One Last Chance

Songkran

“So it's 1, 2, 3, 4 and turn.” Engfa affirmed as she practiced at the dance floor, facing the full mirror. There were two more dancers behind her and her choreographer on the side.

“Turn on 4, so 1, 2, 3, turn.” The choreographer Daisy said. Engfa nodded and tried again. She had been at this for an hour since 4pm. Today, she was practicing for the Songkran Concert in Samui coming up in April.

Her Songkran Concerts were always a huge hit as she's an exceptional dancer. Even at the age of 33, her fan base was larger than ever. However, she was looking forward to this year the most because this year?

This year, she was bringing her girlfriend to Samui not as Jin (shipped couple) but as a real partner. The first time she went to Samui was with Charlotte as a shipped couple, then she went alone for a few years and now they were finally together.

The sliding door of the dance studio opened and the object of her thought appeared. Engfa was in the middle of dancing but she couldn't resist a small smile tugging on her lips as her eyes met Charlotte's from the mirror.

The music paused as Charlotte bowed and greeted everyone, Engfa quickly walked to her.

“Sawadeeka, everyone. Sorry I'm late Ka.” Charlotte bowed with two hands.

“No worries, P’Char. This is only our first practice.” Daisy welcomed her warmly. Charlotte smiled appreciatively and turned her attention to her girlfriend. Her girlfriend was wearing a sports bra and sweatpants with a high ponytail in a black cap, looking handsome as always.

“Hi, teerak. How was the Maybelline event?” Engfa smiled as she reached for a water bottle nearby.

“The turnout was amazing.” Charlotte took the bottle and opened the cap before passing back to Engfa naturally, her eyes suddenly got distracted by the sweat dripping on Engfa's chest, down into her cleavage.

“I saw the videos, good job baby.” Engfa praised and Charlotte brought her eyes back to Engfa’s face with a light blush. The younger woman rummaged through her tote bag for a handkerchief and wiped Engfa's forehead filled with sweat.

Engfa grinned and stood still to let her girlfriend take care of her. When Charlotte wanted to wipe her neck and top chest though, Engfa quickly grabbed her wrist and shook her head.

Charlotte looked confusedly at Engfa before her girlfriend pulled her closer by the wrist and whispered in her ear:

“Somebody left too many hickies last night, I had to cover it up with makeup.” the older woman said sultrily while Charlotte blushed like a tomato.

Charlotte pulled back and gave Engfa a serious, reprimanding look. She whispered back, “Fa still dares to only wear a pair of sports bra?”

Engfa shrugged casually and took another gulp of water, “It's very hot to dance in a shirt.”

Charlotte frowned with a pout, her eyes now scanning meticulously over Engfa's shiny, sweaty skin. “Makeup will melt, bee…”

Engfa's eyes sparkled mischievously, “Then I guess everyone would know we did it last night.”

“Fa fa!” Charlotte scolded softly but was only accompanied by Engfa's cheeky laughter.

“We're starting the practice soon, Englot. P’Char you can put your things on the bench!” Daisy called out from the middle of the dance floor. Engfa sent Charlotte a wink and went back into position.

Charlotte could only sigh and take off her cardigan, leaving her in a crop top and baggy jeans. She followed after Engfa and let Daisy direct her position next to her girlfriend. Unbeknownst to the public, she will be the special guest at Engfa's Songkran Concert.
