Be Mine - Lingorm

Part 43

 Orm

Since I was out of the hospital a few days ago, Ling has been so unexpectedly caring and attentive towards me. She takes me to work fetches me when I am done cooks me breakfast and dinner and unbelievably has someone bring some snacks to my workplace every other day even though I claim that she would make me fat if she continues to do so. She just grins saying that it would be cute if I was a little thicker. I am so thin and when she hugs me she is like embracing the thin air instead of me.

Who the hell tells her to have me in her arms every night when we watch movies? Well, it also started when I got out of the hospital the first night. We have become close since then.

It's so unusual of her to do those things to me when she has said to me before that she would never return my love to her and I have already accepted that painfully. To think about it I can't say I am not happy about it because I am and my feeling for her comes back in full force. She's caring and lovely and I fall into an abyss of uncertainty again.

I sigh feeling frustrated. I am working right now and my thought always goes back to the blonde who calls me every time she's free from work as if I were at home and not at work. Luckily, Kwang is my best friend and she also comes in a few times seeing I am on the phone but she doesn't complain about anything. Anyway, I should not have taken this work for granted no matter what because she is my friend she helps me a lot and she gives me a good salary as a manager in one of her departments. In fact, I just got promoted when we were back from Ko Samui as she said I am qualified for that position.

My phone rings alerting me that it's already lunchtime and Ling will call me as soon as the work time's up for lunch.

"Hello, my wife." Her cheerful voice greets me when I pick it up.

"Ling, I am hungry now. I have only a while to find something to eat" My stomach growls in agreement. "No worries, open your office door." She says hanging up abruptly. This girl thinks she can do whatever she wants. She calls whenever she feels like it and hangs up whenever she-

Wait!

Her words just sink into my skull as I rush to grab the knob opening the door. I gasp in shock seeing her grinning from ear to ear while holding some McDonald's plastic bags and two drinks. I want to shout at her for making me nearly have a heart attack but my other part thanks to her for bringing me food.

My eyes catch the sight in her hands, and the smell is so good. I yank her inside my office before closing the door. Fortunately, everyone is already out for lunch because I don't want them to ask me for more information after all I rarely talk about Ling at work.

"Ling, don't you have work?" I ask as she places the bags on the table sitting on the small couch in the corner. "I figure you would get hungry and I don't have much work recently so I think it would be great if we eat together" She smiles handing me a strawberry smoothie as my hand unconsciously grabs it faster than I expected. I should be annoyed but here l am trying to stop myself from smiling and seeing my favorite drink.

I sip the drink a little savoring the sweetness in my mouth before asking her in confusion "Ling, why do you know I love a milk green tea?"

She smiles patting the place beside her "Come here" I follow her offer as she continues "I know you love it because I have tasted it before"

That statement makes me even more bewildered. "Ling it doesn't relate to each other why you do know I love it and you have tasted-"

"I have tasted it from your mouth my wifely." She says calmly as if this is the most normal thing in this fucking world before sipping her coffee leaving me to sweat like I have run a mile even though there is an air conditioner in my office and it's a fucking winter for crying out loud.

She grins, obviously amused at my condition right now. "What? Cat got your tongue, Orm?"

Then, my supposed-to-be mouthwatering lunch became the plainest food I have ever eaten in my entire life. Lesson learned: Be careful with your question, Orm Kornnaphat.
