Falling In Love Again

-3-

After loitering around the baby room for quite some time, Gulf decided to go up to the indoor playground in that orphanage and took a rest in there. He quietly sat near the window and immersed himself with the scenery that he saw from that large window. He was exhausted. Not just physically, but mentally as well. Somehow, he was reminded again by the event of Mew, proposing to his new life partner, not even aware that his tears had fallen on to his expressionless face.

How could Mew cheated on him? They were so good together, but after meeting his child hood best friend, Mew began to change, and gradually he started to fall out of love for him. It never crossed Gulf's mind that Mew would choose another man over him because Mew had insistedly said he wasn't into men except for him. But as soon as he met Tul again, the child hood friend, they became distant and before he knew it, Mew had dropped the bomb, wanting to have a divorce out of the blue.

Of course, it triggered Tae and Thanit's anger who always wanted Gulf to be happy after all the torments he had gone through. They threatened to teach Mew a life lesson that he would never forget. Mew also knew the trouble he would get into, but he was blinded by love. If it wasn't for Gulf, refraining his brothers from attacking Mew, that former husband might have been crippled by now. However, after he saw that romantic proposal, how he wished he didn't stop his brothers from beating Mew into pulp.

Gulf wiped his precious tears with his palms. But it wouldn't dry out. He needed tissue to make it dry. And as if someone had read his mind, he was offered a tissue out of nowhere which he quickly grabbed, thinking that it might be from Win. "Thanks...." He said sadly.

"Tell me if you need more."

Gulf froze when the voice penetrated his ears. Obviously it wasn't belonged to Win. And he was assured it wasn't Tae or Thanit either. So, who could it be? Panicky, he quickly lifted up his face only to meet the eyes belonged to one of the handsome bodyguards he saw earlier.

"You miss this spot." The man gingerly wiped Gulf's chin with his thumb.

"Holy mother fucker!" Gulf gasped. And immediately Tae's voice was heard from the speaker.

"Mind your language, Gulf!!" Scolded Tae in his firm voice.

Gulf quickly looked towards the camera and waied as a sign of apology. He knew Tae was watching. "This is your fault." He glared at the man who had a cynical smile on his lips.

"Which part of that can be considered as my fault? Do you mind telling me?" Asked the man with a light smirk on his face.

"You startled me."

"I apologize for that. Didn't mean to do that. I just wanted to give you something to wipe off your tears, even though I rather do that myself."

"Do you think I will let you touch me with those hands?" Gulf barked.

"Who says anything about touching you with my hands?"

"Then, how are you going to dry my tears?"

The man smiled as he stepped closer and whispered to Gulf's ear, just to be assured the boss wouldn't hear him. "With my tongue, licking the tears off of your face."

Gulf's face was flustered red. His eyes were rounded widely. "Th..that will only make it more wet."

The man chuckled. "Yes. And it will not only be your face is wet....I bet....something else will be wet too." He winked.

Gulf immediately pushed the man away from him. "Stay away from me, Phi Kao! I warn you! Stay away!"

"So....Mr. Darvid was right. You do remember me. But...I have never introduced myself to you even when we were still schooling. How did you know my name?"

"That is not your concern! What you need to be worried about right now, is Phi Tae and Phi Thanit's wrath after I tell them that you have been harassing me!"

Kao smiled. "This is good."

"Getting killed by my brothers is good? Are you stupid or what?" Gulf asked rudely. He didn't mean to be rude, but he was in his panic mode. He always rambled when he was in that mode. He even talked whatever came to his mind just to hide his own situation.

"No, Mr. Kanawut. That's not what I meant. I'm simply glad after seeing your reaction which obviously you are affected by my presence and my words." Kao smiled softly at Gulf. "You can always ignore me like you did at school or beat me up for talking nonsense. Even tell Mr. Darvid to fire me through that camera instantly. But you are acting so cute instead. And I wonder why."

"Cute? Who is cute? Me? Am not! Am handsome! And...and...how dare you speak to me like this! Do you really want me to beat you up? I can you know! I....you...I mean...I can, but I don't want to hurt people without a good reason."

"Me....harassing you is not a good reason? Or...you actually like it to be harassed by me? But of course to me this is called flirting." Kao wiggled his brows.

"Flirting my...."

"You better not say it, or Mr. Darvid will be mad."

Gulf pursed his lips.

"I've asked Mr. Darvid and you brother's permission to court you." Kao announced as he moved closer to Gulf again.

"You...you what?!" Gulf was completely taken aback by the news.

"I want to court you. And my wish has been granted by your brothers. So, I will make you forget about your unworthy ex-husband. I will make you think about me only that I know will begin from this moment. Just me, Mr. Kanawut."

"No. I will not think about you! Never ever! And stop courting me! If I want you, I will do the courting! I mean...err...." Gulf suddenly realized what had came out from his stupid mouth.

"So...that's it, isn't it? I just need to make you court me. And if that is all it takes, trust me, Mr. Kanawut, you will start courting me soon...."
