The House by the River

Chapter 16

Mean's POV

"There, all done," I declared with satisfaction after pressing lightly on the dressing that I had applied to Plan's forehead cut.

I was just about to shut the first aid kit close when suddenly Plan grabbed my neck and planted a firm kiss on my lips.

At first I was too shocked to say a word. I was trying to understand what just happened.

I could tell that he had immediately regretted his impulsive action because he had quickly turned his back to lie on his side.

"Were you trying to say thank you or were you trying to say that you love me?" I asked without thinking. I always had this impulse to tease him, much like the grade school kid who loves to tease the classmate they are attracted to.

"Shut up," he sounded upset.

There's my answer to my own question. He was just trying to say thank you.

"You're welcome," I muttered, feeling inexplicably sad.

I pressed on the lid of the first aid kit before taking it out of the room.

"Wait!"

My hand on the doorknob froze. I wasn't sure I heard it because it had been said so softly.

I turned around to look at him. He had placed his hands over his face.

Okay, if he couldn't make up his mind, I was going to make his mind up for him.

I set the first aid metal box on the floor right beside the spot where I was standing and then strode purposefully towards the bed.

I climbed on to the bed and straddled him, my hands resting on either side of him to balance myself.

Plan continued to keep his face covered with his hands.

I slowly and gently removed them. After he allowed me to remove his hands from his face, I had expected him to look at me. Instead, Plan kept his eyes tightly shut.

Suddenly the door was flung open and Gun stumbled on the metal first aid kit, making it fly against the wall with a loud bang.

Bloody hell what now.

I quickly got down from the bed and rushed to help Gun to his feet.

We were both shaken speechless at first, and then Gun said, "I'm sorry for interrupting the sex..."

"We were not having sex!" Plan shrieked from where he was lying.

"Okay, I'm ... I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Gun stammered. "I ... I just came in to ask if anyone of you knows who the visitor is who arrived just now. He says his name is Santa Pongsapak."

A/N: The image above does not belong to me. It belongs to the person who uploaded it on the internet.

For those who might not know him, his name is Santa Pongsapak Oudompoch, a Thai actor who will be playing opposite Cooheart (Earth Katsamonnat) in the upcoming Wabi Sabi Studio series "Seven Projects"

"I don't know anyone by that name," I informed Gun. Then I turned to Plan. "Do you?"

Plan shook his head. He still looked dazed, either from what I had just did before Gun came rushing into the room, or from Gun stumbling and making the first aid kit fly across the room.

"Well, does anyone of you know where Cooheart is?" Gun asked. "I'm not sure but I think he mentioned Cooheart's name."

Oh for crying out loud, how many more men are going to come looking for him. I have to sit him down one day and lecture him about the principle of sticking to only one partner at a time.

"You don't know where Cooheart is?" I asked, trying not to sound annoyed. "You're the one running this show and you don't know where he is?"

"I can't keep track of everyone of you!" Gun replied angrily. "I invited you to my place to have fun in my property but I don't expect you to ask my permission or to inform me where to hide in it."

"You think Cooheart is hiding?" suddenly Plan asked, his eyes widening at the intriguing thought.

But why would Cooheart be hiding from any one of us???

"Do you think Cooheart knows that that Santa guy was going to come looking for him here?" Plan came up with another intriguing thought.

That's what you get when you fool around, Cooheart. I thought irritably. Inevitably you get caught at your game.

"Get lost! You're not wanted here!" Suddenly we heard Title's angry voice coming from the living room.
