Vodka, Myna and wives.... 3 things I tried to stay away from in this life and
the next! I woke up almost at dawn. The sky was still dark, waiting for the
sun to shine. I looked at the person lying next to me. She was exhausted like
me. How could Aoey and I end up there? Not only me who was already
awake, Aoey, who hugged me all night, now moved and smiled at me. Her
eyes were shining and full of love.
"How do you get up so early? Why did you look at me like that? Are you
mad at me for what happened?"
I looked at her angrily. She wouldn't let me free if I didn't do what she
wanted.
"Knew well?"
"I couldn't get enough of you."
I saw her joy. That was not the same Aoey. She was totally another woman,
another version that no one will ever see except me. How good was that? It
seemed like there was also another version of myself that I myself never
knew. And only Aoey could see this. It was this love...we became someone
we never knew just because of this person, this one person...
"Why do you love me, Aoey?"
I wanted to know why I never asked her why she loved me and was
obsessed with me. The other men who pursued me were because of my
looks and my wealth, but those were external factors. Ummm....we are all
judged by the outside. I figured Aoey would also watch from outside first.
"Don't know. I never had a reason. I knew that when I looked at you, being
with you made me happy. Do you know why you love me?"
I paused when I thought about it. I don't know why I love her. We were
friends when we were young, but once we met again, my heart became very
unstable. Eye contact, being with her, made me happy. I felt the same way...
"Umm... now I understand."
"Do you understand what?"
"That we love each other."
That was love. I only felt love. I didn't need to look for a reason. There were
so many handsome men chasing me, but it didn't make me feel the same
way. With her I felt full. I felt
sensitive. Everything was fine.
"If I were a man, would you love me the same way, Gen?"
"I don't know."
I rubbed her soft arm gently and went down towards her curvy waist like an
explorer.
"I like that you are a little girl, with beautiful eyes. You have something
those men don't have. But I never looked at other women because none of
them looked as beautiful as you."
"I'm not as beautiful as you."
"Then I have no reason to love you. I just love you."
"Then we have the same reason."
The smaller girl turned me to the other side and got on top of
me. She leaned down and kissed me on the chin.
"I just love you."
We simply love each other. That's all.
"How are you Todd? Do you feel better now?"
I went out to see Tod at his university. I was in a very good mood because
of what I just went through. I was in love and most importantly..9 out of 10.
. . Aoey told me my score in the morning, which surprised me. She made
me wonder what made my score go up so much.
"Because it wasn't you who did it. I was doing it too. Actually it was a 10
but I didn't want you to be so proud."
What a clever and shameless girl... But I successfully achieved a near full
score. When I entered her college with the handsome boy, all eyes were on
us, but I was used to it.
I was beautiful...
"It's good that I study a lot. It keeps me busy, so I don't have time to think
about it. But I can't forget it...I saw Sing and the new girl going to the beach
together."
"How did you see that? Were you a shellfish there?"
I asked him sarcastically. The handsome man laughed and shook his head
when he heard my sarcastic comment.
"Your beauty was gone when you made that kind of joke."
Sometimes I wanted to kill this guy. I was here to check on him!
"I saw it on his Facebook. They seemed in love... It seemed like they had
been together for a long time even though we just broke up."
"He cheated on you?"
"I don't know."
"How did you meet?"
"I practice sports...."
The short story was that Sing joined Tod's basketball game. They both had
the right chemistry of the game, football, and then the relationship
developed. They both knew their stories. Sing told Tod about his family and
how tough he was. He didn't have money to study. His parents separated
while Sing lived with his grandmother. Tod felt sorry for him, so he lent
him some money... Wait!
"Was there any money involved? Don't you think he was a scammer?"
The handsome man immediately rejected the idea when he first heard about
it. He said angrily and rejected being fooled.
"I'm not stupid."
"Love blinds us."
"And you think the reason Aoey is with you is because you benefit her or
something?"
Now I was the one who strongly rejected it. Aoey would never do that. I
was confident,
"Don't compare Aoey to a pimp like Sing. Aoey never asked me for
anything."
"But you are supporting her financially. If you weren't rich, do you think
Aoey would be with you?"
"Tod!"
"It's the same thing."
"No, it's not,"
I answered. I really got angry. It was a waste of time being there.
"Don't compare your cheap love with my love. I am not dumb."
"I'll see how intelligent a person like you will be. If you discover that the
people you love with all your heart are with you only for your money."
I looked at the man angrily. I knew he was so sensitive now, but it was too
much. He never crossed the line and attacked my love.
"Then be with yourself. If I'm stupid, at least she's still with me. Unlike
you... how much did you pay? He still left you!"
I returned to my condo in a bad mood but... love made me happier. I saw
the sweet eyes working seriously on her computer. She could be a wild and
sexy cat or she could also be a serious person. When I was upset, I usually
relaxed by taking a bath, but to my surprise, just one look at Aoey, working,
now my bad mood just disappeared... Beautiful...
"What are you doing? You look so serious."
Aoey looked up from her computer and made eye contact with me and sent
me a sweet smile..
"I'm writing a new novel."
"What is it about?"
"Our love."
"Hey?"
"I'm telling the story of our love, but I added some of my imagination. It's
good."
The smaller girl smiled so widely. I could feel happiness in her. I walked
over and sat behind her. I gave her a hug from behind her and smelled the
nice clean soap on her.
"Are you telling my story?"
"Yeah."
"Am I a man or a woman?"
"You are a man, of course... You are my love. My Gen. My original plan
was to write it just for you as a love letter, but now we're already in love, so
I'm writing it for other people to read now."
The soft eyes kissed me on the cheek before returning to her screen.
"Let me finish this. I need to concentrate."
"You kicking me."
"I'm shy when someone is reading my work."
The sweet girl was now writing here and there. I walked towards the
refrigerator. Although I told Tod that I was sure about Aoey, to be honest, I
was shocked by what Tod said. If I wasn't pretty. If I didn't have
money...would she be interested in me?
"Gen."
"Oh?"
I picked up a glass of water and drank it while thinking about so many
things in my head. Aoey, who was now typing on her computer, said
casually.
"I already broke up with Great."
What!? Water splashed from my mouth. I could almost see a rainbow if
there was sunlight. Aoey looked at me and laughed when she saw my wet
face.
"What happened? Why do you have to be so surprised?"
"Did you break up with Great? How is my brother now?"
"He didn't listen. I said I wanted to break up with him. He just hung up
immediately. I think he didn't want to hear it either. He might not be too
interested in me anyway. We never held hands, we never kissed. It was like
the love of kindergarten children."
I heard her cold voice telling me the story in confusion. Her soft eyes had
so many angles, some were so cute and sweet, and some were so cold. She
was charming and terrifying at the same time.
"Did you tell him the reason?"
"Yeah."
"Which?"
"I have someone else.."
My brother might go crazy now. He was the youngest of us and was never
disappointed by anything. He must have been crazy at home and talking to
my mom. Now I started to worry
about him. I should go home and check on him.
"Did he ask you who he is?"
"Yeah."
"What did you say?"
The soft eyes looked at me seductively. Two brown eyes looked at me
playfully.
"Guess."
I was worried about Great and also wanted to know what he knew. I drove
home to see my mother walking in a circle, looking very worried. I figured
it must be a big problem.
"Where's Great Mom?"
"He's gone crazy upstairs. He beats the drum so loud. Dad's not at home."
Great was my mom's most beloved son. I was my dad's most beloved
daughter. When Great did something wrong, Dad punished him with rules
and punishments. He was afraid of my dad, but his mom spoiled him. I
went up the stairs to shudder at the sound of the drum. When the door
opened, Great paused for a bit before continuing.
"This is too strong."
"Aoey broke up with me!"
I closed my eyes and listened to him like a child crying. His whole life, he
left other girls because he was handsome, rich and had a car. Once he was
dumped by someone who didn't care about that. He went crazy. What could
I say... Aoey's other option was better. I was beautiful, rich and intelligent.
But I shouldn't be proud in this situation.
"Your relationship was not progressing. Breaking up could be a good
option. It's good for you too."
"But I like it. She is the one that not even I could touch. I just wanted to be
with her. At least being her boyfriend was like we were linked by an
invisible thread."
What was that nonsense...?
"Now she cut the invisible thread. Move on and get a new girlfriend. That's
all. Whoever you want, just spend your money. We have a lot."
"Can you stop talking like it's easy? If you like someone enough, you won't
say things like this."
Great said.
"But what do you know, you can only love yourself."
"Don't look down on me. You don't know everything about me. If they let
me, I won't be crazy like you. If the girl finds out that you are misbehaving,
she will only confirm her decision. I can tell you this because I left so many
guys before. That wet trash."
My little brother threw down his drumsticks and walked towards me
pleading.
"You are close to Aoey. Can you talk to her please? I've been thinking about
what happened. In reality, nothing had happened. I only tried to touch her
once. That wasn't a big deal, not big enough to break me up."
"Let me ask you something really... Do you really think you get along with
her? Or are you just pushing?"
He was reluctant to answer that. I felt guilty trying to talk to my brother
about breaking up with the woman I love. Was that confusing?
"I don't mind. I like it. I love her. I really want to know who she is, go on a
date."
"Didn't he tell you?"
I felt relieved. I knew that if she really told him, he would react differently
towards me. Because I was the big piece of his thorn.
"Yes, he did, but I don't believe her."
"What did she say?"
"She's dating a woman."
Now my heart dropped to my ankle. I wanted to look normal but I knew I
wasn't normal.
"What do you think?"
I barely made eye contact with him. Great didn't notice anything and shook
his head.
"I do not believe her. It's an excuse she couldn't understand. She can date
anyone except a woman. It's just an insult. If only I knew who she was, I
would beat her up."
"No, you won't."
I looked at him with contempt. Uncle Somkit, my father's assistant, would
never hit me. But what I said made him even more angry.
"Why not! I don't care if she's a woman. Whoever steals who I love. I will
beat everyone, man or woman. I don't mind."
My little brother walked over to the drumsticks and picked them up from
the floor. He returned to the drum and began to beat them madly again. I
looked at him and sighed with concern.. What a headache. I drove back to
my condo. What a headache! I drove around worrying about something
stupid. I barely had time to study. As I waited for the elevator, long arms
wrapped around me from behind. I almost screamed.
"Cuckoo."
"Aoey... it's scary."
I rubbed my face nervously. The soft eyes smiled at me. In her hands, she
carried so many shopping bags.
"Are you here for the purchase?"
"Yes, I saw you here, so I snuck up behind you. When you're scared, you
look so cute."
It was so different from her serious work mode this morning, from when
she was so cold talking about Great. Now she looked like a kitten playing
with me, wanting me to take her in
"Don't give me that sweet look."
"Don't you love me?"
"What should I say?"
I laughed and nodded with a red face.
"I love you like crazy."
"My heart beat so fast hearing you say that. I'm hot."
The soft eves were happy and playful. She was so direct and open about it. I
sometimes felt that she was a man who talked about sex so openly.
"Don't be too lustful."
"I'm only like that with you. I want to do that somewhere other than the
condo. Should we go to the parking lot?"
I wanted to faint hearing her plan. I thought she was joking, but she
changed the direction of the elevator to the parking lot. I was so confused,
but I still followed her easily...
"Hey, I think."
"Come on! Let's do it. We are here. Where's your car?"
"Are you serious? I thought you were joking."
"Why are you following me then?"
"What happens if someone sees us?"
I smiled at her but she responded by jumping happily and responded
casually.
"Then we stop, and we continue when they are gone."
she was so cute.... I was so in love with her. No matter what she did, I fell
madly in love with her. I tried to restrain myself from going all out. But it
seemed like my head and my heart weren't cooperating.
"You look so happy, Aoey."
"Yes, I haven't felt happy like this in a long time. I don't remember the last
time I felt happy. It could be when I got to kindergarten. You have taken
away my happiness since then."
"So you were obsessed with me?"
"I admired you when you were so angry that I gave you lice and I ran to a
barbershop and asked them to shave my head but my mom wouldn't let
me."
I laughed and remembered the story. She seemed to be obsessed with me
for a long time. It was strange that when we met again, I was obsessed with
her too. How did it happen? She turned to look at me when I fell silent. We
made eye contact before she smiled at me and moved her hand around me.
"Why are you looking at me like that? I'm shy."
"You make me happy. You are like my happy vitamin."
"I can not wait. Let me hug you."
I pulled her hand and pushed her towards the back of a pillar, to hide from
the people. I looked around for cameras to make sure no one could see us. I
kissed her passionately. I kissed her with enough passion to get started. I
pushed her when I thought it was enough just for fun.
"I think..."
I said reluctantly,
"I think I'm lost with you. What did you do to me?"
"So good. I don't have anything I'm good at. I'm just good at this, maybe it
will help us get closer..."
"Silly! I don't like you for sex."
"Then why do you love me?"
The low voice that interrupted us scared me. It was the voice of a man. A
man I knew too well. I slowly turned around to see Great standing there
with his fist clenched in pain. Aoey and I were not prepared for this. Now
there was no escape.
"Are you in love because they both have breasts? You are sick!
