FALLIN' ALL IN YOU (Completed)

Chapter 26

Monday - Tokyo

Arthit's POV

Tokyo brings back a lot of memories. Terrible memories that is. The last time I was here was three years ago with Chet. The trip was bad from the get go. After we checked-in, and we went to the lounge. I took a nap because we had booked a red-eye flight to save money, and we still had plenty of time. Chet was supposed to keep watch, but he was too busy playing on his phone that we missed our boarding call. We ended up paying for another ticket to get there. So much for saving. On top of that, our luggage had flown without us. So, we spent the whole first day at the airport just trying to track our luggage.

Our intentions were to see true Sakura trees bloom. We thought we had timed it right, but when we got here, it turned out that that winter was too long, and the Sakura hadn't bloomed yet. I was so disappointed. Another thing that we didn't plan for was how cold it was. We had checked the weather before going, but we figured it was spring, and the flowers were blooming. It couldn't possibly be that cold. Being in Bangkok for so long, I didn't know what is truly cold. Apparently, 17 Celsius was freezing to us.

I tried to tough it out wearing as many layers as possible, but Chet ran out, and bought himself a Burberry Blue Label jacket that's only available in Japan. He kept saying that he can wear it all the time, and make good use of it. I have to say, he did look good in it. So, I gave in and agreed that he buy it with our spending money. We ended up eating mostly fast and cheap food for the rest of the trip. So much for having the best sushi. To make it worse, I got sick from the cold, and slept through two days of our one week trip. And that damn jacket never lasted for more than one season because according to Chet, it was out of style. He did sell it, but I never saw that money.

I hope this trip will be better than my last. By the time I reached the hotel, it was already 11pm. I have a 9am meeting tomorrow, so I needed to get some rest. Although my headache is better now, it's mildly drumming away. I looked at the clock on the nightstand, and it's already 1am. I wondered if Kongpob had dinner tonight. Is he asleep yet? Why couldn't I have remembered to bring my other phone or added him on LINE? My current phone can't even make calls since I've switched to a Japanese sim card that's just for data.

Damn it Arthit! Go to sleep. Stop thinking about him. He will be fine without you. Why do I miss him so much? I've only known him for a couple of weeks. You have a meeting tomorrow. Go to sleep. I turned to sleep on my side, and pulled the covers over my head.

Oh my God! FUCK! That's why I was sleeping on top of him. Oh my God! Oh my God! How did this happen? I even asked him to flirt with me. And I kissed him. I kissed him! How can I kiss him like that? Wait, did he kiss me back? Of course not. Why would he? Maybe he just passed out on me. This is so embarrassing. How can I face him now? I took advantage of him. He will never want to speak to me again. Me and my stupid crush. I've ruined everything now.

I tossed and turned in panic for the rest of the night. Replaying everything that I remembered from that night. I never would have thought that I would regret so much for finally kissing Kongpob. What should I do now?

I know. I should try to make it back on Friday before he gets off of work, and pack all my things and leave. I should leave him a thank-you note and a gift. I don't think he will want to see me anyway. He would either be angry with me, or it would be too awkward for us to see each other. This is probably for the best.

Tuesday - Tokyo

I got to Mitsubishi Estate's way too early for the meeting, but that's mostly because I didn't even go to sleep last night. The first day of the meeting was more of an introduction to the project. Many of our company's competitors were also there. So, I had to be on best behavior, and represent. It was so hard to stay awake the whole time, as it was first presented in Japanese, and then translated in English. Our company hired a Thai translator for me. So, despite only understanding it in one language, I had to sit there to listen to the same presentation three times. The only thing that really kept me awake was the rerunning images of me kissing Kongpob. I still can't recall his reaction, but I guess he didn't punch me. Maybe he was too drunk to punch me. Aish!
