The Man I Became... Because of You (Completed)

Catching Up

Cantaloupe

I have the day off from work and I'm super bored. I had so much energy this morning that I did all the things on my list to do except my paperwork. I wouldn't mind doing paperwork if I didn't have to sit still for so long and just write stuff. It's like doing my university classes all over again. 

Hate it!

I look at my phone and see that Tin hasn't called to check up on me. I'm relieved. I don't want him to worry and he will once he knows I'm bored. I always end up getting into trouble and then he has to spend some money to save me. Last week I took one of his cars out for a ride and wound up getting a nasty ticket. It was just on a random road. Not a soul passed me once! Why did this officer have to suddenly show up? 

My name is Kirakorn but you an call me Can. Every so often, Author Nim says I will show up here along with my lover Tin. She is actually writing a book mostly for the two of us (Shameless advertising 😉). I am pretty pleased about that. 

I wonder into the kitchen and stare at Koda. "How may I help you Kun Can?"

"Why do you say my name like that P'Koda. I haven't even done anything wrong." I whine at him.

"Not yet at least." He chuckles and I pout because I can be good. I know I can.

My phone rings and I pout some more. Bet me that's Tin? How much are you willing to throw in?What?! That is not a sucker bet!

"Yes Husband?" I hardly ever answer him like this. He is immediately suspicious.

"What are you doing? Where are you?"

"In the kitchen about to ask P'Koda for cake... Oh thank you. Mmmmm. Chocolate!"

"Do you want to stay there and make me a cheesecake? I feel like one. You make it really good." I know what he's up to but I'm in the mood to humor him.

"I guess. Just one?"

"Actually I want three and I'm hoping they will be a new recipe. I want to try something new. Will I get to eat it off you later?"

I choke on my cake and look at the phone. This man is shameless. "Dirty Tinn. Bye!"

I put my phone down as I blush. I guess I can look up new recipes. 

The phone rings again and I sigh. He must have forgotten to...

This number. Could it be? I answer it swiftly as excitement courses through me. I'm so wound up. I forget to say hello.

"Can?"

"Pete? Is it really you? Are you back?" I leap up from the stool and rush out of the kitchen and into my office.

"Can! Yes. Are you coming to the BBQ on Saturday?" He asks as I drop on my sofa and grab a pillow. I can't believe Pete is calling me. He must have come back. Wait. For how long? I hope it hasn't been long. Then I remember he asks me something about a BBQ. Food!

"BBQ? What?" At the same time I ask that, I hear the ping of a message so I check it one time since its from Pond. I RSVP without hesitation because no matter what, I'm not missing this. Should I include Tinn? What the heck. He'll come anyway because I'm going.

"Hi. Sorry. Pete?" I'm back to the call.

"Hey. I'm here. Did you just get the message or something?"

"Yes. I don't care what we are doing on Saturday, Tin and I will be there. I already sent him a message. So have you seen Ae? And if you haven't then why the hell not?"

"He came on the airport. Can? What's it like when you and Tin spend a long time apart?"

I pause. This is a hard question for me but it can't be as hard as it was for Petre. What is 3 to 4 months compared to 3 years?
