What did I do?...

I went as far as pulling the petite woman in and kissing her as I unconsciously confessed my love. I start tearing out my hair in embarrassment just thinking about it. I can't stand myself. That's so cliche... But it was the most honest I've ever been about how I feel. I've never loved or liked anyone as intensely as I do now. Though I've had many lovers, I've never been like this. This woman appears to be claiming her place in the centre of my heart as if she isn't going anywhere.

"Hey. I like this song."

I tell Pang, who's about to change the song on her phone. The beautiful woman is in her air hostess uniform, preparing for her flight. She gives me a little glare.

"If you like it, play it yourself. I'm leaving."

"What's the name of the song?"

"Your song... It's a soundtrack."

"Who's the singer?"

"It says Sadub-Pin. That's a beautiful name."

"Who goes by the name Sanub-Prao?

"Sadub-Pin! You're ruining her beautiful name. Are you working on your novel?... You're taking it so seriously."

"Of course. I'm very determined. I've written five pages in an hour... I followed your advice, I'm the female lead and am flirting with the other female lead."

"Good... So, you'll be emotionally involved."

"Listening to the song you just played also makes me feel more so. I'm in love."

I exaggerate the display of my shyness, thinking that I'm flirting with a character in the novel, whom I imagine is Metavee.

"My heart is pounding."

"You look like you're really in love."

"Are you in a hurry to get to work?"

"Very."

"I just confessed my love to May yesterday."

"What..."

The shock on my friend's face makes me grin.

"Hurry back so I can tell you all about it. When are you coming back?"

"The day after tomorrow."

"Okay. Hurry back so we can talk. Come listen to what I've done."

I can feel that my face is all red, but my friend just looks at me quietly. She doesn't tease or criticise.

She just speaks to me flatly.

"Lock the door before you leave."

"I know."

The aspiring writer sends her manuscript to the gorgeous editor, who is patiently waiting in her air- conditioned study room. When I arrive, Metavee greets me with a big grin and excitedly waits for the next chapter of my novel.

"Let's see how the story progresses from the previous chapter. If it's not fun, you won't get a kiss."

I immediately scrunched my face upon hearing that. Does that petite woman think that I yearn for her kisses, love, and affection? But then again... those lips are so alluring. And I spent all day writing this novel, not doing anything productive, all because of her kiss, crazy.

"This is a new one, not the next chapter. Listen."

My voice fills with emotion as I begin reading my novel loudly as if I were doing a radio reading. I listened. to a few audiobooks on YouTube the other night. I learned many interesting techniques, so I applied them to today's reading.
