Kongpob is getting ready for his dinner date. He decided on a simple blue suit since Arthit said he didn't want him to wear gray. Apparently, he looked too handsome in gray, that's Arthit's words, not his. So, that eliminated a third of his wardrobe for tonight. Kongpob really didn't care about what he was going to wear until Arthit kept suggesting he go change. Kongpob figured that he would just do it if it would make Arthit feel better about tonight.
Kongpob can sense Arthit is still nervous about his date. He's been very jumpy all day. He even burnt the French toast he was making this morning. Sighing to himself, he just hopes tonight will be over with soon.
The address Kongpob received from the Red Cross organization for him to pickup Mild for dinner looked familiar, but he didn't pay too much attention on it. Kongpob promised Arthit that he will take Thak tonight, and not drive on his own.
Kongpob came out to the living room, and found Arthit sleeping on the sofa with Popeye laying next to him. Kongpob walked over, and covered Arthit with a blanket, and then pecked him on his cheek. Arthit instantly woke up, and wrapped his arms around Kongpob's neck.
"You're really going to go?" Arthit asked softly.
"I'll be back before you know it." Kongpob kissed Arthit on the lips before he made his way out the door.
Kongpob gave Thak the address, and along the way, he had stopped by a flower shop to pick up a bouquet of assorted flowers. It's what he does every time he went on one of these dates. He actually saw Mild's favorite calla lilies at the flower shop, but he didn't get them. He is just here to follow through with his agreement. He doesn't want to give Mild any wrong ideas.
Kongpob was checking his emails when Thak informed him of their arrival. He looked out the window, and he was surprised to find himself in front of Mild's old house. No wonder the address looked familiar. From what he knows, Mild's old house was sold years ago. How did she end up living here again? He thought to himself. He got out of the car, and walked towards the front entrance.
He curiously looked up to the window that he had once climbed through, and it was no longer broken. His feet grew heavier with each step he took. The latch to the front gate is still broken like it was before. All he had to do was lift the gate up by an inch, and push it in. He remembers telling Mild that her family needed to get that fixed many times.
The grass in the front yard is overgrown, and there's several wild sunflowers taller than him in the yard. He has finally reached the front door steps. Kongpob raised his hand to knock on the door, but then hesitated. It wasn't going to be as easy as he thought it would be. He took a deep breath, and schooled his emotions before finally knocking the door.
Kongpob heard noises from inside the house.
"No, you have to go to bed by 9!" Mild yelled as she opened the door.
Kongpob looked at Mild bewildered, and for a moment he was speechless.
"Kongpob, hi. Uh, can you give me a minute? Just come in." Mild said without really waiting for Kongpob to respond. She just grabbed him by the wrist, and pulled him inside the house.
"Uh, I can wait in the car." Kongpob was ready to just walk back out.
"No. I'll be real quick." Mild ran to the back of the house where the kitchen was.
Kongpob stood there without moving another inch further. Looking around from where he stood, there's a few more pieces of furniture than the last time he was here. It was mostly still bare. So he concluded that Mild has just recently returned to this home.
"Sorry, to keep you waiting." Mild came half running. She was wearing a simple black dress with a long oversized denim shirt on top. It's not exactly what people would wear to Attitude.
