3 - She Wants Me to Stay

"Thank you for taking me home, P'Ling."

"My pleasure." I lift the brake handle as I turn my body around to face her with my signature smile. "I enjoy every moment I spend with you anyway."

She smiles back as she taps my nose with her forefinger. "I don't know you're such a sweet talker."

"Only with you."

"Now, you're making me blush."

I smirk at that and slowly lean my body closer towards her. "I'd love to see that."

"I just ask one thing from you, P'Ling."

"Anything for you."

"No, I'm serious."

"I'm serious, too." I am that whipped for you, Orm. The filming just started for week one and I am already like this, I do not know what will happen weeks after.

That serious side of her is on again as Orm looks me straight in the eye.

"Please, stay."

.

"Win?"

"Did I wake you up?" He rubs the back of his head guiltily.

"Why did you suddenly come unannounced?"

"Ouch. Do I need to have reasons to come here?"

I sigh at his audacity to say that. And now is not the perfect time for him to be here.

"But I have a guest already, she is coming soo一"

"A guest and you dress like this?" I raise my eyebrow and look down at my white oversize shirt covering my shorts, leaving me kinda bare on my lower body.

I do not realize he comes closer to grab something off my hair and blow it away. Because my attention is on a lady's expression that changes immediately upon seeing him doing that right in front of her eyes.

"Orm?" The lady puts on her poker face as she turns around to walk away at a fast pace.

I look at Win and I utter quickly as if I am rapping, "I need to go now, just text me if you have something to say. Bye."

"Nong Orm!" I sprint towards her as our last night convo flashes in my mind.

"Please, stay." Orm rubbed my palm with her thumb as she continued, "If we get even closer than this, please don't ever leave. I lost you before, I don't think I can lose you twice. And don't ask me what that means, like I said, I'll tell you when the right time comes."

I gulped when I saw a flash of pain appear in her eyes as I let her continue, "Rest assured, I'm not expecting anything about us. But I just don't want you to leave, that's all."

"Oh, Orm." I grabbed my seat handle and pushed my chair towards the back seat as I leaned my back against my car door. "Come here." Opening my arms, I welcomed her jumping on my lap as I embraced her like this.

"Please know I really can't stand seeing you hurting. And even more, if that's because of me. To be honest, I feel this huge yearning of wanting to protect you, to take care of you. I am not good at making promises but I want you to know..." Making sure she could see my eyes clearly, I said to her firmly, 

"I'll be here for you, as long as you let me. I want to stay, with you."

"Orm! Please, stop!" I try so hard to catch my breath as I am finally close enough to grab her arm gently. "Orm, can you look at me, please?"

She seems to avoid me so I stop pressuring her, especially after realizing she is actually crying right now. Biting my lip to suppress this uneasy feeling in my chest, I walk to stand in front of her only to kneel down on my knee so I can see her eyes as she is lowering her head.

Reaching up to hold her cheeks with my hands so I can wipe her tears away, I can feel my own tears falling. Seeing her like this because of me pains me.

Orm kneels too, as she wipes my tears away only to suddenly laugh in between her cries. "Nong Orm, are you alright?"

She nods and laughs uncontrollably, "Sorry, I just find it funny to see us crying together while kneeling in the morning."

"No, no. It's me who needs to say sorry. Sorry for making you cry, Nong Orm."

"Do you know why I cried?"

I gasp, as I realize I do not know the answer to that. She cried after she saw Win and me. But why?

"I..." My words hang in there as I do not know what to say.

Orm eventually smiles which makes me sigh in relief. She then speaks gently, "Why are you crying too then, P'Ling?"

Finally, a question that I know the answer to. "Because you're crying. It pains me to see you cry, Nong Orm. If you're hurting, I'd be hurt, too."

All of a sudden, I feel her embracing me tightly as she buries her face into my hair. "You wouldn't know how happy I am to hear that from you, P'Ling."

"Huh?"

She chuckles at my reaction as she leans back to pat my head lightly.

"You're really cute and soft when you're being clueless like this, Lingling Kwong."

.

"So, why do you suddenly come here, Nong?"

"Do I need reasons to come here?" She raises her eyebrow teasingly.

"Of course not, you can come whenever you like." I just said whatever I felt which makes me pause for a moment because it seems like deja vu. Win also asked the same thing, but why is my reaction totally different when I am answering Orm? So weird.

"Then I want to have a sleepover every day, can I?"

I smile at her cuteness as I also raise my eyebrow, "Only if you can handle yourself when you sleep with me."

"What?" Blush seems to creep into her face as I continue, "Only if you're not kicking me in your sleep or pushing me out from my bed or grinding your teeth."

"Oh, you mean that?"

"Huh? What should I mean then?" I frown in confusion as she shakes her head repeatedly and continues to explore my house.

Weird. So weird.

"Wow, you also got Freenbecky's photocards?"

"Of course! Their series helps me a lot anyway. A role model for every GL film."

Orm claps her hand as she smiles at the photos, "Totally agree. And P'Freen is so handsome!"

I cannot believe I can snap my head that fast to look at her right in the eye as I gasp in disbelief. "You're saying that in front of your co-star right now?"

"Why? Are you jealous?"

I chuckle awkwardly as I bite my lower lip, "Jealous? Huh? Of course not, why would I be jealous, I一"

I stop talking when I feel her suddenly hugging me from behind, resting her cheek beside mine. Too close Orm, you're too close. I do not know how to react.

"You're the most handsome in my eyes, P'Ling. Only you, okay?"

"Now, don't be jealous, okay?"

"I'm not jealous!"

"Yes, you are!" This kid, like for real. What game is she playing right now? Fine, I'll play with you.

"No!"

She rubs her nose at the side of my head like a little kitten. "Yes!"

Protecting my little heart, I close my eyes and not giving in. "I said no!"

"So, you don't like me?"

"No, I like you."
