He Loves Me...Not? (The Ultimate KimCop Romance)

Chapter 9

A/N:  Thank you, my fellow fans of 2 moons the series, especially of Kimcop, for following this story and voting on it.  It gives me encouragement and inspiration to continue writing this fan fiction! 

Kimmon's POV

"P'Kim,"  this kid can really be persistent.  "P'Kim, please don't be mad at me but I can really tell that whatever it is that's bothering you,  must be pretty serious because it has robbed you of your bubbly personality.  You look  just like a spurned lover and it's making you look miserable. I want my bubbly P'Kim back!"

I really must give credit to this kid.  He may be very young but he is very intelligent, and very discerning.  He was totally spot on with his observation. I have no choice but to confide in him.  Who knows he might be able to give me some valuable advice.

I sat on the bed beside him and put on my most serious face.

"Bas, please promise me that whatever I say to you right now stays within these four walls."

He didn't say anything but curled his pinky finger around mine.

"Bas, I have fallen hard for someone who stubbornly refuses to give me any chance.  To make the situation worse I think he is in love with someone else and in fact is probably already into a relationship with him."

"P'Kim, stop jumping to conclusions.  Unless P'Cop himself has told you that P'Tee is his boyfriend, then you have every chance to pursue him."

What the hell, I haven't mentioned any names yet and already this kid is giving me his two cents' worth.

"But he won't let me,"  I wailed despairingly.

"When did you start pursuing him?"

"Yesterday."  Bas rolled up a thin booklet of a manga and hit my head with it.

"If you're giving up after just one day, stop complaining to me," he said.  "You are so used to having your conquests fall easily onto your lap that just one day of an unsuccessful pursuit has driven you to desperation."

"You know how Copter is,"  Bas continued, "he is a very cautious person.  You have to consistently and patiently prove to him that you are serious and sincere about your feelings for him."

We both fell silent for a while as I let Bas' words of wisdom sink into my poor muddled brain.

"I have an idea!"  he spoke up suddenly, "since all five of us don't have a scheduled shoot, let's spend the day at the beach tomorrow.  We can all pool our resources and rent a beach cottage for the night.  But you better not try any monkey business with P'Cop because that will only drive him farther away from you.  Be friendly and attentive to him, that's all."

"I'll do my best,"  I promised.  Why was I blessed with a good intelligent friend like Bas?

Copter's POV

P'Tee was getting ready to drive me home after I recovered from my earlier hysterics when his phone buzzed.  He took out his phone from his pocket, swiped it and said, "What's up Nong Bas?"

P'Tee listened intently to whatever it was that Bas had to say.

"Let me contact P'Tae first and see what he has to say, and of course I have to ask Copgi as well." Another pause.  "Oh, really?  P'Kim has already spoken to P'Tae and he agreed?  Okay then, I guess I only have to ask Copgi and then we're all set if he says yes."

P'Tee cut the call, pocketed his phone then turned to me.

"First of all, let me remind you that you can always say no.  And if ever you don't wanna miss out on this trip, let me remind you that I will be around to lend you any kind of support you need."

When I nodded, he continued, "Bas  was thinking that since tomorrow we all don't have any scheduled shoot, maybe we can all relax at the nearest beach.  He even mentioned about us pooling our resources to rent a cottage at the beach so that we can relax all day and all night."

Even before P'Tee finished talking, my heart was already pounding wildly.  I was going to be in P'Kim's presence all day and all night.  What if he makes any moves on me?  But then again P'Tee was going to be there as well, and good friend that he is, I can count on him to steady me if I faltered in any way.  No, I wasn't going to miss out on a relaxing day at the beach just because of the presence of a suave smooth talker who is trying to make me one of his numerous conquests but whom he will flick away like a half smoked cigarette or worse crush the the glow out of it into an ash tray.  No way, Jose.

"I'm ready to have fun with you at the beach, P'Tee,"  I said with as much determination as I could put into my voice.
