Lost in Love | LingOrm (GxG)

2 - Her Unspeakable Gaze

"Do you know how much I want to kiss you right now for being this cute?"

I open my mouth in shock as the younger woman in front of me seems to enjoy my reaction. How can she say something like that and appear so normal? While I am having a heart attack here, Miss Kornnaphat!

"I'm only joking, Lingling Kwong! Don't look at me like that, it's like I'm turning into a ghost in your eyes." She smiles teasingly at me as she slowly looks down at our hand which makes me realize I'm still holding her fingers tightly.

Clearing my throat, I plan an act of revenge in my head as fast as I can. I might be slow but I am a genius.

Glancing at a wooden table beside us, I release my hand from hers only to grab her waist with both of my hands and within seconds, lift her easily to sit on the table. Facing me with her jaw dropped, I smirk triumphantly for successfully making her speechless with my action.

Pressing my left hand on the table beside her thighs, I let my right hand caress her cheek as I search for her eyes that try to avoid my alluring gaze. "Now, why are you being so shy, Orm? Where's the Orm who loves to tease me all the time, hmm?"

"You don't understand, Ling."

"Tell me, then. Make me understand."

My smirk slowly fades away when I see her looking back at me with a serious look on her face. I shudder with a cold sweat as it's the first time I have seen her like this besides acting.

"Nong Orm?"

She shakes her head as if she is out of her trance as her usual cheerful self appears again. It's like what happened then might just be my own imagination.

"I'll tell you when the right time comes, P'Ling. Now, take me home, okay? I'm exhausted." She pouts and wraps her arms around my shoulders as I find myself showing her my eye smile with how adorable she is right now.

"Come here, I'll take care of you."

.

"Do you always drive with just one hand?"

"Yes, why? Are you scared?" I look at her worriedly only to hear her chuckle heartily.

"No, I'm just curious."

"Alright."

I steer my steering wheel to the right, and twirl it around and around, still with one hand as I feel her watching me in awe. Which, I like it a lot when she is paying attention to me.

"Are you always this quiet whenever you're driving?"

"I can be however you want me to be. I can be quiet, I can also talk to you." What a nice move, Ling.

"Are you flirting with me right now, Lingling?"

Damn it, when she calls me like that, I do not know what to do, like literally!

In this kind of situation, as usual, my body moves on its own as my left-hand searches blindly to find hers. Only to fail miserably as it lands on her thigh. I repeat, I accidentally touch her bare white thigh right now and the worst thing is, due to the shock, I just froze. Now, who said I'm a genius again?

Through my side glance, I can see Orm is biting her bottom lip, hard. Damn, I screwed up, don't I? Is she mad? Will she slap me? Am I a certified pervert now?

Pressing the brake slowly because of the red light, I am about to retreat my hand and apologize to her only to not move an inch when I feel her soft lips press against my left cheek just for a second. Did she...just kiss me? Or was that my imagination? Why did that happen so fast?

I have not even recovered from my shock as I feel her hand find mine and she intertwines our fingers together, resting them on her smooth thigh while smiling widely at me. And that gaze again. Her gaze that I still cannot interpret the meaning behind it.

"You look so cool when you drive, and I'm happy I can hold your hand as long as I want to."

.

The alarm blaring non-stop beside my head makes me groan inwardly as I try hard to reach it to stop this hell. But no matter how hard I press the button, it keeps on ringing uncontrollably.

"Stupid Ling." I mumble to myself when I realize the sound actually comes from my phone. Great. Just great.

"How's my talented actress doing?" I frown when I hear the excited voice from my manager which makes my head spin even more.

"P'Mam! I just got home at 2 am. Now, the sun has not even come up yet and you're already calling me. It better be good."

"Why did you get home at 2 am when I left you at 12? What did you do, huh? With Orm?"

"How do you know I was with Orm?" I frown as I massage my temple with my thumb.

"I saw her walking towards you, duh."

"Oh, yeah. Now I remember."

She clicks her tongue at my slow reaction as she continues, "Right, speaking of Orm. I'm calling you because she is on her way to your house right now. She can't reach you so I figure out you might still be sleeping. You must thank me for calling you more than 20 calls nonsto一"

"What?!" I cut her off as I jumped from my bed and ran to the shower. That must be the fastest reaction I have had all my life as I quickly do my thing to look as presentable as I can.

When I finally hear the doorbell, I make sure to check out the mirror again as I open my door to welcome her.

But, my smile immediately fades away when I call out,

"Win?"
