One Touch and I Ignite (Bas)

Fireflies, a million little pieces
Feeds the dying light, and breathes me back to life
In your eyes, I see something to believe in
Your hands are like a flame
Your palms the sweetest pain

Do you know how hard it was to be around newlyweds? Well ask me. That’s how it feels like to be anywhere near P’Kim and Copter. They act so sappy it drives you insane. Believe me I’m happy for my two friends but they’re so sweet towards each other it makes me want to puke.

Anyway I don’t regret asking them to accompany me to Singapore because I don’t want be alone in case P’Godt showed up. But I drew the line at staying in one room. P’Kim wanted to book a suit but I put my foot down. I know they would do stuff at night behind my back and I don’t want to pretend that I didn’t hear. Call me dramatic but think about accidently hearing your sibling have sex or worse, parents? I shuddered.

So I have my own room and my sanity intact. I pulled out my outfit for the ceremony and started dressing. My Ps will come and pick me to get my make up done in fifteen minutes. I wish P’Tae and P’Tee were here too. But they have this religious ceremony for P’Jane in Chiang Mai.

My mother wanted to accompany me but she couldn’t because my sister wasn’t feeling well. I’m relieved to have P’Kim and Copter though.

I’ve never seen P’Kim this happy and relaxed. He had given up his drinking and clubbing and become really concentrated with his work. This is all for Copter. He made me a better man. He told me with a fond smile. He said he’d be breaking off the engagement with P’Sprite when she gets back from her vacation abroad with her father. I know it would be very hard for him with his family. But according to him life is not worth living if you don’t live it the way you want. I’d rather die than stuck in a business deal, he shook his head crunching his nose.

My phone vibrated on the counter by the dressing area.

P’Joss – Hey, Barbie

I smiled. P’Joss and his team is coming for tonight's event. I’ve met him couple of times after that day he gave me a lift home, not accidently of course. We went to movies and dinners few times, not just the two of us though.

P’Kim says that P’Joss likes me. But I doubt it. Why would he want an eighteen year old guy who looks like a fifteen year old boy, when he can get the hottest girls in anywhere? Besides he knows my situation. We are friends who understand each other well. And he’s a kind caring person.

P’Joss, did you all get here?
P’Joss – Yep, in the make up room.
We’ll be there soon.
P’Joss – Cool
