Strawberries & Cigarettes

Chapter 6

"Max stop, we are outside" Tul tried to hide his smile as he pushed his boyfriend.

"I can't help it, today you look very cute" Max replied giving him a quick kiss on the cheek.

"Really, Max stop now"

"Come on honey what is wrong with you today?"

"It's hard to be in the mood when Kimmon seems to be murdering us with his eyes"

The couple looked in the direction of Kimmon, who was indeed looking at them in annoyance.

"Is it necessary to act so loving in college?" Kimmon snorted "Not at all pleasing to the eye"

"Wow, you're really in a bad mood" Max smiled "We always act like this and you have never complained before"

"Is that because usually he is always glued to his mobile phone talking to a girl" Tul mentioned "What's wrong? Is there nobody that is of interest to you?"

"It's not that" Kimmon shook his head "Last night I went out with Nong Fai"

"Nong Fai? The star of Economics?"

"Yep, she"

"Oh man! you are so lucky Kim, that girl is a beauty" Tul said ignoring Max's annoyed look.

"I'm still here" Max complained.

"I mean that she is pretty for Kim" Tul defended himself "But going back to the topic, how did it go with her, everyone says that she's pretty hard to please"

"Hard?" Kimmon laughed "She was willing to do anything with me"

"It sounds like a memorable night"

"Of course, no girl resists my charms." Kimmon said arrogantly.

"So… why are you in a bad mood?" Max asked, making Kimmon's smile drop.

"Really, what happened?" Tul asked too.

Kimmon rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly, hoping he would never have to recall such an episode again.

"Well ... what happened was ..."

Flashback

"P'Kim you are so funny" The beautiful girl laughed.

"And you are very pretty" Kimmon said adjusting a strand of Fai's hair. "Do you want another drink?"

"P'Kim, are you trying to get me drunk?"

"No way, I just want to celebrate, being here with you seems like a dream" Kimmon said touching his hand.

If Kimmon's calculations were accurate, that empty phrase, laden with false romanticism, would be enough to make that girl falls to his feet. Kimmon knew it, he was an expert in the matter.

"P'Kim, I don't want to drink anymore but ..." Fai said shyly "Would you like to accompany me to my room?"
