Twenty Six

•DEMI•

(POV)

Walking towards the kitchen where i can see Bright looking hot wearing a white shirt and denim pants roaming around and checking out something. He seem to be at home now at my condo.

"What cha doin'?"

Ask him lean on the small island separating my small dining area to my kitchen.

He look at me as he raise both is eyebrows confusedly.

"Looking for food.

I'm surprised to see there's lack of it here when i know for a fact you have a chef living right across to your room."

I smiled broadly and scratch my temple with my index finger.

I was preoccupied to buy some groceries yesterday and Kai have been busy nowadays. Having two restaurants to take care and manage, I sure it will always take her mind off about everything else.

I don't mind having no food at home. I always order take out anyways. But coffee. It should be always in my pantry.

He went to where my coffee maker was and he poured a cup of coffee bringing it towards me. Putting it down in front of me.

"It's seems this is the only thing you're living off."

Pinching my nose gentle then rest both his elbow in the island in front of me as I laughed at him shyly then sip on the mug.

"Thanks"

Maybe he saw my extreme stashed of coffee beans pouch inside the cupboard.

He shakes his head but i can see the corner of his lips turning up as he lean towards me.

"I forgot to buy yesterday. Don't worry I'll order us some breakfast" i said defensively

"I can always accompany you to the grocery"

"Nice try Vachirawit. People will mob you there"

"Not if we go during off peak hours."

I pursued my lip to the side and looked at him doubtfully that made him laugh.

"Stop that. I need to buy some stuff too"

"What stuff?" I asked

"Something for me to wear. Some spare clothes and underwear–

"–Okay okay. I get it."

Underwear? I forgot he spent the night here.

Why i never thought of having spare clothes for him. I do have spare larger size shirt in my drawer that i use to wear when i sleep sometimes. I should buy extra in case this happens again.

Happens again? Really Demi?

Why am i even thinking about this?

I better stop this nonsense as i sip my cup of coffee.

"Why are blushing? Are thinking something dirty babe"

I almost choked on my coffee as i gave him the disgusted look.

"What the hell? Noooo!"

"But your face... tells Yes

Don't be shy babe." he added with a confident smirk

"I love seeing you blush"

I rolled my eyes as i change the topic.

"Yah, Yah.

I'll just grab my phone.

I better order us food first."

He has that amused look on his face as he laughed loudly.

I walk quickly to my room to get my phone.

and order something from my usual takeout place. I returned to where he was. Now he's sitting in the couch with 2 cups of coffee in the coffee table.

"What do you want to eat?" I asked him sitting beside him

He said as he was checking something on his phone.

"Anything will do, babe"

I nodded at him.

I order us some pancakes, eggs and bacon. I hope he likes it. I'm not a healthy conscious person. As Bright drink the cup of coffee from the coffee table then put it back.

He put his phone down on the couch as he seem to remember something and sit comfortably facing me. His intense eyes looked at me strangely enough I laughed.

I raised eyebrows as i sip my cup of coffee

"What?"

He lick is dried lips, gulped as he furrowed his eyebrows at me and said.

"You seem to forgotten about what happened last night?"

Oh no.

I thought i charmed him enough to forget what i did.

Hayyyy. Drunk again. When will i ever learn.

Why did i even did that.

I stayed silent. I put my mug back to the coffee table and bite my lower lip. The mood becomes serious as i wait for Bright to tell me what happened.

"Moi called me last night worried and told me you're at the her bar. My girlfriend who I can't contact last night is at the bar. passed out on the bar counter. Again"

He continue and sighed.

He touch my cheek and said

"I don't what to make a big deal out of this, Babe. But this still concerns me."

I moved closer to him and lean my head to his shoulder, putting my hand to his waist and hug him. It's my apology for making him worried yesterday. I was being selfish of only thinking about what i felt not realizing I trouble the people around me.

"I really didn't mean to do that, babe."

He pat my head softly and said

"If you want to talk about it and you're ready to share. You can always talk to me"

As i nodded and i can hear him chuckled.

"I've been wooing you for more than 2 months now. I pretty much know all your mood."

He said teasingly that made me chuckled.

Actually, It been 2 blissful months and 2 weeks.

After the concert and his surprise meet up with his family, We been happily hanging out at my condo or at his house in our free time. I didn't expected i'll be comfortable with him just after a few months. I still have those butterflies every time his around me but now i can fully manage. Who wouldn't be? when you're speed up boyfriend is Vachirawit.

We never gone public together. Not without our friends around and we're lucky the public don't know about it.

Yet.

And I hope they will never found out.

I thought we couldn't make it this far and i never knew how time flies so fast until sitting with him here at my couch now.

I felt like my throat is dry as I gulped nervously. Hesitating to tell him about my dad.

"It's my dad's birthday yesterday."

He paused.

Removed his hand on my head and asked

"You want to talk about it?"

With a long sighed and i utter.

"It's nothing. I—i just miss him..

The old him"

I close my eyes nuzzled towards his neck that I didn't realized i was hovering him. I can clearly smell his scent which surprisingly comforting mix with his aftershave. I wrapped my arm around his waist tightly. As he pat my forearm slowly in return.

I don't know if this is the right time to tell him. About my past or why I permanently moved here. I just don't Bright to worry about me and get involved about my problems. I don't want to trouble him.

We stayed at the position for a quiet moment. I don't remember how long back it was comforting.

"Babe?"

"Hmmm"

"You do know what you're doing is making it difficult for me?"

I removed my arm from him and looked at him confusedly. He cleared his throat and bite his lower lip as he stared at me down to my lips. I can see how red his ears are.

"What did i do?"

He sighed disappointedly

"Unbelievable"

Why would he react like that? Did i do something wrong again?

He moves his face far too close to mine while looking at my lips. I gulped loudly. This made me nervously hot as my heart beats so fast. I was not expecting this sudden action. His face is less than an inch from me I can't help to close my eyes.

A few moments i heard he chuckled loudly.

He kissed my forehead that made open my eyes. disappointed.

"Expecting something babe"

"What should i expect?" I said nonchalantly as looking away. I can feel the heat of my face for the embarrassment i felt.

Why did i assume he'll kiss me?

Damn! this is embarrassing.

He touch my chin that made me look to his intense eyes.

"Should i be a gentleman and wait or be a bastard and devour you?"

What?

Did i heard him right?

He looks like Sarawat here. I can't breath

•BRIGHT•

(POV)

Okay. That was a bad move.

Me and Demi is currently at the grocery store to buy the stuff we need. I'm lucky only few people are shopping and they seem not to recognize me.

I'm pushing the cart while Demi pick everything cautiously and we are not speaking at the moment.

I was not thinking and let my emotions control me. How could i not?

She's too close and tempting.

She basically started it.

What a little vixen.

She freakout and panicked. Pushing me hard on the couch and storm off to the restroom. For a small woman that she is. She's surprisedly strong.

Walking beside her and I coughed loudly to get her attention.

"Are you still mad?" I asked softly

"what do you want to eat? I cooked for you"

"You don't have a work today?"

She asked briefly.

Did she just ignore my question. Again?

I forgot to tell her i'll be gone for Bangkok. We are starting our new drama series with Win. The shoot and interviews will be held there mostly now. We will be gone every week for 3 months.

"Tomorrow at dawn for Bangkok"

She stop and looked at me. She asked curiously

"For how long?"

I said nonchalantly

"Just a couple of days or a week.

Depends our shoot and schedule."

She nodded and pout as i put my hand on my pocket and face her.

"Don't pout babe.

I'll be back a soon as possible."

said softly as i hold her hand.

"Will you forgive me now?

I promise i will behave. And..

I will not do something to you unless you want me to."
