Chapter 5 ~ dinner date ~

Kallan couldn't stop thinking about how he had felt when Chai Son had caught him in his arms, he knew that the other man was flirting but it had felt so good. He had sworn off dating but he missed that closeness, he couldn't remember the last time someone had held him like that.

He had dreamt that he'd been hugging Chai Son so tightly last night though he would never tell the man about it, he would never let it drop if he knew. 

He made coffee for them both and they had sat together to drink it before Chai Son went into his home office to call his supplier and order the things he needed. He had a computer but there was no cable up here, instead he had a dial up connection but he didn't use it unless he had to.

Kallan had washed the coffee cups and not knowing what else to do he had decided to sit out on the porch and listened to the birds singing in the trees, it was so quiet up here and he had to wonder if it would drive him nuts long term.

After a while Chai Son came out to join him and sat in the chair opposite.

"this is nice" he said.

"mmm it is but don't you ever miss city life?"

"very rarely, I enjoy the peace and tranquility up here, the fresh air and the nature" Chai Son smiled.

They sat in companionable silence for a while until Kallan noticed it was almost 5.30 and he was just about to offer to cook dinner when they both heard a vehicle approaching the yard, it was a white range rover evoque and when Chai Son saw it he scowled before muttering,

"fuck' what does he want!" 

"do you know him?" Kallan asked.

"unfortunately yes and he's an arrogant son of a ..."

"Chai Son my man, how's it going?" the man called as he climbed out of his SUV and walked towards Chai Son's porch but didn't venture onto it.

"Song, what brings you here?"

"I actually came to see your house guest" Song said looking at Kallan or maybe leering would be a better description.

"me, what can I possibly do for you?" Kallan replied a little confused.

"my name is Song Ransini, I was just at Nana's place and I was informed that my dog ran out in front of your car last night, I came to thank you for calling the vet" Song said.

"that's ok, I just did what needed to be done" Kallan replied.

"but a lot of people wouldn't have bothered so I was hoping if I could take you out to dinner as a thank you?" Song said.

Chai Son stood up and positioned himself between them,

"we already have plans"

"can't the little guy speak for himself?" Song said to Chai Son

Hearing the term little guy rubbed Kallan up the wrong way then he stood up to stand beside Chai Son,

"Chai Son is right, we have plans so I'm sorry but no, I can't accept your invitation"

"then what about tomorrow?" Song persisted.

"there really is no need" Kallan replied.

"a little bird tells me that someone called Kallan Japhitawit was supposed to be visiting a factory yesterday but couldn't make it, would that person be you by any chance?" Song said smirking.

"yes but as you can see I had a few problems"

"I can take you there tomorrow in my SUV, we could get dinner after?"
