Spring in PHUKET

Chapter 11

Earth sipped the red wine that the steward of the surf club served them..Krist sat across from him looking hot in a navy blue shirt, with the top buttons undone..his pale skin standing out against the dark fabric. Lowering his glass, he watched as he took a bite of the garlic chicken, savoring its taste with his eyes closed, almost moaning in gastronomic pleasure.

"Delicious..." he pronounced..

"I really am starting to envy food. How can you enjoy eating or the taste of food so much..you savour each piece like it's ambrosia. "

"Hahaha P'Earth..it does taste good and u're paying good money for this so let me enjoy it naa" Krist smiled..

"Would you enjoy the taste of me as much?"

"It all depends on how u taste P'Earth.." Krist smiled provocatively, picking up the wine glass and setting it to his lips..

"Why don't you take a bite sometime and find out?" Earth challenged..

"I might do just tat....sometime.."Krist smiled over the  rim of the glass..

Earth's eyes darkened with desire at that..he felt a hunger gnawing at him..and it had nothing to do with food..but he knew this was neither the time nor place for it.."I ll hold u to that promise Kit. " he said..

"I somehow knew you'd say that P'." Krist smiled..

With tat they got back to the food..Krist surveyed the interiors of the club..the place had been a warehouse by the beach when he was a kid. With the tourists coming in they had remodeled it into a posh club with rich interiors and lighting..they had done a good job too.

"This place s actually nice"he observed to Earth..

"I am glad you approve, I am paying a fortune to be a privileged member you know. "

"Yeah, well atleast you have your privacy here.."

"True, here I don't feel like I am on display. "

"So how did yesterday go? Did u find something for locations" Krist changed the topic to movie talk..

"Well we had to go through a lot of houses, but then finally P'Jane found a perfect place he liked..the owner s charging a fortune for it.  But I think we can manage.  And we also found a cabin in the woods  for the scene where we get stuck from the rain..."

"I think I know which cabin.. it's a little away from my place right..over the ridge?"

"Yeah maybe.."

"But isn't it too small?the equipment won't fit with us"

"P'Jane says he ll shoot through the  windows with lights on the rafters. So it'll have to do.."

Krist could already hear the ppl calling for quiet and the director shouting, 'Lights,  camera and Action '.. he missed the excitement of being on the set...

"Thank you P'Earth for this dinner. I needed this movie talk so much..I missed it. And these past two days going through dad's stuff has only made me more pensive.."

"My pleasure Krist..I am enjoying ur company too.." and they sat in silence sipping their after meal drinks..

Suddenly a hand slipped around Krist and a person sat down on the arm rest of his chair, "Krist, fancy finding you here.."

"Off!!.hi.." said Krist smiling stiffly "well I was having lunch with P'Earth..he's a member here"

"A bunch of us came for drinks and a talk,  I would ask you to join us but....."he looked with a sly smile towards Earth.
