Thirty Eight

•DEMI•

(POV)

"So what shall we do on weekends?" Bright asked as he stood leaning on the door frame with his folded arm just like what he did on the day we met the difference is he's wearing a muscle tee. I can see the his tone arms visibly.

How in the world he looks kind a different now. Did he went back to the gym I didn't know?

And Even in his busiest days he still manage to keep in touch with me. How to be you, Vachirawit?

I gulped unconsciously and divert my eyes at Ame as she was lying near me as i sat on the loveseat from Bright's studio room.

"Hmm.. I don't know." I answered as i pet Ame in her belly. I looked at him again. ogling his arm.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked back.

What do i feel I'm betraying my fellow people.

I just appreciating him for heaven's sake!

Bright looking at me slightly narrowed as if he's puzzled then walks toward me and said

"Nothing in particular."

He sits on the available seat next to me as he try to play the ends of my hair.

"I just want to stay indoor with you."

What a sweet giant bug.

I looked up at him with a smile.

Then i lean at him as he kisses the top of my head and listening to the an indie music playing in the background.

If this is a trial relationship feels like how much more a real relationship could be?

My face turns crimson as my thoughts drift to the romantic explicit smut land. I can feel my ears burning.

This is my friends fault. 3 weeks after Luke's mom's birthday. The three freaky vixens basically let me sit next to them while they discussed their experiences and watching explicit movie that made me question them and myself.

Will i experience it too?

I mean what my friends experience?

Real genuine romantic relationship. All access.

Not the extreme ridiculous stuff we saw on the tv.

Just the kiss. You know the mind bending kiss. I know he has a few fair share experience in that department even if he won't admit it. I saw his on the tv series too.

Not that i want to. I'm just curious.

I sighed as I buried my face at him to hide my embarrassing self. But that made me stop when i smelled him. His comforting scent.

Damn.

This is not good.

He smell really good. Too good today.

"Is something wrong?" Bright stiffened

I look up at him with my mouth slightly parted as he hold my chin with his fingers.

Seeing him up close like this feels too good to be true still. His perfect eyebrows slightly furrowed complements his intense gaze and nose. We can't forget lips. And his adoring cutest cupid bow.

I involuntary swallowed again.

"Babe, are you sure you're okay?"

I can hear the loud pumping of my chest and my skin pricked with panic as i stare at his face. He looks the same but different. Like he's glowing or in a weird slow-mo.

"Babe?" He slightly furrowed his eyebrows

I hiccup.

"Why are so red? Are you not feeling well?"

He immediately cup my face and started checking my temperature.

"Nooo Uhmm I.."

I removed his hand from me and then i stand immediately.

"I-i just need to go the the restroom" i said abruptly as i exit to the nearest restroom I could find.

–

I wash my face with a cold water As i calm my heart, i staring at my flustered self in the mirror. I fanned myself with my hand. Trying to process what i'm feeling. I never experience this weird feeling before.

Why do i feel like i'm in a romcom movie.

(POV)

Demi's being weird all a sudden. She won't get next to me. Avoiding any contact from me and then if i talk to her, her face is always flustered.

It been a few hours since her sudden walk out from my the studio. I don't know what i did wrong?

Should i take her to the doctor?

What had she been thinking?

I watch her reading a colleen something novel in the reading nook near the stairs as i drink a glass of water in the kitchen. I checked the watch and it's almost time to prepare for our dinner.

I went to the fridge checking what i need from tonight's meal. Putting my some stuff in the kitchen countertop.

"Babe?"

"Uhm Y-yes?"

"Can you help me out?"

"Where are you?"

"In the Kitchen"

I can feel she's standing next to me as i was peeling the onion. Trying my not to turn around to looked at her.

"Yes, babe? What can i help you with?" She asked with her soft voice.

Babe? Did i heard her right?

I look at her she seems uncomfortable as she was scratching her forearm.

I cough briefly; raised my eyebrows and said "Can you help me clean the leaves, babe? For the salad"

She nodded once the went to the kitchen sink.

I followed her up looking adorable tiptoeing front of the kitchen sink. I stand at her back wrapping her with my hands on the countertop edge. Unable to escape.

"What do you think you're doing?" She hissed.

"You don't mind if i wash my hands first?" I whispered on her left ear.

As she stiffened. I heard her hiccup. I can feel her hair rising as I slightly leaning to turned on the faucet to wash my hand.

Damn!

Why am i enjoying this?

I heard her gulp loudly as I lean forward; almost hugging her from behind. I can feel her body tensed up.

"Vachirawit"

"What babe?" As I lean further hugging her from behind.

She tries to duck but i was faster. I turned off the faucet and hurriedly carried her to the available kitchen countertop envelope by two arms facing her as she tries to escaped.

She sighed loudly as if she gives up. I can't help the corners of my mouth turned up.

"This is not fair."

" Yes. this is not fair, babe. You keep avoiding me all afternoon." I said looking at her

"Did you think i didn't notice?"

She close her mouth and avoiding my gaze.

"Babe? Look at me?

"Talk to me. Did I've done something wrong?"

I lean forward at her as i slide my both my hands in the kitchen countertop as if we're almost in the same level.

"No"

I inched forward

"Then, what is this? Babe?" I said softly.

A few silent pause from the both of us.

"Nothing"

I sighed. I bite my lower lip out of frustration.

She close her eyes.

"I-I don't know i-it's just that, this passed few days."

Then opens it glancing up my eyes.

"I-I feeling something funny when I looked at you"

"Feel something funny?" I repeated as she looked back at me with questioning eyes.

I inched forward again as she tries to lean back, only backslash of the cold granite helping me held her captive.

I can see her lip tense up as i stare at her endearing lip and back to her eyes.

"F-Funny like I can't think straight and thinking about you funny" she added

"W-what?"

She slowly nodded with her captivating doe eyes.

I slightly return my hands near the edge of the countertop. Trying to understanding what she trying to say.

Are you saying you have feelings for me too?

"Demi, is this what i think this is?"

I tightened jaw sharply as i involuntary swallowed and my brows creases in puzzlement.

"Yeah"

It was getting difficult to concentrate when she staring back at me. Waiting.

I summoned my courage to asked her. Wanting to this since then.

"Babe, can i kiss you?"

"W-what?" Her flustered face.

She pause then nodded slowly once.

I chuckled.

I bend forward towards her lips. As I pressed a kiss on her softy parted lip and she close eyes as i close mine, my heartbeat rose by our intimate nearness. She clumsily loop her arms around my neck as i move my arms around her.

I can help smile as she kiss me back as she sank her clumsy fingers into my back part of my hair. Held her in place and pressed close to her. Her lips to mine intertwined.

A smile slowly stretched my lips as my ears turned red. After a surprised hesitation, we did it again. I took the lead showing her how it was done. Kissing. She bit her lip as she could hardly breathe after. I felt like second when in fact minutes and she said

"Oh my God, you taste good!"

I grin peeking around the edge of my mouth.

"Are you laughing at me or judging me?" She narrowed her eyes.

"No babe. You're words. you sure have a way with words" I chuckled as i kiss her temples and hug her tight.

What a dork.

She didn't know how funny she is at times. Even if it's an accident or not.

With her furrowed brows, she whispered

"Vachirawit,

Is this what I think this is? It's not a trial slash fan crush thing anymore. Don't you think?"
