Lying, Cheating and the Consequence that Follow

Kongpob looked down at his phone, biting his lip. His best friend Aim had sent him a picture message, of Arthit and a girl. They were standing in a park, or what he thought was a park. There was a tree next to them. They appear to be having a discussion of some sort. Kongpob felt like crying. He knew who the girl was. It was the girl Arthit had cheated on him for six months with. The reason they had broken up.

Kongpob felt his heart sink to the pit's of his stomach, looking at the picture. Was Arthit cheating on him again? He didn't know if he could handle it a second time. It took him six months to get over Arthit the last time, this time around he didn't know if he ever would get over it.

Kong: When was this picture taken?

Best friend: Today. I noticed them when Pete and I were taking a walk. They didn't see us, but we saw them. It took everything for me to stop Pete from going over there.

Kongpob took a deep breath, exhaling it slowly. After his break-up with Arthit the last time, Aim was his comfort. Him and Pete. They stuck with him though it all. They made sure he ate, slept, took care of himself. They saw what the breakup did to him. If Arthit was cheating on him again, he would never recover. Taken another deep breath Kongpob responded back to Aim.

Kong: Thank you for letting me know.

He locked his phone, putting it on the couch beside him. It was Saturday, and he was in his apartment. Arthit had asked him on a date today. Kongpob had been so excited. Arthit has always doing things like this since they got back together. Arthit said he was helping Prem in the park, but they would go on a date after that. He had called twenty minutes before Aim sent him that picture cancelling. Arthit didn't give him a reason, just said sorry. Kongpob was disappointed and a little worried. Why would Arthit cancel their date with no explaining. Seeing that picture, now he knew.

It's been two years since they got back together, and everything was going smoothly. Arthit had proved time and time again that he loved Kongpob. Arthit would take him on dates every two weeks, give him gifts, make him breakfast, take care of him when he had a migraine or wasn't feeling good. The way he treated Kongpob was a million times better than before.

Arthit had taken Kongpob to meet his parents, and though the first meeting was tense, and his parents didn't approve, over time they came to love Kongpob. They had apologized on Arthit behalf for the cheating. Scolding Arthit in front of Kongpob. Kongpob found it a little funny, seeing his boyfriend being scolding like a five-year-old.

This time around Arthit wasn't hiding Kongpob. The first date they had after becoming official again Arthit reached out grabbing Kongpob hand. It had shocked the younger male but made him feel so happy. That was the only thing he wanted for the eight years they had been together. On the same date, Arthit had pulled him close in the middle of the mall and kissed his cheek. It had startled Kongpob making him push Arthit. The hurt look that crossed Arthit face, broke Kongpob heart. For eight years all was all he wanted. He wanted Arthit to hold his hand, to kiss him, to show the world they were together, and the moment he got what he wanted he pushed his lover away.

What broke Kongpob heart more was the bright smile Arthit gave him that didn't reach his eyes. Kongpob couldn't take it, he felt so bad. Without a second thought he had wrapped his arms around Arthit waist pulling him against him kissing his cheek back. The bright smile that had not reached Arthit eyes before, was now shinning bright in his eyes.

Now two years later, they were in a steady relationship once again, and Kongpob had no reason to doubt his boyfriend. Over the last two years, if Arthit had to stay late, he always asked Kongpob to keep him company, or they would face time. Arthit had said he never wanted Kongpob to feel insecure in their relationship. Arthit still spent time with his parents, but since they knew about them now, his parents would not allow Arthit to cheat.
