"Orm meet Korn." Lingling says when they're at the edge of the sidewalk outside the store. Orm stands on the sidewalk, her arms crossed in front of her. She looks around. There's no one with them. There are passers by but no one is precisely with them.
"Is this some joke? Do you have an imaginary friend?" Orm asked Lingling seriously.
"Let me try that again." Lingling says. "Orm, meet Korn", she points at her motorcycle now with a naughty smile, holding back laughter at Orm's straight face.
After a moment of pause, Carina rolls her eyes and whines "Lingling I can't believe you right now!" she almost turned around to walk back to the store
"Hey hey hey..." Lingling runs to catch her, holds her by the waist and turns her around."
Orm is shocked by the bold touch. Too close. Orm can feel her too close. And her heart starts racing again.
"I just wanted to pull your leg, lighten the mood before we head out. I didn't mean to upset you. I'm sorry" Lingling said softly, the sincerity in her eyes was so believable. Orm hated herself for feeling like giving in so easily. The power the woman had on her!
"You scared me." Orm admitted.
"Who did you think I was introducing you to?" Lingling asked, her gaze distracted by Orm's lips suddenly, and she quickly looked back up at her eyes.
Orm thought for a bit. "No one, doesn't matter. Let's go?"
So Lingling decides to let it go. She grabs Orm's hand and says "come on"
She gets on her motorcycle and hands Orm a helmet. She puts on her own, revs the engine and asks
"You alright?"
"Yes" Orm assures.
"Alright, lets go" She takes off, and Orm lets her hands find Lingling's waist to hold on to. Lingling gasped, when she felt Orm's hands on her. But she was thankful for the ambient sounds and her helmet that muffled the sound enough that Orm wouldn't have heard.
"So Korn huh?" Orm said.
"Ahaan" Lingling replied.
"Tell me about her"
"She's the longest love I've had" Lingling said proudly with a smile.
"Woah. Lingling Sirilakwong committing to something long term!?" Orm teased
"She treats me well," Lingling said.
"Is that what you want in love?" Orm asked.
"Doesn't everyone?" Lingling countered.
"Hmmm" Orm replied.
"I bought her with my own bucks. She's my dream motorcycle."
"She's pretty" Orm said.
"Pretty badass. Like me" Lingling said.
Orm laughed.
"Do you introduce her to all the women you go out with?" Orm asked. And Lingling knew what this question was. She knew exactly why Orm was asking. And Lingling also knew there was a reason she wanted to introduce Korn to Orm.
