Beneath Your Smile

X. Son of the Sun

TAY POV

Present Time ...

A few days after the ball, I was back at my office burying myself at work. But whenever my mind drifted off I would remember that smile and his doe eyes piercing me right through my soul.
As if crescent moons descended on his pale face and that painted stars in it glowing in the moonlight.

"I was still "IT" huh.. "- Tay

I smiled knowing there was still this lingering obligation of finding him.
I am good with word games, his eccentricity brings out his charm though. So now the problem is how to play this "IT" he was referring to.

"New Thitipoom Techaapaikun" - Tay

His name sounded foreign yet familiar rolling over my tongue. Pressing my fingers to my lips it seemed those kisses still haunted my memory, as I slowly felt heat on my body. But before thinking of vulgar things I resumed working on the documents I had in front of me.

Tay Tawan was a typical businessman, his days usually were with pilled-up documents to approve and on-site inspections to branch offices and some banks they own. It was numbers and numbers all day.

He was friendly but not a party person he would rather stay coop up in his room reading or watching documentaries, history, and wildlife were his favorite subjects.
Aside from that he also enjoys photography and had held some small exhibits here and there for charity purposes. He loves taking pictures of scenery which he does when he is out on travels.

He dated a couple of times but ended up breaking up because of his lack of time and commitment to the relationship.

Everybody regarded him highly because he is committed to his work and all the achievements he had made during his VP until now. Successfully opening up 2 banks and a branch in New York was no easy feat.

A ring from his secretary momentarily stopped him from signing.

"Sir, a delivery was sent to the office your name was written on it. Should I take it to your office right now?"- Secretary

"Okay, bring it" - Tay

He leaned on his swivel chair and stretched his tired hands, massaging his temples he turned around to look at the glass windows on his back, the view of the skyscrapers towering over each other and the busy streets of Bangkok below.

"Should I send something to his office? A book? A rose?" - Tay

Muttering to himself as his secretary knocked on his door.

"Come in" - Tay

He turned around and saw those familiar blue roses. A dozen of them were in a black box with a red ribbon on it. He smiled unconsciously remembering who was the only person who could send the particular color of the rose.

"Sir these came in awhile ago, I will leave it now" - Secretary

As the secretary headed to the door Tay had asked her.

"Cancel all my meetings this afternoon, I have an important guest to accommodate" - Tay

"Yes Sir" - Secretary

The box that was on his desk had a card on it, lined with gold trimmings. It was an invitation for an afternoon tea. A smile crept up my face, reading the words etched on the card.

"Blue roses had set in full bloom, wouldn't it be nice to view the sunshine on them, like the sun that is you that smiles brightly"

Yours Waiting,
N.T.T

At the back of the card was the address of their mansion, in the suburbs. There was no scheduled time assuming he was already waiting this afternoon. I got up and headed off to find change into casual clothing appropriate for an afternoon tea.
