The Constant Beat - LingOrm (Completed)

Chapter 14

It was a bright Sunday morning, and Seline started her day with a cup of coffee. As she sipped the warm drink, her mind drifted back to her conversation with Keia the previous night.

It had been a lighthearted exchange, filled with honesty and a little vulnerability as they opened up to each other.

Keia had mentioned that working at the grocery store was only her second job. She revealed she also worked in an office as an assistant to one of the company heads.

Keia, still a trainee and not yet a regular employee, hesitated to share more details. Seline respected her privacy but was curious nonetheless.

Seline had also asked Keia about the two pretty girls she had seen dancing with her at the bar, the other night ago. Keia hesitated for a moment, knowing that Seline could be a little possessive at times.

"They're just friends from university." Keia explained carefully glancing at Seline's expression. "Their names are Ying and Prigkhing. They're actually a couple, so don't worry about them."

Seline, although still slightly suspicious, nodded and let the matter drop. Keia, feeling a bit relieved, then asked. "So why were you at the bar that night?"

Seline smiled, recalling the memory. "The owner invited us. He's a friend of Gap's."

Keia furrowed her brows. "The owner?" she repeated, her voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

Seline nodded, a little too innocently. "Yeah."

"I see.. So, what now?" Keia asked softly, the mood turning more serious.

"We need to talk about what happened last night." Seline said with a sigh.

Keia's smile faded, replaced by a sad expression. She knew what Seline was getting at. The conversation had stirred old feelings, and Seline realized she still had strong emotions for Keia.

She missed her, and it hurt to admit that things had changed between them. Seline didn't want to distract Keia from her career if they decided to get back together.

"You could never be a distraction to me." Keia said with a reassuring smile. "In fact, I'd work even harder knowing you're out there working just as hard."

Seline's heart warmed at Keia's words, but she remained cautious. "I want to be your inspiration, not your distraction, N'Keia." She replied quietly.Keia understood.

She gently took Seline's hand and kissed the back of it. "You've always been my inspiration, Seline. I know I have a lot of secrets right now, but I promise I'll share everything once things settle down."

Seline's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "You're not hiding another woman from me, are you?"

Keia burst out laughing. "Now you're calling yourself my woman?" she teased. "There's no one else, Teerak. It's only you."

Seline leaned in closer to Keia's face, her voice soft but firm. "Good. Because I want you to focus on me, only me."

Without another word, Seline closed the gap between their lips, and they shared a passionate kiss.
