Shy baby, SMILE!!

Part 8

Dear readers, 

I wrote this chapter a long time ago but It took me a long time to edit, translate and correct. I hope you like it, please leave a comment and your vote, it keeps me motivated to keep writing!

It was his first day on the job with Podd, and Khao was nervous. He looked at himself in the mirror, he tried on clothes over and over again. He didn't know what to wear for the occasion.

-What a fool you are Khao, it's not a date, it's just going to eat and buy groceries in one of the many street markets in Bangkok. It's not a date!!! He repeated it over and over again.

He took off his shirt and put on a simple T-shirt.

-Khao, love what are you doing? His mom entered the room.

-You're not going to work today?

-Yes Ma! I'm nervous, I don't know what to wear. My boss will take me to a food street market, we will be alone and I must eat and review what we eat.

-And that worries you? You're good with food and writing too. What is the problem?Khao wore a sad face 

-Wait! let me guess!! he is a very handsome man.

-Ma, Podd is the most handsome man in this world, he is a god!! I get nervous just looking at him, my knees turn to jelly

-Khao control yourself yes, he is your boss. You must behave.-Ma, I know but what do I do, you know I suffer from this strange disease. It's my job, but I don't want this to ruin everything and for him to see me as a dumb, useless man.

-Do not say that, honey. You are very capable. Everything will be allright. Just try to manage your nerves and keep your distance from him. And another thing, do not fall in love, I imagine that he is a married or engaged man.

But it was too late. Podd was Khao's crush for several years. But he had never told his mom because it was just an unimaginable thing to happen someday. That man will determine it one day, but it happened and he wasn't going to waste that opportunity to be close to him. He knew that with him there was no chance of that love becoming mutual or becoming true.

- Ma, I'm late. I don't want Mr. Podd to be angry. What do you think I look cute in these clothes? Khao was wearing baggy jeans, converse and a simple T-shirt.

-You look beautiful my Khao. The woman left a kiss on her forehead and wished the best for her only child.

-I love you ma, we'll talk later!!Khao took his bag, the camera and ran out, he had to get to the cafe-restaurant as quickly as possible.

Podd was waiting for Khao, glancing impatiently at his watch.-Khao, why are you taking so long!, Podd walked from one side to the other. Desperate.Suddenly he saw him running towards him.

-Mr Podd!!!-Khao, what are these hours of arriving? It's your first day!I'm sorry, I had a mishap at home. That was the first thing that came to mind. But I have everything ready, we can go.

-Do you bring the camera?-YES

-Then get in my car, let me check something in the kitchen and we'll leave right away!-Okay!

Khao's heart was racing, the very presence of Podd made him very nervous, seeing him so close to him, feeling his masculine fragrance and the buttons on his unbuttoned shirt. He made his face suddenly blush.

So he clutched his backpack and went immediately to Podd's car. To the latest model Mustang, fit for a Prince Charming.

He decided to get in immediately and put on his seat belt.
