I saw him as I was getting into the elevator. The small group of people that huddled even closer to the one in the middle was a dead giveaway that I was in the presence of SOMEONE important...and the fact that they were several heads shorter than the man they were trying to hide was laughable. He grinned at me over their heads and gave me a short friendly head nod.
I returned the gesture and a small friendly smile. I was DYING to say something...anything...but this wasn't the time. This was his free time, his own time, and I didn't want to intrude on that. He had been so sweet and generous at the meet and greet. He recognized me as soon as I told him my name. He was generous and gracious as he could be with limited English and even more limited time. We rode the elevator up and finally I heard the ding to my floor. As the door opened I started to make my out of the elevator, I turned back around to get one more look at the beautiful young man. To my surprise, both the young man and his entourage followed me out of the elevator! Jesus fuck! Don't tell me we are on the same fucking FLOOR! My heart started to pound in my head at the pure coincidence. What luck was this?!
As I made my way to my door, card key in hand, I stopped to listen to the group of people coming down the hallway behind me. I didn't lift my head until I heard them stop at a door. My heart started pounding even HARDER..fuck, he was going to be 3 doors down from me..all night long? How in the hell was I going to sleep knowing that? I lifted my head up long enough to look over at him. He was once more staring at me with a soft smile on his lips...which turned up at the corners even more just before his entourage pushed him into the room and swiftly shut the door.
Breathing deeply, I slide my card in the lock and entered my room. I went about setting out my pajamas and headed for a shower. My heart was pounding every time I thought of the beautiful young actor that was going to me sleeping in the room just down the hall.
I had just gotten out of the shower and was relaxing on my queen sized bed when I heard a soft hesitant knock on my door. Who the hell could that be? I didn't know anybody in Thailand...not well enough for them to be knocking on my hotel room door at 12:30 in the morning!
I swung open the door, expecting to see hotel staff or something..but instead, I see the sweet smile of a young man that has haunted my dreams and fanned my deepest desires for more than 2 years! None other than Vachiravit (August) Paisarnkulwong!
"Oh! Uhm..Hi! Can I help you?" I felt my face heat up in a slight blush as I stuttered. He grinned at me good naturedly and held up a small liquor bottle.
"You have ice? They took mine!" I stared into the most beautiful set of brown eyes that I had ever seen. I didn't even hear what he had said. Shaking my head and feeling the color on my cheeks go darker, I finally remembered my manners.
"Do you want to come in?" Did I really just invite this TEENAGER into my room? A teenager that I would happily hop into bed with given the chance...even though I have NEVER once thought of another male in that way before..but I sure was NOW! I stepped aside as August walked into my room. I saw him look around quickly before sitting on one of the small chairs that went to the small round table by the window. I looked at him once more and my breath caught in my throat. He was so beautiful...and I could see the city lit up behind him out the window.
"So, what did you need again?" I was proud of myself for not stuttering as I asked him...but I was still trying to calm my raging heartbeat that was determined to pound out of my chest. I couldn't help but think about what an intimate setting this was....and my hands started to sweat so I wiped them on the leg of my cotton pants. August grinned at me in a way that I felt like he knew EXACTLY what he was doing to me, and was enjoying it!
