter. I know I've been so brave after that night where we were inside the car when Yo tried to kiss me on the cheek but ended up kissing me on the lips instead.

”I'm sorry.” I whispered. He seems to have calmed down after I said that but he still hits me on the arm one more time. ”Ouch!”

”Go back to your room now and get some sleep. You still have a cla.s.s tomorrow, haven't you?”

”Uhmm... In a few minutes.”

”Why is that?”

”You don't want me to tell you where I disappeared to?”

I raised my hand to grab the tiny bag from the desk where I placed it a while ago. It has the same velvet box containing the bracelet Yo gave me.

Yup. It's the same bracelet only that it's White instead of the black one I'm wearing around my wrist. Same Brand, same design, same everything other than the color. This product has already been discontinued that's why I have to make a special order with its price higher than the regular ones.

I put it on his wrist, the same side where mine was placed. It looks so perfect on him even in the dark.

”Hey, P'Pha... How did you manage to get this? They already discontinued this model.”

”Of course, I'm a G.o.d. [Yes P'G.o.dt, we know ?] That's why.” Yo raises his arm up to compare his bracelet with mine. ”Do you know what I'm, gonna say next?”

”You gave me loads of stuff today, P'...”

”But this'll be the most important thing I'm giving you. It'll be important to your life... Mine... and the future.”

”What is it?” He asks in a whisper which made me d.a.m.n nervous. I turned him so that our faces will be facing each other.

”Yo...”

Those big bright eyes of his are looking right at me. ”Huh?” It looks like he's kind'a nervous too.

d.a.m.n! My heart is beating so fast. What feeling is this?

I have to let this out before it kills me.

Someone deserves to be taken, right? Specially a cute and popular little guy like Nong'Yo.

”Err...”

”What?”

”We've been in love with each other for quite too long now...”

Yo blinks. ”Yeah?”

”Nong'Yo likes me and I like you too...”

”...”

”No... I mean I love you too...”

He's getting a little bit shaky now. I can feel his nervousness out of his hands gripping tightly against the blanket.

Yeah, of course... So do I. I'm f.u.c.king nervous. This feeling is far worse than that day when we're waiting for the admission result letter from the University Medical School.

”From now on...”

”...”

”Let me take care of Nong'Yo... As your boyfriend na khrub.”

Yo looked so shocked.

”Will you be my boyfriend?”

One of his teardrops fell from those shaky eyes.

THUD!!!

Ouch! I got a big hit on the chest. Yo wipes his tears pretending he wasn't crying at all.

”f.u.c.k you, P'Pha.”

”Is that a yes?”

”Do you still need to ask?”

I hug my little boy tightly.

”Well, I'm not sure.”

”Do you really need me to kick your a.s.s? My room is filled with your pictures and stuff yet you're saying you aren't sure about my answer, huh?”

I hug him a bit more tight. Everything that happened these days are the best days of my life. So many good things have happened and I want everything to remain like this in every single day of my life with Nong'Yo.

”So... You're my boyfriend now.”

He nods.

”From now on, if somebody asks for your phone number, tell them you're already taken. Okay?”

Yo hits me again. ”Look who's talking. You should tell that to yourself.”

I showed him a grin.

So many things are happening now between me and Yo.

And today will be the first day of our new journey as boyfriends.

Trust me when I say this isn't going to be an easy journey.

But I believe... We both will be able to get through with it.

”P' Love you na 'Yo.” Oops! This image does not follow our content guidelines. To continue publis.h.i.+ng, please remove it or upload a different image.
