I'm not lying, this week was complete hell. Why? Because it was finals before our break. Each day P'kun and I were kept by our studying, we still made time for each other and helped each other.
At the end of the day we slept where we sat.
I start to pack my clothes all folded neatly, when I glance over to P'kun he just throws his shorts into the corner of his suitcase. I give myself a face palm.
"Need help there?" I ask with a small laugh.
"Maybe," he smiles back while scratching the back of his head.
I walk over and take out a shirt showing him how to fold, only to find my efforts were wasted since he just stared at me the whole time.
"What," I look him straight in the eye making him shy but he doesn't turn away.
"Nothing,"he smiles, "just wish I had you as a nice wife to food my clothes."
"Ha! Who's a wife? Not me!" I throw the shirt back into his hands.
"Oh?" He wraps his arms around me waist, "please?"
I give it thought.
"No," I say and break from his grip, "now finish packing we're leaving in a bit."
"Fine," he mumbles with a sulking face.
I check my phone to see a message from P'San.
From: San
Headed there in a bit with that friend of P'kuns.
I smile a little, seems like P'tai is trying to make moves. I envy him for it, I wish I had his strength in the beginning.
_______________________________
We finish packing and wait at the front, I can't help but stare at P'kun. He looks really handsome today wearing his half buttoned tropical shirt. His hair combed down as always and his chest showing. I gulp.
He's gotten thin with stress making his cheekbones look really defined. No matter what stress happens it never degraded his looks, only makes him all the more handsome.
I watch his sharp eyes squint as he watches the sky.
A honk sounds in front of us snapping me from my trance.
I look at the van and watch the window roll down. P'tai slides the door open.
"Look at you admiring your husband so intensely," laughs P'San from the drivers seat.
"Hey, Asshole!" I ignore him.
"Wait up!" P'kao runs with his bag strapped at his side. I exchange a look at P'kun and see him smile a little. I feel kind of jealous.
When I get into the seat, P'kun follows behind.
There's a space between us that P'kao notices but I scoot in next to P'kun not giving him the slightest chance. We're stuck in the back next to each other, so close our shoulders touch. P'kun looks at me with soft eyes.
"Can I rest on your shoulder?" He asks.
"Aren't you the bigger one?" I nag still a little irritated by P'kao, "shouldn't I be laying in your shoulder?"
"Really?" His face lights up and he pats his shoulder, "here."
I click my tongue in irritation but I still take his offer. I rest my head on his big shoulder, it's so comfy and warm. The music on the radio is not loud but my mind focuses on it so intently that I fall asleep.
________________________________
I don't wake up smoothly but rather P'San braked so hard to wake me up on purpose so I slid off P'kuns shoulder. His warm hand catches me by my forehead.
"We're here!" P'San tells back to everyone in the back that fell asleep.
Moans and groans go around but we all get out of the van one by one. It feels awkward showing up at Amy's parents resort, but I just hope to have a good time.
P'kun throws his arm over my shoulder and admires the sky. We take a deep breathe of the fresh air.
"What should we start with first the beach?" asks P'San.
"A nap," says P'tai. He throws and arm over P'San, " come with me. Your gonna be my roomie."
"Oh? Why?" He whines.
"No questions," P'tai drags him along and I laugh. If they get together I'm gonna be suprised.
Someone bumps into my shoulder purposely and I turn to see P'kun.
"Let's go to our room," he smiles while looking me up and down. I can't help but have the urge to rush to our room quickly but I contain my lust. Suddenly I feel eyes watching us and look at P'kao.
"What about him?" I raise my brows, "P'San only checked out two rooms."
"Oh," his eyes furrow as he tries to think of a solution, "he can share a room with us."
My heart drops, so much for time alone.
"That's fine I can ask P'San-" P'Kao starts.
"Nonsense there's two beds in one room," P'kun wraps his arms around P'kao, "you can have one and I can share with Karp."
I widen my eyes. I don't know why it's not like we never shared a bed before but it seems different. What about our privacy?
"Let's go" P'kun smiles dragging P'kao with him.
"Oh?" I whine as they walk away, "just leave me here?"
I pout as in bounce the weight of my backpack from my shoulders.
When we reach the room and unpack everyone just slops onto the bed with tired sighs. I drop backwards onto the bed next to P'kun who seems so tired and snuggle up into his arms and he wraps them around me.What's giving him this stress? I wish I can help relieve it. I sigh and fall asleep next to him.
_____________________________
When I wake up I pat the bed next to me but P'kun is not there. I turn my head and glance over to P'kaos bed but he's gone too. I start to get a little uneasy, where could they be?
The door opens and I hear a bunch of bags crinkling.
"Sometimes he talks in his sleep it's really cute," P'kuns voice giggles. I quickly lay back down and pretend to sleep.
"That's funny I really really envy you guys," says P'kao.
"How so?"
"You guys really like each other it's really nice to see," he says.
A hand touches my hair and I try not to move.
"Sometimes I don't believe it myself," says P'kun, "I really like him, my person."
"I think tonight I'll sleep with P'San and P'tai tonight," a laugh, "leave you two alone for today."
My heart skips a beat, me and P'kun alone tonight? I wiggle and stretch as if I'm starting to wake up. When I open my eyes slowly P'kun looks at me with his devilish smile.
"Your up," he smirks , " now you have some energy I hope."
P'kao snorts.
"Asshole," I throw a pillow at him and he laughs, "what time is it now?"
"It's afternoon," says P'kao, "the guys are getting ready we're gonna get lunch."
"Oh alright let me wash my face I'll be ready in a bit," I say.
"Can I help you?" P'kun takes my hand.
"What do you mean?" I ask.
"Come come," he pulls me up slowly to the bathroom.
"I'll go wait with the guys," P'kao makes his way outside and leaves the two of us alone.
I'm a little tired but I'm still confused what P'kuns plan is.
He takes a headband out of his bag and puts it on me.
"Oh what are you doing?" I furrow my brows in confusion.
"I'm going to wash your face," he says turning on the faucet, "don't complain."
And I don't, I watch him pump soap in his hands and rub in circles on my face. He moves slowly and I feel kind of touched. No ones ever done something like this for me before.
He rinses my face and pats it dry with a towel.
"Handsome" he says, making me shy, "let's go."
I ruffle my hair and follow him out the door.
"Oh look the husbands are done," says P'San.
P'tai nudges him with his shoulder.
"Let's eat," says P'kao.

The servers place food infront of us and we dig in. I pass my omelette onto P'kuns plate making him smile a bit. He loves it so much.
"Shit I can't watch anymore!" P'San takes a big gulp of his drink, "this food is too damn spicy."
"I could've told you that," I say.
"My drink is gone," he says looking into his empty cup.
P'tai looks at him with anticipation as I watch him slide his drink over.
"You can have mine," he says. For a brief moment I watch P'Sans look, and I can tell there is some feeling there.
He grabs it and takes small sips from the straw as if he's savoring a treat.
"So what's the plan for the rest of the day?" P'tai looks at each of us as if we planned the whole thing, we all then look at P'San.
"Well," he says, "there's this boat ride we can go to, and also walk through the small food stalls."
"Sounds good to me," says P'kun.
"Me too," I agree too and we all continue to eat.
P'kun looks to me with a smile.
"Can youuu feed me?" He becomes shy.
"Big baby," I roll my eyes but inside my hearts beating like crazy. I scoop up a piece of his omelette and lift it to his mouth.
"P'karp?" I turn to find out who's voice it is and I see Amy. Suddenly I remember this is her resort. She has and older woman at her side dress in formal wear, and I remember, her mother. I set the fork down.
"Hey Amy, long time no see," my hands rub my thighs nervously.
She crosses her arms with the look of hidden destruction and I know I'm about to get an earful.

Bonus story!!!
I wake up from my small nap and notice my arm has fallen asleep. I see Karp snuggled nicely on it, I'd love to stay here and let him continue sleeping on it but it hurts to much so I slide it out from under him.
"Your awake?" Kao looks up from his phone.
"Mmm," I answer.
"Wanna go get some groceries real quick," he raises an eyebrow as if he's hinting at something.
"Sure," I think I know what this is about.
After we buy some toiletries we head back side by side.
"So have you found anymore info?" I ask.
"I saw him," he says, " he was talking to the bell hop as we walked in."
"He's either working alone or under someone here," I try to put things together, "but who?"
"I'm not sure but the person paying him must be wealthy considering they are kept under wraps very good," he says.
As we enter a older women dressed formally passes by us. She must be the owner.
"Oh? Are you guys guests," she says calmly, I get a bad aura from her.
"Yes mam," Kao answers.
She looks me head to toe, do I look familiar to her?
"That nice," she smiles, "enjoy your guys stay if you need anything we'll help you."
"Thanks," I say as I watch her eyes narrow at me slightly.
We climb into the elevator.
"She's nice no wonder people like this resort," says Kao, "the service here is great."
I just nod.
Kao struggles to open our door, "I bet Karp is a heavy sleeper."
"Yeah," I laugh my mind is completely filled with him now, "sometimes he talks in his sleep it's really cute."
