Arthit's POV

"Thanks for driving me today. I really appreciate it."

"You are welcome Mr. Ronajpat."

"Arthit. Please just call me Arthit."

"Very well, Arthit. I will be around. Let me know if you need any further assistance. I will go report to Mr. Suthilak now."

I nod to Thak, and my eyes follows where he is going. I'm curious where the other man is anyway.

I see Thak walk all the way to the back of the house, and goes outside by the pool.

He talks and nods to the pool. So, I guess Kongpob is outside in the pool then. I want to go thank him for everything, and I also have to ask if I can stay tonight, and possibly tomorrow night too. This is so embarrassing, but I don't really have a choice unless I want to camp out in the streets.

So, I slowly approach, and walk through the glass door. As I get closer, Thak nods to me, and I return the gesture. I turn to look in the pool. Kongpob is swimming laps making his way towards the other end of the pool gracefully, and flips back towards me. As he reaches my end, he emerges out of the pool with water dripping all over him.

Thak cleared his throat, and that got me out of my trance. Thak hands him a towel, and he takes it drying off his hair. I can't help but stare at the near naked man again.

From long pants yesterday to barely pants today. At this rate there will be no pants tomorrow.

"Hey Arthit! So Thak tells me your phone is unsalvageable. I'm sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do for you?"

I'm so distracted by his near nakedness that it took me a moment to register what he was saying.

"Oh, uhm. I...uh..yeah, phone dead."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Ugh, yeah my phone is unfixable."

"Well, you can just keep the one Thak gave you if you want."

"That's too generous of you. I can't keep it. It's a brand new phone too. I will give it back on Monday after I get a replacement."

"Well, that is completely up to you."

"Thank you. This is more than I could have hoped for."

"It's no big deal. Really."

"Ehm, I actually want to ask you about something? Would it be possible for me to stay the weekend? I will be out of your hair by Monday. I swear."

"Uh, sure. That's not a problem, but can you make me breakfast again tomorrow?"

Is he giving me puppy eyes?

"Of course I can. I can make anything you want."

"Deal. Do you want to join me for pizza tonight? That is if you don't have plans already."

"Sure. Pizza sounds good."

"Great! Thak likes pepperoni, and I like sausage. What about you?"

"Thak?"

I look to Thak a little confused, and back at Kongpob.

"Yeah, Thak and I are going to catch the soccer match over pizza. Now that you will join, there will be three of us. The more the merrier."

"Oh, yeah. The more the merrier."

"So what kind of pizza do you want?"

"Umm, I like sausage too."

"Perfect. Thak, make sure we have enough beer. Some wings too."

Thak: Yes sir. I will go prepare.

Kongpob: Thank you, Thak.

Thak nods, and leaves the two of us.

"Well, I'm going to swim a few more laps, and then hit the shower. Do you want to join me?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want to join me for a swim?"

"Oh, no thanks. I'm not real good at swimming. I think I will go back to my room."

"Alright then. I'll see you later."

Kongpob turned around, and just went back to swimming.

I quickly turned to head to my room. Oh my God, for a second I thought he was inviting me to join him for a shower. I seriously need to keep my head out of the gutter. The man has been nothing, but nice to me, yet here I am eye fucking him. Damn it. I haven't even been single for more than 48 hours yet.

You know what, I think I should take a shower too. A long one at that.

After coming out of my shower, I decided to go through my stuff again to see what I really have.

I am so screwed. That asshole pretty much just dumped my 'holidays' tote in these suitcases, and packed my first drawer. I have no work clothes or regular socks. And who the hell packs a basketball? Popeye's chew toys? What a moron.
