Take My Heart, will you? (PHAXLAM) (BOYXBOY) (COMPLETED)

Lam

I watched Pha walk away in frustration. I couldn't deny that my eyes kept following his every move. I told Thun I be back and he went to join Forth and the rest in the waters.

I walked over to Beam and Kit who were seated and discussing something.

"Is everything OK with Pha? He seemed angry?

"He's fine Lam. Don worry. He needs to learn to accept the truth."

"Hmm?"

"Can I ask you something? Do you like Pha?"

I looked at Beam who asked me that outright in shock.

"No? Nothing like that. He sees me as a friend. He doesn't like guys remember."

"Lam, I asked if you like him. I didn't ask you about Pha."

"He's a friend. He likes girls. Let's just keep it that way. I'm gonna go check on the boys" I sputtered out and ran off.

I could feel Beam and Kit looking at me. If only I had turned around, I would have seen the looks of evil plotting on their faces. I had no idea what I was in for.

We spent the rest of the day chilling. Pha came back and we all had lunch. We played some sports after that. Around 8pm, we all settled down for drinking games. Wai then suggested Truth or Dare. I rolled my eyes and got smacked by Park. Park enthusiastically agreed since it was his Wai suggesting.

But oddly all the boys agreed too. Only Pha and I were against it but since we were outnumbered, we agreed. Thun then came up with the rules; if you choose to forfeit doing the dare or telling the truth, you had to take off a piece of clothing. I opened my eyes big at this Thun who chuckled evilly! Beam and Kit roared with laughter and dragged him to sit with them. That change ended up in Pha sitting silently opposite me and Ming next to me. Forth was on the other side of me.

We started the ball rolling; it was fairly uneventful as I escaped. Pha had to kiss Forth as part of a dare. Beam just let it be as it was a game. I chuckled and secretly took photos to tease Forth later. Just then the bottle landed on me. It was from Thun. Shit.

"P Lam, truth or dare?"

"Truth Nong. I ain't doing any funny dares." Everyone roared with laughter.

"Well, then is there anyone you like currently?"

I internally smacked myself and Thun too for falling into his trap. I just nodded my answer as yes since he didn't ask to specify. It was my turn next. The bottle landed on Pha. I asked Pha and he chose dare. I dared him to do a dance for us. Boy chuckled but he did. I knew he was a terrible dancer so it was hilarious but he was so sporting. The next few rounds went by unscathed till it came from Beam. The bottle spun by him landed on me. I chose dare this time for a change.

"I dare you to kiss Pha." My eyes opened big at this! He'll no, no way. I knew it would make him uncomfortable. I shook my head no. The boys insisted but I decided to forgo it and I took off my shirt as part of the forfeit. The boys whooped it up. I caught Pha's face though. He appeared to be all red and flushed. Wondered if he was coming down with a fever. The game continued and close to midnight, most of us were also quite drunk as we had been drinking and playing. The final round landed on Pha from Wai. He was dared to kiss me.

"Hey, no. Don't do that. It's not fair to him."

Everyone glared at me. I just shut up. Anyways Pha can choose to forfeit. Him taking off his shirt wasn't such a bad option. But then I heard Pha agree to it. My eyes opened big. I shot up and looked  at him. I silently shook my head at him asking him to decline but I don't know if he understood what I was trying to say. He crawled over to me and asked me if its ok. I was totally mesmerised by his eyes and I agreed. He leaned over, softly pecking my lips. It took all of my willpower not to kiss him back as I felt it will never stop. He stopped after a few seconds and everyone just screamed in delight. We decided to end the game right after. The love birds made it back to their own cottages. Pha and Thun stood up, I asked them to head on first before I came. I wanted some time alone to clear my head. I just sat on the sand, reflecting on what had happened. I know Pha had done it for a dare and it prolly didn't matter to him but I realized I was getting quite affected. He was getting to me, wrecking my sanity and heart.

"Aren't you going to come? It's been 10 minutes already." I looked up to see Pha. He sat down next to me and I automatically moved a step away giving him the space.

"Do I make you uncomfortable? You moved the minute I sat down."
I shook my head no, explaining I thought he would appreciate it.

"I don't need the distance between us Lam. There is no reason to." I responded by sitting closer to him. He smiled. He leaned on me abit, soaking in the night chills and winds. I supported him instinctively by wrapping my hands around his waist. We stayed there for a bit and just enjoyed the atmosphere. Soon, a little while later, I could feel Pha dozing off. I nudged him and told him we should head back. I looked down at him who looked up at me sleepily. He smiled and agreed, but for some reason, we both didn't move. Just then, Pha sat up straighter, looked at me and just leaned in.

Leaned right in to kiss me.

I was so stunned that I pulled back by default. But I realized I messed up when I did that. Pha's face changed. His eyes glimmered and he stood up. I stood up too and before I could say anything, he quickly turned, muttering about heading back. I held his hand tightly stopping him.

"I didn't mean to pull back Pha. You had to kiss me earlier because of a dare. You didn't have to do it now and I am not sure if you are aware so I thought I should stop."

"Does it bother you when I kissed you? Don't you like it?"

"Nothing about me liking it or not. You are kissing a guy remember. And you don like guys like that. So why are you doing it when there is no need to?"

Pha turned, stunned by my words. I admit it may not have been the nicest but it was the truth. I had to protect my heart a little bit. This time, Pha pulled his hand out of mine and walked away. I let him be.

But my heart was aching.
