Chapter 4. Meeting the Boyfriend

Meeting the Boyfriend

"Phi". Zee called Mew helping him clean the dishes.

"Hmmm". 

"Is it good to be in Love"? Zee asked drying a plate. 

"Yes it is. Its amazing". Mew washed the last dish and turned to him.

"Phi'Tae told me what is Love. But i think he doesnt need to tell me. The way he looks at Gulf. It shows what is Love. Have you noticed his eyes shine when he looks at him. His lips smile when he talks about him. His arms stretch on its own to hold him. His feet drag him where Gulf is". Mew was telling him and Zee couldnt help but notice the shine in his eyes. 

"Like you are glowing at this time Phi". Zee said and Mew looked at him surprised.

"Am i"? 

"I dont know who is the person you are in Love with Phi. But your eyes are sparkling at the moment. Your face is all smiles. Its tinted pink Phi. Oh my god. You are blushing Phi". Zee exclaimed in awe and Mew hide his cheeks.

"Damn Zee. Lets go. Lets watch a movie". He shushed him trying to hide his blush. But failed. Thanitt said the same once. That he blushes talking about his Love.

"Nope Phi. Not at home. I want to go for shopping. Then lunch what say? I missed you Phi". Zee was excited but his face screamed loneliness.

"I missed you too Zee. When i was abroad, whenever i was free, i usually thought about you. There was time when Thanitt was ready to pack me and send me here looking at me gloomy all the time. If only i had not work to finish, i would have never left you". Mew held him in his arms swaying left right.

"I Love you Phi". Zee said and Mew smiled. It was a routine. Right?? 

But... Why was it different??

********

They had spent hours shopping. Zee was looking for a perfume, he turned and found Mew holding it. 

"Ohh Phi. You already have it. You remember i love it". He was feeling giddy that his Phi already picked it for him. 

"Ummm Zee. I .. I wanted to gift it... To...". He was hesitating a bit and Zee didnt like it. But he masked his disappointment...

"Its okay Phi. I will grab the other piece". Zee turned but Mew stopped him. 

"Zee. Its the last piece available. Okay how about you have it. I know you always look for this one. I will grab some other for him". Mew replied cheerfully handing him the perfume and went to check the other.

But for the first time, Zee lost his interest in it. He placed it back and followed Mew who was busy getting the perfume packed.

"Hmm. Did you get it"? He asked him asking for his perfume to pay but Zee shrugged. 

"Actually Phi. The sales person said its defective piece. So i left it. I will have something else". He lied. And he dont know why. But he did. 

"Okay. You want anything else"? 

"Nope Phi. Are you done"?

"Yes i have bought and tagged gifts for everyone. I guess we should head to lunch". He grabbed the bags and left for the restaurant. 

"Phi. Are you gonna introduce him"? Zee asked taking a bite of his favorite shushi.

"Ofcourse Zee. I was thinking about tommorrow Dinner. Its weekened. Also Thanitt wants us to meet someone". He told him.
