Hold me as tight as possible {JoongDunk & PondPhuwin}

21. Home Sweet Home

Phuwin's pov:

"Young Master, your car is here." I stand up and make my way outside. Someone takes my luggage as i sit in the back seat of the car. I just scroll on tiktok while we arrive at the airport.
The driver comes out of the car and opens the door for me. He hands me my luggage.
"Have a safe flight back home, Young Master."
"Thank you!" I say in English.
I make my way to the airport security and soon board the plane.

I collect my 2 suitcases as i get a call from my mother.
"Yeah?"
"I ordered a car to pick you up at the airport. Please get home safe, okay?" My mom says.
"Thank you, and of course i will!"
I end the call and make my way outside where i already see a black car waiting.
A man in a suit opens the door for me and takes my suitcases.
"Welcome back!" The man says after getting in the driver's seat.

The man hands me my suitcases and drives off. I open the door to my apartment building and walk up to the receptionist.
"Oh, Mr.Phuwin! It's so nice to see you again!" Angel says, a college freshman working here part-time.
"Oh, Angel! Hi! It's nice to be back."
"How'd you like London? Did it feel wonderful to be back home?"
"I liked London a lot, all thought I consider Thailand more of my home than England."
"I get, i get that. Oh! I almost forgot! Some very handsome gentleman came by a week ago and left a package for you." She says, handing me a very well packed giftbag. It is navy blue with a white bow. I look at it in amazement.
"Ooo! Is it from your boyfriend?" She says teasingly.
"It was nice to see you again, Angel!"
I say, walking towards the elevator.

I put the giftbag on my dining table next to my apartment keys. I sit down on my couch and take a breather. I reach out to the bag and hold it in my hands. After a few seconds of thinking, i opened it.
It's a red perfume bottle. I take the cap off and spray some on my wrist to smell it. It smells like roses.
I love it.

For the past 15 minutes, i have been walking back and forth in my living room. Should i call him or not?
I just keep on staring at my phone.
"Uhhh! Why does everything have to be so fucking complicated!" I yell.
I take my phone, unlock it, and press on Pond's contact.
After 2 rings, he picks it up.
"You dont know how happy i am that you called me."
I stay silent.
"You like it?" He says softly.
"Yes, very much." I say.
"When you didn't call me after 3 days, i thought that that young lady at the desk had snatched the gift."
I chuckle.
"No, i was in England, my plane landed an hour ago. Hey, what are you doing in an hour?" I ask.
"Nothing, why?" He said, clearly smiling at my question.
"Let's go eat lunch. I pay."
"Oh well, if you're paying, how could i say no to that."
"Come pick me up in an hour. Don't be late!"
"I wouldn't dare."

Pond leaves his car in front of my apartment building. He walks inside towards the receptionist.
"Oh, hello! Mr..." Angel says, waiting for a response.
"Naravit, Mr.Naravit. Hello, nice to see you again."
"Mr.Phuwin just got back!"
"Yes, im here to pick him up, right now."
"Oh! He loved the gift!"
"He did?" Pond says, smirking.
"Yes! He couldn't keep his eyes off it ever since i showed it to him!"
Pond didn't even notice, but he was smiling like some idiot.

"What are you smiling about?" I ask when i make my way down to the lobby.
"Oh, Phu! Me and your receptionist were just having a small conversation. Are you ready?"
Did he just call me Phu?
"Y-yeah, let's go!" I say, pulling Pond's arm.
"Angel, I'll see you tonight." I say. Angel almost starts screaming.
"100% dating," she says to herself quietly.

"So where are we going?" Pond asks after we sit inside the car.
"Let's go to the mall, i know a good café."

We take a seat at a table next to a window.
"It's a very cute café." Pond says, looking around.
"Yes, i used to go here every day before i found Blue Cloud."
Pond was about to say something when the waitress came up to us.
"Hello! What can i get you guys?"
"I'll take a pesto pasta, please." I say.
"Make that 2." Pond says.
"And also one black coffee and one iced coffee." I say.
"I'll get you the coffees in a few minutes." The waitress says leaving.
Pond looks at me in a weird way.
"What?" I ask.
"Nothing, im just surprised you remembered i like black coffee."
I chuckle at that.

"So how was London?"
"It was nice, got to see some old friends, went to a concert with them and saw my family."
"What about you? How'd you spend Christmas and New Years?"
"Went to visit my family. They dont live that far from Bangkok."
The waitress comes back with our coffees.
"Your pastas will be out in 15 minutes!"

"Damn, that was some good pasta." Pond says.
"I know all the good places in Bangkok." I say jokingly.
I suddenly see a music store.
"Hey, I'll go look around at the music store."
"I'll come with."
I go look at the guitars while Pond just walks around aimlessly. Suddenly, someone touches my shoulder. It's Ek, the guy from the music store i work at.
"Hey Phuwin! You're back!"
"Oh, Hi! Yeah, i got back a few hours ago."
His hand falls from my shoulder to my elbow and then to my forearm.
Pond suddenly walks up to us, putting his arm around my shoulder.
"Hey, we gotta go." Pond obviously talking to me but he made sure Ek heard it.
"Oh okay, see you, Phuwin!" Ek says.
"Yeah, bye!" I say as Pond and I walk out of the mall, towards his car.

We lie on the couch, my head on Pond's lap. Both watching the tv show Pond randomly picked from Netflix. Suddenly, my phone rings.
It's Dunk.
"Hey, what's up?" I ask
"Oh my god, Jai is such a bitch."
"What did she do?"
"Not only did she cheat on Joong, then she started defending herself and saying how their relationship is so much stronger and how they can move past it. Like, pleaseee."
"Damn, she is some bitch."
"I know right, but Joong is taking all of this surprisingly well."
"Well you're there for him, that's what matters. At least he knows he has someone who cares for him. You're a good friend."
"Yeah, friend.." Dunk says silently
"What?"
"Nothing, where you at anyway?"
"Pond's place."
"Oooo, come one, it's been 3 weeks, and y'all still aren't dating?" Dunk asks teasingly.
"Good night!" I say.
"Yeah, yeah, good night. See you at school on Monday."
