CHAPTER 15
DATING
I spent my school holidays wisely. Finally, the two weeks that I had enjoyed with my Nong were over. In this second term, looking at my class schedule, I noticed the weekly holidays have changed. Originally I had holidays for two days in a row, which were Friday and Saturday. This term I have them on Wednesday and Sunday. i was quite dissatisfied when I saw it. I wanted more consecutive holidays, but I can’t do anything.
Today is the first holiday of this term. On Wednesday evening, I have an appointment with the little guy to roam around the mall for a little bit. To be honest, I had never taken him anywhere. When we have free time, we only cuddle in my bed. Coming to think of it, it took Tain to open my eyes.
Last week, when I invited Tain to go on a trip today. My nong was so happy that I had to cancel my plans with my friends to be with him. Actually today is Vivi’s birthday, my friends made plans to meet in the evening to go drinking at home. But I already declined it since I have an important date with important person. Vivi nodded, he understood it and told us that he too had to declined it, since he too already made plans. So the group of friends dispersed, so there was no birthday party at all.
Oh, a little update. My friends know that I have a lover, but no one has ever seen Tain. Today, the younger man sent a different picture since he took a picture of the bathroom before taking a shower for me to see in the Line. It was our normal daily life reports and I couldn’t help but open Tain’s message before zooming in the picture of his smooth skin. And the person who saw his message this time was Martin. He was standing behind me when I opened Tain’s message. He had already met Tain, which made him remember my nong. Now he’s shouting loudly about where the Phi-Nong took the photos like this.
When my friends heard about the milky white skin, they got excited. They were thrilled after Martin gave details on how he met Tain and what was he like. Especially the word “Nong” is cute that comes off his mouth. Playing with my friends was really fun. I don’t know if they're shocked that I have a lover or what. They even locked me up and stole my cell phone, took a look at the LINE where I had talked to nong to check.
The words we talked in there are already a clear sign of our status. But in the end, they didn’t see a picture of Tain in the profile line because Tain took the picture of the hands we held on the profile. They can only close their eyes to the imagination of Martin’s words and send a big wee voice.
When a friend started asking me back how my nong and I ended up getting together, I couldn’t answer it. Everything seemed quicker and easier than others. Because we’ve been close since childhood. Besides, I think I’ve been overlooking him for years and actually everyday I walked back into the house, I’d always look for Tain before entering the house everyday. Some days my feet would slow down so my nong can see me and shout hello. Honestly, I’ve always been interested in Tain, I just didn’t knew it.
But our turning point, I have to give it to him for having the courage to tell me he’s going to flirt with me. This was the turning point. When being hit by my nong, I always defended myself. I was so addicted to the cute, cheerful and brightness of Tain that I can’t pull away. So nowadays there’s not a second I’m thinking of cheating, there are other people even the girl on the line, I still didn’t even dare to talk. Afraid of being scolded by Tain. This kid, when he’s angry, is going to be very loud. It always shocks me. Besides Tain is so good to me that I can’t cheat on my nong.

“Um, Phi is going to pick you up.”
[First date, don’t be late. In half an hour, Tain will be out of school. You haven’t been home yet? In the evening, you know how bad the traffic is? You know my school is about to end. Why didn’t you prepare first?"
Complaining…
“I woke up late. If I'm late, wait a little.”
[Tain is complaining, I'm mad at you.]
I can hear his friends saying, ‘Shit.’ I can’t help but smile. Tain laughs cheerfully back before turning to show off his husband a bit.
“It’s almost there, I’ll call you, that’s all.”
[I'll wait for you, muah, muah.]
Ending the call, I turned around and looked at myself in front of the mirror to see how handsome I was. When I was ready from the tip of the hair to the tip of the foot, I hurried to come down. I grabbed the keys and told my parents that I was going out immediately in a hurry.
“Will you come back to have dinner?”
“I should probably come back in the evening, but I can have it in case I’m hungry late at night.”
I knew that I was definitely going to be late today because I woke up late, but I was trying to be quick to shorten my time, even if it was a little bit of time, even when I picked up a slice of bread I hadn’t picked up yet. I’m afraid that I would be slow now I’m starving. Driving through heavy traffic with the noise from the pit of my stomach is always a friend.
The car moves two meter at a time as it approaches the nong's school. Now I’m late for about twenty minutes after Tain’s classes were over. It’s expected to take about fifteen minutes to enter the school.
Rrrr
<3 Little Nong <3
[I'm almost here, Tain is hungry, uh hungry that I can eat the whole yacht.]
“No more than fifteen minutes. Where are you?”
[Tain is in the library, bringing books back, then Tain will walk out and wait for Phi in front. Wait in front of the seventh bus stop. You don’t have to come inside.]
“Oh, okay.”
[P'Yacht ate already?]
“Not yet.”
[Okay, so I'll come out and see you. Let’s meet. Muah.]
The car is still moving a little bit. But it’s good that traffic police released this side of the car longer than the first time, so it hasn’t been stuck in the same place for a long time. When coming off from the front of the school grounds, traffic is as smooth, as if I'm in a different world than before.
I slowed the car as I approached the appointment point. I immediately turned on the light to turn into the left lane when I saw that Tain had stepped on the foot path and wave his hand. Thin figure ran nonstop, came into the car as soon as I was parked in front.
“Tain brought you water and tuna sandwiches that P'Yacht likes. You woke up and got out immediately so you’re probably hungry.”
Tain said, opening the water bottle while inserting the straw into the bottle and extending it to me to suck on it. I, who is in charge of driving, still held onto the steering wheel on both sides. As for the person sitting next to me, he fed me water, fed me the snacks like that until I was used to it. Some days I pick up Tain at school like this, whichever day I’m free, I just pick up and go home but we never went out like today.
At home, I was usually get asked where I would take the car, but now they've stopped asking since every time I drove out, that was to pick up and drop off Tain. If I’m going anywhere alone, is there a way that I would drive out through traffic jams like this? There is no way, If it wasn’t for my nong, I wouldn’t have tolerated traffic in Thailand.
“What are we doing today, what does Yacht want to do, eat, watch movies, play games…”
After feeding me all the sandwiches, the chatterbox asked while collecting the garbage in the bag.
“Don’t want to play games."
“So, watch movie? There is one that Tain wants to see."
“If you want to see it, we can see it. But we have to eat first.”
“I’m hungry, I want buffet, I want to eat a lot.”
“Eat all you want."
I’m not a good person. Studying was enough for me. I was living like an empty shell that was afraid of cockroaches and lizards. Even more, I avoided being in love. I’m afraid of the pressure that comes with it. I was born to be alone. But being in a relationship with Tain made me realize that at least I have one thing. That is indulging my nong’s heart, and getting into the younger one’s pants is my pleasure as well.
I turned the car into one of the area’s most famous shopping malls. My nong is so glad so even I’m happy.
“First date. Usually I used to walk with my friends, never with my boyfriend.”
“I’ll bring you often.”
If nong likes it, how can I say no? We looked for a place to park until we were able to, which lasted nearly twenty minutes. Just like that, it was now evening. Everyone visits here after school, especially students. This mall is close to my own university
We walked inside the mall. My nong and I walked to look at the restaurant sign next to the escalator to see which restaurant are interesting on the floor. Tain frowns intently, looking at the sign. I looked at Tain earnestly too. When I saw my nong in the midst of passing students like this, I couldn’t help but think that if Tain was wearing student uniform, how cute he would look, would he look grown up? For Tain who was in his last year in high school, he will be graduating soon. Within less than a year left, he will become a freshman once he steps into the university while I will be in my fourth year.
I think Tain will be hot to see in uniform. Just thinking about it, I feel like dying.
“P'Yacht, Tain wants to eat at this place, but that restaurant is delicious.”
“Choose now."
The look on his face is so beautiful, there’s not much to make this kid more embarrassed than food. I let Tain decide to look again, but while I was arranging the back of the school shirt for Tain, I can feel the touch on my left shoulder.
“Yacht.”
That voice…
I turned around and looked at it straight away, and then, as I really thought, Miu walked in and greeted me, causing me to take a step back. The little one who was not aware of it, turned to Miu and raised his hands to pay respect. Me and Miu, we haven’t been in touch in a long time. No, we haven't. It’s just me trying to distance myself. Miu kept texting me, calling me, which I didn’t usually answer, but I answered a few messages. The end- to- end answer is just send a sticker. It’s not that I don’t have the guts, it’s just that I’m tired of going back to the way I was. I don’t want to give Miu hope. I know she loves me, but it’s been a long time coming. The one that I love isn't Miu anymore.
“Hanging out?”
“Um, Miu just finished watching the movie, I’m going to get something to eat.”
“Who are you with?”
Ah, I shouldn’t have asked her this even if I came with my new boyfriend, I shouldn’t have intervened as I was her ex-boyfriend.
“Come with…”
“Whatever, let’s go eat.” I interrupted her reply.
Speaking of which, I’ve always been avoiding Miu. I reached for my arms around the neck of Tain to follow me out of the awkward situation there, even if he didn’t know the history. Still smiling at me.
“Wait, Yacht.”
Me and my nong were stopped before turning around and looking at the man who followed us.
“Miu always bugs you, if you give me a chance this time, I promised not to be an idiot to annoy Yacht again.”
I-I didn’t think that I’d ever hear this sentence from this person in front of me. How much courage must it take in order to speak like this in front of me? Her reasonably loud tone attracted those around her to look at us. It put a lot of pressure on me, but I didn’t think I’d answer anything because I couldn’t figure it out. I nodded and smiled faintly before taking Tain to the other side.
My heart wasn’t too distracted to see Miu again, or the sentences she said were all the sentences I’d read before. She’s been texting this kind of message quite often, but I was shocked to hear it with my own ears.
“Your ex-girlfriend?”
“Hmmm."
“The person named Miu who likes to call you, is that her?"
“Hmmm."
Tain walked quietly, and I knew he would feel bad since my ex-girlfriend came to talk in front of me and my nong, but I wasn’t a good talker. I don’t know what to say in the situation right now to make Tain feel better. I didn't know what to do except for sliding my hand from his neck to his hand. I gave a light squeeze to show him that I’m still beside him here.
“Are you going back to Miu?”
A sweet face comes up and asks. We stopped walking while we look at each other. The bright, sad eyes were so visibly reduced that my heart was twitching.
“I’m not going back, I’m going to be with this guy.”
I raised my index finger to his left chest. The words that came out of my mouth were clear and straight from my heart. I don’t know if it’s sweet enough to make this little boy in front of me have a good mood. Let’s just hope that the affirmative action will be strong enough for Tain to trust me.
“I’m relieved, there’s nothing to fight for, I don’t know what to do with you.”
“I'm not going to leave you.”
“Really, that’s how much Tain means to you?”
“I’m here and that says a lot.”
“Shew! Assuming.”
Tain’s smiling. My nong walked to the restaurant zone. Looks like he was able to decide which restaurant to eat.
“Tain, will you watch a movie? Better to buy a movie tickets first then sit back and eat."
“Yes, I will choose where we can eat real quick, you can buy the ticket first.”
The movie theater is in the upper floor. I walked up to the escalator and reached it. I walked and took my nong’s hand until we stopped and watched the movie together. We decided to watch in the evening so that we could have some time to eat and digest a little more. Tain volunteered to buy his own ticket, so I gave him money and waited on the big red sofa.
Today, people come to watch a lot of movies, maybe because on Wednesday, there’s a half price promotion. Well I stopped today. So if Tain wants to watch a movie, I can bring my nong all the time and get a discount. This way, I can easily bring Tain to travel often.
“Yacht."
Who the hell is that? It’s not good to come to a mall near campus. Only acquaintances are there. There’s a lot of people who know me but don’t walk in. Like I said, how hot I am in college? Who doesn’t know the handsome Yacht of mechanical engineering is?
“P’Yacht.”
It wasn’t until I looked up who called in the first place. My little guy ran over and dropped himself and squeezed beside me. Along with showing me a movie ticket. I nodded for a moment, before looking at the person walking to stop right in front of me.
“Kai. Martin.”
Tain looked at the two of them in front of him and smiled and raised his hands always. They finished paying their respects, and Kai dropped up and sat next to me on the other side. He quickly snagged the newly purchased game disc. Martin raised his cellphone to take several pictures of me and Tain. The little guy next to me saw him taking a picture, raised two fingers to the camera again. Probably because he’d seen Martin before, Tain played with him. But I know without wasting my time guessing where Martin going to send the newly taken photos.
“Man, this is the game I told you the other day. I’ll go back and play and tell you if it’s fun and up to the hype.”
“Oh, I’ll wait for spoilers from you. Where did Ken go?”
“He sent his girlfriend to the dorm.”
I gave Kai a face before returning to the other side and seeing Tain stroking Martin’s arm. Without any delayed, I quickly reached out and pulled out my nong’s hand before glancing at the two of them.
“What are you doing?”
“Yacht, this P'Martin's jacket, the leather is very soft. I try to wear it and it has a pocket here too, so it’s so cool.”
Tain, Tain. I’m really speechless with you being too familiar with other people. When you met the first time, you rubbed his shirt. You meet for the second time, you rubbed again. Martin glanced at me while raising a slight smile in the corner of his mouth. His sharp gaze with amused eyes.
“Are you jealous of Tain and me?”
Jealous? No, I’m not jealous of Martin. I just don’t like Tain grabbing other men. I didn’t answer Martin a word, even if there was an answer in my mind.
“Let’s go eat first, I’m hungry.”
I reached for Tain to get up and say goodbye to their two friends. I hope I don’t see anyone else. My ex-girlfriend found me. Friends found me and that’s enough. I want to live with Tain in peace.
"Let's eat at this place.”
Tain dragged me to a stop at one of the buffet restaurant before opening up the menu place in front of the scalded restaurant.
“Is it worth eating? We can’t eat seafood.”
“But Tain can eat pork, eat meat, eat a lot of desserts.”
“Then whatever you want.”
We followed the staff inside the shop with japanese style decorations perfectly. In the shop now, most of them are students from my university. Many of them are familiar faces, so they greeted me. When we reached an empty table, we sat down, listened to the staff introducing the food for a while after the staff went to Tain, manage to pick up the order paper and write down the number of each type of food that he wanted to eat immediately.
“P'Yacht, let’s see if that’s enough. Tain already ordered for you here.”
I picked up a menu from my Nong to sweep the rough amount of writing before sending it to the staff who were walking, but my eyes met another pair of people sitting at our side table.
Oh, Nong Manao, my old fling..
The beautiful girl smiled and waved to me. Tain saw everything, so I nodded my head and turned my attention to the person in front of me.
“Why are you looking at me like that?”
“What about this person, ex-girlfriend or an old fling?”
Tain tilts the neck, asks with a serious expression. I understand my nong must be annoyed to come across something like this, The nickname 'ambush tiger' that I got, it wasn’t because of luck, I’ve been lurking a lot of girls, with Nong Manao, we’ve been in touch for a while. If I remember correctly, the fling was just for a month, we’ve been to the movies together once. As for the thing, there’s no such thing as nothing.
“…”
“Answer me.”
“The latter, but a long time ago, nothing now.”
“Oh, I didn’t know your Old fling. It’s not bad,. Phi. And now there are still more flings? Will there be some guys as well?”
“No." I said.
“Tain loves you but if you hurt Tain any day, you’ll never come back to love like Mu Poi did. It will be over.”
Miu Poi? What the is that? Mu Poi I couldn’t hold back, but my serious face and bleak sentences can’t make me laugh, but sigh and looked at Tain.
“There’s no one. No need to be paranoid. It’s just us.”
“Do you dare to leave your cell phone with Tain all day?”
“Dare."
“Do you dare to get a status on facebook that you’re dating Tain?”
“Dare."
“Do you dare take a picture of your partner?”
“Dare.”
We made eye contact with every answer. I’m not answering to please my nong, but I’m really brave. What is there to be embarrassed about? If we live on someone else’s mouth, how can we be happy? Who’s going to say that anyway? I’m so happy. If you want it, I’d be happy to do anything.
“Well, I’m fine. Excuse me, today Tain was too frightened. Tain was afraid. Another thing Tain did not that you have flirted before. Don’t be mad with me.”
“I’m not angry, but I want you to know that I’m not cheating on us, never mind.”
A sulky, sweet face reveals a big smile again. My heart’s going to get a little damper. From now on, I’m going to have to build a lot of more confidence in Tain. To wipe out my snout past, how do you relive it? When I had a girlfriend before, each person always have something we disagreed with. I’m not too jealous of me. It’s why I secretly open up to other people to fill in the part where I was bored, and with a child who couldn’t think of me, I became so used to it.
But now, not since Tain came in, everything has changed. Tain understands me everything. I’ve never felt so lacking or wanted more. Think of the words Vivi used to tell me to try dating a guy in case it worked. But it only worked, but it must be this guy, because if it were someone else, I wouldn’t be open to this.
