You & Me [Completed]

Aim

I ruffled my hair absently as I hung up the phone. I had teased Lam about Arthit during the phone call and the stuttering I had heard; I knew instantly that I would never be his pick.

I was a little heart broken by it but I couldn't find it within myself to get between those two when clearly they had the hots for each other though they refused to admit it.

I just sighed as I put my phone away only to look up and see a confused Forth looking at me.

"What is it, Nong?" I asked softly.

"Are you ok, P? You have sighed like 5 times already. I thought you enjoyed talking to Lam. Did he exasperate you that much?"

I just smiled, assuring him everything was ok and it was just me and nothing to do with Lam. He nodded quietly, just letting me be thereafter. I looked around as the boys were busy chatting and drinking away. Park was chatting with Kong at the bar counter. Those two were also idiots but I guess every man to himself.

I watched as Forth stood up to go smoke. He went off and I was just chatting with Sharp and Wai when I wanted to get us more beers. I was making my way towards the bar when I was stopped midway by this really drunk guy who just tried palming me! I stepped away and shoved his hand back, telling him to watch it.

The bar was full of university students but also tourists and other partygoers so it was packed and everyone was just busy. He sneered at me, telling me not to make it difficult and to just let him be in the name of fun. I stepped back, clearly very uncomfortable but he didn't seem to be taking no for an answer. He came closer to me and was about to lay his hand on me again when suddenly I was yanked out straight into someone's arms!

I looked up, surprised to see Forth!

"Forth.."

"What the fuck do you think you are doing, laying a hand on my boyfriend?"

He snarled at the other guy who just took a step back, clearly intimidated by him as Forth was at least half a head taller than him. He just glared at him and then just went off. Forth's grip around my arm loosened and he looked at me.

"Are you ok, P?"

"How did you... how did you even see us amongst this crowd?"

"I was coming in P when I saw you from afar but your face looked pissed and yet a little scared. So I quickly came closer when I saw this asshole. I hate people like him who think they can just lay their hands on anyone and think it's ok. In the name of fun, they say. Fuckers."

I just kept quiet, a little taken aback by Forth's anger. I heard of it but never seen it as he's always quieter around us and to be honest, the hazing team's anger wasn't any better. I reached out to hold onto Forth's arm and he looked a bit surprised.

"I'm ok, Forth. Thank you for helping me. Though it's awkward. I shouldn't have clammed up."

"P.. I think anyone in your situation would have clammed up. It's ok."

I nodded though I was not too convinced, feeling embarrassed that my junior had to come rescue me. I realized I was still holding onto Forth's arm. Just as I was about to let go, a throng of people pushed through, forcing Forth to almost fall onto me. I held onto him tightly, looking up at him as he was definitely taller than me!

He grimaced as he let the people go through but held onto my hand tightly so he would not fall. Finally, we had some breathing space. He apologised softly as he let go, smiling at me before walking off.

I watched as he went off, feeling a little displaced now that he was away from me. Sigh.

All these juniors and their "hero" syndrome. No wonder all the girls keep falling for them!
