CHAPTER 12

"Love let me remind you about Mom's birthday. We're still pushing through Chiang Mai, okay?"

It was the first Saturday of April. New was preparing brown-butter maple popcorn with cashew nuts for their snack while Tay was busy searching through the DVD collection for their movie night.

"Oh yes, when was that again? So that I can note it on my planner later."

"You can do it now, you'll probably forget it later."

"Ay Tawan! I'm not forgetful like you!", New smirked at him.

"Whatever. Where's your planner? I'll get it for you."

"It's in my navy blue bag just look it up there."

Tay went down from their room while examining New's planner.

"Did you bring a pen?", New asked.

"Oh right, I forgot", Tay giggled and rushed back to their room to get a pen.

"Just what I thought", New mumbled.

"This is a cute planner. And it's personalized too! When did you get this?" Tay asked while handing over the thick covered, charcoal gray colored planner with NEWWIEE engraved on it.

"Oh this? Earth gave this to me as a birthday gift."

Earth? Right, Earth. The Earth that New spends most of his time with when he's at work. That uncompellingly good looking with perfectly toned body that even in corporate attire his abs are already screaming Earth. Right.

"It's so nice for him to give you that kind of color, he knows exactly what you like. And with your name on it?", Tay shook his head, "He just got the perfect gift for you. Why haven't I thought of that?", he said harshly.

"Are you jealous?", New asked doubtfully.

Tay snickered, "Who? Me? Jealous?", he pointed at himself and snickered one more time, "Like when did I ever?"

"You are so cute when you get jealous", New pinched Tay's left cheek.

Tay caught New's hand and forcefully crushed it, "I told you I'm not jealous!"

"Love you're hurting me!", New said dramatically. Tay let go of New's hand and apologized.

"It's okay to get jealous sometimes love. Come on, just admit it, you're jealous of Earth", New teased while he sat on the living room and opened his planner.

"Oii!! You're so full of yourself! I'm not admitting anything", Tay said annoyingly and followed, he was carrying the bowl of popcorn.

"When is that again love?", New asked while flipping pages.

"It's on the 23rd", Tay put the bowl at the table and went on the DVD player to set it up.

"Owww, so that's on Thursday. I'm going to take a leave until Friday..", New was taking notes, "and how long are we going to stay there?", he asked.

"We're leaving on Wednesday", Tay is now seated beside New, "we will stay there for three days", he continued while feeding his boyfriend his favorite cashew nuts.

New was counting days on his head, "What time are we leaving on Wednesday? I still need to go to work, I can't do three days leave love, my work will be piled up."

"Is that so? Can you leave early instead? Or I'll look a scheduled flight after your work? Won't you be tired by then?"

"Uhm, I think I can manage", he closed his planner and put it on the table.
