He hates me NOT

XVI. A glass of...

Beam's P.O.V.

4...I already gave him 4 digits of my phone number.  There's still 5 more to go.  I got 5 more times to hang out with him and then what?

What will happen after I give him my complete phone number?

Will he stop?

"HURRY UP,  BEAM!! I ALREADY TOLD YOU LAST NIGHT TO PACK YOUR THINGS!!"

I flinched upon hearing Kit screamed from the doorway.  I was preoccupied with packing that I haven't noticed him entering my room. Not to mention, I was rather thinking about complicated things.

"You only have 30 minutes to pack up!! Why are your clothes still on the bed?! "

I sighed and grab my clothes to fold it inside my backpack. 2 shorts, 2 shirts, and 1 long sleeve because I have sensitive skin and I have no plan to take a swim in the sea. I already packed my undergarments and toiletries.

"Okay,  I'm done.  Let's go. " I said after hoisting my bag on my back.

Engineering Department

We were reminded that we should be on the parking ground at 8:30 a.m. for the assembly. I barely made it because there was only one bag to put on the bus compartment. I quickly got out from the car,  Kit also did the same.

Kit just drove me here so that he could see Ming before we go to Khao Yai. The hazing Team were busy for a week to make the tree planting possible. All engineering freshmen with the hazing Team will be doing their annual community service at Khao Yai by planting mangrove.

Before I got inside to one of the bus waiting, out at the corner of my eyes, I saw Kit shove a Tupperware to Ming. Must be a lunch box since it's a 4 hours drive from here. Aish, Kit is being a good wife.

Inside, almost all of the seats were occupied but there's one vacant seat at the middle part of the bus.

"Dr.  Baramee." A voice greeted.

"Khun Jaturapoom..." I greeted back, trying to show him I'm not affected with him.

"There's no available seat anymore, why don't you sit here?"

I haven't agree yet but he's already pulling my wrist towards him.  He moved towards the aisle while he's leading me to the window side. What the heck! Why is he trapping me?

"Wait... Wait! What are you trying to do, Khun Jaturapoom?" My hand automatically went to his chest to push him.

He blinked with wide eyes as he answer me,  "Sit with me?".

Cute!!! I squealed internally

"Duh! Where else would I sit, Forth? This is the only available seat." I rolled my eyes.

"No wonder this seat was left available. The freshmen riding with you must have deliberately avoided you. " I added

He pouts, "You're always mean to me."

I rolled my eyes as I settled on my seat. 

•••

2 hours into the trip, the bus stopped in a gasoline station. It's a 30 minutes break and you can come out of the bus to do your business.

"Meanie." Forth called.

He's been calling me meanie for the duration of two hours and I've been ignoring him ever since. He turned his body towards me and poked me on my cheeks. I furrowed my eyebrows together, trying to stop the warm feeling threatening to show up on my cheeks.

"Meanie, let's go down. I'll buy you a macchiato."

I pout and still ignoring him.  How the fuck does he know what I like? Is he some sort of a psychic?

"Iced macchiato... "

Okay, that's it! I looked at him at the corner of my eyes and saw him with those big eyes again. OMG! I want to cry.

"O... kay" I mumbled.

We got out from the bus and he immediately took my wrist into his hand. He drag me to one of the stall serving beverage and ordered my iced macchiato and his strawberry frappe. I tried prying his hand off my wrist but he stayed unmoved.

"Are you aware of what you are doing, khun Jaturapoom?" I asked, still looking at his hand.

He looked at where my eyes are directed, "I don't think I know what you mean?" He grinned.

I'm sure he knows what I mean. 

"Oh! You mean this?" He raised my wrist.

I just looked at him with one eyebrow raised.

"I actually want it lower..." he trailed off while he slowly envelops my hand with his big hands. I looked at him with wide eyes as my heart beats uncontrollably inside my rib cage. He interlaced our fingers together and smiled at his work.

"Here's your order, sir." The lady announced our order and that broke the spell.

He laugh and retreated his hands to my wrist again, "...but I'll just settle with this for now. "

My palms feel so empty but my heart feels like it's so full that it is about to burst. I... I want to feel those rough hands again. It's different from a doctor's hand.

He hands me my iced macchiato liked he promised and drag me again. I can't make this warm feeling go away even though I am literally shoving the cold drink to my face. I can't stop looking at his hand.

We returned inside the bus after we finished our own drinks and we were back on the road not long after. I was still in daze when we arrived at Khao Yao's natural park. I went to where the medic team is gathering because right now, I have no idea what I'm gonna do.

"Doc Beam, how's the ride?" Fai from the department of nursing greeted.

I touched my wrist and rubbed it lightly to bring back the warm earlier, "I... I don't remember. "

Fai just looked at me and said,  " I heard you were sitting beside the head hazer? "

I blushed and looked down at the ground because I'm afraid he'll see my red face.

He chuckled, "I hope you still remember what's your task, head medic? "

I instantly looked at him puzzled,  "Umm... I also forgot about that." I squeak.
