[Tee]

The alarm on my phone blared, awakening me and Fuse. He was obviously not so tired this morning because he stood up instantly and grabbed his towel from the chair.

"Hey Tee, let's go and take a bath now. I am so excited for Doi Suthep!" He said rubbing his hand to warm himself. It was still five and the morning air that came from the window was chilly.

"Okay." I stood and grabbed my towel too. "Should we take a bath together?" I scratched my head and yawned.

"Yes. Why not? It'll save us time if we do it together. No malice?" A naughty smile showed on his cute face as he rubbed his eyes.

"No malice." I answered, but at the moment, many scenes were playing on my mind about us taking a bath together.

"Okay then. Let's get there first before Frame and Book occupy the bathrooms."

Chiang Mai Travel and Tours. I read the signage above the entrance to p' Kram's three storey house. It was written in red bold letters on a white background, reflected there also was the telephone number and the address. I was waiting for them to go out of the house.

"Hey, what are you looking at?"

A voice distracted me from my trance. When I turned around, I saw p'Kram smiling wide at me with his hands on his waist.

"Ah, p', sawatdee khrap." I greeted him and smiled. "I was just reading what was written on your sign."

"Ah, I see." He answered scratching his head. "We just started the business, actually we will be turning one year three months from now."

"Sawatdee khrap aa, sawatdee khrap p' Tee." Keng greeted us as he went out of the door and Fuse was under his arm, laughing at whatever he said to him earlier. I faked a smile as I turned to them and balled my fist. What was he doing with my boyfriend again? I had not forgotten yet what he did with my Fuse last night, and  I swore I wouldn't allow him to be near him again, but look! I was jut gone for a second and he was like an eagle who swooped down to my helpless Fuse!

"Ah Fuse, come here. Your mom texted me." I said to Fuse while I dug my phone out of my pocket. I was lying as I did not feel comfortable with Keng getting a hold of my boyfriend.

I watched him walked slowly to me that wiped away the smile of Keng.

"What did mom say Tee?" My clueless cute Fuse asked as he rubbed the back of his neck.

"Hey Frame! Get up now! They are already waiting downstairs!" I shook him stronger, hoping he would be persuaded to get off the bed as Fuse, Tee, p' Kram, and Keng were already in front of the house. We had bathed already, but Frame, my ever lazy boyfriend decided to lay back to the bed.

"No!" He pouted and tapped his lips repeatedly.

"What do you want!?" I demanded as I felt we really needed to go down. I did not want us to have a dramatic entrance. It was just so humiliating, but this boyfriend of mine maybe wanted it! Tsk! I reached for his hand and tugged it hard.

"No. No. No. I am not getting up." He was shaking his head after he pulled his arm from my grasp. " Unless..." He added and tapped his lips with his forefinger again.

"I am not giving it to you if your not getting up from the bed." I made my tone harder and hoped he would stand.

"Promise?" He peeked on one eye and his naughty smile showed. Ha! This silly really wanted to make sure I would do it. I just hummed at his question and watched him sat on the bed, pouted his lips at me while closing his eyes.
