Orm had cooked Spaghetti alla Carbonara. And if Lingling's reaction to the flavour was anything to go by, Orm knew she'd done a great job.
They started off sitting across from one another, but as dinner progressed, Orm decided to scoot her chair closer beside Lingling,, and she placed her hand on her thigh, as they continued to talk over dinner.
"Your birthday's coming up" Lingling said,
Orm smiled "You remembered?"
"You're not the kind of woman I would forget anything about"
Orm blushed
"I want to remember everything about you, every little moment we share" Lingling said
"Have you used these lines on other women?" Orm teased
"Orm!" Lingling whined
"I'm sorry i'm sorry, I'm just playing"
"Well, I'm being romantic," Lingling said, proudly.
"I know.. It's.. sweet" Orm said, kissing Lingling on the cheek softly.
"What do you wanna do? For your birthday?" Lingling asked
"I don't know... I mean maybe just friends and family over for dinner or something you know?'' Orm said.
"Okay... let's make that happen" Lingling said, smiling at Orm.
Orm felt those butterflies again, with the way Lingling was looking at her.
"Orm?" Lingling said
"Yes Teerak"
"Do you think you could take some days off from work?"
"I can.. I mean I own the store... why?" Orm asked.
"I was thinking... maybe you and I could take a little... vacation.. Just for a few days, nothing too elaborate... get away from the city for a bit."
Orm smiled "I'd like that"
"Yea?" Lingling smiled wider now, looking more confident
Orm nodded
"Sooo... like a vacation involving a beach?... or do you just wanna do a staycation at a nice hotel or something...?" Lingling asked
"I don't know, Lingling Kwong... Think you can handle seeing me in a bikini?" Orm teased
Lingling took a deep breath. Her imagination already running wild.
Orm laughed, she knew exactly what she was doing to Lingling. She leaned in "Don't worry sir, after tonight, you'll have something to help with that imagination of yours..."
Lingling closed her eyes and took another deep breath
"Orm Kornnaphat, you just won't let me eat this scrumptious meal in peace, won't you?"
"Where's the fun in that? Orm laughed
Lingling shook her head, feigning annoyance.
Lingling then got lost in her thoughts, an old memory resurfacing...
"Orm... you once mentioned..." Lingling began
"Hmmm?" Orm asked, taking her last fork of spaghetti from her plate, bringing it to her lips.
