Suspicious [Completed]

Not Suspicious Anymore

I was reading my book when I felt a soft tap on my shoulder. Turning around, my gaze was instantly filled with a bunch of red roses. Feeling surprised, I stood up and Tao handed me the bouquet as I received it, hands slightly shaky out of excitement.

"You're here, Tao." I said with a beaming smile and Tao softly caressed my cheek.

"Happy Valentine's day. I hope you liked this little gift I got you." He said and I immediately nodded my head.

"This is lovely. I-I really liked this." I put the bouquet on the bench and embraced him, and he gently pulled me into his arms.

"Thank you so much." I whispered by his ear and he replied with a soft kiss on my hair. After a while, he let me go and I picked up the bouquet again, admiring it. It has a few white roses and lilies adorning the nine red roses.

"This looked really expensive, you shouldn't have bought this. But I really love this." I said to him, knowing that flowers like this could cost a fortune. Tao didn't come from a wealthy family and I didn't want to let him feel like dating me is a burden instead.

"It's nothing. My aunt has a floral shop and I've been helping her out, so she let me pick out some flowers for Valentine. I'm glad that you liked them." I nodded my head again, leaning toward him as I intend to peck on his cheek but halted when I heard a voice.

"Okay, okay, break it up you two." I saw my friends standing only a few feet and my cheeks warmed a little as I thought they might have seen Tao and me just now.

"Enough of those sweet nothings. Can you be a little mindful of us?" Tao chuckled hearing him and I too tried to hide a giggle.

"Are you guys going in? Class is about to start soon." My friend said with a raised eyebrow while pointing to the entrance of the lab.

"Yeah, yeah, we're going in. Just give us one more moment, okay?" Tao ushered them to enter the laboratory before turning around to look at me.

"So, do you wanna go on a date after class?"

"Yes." I said, holding his hand in mine as I took our belongings and entered the lab together. We settled ourselves on our seats for a moment and I was on my phone when I heard mumblings behind. Feeling a little curious, I turned around just to see Mr. Kongpob coming in with his usual bag and laptop but this time with a huge bouquet in hand.

"Oh my gosh!" I could hear one of my classmates exclaim as Mr. Kongpob walked in with a huge bright smile on his lips.

"Good morning, everyone and happy Valentine's day." He said in a cheery voice as he placed his bag and laptop on the desk, "And if you'll excuse me."

He chuckled softly and winked before entering the prep room, closing the door. Most of our classmates didn't know about Mr. Kongpob and the lab assistant but my friends and I knew since a few weeks ago. The students were chattering among themselves for a second before they became insanely silent, hearing soft whispers coming from the prep room.

"Happy Valentine's..."

"Kong..."

"It's nothing..."

"It's so pretty..."

"Do you like them..."

"A date..."

"Thank you..."

"I loved it..."

We couldn't hear clearly what they were saying and could only catch a few words. But these few words were enough to stun all of us. I was shocked as I didn't think that Mr. Kongpob would suddenly decide to open up their relationship but I'm glad they did so.

The door to the prep room opened and Mr. Kongpob came out with a silly grin, most importantly, his lips looked suspiciously red and a bit swollen. He stood in front of his desk, preparing his laptop when he noticed the classroom being awfully quiet. It took him a moment to realize that the whole class just knew about them and he chuckled.

"Do you guys like my new watch?" He said, raising his wrist and I saw the watch with a gleam of silver shine snatched on a leather strap. All of us were a little confused by this sudden question but soon understood when he continued, "My boyfriend just gave me this."

All of us were hooting and hollering very excitedly when we heard that but quieted down instantly when the prep room's door swung open out of the blue. The lab assistant was peeking out at us by the door with flushed cheeks and Mr. Kongpob, alerted by the sound, turned to the door and his eyes glimmered.

He looked so much in love.

"Kong." The lab assistant yelled in a hushed whisper and Mr. Kongpob answered a little too chirpily.

"Yes, honey." The lab assistant's flush on his cheeks spread to his neck but his eyes narrowed as he looked at Mr. Kongpob with a murderous gaze and Mr. Kongpob instantly got the message. The door slowly closed and Mr. Kongpob heaved a sigh of relief when the lab assistant was no longer in sight.

"Sheesh, I almost couldn't make it back home, guys." Mr. Kongpob whispered and wiped the sweat that might have formed on his forehead because of the lab assistant's glare as we broke into fits of laughter.

Who would've know that Mr. Kongpob will be that afraid of our lab assistant?

"Let's just continue our class. No more questions for now, okay?" We proceeded with our class and ended it within an hour and a half. I was packing up with Tao standing by my side when Mr. Kongpob came out with the lab assistant. The latter has the huge bouquet of flowers in hand and he was trying hard to hide a smile while biting on his lip.

"Well, at least they didn't look so suspicious anymore, right?" I heard Tao said and I nodded, looking at both of their retreating backs. Mr. Kongpob held out his hand to the lab assistant and we saw the lab assistant teasing Mr. Kongpob as he gave Mr. Kongpob back the flowers and laughed cheekily.

"Yeah, not suspicious anymore." I said when Mr. Kongpob rolled his eyes and the lab assistant placed his hand on Mr. Kongpob's opened palm, intertwining their fingers together.
