"There were a few signs for places along the Nakhon Nayak River as we drove here. I also heard about a place where you can go and leave a note. The walls are covered with notes from people from all around the world but I think it might be more of a cafe," said Fah.
"We passed a place on the way up here, a restaurant with a small open area for dancing and they have a live band. It was called the Dancing Elephant. Do you want to go there?" Run directed his gaze at Fah.
Leave it to me to ruin his happy moment. He probably wishes he never had a brother now. Thank God for Mek and his ability to find the positive side of things, thought Run.
"I can't dance," said Lom, looking at his abdomen.
"That's okay, we can watch those two make fools of themselves. I wasn't going to let you dance even if you wanted to - you're still recuperating," said Fah as he rubbed Lom's shoulder. "Let's sit down."
They went and sat on the edge of the bed. Run and Mek sat at the small table near the window.
"I'm starving. Can we go to dinner now?" Run's stomach growled for added emphasis.
"I'm so hungry I could eat a..." Mek stared at Run's crotch.
"Stop! God, you can be so embarrassing!" said Run. His neck, face, and ears turned a vivid red.
"Horse. I was going to say I could eat a horse!"
"Sure you were," said Run. He stood up and hoped everyone would follow suit.
"Are you okay to go out, Lom?" asked Mek.
"Yeah, sure." He got up and grabbed money from the backpack. "Can we ride in your car? I can't take the vibration of the motorbike."
"Of course. I'll treat everyone to a luxurious ride and dinner and then, I'll make Fah and Lom jealous of Run!" Mek smiled mischievously.
"Why will we be jealous of my brother?" asked Fah.
"Keep your eyes on me when I hit the dance floor. Only Run is allowed to dance with this hot number." Mek turned sideways, spanked his ass, and, in a falsetto voice, said "Ooh, Daddy!"
"Oh god no, Mek! Please promise me you won't do that, or anything like it, in public!" Run laughed hysterically.
"Oh, Run, he's all yours! Time for you to tame the stallion - in public this time," said Fah.
"What?" asked Lom, confused.
"I'll explain later. Okay, let's go. I'm hungry too," said Fah. "I'm excited to go on a double date with my brother - I never thought I'd have a chance to do that in this lifetime."
"I know, isn't it great," said Run. They clambered into the car and drove to The Dancing Elephant.
After ordering they sat and enjoyed their drinks as they waited for the food to arrive. They couldn't help but notice the number of people at nearby tables and on the dance floor who turned to stare at them.
"Maybe they're looking at us because we're not local. This might be one of those places where everybody knows everyone else," said Mek.
After the food arrived they forgot about the people around them. Dinner conversation was sparse as the group tried the different dishes and left nothing on the plates or in the bowls. Lom leaned back and sighed.
"I forgot what good food tasted like," he said.
"Thanks a lot," said Fah, rolling his eyes.
"You have to admit this was a great meal. I appreciate everything you cook, but there's a limit to what anyone can do with a small stove in a bungalow," said Lom.
