Ch. 25 Unexpected Visit

Hiiiiii yes I am alive and to be honest just haven't been in a writing mood. Busy with life but my one goal this year is to finish at least one of these stories! Sorry for the long wait! Uploads will be inconsistent I'm sorry. ❤️

Forth POV

Yo really is something special. He has all these people in his life and they care so much for him. I regret not being there for him. I will not mess it up again because he is the one for me and I can't imagine a world without him. I still couldnt get over what P'Jane said. I needed to ask Tharn or else it's going to eat away at me. But I'm scared to find out the answer because as they say curiosity killed the cat. However would Tharn even answer me? He's stated clearly that he doesn't like my presence. Maybe I should ask Ming first? He would be the easier one of the two to approach and ask. I decided that this would be the better option or at least the first. I bring out my phone and dial Ming's number. The ringer goes on for a few minutes before he picks up the call.

"Hi P'Forth whats up?" Ming asked.

"Hey Nong Ming I have something I wanna discuss with you? Do you think we can meet up?" I asked.

"Oh uhh do you think we could talk it over the phone?" he answered back.

"Unfortunately I think this requires a little more of a face to face answer rather than being on the phone." I replied

"Oh I see P I guess I could meet up with you? Where are you and I'll meet up with you?" he asked

"I'm at Yo's house." I said.

"Okay P I'll meet you there in a few." he stated.

Ming POV

Forth responded with an "Ok" before hanging up. I wonder what he wanted to discuss with me? Well I guess I better start heading out now. I grabbed my keys and walked towards the door. The pain of the stab wound still hurting. I know its been a few weeks since I was discharged from the hospital but the wound still hasn't fully healed yet. I tried my best walking as to not open the stitches. As I opened the door I was stopped in my tracks as I see Phana standing there seemingly about to knock on my door. I stumbled back a bit.

"Uhh huh hey P'Pha ww-what are you doing here?" I asked.

"I uhm actually came to see you." he answered.

I composed myself and said "If this is about the kiss let's forget about it. Like it never happened."

"I wanna talk to you about it. I tried to forget but thats just it I can't or more like I don't want to." he said.

And as if on cue my Mother comes up from behind.

"Can't what?" she said.

I turned around.

"Hi Mom uhhhm uh Phana my friend here was just telling me how he uh can't stop by like before because he feels like he would be intruding." Wow Ming smooth real smooth I thought to myself looking at her nervously.

"Like before? Hmm I have not seen you before but if you are a friend of my baby boy then that is some nonsense you're welcome here anytime." She said

"I would love to Ma'am so I could spend some time with your oh so gracious and handsome son." Phana said.

I looked at him wide eyed and blushing and composed myself and gave him a glare. He must've noticed as I see a slight smirk creep across his face.

"Ohohoho my Baby boy does have other friends besides little Yoyo. He never brings anyone around so you must be special." She says giggling.

"Oh I do hope I will be indeed special." Phana says.

*cough*

I interrupted their conversation and said "I must go now."

"And where do you think you're going Mister?!" my Mom said stoically.

"To Yo." I answered.

"As much as I know you care about little Yoyo you are not driving in that condition." She said

"But Mooooom! I'm needed." I whined.

"NO! I'm sure Yo will understand you need more rest." She argued.

"Ma'am..."

"You can call me Mae. It is not every day I meet a friend of Ming." she interrupted.

"Ma'.. I mean Mae I am willing to drive him to Yo." Phana said. I glared at him for even making that suggestion. I could've talked her into letting me go idiot i thought to myself.

"Hmmm if that is the case then you can go."

"Thats okay I think I need to rest like you said Mom." I said.

"Just go you were so insistent earlier what is making you so hesitant now?" She asked looking at me inquisitively.

I sighed and gave up in defeat. "Fine." I said.

"Do not worry Mae I will take very good care of him." He replies with a smile.

"Perfect!" She cheers as she walks back into her room.

I glared at Phana he could only look at me with a large grin.

"Let's go Baby Boy." He teased.

"Shut Up you idiot." I retort.

I punched him in the shoulder for being such a nuisance to me.

"Hurry up let's go to your car." I angrily say.

"Okay." He says but then as I walked out and closed the door something unexpected happens. I'm lifted off my feet into a bridal position.

"What the fuck!" I exclaimed.

"You're not walking like that when you're not fully recovered yet. So I'll carry you." Phana explained.

"Like hell you are! Put me down you idiot." I yelled with a blush creeping across my face.

"No." He said with a commanding yet comforting voice.

It made me shudder so we stayed silent as he carried me to his car. I didn't retaliate not only from the fear of me opening up my stitches but also from the feeling of warmth? He put me down as soon as we got to his car. He let out a sigh.

"I'm sorry Nong Ming. I should've asked you before saying all that to Mae and picking you up like that. But I really need to talk with you when we get the chance to be alone. We need to discuss it." Phana said.

It meaning the kiss is what I'm sure he is talking about. He is right we need to as I have been losing sleep over it wondering why he did it. Words couldn't process as I just nodded in agreement with a slight hum.

"Great let's talk after you've done what you need to do at Yo's place." Phana said.

We both sat in the car and Phana started driving.
