A Book Called Desire

V. Of Texting And Sexing (Part 1)

The house is quiet. Porchay has already gone home, having a possessive boyfriend apparently means you have to go home after certain hours outside his gaze. Pete is currently soothing his hia in their room. Probably doing something dirty that Macau doesn't want to know.

With nothing to do, he takes out his phone and starts scrolling. There are a few party invitations but he doesn't want to go. He thinks knowing Porchay for over two years mellowed him a bit. That, or he just finds parties boring now.

Yes. That Macau Theerapanyakul finds parties to be boring.

There are ways to make it not boring, but Macau doesn't want to take hard drugs anymore after Porchay forbade him while crying his heart out in London after a bad trip. He scared Porchay and didn't want to relive that experience. He is strictly for booze and ganja only now.

He can do one or two weekend parties, but no more than that. He still likes the music, the ambiance, and the feel, especially with people he actually likes. But these invitations come from a not-so-close friend and a friend of a friend. So, he'll pass. He won't do tiring things only because it's a polite thing to do.

Bored out of his mind, he ventures to messaging apps, finds a name with a smile attached to his lips, and starts typing.

Macau to Pervert🖕:
Thanks for the bike.

Kai is working when his phone dings with an incoming message. He smiles so wide that his secretary is giving him a side-eye.

Kai to Mac❤️:
You're welcome.
Reward me with dinner then.

Macau snorts when he reads the reply.

Macau to Pervert🖕: 
Sure.
Pick a place, any place.
This nong will take you on a ride.

The reply comes in an instant.

Kai to Mac❤️:
On my lap?

Macau snickers.

Macau to Pervert🖕:
Hmmm.
I'll meet you in your dreams.

Kai to Mac❤️:
I'll even meet you in hell if it means I got to watch you ride me.

Macau to Pervert🖕:
Shut the fuck up.
I'm out if what you want is sexting.

Kai to Mac❤️:
Ok, ok.
Coming to Dom's birthday this weekend?

Macau to Pervert 🖕:
I'm not invited.
Dec hasn't said anything.

When he reads Dec's name, Kai frowns. He dislikes it. He knows he shouldn't, that it's irrational. But still...

Kai to Mac❤️:
Nothing to do with Dec.
Be my plus one.

Macau to Pervert 🖕:
😄
Sure.
Hia is going to kill you and I think I'll watch.
He already threatened to burn the bike.

Kai to Mac❤️:
I'll buy you again.
V doesn't scare me.

Mac to Pervert🖕:
Oohhh... We got a cocky brave one.

Kai to Mac❤️:
Not cocky.
Just stating the fact, baby.
If I'm scared of you brother, I wouldn't have fucked you.

Macau frowns. A bad feeling that he can't help feeling emerges.
Macau to Pervert🖕:
Wait.
You knew who I was from the get-go?

Kai wants to reply fast but he hesitates. From the thing in the bar, Macau seems to dislike how everybody thinks he has something because of his last name. Right now, his brain must've tilted that way: that Kai is after him to get something from him because he is a Theerapanyakul. Kai can't blame him. It's an instinct, born from lots of heartache from the past.
