Greed

chapter 15

Sky's POV

I'D KISSED MY EX-HUSBAND.
I'd kissed my ex-husband and liked it.
What the hell was wrong with me?
I buried my face in my pillow with a groan. My alarm clock had gone off three times already, but I couldn't bring myself to get out of bed. Getting out of bed meant facing the aftermath of yesterday's choices, and I was content to stay in my bubble of delusion.

Suddenly my phone rang and it was rain on the other side asking me to come to Bangkok because there are some paper issue relating to our studio setup.

I asked P'pai for the help of emergency and like always he didn't hesitates a bit. When it comes to work problem he always understand the hassle.

Back to Bangkok

As I reached the studio, the paper work was taken care of as rain might have asked of Phi Phayu's help which I had restricted him from. Eventually everything was summoned up quickly but paper work will take some time about 5-6 days to settle down.

I spent next day in all sum laziness. I wasn't in the mood of doing anything which apparantly scared P'pai and he came up to my appartment at around 6 in the evening.

Are you alright? I haven't seen you all day so I was wondering if you're alright. He asked curiously.

I'm fine P'pai just in my haze day. Was just going to have my dinner.

Have you had yours? I asked curiously to which he sacked his head in No.

It's extra if you don't mind you can join in. I asked with normal tone .

To which his eyes popped up with exciting yes,like a sweet Pomeranian puppies who were asked to go for a walk.

Prapai's POV

"I bet this isn't your idea of the perfect Saturday night." sky stabbed at a piece of broccoli.

"Be honest. Where are you supposed to be right now?"
I'd received invitations to two charity galas, a private museum exhibit, and a dinner party at the Singhs' townhouse for that night. I'd declined all of them.

"Nowhere," I said. "I'm exactly where I want to be."
Sky's gaze faltered.

"We should talk about what happened at the lagoon." The elephant had been sitting between us for too long. "Our kiss- "

"Was just a kiss." sky pushed broccoli around without glancing up. "We were on a date. Kisses happen on dates."

"ky..."

"No. Don't make it into something more than it was." A tremor ran beneath my words. "You asked for one date, and I gave it to you. That's it."

"If it didn't mean anything, you'd be able to look at me." My food lay abandoned on my plate, but it didn't matter.

I'd lost my appetite. "No more lying to each other or ourselves. We deserve that much."

"I don't know what you want me to say." Sky threw his hands up, his features painted with frustration. "Do you want me to say I enjoyed the kiss and I don't regret it even though I should? Fine. I did, and I don't. But physical attraction has never been the issue. When I look at you, I..."

His voice caught. "I think I could never love anyone more than you or after you. That you took everything I had to give, and I gave it freely because I couldn't imagine a world where we wouldn't be together."

His face blurred beneath the ache tearing through my insides.
"But I'm living in that world right now, and I'm scared." Sky's chin wobbled. "I don't know how to live life without you, phi. I haven't dated anyone else in over five years, and I just...I can't..."
His voice dropped to a whisper. "I can't promise you anything more than I already have."
