Waxing Crescent (Completed)

Don't Think

Vee Vivis

Pure exaggeration! Hyperbole! It was totally outrageous coming from a Khun Chai like him!

The kid who bragged about riding the motorcycle with me from Khon Kaen all the way to Koh Samet in a 455km distance(ridiculously googled it😅)was frowning looking out of the window of the air-conditioned bus we are in. It was only the 1st 2 hours of the journey and he is all restless in his seat like that. What happened to that boastful attitude of his? He was clearly flirting with me at his best.

"The kid will melt Vee. Stop staring and smiling like that. You look like a psychopath!" Pond muttered in disdain looking at me as he sits beside me. I wasn't aware I was smiling while looking at Mark that was sitting 2 rows in front of me. The sitting arrangement made him sit beside a classmate of his whose name I have forgotten. I could only complain to Pond to do some arrangement to make me sit beside Mark but to no avail.

"Shut up! Go back to sleep!" I fired back to Pond making him snicker.

"Hey! Are you holding grudges against me for not granting your request to sit with that nong?"

"Yes. I want to kick you out of the bus so bad."

"Oh! Are you that crazy about nong Mark? Why are you being so possessive? Is he your wife already?"

"I think it's quite obvious already."

"Is that so? Then why is your wife glaring at you like that?" I briefly turned to see Kla behind me smiling while pointing at someone in front of us. The conversation between me and Pond must have been a little loud that a few juniors in front were looking back at our direction. Some of them have their eyes open wide in shock, friends of Mark's were snickering while the subject himself was looking all furious at me.

"Stupid Vee!" I heard Yiwah cursing me from somewhere in the front.

"Wife? Are you sure of that? It is not what that junior said to me." Neau who sits in front of me flicked his head to look, all confident with his statement.

"You know nothing." I ignored the taunting from the rest of my friends when my phone alerted a Line message.

Mark: Why?

Vee: Why what?

Mark: What wife are you talking about?

Vee: Well aren't you my wife?

Mark: P' Vee!

Vee: I want to sit next to you.

Mark:  '_'

Vee: Don't you feel dizzy with the bus ride?

Mark: I hate it. Being on a plane is more convenient.

Vee: Khun Chai!

Mark: Whatever.

Vee: Let me get you something in the next bus stop. Don't go off the bus without me.

I waited for like an eternity but Mark doesn't send back any reply. I look over at him to see his head leaning against the glass window with his sun glasses on. The airpods I gave him was stuck in his ears. This made me smile again. The kid must have dozed off.

The relationship between us is not a secret in our circle of friends anymore. It might also have spread through out the university, thanks to Dew's FB gossip page that regularly posted updates on our whereabouts. Many people have condemned us at first especially after I posted a status defending Mark. But soon it died out when Ploy herself opened her relationship with Ton to the public.

Though the relationship between us have progressed since that day we agreed to give one another a chance, and started flirting with each other again, the both of us are far from the Tossara's kind of relationship. Mark is a private type of person that hated public display of affection. The two of us stick with each other most of the time but keeps our flirting minimal and private. It was far from the previous relationship I had with Ploy where I enjoyed showing affection for the entertainment of those who were following us. My relationship with Mark seems to be more private and mature. And I am loving it this way. It feels like Mark's affection is for my eyes only. I know I didn't have the right yet cause we're still not boyfriends. But still I want to be possesive of him. I want him all for myself.
