Chapter 21: Cuddle With Win.

Warning: There are some mentions of bully acts in this chapter.

It is around 8 o'clock later that night when the bell of The Opas-Iamkajorn's house chimes. Win, who's sprawling on the floor with his mother while watching TV, frowns because they are not expecting any guests tonight. "Ma, who could that be?" Win asks the woman, getting up to check before opening the automatic gate.

"Phi Vanida," May replies. "We're having girls' night tonight. It's at our house this time around," she grins at the young man. "Open the gate, baby."

Win nods at her and grabs the gate remote from the key bowl before pressing a green button on it. The man rushes to the front door and swings it open. He watches as Vanida's car enters through the gate until it is parked next to his mini British Leyland. When Vanida comes out from the front passenger seat, he is a little shocked. Is Bright here too?

"Mae, sawasdee khrab," Win wai at her as the woman is walking to the front door. She spreads her arms, obviously wanting a hug instead of a wai. Win smiles and gives her a small hug. "How have you been?" He asks though they just saw each other yesterday at the awkward dinner with Vivy and Pavel.

Vanida pats on his shoulder. "I've been good, dear. Where's your mother?"

"She's in the living room, watching TV," Win tells.

"Okay, I'll go and see her now then," Vanida cheekily winks at him and walks into the house.

Win crosses his arms to his chest, leaning against the door frame. A minute later, Bright gets out of his car, waving at Win while grinning lopsidedly. The younger man shakes his head in amusement. The CEO jogs to the front door and exhales a deep breath. "Hi," he mumbles.

"Hi to you too," Win chuckles. Bright wastes no time and throws himself at Win, pulling the younger man into a tight embrace. "Whoa, easy there, tiger," he lightly jokes though his face is a little flushed.

This afternoon at the flower garden, after they kissed, both didn't really speak afterwards. They just stayed in the comfortable silence, staring at the clear water of the lake ahead of them. Bright ended up falling asleep in Win's arms due to being exhausted emotionally.

"How are you feeling?" Win asks, rocking Bright back and forth in their embrace. The night is a little chilly. Faint wind brushes against their skin once in a while. The cold night gives them even more reason to draw closer to one another and to feel the natural warmth they are born to give.

Bright buries his face at Win's neck, inhaling his scent. He has come to notice how Win always carries body lotion with him everywhere he goes. The lotion that Win's using also smells really nice. "I'm feeling great now that I see you again."

"Cheesy!" Win tries to pry Bright away from him, but the older man tightens his hold on him instead. They are glued together. "You still don't feel like sharing things with me?"

"No," Bright shakes his head and Win understands that. He's not going to force Bright, either. "Win..."

"Hmm?"

"Would you like to meet my friends?" Bright asks. This time, he pulls away from their hug.

Win nods without hesitation. "Yeah, why not? I'd like to get to know your friends."

"Good, because we actually plan to meet up at a bar tonight. Erm, let's go...?" Bright hooks his forefinger with Win's and the younger man ends up laughing uncontrollably.

"Let me get changed first, at least. Or do you want me to go to the bar in these shorts and worn out t-shirt?"

"The t-shirt is okay," Bright mutters. Then his eyes fall on Win's milky thighs and sexy legs for a moment. "But these shorts..." He trails his word off, leaning his face closer to Win's face. Their lips are almost touching. "Definitely a no," he finished his sentence and pecks the other man's lips in the softest way as possible.
