Thursday. Mark's at his desk and figured that Lingling's been keeping this Orm a mystery. He dialed Lingling's number and got through with the doctor.
"Hey Mark, what's up?"
"Nothing much, here. I was wondering when you are planning for me to meet your Orm. Do you think I'll scare her away?"
"Of course not. It just slipped my mind. Why do you have a day in mind?"
"Yeah, how about tomorrow night?"
"Sure. See you then." After they hung up the phone Lingling realized that tomorrow was Friday and her last day with Orm before she heads over to New York.
"How could I be so stupid? Orm is going to be very disappointed. I was going to make this night special for us. I guess it'll have to be put on hold until I comeback."
Orm was excited that Friday night was just going to be the both of them. They won't have friends or family ruining this moment. She had the perfect outfit that she knew that Lingling wouldn't be able to take her eyes off her. That was whole point of her buying that dress. She wanted Lingling to hold onto her and never let her go. Since she was excited about her date with Lingling, she decided to give her a call.
"Hello. Dr. Lingling speaking."
Orm loved hearing the sound of her voice. "Hey P' Ling."
Lingling smiled. She knew perfectly well by the sound of that sweet voice whose it was. It was her Orm. Though she figured her Orm will be disappointed with she's about to say.
"Orm, I'm glad you called."
"I can't wait for Friday, how about you?"
"Well about Friday..."
"What is it? Are you bailing out on me?"
"No, it's not that at all. It's just that Mark wanted to meet up with you and I said OKAY, but it's tomorrow." She was waiting for Orm to scream, but instead she was silent.
"Oh. I thought that Friday would be our night. I mean since you're leaving for two whole weeks. I even bought a nice dress and matching underwear to go with it. I guess I'll just wear something else."
"No! No. Don't do that. I want to see you in your dress," Lingling said excitedly. She couldn't believe what Orm told her. Now she knew for sure that when she saw her tomorrow, she'll wonder what's underneath that dress.
"Okay, I'll wear the dress. I can't wait to meet Mark and his girlfriend. So I'll see you tomorrow."
"Wait! Don't go. Orm, please don't be mad at me. I have a favor to ask you. Could you stay at the apartment for me?"
"Sure. When do you want me there?"
"If you could drive me to the airport tomorrow and you'll have the apartment to yourself."
"Okay."
Friday. Lingling woke up feeling excited about her upcoming date with Orm. Of course, now things have turned around. So instead, now she's going to be going on a double date with Mark. It's not that she didn't like Mark; it's just that she's going to New York for two weeks and won't be able to see Orm. For Lingling not seeing her two weeks will be like pure torture.
Naphat stepped in and noticed Lingling sitting behind her desk thinking or in Naphat's case brooding. He wondered what could be consuming his friend's mind.
"Hey Ling, what's on your mind?" Lingling looked up at him. 'Should I tell him about Orm? If I do, what will his reaction be? I won't tell him unless Orm feels it's right.'
