MingKit - One✅

38

"Huh?" Did I hear him right?

"I said no." I let his hand go.

"Why?"

"You asked because of the romantic atmosphere, right? That romantic atmosphere was created by me, you can't use it. If you want to propose, invite me out to dinner, get on your knee and...do you even have a ring? Where's my ring?"

"..."

"Once you get all that done, I'll think about it."

He'll think about it. Not say 'yes' but think about it. We can always get the rings later. I can't believe him. I stood there, dumbfounded, watching him walk away.

"Ming..."

"Yes" He stopped and turned to me.

"Come here."

"No. Your face looks scary."

"If you know what's good for you, either come here or say yes." He took two steps back while shaking his head no. I took a step forward, ready to pounce on him. "Mingkwan...come here."

"No" I pounced on him and grabbed his ears.

"Say yes."

"No." No matter how many times I shook him, he still said no. I only gave up after we got to the front door of the apartment.

I moved my head out of the way when he tried to kiss me, after the door closed behind me.

"We're not doing it until you say yes." I told him matter of factly.

"So mean...sweetie, babe, my love, don't do this to me na." I moved my head from side to side, avoiding his lips as much as I could, until he gave up.

When we finally settled into bed, I smacked him when I thought of how he said no to me.

"Aw aw Kit..." He locked me in an embrace, stopping my fists.

"You're unbelievable. Is it hard to say yes? Or is this revenge for when I said no to all your stupid proposals?" I moved, turning my back to him.

"I want a romantic proposal, that's all. It's not revenge." I didn't stop him when he nuzzled my neck, which I probably should have because before long, I'd been seduced. Why am I so weak when it comes to Ming?

He kept his word. He kept my throat sore and my body tingling most of the day Saturday. I had to drag him out of bed to go help me move my stuff to the hostel. The room reminded me of the room I used while we were at the university. Ming complained about how this was not a good idea among other things, even more so after he saw the room. When he pointed out that the room was smaller than our old rooms on campus, the cramped feeling I'd been having got worse. But in the end, he stayed until Monday morning.

I spent the next few days trying to figure out how to get stupid Ming to say yes while looking at properties close to the hospital. Most of the apartments and houses I liked had too many rooms. I was looking for something with two rooms. My next day off was on Thursday. I spent all morning checking out properties and, in the afternoon, I decided to surprise Ming at work.

"The Assistant Director? Do you have an appointment?" I didn't like the receptionists tone and the way she looked me up and down. Probably because I wasn't dressed like an office worker. It's hot and I thought a pair of shorts and a clean short sleeved shirt would do. Besides I'm not here for work.

"Tell him Kittinan is here to see him and I'm sure he'll make time for me." I couldn't help but sound a little offended.

"Okay. Have a seat while I do that." I didn't trust the receptionist, so I sent Ming a text while I waited.
