TALES OF THE HEART

12.

Waking up, Ohm found the space beside him empty. He glanced around the room and found it also empty, Nanon was nowhere to be seen.

But he did hear the sound of the television from the living room. He got out of bed and went to where the sound was coming.

He found Nanon sitting on the couch with a laptop in his hands and a notepad beside him. He massaged his eyes before he went to sit beside him.

"Morning," he said as he gave Nanon a kiss on the cheek.

"Morning. Did you sleep well?"

"Yeah. I did. I had the best teddy bear beside me"

He mentioned as Nanon let out a smile.

"Breakfast is on the kitchen counter"

"I'll eat later"

Nanon continued his work. Taking a glance at the laptop screen, Ohm could see his pictures as well as Tu's.

"What are you working on?"

"I'm was brainstorming ideas for your final shoot but I can't seem to think of any so I'm just editing some of your pictures"

Nanon explained.

"You work so hard that it makes me teary" he jokingly removed tears in his eyes.

Nanon chuckled at the sight.

"So what are your plans today?"

"I have some charitable event this morning. My afternoons are clear. I was thinking if going to the gym"

"Well in that case, you won't mind having lunch with me and my family right?"

That made Ohm bolt out his eyes for a moment and stare shockingly at Nanon. He gulped.

"What did you say?"

Nanon sighed before he placed his laptop on the mini table and directed his body towards Ohm.

He had meant to tell him of this invitation but was too swamped up with work to even bring it up.

Not to mention, him telling his family about Ohm, he didn't want it to come off as if they are taking their relationship to the next step.

Truth be told it wasn't intentional, he just wanted to seek advice from them on how to go about his and Ohm relationship but his sister and mother were too smart for their own good and made two and two together.

He was not planning on telling his family about Ohm anytime soon and perhaps Nanon should have gone elsewhere instead of his mother and sister for advice but it's because he trusted them and their judgement that he just had to.

He didn't go into full details about his relationship when telling them. He was just vague.

But this lunch was going to be different. He was going to introduce Ohm Pawat to them.

"My parents and sister want to meet you"

"You - you told them about us?"

"I happened to want their advice on how to go about our well……" silence, "My sister is just too smart, I'll just say"

Ohm could only nod,

"They want to meet you, physically. I told them I would get back to them but they are pretty persistent"

Ohm stayed silent for a while. Nanon could see the frown forming on his forehead.

"It's okay if you don't want to"

"No it's not like that. I mean of course I would love to meet them"

"I don't want you to feel pressured to do this"
