100 Reasons

REASON 16 || I trust him, even though I do not want to ||

Amy drinks some of her coffee, her eyes moving from the brown liquid in the cup to the girl opposite of her. "It's really cute that he takes the time to tutor you. Most people I know don't do that unless they get paid for it." Amy notes, enjoying her coffee while listening to the story. Fai nods. "I never expected him to do something like that, but he really is a sweetheart." she mumbles, making her friend frown. "Okay, half an hour ago you were still ranting at how much you dislike him and that kind of stuff and now you are telling me he is a 'sweetheart'?" the dark-haired cannot help but grin. "You are so in love with this guy and you don't even realize it yourself." she adds, shaking her head. Fai wants to say something, but she cannot think of anything that will help her out of this situation. No matter what she will say, Amy is convinced that she likes him, so she will not be able to change her mind.

"Okay Fai, I have a very important question for you." she says, making her friend look up at her with a questioning look. Amy leans forward, a big smile on her face while she whispers the next words: "Did you get to see his tattoos?"
Fai her eyes grow wide, she never expected this question from her friend. But now that she thinks of it, this is exactly what she expected from Amy. Fai looks away, breaking eye contact with her friend. "I might have..." she mumbles, making her friend almost choke on the coffee she is drinking. "Oh my gosh, tell me more!" she says, encouraging her friend. "No, that's for later. If you want me to tell you the whole story, you have to wait for a little more." Fai smiles, knowing her friend wants to murder her for making her wait any longer. "Then why don't you quickly tell me the rest; I need to know how and when you saw his tattoos. Does he have a lot? Is his whole body covered? What do they look like?" Amy fires all sorts of questions at her friend, but Fai cannot hear any of it. "Okay, whatever you want to know, I will tell you later. I should first continue with my reasons, shouldn't I?" the brunette raises an eyebrow, her friend nods quickly. "Yes please, continue, tell me reason number three." Amy practically begs her friend, she never thought the story would be this interesting, but it turns out her friend is a great storyteller. "Okay, another reason why I think I might like him is that I trust him, even though I don't want to." Fai bites her lip softly. "I mean, at first I was a little bit cautious, but not long after that I followed him without being scared or worried he would take me to a dangerous place or anything." Fai further explains. "Why would you be scared, it's not like he ever kidnapped you or anything, right?" Amy frowns. "No of course not, but he has this habit of grabbing my wrist and pulling me with him without telling me where we are going."

Fai sits down carefully, looking around as if she has never been in a bus before. King sits down next to her on the bench that is actually a little too small for two people, his shoulder pressing against hers. Fai always thought it would be uncomfortable to be sitting so close to someone, but in a weird way she does not mind it at all this time. "Why are we on this bus?" Fai frowns, she rarely takes the bus, it is always too crowded and on a hot day like today it is a place you better just avoid at all costs. "Don't you like to take the bus?" King asks, he looks at the girl next to him, a smile creeping up on his face. "It's not that I don't like it, I just want to know where you're taking me." Fai pouts a little, he never tells her where they are going. "Just wait for a little, we are almost there." he reassures the brunette. A deep sigh leaves Fai her lips. "I can't believe you dragged me all the way here and still won't tell me where we are going."

King puts his arm around her shoulder and pulls the younger girl closer to him. "Don't worry, there is something I wanted to show you, okay?" Fai does not answer.
"You trust me, right?" the dark-haired asks, making the girl look up at him. Fai slowly nods. "I honestly have no idea why, but yeah I do." she says, making King smile even brighter.

After a twenty-minute bus ride the couple gets off, finally able to breath in some fresh air again. "Okay, I thought I had seen every place in Bangkok, but I have no clue where we are right now." Fai says, looking around curiously. "We are just outside Bangkok, I live in that house over there." King points at the house at the end of the street. It looks enormous, way bigger than the house Fai lives in. "Wait, you live there?" Fai asks with a frown. King nods, he grabs the younger one by her wrist and gently pulls her with him. "You're taking me to your home?" Fai her eyes grow wide, she did not realize they were already at that point of their relationship. Or whatever it is that is going on between the two of them. "Don't worry, my mother won't be home until late tonight. I just want to show you something." King explains, making the brunette sigh in relief. "I always thought you lived in a little apartment somewhere in Bangkok." Fai asks while looking around, trying to take in the beautiful scenery. She never knew it was this beautiful just outside the city. "I do, but I come home every now and then. My mother always nags me that I do not come home often enough. I was thinking about moving back in, but I'm still not sure if I should." In the meantime the two walk up the driveway. "Wow, the house is amazing. It looks really beautiful with all the flowers." Fai is in awe, she never expected P'King to live in a big house like this covered with flowers and plants. "If you already like this, then you will love the place I'm about to show you." King smiles, instead of walking over to the front door he walks around the house. Fai silently follows him, enjoying the sweet scent of the flowers in the garden. It turns out the backyard looks even more beautiful, decorated with all different kinds of plants, trees and even a pond. "Is this even a backyard of a house? It looks like a complete park!" Fai spins around, enjoying herself. "I knew you would love it here. The backyard is the place I always come back to. It's a great place to relax and clear your mind." A bright smile is on King's lips while he looks at Fai, it is cute to see how much she loves this. "Because I love the garden this much, my parents made me a little cottage in the back of the yard. It's my secret place where I always run off to when I need some time for myself or when I want to be alone." King walks further. "It's really sweet your parents did that for you." Fai says, she looks at the older boy and cannot help but smile. Why does he look so handsome surrounded by all the plants and flowers?

King takes Fai inside his little cottage, it is bigger than it looks from the outside. The walls are all made of glass and this place too is decorated with a lot of plants and flowers. There is even a bookcase. "P'King... This is amazing." Fai is completely blown away; this place is way better than she expected. "I knew you would like it." King smiles, sitting down on the little couch. "This place is really special to me, I used to come here a lot when my parents were about to get a divorce. This was the only place I could be alone and calm down." the dark-haired tells, his gaze focused on the blue sky outside. "Sounds like you never let anyone in here before." Fai mumbles, still looking at all the plants in here. "You're the first." King says, making Fai look up at him with a surprised look on her face. "Why?"
"I think you already know why." He smiles, not giving any further explanation.
