Singto POV

I saw the clock in the car showed its ten o'clock already, Krist was supposed to be asleep now, but I wanted to see him. After taking Dad back to the hotel and chatting for a while in the coffee shop accompanied by a cup of coffee, I decided to call a taxi online and ask the driver to take me to Krist's apartment.

I'm grateful to have met Dad tonight, he looked happy when we had dinner at the restaurant. The restaurant I actually ordered for Krist and me for dinner. Although there were events that made us both feel awkward, but luckily everything was resolved. I smiled to myself remembering the incident a few hours ago.

Flash back on

We entered the restaurant together and were immediately escorted by the waiter to the table I had ordered. A table near the park and an artificial fountain with a pond filled with colorful fish swam here and there. The restaurant was quite crowded and all the tables were almost filled.

"Wow ... I've read coverage about this restaurant in a Thai culinary magazine some time ago and this place is very crowded! We get a seat as soon as we enter it is a miracle isn't it?!" Father stared at the restaurant's interior in amazement.

He watched all over the restaurant and clearly admired what he saw.

"Actually... I made a reservation beforehand Pho. That's why we can immediately get a table!" I explained,

"You ordered this place?" He asked confused, "But I just invited you this evening for dinner..."

I didn't answer right away because I was confused about how to explain to him that Krist and I ordered this place because I wanted to take him to a semi-romantic dinner. But the look on my father's face glowed with understanding.

"Ah... You ordered it for dinner with Krist?" Pho asked with an understanding face,

"Uh ... Yes ... We have been wanting to try this place for a long time!"

"Ah, his taste is really good... I like the choice. I read in a magazine, they recommend Thai Curry for their favorite food here!"

"I already ordered for us... Take it easy!"

A few moments later the waiter reappeared carrying several plates of food and arranging them on the table. Salmon steak with Thai special curry and Seafood Laksa which is Krist's choice of food. Thai Beef Salad and Steamed Carp are my food choices.

I can't eat seafood but Krist loved it so we chose a different menu. Luckily my dad also really likes seafood which is why Krist said he would like the food here.

"Try it Pho ... The food is Krist's choice. Pho tastes similar to him so surely Pho will also likes this..."

"I've been wanting to eat a really delicious laksa!" He said as he reached for the cutlery in front of him, looking impatient to taste the food that was served,

"Let's eat Pho..." I said, smiling.

When we were busy eating, suddenly the waiter came with a tray with a rose on it. Seeing that, I choked until I coughed, made Pho startled and handed me a glass of drinking water.

"Good evening... This flower is ordered for this table!" said the waitress while handing a rose to us, but she was confused about having to give it to me or to Pho.

Because I was still trying to recover from my surprise and food choking events, I motioned for him to give it to my father.

As soon as the waiter left, my father asked me in a serious tone, "Did you order roses for Krist?"

I really forgot about this. I want to bang my head on the table but unfortunately Pho is still looking at me with a confuse look.

Yesterday when I made the reservation I did order a rose for Krist.

My plan was for the rose to come out when we were almost finished eating and he would smile shyly when he received the flower. I really like seeing him blush. And I forgot to cancel it when we entered this restaurant.

I glanced at Pho who was still staring at me from across the table, "Singto ... Pho asked you ... Did you order roses for Krist?"

"Uhm ... That ... Yes Pho ..." then I added, "I only did it to tease him Pho!"

The man in front of me was stunned and thought for a moment, then put the rose in his hand back on the table, next to his plate.

Before he took the food back into his mouth, he said, "In my opinion, sunflowers are more suitable for Krist!"

I was surprised at Pho's response, but I was not interested in discussing this matter further. Frankly I'm not ready to face Pho questions about my relationship with Krist. All he knows is that Krist and I are very close in the context of work and we are now close friends.

Maybe next time I should invite him to meet Pho and formally introduce him.

Flashback off

I opened the door to his condo slowly. The room was dark, only the bathroom light was on and even the door was only half opened.

I sneak into Krist's apartment. Actually this is the first time I've used the duplicate key that Krist gave me since we were officially dating.

Especially when he was fast asleep, if he woke up he might be surprised and thought I was a thief who broke into his room?

I take off my shoes and socks and store them near the entrance. Take off the jacket I wore and put it on the living room couch, then enter the bedroom area and see Krist's body wrapped in a blanket in the middle of a large bed. He looked peaceful and undisturbed, even as I lay on the bed next to him.

I stroked his face and watched it only with the help of the moonlight that shone in through the open window. Sleep disturbed, he twitched and then raised his hands to rub his eyes. When his eyes are open, he just blinks his eyes, maybe not believe because he saw me there.

"P'Sing ... when did you come? I didn't hear you come in!" He said in a sleepy voice,

"Just now ... I don't want to sleep alone, so I'm here!" I replied, kissing her lips furiously,

"Uhm ... Do you want to go to sleep right away?"

"I'm going to the bathroom for a minute. Sleep again!" I said, fixing the blanket.

I left Krist for a moment to wash my face and brush my teeth before removing the shirt and pants that I wore and entered Krist's blanket with only my underwear. I grabbed Krist's body from behind and we fell asleep in a spooning position.
