The Right One...

-15-

Tae continued kissing Thanit who obviously was trying to avoid those thirsty lips. He wasn't just aiming for Thanit's pink lips, but his neck too. Whenever he had a chance, he plastered his lips on the skin and sucked it, leaving a deep red mark there.

"Sss....toppp..please...Phi...Tae...s...s..topp."

Tae heard Thanit's voice, pleading him to stop, yet, he ignored the plead. He missed that man. All he could think at the moment was to eat him. He craved for him, and since they were alone in his office room, he wouldn't let the opportunity slid from his grasp. Instead of stopping, he became more aggressive, unbuttoning his own shirt before his fingers began to move to the buttons on Thanit's shirt. If only they were at his place, he wouldn't take his precious time on Thanit. He probably had riped Thanit's cloth already in order to expose his whole sexy body.

"N...o..., n..o!" Thanit had no choice but slapped Tae's face. "I said, stop!!" He said breathlessly.

"Why should I stop? I miss you, baby." Tae forced himself on Thanit as he spoke, kissing those delicious lips, hoping that his action would make Thanit arouse and gave in, but once again he was pushed harder than before that caused Tae to fall back on the couch.

"I said stop!!" Thanit barked in frustration. "You can't do this to me. We are not in a relationship anymore!"

"Then, let's be in relationship. I'm still in love with you, baby."

"But I don't! I don't love you anymore!" Thanit spat out. He realized now, his heart was not for Tae anymore. It reserved for Paing only. "I love, Paing..."

"I don't believe you, baby. You won't be here if you do love him."

"I'm here because we were supposed to have dinner together. And I have agreed to it because I needed to get things straight between us. Probably breaking the news to you that I have moved on. It never crossed my mind that you would sexually attack me as soon as I came into your office."

"So what? I miss you, baby. I crave for you. Do you think I will do nothing when you obviously gave me the opportunity to devour you by coming here?" Tae smirked. "You want it too, don't you?"

"No! I don't!" Thanit barked.

"Because of that man? I told him we are going to have a meal, reminisce our old life as a couple. Guess what, baby? He left immediately after that. I wonder what he has on his mind right now. Maybe...he thinks, we are getting back together." Tae said in chuckles. "And since he might think like that, why don't you just come back to me?"

Thanit couldn't believe what he heard. "No! Not a chance! I will never get back to you! Never! I shouldn't have come here!" He barked as he swiftly fled from there. He needed to find Paing. He knew, Paing would be at home, and there where he went, hoping that Paing wouldn't misunderstand anything.

As Thanit had predicted, Paing was already home, immersing himself with his painting. He quietly moved to stand behind Paing, and backhugged his boyfriend firmly. "Paing..."

"Hmm..." Paing simply hummed in response.

Thanit wanted to say more, explaining himself, but he just couldn't. Only tears began to come down on his face. He was sobbing, burying his face on Paing's back.

Carefully, Paing put down whatever he was holding, then removed Thanit's hand and turned to face his crying boyfriend. He couldn't hide his anger once he saw a number of hickeys on Thanit's neck. "Why are you crying? I thought, you were having fun with that doctor? Or....you're crying because of the guilt for loving him more than me, and you're here to break up with me?"

Thanit's head was lifted up immediately and he shook it vigorously to deny the accusations. "No....no...I don't love him. I love you. I...I don't want to break up with you. I don't want to be apart from you."

"Then, what the hell are these?" Paing pointed to the hickeys on Thanit's neck.

"He force himself on me, Paing. I...I did my best to fight him, yet, he managed to attack me sexually. I've tried, I did try....but I failed. I have failed. He tainted me with his lips. I hate it. I hate it." Thanit cried.

"Why did you go and see him without telling me? Because you wanted to see who is the person that truly has your heart, didn't you? Which means, you are not sure about your feelings towards me. While I'm right here, is hundred percent sure that you are the one for me." Paing remarked even though he knew it would hurt Thanit pretty deeply. But he was hurt too when Thanit had decided to accept Tae's invitation without telling him about it.

"No!! I've never doubted my feelings! Please trust me!"

"Would you trust me if I come back with hickeys on my neck, even after I have told you that I was attacked by my ex-lover, the one who you saw, hugging me casually and called me 'baby'? Would you?"

"I...I would..."

"No. You wouldn't. There was uncertainty in your voice when you answered me." Paing stated sadly.

"Paing...."

"I do want to trust you, Thanit. I do. I just need time to process everything." Paing sighed as he turned his back to Thanit.

"What did you mean by that?" Thanit panicked. "Please don't say you want a break up."

"No. Just a temporary separation. I need to clear my mind. Right now, my brain is imagining things that can trigger the rage in me. I don't like it."

"For how long?" Thanit queried. He was devastated indeed, but he blamed himself for everything. It was his fault. He chose to be with Tae instead of running home straight into Paing's arms, so, he had to accept the consequences.

"I'm not sure. Maybe...until those hickeys are gone...or probably more than that. It depends on how long it takes for me to forget."

Thanit pursed his lips and nodded even though Paing couldn't see it. "I understand." It was no different from breaking up. Paing would never forget the hickeys. He simply had to accept his fate, that he might not be with Paing in the future. "I love you, but...I won't be in your sight per your wish. Sorry for everything." He slowly turned to leave but halted when he reached the door. "Goodbye.....Paing...." He said before he disappeared behind closed door.
