A FAN [Completed]

Chapter 8

Kongpob POV

I don't know how long we have been riding. I don't care. At this moment all that matters is that P'Arthit is next to me. Can you believe that? He is driving, with me seated next to him. Just imagine, how you would feel if your favorite celebrity offers a ride with him or her. My heart was swelling with happiness. I am so lucky! No, I AM THE LUCKIEST HUMAN IN EXISTENCE. He never once looked at me. But I didn't care. It's not like he ever knew me.I was ready to sacrifice anything for this moment.

This was the first time and probably the last time, I would be able to have this close look at his facial features. He was.....handsome, cute.... And...... cute. Those read chubby cheeks and rosy lips were ah-so tempting.Don't take me as a pervert. I am just head over heels for him. But I knew better even if I was insanely fanboying, silently, of course, I had to control.I didn't want to mess up my reputation further more. I wanted to initiate a conversation, to know as much as I can about him, at the chance I get .After what felt like an eternity, he finally pulled off near a Cafe named 'YOURS'.

He suddenly looked at me and motioned me to get off the car and head inside the Cafe. All I could do was stare at him without paying any attention to his actions. I could only awe at the fact that he was being serious about 'talking over a coffee'. He was a man of his word. His partner would be the luckiest out there. Okay, I know sound like I am biased with my comments but like I said, I can't help my condition. I like him too much. I felt something shake me off my dream world.

Only then, did I realize he was only an inch away from me with his hands on my shoulder, trying to get me pay attention to him . I don't know how his face made all the from back there to this close to my face but I was dumbstruck. He slightly poked me on my cheek and said, "Are you getting out or what? I said I would meet you over a coffee fe right?" Immediately, I felt heat creep all over my face. The adrenaline rush that I felt right now was so enticing. I quickly nodded and opened the door and walked inside  the Cafe leaving him behind. Why, you ask? He didn't have to see how much of a blushing mess I was right now.

He quickly trailed behind me and walked to the seat I chose, while I was gulping gallons of water to calm myself down. He sat across me wearing his ever so charming smile which was so disarming. I could not consist myself from cracking a small smile. Ahhhhh!! How I wish I could scream out loud now. He was looking at me for a while before calling the waitress to order. I didn't even hear him order because I was so busy staring at him at every chance I got. I swear, I will cherish each of these memories we made today for the rest of my life.

I snapped from my never ending imagination when I felt a pale hand shaking from side to side in front of my eyes to get my attention. I quickly dragged my compsure back to me and raised an eyebrow at him. He finally broke the silence and asked, "How are you doing today? Is everything well? I...um...... I'm sorry if I am wasting your time. I widened my eyes and so badly wanted to scream, NO P' I WOULDN'T MIND SPENDING REST OF MY TIME LIKE THIS but I said," Ah, it's okay P' it's not like I had anything scheduled today. Beside.. er.. I.... pleasure to meet you. I am fine, thank you and I hope you are doing well too..?" He chuckled and said "You are a quiet guy, I am doing perfectly fine, just a bit tired from work, but I can last for a bit more time......"

Without giving it a thought, I started to nag him, "P' shouldn't you be resting? Why are you wasting your free time with me here? You should go back P'.....yeah that's right... Let's go back." As much as I wanted him to stay a little longer, I was concerned about his well being. He chuckled again, "And here I thought you were awkward to strangers, look at you, being the mother hen out of blue" He laughed a bit more........ I just wanted to record every moment at this point. I was overwhelmingly happy right now.

I quickly apologized for nagging and he simply shrugged and proceeded to dig up on whatever he had ordered while I still stared at him without sparing a glance at the plate placed in front of me. Judging by the way he was eating, he seemed famished. I giggled at that thought and softly muttered to myself, "You are no stranger to me." He suddenly choked on his food and hastily grabbed the glass and gulped down the contents. He was trying to calm himself down and I was patting his back to make him feel better.

I annoyedly said "Be careful P', while you eat, here dink some more" handing him the glass. He smiled and pushed my hand and said he was fine. We continued to eat our food, with me occasionally looking up and staring at him, still unable to believe that this was all real. After we were done,he rested his elbows on the table and look at me for a while, before saying, "How has it been, so far?" I looked at him in confusion, to which he added "I meant your acting lessons." The words he said made my mouth hang  open. Just as I closed it and opened it again to decline him, he sighed irritatedly and inquired rather angrily, "Why did you walk past me in the library?" That's when realization hit me real hard that I had forgotten to address the situation. He further added, "Did you not recognize me?" He looked away, anger prominent in his eyes.

I was stupified with way he talked to me right now and questions he asked me. I finally gathered the courage and responded, "um..... Sorry about that, I did recognize you, but I had to....... had.... to deal something with my friend there... umm besides... She is a big fan of yours, so I thought she could create a commotion over you so I tried to take her away...." He only hummed in response. I couldn't tell what he was thinking right now. He then looked at me again and opened his mouth to say something but shut it as soon as he opened it. After a few minutes, he said "Okay, let's get you back to your house, its getting late. I have work tomorrow" He was getting up, that's when it struck me that I won't get an opportunity like this again to ask for an autograph.

I quickly grabbed his hand and he turned to me, questioningly. I uttered, "Ummm... P' could I have your autograph.... my friend would like it very much..." I don't know why I was concealing the fact that I was a fan from him too, but something told me that it was better that way. He looked at me for a few seconds and nodded with no hint of gladness in his face. He simple took the notepad from my hand and signed. He closed the notepad and started to walk away. I quickly gathered my belongings and started to follow him.

On the way back, he didn't say anything. The silence was making me more conscious of the surrounding I was trapped in. I tried to break the  awkward silence and said,with twinkling eyes "So, P' how is your new drama shoot going on? I heard a lot of surprises for the fans are being prepared in that drama". He looked into my eye and cracked a small smile after a very long time. He replied with light hearted voice, "It is great, I am having fun, the actress is close friend of mine, so I guess we are well suited for the roles and have a great chemistry too. About the surprises I can't reveal much, even if it's you. I am hoping it would be a success. Make sure to watch me." I was taken aback by the 'even it's you' part but I shrugged the thought and smiled back and said,"Sure."

I didn't even notice we had traveled this long while going. How I wish I could see him everyday like this. It had been the most wonderful day of my life.  He finally pulled off near the library and looked at me, while I was fidgeting with the end of my shirt to come up with something to prolong the meeting, just a little bit more. He seemed perplexed by the fact that I was not making any attempt to get down from his car. He questioned, " Ow nong, what's your name? I totally forgot to ask" I was brimming with happiness when he asked for my name, I quickly waied and said "My name is Kongpob P', Kongpob Suthilak".

To which he replied, "Nice name, Is your home far from here? Want me to drop you off at your dorm?" I rapidly shook my head and said, "It okay P', I can manage from here...It was nice to meet you". I unlocked the door and  got out to the car. He shouted, "Bye, Kongpob" Just when he was about to pull the gear, I turned to him which rather stunned him and said, "About the acting class, I would really like some tips from you.... Do you think you can manage some time for helping me?"
