Please be my mommy

chapter 13

Arthit pov

I received call from p'knott saying that the stagnated waters are already cleared and the place is out of danger. I still haven't told kongpob. I'm here sitting in the room which is alloted to me this one and a half month.

I can't help this emptiness that takes over when realising the fact that i should leave oneday. staying with Nine is practically impossible. He has his father who loves him to the core, who am i to interfere in their relationship.

"Hey baby boy" i ran my fingers over the little one's hair, who is playing with legos. All my confidence shattered to pieces just by looking at this boy's figure. How am i gonna tell him, i will not be there with him all time like i was.

Kongpob wouldn't care anyway. I'll tell him first and regain some of my courage back to reveal the truth to this little mister.

"Hello" i knocked kongpob's room door.

"Come in Arthit" he yelled.

"What's with the gloomy mood" he asked repairing one of Nine's robot.

"P'knott said my flàt is out of danger, from flood and the pandemic" i waited for no second.

"Oh" he nodded. "Sss owww" he accidentally cut his finger with the blade talking to me, not concentrating on the tools that were spread on the floor.

"Give your hand to me" i cleaned the cut and wrapped a band aid. "Pay more attention" i scolded shaking my head. "All grown up but still a baby"

He stared at my face and said "yes, i should pay more attention"

"Have you told Nine" kongpob asked rearranging his tools on the box.

"No, i will leave tomorrow morning. I don't want to ruin our last night together" i smiled.

"Oh okay" he scratched his temple. "Time for his bed time" I'm not sure if I'm imagining stuff or kongpob looks really upset after telling him I'll be leaving soon. Whatever, I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

I went to kongpob and Nine's room to bid my good night, probably for the last time. While i sat next to Nine's pillow and kissed the latter's forehead.

"I don't mind if you want to sleep with Nine today" kongpob said.

"Are you sure?"

"Yahh" he nodded.

"You want to sleep with me baby boy?" i asked Nine, he rubbed his eyes and nodded sleepily. I picked him to my room and placed his head on the crook of my elbow pressing his head to my chest.

"Angel" he called in his soft voice.

"Yes mister" i responded immediately stroking his back.

"Please tell me a ss-sstowy" he asked.

"Sure" i started. "There were two deers living happily with their only fawn"

He hummed. "One day, the king  of the jungle hunted the family down for it's meal" Nine gasped "but the mother deer somehow fought back with them and helped the fawn to escape from the lions"

"The baby deer roamed all over the forest without knowing where to go and ended up in a pack, where so many lonely animals were gathered in the same place to help each other" Nine was struggling hard to keep his eyes open so i continued the story.

"The fawn faced many challenges growing up with almost no proper facilities. however, he finally stood as the strongest among all the others in the pack. When he was let out to stay independent, he promised to always help the pack that provided roof above his head and food on his plate all these years" Nine snored softly. 'Awwwwwww' i kissed his forehead a multiple times and closed my eyes, a tear slipped. possibly trying to sleep away the sadness.

"Arthit, Arthit someone is here for you" kongpob picked Nine who is sleeping on top of me and patted my hand which was wrapped around Nine.

"Who? P'knott?" I blinked. Kongpob nodded.

"Oh no" i rushed into the bathroom, showered and brushed my teeth in few minutes. Nine is still sleeping on the bed.

"Kongpob, how do i look?" I asked styling my hair with my fingers.

He stared for few seconds without any response then whispered "beautiful" i have no idea why he's behaving so strange today. Is he upset because I'm leaving? But, he does look unaffected too.

Without wasting any more time, i rushed to the living room where p'knott was waiting. "Swasdee khrup phi" i greeted him clasping my hands.

"Swadee nong" he smiled at me.

"You had something? Can i bring you a coffee?"

"No N'Arthit, that's alright. Shall we leave?" My heart started beating faster. I can't just leave when Nine is sleeping. That'll be so fucked up.

"Please stay for breakfast" kong came rubbing both of his palms and took the single couch.

"Yes p'knott, by the time Nine will be awake" p'knott agreed without refusing.

"I can't believe he really came to pick me" me and kongpob were making sandwiches and tomato soup. "Last time we spoke you said you don't have a boyfriend" kongpob asked spreading the mayo on the bread slices.

"He is only my neighbour, there is nothing more between us"

"The pink dusted on your cheeks doesn't say the same" he pointed to my cheeks. I must probably be blushing madly now. Guys, just imagine your long time crush showing up on your door step and acting all concerned. Isn't that just awesome?

"Is that obvious?" I pouted. "I had a crush on him. Nothing else"

His face displayed interest? Worry? Lust? I'm not sure, but I'm sure he is straight as a pole and he clearly is not attracted to me. Why does he have to look so broken all of the sudden.

I jumped when a loud thunder broke and all the windows and the doors started shutting front and back. I rushed to Nine's room, my kid will be shooked by now.

"Hey baby boy, i got you. You're safe" like i assumed he is hiding inside his blanket, tears running down his cheeks. He still sniffed now and then but calmed down eventually.

"another hurricane. I can't believe these people failed to warn us. Fuck" he cussed and yelled in anger after closing all the doors and windows with the help of p'knott.

"Watch your mouth kongpob" i pulled Nine more closer to me.
