"Hey! Why are you so sad?" Ess asked me. They were running around the big swimming pool of the resort. Him, Wit, and Lukmo. Mom, dad, and aunt me were on the barbecue, setting it up for our dinner.

"No, I'm not." I lied and faked a smile at him. I sat on one of the chairs under a big white umbrella. "See?"

"Pfft. Come on man." It was Wit, rubbing my shoulder. Mo and Ess occupied the vacant seats beside me and stared at me, studying, like I am a weird specimen. "Did you have a fight?"

Not that I knew. I shook my head and smacked him on the head. He scowled and smacked me back.

We were here in Chiang Mai again for the opening of Mo's resort. We were a day early since the opening ceremony will be tomorrow evening. Mo's mom said we will be setting up the stage and the place tomorrow morning.

"Why are you in a bad mood?" Mo asked me which I shrugged as an answer. I really had no idea why. Maybe because I was a bit jet lagged and Book was not paying attention to me, plus, he was not here and was sleeping in one of the villa's room.

He slept on the plane and did not even talk to me long. He just said he was tired and lacked sleep then ignored me. Many things came to my mind and the worst was I was afraid his feelings for me changed already, that he did not love me like before. Gods! No! I couldn't let it happen! I love him so much and I would do anything for him. So maybe that was the reason why I seemed so distance. His attitude towards me bothered me and affected me so much. If he just knew how much I missed him when he went home to his family, if he just had idea how much I wanted to hold him and see him in person everyday, maybe he would be guilty with his actions towards me this whole morning.

"Hey, why don't you go to him? Just stay near him or hug him. I think he won't be angry if you will." It was Mo again. Listening to him, an idea popped into my mind. Yes, why not do his suggestion? I thought that was a good one.

"What are you talking about!? I am out of here! Bye!" I acted angry at them and walked fast to the villa. I hope I succeeded at my acting, but deep inside I just wanted to be with Book right now. I ran to the door of our room and saw him sleeping on the bed. He must have been so tired because he looked like it. A trail of saliva was on the pillow.

Awww. My Book looked so cute sleeping.

I wanted to kiss him right there and then. I love him so much and I accepted all his imperfections perfectly. You looked past those if you truly loved a person, right?

I saw Tee and Fuse sleeping on the mattress on the floor. Tee was hugging Fuse and I felt jealous watching them. If only Book and I would be as brave as them.

[Book]

"Wake up. Book? Book?"

I heard someone called my name. I thought I was just dreaming, but then I felt someone shaking my shoulder. I stirred and stretched then yawned. I was dead tired. It was because I traveled from our house to Bangkok yesterday. I had not rested well because I needed to get ready again for our travel here in Chiang Mai. Sure, we were on plane, but I still lacked sleep.

Now, I felt a bit relieved and my head stopped throbbing already. I just really needed sleep. I stretched as the voice called me again.

"Book? Are you awake?"

I hummed at the question and peeked with my right eye to see Frame sitting on the bed I was lying on.

"What time is it?" I asked after I let out another yawn.

"Four o'clock. Come on. They are already in the pool. Mo's mom and dad and Aunt Mae are setting the barbecue." Frame enthusiastically told me and laid down beside me. Good for him, he was not tired.

"I thought we we are going out?" I asked rubbing my eyes.

"Yes we are." He answered hugging me. "Let's wipe that saliva off your face first." He said as he wiped the side of my mouth with his thumb. I did not move and just let him did it.

"Then why are you lying there? Stop that! They might see us." I said then slapped his arm. He faked an exaggerated reaction and hugged me tighter. "Wait, did I really have it..." I wanted to protest, but he cut me off as he put a finger to my lips.

"Shhhh. I just missed you because we did not see for a very long time since you went home." He whispered to my ear.

Wow. Two weeks wasn't that long, plus, we were Facetiming everyday. He was unbelievable! Really!

I pinched his nose and told him we talk and Facetime everyday. He was whining as I did that and pouted when I let go of him. My boyfriend was so cute, seriously! Every time I looked at him, I couldn't believe I tamed this playboy, that he was mine and I was his. So to console him, I leaned closer to him and planted a kiss on the side of his mouth.

"Hey Book!" Frame whined and buried his face on the pillow I was using.

"What?" I demanded. I thought he was annoyed with what I did and it just ruined my afternoon. Before, he wanted me to kiss him, but now...

I moved to rise. I better go out and be with the rest of the gang than stay with the one who just changed my mood. He moved and hugged my chest while giving me that puppy look.

"Stay. Can we stay for a little longer like this?" He asked and gave me an awkward smile while his right thumb was gently caressing my chin.

I just rolled my eyes at him, but I stayed. Oh gods! I missed him so much!

He pouted his lips like the day when we were leaving p' Kram's house as he closed his eyes. I clearly knew what he wanted to happen. At times like this, he would only annoy me if I wouldn't give him what he wanted. Well, it was just a smack on the lips and it won't hurt me, so I decided to give it to him.

I moved closer to him and watched him opened his eyes and smiled at me. My heart stopped for a while at the sight of his begging eyes. He closed his eyes again and waited for me. Since I just wanted it to be done already, I planted a kiss on his lips. When I was about to withdraw, I felt his hand held my nape and locked me in position as he deepened the kiss. He kissed me feverishly and with passion that melted all of my thoughts to push him away because someone might see us. I was defeated by my longing for him so I returned his kiss with more heat.

"Are you kissing?" I heard someone asked behind me after moments of sparring my tongue with Frame. I withdrew and looked back to see Fuse and Tee lying on the mattress on the floor and were grinning like crazy.

Bam!

"Hey! You know it's bad!" Frame said and hugged me.

I was so embarrassed and all I did was hid under his chest.

Damn! Now they knew!
