"Bright" I whispered, shaking his arms gently and he grunted in sleep, shifting on another side to sleep. How could he sleep when I couldn't close my eyes even for a minute last night. My heart was still racy, it seemed and I couldn't stop thinking about him. About us. It took me whole night to convince myself it was just a hard hit of nostalgia and that we were both over our past. Yet, it took only incoherent sleepy sounds from his side to wash my firmness away. I couldn't deny how badly I had missed this- waking up to the sight of his sleeping. Five years ago felt like yesterday but he felt light years away from me. Or may be he was all this time, right here inside me, so close I couldn't physically reach to him.

"Hmm?" He opened his eyes sleepily. He looked divine as the yellow rays of sun made shadows below his eyelids.

I had to get away.

I smiled. For some reasons, I felt as warm as I used to when we were boyfriends and I'd wake him up just like this and he'd kiss me before sleeping again. God I missed this man so much that even though my mind kept alarming me to get up and leave, I found myself lowering down my head to his level.

"I'm going to work. Make yourself comfortable. Hm? I'll be back by evening."

He hummed, without opening his eyes and kissed my cheek before drifting in sleep again.

I was frozen at the floor and stayed there for a minute, trying to grasp whatever happened. Was Bright dreaming? Was he also dreaming like me?

My heart fluttered on realising that perhaps just like mine, his habits have also not really gone so well even after years of trying to change them. I stood and left the apartment hastily.

I had to get away from him.

...

"Wow" Ohm said, "so we were right to think you and Bright were still not done yet."

"Are you crazy?" I exclaimed, "I myself have no idea why is he in Bangkok and why would Man call me instead of Boss?"

Fong said, "Boss is gone to Pear's hometown. May be that's why. Bright doesn't have anybody else here other than you."

"Wait" Ohm said, "could it be possible that he's here because of you?"

"Are you crazy?" I scoffed, "yeah that explains just right that after five years of no contact, suddenly Bright would want to meet me without any reason."

"No I meant may be because of the c-"

"Alright alright" Phuak said, "stop putting wrong ideas in his mind. Let's not hurt our friend with our false hopes. May be he's actually here for some work."

I was quiet. That sounded right even though it didn't feel so. I was at Fong's place and had finished explaining everything since last night.

"I don't know" I sighed, "I have no idea how to take all this. I was so anxious the whole time."

Phuak patted my back, "at least you hid all his belongings before coming here. That saves a lot of trouble."

My eyes widened in horror as I heard his words that were supposed to console me but instead left me more distressed.

"Fuck" I mumbled, "I knew I was forgetting something."

Ohm asked, "don't tell me you didn't remove his pick bracelet from your drawer?"

I shook my head quietly.

"At least you threw his football jersey?"

"Fuck fuck fuck!" I shouted, "not even our confession stickers shit!"
