A FAN [Completed]

Chapter 9

Arthit POV

He just left. Just passed by me without sparing a glance at me, with her. I was rooted at the spot, unable to think rationally or understand what was this pain I felt. I slowly made my way out to my car, still pondering, no, over thinking the situation. Questions like, what if he thought I was a creep? What if he was angry that I didn't show up at the right time?Was he unimpressed? Was he.....worried that that the girl.....might mistake...?crossed my mind. Arghhh! I hate being ignored. I hate being neglected. Why did he behave like that, leaving me hanging?

I so wanted to find him and apologize if I had creeped him out. But I didn't even know his name. Who was he? Where does he live? What does the girl have to do with him? Wait a minute Arthit, why are you fussing over the girl? Confused, I was just staring at the space, trying to fix the puzzle which seemed to be the biggest hindrance of my life right now. Just then I heard loud bang on the window. I snapped my head towards the window,only to find him staring back at me. Without giving it a second thought I quickly opened the door.

I couldn't help but stare at his face which was so attractive. I was tracing his facial features with my piercing gaze. Again, without giving any thought about the consequences, I simply uttered, "Up for a coffee, still?" That's when my inner soul snapped. Fuck it. I literally dragged him into my car and drove away. Since I wanted to.......wanted to...... wanted... I... Don't know what I wanted to do with him, but whatever. I drove as far as possible, away from the library. The silence was killing me while driving. The usual loud me had disappeared, I wanted to think and plan what I was going to do with him once we go wherever I was driving to.

I constantly felt a stare on my side. Was he looking at me? No, why would he? It must be my illusion. I finally pulled off at the most isolated Cafe where I often visit for some time for myself. I then looked at him and gestured him to go in while I park. But he just blankly stared back at me. I couldn't resist myself from having a closer a look at his face. He had thick eyebrows, dark eyes and plumpy rosy lips. Cute features but manly vibe. I felt myself drawn to him. I don't know what had gotten into me, but I drew my face closer to his, wanting to explore more. Just then, I realized the state we were in, I quickly diverted the topic and asked him to get down the car. He seemed stunned yet spontaneously got off the car and ran into the Cafe.

I chuckled to myself and followed him. He sat in the secluded corner of the Cafe. The Cafe didn't have much people, so I guess I am safe here. I wanted to strike up a conversation so badly. So for buying some time to come up with something reasonable and polite to talk about before getting to the main point of my annoyance, I called the waitress to order. Since he seemed to be spacing out often, I simply ordered my favorites. After ordering, I looked at him for a while, before asking how he was doing. To which he simply said he was fine and asked how I was. And when I stated that I was tired he started to nag me for wasting my time with him.

I laughed a bit before saying that I thought he was awkward with strangers. But little did he know that I was feeling more at peace over here.While I was digging in my food, I heard him softly mutter, "You are no stranger to me". I was taken aback. What did he mean? I stopped chewing midway and tried  to gulp whatever was in my mouth to ask what he meant by that and that's why I choked. In the end I was seen red due to the coughing with him trying to calm me down. He annoyedly nagged me again for not being careful while eating.

After we were done eating, I finally made it a point in my mind to ask away straight and stop over thinking. I wanted to know why he left me like that right away. But I thought it would be outta blue so I stuck to the only option for striking up a conversation, 'the acting sessions'. So I asked him how it went. But since he seemed to be never coming up 'THE' answer. I just interrupted him, "Why did you leave past me?" Judging from his expression, he looked shocked and sorry, for not addressing his mistake? He then told me why he walked past me. The answer he gave me seemed acceptable except for the 'something to deal with my friend' part. And mind you, I also wanted to know who that girl was but I seemed to prying too much already so I decided on leaving and thinking of a way to meet him again.... Why again though? I don't know. That's that.

But just when I got up to leave, he grabbed my hand to ask for an autograph.... Not because he wanted it, but because his friend would love it. I couldn't explain the unpleasant feeling that I felt but ultimately I did sign and started to walk away. He followed me and we started off to the library. On the way back he threw questions about my drama. He seemed excited with all the details I gave him. Since I didn't want to drop him off so soon, I took wrong roads and prolonged the drive. Once we reached, he just looked at me and  somewhat he looked tense. I didn't want him to go just yet.

The sudden realization hit me that I hadn't asked his name. His name is Kongpob. Should I have asked for his phone number? Scared that he would say no, I didn't ask. Seeing that he was not moving an inch, I asked him if he wanted me to drop him off at his dorm to which he shook his head so hard that he could have broken the bones in there. He then unlocked the door, and started to get down. I was internally screaming, "Please don't go or atleast leave a hint for 'a' next time.." but since he didn't seem to have the same idea as me,I just disappointedly said Bye and started to take off. But suddenly he turned to me 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?"

The last sentence he uttered was a big fat lie. BUT it was a hope for not only 'a' next time but also a bunch of next times. I didn't know how to react nor did I want to  ponder over the fact that he was lying... So I just reflexly said the next thing that came to my mind,"Sure, why not?"
