(POV)

Nani, Dew and Win at the pool table area. Playing billiard and talking about last foot game we had.

"Win, I'll take Demi home now." Whispered at him

He turned around at me worried.

"But Phi, i promise Luke to keep an eye of Demi"

holding a cue stick in his left hand.

I gave him a stink eye.

Keep on eye you're butt.

You'll been busy bragging and chatting with Nani and Dew all night.

"Fine fine. Just don't do anything I wouldn't do." He said mischievously

I flick his forehead for being unruly.

"–Aw Phi! You're getting physical again!"

"Behave. See you all tomorrow" I warned him and ruffled his hair.

Nodded at Dew and pat Nani at the shoulder.

"Okay Phi. I'll keep an eye on this two." Dew said and Nani chuckled then drink a beer.

"Remember we have a meeting at 10am!"

He shout at me as i walk towards where i left my girl.

DEMI•

(POV)

I'm happy i can talk to him comfortably without being flutter everytime he speaks. I guess being intoxicated by his presence and few drinks i had makes my confidence in topnotch.

I sat in front of the bar counter. I grab my phone and check my long list of emails i left unread as Bright went to the boys to check on them. To my surprise i have a lot of notifications from my social.

Gun and Mike tag me on their individual insta's story. Taptop post a group photo of us too. They are trending on twitter.

Of course they will. Silly me!

I was blown away by the amount of people curious about me and wants to follow me. I made my personal account private but i do have other account for my art that is public.

"I already told the boys where heading out."

"You're ready?" Bright smiling. He is standing next to me.

I looked up to him and said

"Already? is it okay I'm heading off without saying goodbye?"

I wondered and i lift my face up to him from my seat.

"They'll understand."

"But what about Moi–"

He grab the side of my seat and slowly he move his face next to my face and whispered.

"You're with me. She's knows it. Shall we?"

I was Stunned. Blink once and gulp loudly for the unexpected moment. He tuck my fallen hair on my left ear and smile.

Why is this happening?

Is this still a normal fan service?

Should i be worried?

I slowly stand next to me. He puts his hands on my back as he guide me to the exit.

–

"So this is your hiding spot? Should i tell you fans about this?" I asked him as i eat my cheeseburger.

He rolled his eye and I laughed.

Drinking the cold tea as we watch the view from below us. We brought cheeseburgers, fries and two cold tea for us to eat from open 24 hrs fast food shop.

We're in a small playground. Sitting on a green bleacher with a lantern light post on the side of exclusive subdivision, where the city lights twinkle from the distance.

I'm used to see the city lights from the view in my room window but It's rare to see a view like this when you can see the stars above.

"I usually go here with i was in middle school. Escaping from my guitar practice"

He said bitting his cheeseburger

"Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree is skipping practice? Amused. Sipping my drink.

He laugh defensively

"it's a normal thing. Like you never skip class before?"

I chuckled. "I did skipped class.yeah but it's different."

"How so?" He asked

"You looked like a goody two shoes to me." I said

He disagrees "Nah. I'm not though. Some kids doesn't like me much so i often got into a fight. I'm lucky i got P'Oaf and Mike on my side"

"Really?"

"Yes. We are friends from middle school."

"How did they become your friends?" I asked curiously

"Well.. P'Oaf and Mike are my teammates from football in school. He saw me playing football with Mike on the open field then P'Oaf recruited me to joined their team. Since then we frequently hanging out. up until now." He shared

"How about the others?"i asked again

"The others? You know Moi. She's my cousin. I had workshops together with P'Gunsmile, P'Gun, P'Off and Taptop. Tay from photoshoots we had long before he met Moi."

Then he continue

"Win, we got close from work. We constantly together so I can say he's like my twin while Nani and Dew. they are our new recruits. " He chuckled and smile me.

"It's nice to have friends like them. They are fun to be with" I told him.

He nod once as if he agrees with me.

He looked at me curiously.

"What about you? How did you become friends with Moi and Kai?" He asked

"Moi... she was introduced by my bestfriend Charlie when i coaxed by her moved here in Chiangmai and Kai.. she's my roommate from college up until now."

"Charlie?"

"Charlie Lonzo-Beaumont. She was also invited by Moi today but she couldn't make it because of her son Mace" i said then eat my last piece of the cheeseburger

"Oh. Too bad. I want meet and thank her for coaxing you to stay here in Chiang Mai with me." he tease me

I almost got chocked by the cheeseburger and by his words. Looked at him fiercely as he laughs.

Sipping the cold tea to relieve me.

Bright cleared his throat that made me looked at him.

"Demi, I'm sorry if I can't take you somewhere public around people without making trouble and make you uncomfortable."

He rubs his nape and turned at me as his ears are turning red.

Is he shy? Why would he be?

I chuckled, side bump his arm and said

"I don't what to cause trouble for being with you too."

He was annoyed.

I just smile at him.

He sit on the bleacher like a kid as he watch the city lights below.

Bright really is a layback kind of guy.

I never knew i could have a moment with him.

As we sit and talk about random stuff.

He seems like a normal guy.

–

"I'll see you on sunday?" Bright said as walk me to the elevator of my condo.

"You're going to my exhibit?" I stop and looked at him surprisedly happy.

"Yes. It's my girlfriend's huge day"

"Girlfriend?" I ask him confusedly

"Yes. You." He smirked.

looked at me intensely

What? Me?

How? Since when?

"Me? How?" Dumbfounded. I looked around if someone heard what he said then looked at him again confused.

"You said it at Moi's bar when we met. You said I'm your boyfriend. Multiple times" He said mischievously

I knew it!

I did something stupid.

He's teasing me alright.

He ruffled my hair smiling. "Sorry, force of habit"

He help me fix my hair as my mouth slightly open and my face got flustered from what i heard. I wasn't about to answer him.

"Don't worry. I don't mind if it's you." He wink at me as he guide me to elevator inside.

Still dumbfounded and still looking at him.

"Stop looking at me. Which floor?" He asked beside me.

I pushed 26 button. The elevator door closed with only the two of us.

From the little courage i have left and asked him

"But seriously Bright? You're just teasing me right? Because of what i've said on that day?"

"I don't." He step forward

"I'm serious about you" he said surely with his two hands on his side pockets and looking at me.

"W—Why?" startle

"I already told them you're my girl"
