All That Matters To Him (A Kengkla and Techno Fanfic)

CHAPTER Two

A/N: Hi! I'm sorry for the late update. I've been busy these past few days because of work and this Christmas party performance thing. Hahaha! Anyway, since I'm free again, here's the update. I want to compromise with the slow update so I made this chapter longer than the usual. (ㆁωㆁ*)

~o~

Kengkla's POV

"Who are you?!"

Exclaimed by the guy that I just bumped in. We are now both in the floor taking our time from the pain of the fall earlier. 

I thought no one's gonna be in here at this time?

"Are you a thief? Seriously, what's good about the things here in my room? Nothing costs much," that, I know for sure. 

He keeps on blabbing around things. About how unfortunate I am to got in his room first. That I should've gone to his parents' room because they are the one who's giving him allowance and so on. I just want to keep my mouth shut. What's up with this guy? He's noisy. I don't like it.

Recovered from the fall, we both stand at the same time, standing face to face with the taller guy. I never feel intimidated with my height because I know for a fact that I am tall. Not until now.

He maybe seeing the face I am making 'cause he just started to laugh. 

"I'm just kidding. I kinda know who you are. He texted me earlier. You're Technic's friend, right?" So, he know me.

"Yes, I'm Kengkla ah... P'?" I think I already know who is this person.

"Ah yes, I'm a P'. Call me P'Techno, Nic's older brother," he bowed and wai'd at me.

"Ah, Sawadee khrap P' Techno", I did the same thing. I can see how his small smile form into a big one. His eyes are missing because he's smiling ear to ear. Fake.

"Wow, Nong'Kengla, you're so polite!" He exclaimed, putting his right hand on my hair starting to ruffle it.

Uhm, okay. So what is that for?

"How I wish Technic's like you. You see, Nic's kinda rude to his P'." He said it while pouting.

"Ah, no P'Techno. I actually know you because Ai'Nic often tell stories about how caring you are--", and gullible, "--he also said that you are very nice with everyone," and that makes you stupid. I want to add that but I'm not in position to say it.  Ugh, Nic you owe me with this one.

"Haha! I don't know if I can believe that, I know Nic", so he's aware about Nic. "By the way, are you looking for something?"

"Yes, P'. I thought it's Ai'Nic's room that's why I entered. Sorry."

"Nong'Kla, it's okay. Don't worry about it. It's your first time in our house right? So I understand. By the way, Nic's room is on the opposite side." He directed me to Nic's room and opened the door for me. As soon as I lay my eyes inside the room, I immediately caught the sight of the white folder I've been looking for.

"Thank you P'Techno," I said while smiling.

"No worries, Nong. Somehow I feel comfortable with you. Ah! Do you want to join me for a snack? I brought something from the university, it's not that fancy but I want it to eat it with you," I didn't notice it earlier but he raised a plastic bag which I think contains the food he bought.

"Ah, it's okay P', i'm not really hungry. Besides, I have to leave now, Ai'Nic's been waiting for me". I really want to leave now. I can't stand his face, looking at me happily. Somehow, I feel the urge to do the same thing. And I know, it's going to be tiring.

You know, I'm use on faking my smile. Looking nice with everyone even if I'm not. It's my expertise. With all those gatherings and parties that I attended because of my family's business, I was taught to be presentable and to be well-mannered. They are all fond of me because of that. Well, I think Technic's an exemption. We are both cunning so we don't really have to pretend in front of each other.

But now's not the case. It seems like I may not be able to compete with the slyness of this person in front of me. How can be a person be this nice and jolly? It's too good to be true. If I'll try to compete with him, I'll lose. For now, I'll just go with the flow.

"Nong'Kla, let's eat it together nah. I'm all alone in this house and I'm not use of eating alone. I thought Nic's gonna be early that's why I bought it. Eat with me na ah?" With the pleading look on his face, somehow it's hard to say no. Ahhh, This guy is better than me.

I was about to protest but I was startled when he reach for my wrist, grabbing me to the staircase.

I feel uncomfortable.

~o~

"Eat well, Nong'Kla."

Why am I here? I don't even know why. After dragging me to their dining table downstairs he never leaves me alone. He keeps on asking things; how I met his brother, how's school, my family etc. He even asked if I have a girlfriend. Annoying.

"How about you P'?" I asked back. Atleast, I need to keep the conversation going, right?

"How about me? Girlfriend, you ask? Nah. Hahahaha, no one's ever gonna make a mistake dating me," he said casually. Liar. He's such a sweet talker and girls like that. Besides, he's appearance is not bad.  He's already good looking especially when he smiles.

"Eh, I don't believe you P', you're good looking. You sure have girls swarming around you."

"Hahahaha! You're funny Nong'Kla. Good looking you say? However, there's a lot of men who's way more good looking than me. And that includes you." He said, pointing at me.

"Ah--," that left me speechless. How can he play with his words? There's something about him that makes me feel uneasy.

"Your food, Nong'Kla. Eat it while it's still warm."

~o~

"Thank you for the food P'Techno, and also for accommodating me," I said looking at him. We are now in front of their house and currently bidding my goodbye. It took me an hour to convince him that I really should go now. I even showed to him the messages of Nic asking about his errand to me.

"You're always welcome Nong'Kla. And, please you can just call me P'No. That's how everybody's calling me. Oh, you want a ride to school? I have my bike," he's really a talker.

"No, it's okay P'No. I have a ride with me," I said looking at the car, two meters away from me.

"So that's your car? I was wondering about the owner of that car earlier. Anyway, take care on your way to school Nong'Kla," he spoke to me with the sweetest smile I have ever seen. I was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, P'No. Thank you," I wai'd at him.

"For Technic's friend, I really like you, Kla."

The discomfort of my heart lingers until my ride back in school. And I hate it.
