Skip a Beat

Chapter 04 - Hi There

"I'm sorry." Still looking and playing the sand in front of him. The guy is already sitting beside him but still keeping some distance.

"What for?"

"I thought you're a bad person." Still not looking at him. "That you only want to get close..."

"Who said that?" Cutting him.

He looked at him and finally realize that he's looking at him. More like staring. And there goes his heart beating faster than before. Immediately get back looking at the sand to ease his feelings.

Newwiee's eyes may be looking downwards but his mind is a mess. He's ashamed with all his speculations about the guy's purpose. It might be just a coincidence.

"Still, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing those words from the guy makes him happy at some point. He's not a sadist. He finds it interesting how simple minded the guy is. It's a good thing that he didn't look at him because he himself is admiring the beauty in beside him. Rattled by his questions.

"I forgive you." Tay smiled and didn't leave his eyes on the guy who's still not looking at him. "But I didn't know you're that kind of person." Trying to make him look at him. but failed.

Tay waited for his response. But still didn't get any. He faced the guy and leaned on the sand using his left hand to support his body. "Are you that kind of person?" Tricking him with his question.

The guy frowned as if he's thinking hard. Then finally gets to face him.

Finally! Rejoicing in silent.

"What kind?" The guy asks him. Confirming if they have the same what's on their mind.

"Well... you're too naïve and simple minded." Stating his observation.

"Well..." copying him. "I'm sorry for being naïve and simple minded because that's what I am." The sarcasm is on point. That's definitely for him.

"I'm Tay. Tawan Vihokratana." Tay offers his right hand for a shake.

"Newwiee. Thitipoom Techaapaikhun." With a slight smile, he grabbed his offered hand for a shake. But as soon as the contact has made, he gets to feel the tingling inside. Staring at their hands still intact, Tay is already at his own world processing the sudden jolts of feeling he's having.

He can clearly see the face of his beach boy. He really has whiter skin for a guy. And with the help of light from the moon, it makes it even glow more. Is this Newwiee guy even a human or ghost?

He'll believe if New will confess that he's a ghost. But he's not gonna run away. That's not gonna happen. He'll stay beside him because he's the only one who can see him.

Newwiee can finally name the guy. He's Tay. Currently, they're shaking hands. But that's not important at the moment. What keeps bugging him is Tay's stare. The guy seems to have no plan of letting his hand go.

He felt as his cheeks starts to get hot. He's sure that he's blushing at the moment. Those who knows him gets to comment how his cheeks blushed even without him knowing.

He silently coughs to get Tay's attention and release his hand. Which he did but didn't took his eyes from him. This time he gets the opportunity to look at the sea in front of them.

"Can I ask you something?" Tay ask him.

He nods.

"You're a millionaire." It's not even a question but like a stating a fact. He shakes his head as no.

"No. Why?" He's curious about the sudden statement.

"You have the biggest room in the hotel. I plan to occupy that room during my stay but they told me it's not available." Tay explained. Now also looking at the sea. There's not even a hint of boastfulness. More like there's a hint of silliness from his voice.

"That room is not for the guest."

"Are you saying you bought it?" Amazement in the guy's reaction.

Newwiee frowned. How can Tay think of such things about him?

"No! I designed the hotel." Newwiee finally face Tay and it shocks him knowing that he is also looking at him. He's handsome. Complementing him inside his head.

"So, because you designed the hotel, they gave you a room for yourself." Stating his conclusion and even his body is facing him already.

New copied Tay and now they are face to face with each other. To have a proper access to each other's reaction. But he's more focus on Tay's face without him knowing.

He shakes his head from right to left to get rid of thoughts. He noticed Tay tilted his head with a questioning look. He just smiled and answer Tay.

"I'm the resort owner's only son." There's no need to hide it anymore. One way or another, he'll know who he is especially when Tay is going to stay at the resort of few days. And having this conversation seems like it's just the first and there's more.

Tay is looking at Newwiee in totally different level. Owner's son. Hotel designer. Owner of the biggest room of the hotel. What's more he'll discover about him. He is very much having the time to discover everything about the guy in front of him.

The thought of it makes Tay smile.
